Chapter 227 - 228: Who Did You Learn From?

Chapter 227: Chapter 228: Who Did You Learn From?

Chu Nanli didn’t know what he was thinking; she quickly packed up her medicine box.

"Alright, you rest well, don’t expose yourself to the wind in the next few days, and don’t go out and infect others. Someone will bring you medicine later."

After saying that, Chu Nanli prepared to leave.

Ji Shen wanted to speak up to keep her and ask how she had treated him, but he was too embarrassed to speak up.

After all, he had just offended Chu Nanli.

Once he was better, he planned to go and formally apologize to Chu Nanli, hoping to ease their relationship and then consider asking Chu Nanli to accept him as her apprentice.

As Chu Nanli left the room, she almost bumped into Bai Wuheng who was coming her way.

"How did it go, did you cure him?" Bai Wuheng asked anxiously.

Chu Nanli couldn’t be bothered with him and gestured for him to go and see for himself.

Bai Wuheng hurriedly rushed into the room and grabbed Ji Shen’s wrist.

"Imperial Physician Bai, you can rest assured, I feel much better already. I owe my recovery to Miss Chu this time," Ji Shen said.

Bai Wuheng didn’t speak, carefully checking the pulse for a good while before saying, "Indeed, you have improved a lot, the pulse is almost stable."

At that moment, Bai Wuheng felt very conflicted.

He hadn’t expected Chu Nanli to actually cure the patient.

You should know, this is a terribly frightening ancient contagious disease—smallpox!

This disease has had no recorded cure to date.

He wanted to ask Chu Nanli what method she had used, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t bring himself to ask.

After all, the conflict between him and Chu Nanli ran deep.

She would not likely share her secret techniques with him.

"When did you learn to cure smallpox?" Ye Yunting stared at Chu Nanli and asked, his gaze intense.

Chu Nanli possessed such profound medical skills, yet he had not known.

Bai Wuheng perked up his ears upon hearing Ye Yunting’s question; he too wanted to know how Chu Nanli learned to treat smallpox.

Chu Nanli had long been aware that Ye Yunting might doubt the source of her medical skills, and she had already thought of an explanation.

"Before I married you, I studied medicine in my hometown," Chu Nanli replied indifferently.

This answer was neither detailed nor dismissive, but it clearly wasn’t what Ye Yunting wanted.

"Who taught you? Anyone capable of curing such a disease must be highly skilled," Ye Yunting continued.

He had almost met all the divine doctors in Xia Kingdom and neighboring countries, yet had heard of no one who could treat smallpox.

He was curious about who Chu Nanli’s master was, which expert it might be.

"Well, indeed the mastery is quite respectable, but my master is modest and does not wish us to mention her in front of outsiders," Chu Nanli considered her words carefully.

Ye Yunting’s expression darkened.

He felt that Chu Nanli was clearly unwilling to reveal it, using excuses.

This woman, hiding such significant matters from him.

A wave of indescribable anger rose in Ye Yunting’s heart.

Bai Wuheng, on the other hand, looked curious.

He almost knew all the senior figures in the medical field, so who exactly could treat smallpox?

"Alright, I need to leave, but I must remind you," Chu Nanli paused and said, "You’ve been in close contact with the patient just now; it’s best to isolate yourselves in this yard for five days and not go out."

"You may be carrying the smallpox virus; if you spread it, the capital will be in chaos," Chu Nanli said earnestly.

"Since it truly is smallpox, then we definitely won’t go out for now, to avoid infecting the common people," Bai Wuheng said.

As a physician, he somewhat understood the principles of contagious diseases and naturally knew Chu Nanli was right.

Even if the two did not get along, he could not ignore Chu Nanli’s advice at this time.

"Hmm," Ye Yunting nodded.

He was not someone who ignored the bigger picture, nor did he want to be the culprit.
