536: Chapter 546 Sothing Happened 536: Chapter 546 Sothing Happened These two were not relatives of high-ranking officials but rather magnates of comrce and trade.
Although their family was wealthy, they lacked power and hence did not recognize Doctor Cui from the palace.
Hearing ntion of the palace naturally left no room for doubt, and the elder Madam Hua, beaming with smiles, eagerly brought her daughter to Doctor Cui, saying, “This humble woman is blind to Mount Tai and hopes Doctor Cui won’t take offense.
It’s not that I doubt Doctor Cui’s skills, it’s just that my daughter’s condition…
before, it was Doctor Gu who examined her, and she had prescribed so dicine to take, stating that we should co back today…
for a follow-up.”
Miss Hua hastened to add, “Right, right, for the follow-up.”
Gu Youyou had a habit of asking patients to return for follow-ups, which the two doctors, after a long tenure at Jisheng Hall, were well aware of.
Of course, they did not have this practice themselves.
In their view, if a patient recovered, they naturally would not co back, nor was there a need.
If not cured, patients would co back on their own even without being told to do so for a follow-up.
Seeing the mother and daughter’s sudden change in attitude, Doctor Cui’s brows gradually relaxed.
She was accustod to bringing up her past experiences in the palace and relished the adulatory looks from others.
Only after sufficiently establishing her stature would she attend to the mother and daughter.
Before Gu Youyou had erged, Shopkeeper Hu, responsible for the dispensary, found Lin Qianqing, who was dividing dicines, and said, “Miss Lin, may I trouble you to ask in the backyard when Doctor Gu will be out?
She ntioned that she consults for four hours each day, and it’s getting late.
In a little over an hour, we’ll have to close up.”
The backyard was where Gu Youyou conducted her experints, so everyone in the dical hall knew that, unless necessary, outsiders were not allowed in.
Of course, Lin Qianqing was allowed to co and go freely.
Thus, Shopkeeper Hu had no choice but to ask Lin Qianqing for help.
Lin Qianqing herself had been waiting left and right without seeing Gu Youyou and Yue Rujing co out and was already feeling sowhat annoyed.
Since Shopkeeper Hu had made such a request, she handed the remaining undivided dicines over to him, stood up, dusted off her hands, and said, “Then I’ll go in and take a look.”
“Ah!
Thank you so much, Miss Lin.”
My cousin and the Princely Heir were inside feeding snakes and perhaps had so matters to discuss, but they had really been in there for quite a long ti.
Lin Qianqing, previously preoccupied with her tasks, now felt increasingly uneasy and quickened her pace towards the backyard.
Pushing open the door, she had several thoughts in mind, but she could have never imagined such an eye-searing scene.
What did she see?
Behind several plum trees, she vaguely made out two overlapping silhouettes.
Her cousin was lying on top of the Princely Heir, a posture far too intimate, stirring wild imaginations.
Moved by the noble principle of “see no evil,” she initially intended to close the courtyard door.
But she imdiately sensed sothing was amiss.
Why were they motionless?
Could sothing have happened?
With that thought, Lin Qianqing hurriedly gathered up her skirts and ran closer to inspect.
Their postures were indeed compromising, and the Princely Heir’s clothes were visibly…
disheveled!
Gu Youyou’s face was buried in Yue Rujing’s chest, so she couldn’t see her expression.
But Yue Rujing’s pallid complexion and the frost on his eyebrows were all too clearly visible to her.
Indeed, sothing had gone wrong.
Lin Qianqing cried out loudly and rushed to pull Gu Youyou up.
“Cousin, cousin, wake up, what’s happened to you?”
Gu Youyou showed no response; her complexion was terrifyingly pale, and like Yue Rujing, her eyebrows, too, were frosted over.
Lin Qianqing turned pale with fright and extended her hand, trembling as she reached for Gu Youyou’s breath.
The bone-chilling cold that struck her the mont she touched the tip of Gu Youyou’s nose imdiately startled her so much that she quickly withdrew her hand.
