Chapter 143 Apology



Opportunity?

The apprentice named Xiahou didn't understand what was going on and just stared with his eyes wide open.

Wu Qing lowered his head and muttered to himself.

There was no one around, so she pulled her apprentice to a corner to talk.

"You just have to do this... this... and then that... that."

After she finished, she asked the apprentice: "Do you remember it? Do you need me to say it again?"

The apprentice nodded first, indicating that he had kept Wu Qing's words in mind.

Then he asked Wu Qing in great confusion: "Mr. Ji, can the prescription you mentioned really save people from danger?"

Wu Qing said confidently: "This medicine is definitely a miracle drug!"

[A life-saving medicine only for the heroine.] She added silently in her heart.

Although the apprentice was somewhat excited, he still felt it was a little strange.

He kept analyzing the prescription in his mind.

No matter how he thought about it, these herbs... no, these weeds together seemed to have no effect at all.

The apprentice couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This... is this really used to treat illnesses? Why does it look to me like a bunch of weeds put together without any order?"

Could it be that his medical skills are really this bad?

The apprentice lost confidence.

Wu Qing said earnestly: "The art of medicine is profound and extensive. Sometimes, psychological treatment is more important than the efficacy of drugs."

"Please believe me, really. It was me who helped cure the Queen's illness." Wu Qing said sincerely.

Apprentice Xiahou asked back, "Isn't that what Liu Yuanzheng is treating?"

"…Even if you don't believe me, you might as well give it a try. The production of this sachet won't cost you too much money. If it's really useless, I'm willing to buy it from you at double the price. You won't suffer any loss."

[I don’t have any way to find these flowers and plants.]

Wu Qing thought sadly, [Otherwise, I would definitely accept the favor from the heroine. ]

Apprentice Xiahou fell into deep thought.

He weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally nodded slowly and agreed reluctantly.

This is because Concubine Ji has some knowledge of medicine.

Wu Qing whispered something to him, walked around the winding corridor and returned to the inner room.

The blood-stained gauze was scattered messily on the table.

The air was filled with a strong herbal smell, which completely covered the bloody smell.

Director Liu was bending over, carefully putting the bottles and jars back in their original places.

Prince Ding's left hand was wrapped in thick gauze and tied like a dumpling.

The man raised his left hand in a daze.

He tried to twist his wrist, but the fabric restricted his movement.

A shallow scratch ran across Prince Ding's brow, as if he was somewhat disgusted with Liu Yuanzheng's bandaging aesthetics.

In the end, he didn't say anything, just sighed softly and put his hands back on the table.

Wu Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Such a handsome man has a sticky hand, which is particularly funny.

Prince Ding put down his left hand and looked at her helplessly.

Liu Yuanzheng took out another exquisite jade porcelain bottle and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, your wrist still needs medicine. Please wait a moment."

Prince Ding lowered his sleeves to cover the red circle pinched by Wu Qing.

He shook his head slightly, smiled and said no.

Liu Yuanzheng tried to persuade him again, but Prince Ding continued to decline: "It's just a few minor injuries, no need for medicine."

Liu Yuanzheng could only smile stiffly.

Okay, as long as you and Lady Ji are happy.

He stuffed the jade porcelain bottle back into the wooden box, picked up the box, and said with a formal smile: "In this case, I will take my leave first. If Your Majesty feels uncomfortable, just inform Vice Dean Wang."

Wu Qing waved goodbye to him: "Thank you, Yuanzheng, I will look for you next time."

After hearing this, Liu Yuanzheng pulled a stiffer smile on his face and fled in panic.

When he walked to the gate of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Vice Dean Wang just arrived.

Today, Vice Dean Wang is still as energetic as ever. At 38 years old, he is in his prime, a generation younger than Dean Liu.

His family has a profound academic background. Five generations of his ancestors have been practicing medicine, and three of them have been imperial physicians.

Liu Yuanzheng used to be somewhat averse to him.

Deputy Dean Wang is young and has excellent medical skills. Perhaps in the near future, the position of Dean will be handed over to him.

In front of the door, Vice Dean Wang's eyes fell on Dean Liu.

Seeing Dean Liu's staggering steps and tired expression, Deputy Dean Wang's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Director Liu, have you encountered any difficult disease?" he asked with concern.

Liu Yuanzheng gave a bitter smile.

It’s hard to put it into words.

He patted Vice Dean Wang on the shoulder and had a lot to say to the young man.

"Prince Ding and Lady Ji are in the inner room, you..."

Liu Yuan was about to open his mouth, but stopped when the words came to his lips. He didn't know where to start.

Vice Dean Wang was even more worried when he saw him stuttering. "Dean? Are you okay?"

"Ah... this is a long story. The affairs between Concubine Ji and Prince Ding are not something we can easily interfere in."

Liu Yuanzheng stroked his long beard and sighed, "Just pretend you are deaf. If necessary, pretend you are blind."

Vice Dean Wang was a little confused and didn't take Dean Liu's words seriously.

Weren’t there enough times when you were deaf and blind in the palace?

He guessed that these two people had some conflicts in the inner room and said some unpleasant words, which made Liu Yuanzheng feel frightened.

Vice Dean Wang smiled and responded, "Thank you for your hard work, Dean. Leave the rest to me."

Liu Yuanzheng took a deep look at the young man, shook his head and left.

Hey, young people are young people!

Anyway, he has already advised him, so it depends on how much Vice Dean Wang can understand.

The curtains are lightly drawn, isolating the noise from inside and outside.

Only Wu Qing and Prince Ding were left in the inner room, sitting opposite each other.

The imperial doctors and apprentices were all gathered in the front hall. Their voices were barely audible, almost swallowed up by the cold wind.

The winter wind whistled through the gaps in the window frames, making slight creaking sounds from time to time.

Prince Ding spoke at this time: "My lord, there is no one around, let's talk."

Wu Qing has always felt that Prince Ding has two voices.

One is gentle and magnetic, very suitable for the affectionate second male lead in TV dramas.

One is cold and light, like the first snow falling on the top of the cedar.

But now his tone was distant and calm, obviously the latter.

Wu Qing nodded slightly, clasped his hands across his chest, and looked straight at him.

"Of course, my lord."

She said calmly, "I also think we need to talk."

If Prince Ding wants to talk, Wu Qing will naturally accompany him.

This person has bad intentions and extremely bad luck. Nothing good will happen if you meet him.

Wu Qing thought that no matter what Prince Ding said, she would find a way to reject him and reduce contact with him.

Come on! Let's fight!

She will definitely not run away today!

What Wu Qing never expected was that the first words Prince Ding said were: "I'm sorry."

She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and her fighting spirit suddenly stopped.

【ah?】

Prince Ding moved his fingers and took off the jade pendant from his waist.

The jade pendant is about the length of the index finger and is oval in shape. The jade is white, smooth and flawless.

What attracted Wu Qing most was the style of the jade.

——This is an exquisite rotating jade pendant.

Structurally, the jade pendant is divided into three layers: inner ring, middle ring and outer ring.

The inner ring is a pendant with four corners of flowers carved on it. The middle ring is engraved with regular floating cloud patterns, and the inner and outer edges are each engraved with a circle of string patterns, which are delicate and smooth. The outer ring is openwork with four spirit beasts, facing each other, with different expressions, and their tails connected.

The man lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell gently on the jade pendant, as if he was attached to it.

Then he raised his right hand and handed the jade pendant to Wu Qing.

"I was in a hurry to enter the palace and was unable to prepare more apology gifts. I can only use this jade to apologize to Lady Ji."

Wu Qing blinked, and blinked again.

[…Is he bribing me? He really spent a lot of money.]
