Chapter 649: Love
Medical Heart to Tang, Love to Chang'an (Continued)
The days after marriage were as sweet as honey. Lin Yue and Su Yu lived a harmonious life in the Su Mansion. With the knowledge of modern medicine, Lin Yue often prepared some simple medicines at home, which not only improved the physical fitness of everyone in the mansion, but also made the servants of the Su Mansion admire the new wife. Su Yu went to court every day to make suggestions for the court. In his spare time, he discussed poetry, calligraphy and painting with Lin Yue, and the relationship between the two became deeper. One day, Su Yu returned from the palace with a slightly solemn look. Seeing this, Lin Yue hurriedly brewed a cup of fragrant tea for him and asked softly, "My husband, what happened in the court today?" Su Yu sighed and said, "The emperor has been ill recently. The doctors of the Imperial Hospital have tried every method, but it has not improved. The people in the palace are panicked, and the ministers are also worried." Lin Yue's heart moved. Although she had not really been exposed to the medical affairs of the ancient palace, the modern medical cognition of common diseases might come in handy. After thinking for a while, Lin Yue said to Su Yu: "My husband, although I don't understand the palace rules, I may be able to provide some ideas for the emperor's illness. I wonder if you can let me know the emperor's symptoms?" Su Yu looked at Lin Yue's determined eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He knew that Lin Yue's medical skills were extraordinary and might really create a miracle. So he described the emperor's symptoms in detail to Lin Yue, and while Lin Yue listened, he analyzed the possible causes in his mind. A few days later, Su Yu found an opportunity to tactfully convey some of Lin Yue's insights to the head of the Imperial Hospital. The head was skeptical at first about these novel ideas, but when the emperor's condition did not improve, he could only try to adjust the prescription according to Lin Yue's suggestions. At the same time, a remote village outside Chang'an City also encountered a problem. The water source in the village suddenly became turbid, and the villagers experienced abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms after drinking it. After learning about this, Lin Yue decided to go to the village in person to check. Su Yu was worried, so he accompanied her. Arriving at the village, Lin Yue carefully checked the water source and asked about the villagers' diet and daily life. She finally determined that the water source was polluted. She instructed the villagers to purify the water source with simple methods, such as sedimentation and filtration, and also prescribed medicine for the sick villagers. With the help of Lin Yue and Su Yu, the villagers' condition gradually improved, and the village regained its former vitality. In the palace, after the emperor took the adjusted prescription, his health actually improved. The emperor was very pleased and rewarded the Imperial Hospital heavily. The head of the hospital did not dare to take credit and truthfully reported to the emperor that it was Su Yu who provided the key idea. After hearing this, the emperor summoned Su Yu to the palace. Su Yu told the emperor all the credit of Lin Yue. The emperor was amazed at Lin Yue's medical skills and ordered Su Yu to take Lin Yue to the palace for a talk. Lin Yue entered the palace to meet the emperor with a nervous mood. She was dressed in plain clothes and did not apply makeup, but she could not hide her confidence and calmness. After meeting the emperor, Lin Yue saluted without arrogance or servility. The emperor asked her many questions about medical skills, and Lin Yue answered them one by one, with clear logic and unique insights. The emperor praised her highly and even intended to let her work in the Imperial Hospital to assist the imperial doctors in treating the royal family and ministers. However, this proposal caused controversy in the court. Some conservative ministers believed that it was improper for women to show up in the Imperial Hospital, and that Lin Yue was born a concubine's daughter and had a low status, so she should not be so important. Su Yu argued in the court. He listed Lin Yue's achievements in curing the epidemic in Chang'an and treating the emperor, and begged the ministers to abandon their prejudices. In this debate, Lin Yue felt the stubbornness of ancient feudal concepts. But she did not back down, she knew that her medical skills could help more people. After discussing with Su Yu, she decided to open a clinic among the people, treat the people for free, and prove her value with practical actions. On the day the clinic opened, people came to congratulate. Lin Yue and Su Yu were busy in the clinic all day, treating the people who came to seek medical treatment. Their good deeds spread throughout Chang'an, and more and more people praised Lin Yue's medical skills, and those who once opposed her gradually weakened. Days passed, Lin Yue and Su Yu were busy in the clinic and at home, and their love became more and more solid as a rock in the years. They not only worked together to bring health and hope to the people of Chang'an, but also wrote their legendary lives in the process, becoming a good story in Chang'an City and being passed down from generation to generation.
The doctor's heart is towards Tang, and his feelings are tied to Chang'an (Continued)
Lin Yue and Su Yu's clinic is becoming more and more prosperous, and people come to seek medical treatment every day. With his superb medical skills and benevolence, Lin Yue has helped countless patients regain their health, and the reputation of the clinic has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. However, as the tree attracts the wind, their good deeds inadvertently touched the interests of some people. Chen Dehai, the owner of a time-honored clinic in the city, was jealous when he saw that Lin Yue's clinic had taken away a lot of his business. He was a profit-seeking person. The prescriptions he prescribed on weekdays were expensive, and he often exaggerated the condition for personal gain. Now that Lin Yue's clinic is free of charge, it is undoubtedly a blow to his rice bowl. Chen Dehai had a vicious plan to give Lin Yue a head start. One day, a ragged middle-aged man came to Lin Yue's clinic and shouted injustice as soon as he entered the door, saying that after taking the medicine prescribed by Lin Yue, his condition not only did not improve, but worsened. When the people around heard this, they cast questioning glances. Lin Yue's heart tightened. She had always been confident in her diagnosis and prescriptions, but she couldn't help but panic in the face of this sudden change. Seeing this, Su Yu immediately stepped forward to calm everyone down, and invited the man into the inner hall to inquire about the situation in detail. After careful questioning, Lin Yue found that the man's symptoms were completely inconsistent with the prescription she had prescribed. She observed the man's demeanor calmly and found that a trace of guilt occasionally flashed in his eyes. Lin Yue had a plan in mind. While she was stabilizing the man, she secretly ordered Su Yu to investigate the man's background. Soon, Su Yu found out that the man was a frequent visitor to Chen Dehai's clinic, and he made a living by helping Chen Dehai do some shameful things on weekdays. After Lin Yue got the evidence, she did not immediately expose the man. She first set up a high platform at the entrance of the clinic and invited the people in the city to come and watch. Afterwards, she diagnosed the man again in front of everyone, clearly pointing out the truth about the man's illness and the contradictions between the symptoms he described and her own prescription. The man still wanted to quibble, but Su Yu took the stage with evidence and made public the fact that the man was instructed by Chen Dehai to deliberately discredit the clinic. When the people heard about it, they expressed indignation at the man and Chen Dehai's actions, and turned to trust Lin Yue and her clinic more. After Chen Dehai's conspiracy was exposed, he still did not give up.
