Qi Yue jumped into the ward and shook the rain off her shoulders.
Mrs. Xie in the room was helped to her feet by a girl.
"Yue Niang, have you eaten?" she asked with a smile.
"Ah, not yet." Qi Yue said, looking at Mr. Xie lying on the bed.
Mrs. Xie was asleep, with a nasogastric feeding tube inserted, her mouth open, the cannula exposed in her neck, and wearing a uniform hospital gown. There was no trace of the majesty of Mrs. Hou Fu, and she looked older all of a sudden.
This time she suffered a serious crime.
"That's better than death." Mrs. Xie said, looking over with relief and joy.
Qi Yue smiled without saying anything and stepped forward to check.
"With Dr. Zhou and Dr. An here, I'm really recovering well." She smiled and praised him, "I think he will be extubated in seven or eight days."
"You are here. If it weren't for you, she would be lying on the ground now." Mrs. Xie said.
Qi Yue looked at Mrs. Xie and opened her mouth to say something, but didn't.
"That's right, if it weren't for me, she would have died a long time ago." She said, "Remember to remind her when she wakes up."
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but laugh.
This woman did it on purpose.
"Yue Niang, she can't forgive you." She stopped smiling and said again.
"I know she's sorry for me." Qi Yue interrupted her, "So, I won't say much else. It doesn't mean anything if it doesn't hurt. Remember to pay more for the consultation fee, and that's what it's worth."
As he spoke, he put the stethoscope into his pocket.
"You should rest first. I'm on duty today. If you need something, ask me." She said, turned around and walked out.
Mrs. Xie could only watch her walk out.
"Old madam, drink tea." The girl quickly and carefully helped her sit down.
Mrs. Xie waved her hand as she couldn't bear to drink.
The door curtain rang, and Chang Yuncheng stepped in. The corner of his clothes was soaked by the rain.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" He looked up and saw Mrs. Xie staring at him with a bad look on her face. He was startled and quickly looked at Mr. Xie.
Looks okay...
"I won't come when it's time to come..." Mrs. Xie stared at him and said angrily.
"What?" Chang Yuncheng asked, not understanding.
"What have you been doing?" Mrs. Xie asked.
"I've gone to take care of some official business." Chang Yuncheng said with a smile. He took it and sat down. The girl knelt down and wiped the wet corners of her clothes. "Grandma, did you miss me?"
Madam Xie gave him a sideways look.
"I don't have time to miss you." She said angrily, frowning and feeling worried, "Why doesn't Yue Niang come to our house often recently...doesn't she want to worry about it..."
Chang Yuncheng lowered his head and waved his hand to retreat from the girl. He took the towel and wiped the corners of his clothes.
"Grandma can rest assured that Dr. Zhou and Dr. An are here," he said.
Mrs. Xie looked at him.
"I'm relieved, Old Doctor An. This Dr. Zhou is totally out of character..." She muttered, "You came back just in time. Madam Qi is on duty today. Go and see her."
Chang Yuncheng still lowered his head and wiped the corners of his clothes.
"What are you doing when you see her?" He whispered.
Mrs. Xie clicked her tongue.
"Ask about your mother's condition, how is her condition, and what should you pay attention to." She said with a glare.
"Didn't Old Doctor An tell you this?" Chang Yuncheng said.
Mrs. Xie was so angry that she took out her cane and hit his hand.
"Why are you wiping? Can your clothes be dried if they are wet? Why are you pretending to be quail! Go and ask!" She glared and shouted in a low voice, "She cured your mother, and others' opinions don't count!"
Chang Yuncheng looked at her helplessly and called his grandmother.
Mrs. Xie stared and raised her cane.
Chang Yuncheng was pushed out of the house in a bit of embarrassment, with the rain hitting him. He had to walk a few steps quickly to the opposite eaves. He looked back and saw Mrs. Xie glaring at him at the door, and then closed the door.
Chang Yuncheng was a little helpless.
"Your Majesty." Someone shouted from behind.
He turned around and saw a handyman in uniform carrying a medicine basket.
The handyman looked at him with some excitement.
"Protect her well, I'm afraid she will get into more and more trouble in the future." Chang Yuncheng said in a low voice.
The handyman nodded. Since Chang Yuncheng came back, the guards who were left as handymen had not had the chance to see him. Due to Xie's illness, they naturally would not bother Chang Yuncheng.
"Don't worry, Prince." He said solemnly.
Chang Yuncheng said no more and looked towards the rain in the yard.
"Your Majesty," the handyman called in a low voice without walking away.
"It's okay, go down. Don't let her know. She's very stubborn." Chang Yuncheng said without looking back.
The handyman responded, moved away with the medicine basket, walked a few steps and then came back.
"When the good news of the crown prince's achievements came, Madam Qi was very worried and tried her best to ask you if you were injured." He said in a low voice.
Chang Yuncheng looked back at him. The handyman bowed his head and saluted and walked away.
The rain was pouring. Because it was raining, there were no people asking for consultation. Everything seemed very quiet. Chang Yuncheng stood here motionless.
Can the clothes be dried by just wiping them when they are wet?
What Mrs. Xie just said rang in his ears.
If it's wet, it's wet, so what's the use of wiping it...
He lowered his head and looked at the wet hem of his clothes. He didn't know whether it was from the wind or the warmth of his body, but there was a patch that was slightly dry.
Maybe, it's still... too late... or...
He gritted his teeth and turned around to look at Qi Yue's house.
"Old madam, old madam, the prince has raised his feet!" The little girl stood by the window and couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"I'm not blind yet." Mrs. Xie on the side glared, "You point over there, squeeze me, what are you looking at?"
