Chapter 36 Chapter 36 I feel inferior and I’ve been hit hard.
Perhaps no one in the palace had ever spoken so bluntly, the young female doctor was stunned and said nothing.
At this time, another female doctor who had walked outside came in again. Seeing the "confrontation" between Tian Jiarou and Li Shuyao, she was obviously stunned. Then her eyes fell on Tian Jiarou's hand covering her cheek, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
Was this idiot beaten by people from the Palace of Heavenly Purity?
But... I didn't hear any slapping sounds outside just now.
The female doctor was puzzled for a few breaths, and finally, she remembered something, and her puzzled expression gradually turned into understanding.
If it's not beating, then it's pinching.
Who would have thought that this maidservant who served the emperor looked simple and weak, but could be so cruel when she attacked.
She clicked her tongue in her heart, walked up to Li Shuyao as if she didn't see anything, squatted down like Tian Jiarou, took out a small box of plaster, and applied the plaster to Li Shuyao gently and softly.
At the same time, he pushed Tian Jiarou away from Li Shuyao little by little without leaving any trace.
Seeing that she had applied the medicine, Li Shuyao grabbed Tian Jiarou's wrist and pulled her up from the ground with unyielding strength. With her other hand, she pointed to the empty seat next to her on the couch. Her eyes sparkled as she said to her, "Come and sit down, come and sit down. I have something to ask you."
The female doctor who was applying medicine to her paused and almost dropped the lid of the ointment box to the ground.
How come this is completely different from what she had thought before?
Her momentary loss of composure did not escape the eyes of Li Shuyao and Tian Jiarou.
Li Shuyao blinked her almond-shaped eyes and gave Tian Jiarou a playful look, as if to say, "Sit down quickly, you're going to piss her off to death!"
Tian Jiarou: ...
She suspected that she had seen it wrong.
But Li Shuyao's hands were patting the empty seat next to her more and more frequently, and she was still muttering, "Please sit down, don't be afraid, there's Nanny Lin outside, she's the best, she won't blame you. Let's ask the doctor and her to go back and report first, I'll find someone to take you back later."
"Don't worry, no one will say anything about you. If anyone dares to point fingers, I will ask Eunuch Liang to punish those people. Punish them... well, punish them by starving them for nine meals in three days!" Her eyes rolled, and she thought she had come up with a brilliant idea.
The female doctor who was still packing the ointment heard this and her hand suddenly trembled slightly.
Li Shuyao thought she had touched their sore spot. Food is the most important thing for people. If they are not given food, even the strongest person will starve to death.
She must be very scared of herself now, thinking that she might be an unforgivable villain.
So now that Tian Jiarou has her support, those people will definitely not dare to bully her anymore!
The female doctor quickened her pace to pack up the ointment and gauze, quickly bowed to her, and walked outside to report to the imperial physician.
After a while, two new boxes of plasters and gauze were brought in, and the usage and dosage were quietly explained. The attitude was extremely kind.
After saying that, she didn't dare to look at Tian Jiarou. She walked outside silently and said something to the imperial physician. The imperial physician then took her away alone.
Nanny Lin walked in and first glanced at Tian Jiarou, who was sitting next to Li Shuyao. Then she bent down to check the injury on Li Shuyao's knee. Reassured, she said to Li Shuyao in a gentle voice, "The wound is not very serious. It will heal after two days of rest and scab over."
"After the scab forms, it may be a little itchy. You must control your hands and not scratch it. It would be bad if it leaves scars."
Li Shuyao was like an obedient young bird. She nodded in agreement to everything Nanny Lin said. Her apricot blossom eyes blinked, and there was a shimmering light in her eyes.
After Nanny Lin finished her instructions, she glanced at Tian Jiarou and asked Li Shuyao, "Do you want her to come and serve you?"
Li Shuyao's expression brightened again. "Is it okay, Mammy?"
Nanny Lin pondered for a moment and said, "There's nothing wrong with that, but you need to ask her what she thinks..."
The emperor has now clearly shown some affection for Li Shuyao. In the future, he may take her into the harem and let her stay with Li Shuyao. She may not be as comfortable as she is in the Imperial Hospital.
Another reason is that Li Shuyao's personality is too lively, and her innocence hides some naivety of the world. If she enters the harem in the future, she will probably offend a lot of people, either openly or secretly.
The Emperor probably thought of this, so he didn't appoint her as an official sooner, but planned to train her well and then...
Otherwise, they wouldn't have invited Nanny Liang from the Empress Dowager's palace.
It was just a coincidence that Madam Liang only came to the Qianqing Palace for a visit that day and had not had the chance to meet Li Shuyao. Because of a sudden incident at home, she hurried out of the palace to deal with it.
So the emperor probably found a random excuse to detain Li Shuyao in his room, intending to keep her there until Nanny Liang returned to the palace. After Nanny Liang returned to the palace, she would start learning the rules.
Learning the rules is a tough job, a hundred times harder than working in the tea room.
I don’t know if Li Shuyao can hold on when the time comes, given her personality.
