With a conditioned reflex, Chu Qiao opened Chu Xia's hand and blushed. The paddles hit her waist and legs. The doctor girl could see that it was nothing, but a few paddles spanked her butt hard, which made her a little shy.
, growing up, no one except my mother has ever been so close to her.
"If you don't apply medicine after the injection, there will be scars. You and I are both women. What are you afraid of? I'll be gentle."
Chu Xia's tone was very soft and her movements were very slow. Chu Qiao glanced at her secretly. On the face of this medical woman, there was a kind and caring expression. It was really hard to imagine that she would assist Concubine Jin Hui in murdering the seventh prince.
After relaxing a little, Chu Qiao was no longer reserved.
"You, do you usually just treat the palace maids?" Chu Qiao asked in a low voice. She was quite interested in the profession of medical women.
"No, most of the time, I help the imperial doctors, prepare medicine, see medicine, and occasionally deliver medicine to the ladies. Most of the time, we have to study and take exams in order to advance. Now, I will follow
Master Leng, you can be considered an apprentice, but you have learned a lot."
Chu Xia has a very easy-going temperament, and she applies medicine to Chu Qiao while talking.
Chu Qiao endured the pain and listened with open ears, thinking about the special conditions and requirements for being a medical woman in the palace. What kind of people can enter the imperial hospital?
Will someone like her, who works as a handyman in the imperial kitchen, have such an opportunity? Since Chu Xia is here, she might as well ask, so as to make a plan in advance.
"Actually, I also like medical skills. It would be great if I could go to Tai Hospital and become a medical girl." Chu Qiao said in a low voice.
"It's not like anyone can get in if they want to."
Chu Xia wiped the potion, responded, and then continued in a low voice:
"To be able to enter Tai Hospital, you must have been a doctor in the past, be proficient in medical science, have a clean financial background, and have not made any serious mistakes. You must also have the seal of an official from the same town before you can sign up. This is not enough. Next, you need to check it out.
, taking the exam, speaking of it, is such a complicated process, and few can actually enter the palace. Most of them will go back the same way they came. "
"Then you... came in like this?" Chu Qiao asked.
"Haha, this..."
Chu Xia just responded like this, which was very far-fetched. She seemed unwilling to say more, which meant that there were other reasons. As for what it was, judging from her attitude, she would not say it even if asked.
Before, Chu Qiao was a little disgusted with Chu Xia because of the Seventh Prince's incident, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she probably doesn't know what the ginger is used for in the decoction. She only knows that it is not life-threatening, plus the threat of Concubine Hui.
, she agreed. If she had known that ginger and beef could kill people together, she might not have agreed to Concubine Jin Hui’s request.
In the palace, no matter what you do, sometimes you have to do it yourself. If you don't compromise, you will die.
Just when Chu Qiao was dazed, Chu Xia's potion fell on her thigh, and a heartbreaking pain came. She couldn't help but groan. The most severe beating here, the dead eunuch almost broke her legs.
Already.
"The fighting here is serious. I'm afraid it will take a while to recover." Chu Xia's movements were much more careful, which made Chu Qiao feel more favorable to her.
Since Chu Xia was in Taiyuan Hospital, she wondered if she knew the man who went to Yuquan Mountain. Chu Qiao hesitated again and again before asking.
"Is there an official in Taiyuan Hospital? Others call him Sir?"
"There are many adults in Tai Hospital. If you say that, I don't know who you are talking about." Chu Xia applied the medicine and started to pack the medicine box. Chu Qiao was afraid that she would just leave like this, so she hurriedly asked again.
"I wonder who is responsible for investigating the matter of Yuquan Mountain Spring Water?"
"That matter was such a big fuss that the Emperor personally investigated it. Doctor Shang had to personally investigate the matter. After all, the investigation took a long time, and finally we found out that it was Rosin that caused the trouble. Why?
How could a pine tree lean down by such a coincidence? This is the first time I know that rosin can harm people in this way."
Chu Xia put away the medical kit and covered Chu Qiao with a quilt. What did she explain next? Chu Qiao didn't hear a word. The medical woman said that it was the matter of the spring that Mr. Shang Medical Supervisor personally investigated?
Isn't the current Mr. Shang the Doctor the same as Mr. Chong? Chong Ximo's father.
Thinking of this name, Chu Qiao's heart still couldn't help but tremble. Although her engagement with Chong Ximo had been terminated and there was no longer any relationship, the depression in her heart still existed. When she was well, if he was engaged to her, she wouldn't
She disliked him as a sick young man and resisted the marriage, which was a way of giving face to her uncle and Chong Ximo, but she was unlucky. Not only did Chong Ximo not help her secretly, but he beat her out with a stick.
Thinking about leaving the Chu family and hearing the news while standing in the wind and snow, the chill still chills Chu Qiao's heart.
She didn't know when she went out in early summer. She was completely in a trance. Doctor Shang was Chong Ximo's father. He was forty or fifty years old. But the man she met in Yuquan Mountain was indeed a young man.
Definitely not Lord Chong, but who is he?
Just when Chu Qiao turned around to stop Chu Xia and continue questioning, there was no trace of Chu Xia anywhere in the room.
"Hey, why is it so difficult to find out your name?"
Just when Chu Qiao was lying on the bed, sighing, another voice sounded outside the door.
"Li Chunxiang, Mr. Liu, let me bring this to you."
Following a voice behind her, a tray was placed beside her bed. When Chu Qiao raised her eyes, she saw it was a palace daughter from the imperial dining room.
"Master Liu?"
Chu Qiao looked at the tray, which actually contained some pastries and a bowl of potion. The pastries were red and green, which looked pretty. The bowl of potion, with a hint of bitterness, should be used to treat trauma.
This Mr. Liu? Chu Qiao struggled to support her body, trying to see clearly the people outside the room.
"Don't look, I just left. It's Mr. Liu Zhang, the guard of Tai Hospital."
As long as the men of higher rank than her are the palace daughters in the imperial dining room, except for the father-in-law, they are almost all called "sir." Liu Zhang is an eighth-grade bodyguard, and above the junior palace daughters, he is naturally called "sir."
Liu Zhang?
Chu Qiao felt her head buzzing, why did this guy come to deliver something again?
"Hey, hey, tell him not to leave. I have something to ask him..." Chu Qiao wanted to get up, but she couldn't find the strength. It was even more impossible to catch up with Liu Zhang who had left.
"Master Liu has left. He asked you to wait patiently in the imperial dining room. Don't be too impatient, or you will suffer a loss." After Xiaogong's daughter finished speaking, she turned around and went out.
What does it mean? Let her wait patiently. What will be the result after waiting?
For no reason, Chu Qiao broke into a sweat. Could it be that Liu Zhang really fell in love with her?
