Chapter 144 is just trying to absorb people's life force.
"Medical clinic?"
Zhai Muling nodded, her eyes resolute: "I have no heart for love anymore. I just want to do as much as I can and save as many people as possible."
It's worth it to have lived this life.
"It's so good that my sister thinks this way."
“Father and brothers will definitely support you!” Zhai Rongyu said with bright eyes.
As long as my sister doesn't dwell on the pain of the past, every day from now on will be a good day!
Zhai Muling glanced at the lily again; its newly opened petals, bathed in sunlight, were pure and beautiful.
Her gaze softened.
Yes, every day is a good day.
She will definitely live a good life, and he will too.
Zhai Muling smiled slightly, then lowered her head, somewhat wistfully saying, "It's just that I've never practiced medicine before. If I were to open a clinic rashly, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it well."
She doesn't care about her own setbacks.
If you misdiagnose someone's pulse and harm them, you'll have done more harm than good.
"What's the big deal?" Zhai Rongyu clenched her fist to encourage her, "My sister and I are going to do free clinics on the street!"
"Free clinic?" Zhai Muling frowned slightly.
Zhai Rongyu hummed in agreement and patted her hand. "Sister, just go ahead and take her pulse. I'll be watching over you from the side."
"If there are any mistakes or omissions, we can find them immediately and will not cause any trouble for others!"
Zhai Muling's eyes shone like stars, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"Rong'er, if it could be like this, it would be perfect..."
She touched Zhai Rongyu's face with gentle eyes.
They agreed not to thank each other again.
But she never stopped feeling grateful, grateful to God for giving her such a wonderful younger sister.
Following her movements, Zhai Rongyu pressed her face against her palm and rubbed it against her hand.
What do these little things matter as long as my sister is happy?
She took Zhai Muling's hand, stood up, pulled her to the table and sat her down, pushing the food plate on the table towards her.
"Sister, hurry up and eat."
"Only when you're full can you have the energy to work."
A warm feeling welled up in Zhai Muling's heart, and her eyebrows curved gently.
"Okay, I'll do whatever Rong'er says."
She picked up the bowl and began to sip the porridge slowly.
Zhai Rong rested her chin on her hands on the table, and only after seeing that she had finished the porridge did she speak: "Father has already sent a bunch of thank-you gifts to Medicine King Valley."
Zhai Muling paused, put down the spoon, and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth.
"I've troubled you, Father."
"Sister and Valley Master Xue..." Zhai Rongyu couldn't help but ask.
Zhai Muling glanced at her and said calmly, "Unless something unexpected happens, the Valley Master and I will have no further interaction in the future."
"Rong'er, please don't mention it again."
Zhai Rongyu sighed.
Fine, I finally found a couple I liked, and it ended before it even started...
It hurts, it hurts too much!
As the two sisters were talking, Shuang'er rushed in, "Miss, an imperial edict has arrived from the palace. Master requests that you go to the front hall to receive it!"
Zhai Rongyu suddenly stood up.
"What imperial edict?"
"It seems that your wedding date with the Regent has been set," Shuang'er said.
Zhai Rongyu glanced at Zhai Muling.
Zhai Muling smiled and nudged her, "Go on."
Seeing Zhai Rong heading excitedly towards the front hall, Zhai Muling's eyes couldn't help but soften.
She was content with what Rong'er could have, even if she couldn't possess it herself.
Zhai Rongyu arrived at the front hall and knelt down with Minister Zhai to receive the imperial decree.
Only then did they learn that the Emperor had set the wedding date for March of the following year, at the beginning of spring.
Zhai Rongyu's fair face flushed pink.
March...so fast...
"Your Majesty, I accept the imperial decree and express my gratitude. Long live the Emperor!"
Minister Zhai accepted the imperial edict, and the eunuch, beaming with joy, offered his congratulations, "Great joy for your daughter!"
"Your Excellency is truly blessed; from now on, you will be a legitimate member of the imperial family."
"It's something that so many people would kill for."
"The future of the Minister's Mansion is limitless..."
Minister Zhai chuckled softly and slipped a red envelope into the eunuch's sleeve. "Thank you for your kind words, Your Excellency."
"We, the Zhai family, are deeply grateful for His Majesty's favor."
"From now on, I will faithfully fulfill my duties and do my best to relieve His Majesty's worries."
Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow in surprise.
When did Father become so formal and ceremonial?
He would never have lowered himself to speak kindly to the eunuchs before.
Minister Zhai lowered his brows and looked at Zhai Rongyu. Seeing the joy on her face, he sighed inwardly.
Since it's a marriage that Rong'er is happy with, then as her father, he has to do everything he can to fulfill her wishes.
However, he also had his worries.
The Crown Prince died, and Consort Shu dismounted...
The palace is a dangerous place; if Rong'er really becomes the Regent's wife, who knows how many eyes will be watching her.
One wrong step could plunge you into an abyss.
He could only do his best to make arrangements for her.
Show kindness widely and make fewer enemies.
The eunuch accepted the red envelope with a smile and left satisfied.
Zhai Rongyu walked up to Minister Zhai and said, "Father, my sister and I want to conduct free medical consultations in the capital to treat the poor. Do you agree?"
Minister Zhai nodded, "This is a good thing, so we will do as you say."
He paused for a moment, then said, "If there is any shortage, just let Steward Zhang take care of it."
Zhai Rongyu smiled and hugged his arm, "I knew Daddy was the best~"
[I won't be as pedantic as other ancient people.]
[They said things like, "Women shouldn't show their faces in public."]
……
The free clinic booth was quickly set up near Lanyue's shop.
Zhai Rongyu specially found an empty room in the backyard of Lanyue to temporarily store the medicinal herbs that might be needed.
It's not difficult to diagnose someone's pulse, but the problem is that some people still can't afford medicine.
It's pointless to treat it.
The sign for the "free clinic" had only been up for a short time when a large number of people gathered around to watch.
"Free medical treatment, is it true?" a bolder person asked as they approached.
“Of course,” Zhai Rongyu said with a smile, “we have also prepared some commonly used herbs to give to those in need.”
"really?!"
Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately erupted in excitement.
Not only are the doctor's visits free, but they're also giving away medicine for free!
What a wonderful thing!
"What a kind person!" A young man was about to step forward to have his cough and asthma checked when someone next to him pulled his sleeve.
"You actually believe her?"
"That Miss Zhai is a vixen!"
"A witch?!" The young man stopped abruptly, his face showing surprise.
He had just come to the capital from outside the city seeking medical treatment and did not know the two women at the stall.
Judging from their appearances, one is delicate and beautiful and the other is aloof. They both look like fairies. How could they be demons?
The onlookers immediately began chattering and trying to explain it to him.
"This witch has killed so many people, and now she's pulling this stunt. Who knows what she's up to!"
"You absolutely mustn't treat them! What if you make things worse!"
"But...but they're free..." the young man stammered.
If what they say makes no sense, then we just won't believe them...
What are you afraid of...
"Hey!" A commoner patted him on the shoulder. "Young man, you're really not afraid of death!"
"Are you from out of town?"
The young man nodded.
"You have no idea how powerful this demoness is! She's incredibly capable!"
"If I wanted to harm you, it would only take me a few words!"
"Maybe they set up this stall just to drain people's life force!"
The people's stories became increasingly outrageous.
A furious shout rang out from the crowd: "That's utter nonsense!"
Zhai Rongyu was somewhat surprised to see the person who had come.
