Ling Shumo stared at Bai Lin, the rage in her heart almost uncontrollable.
Just when she was about to get away with today's matter, this idiot suddenly jumped out and said that he wanted to find someone who was proficient in embroidery to verify the pattern.
Ling Shumo wanted to refute Bai Lin's words.
However, Shangguan Xu, who never mind taking risks, obviously didn't think so. His attendant Ru Mo had already taken a few steps forward, ready to check the purse in Ling Shujiao's hand.
Just as the atmosphere at the scene reached a stalemate, Shi Qi ran to the center of the field and loudly interrupted everyone's conversation, "Her Royal Highness's injury cannot be delayed. The doctor is here. We need to keep the air flowing here. Anyone who is not involved please leave immediately."
As the host of this gathering, the Third Princess bowed and apologized to Shangguan Ran and Shangguan Xu. "My eldest sister is seriously injured, so we'll leave her here to the doctors. If you don't mind, I have some delicious Chisha specialties carefully prepared in my tent. Would you be willing to come and taste them?"
Shangguan Xu still wanted to stay and join in the fun, but his sister Shangguan Ran pulled him aside and said with a smile to the Third Princess, "Your Highness the Third Prince is so kind and generous, my brother and I would be disrespectful to refuse."
Ling Shujiao was helped into the bed in the inner room.
Shi Qi locked the door from there.
Ling Shumo raised her hand and slapped Bai Lin, "You are such a brainless idiot. You have brought shame upon me."
Half of Bai Lin's cheek quickly swelled up and became congested. Ling Shumo's slap was so powerful that it made his ears buzz and even his vision blurry.
Lu Jinshu stood in Ling Shumo's blind spot and gave Bai Lin a disdainful smile.
Bai Lin's vision had just returned to clarity when he happened to see Lu Jinshu's undisguised sarcasm.
Bai Lin was so angry that he felt like he was choking on anger, but he didn't have the chance to do anything to Lu Jinshu.
Ling Shumo slapped Bai Lin on the other cheek again. She coldly ordered the servants, "Bai Lin is too talkative, arrogant and rude. From now on, he will be demoted to a commoner and sent back to his own courtyard. Without my permission, he will never leave the house again in his lifetime."
Bai Lin's eyes almost popped out of his head. He shook off the servant who was trying to pull him away and crawled to Ling Shumo's feet. "Your Highness, please forgive me this time. I don't know where I went wrong..."
Ling Shumo kicked him in the chest and frowned in disgust.
Shi Qi scolded loudly, "Why don't you take Bai Lin away quickly? Don't leave him in this room. You'll pollute the eyes of His Highness and the virtuous prince."
Bai Lin's begging for mercy stopped when a piece of rag was stuffed into his mouth. Until he was dragged out of the house like a dead dog, he didn't understand why he had fallen to this point.
After dealing with Bai Lin, Ling Shumo planned to go to the inner room to check on Ling Shujiao's injuries.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a familiar figure.
Ling Shumo was still a little unsure, so she walked around to the front of the man, "Chu Changying?"
Chu Changying, who had just treated Ling Shujiao's wound, froze on the spot. He paused for a long time before bowing respectfully, "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
When Ling Shumo heard him call himself, she asked in confusion, "Didn't I tell you to work in the Imperial Hospital? Why did you become a common doctor?"
Chu Changying didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He could only pretend to be very busy and carefully checked the gauze wrapped around Ling Shujiao's wound again.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is busy with all kinds of affairs and certainly doesn't have time to pay attention to him, such an insignificant person.
So, he took a chance.
He held Ling Shumo's letter of recommendation in his hand, but did not go to the Imperial Hospital.
Chu Changying had a hard time coming to the capital, so he planned to travel around for a while before returning to Luocheng.
He was about to leave today, but on the way he met a servant who was looking for a doctor. After being pulled all the way here, he realized that he was going to treat the eldest princess of the current dynasty.
He had been praying that he would not be so unlucky as to meet Ling Shumo.
But the worst result has now happened.
Ling Shujiao looked at Ling Shumo, then at Chu Changying. She asked curiously, "Do you two know each other?"
Ling Shumo said, "A large-scale plague broke out in Zhongdu, and the antidote to the plague was invented by Miss Chu."
Ling Shujiao immediately became interested in Chu Changying. "I didn't expect that the doctor my attendant picked up from the street would be such a talented person. So, why don't you want to work in the Imperial Hospital?"
Chu Changying was not a good liar. After being questioned by the two princesses one after another, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Lu Jinshu had been observing Chu Changying silently. The more he looked at this young master Chu, the more strange it seemed to him because she had a masculine appearance.
Lu Jinshu looked at the thin piece of silk wrapped around Chu Changying's neck. "There's a charcoal fire in this room. Miss Chu, are you still feeling cold? Why are you wearing a scarf?"
Chu Changying finally came across a question he could answer. He quickly bowed to Lu Jinshu and said, "In reply to your Excellency, I have a hideous scar on my neck, and I don't want to show it to others and scare them. So I've been keeping this piece of cloth in mind. It's not a scarf."
Lu Jinshu nodded thoughtfully, "I see."
Before Chu Changying said this, Lu Jinshu was not sure about his guess, but Chu Changying explained it so anxiously and skillfully that Lu Jinshu was convinced that he was actually a young master.
Ling Shumo didn't think about that at all. Just as she was about to ask Chu Changying again whether he was dissatisfied with the arrangement of going to the Imperial Hospital, she was gently pulled by Lu Jinshu beside her.
Although Ling Shumo was a little confused, she still said goodbye to Ling Shujiao and went out with Lu Jinshu.
After making sure that the people behind them couldn't hear them, Lu Jinshu lowered his voice and said, "It turns out that I was in a country farm with a..."
Lu Jinshu originally wanted to say that he had learned the art of sex change through makeup from a man who was once the top prostitute in a brothel, but when the words were on his lips, he abruptly changed his words, "I learned the art of sex change through makeup from a master I met by chance. If I am not mistaken, the Miss Chu who just bandaged His Highness's wound should actually be called Master Chu."
Ling Shumo was stunned by Lu Jinshu's words, but soon she smiled and said, "No wonder he showed no interest when I mentioned giving him a promotion. It's not that he doesn't seek fame and fortune, but his true gender can't afford it."
Ling Shumo said to Shi Qi, "After Chu Changying has bandaged the wound of the imperial sister, please invite him to the East Palace."
Lu Jinshu tilted his head to look at Ling Shumo's face, his eyes thoughtful.
