Chapter 159 - 159 The Zhifu's Consultation Invitation
159 The Zhifu’s Consultation Invitation
“Madam Qin, I, Nie Yuansheng, will never forget your kindness in this life and the next life. As long as there’s a chance, even if I have to sacrifice my life or go through water and fire, I will still repay your kindness to you and Imperial Doctor Tian! I’ll take my mother there now!”
He looked deeply at the two of them again, then slowly left with the old yellow bull pulling the carriage.
The people who saw this scene were all moved. At this time, they were also sighing with emotion. This Nie Yuansheng was really lucky to be able to get Imperial Doctor Tian and Mo Ruyue’s full treatment. They heard that this kind of operation fee was extremely expensive, but it seemed that he was exempted from it.
How could they not encounter such a good thing?
Seeing that Mo Ruyue was preparing to return to the Huichan Hall, someone immediately asked loudly, “Lady Qin, if one day we have to have such an operation, can you also waive the medical fees? Life is much more precious than money.”
Mo Ruyue turned around to look at the person who spoke. The clothes he was wearing were much better than Nie Yuansheng’s, and there was a jade pendant hanging on his belt. Although it was a rough jade, at least he could afford it, which meant that he was richer than Nie Yuansheng.
“You also know that life is precious, so why are you still unwilling to spend money to save it?”
Her words immediately caused a burst of laughter in the hall, making the man who asked the question blush. He also laughed awkwardly a few times and did not dare to speak again.
During this period of time, there had been people coming from far away to seek medical treatment. There were also people who were seriously ill and wanted Mo Ruyue to perform an operation. However, because of the expensive operation fee and the harsh conditions, they could not achieve their wishes.
Even though this person was testing Mo Ruyue, what he asked was what many people were thinking.
After returning to Huichun Hall, Mo Ruyue was called to Imperial Doctor Tian’s study.
“Lady Qin, today I received another card asking for a consultation. It’s the daughter of the magistrate. It’s said that there’s a tumor in her stomach, and it’s very high. It looks like she’s a few months pregnant.”
“I’ve secretly looked for many famous doctors before, but they were all helpless. Because this is a family scandal, the magistrate had no choice but to hide his daughter away with the excuse that she went to the temple to copy the scriptures to show her filial piety.”
“I heard the news that you can perform this kind of surgery, so I sent you a post to ask for your help. He promised ten taels of gold for the treatment, but of course, he also requested that it be kept absolutely confidential, otherwise…”
Imperial Doctor Tian didn’t finish his sentence, but Mo Ruyue could understand that he wanted to silence them.
The power of a magistrate was much greater than that of the county magistrate. To make a person disappear without a trace was as easy as crushing an ant.
“Who cares if he’s a magistrate or not, he should first manage his own people and not leak the secret. If they don’t trust us, they don’t have to come and look for us.”
Mo Ruyue was not someone who would get scared. She didn’t care if she was treated or not. She even thought it was troublesome.
Imperial Doctor Tian laughed bitterly. He had forgotten about her personality. She could be persuaded by reason but not forced by force. Sometimes, she would not be persuaded by force or persuasion, so how could she listen to such threatening words?
More importantly, the restrictions on performing this kind of surgery were too great, and it was not something that could be done just because they promised to do it.
First of all, he needed a qualified operating theater.
It was decided that if he wanted to perform the surgery, he could only do it in the county’s Huichun Hall. However, it was a little difficult to completely hide it from people. After all, he was not called to the house to practice medicine. He just had to keep his own people’s mouths shut.
Now that Mo Ruyue was in the limelight, there were many eyes watching. It was really difficult to not find any clues.
Second, the patient would lose a lot of blood during the surgery. Even if acupuncture could stop the bleeding and alleviate the bleeding to a certain extent, it would not solve the root of the problem.
However, there were extremely strict conditions for the appropriate blood plasma, from the test of whether the blood type was compatible, whether the blood provided was clean and safe, to the preparation and storage of the blood plasma after the blood was drawn, and so on.
The last time the old woman had an operation, it was her son who had supplied her with blood. Imperial Doctor Tian’s method of testing whether the blood type was suitable was actually to dissolve the blood in each drop. It was Mo Ruyue who had secretly brought the blood into her interspace to check and found that the blood type was the same, so she agreed to the operation.
Imperial Doctor Tian had also discussed with Mo Ruyue about the solution to these problems. However, Mo Ruyue could not expose her own interspace equipment and advanced technology because of this. However, she had also made various attempts in her tool room.
Up until now, she had yet to find an effective alternative method, so the best solution was to put it aside for the time being. Without a foolproof plan, she would not act rashly.
Imperial Doctor Tian’s heart was heavy as he looked at the invitation. It was a consultation card from the magistrate. If he rejected it, it would be equivalent to offending the magistrate.
Mo Ruhan looked at the old man’s grave expression and indifferently advised, “Elder Tian, don’t be anxious. There’s no need to immediately refuse. Since the magistrate has already come to our door, it’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be any princes and grandsons coming to our door in the future. Didn’t you already think of this?”
“Just tell them that we still need to make some preparations here. If we want the operation to go smoothly, Miss will come to Huichun Hall for the operation. Also, I need the magistrate to provide some things.”
The tools for drawing blood and transfusing blood were all provided by Imperial Doctor Tian. Mo Ruyue had also made some improvements on this basis. The difficulty now was in the blood type test and the preservation of blood plasma. If these two points could be solved, the entire process of the operation would not be a difficult thing for Mo Ruyue.
“Alright, then I’ll reply like this for now. Give me a list of what you need, and I’ll attach it to the letter and send it to the magistrate.”
Imperial Doctor Tian thought about it and could only think of this method, so he began to write a reply.
Mo Ruyue’s list had quite a few types of ores, which made Imperial Doctor Tian feel very strange after looking at it. Although the types of ores needed were not that many, why would there be so many types of ores needed for surgery?
Besides, the state had very strict control over the ores, and private mining was prohibited. Even with the power of the magistrate, it was not an easy task to gather so many ores.
“I want to use these ores to forge some tools. You should know when you see the amount.”
Mo Ruyue only gave a simple explanation. After all, the equipment provided by Imperial Doctor Tian was also made of metal refined from ore, so he could fully understand her explanation at once.
After the two of them worked together to write the reply, Mo Ruyue temporarily ignored it. Now that the choice was back in the hands of the magistrate, she only needed to wait for a result.
She had never counted how many people Mo Ruyue had treated during this time, but there were all kinds of people among them. After she had treated them, they had all become her loyal fans.
Having gained so many fangirls all of a sudden, Mo Ruyue was also very helpless. Whether it was praise or slander, it would be troublesome for her. It was best for her to earn money quietly.
