Jiang Li originally thought that they were colleagues and wanted to find a day to visit Qin Yu, but a few days later, he received a visiting card from Qin Yu.

"Master Qin, please come in."

Because Jiang Li had already made instructions, as soon as Qin Yu arrived, the housekeeper invited him to the main hall.

After a while, Jiang Li appeared with Gu Qingchen.

Originally, Jiang Li thought that the other party was here to visit a patient, so she planned to receive Qin Yu herself.

However, ever since the last assassination, Gu Qingchen has postponed many things and has spent more than twice as much time in the mansion as before.

In addition, the person behind the scenes has not been caught yet, and the emperor just feels that the people he raised are too useless. Instead of looking at Gu Qingchen's dark face all day, it is better to send them back to accompany his wife.

To the extent that these days Gu Qingchen wished he could tie himself to Jiang Li, and go wherever she went.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess."

Seeing the visitor, Qin Yu quickly stood up and saluted.

After a few simple greetings, Qin Yu suddenly lifted his robe and knelt, bowing to Jiang Li and saying, "I have come to the palace today to make an unwelcome request, but I have thought deeply about this matter for a long time... I beg the princess to accept me as her disciple."

Not to mention Jiang Li, even Gu Qingchen was stunned.

Qin Yu is several years older than both of them.

Moreover, Qin Yu was promoted to deputy director several years ago. It can be said that when he entered the Imperial Hospital, Jiang Li was still a child.

"Master Qin, are you in trouble?"

Jiang Li's subconscious reaction was that the Qin family wanted to wipe out the whole clan, and Qin Yu had nowhere else to turn, so he came to the Jingling Palace to surrender.

Perhaps hearing the hidden meaning in Jiang Li's words, Qin Yu said, "I believe you two have heard about Qin's affairs. Yes, I was expelled from the Qin family tree. However, the reason behind this is not because I am unfilial, but -"

If Qin Yu hadn't said it herself, Jiang Li would never have guessed that this matter was related to her.

After the Imperial Medical Bureau's school entrance examination, Jiang Li had given special training to those imperial physicians. At that time, no one believed that in just a few days, Jiang Li could really make their medical skills leap to a higher level.

Until that day of the palace banquet.

When the imperial physicians were most panicked, those who had undergone special training were like Hua Tuo in the world. They used their unique skills at the critical moment, shocking everyone so much that they couldn't sleep well for several days and nights.

Qin Yu understood at that time that the truly powerful one was not them, but Jiang Li.

So after returning home, he told his mother that he wanted to become a disciple. However, the one he wanted to become a disciple of was Princess Jingling, who had broken off her engagement with the Qin family.

He knew that if the Qin family knew about this, they would definitely not tolerate him. However, compared to trying to please Qin Chuan, the head of the Qin family who wanted to take advantage of him all day long, Qin Yu wanted to delve deeper into medical skills.

"Then Aunt Qin..." Jiang Li looked at Qin Yu, "I heard that Aunt Qin is sick. Is it because you made her angry?"

Qin Yu shook his head. "Although my mother doesn't know medicine, she knows my temper. Over the years, my mother and I have been unwelcome in the Qin family because I refused to follow Qin Chuan's instructions and use my medical skills to harm others."

"After hearing about this, they took my mother away while I was on duty and made her kneel outside the ancestral hall and kowtow to admit her fault."

Although it’s not snowing in this weather, the cold wind is as sharp as a knife.

The Qin family is so vicious that they made the elderly people kneel outside the ancestral hall. They can be so cruel to their own people.

"But if you accept me as your master, then there will be no turning back."

Jiang Li reminded.

Although he was born in the Qin family, he was unwilling to be an accomplice to the evil. This alone is enough to show Qin Yu's character.

Jiang Li actually approved of this disciple, but people's words were scary. She was worried that Qin Yu would not be able to withstand the slander from the public.

"Please rest assured, Princess. Qin has thought it through. My mother said that a true man should live with a clear conscience. Qin hasn't asked for anything in years. I hope Princess will agree!"

///

"Have you heard? Lord Qin has become Princess Jingling's disciple!"

"I know, I know! Sir Qin is too cunning. We are all colleagues, look at his reaction speed!"

"Then do you think it's too late for me to become a disciple now?"

"What are you dreaming about? Do you think Princess Jingling is willing to accept anyone as her disciple? If I were you, I'd say she'd accept me but not you!"

"Why?"

"Why? Because I'm more talented than you!"

“…”

Early in the morning, there was a huge quarrel in the Imperial Hospital.

Ever since the Jingling Palace held a banquet to welcome the master yesterday, Daning Daily immediately wrote about the incident in detail, which once again boosted the sales of Daning Daily overnight.

"Hahahahahahaha, girl, you really do things in a surprising way!"

After Grand Tutor Xue left the court, he went to the general's mansion with Jiang Yao.

One was to see how his daughter was recovering from her illness, and the other was that he heard that Jiang Li was in the general's residence, so he came over to see her.

After the Lantern Festival incident, Xue Rou was frightened and sick for a long time. She only recovered in the past few days.

When he saw Jiang Li, he kept holding Jiang Li's hand, not wanting to let go for a moment.

Jiang Li also let her mother cling to her and looked at her grandfather with a smile, "He is also the first apprentice, so naturally I should protect him a little."

According to Qin Yu's opinion, he was unwilling to disclose the matter of becoming Jiang Li's disciple, so as not to cause trouble to Jiang Li.

But Jiang Li thought that since Qin Yu had already left the Qin family, if this matter was publicized with great fanfare, the Qin family would have to think carefully before bullying Qin Yu again in the future.

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Xue smiled and said, "Well said! You are worthy of being my granddaughter. As the saying goes, master and apprentice are master and apprentice, the apprentice respects the master, and the master protects the apprentice. It should be so! However, now that we have completely torn our relationship with the Qin family, you didn't see Qin Chuan's expression in the court today."

Jiang Yao snorted coldly, "Ever since Ah Li withdrew from the Qin family's marriage proposal, we've already torn our relationship apart. Why would you still care about these things?"

After saying that, Jiang Yao glanced at Jiang Li and said, "Don't worry, my daughter. I have your father behind you. You can protect whoever you want! Besides, the Qin family has been in trouble one after another. Even that old fox Qin Chuan has to keep his tail between his legs now!"

"Why didn't anyone dare to speak out when Censor Chen 'blasted' the Third Prince's former allies in the court today?"

"However..." Grand Tutor Xue paused, "Speaking of court affairs, Ah Li, have you met the Princess of Zhuang?"

Princess Zhuang?

Jiang Li was stunned. "I've heard of her, but I've never seen her. Why did Grandpa suddenly mention her?"

Grand Tutor Xue frowned slightly. "Today at court, the Emperor mentioned the memorial submitted by Prince Zhuang. He said that Prince Zhuang's wife's condition has worsened and she needs to recuperate, so he wants to move the whole family to the fiefdom."

On the day of the palace banquet, while Prince Zhuang was in the palace, Jiang Li asked the secret guards to check Prince Zhuang's mansion.

But there was nothing special discovered.

And the people who came back said that Prince Zhuang's wife was indeed seriously ill and bedridden, and the whole yard was filled with the smell of medicine.

"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Li asked.
