Gu Yundong wanted to bring Madam Yang to see a doctor.

In the past, when she was in the Gu family, Gu Dajiang had brought her to the county capital. Unfortunately, at that time, the money was in the hands of Madam Zhao. Gu Dajiang had limited savings, so he naturally did not see many doctors.

Just like that, every time Mrs. Zhao saw them go out, she would cause a scene.

Gu Yundong had also asked around a few days ago. There were many medical centers in Xuanhe Prefecture, the largest of which was Huimin Medical Center in the south of the city. There was a doctor with the surname He who had once cured two patients like her mother.

Doctor He had gone on a long trip to see a patient some time ago and had only returned yesterday.

Gu Yundong only brought Madam Yang over. Doctor He’s medical skills were high, so his status in the medical hall was naturally not low. Hence, the price of consultation was also expensive.

When Gu Yundong went over, there were still three patients in front of her. She waited for nearly an hour before it was her turn.

Madam Yang was a little nervous. She grabbed Gu Yundong’s hand tightly. “Dongdong…”

“Mother, let the doctor examine your pulse first. Don’t worry, it’s fine. I’m here.”

Doctor He, on the other hand, had a benevolent look on his face. He asked a few questions before extending his hand. He closed his eyes slightly and carefully checked her pulse.

However, the more time passed, the more he frowned. Gu Yundong gradually had a very bad feeling.

When Doctor He retracted his hand, Gu Yundong hurriedly asked, “How’s my mother?”

Doctor He did not reply. He only stood up and walked behind Madam Yang to look at the back of her head.

Madam Yang immediately became nervous. Gu Yundong hurriedly patted her hand to comfort her.

Doctor He stared at her carefully for a long time before sitting back down. However, his expression was not good. He asked Gu Yundong, “Did the other doctors give her acupuncture before?”

Actually, every time she went to the clinic, it was Gu Dajiang who brought her there. Gu Yundong did not follow.

However, she really knew that there was acupuncture or not.

“Yes, they did. When I was in Yongning Prefecture, a doctor took a look at my mother. At that time, he inserted a few needles and said that they could dispel the clotted blood. However, after the acupuncture, my mother fainted for a day. The doctor said that this was a normal phenomenon. If we went to his place a few more times, the clotted blood would slowly dissipate. However, after Yongning Prefecture fell into chaos, my parents didn’t go there again.”

“Nonsense! Quack!” Doctor He cursed angrily. Madam Yang was so frightened that she turned her head and hugged Gu Yundong, closing her eyes tightly.

Doctor He took two deep breaths. His tone was still hard. “The human brain is the most complicated. How can you randomly inject needles when you’re not confident that you can treat it? Dispel the clotted blood. You’re simply a quack.”

Gu Yundong’s expression turned solemn. “Doctor He means that my mother…”

“Sigh, if it was before, 1 was still confident that 1 could cure her. Now that she has been treated by that quack, I’m only 30% confident. If there’s an accident, it might backfire and I won’t even be able to save her life.” Doctor He waved his hand. “It’s better to maintain the current situation. At least she’s alive.”

“Is there no other way?”

Doctor He shook his head and paused for a moment. As if he had thought of something, he said, “There’s someone who might be able to treat her.”

Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up. “Who?”

“Imperial Physician Song, he came from the Imperial Hospital. I’ve been taught by him many times before. It’s a pity that he’s gone traveling now. I don’t know when he’ll return.”

As long as there was hope.

Gu Yundong immediately said, “Then can 1 trouble Doctor He? When Imperial Physician Song comes back, get someone to send a message to Fish Rice Alley.”

With that, she took out five taels of silver and handed it over..
