Chapter 477: Chapter 477: What Are You Doing If You’ve Eaten Enough? Chapter 477: Chapter 477: What Are You Doing If You’ve Eaten Enough? “General, why don’t you go to the palace and ask for emperor’s permission? As long as he commands, will the young physician lady not comply? If she is assigned as our household doctor, she has to obey the orders.”
Zhi Lingyang heard her words and reprimanded sharply.
“Lele, when are you going to stop this nonsense? Do you think I, as a general, have such high status that I can ask the emperor to give this command?”
“You are the general who has been serving the court for many years. Won’t the emperor do you this small favor?” Jin Lele was first startled by his shout but soon retorted unconvinced.
Zhi Lingyang was truly infuriated by her words.
“General, Lele is ignorant, please do not take her seriously.”
Jin An’an noticed that Zhi Lingyang was truly angry, so she quickly tried to calm the situation, then turned to look at Jin Lele.
“Lele, that young physician lady possesses excellent medical skills and has even cured the Elder Princess. In the emperor’s eyes, her status has eclipsed many. Do you think she is like any random physician we can invite to treat illnesses? This time, her willingness to come to our mansion and treat me is granting us face, not to curry favour with us. You must understand this clearly.”
Jin Lele blinked her eyes.
“Just a girl. How capable can she be?”
Jin An’an frowned, her face even more terrifying as she glared at Jin Lele.
“The fact that so many people come to her for treatment is proof of her capability. Do you really think those people who wait outside the Zeng family’s door like us are really only there to ask for a box of medicine? Do you know why the Elder Princess drove you away from her mansion?”
“Why?” Jin Lele asked, murmuring.
“The Elder Princess did not want to be used by others. In reality, those people were not there for the medicine; they wanted to recruit the young lady physician,” Jin An’an explained.
“And the Elder Princess understood that the emperor also appreciated her medical talents and wanted to recruit her. Therefore, she didn’t want to see the physician lady being recruited by anyone, and ordered you all to be driven away.”
“The emperor wants to recruit her too?” Jin Lele was stunned.
“But she hasn’t entered the palace. Sister, are you mistaken?”
“That must be because the young physician lady was unwilling. She must have declined the emperor’s recruitment,” Zhi Lingyang spoke up.
Jin Lele was confused about why they were so certain.
“Could it not be that the emperor simply doesn’t want to recruit her? It’s not like she’s all that powerful.”
Zhi Lingyang was almost infuriated to death by Jin Lele.
If he didn’t know from the start that Jin Lele was such a brainless girl, he would have suspected her intent in saying these things.
“If the emperor didn’t want to recruit her, why would he go to such lengths to have the Eldest Prince buy three ten-thousand-acre estates at a high price from the other houses, for her to choose from? Do you think the emperor really has nothing better to do?”
Jin Lele suddenly seemed to understand.
It appeared that the young physician lady was indeed talented. She herself had not spent so much time waiting outside the Princess’s mansion for nothing.
If the physician had no abilities, why would she have waited?
“So… what to do now, General, sister, I realize my mistake. Can I apologize to the young physician lady?”