Therefore, Nanny Lin was very willing to fulfill some of her small wishes at this time, such as sending her more novel and interesting toys every few days, or some newly developed snacks from the imperial kitchen.
But it would not include sending an independent and complete person to her for her to "play with".
Nanny Lin didn't know that Li Shuyao was not doing this for "play".
Li Shuyao didn't know that Nanny Lin had misunderstood. When she heard Nanny Lin's words, her first reaction was to turn around and ask Tian Jiarou what she thought.
Tian Jiarou's expression was a little dazed, and she probably didn't understand why Li Shuyao took a fancy to her when she had just followed the imperial physician for an ordinary consultation.
What did Li Shuyao like about her? She was not good-looking, and she was humble, timid, and easily nervous. When she was nervous, she couldn't even speak clearly. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital often said that she was a useless person.
Other female doctors would often laugh at her and bully her, wantonly forcing her to do chores that were usually done by palace maids, leaving her no time to even remember the symptoms of her injuries or the effects of the medicines.
Tian Jiarou avoided Li Shuyao's gaze with an unnatural expression.
Li Shuyao:?
She began to reflect on where she had made any mistakes in holding her legs.
In the original novel, Depin stepped in to stop Tian Jiarou when she was almost pushed and fell into the well. At the same time, she severely punished the female doctors who bullied her. She also called the chief eunuch of the Imperial Medical Bureau and, in front of everyone, clearly listed everyone's faults one by one.
In the end, she concluded that if the charges she listed were true, eighty strokes of the cane would be a light punishment for everyone present except Tian Jiarou.
Just kneeling for two hours was already a light punishment for her.
These words convinced everyone. From then on, no one dared to bully Tian Jiarou openly, but instead turned to competing against each other in secret.
As for these tactics, Depin only needed to come up with one or two countermeasures, which was enough for Tian Jiarou to fight back and at the same time gain a foothold in the Imperial Hospital.
so……
Li Shuyao pinched her fingers unconsciously.
Is it because they met at the wrong time?
Or is it because Tian Jiarou has only suffered some minor bullying and her life has not been in danger, so she is unwilling to come to him?
But what's wrong with being around her?
Li Shuyao puffed out her cheeks, really confused.
However, seeing that Tian Jiarou was so unwilling, she didn't want to force her with an overly forceful attitude.
Don’t ask, I just don’t know.
So she simply loosened her grip on Tian Jiarou's wrist and casually grabbed a few wrapped candies from the table and gave them to her.
He said with a rather disappointed tone, "Alright, if you don't want to, forget it. But what I said before still counts. If you're ever bullied badly at the Imperial Hospital, you can always come to me and I'll ask Eunuch Liang to punish them!"
How could Eunuch Liang just come out to support a female doctor because she was bullied?
Tian Jiarou knew that this was impossible.
Nanny Lin next to her looked at Tian Jiarou deeply and realized that the clothes the little female doctor was wearing were the same style as the previous year. The clothes were a little pale from being washed, and there were threads worn out in several places on the cuffs and hem. It was estimated that they would be completely unwearable in a while.
There were no hairpins or velvet flowers in her bun, only a red headband.
Although the skin on his face was still fair, the back of his hands looked dry and thin, with thick calluses on his knuckles and fingertips.
These cocoons...
Nanny Lin couldn't help but think deeply about it. In addition to orally conveying the patient's condition to the imperial physician, the most important role of the female doctors in the Imperial Hospital was to apply medicine to the private parts of the concubines in the harem, or to use special techniques to massage the shoulders and neck to relieve physical discomfort.
Therefore, female doctors do not have to work. Not only do they not have to work, but their hands also need to be carefully cared for with special potions to ensure that their fingertips are soft and smooth, so as not to scratch the clothes of the master, nor cause further discomfort to the master during the process of applying medicine or kneading.
No female doctor would not understand this principle.
The girl in front of him, if she had not been willing, would have been bullied and abused by others in the Imperial Hospital, and those people had driven her to do too much dirty and heavy work with bad intentions, with the purpose of causing her to directly offend the concubines in the harem.
Before becoming the head nanny of the Ganqing Palace, Nanny Lin was just a powerless little maid in the palace and suffered a lot when she was young.
When she became the head maid of the Ganqing Palace, she couldn't help but want to help those palace maids who were bullied like she was when she was young.
Wen Lin often said that she was a pushover. A soft heart was extremely inappropriate and useless in this deep palace where even plants and trees could eat people.
But she just... couldn't bear to watch it.
So she also looked at Tian Jiarou, slowed down her tone, and said to her softly: "You can also come to me."
Tian Jiarou was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, and she looked at Nanny Lin who suddenly spoke in surprise.
I don’t know what was going on in my mind, but tears soon flashed in my eyes.
Li Shuyao:?
So all the things she said before weren't as effective as the six words Nanny Lin said?
I feel inferior, I've been hit hard, and there's no way I can get better.
She needs Qingyao to hug her and comfort her, and she also needs Sister Lingluo to feed her snacks and milk tea before she gets better!
