All-around doctor Rong Sheng, after being brought to ancient times by a system, was as busy as a spinning top treating illnesses.
She was too tired and wanted to go home to leisurely farm.
So after much consideration, the Valley Master decided to stay for the time being. There were many refugees in Tai'an Prefecture. Once he had treated the refugees, his medical skills would be even better. Then Rong Sheng would definitely teach him other medical skills!
The disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley all followed Rong Sheng's arrangements. After they had cured all the refugees in Tai'an Prefecture, they would go to the capital to find Rong Sheng and ask him to teach them to continue learning medicine so that they could stand on their own.
As for the apprentices? They pretended to go back to their hometowns to treat their families and help them get rid of their illnesses quickly, but they were Gu Beiyi's people. Gu Beiyi did not ask them to go home, so they could not go home.
Rong Sheng didn't care anymore. He explained the situation, discussed it with the system, and confirmed that the medicine was not enough. He then took out the medicine from the system's hospital and put it in the warehouse, handing the warehouse key to his disciple for safekeeping.
It would have been fine to hand it over to the Valley Master, but the Valley Master is sometimes unreliable. He's too obsessed with medicine, and if something really happens, we might not be able to find the Valley Master.
After settling things over, Rong Sheng packed her things and wrote a letter to her parents, asking her disciples to help her parents when they returned to Wenhong County. She told them to rest assured that she and Gu Beiyi had gone to the capital, and that she would pick them up to go to the capital for a visit once everything was arranged.
The next day, Rong Sheng sat in the sedan chair of the Prince's ceremonial guard, waiting for Gu Beiyi to finish speaking with the prefect of Tai'an and other officials before setting off back to the capital.
The people knew about Gu Beiyi's grand departure, and they all came to see him off, thank him for his care, and wish him well.
Hearing the deafening sound, Rong Sheng looked at Gu Beiyi with a smile: "If your brother, the current emperor, saw this scene, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood!"
"Then let me vomit blood!" I don't care!
Rong Sheng was startled by Gu Beiyi's words. Thinking of all the things Gu Beiyi had done using the snow disaster, she immediately understood everything. Gu Beiyi's relationship with the Emperor was bad, to the point of life and death. Otherwise, Gu Beiyi would not be so cold and ruthless.
On the way back to the capital, Rong Sheng had nothing to do, so she discussed with the system: "System, I've thought about it carefully. If I continue to take on apprentices and let them use the medical skills they learn from me to treat the people, then I can't keep taking out medical equipment from the system hospital. Now that you're here, you've helped me hide it, and I have the Divine Doctor Valley as my backer, so no one will know for the time being! But the longer it goes on, the less I'm sure there aren't any smart people in this world! So I think, could we set up a factory in ancient times and let the ancients smelt medical instruments themselves? You can provide the smelting methods and the manufacturing methods!"
"Sure!" The system thought there was absolutely no problem.
Rong Sheng was overjoyed: "Then I'll tell Gu Beiyi!"
"Go ahead and say it!" Anyway, Gu Beiyi cares a lot about your affairs, and he will agree to whatever you say or want.
After her initial joy, Rong Sheng frowned: "But if that's the case, my secret will be exposed? Gu Beiyi will know everything!"
System: "...Host, you're overthinking it. Gu Beiyi already knew, even earlier than you think!"
"What do you mean?" Rong Sheng sat up straight.
System: "Because Gu Beiyi is a reborn person! You were not happy at all in your previous life. Everything you saw in Gu Beiyi's dream was real. It's just that Gu Beiyi was reborn and he has been trying to change everything! That's why he appeared in your life ahead of time! You just don't know what happened before Gu Beiyi was reborn, but Gu Beiyi knows all your secrets!"
Rong Sheng's dark eyes trembled, and she hurriedly looked at Gu Beiyi's handsome face. Thinking of the scene in Gu Beiyi's dream, she felt as if she had fallen into an icy and dark hell. "Gu Beiyi... I..."
Gu Beiyi looked at Rong Sheng with a puzzled expression: "Sheng Sheng, what's wrong?"
"I want to ask you a question!" Rong Sheng bit her lip, stood up and sat on Gu Beiyi's lap, cupped Gu Beiyi's outstanding face in her hands, and stared intently into Gu Beiyi's eyes with her dark eyes. "You must answer me truthfully!"
"Okay! I will definitely tell you everything I know!" Gu Beiyi said indulgently.
Rong Sheng paused for a moment, then said, "Are you... are you..."
But Rong Sheng couldn't ask, because the system's words weren't necessarily true, and everything that happened in the dream wasn't necessarily real.
"Is it something?" Gu Beiyi looked at Rong Sheng with a smile.
Rong Sheng took a deep breath: "Were you reborn? And do you know all my secrets?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like being struck by lightning!
Gu Beiyi froze on the spot, a look of fear and terror flashing across his dark eyes, and he suddenly tightened his grip on Rong Sheng's arms.
When Rong Sheng saw Gu Beiyi like this, she understood that the system had not deceived her; Gu Beiyi was indeed a reborn person!
"Gu Beiyi! You're a reincarnated person? Right!" Rong Sheng said decisively, "And you know all my secrets!"
Gu Beiyi struggled to suppress his shock, because he thought of Rong Sheng's system. The system was incredibly powerful; what didn't it know? But this life's system seemed different from the one in his previous life. In his previous life, at least in Gu Beiyi's view, the system couldn't do anything without the boost of medical ethics points!
In this life, through the events that happened to the four Rong brothers, Gu Beiyi knew that the system had changed and become more humane.
So Gu Beiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right! I was reborn!"
"So it really is!" Rong Sheng suddenly understood everything. Why did Gu Beiyi act as if he hadn't seen anything when she exposed so many clues? It turned out that Gu Beiyi had known all along and had been silently cooperating with her.
"How long have you been reborn?"
"ten years!"
"Ten years?" Rong Sheng was stunned.
No wonder he wasn't afraid of the emperor at all. Having been reborn for ten years and possessing memories of his past life, he could prevent many things from happening in advance, and also stop many things from happening.
Gu Beiyi nodded, stroking Rong Sheng's smooth black hair with his large hand. His dark eyes fell on Rong Sheng's delicate face. Seeing that Rong Sheng was not surprised or disgusted, Gu Beiyi felt relieved. He then slowly said, "That's right, I have been back for ten years! Because I have the memories of the previous ten years, I started planning ten years ago."
"Then tell me about your rebirth! The system will cover for me and won't let a third person know what you're saying!" What happened before her rebirth? Rong Sheng didn't dare ask for now, after all, Gu Beiyi's dream was too terrifying!
Rong Sheng didn't want to reopen Gu Beiyi's wounds! She didn't want to make him suffer again!
"Good! After I was reborn, I decided that I would not go back after being reborn. So I started to build the Shadowless Tower and infiltrate its influence into every corner of the four kingdoms. As long as I give the order, the people of the Shadowless Tower will be mobilized to stir up trouble in the other three kingdoms, causing internal and external troubles, so that they will not have time to pay attention to my existence? In this way, I can promote Su Wenxian and make Su Wenxian make money for me! Lots and lots of money!"
Rong Sheng quietly looked at Gu Beiyi, listening to him recount his story of being reborn.