The little girl covered her mouth and giggled, then moved to one side obediently.
"Oh, it stopped again." She shouted in a low voice.
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but poke the window with her cane.
"Oh, this waste, I'm so anxious..." she whispered, "What are you doing again!"
"Old madam, it seems someone is coming." The little girl stood on tiptoe and looked.
Six or seven people rushed in through the rain and fog, immediately making the quiet hall lively.
The disciples hurriedly took it over.
"It's an emergency!" they shouted, with a bit of joy in their voices.
Coming to the emergency room at this time was really timely.
Qi Yue heard the sound and ran out of the house.
"How is it?" she asked, then saw the man who took off his hat and hat, "Master Wang, why are you here? It's your..."
"Brothers from the Yamen." Wang Qian said with a smile.
"Where are you from?" Qi Yue asked in surprise.
Oh my god, how far away is that? It's raining again...
Was it sent here specially?
"It wasn't raining originally." Wang Qian smiled and pointed outside, "It started raining halfway. It's already halfway. Instead of going back, it's better to come here."
Qi Yue said oh, smiled at him, and concentrated on seeing the patient.
"...it's a traumatic infection and needs to be debrided again..." Qi Yue said.
"Yes, yes, we don't think it's good either. I heard that Mrs. Qi is the best at this, so we sent her here quickly." A man next to the injured said, introducing himself, "I am also a doctor, but my skills are shallow.
I’m really ashamed.”
"No way, there are specialties in surgery. I'm just better at this, and I can't compare to you in others." Qi Yue smiled and ordered the operation.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi, who was known to be very domineering and it was wrong for others not to follow her method of treatment, turned out to be so humble and kind. The doctor was surprised.
Qi Yue is here to prepare for debridement surgery.
"Are you going home or not?" Qi Yue walked up and then stopped to look at Wang Qian and asked.
"It's raining too much. I'll wait until the rain subsides a bit, and then when someone arrives, I'll at least wait until it's done before I leave." Wang Qian said with a smile.
Qi Yue smiled at him.
"Go sit in my office. My girl just made some snacks and brought them to you. You go and try them..." she said, pointing to her room, "But the tea is not good, so you can just drink it."
Wang Qian's smile became even thicker and his eyes narrowed.
"Go quickly." He said.
Qi Yue then turned around and left.
The hall became quiet again.
"Master Wang, please come here. Do you want me to make tea for you?" the guide disciple said enthusiastically.
"No, I can do it myself." Wang Qian said, taking off his coir raincoat, "You can find a place to hang this, so as not to dirty her house."
The disciple responded and took it.
Seeing Wang Qian enter Qi Yue's house, Chang Yuncheng, who was hiding behind the pillar, stood up slightly.
No need, I'll do it myself...
He is really familiar...
Are you that familiar?
He clenched his fists and stared at the door over there.
So familiar...so natural and comfortable...that person...is not him...it will never be him again...
In fact, the injured patient's symptoms of infection were not very severe, and Qi Yue's surgery was completed quickly.
The rain also stopped, and the courtyard was fresh. Several disciples were walking by carrying rice, chatting and laughing, and were stopped by Mrs. Xie.
"Where is Mrs. Qi?" she asked.
"I just finished the operation. Are you ready to eat?" the disciples replied, asking politely, "Has the old lady finished her meal? Do you want us to help?"
"No, no, no," Mrs. Xie waved her hand, walked out on crutches, and tiptoed to the door of Qi Yue's house.
"... I ate it last time and was thinking about it. What a coincidence that I made this braised pork today..."
The man's voice came out softly.
"Then eat more. If you want to pack it up, I'll make it cheaper for you..."
Qi Yue's laughter immediately sounded.
Mrs. Xie gritted her teeth and thought about the family background of that old guy Wang Tongye. She even thought about braised pork. She was not afraid of thunder from the sky when she lied!
How shameless!
Mrs. Xie cursed angrily in her heart and turned away. She walked around several times and found Chang Yuncheng beside the sink in the yard, who was staring at the water in a daze.
This good-for-nothing guy... said he let it go. Is this called letting go?
Isn’t it just the face that people live by? How can you live a good life if you can’t give up your face?
Mrs. Xie knocked him up with a cane.
"Follow me," she said.
Chang Yuncheng was a little confused and was pushed towards Qi Yue by Mrs. Xie with a cane.
"Grandma, stop making trouble." He quickly stopped when he saw the direction and whispered.
"What's the fuss about?" Mrs. Xie said, "Why are you making a fuss by asking about your mother's condition?"
Chang Yuncheng looked at her helplessly.
"Grandma, this is too bullying." He whispered, looking towards Qi Yue's house.
Mrs. Xie pushed him.
"Miss Qi!" she shouted loudly.
It was too late to leave now. Chang Yuncheng was pushed to the door in embarrassment. Mrs. Xie raised the curtain and took him in.
In the room, Qi Yue was eating, and Wang Qian was sitting across from him, holding up his chopsticks. They both looked over.
"Oh, I'm eating right now, what a coincidence." Mrs. Xie said apologetically.
Qi Yue stood up.
"It's okay, it's okay, what's the matter?" she said, casually asking, "Have you eaten?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Mrs. Xie said. Without waiting for Qi Yue to speak again, she looked at Chang Yuncheng and said, "It just so happens that you can eat here too. After you finish eating, you can ask about your mother's condition."
He said this without waiting for anyone's reaction.
"I remembered that Dr. Liu asked me to call him after dinner, but I forgot about it, so I'll go first." She said, turned around and walked out.
The three people in the room were left staring at each other.*** (To be continued)
