Uncle Fu placed the lamp securely.
"The acupuncture needles are all ready, but only three small packets of commonly used medicine remain."
"Half a packet of pain reliever, one packet of diarrhea reliever, and half a bottle of wound medicine."
"The charity hasn't let him see patients these past few days."
Gu Moran tapped on the table.
"A miracle doctor, with no medicine, no money, no food, and a penny-pincher."
Uncle Fu cut the wick shorter.
"It's time to get him on the field."
Uncle Fu nodded.
"Then, old servant, shall arrange for the patient?"
Gu Moran looked at him.
"A real patient."
Uncle Fu paused for a moment.
"The free clinic in the south of the city already had patients."
Gu Moran yawned.
"Starting tomorrow, hang a wooden sign at the entrance of the free clinic tent."
Uncle Fu fetched the paper.
Gu Moran quickly.
"First, all doctors practicing medicine here will receive free consultations, and they can set their own medication costs; the charity will not take a cut."
"Secondly, poor people can pay for medical treatment by giving an IOU, and the charitable institution will advance the cost of the medicine, but the doctor needs to register the symptoms."
Uncle Fu's pen stopped on the paper.
Gu Moran pressed his fingers on the table.
"One more thing: visiting doctors should first undergo a half-day trial period; only if three patients are satisfied will they be allowed to stay."
After finishing writing, Uncle Fu asked again:
"Should we get the charity manager to speak?"
"Don't let the manager say it."
Gu Moran looked at the small map of the south of the city.
"The manager has been ordering him around too much these past few days. When Chu Tianxing sees him, his first reaction isn't to see patients, but to want to yell at him."
Uncle Fu suppressed a laugh.
Gu Moran pointed to the location of the free clinic tent.
"Hang up the wooden sign."
"Set up the examination table."
"Put the hot porridge aside."
"Let another child who actually has a stomachache stand in front of him."
Uncle Fu wrote it down.
"His Highness is paving the way for the divine physician, setting his sights on death at the free clinic in the south of the city."
Footsteps could be heard outside the door.
Shen Ling'er sneaked in mysteriously.
The hairpin was only half-inserted, and her sleeves were still rolled up.
Who needs to see a doctor?
"Free clinic tent?"
I just heard the words "miracle doctor".
When Gu Moran saw the small medicine box she carried, scenes from the original book immediately popped into his mind.
Shen Ling'er and Chu Tianxing faced off.
A minor poison master from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
A local miracle doctor.
In the original book, the two engaged in a battle of medicine and poison. Shen Ling'er was defeated by Chu Tianxing in seven rounds, which angered her so much that she smashed half of the pharmacy.
Now that Shen Ling'er's favorability has stabilized, we can't let her be blessed with the halo of destiny prematurely.
He reached out and pressed the paper on the table.
Why are you here?
Shen Ling'er did not answer.
She took two steps closer, her nose twitching first.
Then she stopped.
The study fell silent.
Looking into her bright eyes, Gu Moran felt that the lamp was a bit unnecessary tonight.
Shen Ling'er placed the medicine box on the table, her gaze sweeping from his collar to his cuffs, and then down to his waist.
" Northern Territory Wine."
"And there's that animal hide incense from the Azure Wolf Courtyard."
She reached out and pinched the edge of Gu Moran's clothes with her fingertips.
"The horse my husband saw tonight, it drinks milk wine and uses women's perfume?"
Uncle Fu lowered his head and began to carefully examine the lamp wick.
Gu Moran raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose.
"I have resolved the dispute."
Shen Ling'er smiled.
"So much trouble that your clothes are all wrinkled?"
Gu Moran looked at her.
The girl didn't lose her temper.
But her quirky and mischievous thoughts are more troublesome than her temper tantrums.
Shen Ling'er leaned closer and softened her voice.
My husband still has a strange smell about him.
She looked up.
" Sister Murong is so caring."
Gu Moran grasped her wrist.
" Ling'er."
Shen Ling'er did not struggle.
She looked down at Gu Moran's hand.
"My husband, I'm not angry."
Shen Ling'er smiled even more sweetly.
"I just came to see if my husband still had the strength to lie to me."
Gu Moran remained silent for a moment.
Uncle Fu coughed.
"This old servant will go outside and check the situation."
Gu Moran looked at him.
" Uncle Fu."
Uncle Fu had already retreated to the doorway.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this old servant did not hear anything."
The door closed.
Shen Ling'er sat down opposite Gu Moran.
What did Uncle Fu just write?
Gu Moran pushed the teacup towards her.
A doctor has arrived in the south of the city.
Shen Ling'er picked up the tea but didn't drink it.
"Your medical skills are excellent?"
"Um."
Shen Ling'er reached for the paper.
Gu Moran it down.
She looked up at him.
"Husband, are you wary of me?"
"To prevent you from drugging others."
Shen Ling'er spoke with righteous indignation.
