The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

Chapter 034 He's Not a Coward

Xie Lingbai hurriedly picked up the picture album on the ground and hid it in her arms, said with some embarrassment: "Don't get me wrong, I am here entirely for study."

"study?"

"Well, studying the structure of the human body, isn't it to become a doctor?"

Xie Lingbai just opened his mouth to talk nonsense, and He Lianzhi naturally wouldn't believe him. While he was busy with the epidemic these days, he also sent someone to inquire about Xie Lingbai, and the information he got was that he was an ignorant dude .

He really couldn't figure out how such a person could stay by Wen Xun's side.

"I don't know if you have eaten yet?"

"Ah?" Xie Lingbai thought he heard it wrong, but seeing He Lianzhi's expression did not seem to be joking, he rubbed his stomach and said, "I haven't eaten dinner yet."

"I didn't eat it either. I'm not very familiar with Xiya City when I first arrived. I heard that Xiyalou's dishes are the most famous. Is it true?"

"Uh, of course, the most famous building in our Xiya City is the Xiya Building, and the ostentation there also matches your status as the court envoy."

Generally, people with a certain status will choose Xixia Building, while ordinary people will think it is too expensive, so they will seldom go there.

"Are you busy? If you are not busy, why not go together? I don't even know how to get there."

"It's not busy, so I'll take you there."

Xie Lingbai thought that He Lianzhi was Wen Changheng's younger brother after all, and he had encouraged him in the isolation area before, so it was nothing to have a meal together, so he took him to Xixia Building.

The bookstore where he bought the books was not very far from Xixia Building, and he walked there in a short while. It was still early, so there were not many people having dinner. They asked for a private room on the second floor, and He Lianzhi let the people around him The entourage is waiting on the first floor.

Xie Lingbai used to be a frequent visitor here, and he often brought a few friends to eat, so he knew the dishes here very well. After asking He Lianzhi's preferences, he quickly ordered a few.

"It seems that I really found the right person."

"Envoy He, don't laugh at me. I just came here more often. It's been a long time since I came here."

He Lianzhi smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, seemingly unintentionally said: "I heard that you came to Wen's mansion to be a servant because of the decline of your family?"

"Yes, thanks to the master for taking me in, otherwise I would have to live on the streets with my brother."

"Are you doing odd jobs in Yucaoxuan?"

"Ah."

"I got off work very early today."

"I didn't go today. It's not because I was ill. I just recovered. By the way, Court Envoy He, what's going on in the quarantine area?"

"It's all over."

"You are really amazing. I don't think I can reach your level if I study for decades."

"Famous teachers make great apprentices. You have Ah Xun to teach you. I believe you will soon catch up with me, or even surpass me."

"Master is very powerful, I especially admire him."

What He Lianzhi said just now was actually out of probing, to test whether Xie Lingbai knew Wen Xun's identity, and now it seems that he does.

The last time I saw him was Wen Xun who was holding him, and Wen Xun personally took care of him after that. The relationship between the two of them is absolutely impossible to be a simple master-servant.

"I heard they all call you Young Master Xie?"

"That's the old address. You can just call me by my name."

"You used to live a carefree life and spend money like running water, but now you are a servant, maybe you are not used to it?"

Xie Lingbai felt that this Envoy of He Yuan was really a bit strange. Although his attitude seemed gentle, the words he asked made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's nothing I'm not used to. I don't have to worry about food and clothing when I live in the Wen Mansion. As for the rich master, I can spend it as I like."

"A Xun is so kind to you."

Speaking of Wen Changheng, a smile broke out on Xie Lingbai's face, he nodded and said: "In this world, apart from my parents, the master treats me the best."

"I thought that in this world, he would only be so kind to junior sister."

He Lianzhi said this lightly, but Xie Lingbai was stunned, and asked in doubt: "What junior sister?"

"Didn't Ah Xun tell you about my junior sister?"

"No, I only know that you are his junior brother, but I don't know that you have a junior sister."

"Junior Sister, she...is no longer alive."

"Oh sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"You don't need to say sorry to me. For the death of my junior sister, the person who is most saddened should be A Xun. After all, my junior sister is his unmarried wife. If that incident hadn't happened, they would have been married long ago."

After He Lianzhi said this, he saw Xie Lingbai's shocked face as expected, and he continued: "A Xun, junior sister and I grew up together since childhood. Junior sister's real name is Zhou Lan'er, and she is the teacher of my family. daughter, A Xun and her can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and they are in love with each other."

Xie Lingbai didn't answer, and suddenly remembered that Wen Changheng asked him what to do if he rejected him because he already had someone he liked in his heart. At that time, he thought that the person he liked was He Lianzhi, but now it seems that it was Zhou Lan'er what?

"Then...how did she die?"

"There was a bandit who was having an affair with Mrs. Yazhai. The village owner found out and ordered the other bandits in the village to beat him half to death. After Ah Xun cured him, those bandits held a grudge against Ah Xun and wanted to provoke him. , then poisoned the junior sister and asked him to cure it."

At this time, the waiter's waiter brought up the dishes, and their conversation stopped. After all the dishes were served, He Lianzhi picked up a piece of ribs with chopsticks, tasted it, and praised: "It's delicious, Lingbai, what you ordered The dishes are really good, and the skill of the chefs here is comparable to that of the royal chefs in the palace."

