Chapter 612 The Oppressed Twin Brothers 8
Because of Yun Yi's previous hype, and the fact that there were patients recovering from his treatment every day during this period, his existence became more and more widely known.
In addition, it is rumored that he only goes out for two or three months every year. Under this kind of hunger marketing with limited time, people come to consult him almost at dawn.
There were even many who came from hundreds of miles away. For the patients who came to see the doctor, Yun Yi and the barefoot doctor in the village were busy from morning to night.
The barefoot doctor in the village is named Chen. He learned his medical skills from his father through word of mouth. Only recently, after following Yun Yi, he truly understood the mysteries of medical skills.
Doctor Chen was over forty years old. He wanted to become Yun Yi's disciple, but was rejected by Yun Yi.
He won't be here for long, so there's no need for him to accept an apprentice. As for how much Doctor Chen can learn from him, it all depends on his own abilities.
The villagers basically maintain a schedule of working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise, and most people go home to rest at sunset.
Just when Doctor Chen was about to go home, he suddenly saw a group of people holding lanterns coming to the outside of the thatched hut.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Doctor Chen asked.
These people are all strong and have serious faces. You can tell at a glance that they are not easy to mess with.
"The Queen Mother has ordered that Prince Xuan, the genius physician, should go to the palace to take care of the Queen Mother's health." The leading person said in a deep voice.
The surname Wang is a surname that Yun Yi randomly gave himself. In Ningguo, the number of people with the surname Wang is, if not the highest, then at least among the top five. It can be said to be the most common surname.
Doctor Chen had never left the Jiangnan area in his entire life. When he heard that it was the Empress Dowager's decree from the palace, he was so frightened that his eyes widened and he was speechless.
"The Empress Dowager's decree? How did she know me? Who are you? How can you prove that you are not falsely conveying the decree?" Yun Yi asked, standing in the yard with his arms folded across his chest.
Without waiting for the leading guard to speak, Ning Ruli walked out from behind the crowd and said, "This princess can prove that these people are not falsely conveying the imperial decree."
Ning Ruli looked at Yun Yi, pointed at the leader and said, "This is the deputy general of the Imperial Guards. Do you think what the princess said could be false?"
Ning Ruli's face was full of pride. Yesterday, Yun Yi rejected her invitation to enter the palace. Now that the empress dowager's decree has arrived, how can he refuse?
How could the man who asked for a thousand taels of gold from her be indifferent to fame and fortune?
"What the princess said is certainly true, but I just don't want to enter the palace." Yun Yi said directly.
Not only Ning Ruli, but even Doctor Chen was shocked when these words were spoken.
Let's not even talk about how much wealth and glory he could gain by going to the palace to treat the empress dowager. The empress dowager's decree has already come down. If he doesn't go, wouldn't that be disobeying the order?
"Doctor, are you trying to disobey my order?" Ning Ruli's voice gradually turned colder, but there was no anger on her face. Yun Yi's disobedience was a good excuse to punish him. "Do you know what the consequences of disobeying my order are?"
"I don't understand the affairs of the imperial palace, Princess, why don't you tell me about it."
Although these royal guards were not wearing uniform, they made quite a noise. The villagers who had originally been resting became noisy again because of their arrival.
In Ning Ruli's view, Yun Yi's words were a blatant provocation. Even a three-year-old child knew this, so how could he not know that disobeying an imperial order would result in beheading?
"Those who disobey the order will be beheaded in public." Ning Ruli said slowly, her eyes fixed on Yun Yi, watching his next reaction.
After these words were spoken, Doctor Chen and the surrounding villagers couldn't help but gasp.
Before the princess came, the highest official these villagers had ever seen was the county magistrate. The phrase "disobeying the order" had nothing to do with them.
Yun Yi has been in the village for less than a month, but his free medical treatment and rescue efforts have indeed benefited every villager, and naturally people have deep feelings for him.
"Doctor Wang, please don't disobey my order."
"You can't disobey the order, or these military officers will really arrest you."
Someone among the villagers shouted, and the others followed suit.
Yun Yi glanced at the villagers who were thinking of him and told him not to disobey the order, and then looked at the eldest princess Ning Ruli, who had a smug look on her face and was waiting to arrest him if he disobeyed the order.
"How about it, have you made up your mind?" Ning Ruli asked slowly, "Do you want to be tied up and brought to the capital, or take a carriage and have the Imperial Guards escort you to the capital?"
Yun Yi's lips moved slightly, revealing a smile, "Thank you, Princess, for thinking of me, but I won't choose any of them."
Sheng Tang, who had been in the crowd, saw this and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly stood up and said, "Mother, please don't force the doctor. If you persuade him kindly, he will definitely follow the imperial guards into the palace."
Do you have to make things so awkward?
We could have been peaceful and had the best of both worlds, so why did we have to suppress them into submission?
Is it really that refreshing to watch others crawling at your feet?
"Step back. You have no right to speak here." Ning Ruli pushed Sheng Tang towards the maid behind her.
If a small country bumpkin dares to disrespect her today, won’t a beggar dare to spit at her tomorrow?
So what if he is a miracle doctor praised by everyone?
Ning Ruli wants to let everyone know today that challenging the imperial power will not have good results.
Only by submitting to the imperial power and being loyal to the royal family can one have the possibility of being promoted, granted titles, and enjoying wealth and glory.
"Mother……"
"Princess, there is no need to say more. The princess has made up her mind and she will definitely not let me go today." Yun Yi said with a smile, while stepping back step by step.
Seeing that Yun Yi was about to retreat back into the house, Ning Ruli quickly ordered to prevent him from escaping: "Quick, catch him, don't let him..."
However, before Ning Ruli could finish her words, Yun Yi leaped back into the house and threw the fire stick in his hand, which had been lit at some point, forward.
The moment the fire starter fell to the ground, a raging fire suddenly broke out at the door.
The Royal Guards were frightened and retreated, but before they could react, there was a loud bang, and the whole thatched house was suddenly on fire. The fire broke through the roof and seemed to be rushing towards the sky.
"Someone, come and put out the fire."
"Go get some water and save the doctor."
The villagers were the first to react and rushed to put out the fire.
Suddenly, the village at night lost its original silence.
Sheng Tang stared at all this in a daze. The firelight shone on her face and she could feel the burning heat, but her whole body was cold.
Just at the moment the fire started, Yun Yi's voice reached my ears, deafening.
What he said was: Give me liberty or give me death.
Turning to look at her mother with a tense face, Doctor Wang lost his life in order not to enter the palace, so it seemed that her mother had won.
But did she really win?
One is free until death; the other is still alive but has long lost her soul. Facing a doctor who just cured her illness, she is still aggressive and drives the man to death without any gratitude. All she cares about is the dignity of the royal family and her dignity as the eldest princess.