I will check your pulse before administering the medicine.
"What happens after you finish asking?"
"Whether you like him or not."
Gu Moran pulled the paper back.
So you can't go.
Shen Ling'er sat up straight.
"Why? If the free clinic is short of doctors, I can go too."
Gu Moran at her.
Letting her go will both boost her reputation and put pressure on Chu Tianxing.
But the Son of Destiny loves to steal the spotlight by saving lives at the free clinic.
no.
"You have other business to attend to tomorrow, and besides, you're taking another man's pulse. I'll be jealous."
Shen Ling'er wrinkled her pretty nose.
"You're good with words. Tell me, what do I need tomorrow?"
" Su Yao needs a follow-up examination of her throat."
" Sister Su said her voice is very good."
"Then check her back to see if she can withstand the constant work day and night."
Shen Ling'er's ears burned, and she grabbed a cup from the table and smashed it at him.
" Gu Moran, have you no shame?"
Gu Moran caught it.
"You also need to prepare medicine for Lin Qingdai's bruises from practicing martial arts."
"Would she let me be a match?"
"Take the medicine over, and also add two packets of pork knuckle digestive pills."
Shen Ling'er held her breath for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
"If Sister Lin hears this, she'll chase you with a stick."
So you go deliver it.
Shen Ling'er blinked, but didn't leave.
Gu Moran looked at her.
"How?"
Shen Ling'er opened her small medicine box and took out a small scale and some medicine paper.
I'm not leaving tonight.
Gu Moran's eyebrows twitched.
" Ling'er."
Don't chase me away.
Shen Ling'er lowered her head and divided the medicine, her voice soft.
"You just came back from Azure Wolf Courtyard. If I leave now, the whole academy will know I lost by tomorrow morning."
Gu Moran's fingertips paused.
Shen Ling'er pushed a packet of medicine over.
"Write down your layout for the south of the city."
"I'll prepare my own bruise medicine."
"No one will hold anyone back."
Gu Moran looked at her reddened ear tips.
"Is this what you call marital harmony?"
Shen Ling'er looked up.
"This is called 'Little Poison Fairy's Night Watch'."
Gu Moran smiled.
Shen Ling'er tapped the rim of the bowl with her pestle.
"My husband, you're not allowed to smile so beautifully."
"Why?"
"I might be too ruthless tonight, I'm a bit petty."
Gu Moran spread out the paper.
"Then I'll keep it."
Shen Ling'er stared at his collar.
"I've changed my clothes too."
"Now?"
"Now."
Gu Moran glanced down at it.
There was indeed a lingering, ambiguous scent on the lapel.
He got up and went behind the screen to change his clothes.
Shen Ling'er sat at her desk, her ears growing increasingly red, but her hands remained steady.
The medicine powder was divided into three portions.
One portion for Su Yao to soothe her throat.
One portion was given to Lin Qingdai to help clear the bruises.
For the last one, she wrote two words.
Coptis chinensis.
Gu Moran changed her clothes and came out, then saw the packet of medicine.
"Who is this for?"
Shen Ling'er folded the medicine paper neatly.
"For those who will be dishonest in the future."
Gu Moran sat back down at her desk.
"I will certainly behave myself tomorrow."
Shen Ling'er pulled the medicine box closer to her chest.
"It's too late."
One of them wrote the regulations for the free clinic in the south of the city, and the other dispensed the medicine.
The wick was cut twice.
The tea was changed when it got cold.
When Gu Moran against Shen Ling'er's fingertip.
Shen Ling'er did not dodge.
She simply pushed the packet of bitter melon a little closer to him.
Gu Moran softly.
"What, trying to threaten your husband?"
"Remind."
"What reminder?"
Shen Ling'er lowered her head and wrote down the names of the medicines.
"Just so you know, Azure Wolf Courtyard has milk wine, and Green Vine Courtyard has bitter melon."
Gu Moran closer.
"Will this medicine be bitter tonight?"
Shen Ling'er's hand trembled, and a little of the medicine powder spilled out.
She looked up and glared at him.
If you keep causing trouble, I'll really punish you.
Gu Moran gathered the scattered medicine powder back onto the paper for her.
"Okay, I won't make a fuss."
After midnight, Shen Ling'er rested her chin on her hand and watched him write.
At first, they would point out a couple of mistakes.
The voice then grew softer and softer.
Later, she fell asleep by the desk.
Gu Moran stopped writing.
He took off his outer robe and draped it over her shoulders.
Shen Ling'er closed her eyes, but her hand gripped his sleeve as she murmured.
Tell me if there's any danger.
The sound was very soft.
Gu Moran looked at her.
"Good."
Shen Ling'er loosened her grip slightly and added in a low voice.
Don't hide your injury from me either.
Gu Moran dimmed the lamp wick.
"Good."
He carried Shen Ling'er to the couch in the inner room.
