Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 500.4: Gaining Prestige

Chapter 500.4: Gaining Prestige

This place certainly will have guards. As such, before Jing Wan and them even got close, they already got blocked outside.

From this place, they actually can already see some of the situation inside, especially that smell, exceptionally unpleasant. Jing Wan endured and ultimately didn’t use the handkerchief to cover her nose. Everything else aside, just based on that smell, Jing Wan can already determine that the hygiene inside certainly will be very bad.

Guard Qian went forward, taking out Jin Qinwang Manor’s plaque, stating their identity. The people guarding outside looked to one another in dismay. Not everyone was aware that a military inspector would come to the northwest, and even a qinwang. That’s why, suddenly learning Jing Wan’s identity, they were very much surprised. One has to know, last year when going to Jiangnan, because of a certain someone deliberately propagating, whenever Li Hong Yuan reached a certain place, many people all knew, but the ordinary commoners were still unaware. And this trip to the northwest, because of knowing the living Enma’s terrifying reputation, the people that were in the know eagerly wished to reduce Jin Qinwang’s existence, so ordinary soldiers not knowing couldn’t be more normal.

However, Jing Wan from the start just never planned on forcibly intruding, just stating that she wished to meet the person in charge. These guards naturally didn’t dare to slight. A qinwang of the imperial court, how high of position was that!

They went quickly, and the people that came out to welcome also came quite quickly. It was a middle-aged man and an elderly man.

Perhaps because of his old age, his steps were still strong and powerful. Jing Wan couldn’t help but glance a few more times.

The two walked before Jing Wan, stopping a few steps away. Although they were confused as to what a qin-wangfei was doing here, but the etiquette that one should have was still required. Just, compared to that middle-aged man’s over-caution, that elderly man seemingly was very fervent towards Jing Wan’s party. And Jing Wan also very quickly learned the reason.

Turns out, this old man was actually the northeast army’s military doctor, precisely the old doctor that went with He Zhen Wei’s family to the capital.

The old doctor was a military doctor in name, but didn’t have a military register. As such, at a time when the northeast might not have wars for a very long period of time, and the northwest was lacking people, he just led a portion of people to come help with light luggage.

“Dare one ask wangfei whether that manor doctor that made the special wound medicine came?”

The special wound medicine, wasn’t that precisely the medicine that had a miraculously good effect, but would also have the pain magnified by countless times? At first, it inherently was used as torture for interrogation, but if able to remove the side effect, and use as an ordinary wound medicine, then it would absolutely be the best wound medicine.

As people of the same profession, and especially a doctor that was devoted to saving lives, Gong Jiu, due to his teacher’s influence, generally would all respect a little.

TN: All

“Greetings old doctor.” Gong Jiu voluntarily stood out.

Probably shocked at his young age, the old doctor’s eyes slightly widened, but right now wasn’t the time to be bothered over this. Going forward, he directly grabbed Gong Jiu, “At such a young age, to be able to develop that kind of wound medicine, certainly will have an extremely deep understanding towards pharmacology. Come, come, come, precisely need your help.”

Gong Jiu wasn’t just a simple doctor. He’d came from the shadow guards, so even if he excelled in medicine, his martial art wasn’t weak either. An old doctor wanting to drag him away, that was impossible. He was someone with a master. If his master doesn’t give the word, how could he just leave like this.

Jing Wan, seeing the situation, “Gong Jiu, why don’t you go.”

“Yes.”

Jing Wan looked towards that middle-aged man. He was probably the actual person in charge.

“I wish to go in for a look, don’t know whether one will allow?”

Seeing Jing Wan still considered courteous, that person in charge’s slightly rigid body somewhat relaxed a little. For minor individuals like them, facing these nobles, that was just deferentially serving. If these nobles want to go in, even if it’s directly intruding, they were also helpless, even needing to be prepared to get vented on because of the terrible situation inside causing the noble to feel unwell. On the light side, it was probably just getting scolded, but on the serious side, perhaps might even have one’s own life thrown in.

To be able to encounter the type that would ask first, that truly was very fortunate. “Since your Highness asked, then, this humble one will just say a bit more. The situation inside is very bad. Your Highness is of noble and esteemed status. afraid it will make your Highness feel unwell. If your Highness doesn’t have the need to go in, then this humble one doesn’t suggest your Highness go in.”

“From the smell, can roughly imagine some of the situation inside. However, since I’m already standing here, then the goal certainly will be this place. As such, it’s probably not too possible for me to just leave without even taking a glance. If it has caused trouble for you all, then asking to please forgive.”

“Your Highness is too serious, that is shortening this humble one’s life.”

“Nothing too serious, after all, I’ve indeed cause trouble for you all.”

