The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

Yun Molian and Xie Lingbai searched all afternoon but did not find any trace of Gu Fan. Seeing that it was getting dark, Gu Fan never came back.

After it got dark, Yun Molian went to the street again to search all the brothels/houses in the imperial city, smashed a lot of bank notes, but did not find any useful information.

"Where is Gu Fan going? He is not familiar with the place where he lived in the imperial city."

Xie Lingbai was a little puzzled, why did he seem to have evaporated from the world suddenly? Isn't it a little too weird?Or did they miss something and didn't find it?

In fact, Gu Fan not only didn’t evaporate, he didn’t even go far, but after leaving the other courtyard, he walked towards the direction with few people. After walking into the nearby alley, after a while, he found an abandoned courtyard. Those who wanted to go in to avoid it, but unexpectedly saw a lotus pond inside.

His whole body seemed to be on fire, and now he urgently needed something to calm himself down, so he walked directly into the lotus pond.

He didn't understand water, so he didn't go deep. He just sat down a little past the edge and soaked himself in the cold water, feeling much more comfortable in an instant.

Because of the cover of the lotus leaves, it is generally difficult to find that there is actually a person in this pool.

Although soaked in the pool water, the desire/fire in the body still seemed to rise, and it didn't calm down until after dark. When I walked out of the pool, I felt that I must be in such a mess, so I simply wanted to rest in the abandoned house for a night.

But when he was about to walk in, an old voice came from the main hall, which sounded even more frightening in this dark night.

It was only later that Gu Fan found out that there was an uncle living here. It didn't look like there were people living here before, but Gu Fan thought there was no one there, so he didn't ask when he came in.

Gu Fan was ready to leave after dawn in the morning. His clothes were already dry. He thought a lot that night, about Yun Molian and about himself.

He had always thought that it would be enough for him to just stay by Yun Molian's side silently and take care of him, and he could do this before Yun Molian was with his sweetheart.

But I only found out last night that if I stayed by his side, not only would he not be happy, but he would also feel dirty.

Some helplessly forced a smile, the feelings are really unreasonable at all, what he regards as the most important is worthless in the eyes of others.

Why bother……

"Got to go?"

The uncle handed Gu Fan a steamed bun while he was talking, Gu Fan took it and thanked him: "Thank you uncle, thanks to you for taking me in for a night last night, I have to go."

"You don't need to thank me. This house wasn't originally mine, and I just borrowed it, but for a little longer."

Seeing this uncle with disheveled hair, Gu Fan would be really shocked if ordinary people saw it in the middle of the night, and his clothes looked shabby, he looked like a beggar.

"Don't forget what you promised me last night."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone that I met you here, otherwise..."

"There is no need to make those vows. After all, I have lived for so long, and I still have a good eye for seeing people. Otherwise, I will find a way to drive you away from the time you enter this house during the day."

Gu Fan nodded, chatted for a few words and then left the abandoned house. After one night, he had already thought clearly, since staying by Yun Molian's side would make him bored, it's better to leave.

However, not long after he walked out of the alley and onto the street, he was stopped by several officials, one of whom spread out the portraits in his hands for comparison.

"It's him, take him away!"

Many onlookers on the street all had the attitude of watching the show. Gu Fan was confused and asked why he was arrested several times, but no one answered him at all.

Xie Lingbai and the others didn't take much rest at night, they were all worried about Gu Fan, and imagined many possibilities. The last thing they expected was that in the morning, Wei Ze actually said that Gu Fan had been thrown into the prison.

"What? Into the sky prison? Why?"

"Miss Luo of the Grand Master's Mansion went to the governor to sue Gu Fan for molesting her personal maid."

"How is this possible? It's clearly a mess...Even if Gu Fan was not in a good condition last night, it's unlikely that he went directly to the girl's house on the street..."

"Let's go and see the situation first."

Xie Lingbai nodded, and was about to get out with Yun Mo, but Wen Changheng said: "The prison is so heavy, anyone can enter wherever he wants, especially if this matter involves the Grand Master's Mansion, what do you think is the chance of meeting Gu Fan?" How big is it?"

Xie Lingbai was stunned, almost thought he was still in Xixia City, but suddenly remembered that this was the imperial city, the sky prison, how could he get into that kind of place?

"Master... what should we do then?"

Wen Changheng thought for a while and said, "Where is the token Zhao Lingrui gave you?"

"Yes, I have been carrying it with me all the time. I understand. Let's go to Zhao Lingrui first?"

Wen Changheng said: "Let's split things up, Wei Ze, you take Xie Lingbai to the palace to find Zhao Lingrui, I'll go to Sun Fuyin to find out what's going on, as for Yun Molian, you go to the prison and tell It's Gu Fan's friend, let's see if the guards will let you in."

"it is good!"

Now that the arrangements were made, they set off separately. Xie Lingbai followed Wei Ze to the gate of the palace. After showing the token given by Zhao Lingrui, someone actually took them to the East Palace.

