Chapter 1351: Chapter 1351 Winning People’s Hearts
Originally, they had already prepared for the possibility of being chased away by ten families, hoping at least one would take them in. However, if the Empress Dowager acknowledged them, they only needed to mention the case of treating her illness…
Uh, of course, there was still a chance of being chased away, but surely it wouldn’t be as embarrassing as being swept out with a broom, right?
“Master, the Empress Dowager’s illness is cured. The Emperor plans to announce to the world that he accepted the treatment from the Crown Princess of Zhuzhao Country. Although the purpose is to foster good relations between the two countries and give an account to the people, it also indirectly shows that doctors are not inferior to witch doctors.”
“The Emperor wants to announce it to the world?”
One good news followed another, and Gu Youyou felt that happiness came too suddenly.
Last night, she felt that in Nanzhao, witch doctors were favored and that being a doctor was as difficult as ascending the heavens.
Who would have thought that after just one night, there would be such a dramatic twist?
No matter how the people might react, the Emperor of Nanzhao had essentially paved the way for them; the rest depended on their own performance.
“Yes, Master, I will go with you today. Where are you going?” Jin Liuying expressed with some excitement. She was at the age of loving fun and seeing Gu Youyou and Searcy each carrying a medicine box, she naturally assumed there was something fun.
Gu Youyou smiled, revealing her white teeth, showing how happy she was. Newest update provided by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
She said, “Alright, you come with us. Even if others don’t give us face, as the wife of the Fifteenth Prince, you must have some influence, right?”
Searcy stuffed a basket into Jin Liuying’s arms, saying, “Since the Princess wants to go, then help me carry this. I still need to carry the medicine box.”
Everyone was happy and didn’t mind much, so they each carried a basket and set off.
In Nanzhao Country, it was common to see women dressed in vibrant colors, carrying baskets on their backs, laughing and chatting, forming a unique scenery amid the green hills and clear waters.
Gu Youyou and her companions felt pretty much the same way as they laughed and joked along the way.
A village was located halfway up the mountain, and by the time they climbed up, they were already drenched in sweat.
Looking at the village not far ahead, they sat down to take a rest.
Gu Youyou took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off Jin Liuying’s forehead.
The young girl smiled happily, took the handkerchief shyly, and thanked Gu Youyou.
Gu Youyou also smiled and asked, “Tired?”
Jin Liuying nodded lightly, saying, “Tired, a bit. I’ve never sweated this much before. Even in the Imperial Garden catching butterflies, there was always someone watching me, and they would remind me to stop when I seemed tired.”
Searcy turned her head and said, “Life here is different. It’s not easy for a pampered princess like you to endure such hardships. Many young ladies from well-off families can’t even walk half a mile without needing a sedan chair.”
“What’s the difference from being a useless person? I like the life I have now,” Jin Liuying interjected.
Her attitude reassured Gu Youyou. After resting enough, the three picked up their baskets and headed towards the village.
Searcy took out a bell and shook it lightly. The bell produced a tinkling sound, and before long, curious people came out from the houses.
Seeing three unfamiliar women, they looked puzzled, not understanding why these strangers were ringing a bell.
Gu Youyou stepped forward and said to the nearest elderly man, “Sir, we are traveling doctors treating people. If anyone in your home is sick, we can treat them for free.”
