Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingxue’s interest was immediately piqued, and she asked, “Nanny, you know this person?”
“I do know him. Judge Wu has a very high status in the imperial hospital and all the Imperial physicians respect him. Moreover, he was a person who cherished talents. Back then, when the Eldest Young Master’s death was strange, he had also helped investigate the truth for a period of time. Unfortunately, no matter how difficult it was to reverse the situation back then, not only did Judge Wu not obtain the truth, but he was also reprimanded. Helplessly, he had no choice but to give up. Because of this, Judge Wu even made a special trip to the house to apologize to the Old Madam,” said Mama Sheng.
When Gu Qingxue heard what Nanny Sheng said, she could almost imagine how upright this martial arts department’s judge was. “Such a serious and responsible person is truly rare in the palace. If I were to enter the palace and meet this judge, I would definitely inquire about my father’s matters in detail.” Nanny Sheng nodded, then went back to her room to rest with Gu Qingxue.
The next morning, Gu Qingxue changed into her official robes and entered the palace with Qin Yun.
Gu Qingxue arrived at the imperial hospital when the sky was just beginning to brighten.
The imperial hospital had Imperial physicians on duty every day. Even though Gu Qingxue had arrived early in the morning, the imperial hospital was still extremely busy. The thick smell of medicinal herbs accompanied the Imperial physicians’ discussion.
Gu Qingxue stood in front of the crowd with an indifferent expression. The moment she appeared, everyone’s eyes were drawn to her.
The female doctors of the Imperial Academy of Medicine were all in other parts of the back courtyard. Under normal circumstances, female doctors were not allowed to go to the main hall of the Imperial Academy of Medicine without permission. And the only person with special privileges in the palace was Gu Qingxue.
Especially Gu Qingxue’s appearance and temperament, which was as high as the mountains and clouds. It was no secret that the Emperor deeply admired her. At this moment, all the Imperial physicians in the Imperial Academy of Medicine were looking at her, and no one dared to act rashly.
This was the emperor’s favorite. If they said or did something wrong and made lady Gu unhappy, then they would all be in serious trouble.
In the crowd, the most nervous person was none other than Imperial Physician Qin.
Imperial Physician Qin looked at Gu Qingxue and felt that this woman was even more dazzling than the last time he saw her. Especially with the elegant and water-like aura around her, she didn’t seem like a small female doctor, but more like a high and mighty Princess.
“What’s wrong with you? Gu Qingxue’s coming over? this is such a big matter, yet you didn’t even come to inform me in advance?” Imperial Physician Qin looked at the little eunuch beside him, Lilt Zhuozi, with dissatisfaction and asked in a low voice.
After Lilt Zhuozi heard this, he revealed an innocent expression and said, “Lord Qin, how can you blame this servant for this? His Majesty personally gave the order that Gu Qingxue can enter and leave the imperial hospital at any time. She doesn’t even need to be on duty and can come or not. This servant didn’t know that she would suddenly come today.”
Imperial Physician Qin was so angry that he raised his hand to strike, “You still dare to talk back to me? I think you’ve eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!”
Lilt Zhuozi was so scared that he shrank his neck and stood weakly at the side, not daring to make a sound.
Imperial Physician Qin also did not want to cause any problems at this critical juncture. He could only suppress his anger and stand at the side with a gloomy expression as he watched silently..
