He admitted generously, "I have been exchanging letters with Du Xi for a long time, and I have long been in love with her."
"I didn't expect this to happen today, so I'm here to clarify. Du Xi and I are indeed in love, and we're legitimately in love."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Lu Bingqian was the most promising physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau, not only because of his excellent medical skills, but also because of his handsome appearance and outstanding temperament. He was favored by many princes and nobles.
How many girls have placed their hearts on him, and he will surely marry into a wealthy family in the future.
But who would have thought that such a brilliant person would publicly admit that he had feelings for a thespian!
Moreover, the actress they all saw was clearly an ugly woman!
In this kind of situation, everyone just thought that Doctor Lu was bewitched and had lost his mind!
The Queen Mother thought so too. She said with a look of deep sorrow, "Doctor Lu, do you know what you are saying?"
"You're in love with a lowly actor? Such words will ruin your bright future!"
But she knew that besides the daughters of officials, there were also many little princesses who liked Lu Bingqian.
No matter which one Lu Bingqian likes, his future will be improved.
Du Xi on the opposite side took a few steps back, and the panic in her eyes deepened. If no one had stopped her, she would have fled long ago.
Lu Bingqian looked at the Queen Mother and said with certainty, "I have made up my mind. Your Majesty, do not worry too much. I will devote my medical skills to repaying the royal family. I do not seek any glorious future."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost died. It was as if she had never seen such a person who was so indifferent to fame and fortune. She pointed at him and shook her head: "What kind of bewitching thing has bewitched you?"
On the side, Xiao Shengxing looked at Lu Bingqian with a very calm expression, as if he had known that his friend would say so.
Su Lijin was shocked by Lu Bingqian's words.
She knew that Lu Bingqian was an upright man with a strong sense of his own, but she never expected that he was such a good man. She couldn't help but admire him!
"Since you two are in love, I will grant you two a marriage today!"
However, as soon as she said this, Du Xi shook his head even more frantically, desperately refusing: "Empress, you can't grant me this marriage! You can't grant me this marriage!"
Her voice was so loud and her refusal was so firm that it surprised everyone.
"Doctor Lu is such an outstanding man. Du Xi's ancestors had to burn incense to get him, and yet he rejected him?"
They looked at Du Xi with disbelief and contempt.
Although they didn't want Lu Bingqian to marry Du Xi at all, they were still angry when they saw that Du Xi was ungrateful!
Du Xi lowered his head, not daring to look Lu Bingqian in the eye, and always avoided him.
She knelt in front of Su Lijin, as if she had made up her mind, with her hands on the ground. As she did this, she did not realize that the sleeves covering her face had been lowered.
"Your Majesty, Du Xi is so ugly that she dares not marry Imperial Physician Lu. Please withdraw your plan to grant her marriage!"
Lu Bingqian frowned slightly. He didn't expect Du Xi to flatly refuse to marry him.
After exchanging letters with her for so long, he got to know that the person he knew was very smart and lovely, and her admiration for him was evident between the lines of her letters.
He searched for her for so long and even asked Su Lijin to look for her for him, and finally found her.
But I didn't expect that she would refuse like this?
With complicated thoughts in his mind, Lu Bingqian looked at Du Xi and finally saw the scar on Du Xi's face that he had covered up for a long time.
Feeling his gaze, Du Xi panicked and quickly covered his face with his sleeves. He looked at Lu Bingqian with eyes full of fear, which was very real and not a disguise.
This frightened look made Lu Bingqian feel an indescribable strangeness in his heart.
But he suppressed it, took a step forward, walked to Du Xi, and said firmly: "Du Xi, I don't mind the scar on your face, you don't have to cover it."
Hearing this, Du Xi couldn't help but shrink his body.
"I've been exchanging letters with you for so long. I believe you also adore me. Our feelings are sincere."
Du Xi's hands gripping his sleeves tightened even more, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
Su Lijin patted Du Xi's shoulder, helped her up, and said with a smile, "I have decided. This marriage is final! You two can choose a date to get married!"
The empress dowager, who had been shocked for a long time, was filled with anger. She opened her mouth to stop it, but was interrupted by Xiao Shengxing.
Xiao Shengxing's lips curled slightly. "The Queen is right. I also believe this is truly a match made in heaven. The two of you can get married in three days."
"Empress, Your Majesty, this is not possible..."
Du Xi's eyes were filled with anxiety and panic, but he still shook his head and waved his hands to refuse.
However, Su Lijin gave her a reassuring look.
"If Imperial Doctor Lu says he doesn't care, then he really doesn't care. Stop feeling so inferior and just prepare for the wedding."
Unable to struggle, Du Xi frowned and said nothing more.
Lu Bingqian smiled and wanted to look at Du Xi, but he saw that she was still frowning. As he looked at her, the corners of her lips unconsciously pursed.
The marriage was settled, and everyone dispersed with much discussion.
Su Lijin returned to the palace and Lu Bingqian also came to visit.
As soon as he saw Su Lijin, Lu Bingqian bowed and said solemnly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me find a lover."
Seeing his serious attitude, Su Lijin showed a satisfied smile on her face: "It's a good thing that everyone is happy about. I am also very happy. Doctor Lu, there is no need to be so polite."
"Also, I unexpectedly ran into Du Xi today. It must be fate."
Finally, she was also humble. After all, although she was indeed looking for the person Lu Bingqian liked, she did not expect to run into him directly. It was really an accident.
Lu Bingqian nodded, but there was gratitude in his eyes.
Su Lijin's eyes moved, and she smiled and said, "Doctor Lu, now that this matter has been agreed upon, are you going to start teaching me medical skills?"
This was their agreement at the time.
Hearing this, Lu Bingqian nodded gently and said, "Your Majesty, please report to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow."
After hearing that Lu Bingqian wanted to teach her medical skills, Su Lijin was so happy that she could even be described as beaming with joy.
All she could think about was medical skills and the human skin mask.
Thinking that she could finally learn from the highly skilled medical master Lu Bingqian and would make great progress in making human skin masks in the future, she was so excited that she almost couldn't sleep!
The next day.
Su Lijin was full of energy early in the morning. Unlike usual when she got up late, she threw off the quilt and got out of bed early.
Since she was going to learn medicine, she could no longer go to the Imperial Medical Office as the queen.
Su Lijin took out a set of prepared eunuch clothes from the bedroom and put them on herself with a smile.
After putting on the clothes, she did not forget to put her hair up and comb it like a eunuch.
Looking in the bronze mirror, Su Lijin saw herself dressed like a eunuch, and stretched out her hand to look at the fabric that fitted her body. She was in a very good mood.
