Chapter 614 - Setting up a clinic (2)

Chapter 614

(Unedited)

…

With trembling hands, the old woman looks at Shin Jiao with concern in her eyes. The expression of the young doctor made her feel that something is wrong with her body. However, she didn't want to trust yet. This is because the doctor is truly very young and for her doctors should be at least middle-aged which has already experienced a lot in life and also gained more experience and knowledge.

So her expression suddenly change and wanted to wave her hand.

However, Shin Jiao suddenly smile which made the old woman a bit stunned.

"Your cough is caused by an infection in your lungs. However, it seems that it was not treated early. So it now worsens… Hmm… this is a bit tricky. I can prescribe you some herbal concoction, but you must come back here after 3 days." Shin Jiao said as he began writing some prescriptions.

When the old woman saw that, she just sat there with a look of suspicion in her eyes. When he handed her the prescription she was once again stunned.

This is because what Shin Jiao wrote are just some common herbs and fruits, then there's hot tea. But of the ingredients, she didn't know.

"You need to drink more water. Plus, you have to get plenty of rest. Okay?"

Shin Jiao said while the old woman just looks at him without moving. Seeing her reaction Shin Jiao already knew what's going on in her mind.

"Mam, the prescription I gave you contains things your body needs to enhance your strength and fight the disease. Plus some of those are natural antibiotics. They would be able to at least chase away the infection in your lungs. After 3 days you should come back so that we can see the result." Shin Jiao explained.

Upon hearing this, the woman seems to have understood and shown a pleasant smile on her face. Although she was a bit suspicious this is the first time she can clearly understand what to do with the sickness that has been plaguing her for months now.

She drops two copper coins on the table, then bade farewell to Shin Jiao with a smile.

The old woman bought the medicine from the pharmacy next door and went home after.

Meanwhile, after that old woman, another patient came in and Shin Jiao's busy day started thus far.

For that day, there were no further problems as the patients he treated just have simple illnesses and were easy to cure. Later that day, Shin Jiao began closing while Sue Na walked up to the second floor where little Ping Du is staying along with a maidservant sent by the Ji clan.

The Ji clan has agreed to cooperate with Shin Jiao as they didn't have a choice. They didn't want to cause the downfall of their clan so they dare not anger this scary person. And so with that, they assigned a few maidservants, and this time they didn't play any tricks anymore.

As they walked out of the clinic, Shin Jiao immediately activate the array protection. He also taught Sue Na how to open and close the array, because he knew that this clinic would be left to her care in the future.

And so, four people walked down the busy road of the capital city towards the Ji manor.

As soon as they arrive by the gate, Shin Jiao suddenly saw a few familiar figures.

"Doctor Ji! I'm glad I was able to see you here today." Jie Ming said as he immediately greeted him.

Behind Jie Ming stood a few men wearing white robes which look like the uniform of the imperial physicians.

"Yeah, nice seeing you too… where's Brother Bai?" Shin Jiao greeted.

"Ah, that guy is stuck at the imperial clinic. We have a really busy schedule these past few weeks… Anyway, I'm here to ask you for help… We… we have encountered a very tricky situation." Jie Ming said while glancing at the middle-aged men behind him.

"You must be the famous young Doctor Ji… I am Doctor Shun Gu, and these are all my colleagues."

"Yes, nice to meet you, doctors…" Shin Jiao greeted calmly.

"We are here to require your services. It's a secret, so it is best that you follow us." the man said with a stern look.

Shin Jiao looks at the expression of those people and he can vaguely perceive what the problem they are facing is.

Since they are imperial physicians, then it is about the imperial family. It would be either the emperor or any one of the princes and princesses. If the problem is with the emperor then he would suffice. But if the problem includes the women in the palace, then…

Shin Jiao's gaze then shifted towards Sue Na.

Although she has been learning modern medicine just recently, her action and this morning show that she is already used to this kind of work. Hence it would not be so bad to make her follow him. Plus it would be a good experience for this new apprentice of his.

