Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1030: Chapter 941: Official of the First Rank (2)

After all, the current times are hard. When villagers fall ill, even if they want to pay more for treatment, they lack the means. Murong Ting is not the kind of person who would resort to extorting money, so the Murong family barely gets by, avoiding starvation, but as for being well-fed, that is out of the question. Meat is something they barely see throughout the year.

Murong Shuangshuang’s family had many medical books. It is said that during their escape, they lost everything except these books. Murong Ting and his wife, She Yuexin, carried them all the way to Yu Family Village, unwilling to sell them even at the point of starvation to exchange for money.

Much of Murong Ting’s medical skills were learned from these books. Later, when Murong Shuangshuang fell in love with Luo Yunchuan and wanted to help him but did not know how, she thought of these medical books.

Murong Shuangshuang thought she could become an army medic, assisting Luo Yunchuan by treating his wounded soldiers and reducing their casualties. This was the only way she could think of to help Luo Yunchuan.

To this end, Murong Shuangshuang studied the medical books diligently for several years, finally earning the title of a renowned doctor, allowing her, as a woman, to enter the military camp and become a medic.

Perhaps because her mind was so occupied with Luo Yunchuan, even though Murong Shuangshuang saved many lives as a medic, her skills remained stagnant and did not advance further. Nonetheless, Murong Shuangshuang’s medical abilities were profound, earning her the title of Divine Doctor by many.

Originally, Murong Shuangshuang intended to quietly harbor her love for Luo Yunchuan for a lifetime. However, when Fang Keixin became the Empress, Murong Shuangshuang, heartbroken, prepared to leave the Capital City to travel the world and focus on enhancing her medical skills. Suddenly, rumors spread that the Divine Doctor Murong Shuangshuang’s medical skills were overhyped and unworthy.

It was said that the battlefield emergency procedures for handling trauma and wound disinfection that Divine Doctor Murong Shuangshuang was known for, which prevented soldiers from dying from infections, were actually taught to her by Empress Fang Keixin. Yet Murong Shuangshuang claimed the credit, never mentioning the contributions of the Empress, marking her as a vile character undeserving of the title Divine Doctor.

Upon hearing this news, Murong Shuangshuang was so enraged that she nearly spat blood. Although Fang Keixin had proposed handling wounds with surgery, ancient renowned doctors had long understood surgical treatments for injuries. Murong Shuangshuang had consulted countless ancient texts, painstakingly researching for a long time before mastering precise surgical techniques.

Moreover, alcohol disinfection, while effective, had significant drawbacks—one being the difficulty of purifying alcohol, and another, the excessive consumption of grains. Even though there was an increase in grain production thanks to Fang Keixin’s discoveries, the constant wars made it hard to farm in peace. Grain supplies remained scarce, leaving little to spare for brewing alcohol.

Furthermore, although alcohol disinfection could reduce the infection rate as Fang Keixin suggested, wounds would still fester. Murong Shuangshuang, after much painstaking research, formulated a herbal wound cleansing solution to be used alongside alcohol, effectively resolving the issue of inevitable infection and pus formation. Hence, while Fang Keixin offered many suggestions, they were merely that—suggestions.

The effort Murong Shuangshuang expended was incomparable to a simple statement from Fang Keixin. However, what chilled Murong Shuangshuang’s heart was that after the incident exploded, many people she had treated believed her to be of poor character, openly accusing her of stealing the Empress’s honors.

Murong Shuangshuang could not defend herself and couldn’t understand why those she had saved turned against her. Although many soldiers she treated spoke up in her defense, they were just ordinary soldiers, their voices insignificant and ignored.

Ultimately, Murong Shuangshuang’s reputation was ruined, and what broke her heart the most was that Luo Yunchuan, whom she adored, also looked at her with disgust, accusing her of betraying Fang Keixin, who had always considered her a friend.

Luo Yunchuan’s reproach left Murong Shuangshuang in despair. In her darkest moment, she finally learned that it was Fang Keixin who orchestrated it all from the shadows, all because Fang Keixin was displeased with Murong Shuangshuang’s secret crush on Luo Yunchuan.

Murong Shuangshuang had always hidden her feelings for Luo Yunchuan well. She didn’t approach him, talk to him, or try to win his favor. She merely helped him quietly with her abilities, never intending to get close to him. Murong Shuangshuang didn’t expect that even so, Fang Keixin would discover her secret affection.

Finally, Murong Shuangshuang died young from depression, but in her final moments, she saw through her emotional entanglement, letting go of her unrequited love for Luo Yunchuan. In the end, her obsession in life wasn’t the Luo Yunchuan she once adored, but rather the unfulfilled desire to travel the world, heal the common people, and enhance her medical skills.

Although not satisfied with Murong Shuangshuang’s infatuation with Luo Yunchuan, at the last critical juncture, Murong Shuangshuang awakened, letting go of her secret love for Luo Yunchuan, which still gave her some satisfaction.

As for Fang Keixin, she was merely a transmigrator. Now, Murong Shuangshuang was no longer the naive aborigine she once was; with her knowledge base, dealing with Fang Keixin would not be difficult.

In terms of medical skills, Murong Shuangshuang had the medical knowledge memories from Nangong Shuangshuang, coupled with her original medical foundation. Fulfilling Murong Shuangshuang’s obsession to become the true Divine Doctor was not challenging.

Murong Shuangshuang arrived at a particularly opportune moment, coinciding with Fang Keixin’s transmigration. Murong Shuangshuang’s father, Murong Ting, had always wanted his only daughter to learn medicine with him, hence opposing Murong Shuangshuang from running off to play recklessly with Fang Sanya.

Therefore, when Murong Shuangshuang played with Fang Sanya, it was mostly in secret, so the adults were unaware of their friendship. Since Fang Keixin herself had no memories, it provided an opportunity to distance herself from a relationship with Fang Keixin.

If Murong Shuangshuang had arrived a couple of days later, it would have been too late. By then, Fang Keixin would have recovered from a high fever and learned of her friendship with Murong Shuangshuang.

Because Murong Shuangshuang was one of the few clean and smart children in the village, as soon as Fang Keixin woke up, she treated Murong Shuangshuang as her lackey maid, barking out orders every day. Though Murong Shuangshuang was intelligent, she was only seven years old at the time, and no match for the outwardly seven-year-old but inwardly adult Fang Keixin.

Later, Murong Shuangshuang distanced herself from Fang Keixin, not only because of her secret love for Luo Yunchuan, making her fear making mistakes and deliberately keeping her distance, but also because she realized Fang Keixin’s attitude toward her was not one of friendship, but rather that of a maid.
