Chapter 94: Someone Died
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Revival Hall.
Yu Yunxi had just finished treating a patient when she suddenly thought of the little bun. She hurriedly turned to ask Qian Jiao, “Where’s Junjin now?”
“County Princess, Little Master is in the backyard now,” Qian Jiao promptly replied.
Yu Yunxi finally relaxed when she heard this. She said seriously, “Tell Qian Qing to keep an eye on him. Don’t let him run around again.”
“Yes, County Princess.”
“Have you investigated the route the Twelfth Prince took to leave the palace?” Yu Yunxi asked as her eyes glinted coldly.
“I’ve investigated it thoroughly. It seems like because of the presence of the Young Master, the people in the palace are on guard and won’t let the Twelfth Prince leave the palace easily,” Qian Jiao replied with a hint of anger.
‘The Twelfth Prince has crossed the line! Little Master was almost harmed by him. How can the King of Xinan’s Residence take this lying down?’
“It’s good that he stays in the palace,” Yu Yunxi said calmly as she rested her hands on the side.
“County Princess, you mean…”
“Originally, I was worried that we’d arouse the suspicion of the Emperor and the others if we made a move on Feng Weigeng outside the palace. After all, our King of Xinan’s Residence has the biggest motive. However, if something happens to Feng Weigeing in the palace, then they can’t blame anyone…” Yu Yunxi slowly explained.
Qian Jiao’s eyes flashed with excitement. However, she soon looked worried as she said, “County Princess, do you mean to attack the Twelfth Prince in the palace? However, the palace is strictly guarded by the imperial guards…”
“No matter what, I must give it a try,” Yu Yunxi said frostily.
She carried her son for so many months and almost lost her life giving birth to him. How could she allow others to bully him like this?
At this moment, they heard a commotion at the door.
“Help! Anyone, help! The doctor of the Revival Hall killed someone!”
When Yu Yunxi walked out with Qian Jiao, they saw a fat woman on the ground. A pale and motionless man lay on the straw mat next to her.
Upon seeing Yu Yunxi, the fat woman began to kick up a bigger fuss. She shouted, “It’s her! It’s her! She killed my son! My Zhang family only has one son, but he died just like that! It’s all her fault! She should be struck by lightning! ”
Many people were attracted by her shouting and began to discuss among themselves.
“What’s wrong?”
“I heard that the Revival Hall made a mistake and caused someone to die! That person came to seek justice!”
“No way! I heard many people saying that the doctors of the Revival Hall are highly skilled! How could they make a mistake that resulted in someone’s death?”
“That’s why I said we should look for more capable doctors. How could we trust such a young woman? It was a fluke when she cured people before. See, something finally happened! ”
Meanwhile, Qian Jiao reached out to pull the fat woman to her feet, feeling slightly anxious.
However, Yu Yunxi stopped her and said, “Wait. Let me talk to her.”
Yu Yunxi approached the man lying on the straw mat. The man was stiff, and his face and lips were unnaturally pale. His body also emitted a foul stench. He really looked dead, and the stench emitted would make people think it was the smell of a corpse.
Yu Yunxi recognized the man. He had come over in the morning and said that his stomach was uncomfortable. At that time, she had checked his pulse and discovered that he had eaten something wrong. After that, she gave him a simple prescription. No matter what, there was no way he could have died from the prescription.
Yu Yunxi reached out to pull his robes to the side.
The fat woman quickly got between Yu Yunxi and her son before she shouted,
“What are you doing? Don’t you dare to touch my son, you murderer!”
The fat woman began to cry as she continued shouting, “Everyone, take a good look at this woman! Her medical ethics are corrupt, and she has harmed someone’s life! My poor son! He was originally fine, but after taking her prescription, he lost his life!”
With this, the discussion in the surroundings grew even more animated.
“How pitiful! Such a good child was killed by an unscrupulous doctor just like that!”
“That’s right! The Revival Hall must pay for this with their lives!”
Faced with the criticism, Yu Yunxi said calmly, “Go to the coroner’s office. Let him dissect your son to check his cause of death. If it’s my fault, I’ll definitely pay for it with my life.”
Upon hearing these words, the fat woman’s expression turned a little stiff. After a moment, she raised her head and shouted, “Who knows if you’ll use your identity as the County Princess to collude with the coroner? I’m just a commoner. How can I stand up against you?”
“You know my identity?” Yu Yunxi’s voice turned cold. She did not reveal her identity to her patients after all. For this reason, no one knew that the doctor of the Revival Hall was also the County Princess. So how could the fat woman know?
Perhaps frightened by Yu Yunxi’s aura, the fat woman’s expression became even more unnatural. However, she still said stubbornly, “It’s not difficult to find out your identity! In order to seek justice for my son, I naturally had to do some investigating. Don’t change the topic! Tell me, how are you going to pay for my son’s life?”
Meanwhile, the onlookers were also surprised by the fat woman’s words.
“County Princess? Could she be the County Princess of Xinan who brought chaos to the Yu family recently?”
“It should be her. After all, there are no other Country Princesses in the capital now. Even if she’s a County Princess, she doesn’t have the right to play with people’s lives!”
“That’s right! We must seek justice from her today!”
Seeing that everyone was supporting her, the fat woman’s confidence was boosted. She cried even louder than before, “County Princess, I know you’re noble. You might think our lives are cheap, but you can’t play with our lives like that!”
Yu Yunxi looked at the fat woman coldly as she asked, “Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
The fat woman’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She sobbed and wiped her tears as she said, “I don’t mean to make things difficult for you, but my son is the pillar of the family…”
All of a sudden, Yu Yunxi interjected, “What if I compensate you with 10,000 taels of gold?”
‘10,000 taels of gold?!’
The fat woman almost bit her tongue off in shock. She gulped as her eyes shone with greed. However, she pretended to be troubled as she said, “B-but, but… your medical skills are terrible… I can’t allow you to keep harming others…”
Yu Yunxi continued to ask calmly, “Then what if I shut down the Revival Hall?”
The fat woman’s face lit up as soon as she heard these words. This was her goal, after all. She coughed and said loudly, “If that’s the case, that would be the best. County Princess, since you don’t have any medical skills, you shouldn’t let the Revival Hall harm people!”
With these, the others began to speak in low voices, thinking that Yu Yunxi could not hear them.
However, she naturally could hear every word clearly.
“That’s right. Since she’s so terrible, she should close down the medical hall as soon as possible.”
“Since she agreed so easily, she must have caused that man’s death!”
Yu Yunxi turned around and swept her cold gaze across the crowd as she said, “Everyone, you all think my skills are bad, but every day at noon, you run here faster than anyone else when you hear the hall is giving away free medicine..
Were you not afraid that the medicine was poisonous?”
