Chapter 108 Mr. Bai
Mr. Song's leg disease is old cold legs, which is not difficult to treat. Lin Qian gave him acupuncture for a few days and used the plaster she prepared. It can be cured within three months.
Lin Changcan’s chronic cold legs were cured in the same way.
As for Mr. Song’s mother’s amblyopia, it is commonly known as cataracts. She got this disease because she was too old.
Although Lin Qian cannot completely cure cataracts, she can help alleviate some of Old Madam Song's symptoms and help her see more clearly.
After treating Mr. Song, Lin Qian and the others did not stay long and said goodbye. This time, Wei Xiaoran did not send Lin Qian home.
He was called away by the emperor.
In the next few days, Wei Xiaoran took Lin Qian to two marquisates' mansions, one prince's mansion, and three generals' mansions.
In addition to old injuries, the conditions include asthma, coronary heart disease and infertility.
After Lin Qian had seen all the patients and they had taken Lin Qian's medicine and felt their conditions had improved to varying degrees, June finally arrived.
The medical competition is about to begin.
The referees of the Medical Competition are very formal. In addition to the heads of the eight major medical families, there are also some respected doctors from the Immortal Doctor Valley, Medicine King Temple, and other folk doctors.
There are a total of sixteen referees, which can basically ensure fairness, justice and openness.
The venue of the competition was in the Yaowang Temple on the outskirts of the capital.
Today is the sixth day of June, the day when the Medical Competition begins.
"Wei Xiaoran? What's wrong with you today?" The emperor asked for the fourth time today and threw the chess piece into the chess basket.
Wei Xiaoran came back to his senses and saw the emperor throwing the chess piece into the chess basket. Thinking that he didn't want to play anymore, he immediately stood up and was about to leave.
"Since the emperor is not interested in me, I will take my leave." Wei Xiaoran bowed, turned around and wanted to run, but the emperor grabbed the hem of his clothes.
The emperor is the same age as Wei Xiaoran this year, only eighteen years old. He has a slender figure and handsome appearance, with smiling eyes. However, his eyes are as black as ink jade and like a deep pool, making it impossible to see the bottom at a glance.
"My dear Minister Wei, are you not in the mood to play chess, or am I? You have been absent-minded since the beginning of court today. What are you thinking about?" The emperor asked, holding on to the corner of Wei Xiaoran's clothes.
Wei Xiaoran pulled twice but failed to budge, so he sat back down helplessly and said, "Today is the Doctors Competition, I want to go and watch it."
The emperor raised his eyebrows. Ever since Wei Xiaoran came to him two years ago, he had always behaved honestly, steadily and reliably. He had never seen Wei Xiaoran so anxious before.
"Oh? It's just a medical competition, why are you so anxious?"
Wei Xiaoran looked at the emperor's playful expression, and finally gave in. He said, "My Qianqian is competing. I have to go and see her. What if the eight great families bully her?"
"Oh! It's your Qianqian!" The emperor repeated Wei Xiaoran's words.
Although the emperor had never met Lin Qian, he had heard of her a long time ago.
After all, when Wei Xiaoran came to him and said he wanted to assist him, he felt very confused.
Wei Xiaoran is the top scholar at a young age. As long as he works hard, his official position will not be low no matter who becomes the emperor in the future.
Later, he learned from Wei Xiaoran that all this originated from a girl named Lin Qian.
"I can let you go. I'm very curious about the Qianqian you mentioned. Take me with you." said the emperor.
In fact, he had heard the news in the past few days that Wei Xiaoran was taking Commander Lin's daughter to treat patients everywhere, and he had long wanted to meet Lin Qian, who had infatuated Wei Xiaoran.
"Nonsense! You are the emperor. What if you encounter danger when you leave the palace?" Wei Xiaoran refused.
The emperor nodded, took another chess piece from the chess basket, and placed it on the chessboard. "Alright! In that case, you can continue to play chess with me. I'm so bored."
Wei Xiaoran grabbed the emperor's hand holding the chess piece, pulled it out and threw it back into the chess basket.
"Haha, I'm here. I will definitely protect the emperor."
Seeing Wei Xiaoran's reluctant expression, the emperor laughed and went to change his clothes.
The scene of the medical competition.
The first competition has begun. There is one person between Lin Qian's position and Xu Jingcheng's position.
That’s right, Xu Jingcheng also participated in this medical competition.
This can also test the current level of Xu Jingcheng's medical skills.
The first competition was very simple. The doctors who came to take the test were required to look at 300 kinds of medicinal herbs and then write down the names, uses, pharmacology, preparation methods, etc. of the herbs on paper.
This first level tests all the basics. Although it is simple, there are many herbs, and you have to write them comprehensively without any mistakes, so this level is quite time-consuming.
Therefore, everyone handed in their papers at about the same time.
"It's you, I didn't expect you to actually dare to come!"
After Lin Qian handed in the paper, she was talking in a low voice with Xu Jingcheng when a girl's voice suddenly came from behind them.
The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person speaking was a girl of fifteen or sixteen, and next to her was a boy of seventeen or eighteen. It was obvious that they were siblings, and they were both staring at Lin Qian.
"Master? Who are they?" Xu Jingcheng asked Lin Qian.
Lin Qian didn't recognize who the two people were for a moment and looked confused. After a while, the girl seemed to be angry. She put her hands on her hips and glared at Lin Qian.
At this moment, Lin Qian finally remembered who the two people were.
These two people were none other than Meng Ze's children, Meng Zimao and Meng Zixuan, who had met once before in Yaoxiang Pavilion.
"It's you? I haven't seen you for a few years. Is your father still alive?" Lin Qian asked with a smile.
"You!" Meng Zixuan was furious when she heard this. Meng Zimao still had the same hot temper as before. He took two quick steps over, raised his fist and was about to attack.
Xu Jingcheng naturally couldn't just stand by and watch his master being bullied. Just as he was about to go forward, a voice suddenly came over.
"What do you want to do?"
Everyone looked over and saw that the person who was speaking was a young man in white clothes. He was tall and graceful, holding a folding fan, and was very elegant and suave.
Meng Zixuan and Meng Zimao also participated in this year's medical competition, as did this young man.
Lin Qian and Xu Jingcheng had seen this person before, but they didn't know his identity. However, Meng Zixuan and Meng Zimao seemed to know him.
"Greetings, Mr. Bai." The two men bowed to Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai looked at the two of them with a calm expression and said, "The Medical Competition doesn't include private fights. You're trying to fight in front of so many people. Do you want to be disqualified from the competition?"
Meng Zimao and Meng Zixuan looked at Lin Qian angrily, turned around and left without saying anything.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai." After the two left, Lin Qian thanked Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai put away his folding fan and stared at Lin Qian intently. Lin Qian herself felt strange because of Mr. Bai's complicated eyes.
