The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 670: A Bunch of Good-for-Nothings

The effect of the anesthetic was indeed immediate, but it was only temporary.

The Emperor rubbed his temples, "My head doesn’t hurt anymore."

He looked at Yun Jiao with satisfaction, "Doctor Gu truly possesses divine skills!"

Yun Jiao hadn’t even had the chance to be modest when the Emperor turned to the several Imperial Physicians kneeling on the ground and said, "A bunch of good-for-nothings! You can’t even treat a minor tooth problem!"

"All you old fellows with white hair and beards combined are not as good as a young girl! Don’t you feel ashamed?"

The Imperial Physicians kneeling on the ground dared not make a sound.

Empress Zheng gently said, "Tooth problems are inherently difficult to treat; it’s not entirely their fault."

The Emperor snorted, impatiently waving his hand, and the Imperial Physicians on the ground got up and withdrew.

Not far from the palace chamber, an Imperial Physician named Wu said, "Earlier, I prescribed a decoction for the Emperor, and just now the tooth stopped aching. Clearly, it was my decoction that worked, yet it’s that little girl who gets the credit."

Most of the Imperial Physicians remained silent. Some felt what he said made sense, while others, disagreeing in their hearts, did not refute it.

Only a younger Imperial Physician couldn’t help but say, "Princess Changle’s eyes were cured by this Doctor Gu, and everyone should know what condition the Princess Consort’s eyes were in."

Having said this, he didn’t add anything else.

But everyone understood his meaning: Doctor Gu truly had exceptional medical skills and wasn’t just taking someone else’s credit.

Doctor Wu was very displeased but could not refute it.

At this moment, someone asked with interest, "Where did Doctor Gu, so young, learn such medical skills?"

The young Imperial Physician shook his head, "I don’t know. However, last time when she performed surgery on the Princess Consort, I watched by the side. In summary, I’ve never seen or heard of anyone with such miraculous medical skills."

Wang Yuanpan from the Imperial Medical Bureau said, "If that’s the case, why not recruit her into the Imperial Medical Bureau?"

The young man laughed, "I’m afraid that’s difficult. She is the future wife of the Duke and is not short of silver. She probably wouldn’t want to take a minor official position."

Wang Yuanpan said to the young Imperial Physician, "We should at least give it a try; maybe she would be willing?"

Doctor Wu snorted, "No matter how good that girl is, she can’t beat us. We’re all part of a legacy, and she’s just a maverick, perhaps only capable of a couple of skills!"

Wang Yuanpan smiled, "Even if she only has a couple of skills, those skills are indeed better than ours."

The young Imperial Physician added, "This Doctor Gu doesn’t hold back at all. After the last surgery, she taught us the surgical method."

"A few days ago, I went to Minister Liu’s residence to see a patient. His father also has cataracts. I’ve already recommended Doctor Gu and plan to observe when she performs surgery next."

Wang Yuanpan quickly said, "Call me when you go, I’d like to see as well."

Everyone said they wanted to go, except Doctor Wu, who remained silent.

In the palace chamber, Yun Jiao instructed the Emperor’s personal eunuch on how to use the toothache powder and left behind the disinfectant solution.

Only then did she say to the Emperor, "Your toothache is only temporarily relieved. This medicine only lasts for about two hours. Afterward, if it hurts again, you must continue applying the medicine and take the decoction for two days."

"Moreover, this toothache will still recur in the future. To remove the problem at the root, the tooth needs to be extracted."

The Imperial Physicians had long suggested removing this decayed tooth, but the Emperor was afraid to do so. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He waved his hand, "Tooth extraction is a no-go; as long as it doesn’t hurt, it’s fine."

He said kindly to Yun Jiao, "Doctor Gu, you’ve worked hard. There will be a reward for you tomorrow."

Yun Jiao bowed and then withdrew.
