The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1303 - 1383: Dentures

Dong Huiying’s purpose was quite clear.

Since arriving in the capital, she had only one goal — to enter the Imperial Palace, meet the Ninth Princess, avoid the Eighth Princess’s spies, and undo the curse Miao Qing placed on the Ninth Princess!

Huh? This seems like not one but four goals, right? Oh well, never mind, the first step is to enter the palace. The reason she came to the Prince Meng Mansion was to see if she could enter the Imperial Palace through Prince Meng.

But after staying in the mansion for a few days, she gradually discovered some things.

For example, the mansion kept many incompetent doctors. People like her and Imperial Doctor Li, who had real skills, were the minority; most were incompetent doctors who only knew a little about medical skills. This group of people ate and lived off the mansion without producing anything, and they were allowed to stay at the mansion because they used a few home remedies as a stepping stone.

It was these home remedies that turned those incompetent doctors into guest physicians of the mansion.

Dong Huiying was somewhat curious about Prince Meng, but she noticed that both the butler and Imperial Doctor Li were very loyal to Prince Meng. She didn’t dare ask too many questions to avoid arousing their suspicion and causing any unpleasantness.

She patiently waited until the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. That morning, Dong Huiying was holding a piece of white jade, patiently filing it. Since losing all her teeth and becoming a toothless old lady, she felt terribly sad. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Mainly because she could only eat liquid food; there were so many delicious things she couldn’t chew. Even to eat meat, she could only eat minced meat, or else just taste the flavor by licking some broth.

In short, she was utterly pitiful.

Thinking "live one day, count as one day, living one more day is a gain," she thought maybe tonight when she closed her eyes, tomorrow they might not open again, guaranteeing she’d die at any time. She felt it was necessary to cherish the little life she had left. Then, most importantly — she must improve her life!

First, to satisfy her appetite, this piece of white jade was large, and she planned to make dentures out of it!

She worked all day, and outside, it started snowing again, but the room had two charcoal braziers, so it was warm, not at all cold.

It was then that Imperial Doctor Li came running, braving the howling wind early in the morning, losing a shoe along the way.

Bursting through the door, he rushed in: "Elder Sister Huixin, come on, come on, the Prince is ill again, quickly follow me to have a look!!"

Dong Huiying, who was squatting on the ground working on her dentures: "Meow meow meow?"

Before she could react, she was yanked up by Imperial Doctor Li and hurriedly, gasping for air, rushed to the Prince’s residence.

The Prince’s residence was located in the main courtyard, called Mengzhu Garden.

Dong Huiying, with her old arms and legs, usually moved like an old turtle. Even more so now, being dragged by Imperial Doctor Li as if in a hundred-meter sprint through long corridors. She felt that if they kept running like this, she might meet her end before reaching Mengzhu Garden. So she promptly freed herself from Imperial Doctor Li: "No, I can’t go on. I need to rest. Let me catch my breath!"

She leaned on her knees, sweat streaming down her face, her body was exceedingly weak.

"Oh dear!!" Imperial Doctor Li stomped anxiously, then an idea flashed in his mind, "You two, quickly pick up Huixin and follow me!"

He called over two servant girls. Surprisingly, they obediently listened. One of them slipped her arms under Dong Huiying’s armpits, holding her upper body, while the other grabbed her legs, and they dashed off with Imperial Doctor Li toward Mengzhu Garden.
