Open a clinic
Zhou Ningning walked to a place not far from the front door of her home. Looking at the tightly closed door, she had a bad feeling and decisively took a few more steps and entered the Lin Mansion.
When Lin Yan saw Zhou Ningning coming to find him, he said in surprise: "Where have you been today? Your mother even came to me to look for you."
"My mother didn't say anything, right?" Zhou Ningning asked nervously.
"I persuaded your mother to go back and told her not to worry. I know you have been in a bad mood these days. I guess you went out to relax. Tell me, has anything bothered you recently?" Lin Yan asked lazily, lying on the chair.
"Sister, I want to drink," Zhou Ningning said in a muffled voice.
Lin Yan sat up straight and said, "I really have something worrying. It seems that this is not a small matter. Wait."
After saying that, Lin Yan opened the cabinet, handed a jar of wine to Zhong Ningning, and reminded her: "Only drink a few sips, don't get drunk."
Zhou Ningning took a sip and frowned because it was bitter, but she swallowed it and said, "Sister, why do you all have things you want to do, but I have nothing."
Lin Yan: “Why do you say that?”
Zhong Ningning: "Brother Lin Yi wants to be an official, Brother Xie has his own mission, Zhang Bai has also done something meaningful, and my sister will return to the martial arts world to avenge her enemies. Only I don't know what the future holds. My mother wants me to get married, but I don't want to get married now."
Lin Yan thought for a while and said, "Aning, do you still remember why you wanted to study medicine?"
"What do you mean by studying medicine? Do I know any medical skills?" Zhou Ningning asked subconsciously.
"Aning, your brain is rusty. What are you talking about? Could it be that you have forgotten your medical skills?" Lin Yan asked in confusion.
For a moment, Lin Yan saw a hint of confusion in Zhou Ningning's eyes, and quickly shook Zhou Ningning, "Aning, Aning".
Zhou Ningning came back to her senses and answered Lin Yan's original question: "Of course it's to heal my sister."
Lin Yan asked tentatively, "Aning, what did you say last time?"
Zhong Ningning thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to get married, right?"
Lin Yan suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and continued the previous topic.
"What happened next?"
"What happened later?" Zhong Ningning wondered.
Lin Yan said patiently: "You saved so many people later. Did you study medicine just to heal me?"
"Yes, I later realized that saving people was a very happy thing. Everyone I saved praised me as a living Bodhisattva. I was very excited at that time."
Zhou Ningning recalled her experiences in the martial arts world with Lin Yan, "Sister, it's so strange, why did I begin to vaguely forget my medical skills after returning to Beijing?"
"Maybe he has experienced too many things in Beijing," Lin Yan changed the subject and patiently guided: "So, Aning, do you have anything you want to do?"
The idea of "I want to open a clinic" came into Zhou Ningning's mind.
She had this idea when she was traveling around the world with her elder sister, but it was too difficult for a woman to open a clinic in the world, and she didn't know martial arts, so she gave up the idea.
Later, when she returned to Beijing, if someone with ulterior motives discovered that it was related to her master, it would bring her countless troubles, so she would never do this again.
"Then do it," Lin Yan said
Zhou Ningning said worriedly: "I saved the grandson of Duke Xin before, but my sister didn't let them spread the news. She was afraid that my medical skills would arouse people's fear. Would opening a clinic bring danger?"
"It doesn't matter whether it happens or not. In the capital, you have your brother Xie, Lin Yi, me, and your mother. No one can do anything to you, so just go for it," Lin Yan encouraged.
Zhou Ningning nodded, "But what about my mother..."
"Don't worry, I'm here, I'll go and persuade him."
Lin Yan followed Zhou Ningning into the mansion. When Zhou saw Zhou Ningning coming back, she said nothing, and even asked her kindly whether she had had dinner.
Zhou Ningning felt awkward, so she replied that she had eaten and hurried back to her yard. Before leaving, she glanced at Lin Yan, waited for her nod, and then ran away.
"Aunt Zhou, I want to talk to you about Aning," Lin Yan said.
"Okay, follow me."
The two sat together, and Zhou spoke first: "Am I too dismissive of Ningning's ideas? I knew she didn't want to get married, but I forced her to look for a date."
"You're right, you just hope Aning has a good home," Lin Yan comforted her, "but you also know Aning's personality. She is not someone that an ordinary family can control. You also know in your heart that she is not suitable to live in a deep mansion."
"But if she doesn't get married, who will be able to protect her when I'm gone in the future?" Zhou worried.
Lin Yan: "You don't know what kind of person Aning is. Who can let her suffer? If she marries a bad man in the future, she will be the one who suffers."
Zhou: "But if she doesn't get married, what will she do in the future?"
