457. Royal Clinic

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The next morning, it occurred to Long Xiaoyuan that he forgot to ask about his mother-in-law yesterday, as he was overwhelmed by the news of Emperor Zhou.

Therefore, he planned to go to the morning court later and wait for s.h.i.+ Qingzhou to wake up.

Although he was waiting, Long Xiaoyuan did something.

For example, kiss or something else.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was not dead, so Long Xiaoyuan’s movements quickly woke him up.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou opened his eyes and rolled his eyes.

“Why are you disturbing my sleep?”

Long Xiaoyuan kissed s.h.i.+ Qingzhou fiercely. “It doesn’t matter. Qingzhou, you can sleep on.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was frustrated. “Do you think I’m dead?”

Long Xiaoyuan laughed. “Qingzhou, how could I think that? I didn’t want to wake you up when I saw you were sleeping.”

“I can’t tell that you don’t want to disturb me.”

Long Xiaoyuan giggled foolishly.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said helplessly, “Why don’t you go to the morning court?”

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. “I’ll go later. The problem with the Eastern Darkness was solved, but the ministers haven’t known about it yet. It’s good to make them nervous. Maybe they might use their heads and come up with some strategies.”

“Do you think they can come up with the strategies in such a short time?” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou thought it was not realistic.

“No.” Long Xiaoyuan smiled and revealed his white teeth.

“I’m not going to announce anything about the Eastern Darkness today.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou paused. He suddenly felt sad for Long Xiaoyuan’s ministers.

“Qingzhou, I’m doing it for their good. Although we might have a peaceful period soon, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace, right?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded. “Indeed.”

“Therefore, we don’t have to tell them everything. For example, we don’t need to announce our relations.h.i.+p with Fang Shuoyang, right?”

“Yes.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou nodded.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Qingzhou, do you agree to anything I do?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou glanced at him and said lightly, “Only when you make sense.”

Long Xiaoyuan’s eyes lit up. “What if I don’t make any sense? Do you still agree with me?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou rolled his eyes. “What? You want to be a fatuous emperor again?”

Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin, “A fatuous emperor? Do you want to say that I used to be a fatuous emperor?”

“Yes, you were.” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said lightly.

Long Xiaoyuan said sadly. “Qingzhou, how can you say that?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou lazily got up from the bed.

“I’m getting get up now. You stay in bed for a while?”

“No.” Long Xiaoyuan also got up. “Qingzhou, I go with you.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou had an impa.s.sive look on his face, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Half a month later, a clinic quietly opened in the Imperial City.

The clinic was located in the center of the Imperial City’s East Street, which was costly.

The clinic was not small, and it had two floors.

People were amazed by its size.

They guessed it was a large clinic.

There might be several doctors inside.

However, on the day of the opening, everyone was dumbfounded.

The signboard was covered by a red cloth, which remained there.

There were no firecrackers.

No one came out to say anything.

After a long time, the red cloth was finally removed.

On the signboard, there were two golden words.

Royal Clinic!

Royal. This clinic was connected with the royal family!

A person finally emerged from the hospital.

It was a man.

He was young with oppressing air. He looked like a guard.

The guard said, “Those who want to see the doctor here have to line up here. When this clinic is open, three people will be treated for free during the day.

The clinic will only treat ten people one day. The remaining seven people will have to pay one thousand for the treatment. The eleventh person would not be treated. Please seize the opportunity.”

His words caused a commotion in the crowd.

“What? Did I hear it wrong?”

“No. You heard it right.”

“It treats ten people in total. Three patients will be chosen to enjoy free treatments, while the rest has to pay a thousand each.”

“I heard that as well.”

“What kind of clinic is this?”

“It’s absurd!”

There were murmurs from the crowd.

The people were surprised at the announcement of the clinic.

However, people coveted small advantages wanted to try their luck when they heard that three of the ten patients could be treated for free. As for the treatments that cost a thousand?

They were not that wealthy and naïve.

Besides, only wealthy people could afford that. Commoners shouldn’t dream of it.

The news spread fast. After half an hour, there were a lot of people lining up.

And there were countless fun watchers.

The clinic was in the center of the city, and it had announced such special rules, so it attracted a sea of people.

At this moment, in the private room on the second floor of the clinic.

Liu Suifeng, Ouyang Chuan, Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou were sipping tea.

Today, Liu Suifeng’s clinic opened, so Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou came out early to show their support.

Long Xiaoyuan was speechless when he heard the rules announced by the guard outside.

He almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

“Why are you opening this clinic?” Long Xiaoyuan said.

This was the question puzzled the people outside.

Liu Suifeng said indifferently, “What’s wrong?”

Long Xiaoyuan was speechless.

Liu Suifeng said, “It is for fun. If they don’t want me to treat them, they shouldn’t come. I haven’t told you that I plan to open three to five days in a month.”

Long Xiaoyuan was completely speechless.

“Why is it called Royal Clinic?”

Long Xiaoyuan finally asked.

He didn’t give the name, Liu Suifeng did it.

“I considered the name of ‘the best clinic’ to show my medical skills are the best in the world, but I guess that will cause a lot of doctors to come and challenge me. You know that I don’t like troubles. Royal Clinic is great, as no one will come to find trouble!”

