Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

These Imperial Physicians are indeed not mere vegetarians, especially this Doctor Zhao, who discussed the prescription with Ye Shuangshuang and surprisingly gave her great inspiration.

Originally, Ye Shuangshuang thought it would take at least three days to come up with a prescription to cure the epidemic. Unexpectedly, with Doctor Zhao’s help, Ye Shuangshuang managed to produce the prescription the next day.

After the prescription for treating the epidemic was devised, Doctor Zhao immediately organized people to concoct the medicine and gave it to the common people afflicted by the epidemic.

The prescription researched by Ye Shuangshuang this time was effective extremely swiftly, with two doses of medicine, the symptoms of these common people were relieved considerably.

The common people who recovered needed only four doses of medicine to be fully healed; those in weaker conditions required five to six doses. Even those bedridden, after taking seven doses for seven days, were completely cured.

Once the effectiveness of this medicine was confirmed, Ye Shuangshuang generously left the prescription to Doctor Zhao and hurriedly departed.

Ye Shuangshuang left so hastily that these common people didn’t have time to react before Ye Shuangshuang vanished. Nonetheless, her reputation finally soared as she wished.

The common people whose lives were saved by Ye Shuangshuang were immensely grateful to her, particularly praising her for staying in the quarantine zone with them despite the danger during their most despairing time.

Ye Shuangshuang and her companions continued their journey, heading towards Nanzhao, but when they reached the next county, they happened to hear locals discussing the previous epidemic.

The most frequently mentioned was Ye Shuangshuang, a savior who seemed to embody compassion, as if a Bodhisattva reborn, with the benevolent heart of a doctor.

Especially Ye Shuangshuang leaving the life-saving prescription behind and departing swiftly was widely admired for her disdain for fame and fortune, solely driven by empathy for all beings, embodying the virtues of a healer treating the world with impartiality.

The benefits Ye Shuangshuang gained from this event far exceeded her previous expectations. Although she intended to establish her name, she never imagined she could become renowned overnight.

In her previous life, Ye Shuangshuang traveled through countless places, saved numerous lives, and experienced numerous epidemics, big and small, before truly establishing her reputation.

But in this lifetime, Ye Shuangshuang was extremely fortunate to encounter two Nobles, one being the County Magistrate of the epidemic-stricken county, and the other being Doctor Zhao.

After Ye Shuangshuang left the prescription and departed, Doctor Zhao was particularly moved by her gesture. After curing the common people of the epidemic, he planned to report Ye Shuangshuang’s achievements to the Emperor upon returning to the Capital City.

In fact, the credit for this epidemic’s cure essentially belonged to Ye Shuangshuang, as Doctor Zhao’s team hardly contributed anything.

It is rare that the visiting Physicians, except for Doctor Hu, were all of good character, and none wished to claim undue credit, all agreeing with Doctor Zhao’s decision.

However, to report Ye Shuangshuang to the Emperor, naturally her identity must be known, yet Ye Shuangshuang and Doctor Zhao only exchanged surnames, resulting in Doctor Zhao only knowing her surname was Ye.

Moreover, Doctor Zhao did not know Ye Shuangshuang’s specific identity because the two government officers, afraid, did not follow Ye Shuangshuang, so nobody knew she was actually an exile.

Initially, Doctor Zhao thought Ye Shuangshuang’s medical skills were so excellent that the doctors treating the epidemic alongside her should know who she was.

However, when Doctor Zhao inquired, he realized Ye Shuangshuang only arrived a day earlier and had spoken merely a sentence with these doctors.

Finally, Doctor Zhao, overwhelmed, could only approach the County Magistrate, who fortunately knew Ye Shuangshuang was brought by government officers as an exile. In a hurry, he had people investigate, finally figuring out Ye Shuangshuang’s true identity.

Originally, Doctor Zhao’s plan was to find Ye Shuangshuang and take her with him to the Capital City, so if the Emperor wished to see her for her achievements, she wouldn’t be hard to find.

But now that Ye Shuangshuang’s identity was that of an exile, she couldn’t be taken back to the Capital City, nor could she remain in place waiting.

Finally, Doctor Zhao and the County Magistrate discussed and decided one would submit a memorial reporting the epidemic’s treatment process mentioning Ye Shuangshuang, and the other, upon returning to the Capital City, would tell the Emperor of Ye Shuangshuang’s merits.

These two were also impressed by Ye Shuangshuang’s character, deciding to take a risk speaking for her as an exile.

Ye Shuangshuang thought she wasn’t famous but was unaware of her considerable reputation in the Capital City.

To forego the status of Commandery Princess, wealth, and prosperity, to accompany her biological parents in exile and suffering, is a decision not everyone can make, not even many men.

This Doctor Zhao was deeply impressed by Ye Shuangshuang’s character, and the County Magistrate, upon learning her story, greatly admired her disposition.

To maintain such a positive mindset when one’s life hits such a low point, without complaint or cynicism, and never forgetting the benevolent heart of a healer.

Doctor Zhao and his party returned to the Capital City first, and because he returned so quickly this time, the Emperor was astonished. He had dispatched Imperial Physicians numerous times for epidemic treatment but had never seen them return so swiftly.

In ancient times, epidemics were common because of the underdeveloped medical facilities, or simply too few healers, less still competent ones.

Oftentimes, an infectious flu could form a small epidemic, while large-scale epidemics were those causing high fatalities, less common in nature.

This era, plagued with frequent floods, after which epidemics inevitably ensued. Such flood-related epidemics were the most prevalent.

Floods pose challenges even in modern society, let alone treatment in ancient times far less advanced than today.

The Grand Ancestor of this dynasty loved his people deeply, thus established the rule that whenever a flood occurred, the court prioritized appeasing disaster victims along with immediately dispatching Imperial Physicians to control potential epidemics.

However, like this incident, not caused by floods, though potentially fatal, it doesn’t kill instantly, allowing ample time for treatment—the likes not common and best controlled.

Yet even if easily controlled, it’s not cured within days. The Emperor, having deducted the travel time for Doctor Zhao’s journey, realized they hadn’t even stayed ten days in the epidemic zone before returning?

The Emperor did not suspect Doctor Zhao would dare deceive him by returning without curing the people, hence was very curious about how Doctor Zhao’s epidemic treatment was accomplished so swiftly.

Doctor Zhao seized the opportunity to recount the events since meeting Ye Shuangshuang, with other Imperial Physicians corroborating, and the Emperor immediately became interested in Ye Shuangshuang.

After Doctor Zhao finished his report, the County Magistrate’s memorial arrived shortly thereafter, detailing the epidemic’s full course. This further completed Ye Shuangshuang’s image before the Emperor.