"Aning said she wanted to open a clinic and she likes to save people," said Lin Yan.
Zhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Miss Lin, you are joking. When did Aning learn medical skills?"
Lin Yan's heart tightened, and he stared at Zhou without making any expression, "Hasn't Aunt Zhou known about An Ning's medical skills for a long time?"
After Zhou said that abnormally, she seemed to have forgotten what she said. Like Aning, she answered Lin Yan's previous question, "In this respect, she is very similar to her grandfather, but didn't her grandfather end up like this in the end? I'm worried about Ningning..."
Lin Yan felt even more strange in her heart, but she did not show it and continued: "Aning is different. She does not serve as an official in the court. She just runs a clinic. In the capital, no one can hurt her."
"Besides, she still has me as her elder sister. If anyone bullies her in the future, we will do our best to support her. Aning can do whatever she wants," Lin Yan continued to persuade.
Thinking of the person she married and what she had experienced, Zhou finally sighed, "I will not force Ningning to marry anymore. Let her do whatever she wants."
After the two finished chatting, Zhou went to find Zhou Ningning. Seeing that his mission was completed, Lin Yan returned home.
In a place where no one could see, Lin Yan's face turned cold. She was right. Aning gradually neglected her medical skills. If she hadn't reminded her, Aning would have almost forgotten that her favorite thing was to study medicine.
Lin Yan recalled when it started and it should have been in the past two days. After all, Aning had taken Tang Yuelin's pulse a few days ago.
If time goes on and no one notices, will everyone forget that Aning is a doctor?
Lin Yan thought of Zhong Yuxi, who was closely related to this matter.
It was Zhong Yuxi who caused the strange behavior of Zhou Ningning and others. During this period of time, everyone looked at her with contempt when she walked on the street. Over time, she stopped going out and locked herself at home.
Gu Shi often came to comfort her, but the more he did so, the more irritated Zhong Yuxi became. She looked down on Gu Shi's status, but was also fascinated by Gu Shi's gentleness, and was in a dilemma.
Zhong Yuxi couldn't go out and could only study her luck value. In the past year, her luck value had not increased at all and was still 30% of what she had gotten when she first came.
The content of the book ended with the story of the newly crowned top scholar Liu Qingfeng. She was worried about what to do next. Now she only had one chance to get luck points.
Zhong Yuxi suddenly saw that on the last page of the book it was written that if one made a wish with equivalent luck points, one could obtain something of equivalent value. This meant that...
She suppressed her inner excitement and thought about things that were valuable to her. If she could always have Zhou Ningning's medical skills, wouldn't she be as famous as Doctor Zhao?
Zhong Yuxi kept thinking about exchanging his medical skills for Zhou Ningning's, and his luck value dropped by 15%. He felt pain for a moment.
But medical knowledge kept flooding into her mind, and she immediately became excited. It really worked.
Unfortunately, her happiness didn’t last long. The knowledge gushed out of her brain like a fountain, and her luck value also returned. Zhong Yuxi was so angry that she threw the book away, calling him a liar.
Still not satisfied, Zhong Yuxi stomped on the book a few more times, but it was of no use. He secretly made up his mind that he would definitely defeat Liu Qingfeng this time.
Under Lin Yan's persuasion and Zhou Ningning's insistence, Zhou opened a medical clinic in the capital, named Ning'an Medical Clinic.
When Duke Xin's Mansion learned that Zhou Ningning had opened a clinic, Xu rushed over to congratulate them. When she learned that they did not intend to hide Zhou Ningning's medical skills, she helped them promote her medical skills.
Everyone in the capital knew that Zhou Ningning of the Zhou family had cured the terminal illness of the grandson of Duke Xin. Some people thought they were exaggerating, while some patients who could not be cured also tried to go to Ning'an Medical Clinic, hoping to give it a try.
What no one expected was that there was nothing that Zhou Ningning could not cure, and people went to Ning'an Medical Clinic in an endless stream afterwards. Of course, this is only a story for later.
Ning'an Clinic had just opened. Although it had the support of Duke Xin's Mansion, many people still did not believe in it. They did not believe that a young girl could be very capable, so few people came to the clinic.
Although there were few people, Zhou Ningning was very happy. Now that her mother had given her this clinic, she could do whatever she wanted.
She planned to keep the clinic open regardless of whether anyone came or not. It was very safe here and she had many people behind her. She didn't have to worry about who the patient was when she treated him. It was up to her whether he wanted to be treated or not. She didn't have to worry about being hated by others. After all, smart people knew not to cause trouble for Zhou Ningning easily.
Counting the time, Zhang Bai has now entered the Empress Dowager's palace, and it is unknown how the progress is.
