Chapter 392: 392 must be won over with money, no matter the cost Chapter 392: 392 must be won over with money, no matter the cost The old doctor was surprised that Ye Jiu could pose such a question, “Does the young master mean to break his leg again and then reset it to heal properly?”
Ye Jiu nodded, “Yes, exactly like that.”
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Ye Gaosheng’s forehead, the pain of having his leg broken still lingered in his mind.
The thought of breaking his leg again made him shiver uncontrollably.
However, Ye Gaosheng soon became determined again.
If it meant that his leg could be restored to normal, he was willing to endure the pain of a broken leg once more rather than the current situation where he needed support to walk because of his crooked leg.
Moreover, when it rained or on gloomy days, the pain emerging from the crevices in his bones was not any less intense than when he originally broke his leg.
After much contemplation, the old doctor finally replied, “The method mentioned by the young master is not entirely unfeasible, however, due to my limited ability and advanced age, I truly cannot accomplish it.
If the young master truly possesses the ability, I suggest that breaking the leg again should be done by someone knowledgeable in martial arts, which could ensure better control to avoid secondary injuries.
Moreover, the injury to this gentleman’s leg has nearly healed; breaking it again will inevitably cause more severe damage, so in terms of medicine, the cost is likely to be quite substantial.”
“Then may I ask, does the elder have any recommendations for doctors who are adept at this?” Ye Jiu asked once more.
“The best doctors in the world all gather at the Imperial Medical Bureau. If the young master has connections, it might be possible to seek help from there. Otherwise, it is said that outside Fengyang City resides Divine Doctor Qing Li, who is highly skilled but seldom enters the secular world, and might not be easy to find,” the old doctor shook his head, not very optimistic about this.
The Imperial Medical Bureau is a place for the Imperial Family’s exclusive medical treatments–the common ministers cannot gain access without the Emperor’s permission, let alone these gentlemen who appear to be merely modestly wealthy at best.
As for the renowned Divine Doctor Qing Li, setting aside the issue of whether one can actually find this person, even if one does, there is no guarantee that they would agree to provide treatment. A hermit of such caliber is not as easily persuaded as common folk doctors!
Having asked all that he could, Ye Jiu clasped his fists in gratitude, “Thank you for making the journey, My Elder Brother has suffered greatly recently, please help him with his recovery.”
“It’s not a big problem. I will prescribe some medicines and you should just pay attention to the diet. He’s a young lad; he will recover quickly,” the old doctor said as he walked over to a nearby table and began to write out the prescription.
While Ye Wenzheng followed the old doctor to get the medicine, Ye Gaosheng spoke up, “Sister, there’s no need to exhaust yourself. I have come to terms with it, as long as you are well, that’s all that matters!”
Ye Gaosheng’s words were defeatist, but Ye Jiu could not afford to be discouraged. Instead, she assured him, “Brother, once Wenzheng returns, obediently take your medicine. I will definitely make sure your leg heals. What are Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau, anyway? Even if it takes money, I can outspend them to get their service!”
Ye Jiu’s words were somewhat overconfident. Even if she truly wanted to use money, she would still need the means to do so.
However, Ye Jiu now had to place her hopes on Sikong Mo.
She hoped he would help her; after all, as the prestigious War King, getting an Imperial Physician to see to an illness should not be too difficult for him.
Ye Gaosheng opened his mouth to speak, but seeing Ye Jiu’s resolute gaze, he eventually gave up on saying anything more disheartening.
