Chapter 315: Chapter 315 Turn Away Chapter 315: Chapter 315 Turn Away Zeng Yulang did not speak; he only nodded.
In his heart, he found it hard to believe that such a little girl, who looked so young, could help remove scars that many physicians failed to treat. It seemed to him like a complete fairy tale.
“By the way, where do they usually post the Imperial edict?” Lin Caisang asked once more.
She did not know where she ought to go to check the Imperial edict about the Elder Princess’s treatment. Given that there was a convenient person here to ask, why not just ask?
“At the entrance of the Imperial Palace. It’s quite a long way from here. You need to turn right after leaving here, and then…” Old Man Zeng, completely engrossed in the scar-removing ointment that he had in his hands, thought nothing about why Lin Caisang was asking about the Imperial edict. He simply pointed out the way for her.
It was only when Lin Caisang thanked them and was about to leave, that he came to his senses.
“What does this female physician want with the Imperial edict? Could it be that…”
The possibility crossing his mind made his eyes gleam, and he gripped the medicine box tighter in disbelief, looking at his son.
“Yulang, the lady doctor didn’t come looking for the Imperial edict, did she? Has she come to treat the Elder Princess?”
If that were true, then they had stumbled upon a treasure. Anyone who had the ability to vie for the Imperial edict, even if they were unable to cure the Elder Princess in the end, would have impressive medical skills.
It was just a pity that those physicians, each full of pride, would never stoop so low as to treat someone from their humble household. They wouldn’t even approach them if they were beseeched.
“The Elder Princess’s illness, it’s hard to treat, isn’t it?” asked Zeng Yulang in a low voice, wringing his brows.
If it were easy to treat, the imperial edict wouldn’t have been posted and torn down so many times. It had repeated countless times, yet who had been able to genuinely treat the Elder Princess?
Such a young woman dares to vie for the Imperial edict to treat the Elder Princess’s illness, she truly has nerve.
“Never mind others, Yulang, hurry up and try this scar-removing ointment. Maybe it’s actually effective.” Old Man Zeng had no interest in anyone else, merely eager to see the effect of this ointment.
If the effect is good, he must prepare the money.
Zeng Yulang also nodded, took the medicine box in his hands, and turned to go back to his room.
Thanks to Old Man Zeng’s directions, Lin Caisang quickly arrived at the outer Imperial Palace, where she saw the Imperial edict guarded by two soldiers, as well as several grey-haired physicians hesitating whether to accept the challenge.
Lin Caisang gave a light cough, straightened her clothes, then leisurely walked over.
Upon seeing a young girl approaching, the doctors uniformly focused on her, even the guards at the Imperial edict turned their attention to her.
“Little girl, this is not a place for youngsters to play. Run along now.” A kind-hearted physician said to Lin Caisang.
Behind the Palace, even if it’s not inside the palace itself, heads could roll at any moment. How had this young girl dared to come to this place?
And looking at this girl’s attire, she did not seem like someone from Jian’an. Could it be that she was visiting Jian’an for the first time and had run here out of curiosity against the wishes of her family?
Lin Caisang glanced at him, “Kind sir, I came here on business.”
The old physician was taken aback by what she said, not quite understanding its meaning.
He was about to persuade her a few more words, but upon laying eyes on Lin Caisang’s next actions, words failed to leave his mouth.