His explanation silenced Long Xiaoyuan.

Ouyang Chuan said, “Let him have the fun.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou looked outside and said, “There are enough people outside. You can go choose three people to treat for free.”

“Okay. I’ll go out and take a look.” Liu Suifeng went out.

Long Xiaoyuan pulled s.h.i.+ Qingzhou up. “Qingzhou, let’s go watch the show.”

“Why do you have to go out?” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou said indifferently, “Just stay here. We can see it clearly.”

“Alright.” Long Xiaoyuan had no objections, and he looked out of the window.

They saw Liu Suifeng go outside and fly around above the heads of everyone with lightness techniques. After that, he picked up three people to the clinic.

He finished the movements in an instant.

By the time everyone realized what had happened, Liu Suifeng had already made his choice!

Long Xiaoyuan was shocked.

“Did he pick them randomly?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou paused and said. “I don’t think so.”

“No?” Long Xiaoyuan looked at s.h.i.+ Qingzhou. “How did he choose?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou shrugged. “I don’t know. You have to ask him.”

Long Xiaoyuan took s.h.i.+ Qingzhou downstairs.

When they got downstairs, Liu Suifeng was already treating the three people.

The crowd was stopped by the guard at the entrance.

Long Xiaoyuan and s.h.i.+ Qingzhou went over while Liu Suifeng was making prescriptions.

“Boil three bowls of water into one bowl. Take it three times a day after each meal for three consecutive days. Long Si, fill the prescription.”

Long Xiaoyuan realized there was someone else on the first floor.

Liu Suifeng tossed the prescription over and Long Si went to fill the prescription.

Long Xiaoyuan said in surprise, “Long Si…”

“He’s a Shadow Guardian, who comes here to learn medical skills and help Liu Suifeng.”

Long Xiaoyuan was lost for words.

Why didn’t he know about these things?

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled as if he knew what Long Xiaoyuan was thinking. “I made this arrangement.”

Long Xiaoyuan rubbed his nose. He could say nothing about this.

Meanwhile, Liu Suifeng quickly treated the other two patients.

After that, he said, “There are seven more spots.”

The guard at the door shouted.

“There are seven more spots today. The time limit is one quarter. After the quarter, we will not wait.”

Long Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s rare to see such an arrogant doctor. Qingzhou, will anyone come for his treatment?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou didn’t answer.

Because there was no need to answer.

Countless rich men fought to get inside.

Long Xiaoyuan’s mouth twitched. “Are there so many sick people? Are they crazy?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled without saying a word.

Long Xiaoyuan was puzzled. “Is it because of Liu Suifeng’s reputation?”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou laughed. “You’ve underestimated the merchants in the Imperial City.”

“What do you mean?” Long Xiaoyuan was confused.

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou smiled and said, “They come for the name of ‘royal’. Rich people don’t mind spending the money to get connected with the royal family. If they succeed, it would definitely be worth it. As for whether these people are really sick or not, I don’t know.”

It dawned on Long Xiaoyuan, who patted his forehead.

“I see…”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou was right.

The rich people came to probe the royal clinic.

No one believed that such an arrogant clinic was not supported by the royal family.

Anyway, these rich people didn’t believe it, so they felt it worthwhile to spend the money to figure it out.

To their surprise, the doctor had not only weird rules but also weird ways.

For those who were not sick, he collected the money and threw them out.

Yes, that was right. He just threw them out!

For those who were sick, the weird doctor collected the money and made quick prescription. After he gave the instructions, he asked the patient out.

If anyone came to probe for the information of the clinic and the royal family.

He would end up the same as those who were not sick!

Among them, a Mr. w.a.n.g had the luck to see the doctor.

He had suffered rheumatism.

He had seen a lot of doctors, but none of them could cure him.

Of course, this was not the only reason he came.

To his surprise, the doctor said.

“It takes three courses of treatment to cure your rheumatism. Each course takes seven days. I can treat you, but each course costs seven thousand. After the whole treatment, you have to pay another ten thousand. Think it over.”

Mr. w.a.n.g gasped.

Ten thousand, plus three courses of treatment sessions, each of which cost seven thousand.

Mr. w.a.n.g had been suffering from the pain of rheumatism, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

He thought that even if the doctor couldn’t cure him, it would be worthwhile if he knew the connection between the clinic and the royal family during the treatment process. He might benefit from it.

Any business with connection to the royal family would be profitable.

Therefore, Mr. w.a.n.g thought for a moment and agreed.

Liu Suifeng said, “Alright, I’ll give you an acupuncture treatment today. Come back tomorrow night.”

Liu Suifeng led him to the back hall and drew down the curtain.

There were another three rich people waiting here.

They had thought they would have to wait for a long time, and they were about to talk to Long Si.

Suddenly Liu Suifeng opened the curtain and came out, followed by Mr. w.a.n.g.

Mr. w.a.n.g was dazed, one of his pants rolled up.

They didn’t know what had happened to him.

“Next,” Liu Suifeng said directly.

Long Si took Mr. w.a.n.g out.

Liu Suifeng didn’t spend much time dealing with the remaining three rich men.

After that, the guards outside closed the door.
