Chu Changying felt extremely anxious all the way to the East Palace.
When he was led outside Guangming Palace by his attendants, it was already completely dark.
Today's dinner was cooked by Lu Jinshu himself.
Ling Shumo drank the last mouthful of soup from the bottom of the bowl. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said, "It's been a while since you got married. Tomorrow I'll accompany you to the Taifu Mansion to make up for the fact that you returned home three days ago."
Lu Jinshu leaned forward slightly to thank Ling Shumo.
It can be said that it is a great honor that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is willing to accompany him back home as a concubine.
However, what Ling Shumo had in mind when she went to see Master Lu this time is not something that can be told to outsiders.
When Chu Changying came in, he happened to run into a servant carrying out a plate of leftovers.
The soup at the bottom of the plate almost splashed all over Chu Changying. The servant was frightened and turned pale. He kept apologizing to Chu Changying, looking like he was about to cry.
Chu Changying kept saying "It's okay".
This little episode made him forget his fear for a short while, but the moment he saw Ling Shumo, Chu Changying's heart began to rise again.
Chu Changying lowered his head and greeted Ling Shumo and Lu Jinshu who were in front of him.
Chu Changying was just thinking about how to rationalize the Imperial Hospital's affairs. Just as his thoughts were coming to an end, he heard Ling Shumo's voice coming from the front of him, "Is it fun to dress up as a woman?"
Chu Changying's heart skipped a beat, and his brain froze at that moment.
It's over. The fact that he hid his gender from Ling Shumo has been exposed. Will he be dragged out and beheaded by the man in front of him?
The system's voice, long silent, now sounded cheerful. "Host, the Infatuation Pill from the Novice Gift Pack is still quietly nestling in your backpack. With just one command, I'll deliver this pill to your mouth."
I guarantee that after you take this pill, you will become naturally charming and make Ling Shumo fall in love with you.
At that time, not only will she not kill you, she will also take you into her harem.
Well begun is half done. I believe that with our joint efforts, you will soon be the most favored person in the world and reach the pinnacle of your life.
Then, my year-end bonus will double, I will marry a beautiful, wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of my life...'
Chu Changying's heart, which had been pounding with panic, now calmed down completely. It took all his lifelong virtue to keep from immediately bursting into a rage. "Get lost! Even if I'm beheaded today, I won't sell my body for glory. A true man, born between heaven and earth, how can he bend his knees to the oppression of the powerful?"
The system was silent for a moment, then asked sincerely, "Then why are you kneeling on the ground now?"
Chu Changying's forehead touched the ground at the fastest speed, and the sound made Ling Shumo frown.
"Your Highness, please calm down. I didn't mean to deceive you. I... I..." Chu Changying got stuck when he said this.
He is really not good at making up lies.
Ling Shumo's expression was quite gentle. "Don't be so nervous. Get up first. We can sit down and talk later if you have anything to say."
The servant placed an extremely delicate and soft cushion on the chair opposite Ling Shumo, which meant that he was giving her a seat.
Chu Changying was still trembling with fear and did not dare to sit down.
He spoke very confidently in front of the system and did not like this world where women were superior to men, but if the Crown Princess really wanted to sentence him to death, he found that he still had a little attachment to the world.
To sum it up in one sentence, he is still afraid of death.
Ling Shumo didn't force Chu Changying to sit down anymore. She looked at Chu Changying without blinking, "Do you want to work in the Imperial Hospital?"
Chu Changying raised his head in a daze.
Lu Jinshu looked at the obvious bruise on Chu Changying's forehead and almost couldn't help but want to touch his own forehead. Just by looking at it, he felt pain for Chu Changying.
Ling Shumo still looked at Chu Changying very intently, "Chu Changying, if you want to work in the Imperial Hospital, I can take care of all the formalities and matters concerning your male identity for you.
I can even let you directly enter the Imperial Pharmacy so that you will have the opportunity to serve His Majesty in the future.
You only need to answer one question now: do you want to go or not?"
Chu Changying's eyes widened, his lips trembling, and he felt that he couldn't understand what Ling Shumo said. "Tongzi, am I hallucinating?"
Before Chu Changying could get a reply from the system, he saw Ling Shumo nearby.
Ling Shumo had arrived in front of Chu Changying without him knowing. The distance between them was only a few inches. Chu Changying felt that he could even see the smallest pores on Ling Shumo's face.
Chu Changying's Adam's apple rolled, "I...I want to go to the Imperial Hospital..."
He wanted to work in the Imperial Medical Service very much.
Chu Changying studied traditional Chinese medicine in college. After traveling to this world where yin and yang are reversed, he also read many medical books of that time.
But the most important and core things will not be easily passed on by those doctors.
It's different here than in modern times. The rule people follow here is "teach your apprentice and starve yourself". No matter what industry or profession, the masters always like to keep a secret.
But these are not the most important things.
The sword hanging over his head, preventing him from making progress, is the gender barrier that he cannot overcome no matter how hard he tries.
Ling Shumo sat back in her seat, a glint in her eyes that was barely noticeable to outsiders. "I understand. You can stay in the East Palace first. I'll have someone notify you once I've arranged everything."
