Chapter 65 Things Left Behind
"I'll eat." Caiyue raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears. She looked at Chu Liuzheng with red eyes and smiled slightly, "Thank you for taking care of me, sister."
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Chu Liuzheng breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not a big deal. I was worried that you'd hurt your throat after hearing you cough like this every day."
Caiyue put the medicine bag back on the table. "These medicines are not cheap. Sister, just tell me how much it cost, and I will return it to you in full."
Chu Liuzheng was silent for a moment, thinking that there was no need to ask again, and just think of it as her thanking Caiyue for going to Changchun Palace to report the news.
But after spending these days together, she had also gotten to know Caiyue's personality better. She knew that she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't take her money, so she said, "It's only six coins. You can eat it first, and then give me the money for the medicine when you're done."
Caiyue looked at the medicine in her hand. Based on the standard she had used when buying medicine these days, she knew it must be more than six cents.
But she really didn't have much savings.
She secretly took note of Chu Liuzheng's thoughtfulness and took out six cents of silver from her purse and gave it to her.
As the two were talking, they heard voices coming from outside. It was a man and a woman, gradually approaching this side.
Caiyue walked over and opened the door.
Yuzhui raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened. She was startled, but when she saw it was Caiyue, she smiled and said, "Doctor Liu came to change Liu Zheng's medicine. I happened to meet him and led him back home."
As she spoke, she called in the imperial physician Liu, who was a famous doctor.
Caiyue bowed to Doctor Liu and stepped aside, "Doctor Liu, please come in."
Doctor Liu didn't even look at her and went in with the medicine box on his back. If Caiyue hadn't retreated quickly, she would have been hit by the medicine box.
She pursed her lips, feeling angry but not daring to express it.
Yuzhui gently pulled Caiyue's hand, winked towards the room, and whispered, "I have to go to Wenhua Hall for duty. You keep a close eye on it."
Everyone in the harem knew that Doctor Liu was Concubine Rong's man.
Chu Liuzheng's rampage at Huaqing Palace had already spread throughout the palace, leading to Concubine Rong's imprisonment, a serious offense. It wasn't certain that Imperial Physician Liu, who had come to change the medicine, was harboring ulterior motives.
Caiyue knew the seriousness of this and nodded to Yuzhui, "Don't worry, sister, I'm here."
Yuzhui was a little surprised to see her agree so readily. He just smiled and hurried to Wenhua Hall to take up his duty.
If today's court meeting hadn't lasted a little longer, she wouldn't even have this moment of free time.
Caiyue turned around and went into the house without closing the door. She walked to the window and pushed it wide open, making sure that whatever was happening inside could be seen from outside.
Doctor Liu glanced at her with some dissatisfaction and scolded her, "The patient can't be exposed to the wind. Why did you push the window open like that? Close it quickly."
Caiyue just stood there motionless. "Doctor Wu told us to ventilate the room more."
Are you using Doctor Wu to pressure him?
Doctor Liu was furious when he heard this and was about to scold Caiyue again, but Chu Liuzheng suddenly gasped and cried out, "It hurts!"
Doctor Liu was shocked and had no time to scold Caiyue. He quickly lowered his head to look at Chu Liuzheng's hands.
Chu Liuzheng cried out in pain, but blinked at Caiyue in a playful manner.
She understood that Caiyue did this to avoid suspicion. After all, the imperial physician was not a eunuch, and such things had happened in the palace before. It was always better to be cautious so as not to give people a chance to talk about her.
Of course, this move also means to remind Doctor Liu.
Don't try to do anything in broad daylight.
Caiyue originally had a stern face, but after being teased by Chu Liuzheng, her expression softened.
She pursed her lips and winked at Chu Liuzheng.
Doctor Liu lowered his head, concentrating on changing the medicine in Chu Liuzheng's hand, and did not notice the eye contact between the two.
Chu Liuzheng turned his gaze away and looked at his hands.
He was already seriously injured, and after being smeared with the black paste, he became unbearable to look at.
She quickly turned her eyes away. It hurt even if she didn't look, and it hurt even more when she saw.
It’s better to keep it out of sight.
Seeing that she didn't dare to look, Caiyue walked over and lowered her head to carefully watch Doctor Liu's movements.
Don't make it too obvious that you're worried that Doctor Liu might be up to something.
How could Doctor Liu not see it?
I was immediately angry, thinking that the emperor had already ordered that the palace maid's hand be healed immediately and no scar be left. How could he knowingly do that?
Besides, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau discussed and considered it again and again, and finally wrote a suitable prescription.
If something happened to this palace maid in his hands, it would be tantamount to incurring public wrath. Even if His Majesty could forgive him after the incident, there would be no place for him in the Imperial Hospital.
The curse words rolled around in his mouth, but he swallowed them back.
Forget it. As long as he is still in the palace, he has to find the imperial physician when he is sick. Sooner or later, this little palace maid will come to him for help, and it will not be too late for him to settle his mistakes today then.
He looked up at Chu Liuzheng and warned, "Young lady, your injuries are serious. The Imperial Hospital has gathered all the doctors and used the best prescription. From now on, the doctor on duty will come to change the dressing for you every morning and evening. Young lady, please remember not to change the dressing on your own, and don't bump or bump the wound. Don't let it get wet. Take the decoction three times a day without interruption. I'll come back later."
"Thank you, Doctor Liu." Chu Liuzheng wrote it down carefully. "I can't get up, so I won't see you off."
Doctor Liu packed up his medicine box and said, "There's no need for you to send me off. Your hand is the most important thing right now. Just take good care of it."
Caiyue wanted to send him out, but Doctor Liu ignored her and left with his medicine box on his back.
Caiyue rolled her eyes at his back, but couldn't help thinking:
Imperial Physician Liu was so polite to Chu Liuzheng, but scolded and turned his back on her. Was it because His Majesty valued Chu Liuzheng?
If His Majesty also values her, would this imperial physician, whose chin is almost raised to the sky, also treat her with respect and greet her with a smile?
She couldn't stop thinking about this until she heard Chu Liuzheng calling her, then she came to her senses and went to close the door.

Wenhua Hall.
Zhou Yuande entered the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, Lady Zhu personally prepared a white fungus and snow pear soup and sent it to me. She is waiting outside the palace now. Would you like to see her?"
Xiao Jingfan lowered his head and circled the list of people going to sea that he had just discussed with the ministers. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard it, "Let her go back."
"What about the Tremella and Snow Pear Soup?"
Xiao Jingfan glanced at Zhu Zhou's name and paused, "Leave the things behind."
"Yes." Zhou Yuande turned around and went out.
Seeing him come out, Zhu Hanyu, holding a hand warmer, immediately went to greet him, "Eunuch Zhou, does His Majesty want to summon me in?"
Zhou Yuande held his whisk and said with a smile, "Your Majesty already knows the beauty's intentions, but Your Majesty is busy with government affairs at the moment and has no time to speak with the beauty. Please leave the things behind and return first."
The smile on Zhu Hanyu's face immediately fell, and he could not hide his disappointment.
She turned to look at Caizhu and said, "Give the food box to Eunuch Zhou."
Zhou Yuande took it and bowed to Zhu Hanyu. "It's windy today, my beauty, please go back quickly. When your majesty is free, he will come to see you."
Zhu Hanyu turned around and looked at the door of Wenhua Hall. Seeing that there was really no movement inside, he left disappointedly holding Caizhu's hand.
