Chapter 494: Chapter 177 Yan Xu_4
Jin Xianrong felt desolate. Such an understanding and delicate flower of a lady; if it were not for the fear of offending the Grand Preceptor’s Mansion, he truly wished to take her back to his residence, to care for her tenderly, and to hide her in a golden house for the rest of his life.
As he was feeling regretful, the person in front of him said, "Has Lord Jin used up the fragrant pills?"
Jin Xianrong was startled, "That Pond Spring Grass Dream? I’ve only got one left."
He laughed awkwardly, "You haven’t co for more than half a month, and there aren’t many fragrant pills left. I’ve even used the last few from the Jade Terrace Incense Burner. I’ve only got one left, which I really can’t bear to use... Could Doctor Lu send
so more?"
Lu Tong smiled and took out a small porcelain jar about the size of a little wine jar from the dical box,
Jin Xianrong looked puzzled. He watched her pick up the incense burner on the table, retrieve the last "Pond Spring Grass Dream" from within and put it back into the dical box, then opened the porcelain jar and, using a small silver tweezer, filled it with new fragrant pills, one by one, until the last one was in place. Then she put the jar back into the dical box and took out a sealed letter, handing it to Jin Xianrong.
She said, "Lord Jin’s illness is nearly cured, and thinking that there will be few opportunities to visit in the future, I’ve changed the prescription to a new one. I’m leaving these for you. I’m also giving the prescription to you, so in the future if you want to use it, you can just find the Fragrance dicine Bureau and make it yourself. There’s also no need to frequent the dical Officer Institute anymore."
Jin Xianrong was taken aback and then deeply moved, "Doctor Lu, you are really considerate."
He thought, having contracted this disease, all the dical officers at the dical Officer Institute were at their wits’ end, but fortunately, a Lady Divine Doctor like Lu Tong brought him back from the brink, preventing him from following in his father’s footsteps. Although he had now offended the Grand Preceptor’s Mansion, with an uncertain future, Lu Tong has been nothing but sincere towards him, never treating him perfunctorily. Had he not been wary of the Qi Family, he would have definitely taken this girl as his wife and cherished her dearly.
As this crossed his mind, he montarily forgot about Pei Yunng, only feeling that he and the woman before him were like a pair of star-crossed lovers in a play, deeply understanding each other yet forced to part by cruel fate, always a hint of reluctance that’s hard to dispel.
Gazing at her, his eyebrows filled with emotion, he gently began, "Doctor Lu, I have little influence and can’t offer much help, for which I am truly ashad. I hope you won’t bla ."
Lu Tong lowered her head, stretched out her hand to close the lid of her dical box, securing the empty porcelain jar and the sole remaining "Pond Spring Grass Dream" inside it, before finally lifting her head.
"Not at all," she said with a light smile, "Lord Jin, you’ve already helped
a lot."
...
When she returned from the Board of Rites Office, it was nearly noon.
As soon as Lu Tong entered the hall of the dical Officer Institute, she was stopped by a dical officer, "Doctor Lu, your return is perfectly tid. The Envoy was just looking for you, saying there is sothing he needs to discuss with you."
Lu Tong followed the dical officer to Cui Min’s room. The dical officer knocked on the door, and after a mont, hearing "Co in," Lu Tong entered carrying her dical box.
Inside the room, Cui Min was sitting, his desk piled high with dical books like a small mountain, and he sat behind this mountain, with an expression too vague to discern.
Lu Tong said, "Envoy."
There was silence in the room.
After a while, Cui Min put down the dical book in his hand and raised his head, looking over to the dical box she was wearing, "You went to the Board of Rites Office to diagnose?"
Lu Tong answered, "Yes."
He nodded, "Going forward, Doctor Wang will take over the duties for the Board of Rites Office; you don’t need to go anymore."
"Yes."
Perhaps because of her compliance, Cui Min seed a little surprised. He paused for a mont, then straightened up, took out a letter from the edge of the desk, and handed it to Lu Tong.
"The Privy Council has sent a dical appointnt, specifically requesting you to diagnose."
Lu Tong received the letter. The jet-black letter was emblazoned with gold, the seal clearly showing two characters: Yan Xu.
Lu Tong was slightly taken aback.
It was the appointnt from Commander Yan Xu of the Privy Council.
She looked up.
Cui Min sat at the desk, still wearing his calm and detached expression, but Lu Tong could see a trace of hidden satisfaction in his eyes, or perhaps schadenfreude.
"Go on," he said, "don’t keep Minister Yan waiting."