Xie Lingbai looked at the surrounding environment, this palace was much bigger than he imagined, he couldn't help but doubt, was he really born here?

"Come on, pass on to the imperial physician, pass on to the imperial physician!"

When the little eunuch led the two of them through the imperial garden, he suddenly heard the shouts of the court ladies, and several little eunuchs ran out.

Xie Lingbai stopped in her tracks and asked in confusion, "What happened over there?"

The little eunuch leading the way replied: "Who knows, let's go quickly."

Xie Lingbai was a little hesitant. Just now those maids were shouting for the imperial doctor. Could it be that someone was injured or suddenly got sick?Ever since he learned medicine, he couldn't turn a blind eye to these conditions.

"My father-in-law, please wait for a while, I will come after I go and have a look."

"Hey, where are you going? Don't run around!"

The little eunuch shouted, Wei Ze hurriedly followed, the little eunuch was a little helpless, and finally had no choice but to follow, and Xie Lingbai saw a gazebo within a few steps, surrounded by a lot of court ladies.

"What happened?"

Xie Lingbai squeezed in and asked, a court lady didn't even bother to see who asked, and replied directly: "Your Majesty was stung by a bee, where is the imperial physician? Is the imperial physician here?"

Xie Lingbai saw a gracefully dressed woman sitting at the table, she must be some kind of empress, he stepped forward a few steps, and saw that empress was holding the back of her hand with an ugly expression.

"Ma'am, can I see the wound?"

Only then did the crowd realize Xie Lingbai's existence, and they all looked at him in surprise, not knowing where he came from, and he didn't look like a palace man in his clothes.

"Bold, who are you?"

"Don't panic, I'm a doctor." Xie Lingbai said to the lady: "Have you been stung on the back of your hand? If you are stung, you have to remove the thorn as soon as possible, otherwise it will be more serious."

As he spoke, he looked around and saw a silver needle next to the pastry on the table, so he picked it up, then directly took the lady's hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it won't hurt very much."

"Come on, grab him quickly!"

A court lady shouted, at this time the woman known as Empress suddenly raised her other hand to stop them, and then said to Xie Lingbai: "You continue..."

Xie Lingbai nodded, and used the silver needle in his hand to pick out the bee sting on the back of her hand. After a while, the imperial physician arrived. Xie Lingbai took a step back. The imperial physician went forward to check it, and then quickly took the medicine .

"Doctor Liu, how is your majesty's injury?"

"Fortunately, the bee sting was taken out early, and there was not much bee venom infiltrated. I have already applied medicine for the imperial concubine, and the swelling will subside in a few days."

Xie Lingbai frowned, a noble concubine?I heard from Wen Changheng and the others before that there seems to be only one noble concubine in this palace... Liu Guifei, the biological mother of the fourth princess?

When he was looking at Concubine Liu Gui, Concubine Liu Gui just raised her eyes to look at him, Xie Lingbai quickly lowered her head, Concubine Liu Gui looked at him for a while and said: "You don't look like you are in the palace, how could you appear in the palace Woolen cloth?"

"I……"

"Presumptuous, how can you call yourself me when you go back to your mother."

Xie Lingbai was stunned by the yelling, Concubine Liu Gui waved her hands a little and said: "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, but I think you are very good at seeing you, you look young, and your medical skills are good, could it be that you are a newcomer? the imperial physician?"

The imperial physician at the side replied: "Back to your mother, the imperial physician selection meeting has not yet ended, so there are no newcomers coming in for the time being."

"Really? Then you..."

Xie Lingbai replied: "I... Go back to your mother, I participated in the imperial physician selection meeting, but I am not yet an imperial physician, and I don't know if I can be selected."

Concubine Liu Gui smiled, Xie Lingbai was a little stunned, for some reason, she always felt that this concubine's smile was really kind.

"You have such good medical skills, but you are not blindly arrogant. I think the Tai Hospital definitely needs someone like you."

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high. These are just the most basic. Many people know how to deal with them, so they are not good medical skills. Also, I have urgent matters, so I have to leave first."

Concubine Liu Gui nodded, and finally asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Xie Lingbai."

Xie Lingbai felt that after he said these words, the expression of Concubine Liu Gui in front of him changed instantly.

"Xie Lingbai? Where is his family?"

"Sunset City."

Concubine Liu Gui didn't say anything, Xie Lingbai left first when she saw her like this, Wei Ze, who was standing outside the palace maid and eunuch, followed Xie Lingbai.

"What happened to the lady?"

The maid serving Concubine Liu saw that Concubine Liu Gui's complexion was a bit uncomfortable, so she asked a question, Concubine Liu Gui shook her head, and after sending the imperial physician away, she sighed, "Xie Lingbai...I didn't expect him to be Xie Lingbai, it's a pity... "

Although the maid didn't understand, she wisely didn't ask any more questions.