Empress Dowager's Palace
The Empress Dowager sat at the top, her hands painted with red ink clasped together, looking at Zhang Bai kneeling on the ground with interest. Oh no, at this moment his name should be Zhou Baimu.
"Do you have any skills?" the Queen Mother asked.
Zhou Baimu replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I know how to use poison."
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, I haven't heard your father mention it."
Zhou Baimu came in as Zhou Qi's youngest son, but before that Zhou Qi had never mentioned that Zhou Baimu was good at poison.
"I hid it from my father. I learned how to make poison secretly. My poison must be a hundred times better than medical skills." It would be easier to make up some stories to make the Empress Dowager believe it.
"You are so confident. What do you want to do by telling me all this?" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and became interested in the child in front of her.
Zhou Baimu looked up at the Empress Dowager, his eyes full of ambition, "I want to make a deal with the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager tapped her teacup and said, "You are completely different from your father Zhou Qi."
Zhou Baimu's heart tightened when he heard this, but the Queen Mother's next sentence let him know that he had won the bet, "But you miss your grandfather very much."
Before coming, Zhou Baimu asked Zhou Qi to tell him why Mr. Zhou was targeted by the Empress Dowager.
Zhou Qi recalled: "At that time, I was still a little medicine boy beside my father. My father was not yet a first-rank imperial physician, but he had good medical skills and firmly believed that he could become the number one in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Later, somehow, he was noticed by the Empress Dowager and gradually became a first-rank imperial physician. Because of this, he made a big mistake."
Zhou Baimu guessed that the Empress Dowager saw the ambition in Mr. Zhou's eyes, so he acted like he wanted to climb up the ladder.
Zhou Baimu said: "Of course, my father is timid and cowardly and can never accomplish anything great. I want to be a first-rank imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau like my grandfather."
"If you really have the ability, why don't you join Song Yizhou? He can also let you sit in that position," the Queen Mother asked tentatively.
"Your Highness, you are joking. If I surrender to the Regent, I will be dead. Besides, the reason His Majesty is in that position is because of the Regent. I don't like him."
Because of the relationship with Lin Yan and others, Zhou Baimu and Song Jing met several times, gradually became familiar with each other, and had a good relationship.
Zhou Baimu thought to himself: "I'm sorry, Brother Song Jing, I didn't mean to belittle you."
"You have vision and courage." The Queen Mother was obviously pleased and laughed. "Show me your abilities. I want to see what you are worth."
Zhou Baimu: "I want the two strong men beside Your Highness to come over."
"allow"
Without waiting for the two strong men to react, Zhou Baimu scattered the powder in his sleeves, and the two strong men fell down instantly and crawled on the ground in pain.
The Empress Dowager looked at Zhou Baimu with curiosity, "What is this? It's so powerful."
"This is a poison I made. No matter how powerful the opponent is, he will fall in one breath."
"Okay, give them the antidote." The Queen Mother waved her hand, believing in Zhou Baimu's strength.
“There is no antidote for this poison”
"What did you say?" The Queen Mother stood up instantly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Those two were the guards I trained with great effort, and they died just like that."
Zhou Baimu said calmly with a cold tone: "Your Highness, don't worry. Is a poison with an antidote still poison? I don't believe that Your Highness only has these two capable men."
The Queen Mother realized that she had lost her composure and rubbed her eyebrows: "Forget it, you can leave."
She didn't notice that Zhou Baimu's mouth curled up slightly. Of course, there was an antidote to this poison, but when he saw the patterns on the backs of the two men's hands, he didn't want to keep them.
The Empress Dowager looked at the two dead men in the audience and suddenly realized that Zhou Baimu was uncontrollable, but she was also relieved that this man was cruel enough to do things for them.
Zhou Baimu is the real Zhang Bai. He usually appears in front of Lin Yan and others only as he wants them to see him. Zhang Bai doesn't want any of them to see his true face.
like
If Lin Yan had not brought him back to the capital, he might have found the right opportunity to avenge his father personally. However, he met Lin Yan and his people, who were a group of upright and kind people, and he did not seem to be very upright.
This is the Lord Baimu that Tang Yuelin knows, not the innocent-looking child Zhang Bai.
It is not easy for Lin Yan to find out the news about Zhang Bai, but no news is the best news. Xiao Bai should have passed the first hurdle now. The Empress Dowager should believe that he is a child of the Zhou family.
Everyone's worries about Zhang Bai were relieved, and they all praised Zhang Bai for his abilities.
Tang Yuelin curled the corners of her mouth. If Zhang Bai was really Lord Baimu, then there was nothing to worry about. Now she just hoped that there was some misunderstanding in the previous life and Aning's death had nothing to do with him.
