With a ready-made scapegoat right there, Yu Zizhen wasn't worried at all that her series of actions would expose her true intentions.
After a delicious lunch and a nap, Yu Zizhen got up in high spirits and took a bus to the examination hall for the martial arts examination again.
In the afternoon's horse archery and carbine competitions, more people were eliminated than in the morning's weightlifting and foot archery competitions. The main reason was that few people in Da Qi could afford to raise horses.
However, those who were eliminated do not have to worry about not being selected. Even if their riding, archery, and carbine skills are not as good as others, with their performance in the morning as a foundation, they can still occupy a position at the end of the list.
If they can get good results in the written test and practical exercises of the art of war tomorrow, they might be able to compete for a middle position on the list.
As for the top twenty or thirty positions on the list, that is not what they should think about. Those only belong to the best who are strong in everything.
The afternoon competition began under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Just like in the morning, Yu Zizhen squinted her eyes to watch the competition while letting the baby-voice system read to her the contents of the medical book she had just exchanged.
Everyone didn't know that she was actually distracted and thought she was watching the martial arts examination for the first time and was fascinated by it.
Everyone, including Xiao Yuanjin, was considerate enough not to disturb her. Even when they were discussing who performed well, they deliberately lowered their voices.
This situation continued until the afternoon assessment was completely over, and Yu Zizhen stretched and stood up.
"Will you come tomorrow?" Fang Huaiying asked Xiao Yuanjin and Yu Zizhen before leaving.
Tomorrow morning, these candidates will take a written test on military tactics, which is not very interesting. The application of military tactics in the afternoon is quite interesting, but the venue here will not be enough by then. The Ministry of War will temporarily move the examination room to the military camp outside the city, and that place is not a place they can set foot in casually.
"I'm not coming." Xiao Yuanjin was pretending to be unable to walk. The written test looked boring, and he would inevitably have difficulty moving if he left the city, so he simply gave up watching.
Yu Zizhen also shook his head. "I won't come either. I want to organize some people to arrange some free clinics for myself while I don't have classes."
Chen Hushan turned his head quickly and asked, "You can already diagnose patients?" This is too fast!
Yu Zizhen spread his hands and said, "I have already memorized the medical texts, and the next step is practical application."
Medical technology was extremely underdeveloped in that era, and there were only a few medical books. Yu Zizhen had memorized them all last month. As for the ones she exchanged from the system, which were inconvenient for others to know, she could only memorize them secretly.
In this case, she must of course arrange practical opportunities for herself step by step.
The doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau either treat people in the palace or high-ranking officials. But Yu Zizhen is unwilling to go to the palace or the officials' residences. So she can only rely on herself and go outside to provide free medical treatment to poor people.
Yang Shixian didn't know the ins and outs of this, so he asked Yu Zizhen, "Why don't you see the patients already in the Imperial Hospital, but insist on running a free clinic yourself?"
Yu Zizhen spread his hands. "The dignitaries who are really sick don't trust me to see them, while those who are not sick still come to me for pulse diagnosis. What do you think their intentions are?"
The status of doctors in Da Qi was originally low. Those imperial physicians with outstanding medical skills could at least get some respect. For an apprentice like her who had not yet completed her apprenticeship, if she did not also have the identity of the Prince of Zhenbei, those dignitaries would not let her get within three feet (10 meters) of them.
But it was her identity as the Prince of Zhenbei that attracted a group of perverts to her.
The little baby-voice system often heard them talking in private, imagining how they would order her around once they got to the Imperial Hospital, asking her to check their pulse, do moxibustion, decoct medicine, and so on. In short, they wanted to treat her like an ordinary apprentice to satisfy their secret desire to be superior to her, humiliate her, and step on her.
But they just didn't dare to offend her too much, so these people reluctantly removed the tasks of having her serve tea and water, and assist with medication.
But even so, Yu Zizhen was still disgusted by them.
She was a military doctor in her previous life. As a qualified doctor, she didn't mind the patient's identity, but that didn't mean she had to hold her nose and satisfy those people's twisted minds.
No one present was stupid. After Yu Zizhen said this, everyone immediately understood why Yu Zizhen chose the long way around instead of the near.
For a moment, everyone's faces turned very ugly.
Although some of them have different positions from Yu Zizhen, and they may not only have conflicts of interest with each other in the future, but may even fight to the death at some point, they will never use such despicable means or have such despicable thoughts.
Seeing them like this, Yu Zizhen quickly turned around and tried to persuade them, "Oh, I won't be fooled by them."
Not only would she not be fooled, she also had the baby voice system blacklist all those people. Even if they were really sick or injured in the future, she would not provide them with medical treatment.
Yes, she is so petty.
A group of people separated at the entrance of the examination hall. The others went home, while Yu Zizhen went to arrange the free medical consultation on his own.
For his first free medical consultation, Yu Zizhen did not randomly choose a place or some people.
The next day, Yu Zizhen brought Doctor Feng, the palace physician, and the two of them, escorted by many guards and attendants, went to a dilapidated temple in the west of the city.
The west of the city is the slum area of the capital. Apart from ordinary people without permanent property, the only people living here are homeless young and old beggars.
Anyone who is strong enough to compete with other beggars for territory will not stay in the slums where begging is difficult and the income is extremely low.
Yu Zizhen knew that even if all of them were wearing casual clothes, the strong guards and attendants around her would still make ordinary people in the slums feel wary.
They were afraid of getting into trouble, so even if they were really sick, they would definitely not dare to come to Yu Zizhen for free medical treatment.
But the young beggars were different from the old beggars. She only needed a pot of fragrant dumpling soup to attract them to rush to hold out their wrists so that she could take their pulses.
It was not until she directed them to set up several large pots, put the prepared batter, diced vegetables, and salt into the pots, crack eggs and sprinkle the egg liquid into the pots, that Yu Zizhen's servants understood why their prince asked them to bring the ingredients and large pots.
It turns out that her so-called free clinic is actually about luring people with money and even giving them some food...
But they had to admit that Yu Zizhen's unconventional approach was really effective.
In the brief moment when the big pot was set up and the aroma of food gradually wafted out, those dirty kids who had been cowering and hiding far away, watching them cautiously, actually thought they were moving covertly and quietly moved to a position only about a shot's length away from the big pot.
