I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 164: Journey to Youzhou

"However, I have another condition, please agree to it, Your Highness." Seeing the opportunity, Xu Qingyi made a request to Prince Xun.

"Doctor Xu, you tell me, as long as I can do it, I will agree to it."

"I know that Lord Xun invited us to Youzhou to treat patients. If we go to Youzhou and are helpless against those difficult and complicated diseases, Lord, you must not force us to stay in Youzhou, but send us back to Lingshan Mansion."

"That's it? I agree." Prince Xun thought Xu Qingyi would propose some difficult conditions, but he didn't expect it to be just this? He agreed directly.

If the two of them can't cure these diseases, there is no point in forcing them to stay in Youzhou.

The promise made by Prince Xun made Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan feel much more at ease. At least they didn't have to worry about being forced to stay in Youzhou because of their poor medical skills.

"Your Majesty, you invited my sister and I to go to Youzhou this time to treat someone's illness.

I don't know if there are enough medicinal herbs in Youzhou, but don't let us run out of them when we are treating people, which will affect our medical skills." Bai Yan reminded them after seeing Prince Xun agreed to their request.

“Youzhou already has a lot of medicinal materials stored up.

I will leave some people in Lingshan Prefecture. If Youzhou is really short of medicine, I will send a pigeon to ask the people who stay in Lingshan Prefecture to collect the medicine and send it to Youzhou as soon as possible."

.........

Three days later.

Several carriages slowly drove out of Lingshan Mansion, with the curtains slightly lowered, hiding the scene inside the carriages.

The group of people were none other than Prince Xun, Xu Qingyi, Bai Yan and others who were travelling in the carriage to Youzhou.

As the carriage bumped along, they gradually moved away from the familiar Lingshan Mansion and entered an unfamiliar area. The scenery along the way gradually became desolate and sparsely populated, as if they had entered another world.

Xu Qingyi thought about the difficult and complicated diseases she was about to face, feeling nervous and excited. She knew that although her medical skills were good, there were many strange diseases in the world, and there were always some she had never seen.

Youzhou is located in the north of Tianshan Kingdom, on the border. The mountains, rivers and streams here are full of primitive and wild atmosphere.

Five days later, the carriage was galloping across the grassland but it was not bumpy. Now they had entered Youzhou.

Youzhou City has tall and thick city walls that still stand tall despite wind, frost, rain and snow. On the prairie, there are galloping horses and herds of cattle and sheep, presenting a vibrant grassland picture.

Xu Qingyi lifted the car curtain and looked outside through the gap.

The vast grassland is like a huge green carpet, with no visible edge in the distance. It seems to connect heaven and earth, spreading between heaven and earth, giving people endless reverie.

The horses are galloping freely on the grassland, their manes fluttering in the wind, burning like fire, while the cattle and sheep in the distance are quietly grazing, forming a harmonious and peaceful picture.

The carriage slowly drove into Youzhou City, and the guards at the city gate stared at them vigilantly.

Only after Prince Xun showed his token did the guards let him pass.

Entering the city, there are many shops on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of goods. Although it is located in the border area, its prosperity is not inferior to Lingshan Prefecture.

“This city of Youzhou took me ten years to build. It is thirty miles long and more than ten miles wide. Now, almost all the people in Youzhou live in this city.

With this city, Youzhou has more exchanges with other cities, which has promoted the prosperity and economy of Youzhou. "Prince Xun seemed to see the surprise of Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, and he smiled and said proudly.

Originally, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were not riding in the same carriage with Prince Xun. It was only when they were about to enter the territory of Youzhou that Prince Xun called them over to ride in the same carriage.

"From what Your Highness said, it seems that the people of Youzhou used to live in tents?" Bai Yan speculated.

"That's right." Prince Xun nodded.

"Your Highness, are we going to see a doctor today, or something else?" After the carriage stopped at the door of a luxurious mansion, Bai Yan asked Prince Xun.

"You must be tired after the long journey these days. I will let the princess arrange for you to stay and rest for a day. You can see patients tomorrow." Prince Xun nodded to the princess who came to greet him outside the carriage, and got off the carriage holding the hand of the carriage.

After asking Princess Xun to settle Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, he entered the mansion first.

"My humble daughter Xu Qingyi greets Princess Xun."

"I, Bai Yan, greet Prince Xun's Palace."

Xu Qingyi and the other person got off the carriage and bowed to the princess in front of them.

Princess Xun was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a variety of exquisite beads on her head. She looked noble yet gentle. She smiled and helped the two of them up, saying softly, "Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai, you have worked hard. Please come into the mansion and rest quickly."

In the future, I will trouble you two doctors to pay more attention to the prince's illness."

Princess Xun also knew that this time Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai came to Youzhou not only to cure Prince Xun's insomnia, but also to treat some patients with strange diseases in Youzhou and find out the causes of their illnesses.

Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan followed Princess Xun into the palace, admiring the scenery along the way. The palace's architecture was simple and elegant, revealing nobility and solemnity everywhere. The two were arranged in a quiet courtyard with an elegant and pleasant environment.

After several days of traveling by boat and train, they settled down, washed up, and had dinner. Then Xu Qingyi and the other man went to sleep and did not wake up until noon the next day.

After waking up, feeling refreshed, Xu Qingyi stretched and felt that all the fatigue of the past few days seemed to be swept away.

After washing up and having breakfast with Baiyan, someone came to call them to go meet Prince Xun.

"Your Highness, where is the patient we want to see?" Bai Yan asked after meeting Prince Xun.

"Everything has been arranged in the reception building. Lai Fu, take Doctor Bai and Doctor Xu with you.

In addition, remember that all treatments must be handled by Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai. They are fully authorized to use any medicinal herbs they need as long as they are available in the mansion.

If there is none, send a pigeon to Lingshan Mansion and have it delivered." Prince Xun instructed Butler Lai Fu.

"Yes. Doctor Bai, Doctor Xu, please come this way." After Lai Fu respectfully bowed to Prince Xun, he led Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan to the reception building.

"Butler Lai Fu, are there many people being treated this time?" Bai Yan asked Lai Fu who was walking in front.

“Not many, just six or eight people.

Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai, I believe you two also know that the prince asked you to come here this time because someone in Youzhou has developed two strange diseases.

One type is when you get sick, see a doctor and take medicine, but it doesn't work and the mortality rate is extremely high. The other type is when you are not life-threatening but it is very stressful and uncomfortable.

The prince wants the two of you to find the cause and cure for these two diseases.

Therefore, we only found a few people to treat you." Lai Fu, who was walking in front, said.
