"Are you sure you are not kidding me? Why would a disciple of a genius doctor be in Yaoyue Palace?" The people from the National Medical Hall looked suspicious.
Tan Tai Chun, who had been watching from the side, glanced at Su Lijin and said, "Of course I won't lie to you. Our Yaoyue Palace's information is the most reliable."
Su Lijin also nodded, with a sly look in her eyes: "You pay the money now, and I will tell you where you can see her in Yaoyue Palace."
She looked like she was waiting to receive money, but when she saw the people from the National Medical Hall actually took out a considerable sum of money, her eyes almost blossomed with smiles.
"Just go out and head east. You'll find her in the innermost room. Push the door and you'll find her."
"Okay, let's believe it for now and go." With that, the man stood up and walked east.
"You sit down, I'll be back soon."
Su Lijin immediately stood up, went through the secret passage to the innermost room on the east side, and transformed herself into the appearance of a disciple of the miracle doctor.
As soon as she sat down, the door was pushed open.
"Is it really you? Disciple of the miracle doctor?" The people in the National Medical Hall were a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the disciple of the miracle doctor was really in Yaoyue Palace.
His expression caught Su Lijin's eye. She curled her lips and asked, "What do you want from me?"
But she was indeed a little curious about why the National Medical Hall was looking for her in such a high-profile manner.
The man from the National Medical Hall looked her up and down for a moment before speaking, "We are well-known in the medical community and have a high status in the martial arts world. We are about to hold a Divine Doctor Competition and invite all our Divine Doctor disciples to participate."
As he spoke, he took out a visiting card.
Before speaking, he first praised the National Medical Hall. This kind of self-praise did not show any humility at all, which made Su Lijin laugh.
However, this is also the consistent practice of the National Medical Hall.
It was the same when I dealt with the people from the National Medical Hall before. It seems that most of the people there are just like the person in front of me, arrogant and unaware.
"Why should I participate in the Divine Doctor Competition?"
Su Lijin sneered and questioned, "I'm already a disciple of the Divine Doctor. What meaning does this Divine Doctor Competition have for me? My master is a true Divine Doctor. I don't need to prove myself in this way."
The few words she said in succession made everyone in the National Medical Hall feel embarrassed.
The words may be rough, but the truth is there. The disciple of the miracle doctor does have the confidence.
The person from the National Medical Hall coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, and then, in a much more relaxed tone, he apologized, "I was a little abrupt just now. I hope that the disciple of the Divine Doctor will not blame me."
"The first place winner of this competition will receive the Nine-Transformation Heavenly Lotus, the most precious treasure of our National Medical Hall."
He looked at Su Lijin and said, "Please consider this before making a decision, disciple of the Divine Doctor."
In his opinion, their reward is almost top-notch, and almost no one would not be tempted.
Nine-turn Heavenly Lotus?
Su Lijin was slightly surprised. She had heard of this thing before. It was said to be some kind of magical herb with miraculous healing effects.
However, she was not very clear about its specific medicinal uses, she only knew that it was indeed a rare treasure.
Unexpectedly, the National Medical Hall invested heavily in organizing the competition this time.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I have to go back and ask Master about this."
"Well, I'll leave you my invitation to the competition and then I'll take my leave."
The people at the National Medical Hall seemed very confident that Su Lijin would agree. They smiled, put down the invitation letter, and left.
Watching their backs as they left, Su Lijin was thinking about the Nine-Turn Heavenly Lotus in her heart, and thought to herself that it would be better to ask Lu Bingqian first this time.
After returning to the palace, she did not stay and went directly to the Imperial Hospital.
Everyone in the Imperial Hospital was busy with their own things. Lu Bingqian was in his place, arranging the herbs on the shelves.
He was wearing the usual attire of an imperial physician, and looked very thin and tall.
This was the scene Su Lijin saw when she went there.
Whenever Lu Bingqian came to see him, he was either sorting herbs or reading medical books. He was truly a complete medical fanatic.
It is precisely because of his obsession with medical skills and his painstaking research into medical skills that he is known as a miracle doctor in this life.
Thinking of this, Su Lijin's eyes were filled with infinite respect.
"Doctor Lu, let me help you organize them." She walked over and helped Lu Bingqian classify the herbs.
Lu Bingqian looked at her and seemed to have noticed something. While tidying up, he asked, "Is there something wrong, Madam?"
He did not let Su Lijin stop. After all, Su Lijin was also learning medicine from him, and more contact with herbs would also help improve her medical skills.
"Sure enough, I can't escape the master's eyes." She smiled lightly, revealing some of the cleverness of a disciple.
The two of them didn't actually spend much time together as master and disciple. Most of the time, they interacted as queen and imperial physician, which made their daily interactions much more restrained.
But there is no other way around this. Palace etiquette must be followed first in the palace.
She paused and said, "The National Medical Hall is holding a miracle doctor competition and wants me to participate."
"If Your Majesty is interested, you can give it a try. Everything is up to Your Majesty's wishes." Lu Bingqian said in a gentle voice.
Hearing this, Su Lijin nodded slowly: "I heard from them that the first place in this competition can get their treasure, the Nine-Transformation Heavenly Lotus."
As she spoke, she saw Lu Bingqian's hand pause slightly, but it was not obvious. He quickly and naturally picked up the herbs as usual.
Su Lijin almost thought she was seeing things.
"What are the effects of the Nine-Transformation Heavenly Lotus? I only remember that it has miraculous healing effects, but I don't know the specifics."
"The Nine-Transformation Heavenly Lotus can treat many diseases, including diseases of the five internal organs and six bowels, as well as some poisoning diseases."
As Lu Bingqian spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and knocked Su Lijin on the head: "It seems that you haven't read the book carefully. You don't even know the effects of such a famous herb. Why don't you review it carefully?"
When her master pointed out that she was not studying hard enough, Su Lijin stuck out her tongue. She really couldn't refute it. It was true that she didn't even know much about the Nine-Transformation Heavenly Lotus. She was indeed not a hardworking disciple.
However, after being hit just now, she felt the relationship between master and disciple even more deeply.
“Ahem…”
Lu Bingqian put down the herbs and coughed rapidly a few times. The cough was so fierce that it seemed as if he was going to cough out his lungs, which immediately attracted Su Lijin's concerned gaze.
"Doctor Lu, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, just a cold." He waved his hand.
However, Su Lijin noticed that his face looked inexplicably gloomy, and she felt uneasy. She quickly pulled him back and said, "Master, let me take a look at you."
"Need not……"
Lu Bingqian wanted to refuse, but she held his wrist and he had to stand in front of her and let her take his pulse.
Su Lijin placed her finger on the pulse and concentrated on feeling it, but her brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Finally, her face changed drastically and she looked at Lu Bingqian in surprise.
At this moment, there was even a hint of panic in her eyes, which was the anxiety when facing a serious illness.
"Your five internal organs are failing. How could your illness be so serious?"