The young ladies behind her mutually looked to one another, all seeing from each other’s eyes disbelief. This wangfei completely didn’t have any airs at all, completely not like a wangfei. As the saying goes, a higher status can crush a person to death. Any random small official, switched with their family member, it was all possible for them to be pompous and arrogant. Everything else aside, just comparing their attitude when coming here in the past to this wangfei’s, they strangely felt ashamed, because they seemingly were too rude.

Although unpleasant, they still followed Jing Wan inside.

Jing Wan didn’t speak along the way, just quietly observing. Never mind bothering others, when seeing someone get lifted over, she would even voluntarily move aside.

Going deeper and deeper, even the guards of Jin Qinwang Manor may not have necessarily seen dead people before. This kind of environment all had a certain degree of influence on them, so further don’t need to mention those young ladies. In contrast, Jing Wan seemingly became more and more composed. Just, her originally relaxed expression grew increasingly cold, sometimes even entering the rooms for a look.

When she came out, she saw those young ladies’ pale complexion, covering their mouth, forcibly enduring the nausea.

“If unwell, just go back.”

The young girls however were stubborn, shaking their head, unwilling to go.

Jing Wan’s expression grew colder, “If you all throw up here, it will cause trouble for others. They are all very busy and very tired, understand?”

The young ladies blanked. They probably never thought that Jing Wan’s attitude would change this much, “Your Highness, we, we will definitely endure.”

“Then just do as you please.”

After exploring half the place, Jing Wan saw Gong Jiu. In this very moment, he was in the middle of sewing up someone’s wound, his movement very adept. Jing Wan for a moment was somewhat in a daze.

Once he finished sewing, he rubbed on a light yellow medicinal fluid.

Gong Jiu washed his hand and walked over, “Wangfei.”

Jing Wan nodded, “Sewing up the wound, you have always been researching?”

“Yes, because it is indeed very effective. Everywhere else aside, just on the battlefield, it should be able to have great use.”

“I saw that the thread you used probably wasn’t temporarily prepared, did you bring it from the capital? Towards this set of skill, do you more or less have a grasp on it?”

“It’s the sheep intestine thread that wangfei, you, mentioned. Because wangye once instructed, that’s why, have always been researching and straightening out.”

Jing Wan felt that the ‘her’ from her husband’s past life should’ve also had the matter of sewing up wounds brought up, just don’t know whether or not it got accepted. If accepted, then it certainly will become widespread. Her husband even personally led troops into battle as the emperor, so it was impossible for him to not know. Then, having long prepared to do some things, back when he first got bestowed his title and opened his manor, there should’ve already been preparations in this aspect, but Gong Jiu in the very beginning still only learned from her.

So, sure enough, it wasn’t able to become widespread?

“I thought that it wouldn’t get accepted.” Having the wound sewn up like sewing clothes, for those that don’t know, it certainly would sound very absurd, complete nonsense.

“Wangfei, where do these words come from? It’s just having the wound sewn up. Compared to losing the life, it truly isn’t worth mentioning. This one heard from Gong Jiu that this idea was first mentioned by wangfei? Gong Jiu has already proved that it is indeed effective. This, for the soldiers, is a great blessing. This one thanks your Highness.” As the old doctor said this, he deeply bowed towards Jing Wan.

Jing Wan hurriedly avoided, “Old doctor is shortening my life. At the time, I also just ‘suddenly’ thought of, and merely moved my mouth. Everything else was all done by Gong Jiu. If you truly want to thank, it should also be thanking him.”

“Wangfei’s words are incorrect. For many things, what it lacks is precisely that idea. That’s why, wangfei doesn’t need to be modest.” Gong Jiu said.

“Precisely this reasoning.” The old doctor echoed to the side.

“No need to say all this anymore. Actually, I have a bit of an idea, just about to say, don’t know………..”

“Wangfei, do not hesitate to speak.” The old doctor immediately said. For someone that was able to suggest clever ideas, having thoughts at this time, perhaps it will be another very useful thing.

“Actually, it’s like this. I feel that the environment here is a bit too terrible. These soldiers are suffering from pain and illness to begin with. In a terrible environment, even a perfectly fine person would all feel unwell, let alone them. And if unwell, their willpower certainly will be low. As the saying goes, amassed worries can become an illness. If the willpower is down, then it will certainly also bring about negative influences. Additionally, I’ve also studied some medical books before, especially relatively special illnesses. For example, the plague, nine times out of ten, is also related to a terrible environment…………”

Once these words came out, it stirred up quite the disturbance.

“Don’t panic, let me finish first.”

T/N: The old doctor first appeared in chapter 371, when Li Hong Yuan ordered them to use that particular wound medicine on He Shi Hai. Afterwards, Li Hong Yuan also gave the recipe for the medicine to He Shi Hai to pass on the the old doctor so that he can help research and improve it for the soldiers.
