Chapter 156 uses a queuing system for medical consultations.
The divine physician Dan took the water cup, disregarding his image, tilted his head back and gulped it down, making a "glug glug" sound. In the blink of an eye, the water in the cup was gone.
After calming her breathing a little, Doctor Dan took a deep breath and said, "Phew... Little Doctor Wanqing, I have two pieces of news to tell you, one is good news and the other is bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"
Without hesitation, Dongfang Wan'er replied, "Then I'll listen to everything!"
The divine physician Dan nodded and continued, "Let me tell you the good news first. Ever since they learned that you would be going to practice medicine, everyone has been overjoyed! They have high expectations and great trust in you, this young and promising divine physician."
Hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er slightly raised her head and looked at Doctor Dan, a hint of relief in her eyes.
However, Dr. Dan then changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat heavy: "But, well, bad news has followed. Because everyone is eager to receive your treatment, they have all expressed their inability to accept your restriction of only seeing three patients. Now, your reputation has spread far and wide, even surpassing mine! Look at this situation..." As he spoke, Dr. Dan helplessly spread his hands.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling quite helpless.
After a moment's thought, she spoke, "In that case, let's make some adjustments. From today onwards, I will only see patients for one hour each day. Those who wish to see me must arrive at the clinic in advance to queue and obtain a number; only 20 numbers will be issued each day. In addition, I need to rest for two days every five days. If a patient requires surgery or other special circumstances, then those who have queued that day will have to postpone their appointment by one day... Hmm, let's start arranging the queue today; I'll come back tomorrow." With that, Dongfang Wan'er sighed softly.
Upon hearing this, the divine physician Dan couldn't help but beam with joy: "Brilliant! This plan is ingenious. In this way, those who come to queue will have to pay five coins to enter, which will effectively prevent some people with only minor ailments from taking the opportunity to join the fun and disrupt the order, thereby ensuring that those who really need treatment can receive timely medical care!"
After listening, Dongfang Wan'er nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "This is feasible!"
"In that case, let's proceed as Little Divine Physician Wanqing wishes. Little Divine Physician, you can rest assured that you will not be shortchanged in terms of reward. For every patient you successfully cure, you will receive a corresponding reward, which will be split 50/50 with you!" Divine Physician Dan said earnestly.
However, Dongfang Wan'er shook her head repeatedly and refused, saying, "There's no need for that. A 30/70 split is fine. After all, I only offered a little help and examined the patient's condition, and all the necessary medicines and supplies were provided by you all. It's really not appropriate to split the reward equally."
The Divine Physician Dan greatly admired Dongfang Wan'er's humble demeanor, secretly marveling to himself: She truly is someone Ye Jiuchen values! Truly extraordinary!
"Very well, let the young and skilled physician Wanqing decide everything!"
"Very well, Divine Physician Dan, then I shall take my leave!"
"Alright, alright! I won't see you off any further; things are still in chaos ahead!"
"It's alright!" With that, Dongfang Wan'er turned and left, leaving behind a graceful and refined silhouette.
Dongfang Wan'er has left Jishi Tongrentang!
"Miss, where are we headed next? Should we go and visit the young master?" Qiuqin suggested softly.
Dongfang Wan'er frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's best not to disturb his martial arts practice. Let's go straight back to the mansion."
"Yes, ma'am!" Qiuqin replied, carefully helping Dongfang Wan'er board the magnificent carriage.
The wheels rolled forward and soon arrived at the Dongfang residence. However, despite chasing for a long time, Crown Prince Ye Jingchu was unable to spot the carriage carrying Dongfang Wan'er.
At this moment, a sense of doubt welled up in his heart, and he wondered to himself why he was waiting here so patiently.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is standing outside the mansion gate!" An Ye, with her sharp eyes, spotted Ye Jingchu standing in front of the mansion gate in the night.
"Miss... what should we do!" Qiuqin became anxious upon seeing this.
"Ignore it." Dongfang Wan'er's voice was cold and firm. She knew in her heart that she was just putting on a show, but she didn't expect Ye Jingchu to take it so seriously.
After saying that, Dongfang Wan'er got off the carriage without hesitation and walked gracefully toward the gate of the mansion.
At this moment, Ye Jingchu saw the person he had been longing for day and night slowly walking towards him, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on his handsome face.
"Wan'er, you...I..." Ye Jingchu suddenly became stammering and incoherent, as if he had a thousand thoughts in his heart that he wanted to express, but when the words came to his lips, he did not know how to start.
Standing before him was Dongfang Wan'er, whose expression was cold and indifferent. She simply uttered a casual, indifferent greeting.
“Your Highness!” Then he turned and walked into the mansion without hesitation, not even giving Ye Jingchu a second glance.
Watching Dongfang Wan'er's figure gradually recede into the distance until it disappeared from sight, Ye Jingchu couldn't help but murmur to himself, "Wan'er..."
At this moment, his feelings were incredibly complex, a mixture of guilt towards Dongfang Wan'er and a sense of loss at being neglected by her.
However, what he felt most strongly was a firm belief—no matter the cost, he had to ascend to the supreme throne, personally kill that despicable Ninth Prince, and win back his beloved Wan'er!
Meanwhile, Dongfang Wan'er had already returned to her own boudoir.
Recalling Ye Jingchu's disgusting face just now, she couldn't help but frown, feeling a sense of revulsion.
However, she quickly composed herself, because there was something crucial waiting for her to accomplish that night!
That was the Third Prince. At today's banquet, Dongfang Wan'er clearly saw that Ye Jingchu had extended invitations to everyone present, but he had never thought of inviting the Fourth Prince...
Thinking back on their past lives, the princes should have had a harmonious relationship, except for the third prince! His mother was a lowly palace maid who passed away after giving birth to him.
This is why the Third Prince was neglected and looked down upon from a young age, resulting in his extremely low status...
However, one should not underestimate him because of his circumstances. His cunning is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people…
Looking back on her past life, if it weren't for her own support, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and the Yuan family as a solid backing, Ye Jingchu would probably have been completely unable to contend with this unassuming third prince.