"Alright, but I need to take her with me." Shin Jiao said.

Upon hearing this, Sue Na felt a bit nervous and excited. But then she shifted her gaze to the little boy who is looking at her.

"Doctor Ji, this apprentice would not be able to follow you. I think I am not suited for that kind of place." She said humbly.

Shin Jiao already saw her action and just gave a faint smile.

"Sigh… Okay. I was just thinking that it would be a good experience for you. Anyway, there are still other opportunities. Don't wait for me…" Shin Jiao said as he walked near little Ping Ping ruffled the little guy's hair then patted his shoulder.

Shin Jiao got on a carriage and directly went to the palace.

Along the way, Doctor Shun Gu began explaining to Shin Jiao the situation through his inquiry. From what the middle-aged doctor is saying. It seems that one of the concubines of the 3rd prince is going to give birth.

The 3rd prince was the prince that Shin Jiao turned into waste and soon died on the way to the capital city. Before leaving, his favored concubine was already pregnant and is now in labor. However, due to some complications, the physicians are unable to do anything.

The emperor did not want this grandchild of his to die. This is because he truly regretted the death of his son the 3rd prince. And out of all the women in that household, this concubine is the only one who is going to have an heir from his son.

So the emperor did not want this grandchild of his to die just like that.

After the briefing, Shin Jiao almost wanted to laugh. He was the one responsible for killing the child's father, now he is going to save the child of that man. Well, he has no grudge against this little child, so he would just help them then. At least this way the imperial family could owe him twice now.

And so, he soon arrives in the palace and was directly sent towards the Red Jade palace where the late Prince Mingwa Dong once lived.

As he enters a particular room he could see some people with panic-stricken faces.

"We have arrived and called for Doctor Ji." Jie Ming said.

Shin Jiao observed the area and saw that the woman is just lying in bed while there is a lot of blood already on the sheet. His brows suddenly knitted and immediately walked to the woman's side.

Although he is not an expert when it comes to delivering a child, there are many in this place that could do such a thing. So he could just give them some assistance while preserving the life of the mother and child.

He touched the wrist of the pale looking woman and immediately scanned her body situation. Then he found out that the woman has already lost a huge amount of blood. Luckily he didn't arrive late. Hence he immediately uses his absolute sense. But this time, he didn't want to cause the woman some shock, hence with great concentration he carefully sent it to her w.o.m.b.

The woman can just feel a weird but cooling sensation. However, as of right now, she didn't care about anything as her mind is filled with the painful contraction of her stomach.

"The princess in her stomach is not in the right position. I will position her properly so you guys hold her still, okay?" Shin Jiao said as he extended his other hand to her stomach which made the people inside the room show a flabbergasted look on their faces.

In the empire, the contact between man and woman is a sensitive matter. Even doctors didn't have much contact with the imperial concubines and wives except for taking their pulse. And those who are assigned to deliver the child would always be some of the palace ladies.

However, today is a special case as the emperor seems desperate to ask the imperial physicians.

But what Shin Jiao did was a bit of a taboo. But no one stops him due to their shock.

Without a hitch, he easily aligned the child inside the woman's stomach.

"Alright, get ready…" Shin Jiao said which woke everyone up from their stupor.

After a couple of hours, the healthy cry of a newborn child was heard inside the room. The physicians have already walked out earlier and are now discussing what happened inside. However, no matter how they think about it, they could not determine what just happened. How could the baby inside the stomach be moved just like that with ease?

Of course, they never would have expected that Shin Jiao has used his controlled domain to do it.

As for Shin Jiao, he is already sitting on a chair inside the room while his eyes are closed. While using his domain, he suddenly felt something inside his mind. It was like something pop and the control of his domain suddenly became easier.

The reason why he is currently in a meditative position is that, due to that event, he could actually start to feel the elements in his surroundings, which is not supposed to be possible. And this only means one thing, and that is because he has reached the next level of his domain mastery, the elemental control domain.