Wen Changheng, who had just walked to the door of the private room, stopped when he heard the voice, and looked at the closed door of the private room indifferently. Wei Ze, who was beside him, was obviously also a little puzzled.

Xie Lingbai was still hungry just now, but now he has no appetite at all. He hesitated for a while and asked: "Master He, Master, he failed to detoxify Miss Zhou?"

Wen Changheng at the door of the private room frowned slightly when he heard the words, Wei Ze wanted to go up to knock on the door, but was stopped by him, he shook his head, just stood quietly at the door and listened.

He Lianzhi obviously heard the sound of footsteps, and it was almost time after calculation. He glanced at the private room door, and then deliberately raised his voice and said: "Yes, his medical skills have been praised since he was a child, and the master always said that he is extremely talented." Gao, at the age of seventeen, he became an envoy of the imperial hospital. His journey was smooth and smooth. Nothing could stop him, but he couldn't save his beloved. He could only watch her worsen day by day, and finally died in In his arms."

"Is there no antidote for those bandits?"

"Why would the bandits keep the antidote? They were just out for revenge. They wanted to make Ah Xun regret it and make him look bad. It's inhumane."

"The master resigned because of this matter?"

"Of course, in his heart, nothing can compare to his junior sister. When his junior sister dies, he will lose his future. Those ambitions and ideals are all forgotten."

When He Lianzhi said this, he clenched the chopsticks in his hands a little bit, and his eyes were a little unwilling. Xie Lingbai didn't say anything, but He Lianzhi relaxed his hands slightly, and then said: "So you see, the person you admire is only He’s just a coward who abandoned his official position for the sake of his children’s love and left countless patients behind, do you still think he’s amazing now?”

Xie Lingbai shook her head and said, "I think the master must not be just because of this."

He Lianzhi was a little surprised, "Oh? That's not it? You didn't see how decadent he was after the death of his junior sister. Before his death, his master recommended him to the emperor as an envoy, but he failed his master's high expectations, and he also failed. Those patients put their trust in him."

Xie Lingbai didn't like He Lianzhi's words very much, everyone has the right to choose, why would Wen Changheng be called a coward for resigning from office!

"The master said that the reason why he learned medicine at the beginning was because he watched his mother die in front of him when he was a child. He wanted to learn medicine well and heal the people around him."

"I know this, but in the end? He vowed to study medicine to save people, but he completely gave up this path because of the death of a woman. What is he not a coward?"

"But that's not an ordinary woman. You also said that she and her master's childhood sweetheart are in love and are about to get married."

"so what?"

"You said that you are extremely talented and wiped out all his hard work. I think behind the scenes that you don't know, he must have put in a lot of effort to learn medical skills well, so he must be sadder than anyone else to give up this path.

Master, he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of his mother dying in front of him but being unable to treat her, so he worked hard to study medicine.

In the end, his medical skills were recognized by everyone, but he still couldn't save his beloved, and could only watch her die in front of him. "

Xie Lingbai paused for a moment when she said this, as if she remembered the feeling she had when she knelt at the gate of the Wen Mansion with Xie Jinqing in her arms, and now thinking about it, she still feels like her heart is so painful that it was torn apart.

"Miss Zhou's death is tantamount to breaking the master's reason for insisting on studying medicine. He must have felt that he couldn't save the important people around him if he didn't study medicine. He experienced it twice, Court Envoy He, you think Miss Zhou's death is irrelevant because you don't love her, so you don't feel it, but master is different."

He Lianzhi froze there, he didn't expect Xie Lingbai to say such a thing, and he realized that he had never considered what he had experienced from the perspective of Wen Xun.

As a doctor, he was used to seeing life and death, so he always felt that Zhou Lan'er's death was nothing. Seeing Wen Xun being so decadent because of Zhou Lan'er's death and even resigning from office to leave the imperial city, he was full of incomprehensible emotions.

"Heyuan Envoy." Xie Lingbai stood up, calmed down and said: "I thought you were brothers, and you must understand the pain in his heart, but now it seems that you don't understand anything, you and I There is also a big difference in thoughts, as the saying goes, different ways do not seek each other, you enjoy it slowly, I will go back first."

After Xie Lingbai finished speaking, she walked towards the door of the private room, reached the door and stretched out her hand to open the door of the private room, but was stunned when she saw Wen Changheng standing at the door.

Behind Wen Changheng was Wei Ze, and a lot of people gathered not far away, probably curious why Boss Wen stood at the door for so long.

"Master, you, why are you here?"

"Xie Lingbai."

Wen Changheng had yelled the simple three words many times, and Xie Lingbai was used to it, but this time it sounded a little different, as if speaking faster.

Moreover, there were some emotions in Wen Changheng's eyes that he couldn't understand, which were completely different from usual. Although Xie Lingbai was puzzled, he could vaguely detect the emotions that should be happy.

"What's your master's order?"

Wen Changheng suddenly raised his right hand and placed it on Xie Lingbai's left cheek, then lowered his head and kissed his lips, Xie Lingbai's eyes suddenly opened wide.At the same time, the surrounding crowd also exploded directly.
