24: Chapter 24 Being Targeted
When Chu Baihan arrived at Qianling Pavilion, she discovered that the Tang Sect had not only delivered the money but also filled the room with top-quality dicinal materials.
Now that Guangming Hall had basically taken all the dicinal materials in the capital city, it was surprising that the Tang Sect could deliver so much in such a short amount of ti.
The power behind the Tang Sect might be far beyond her imagination.
Doctor Wu saw Qian Ying following behind Chu Baihan and quickly helped cover up the matter with the Tang Sect, claiming it was his friend who helped get the materials.
Although Ziyi harbored suspicions, she did not pursue the matter further.
“By the way, young miss, there is a child at Qianling Pavilion who insisted on seeing you,” said Doctor Wu suddenly.
A child?
Chu Baihan frowned, but then she saw a small figure running over from the back yard and coming straight up to her.
It was…
that little beggar.
She was still wearing the tattered clothes from the other day, but her face was cleaned up, her eyes clear and bright.
“I said before, I’d co to repay you,” she said with a stubborn tone.
Chu Baihan couldn’t help but smile.
She asked directly, “And how can you repay ?”
“I, I…” The little beggar blushed, struggling to speak.
Seeing her like this, Chu Baihan was reminded of herself in the past and decided not to tease her anymore.
Her tone softened, “From now on, you can help out with chores around Qianling Pavilion.”
“Yes, I, I will do my best!” the little beggar promised, lifting her head with determination.
“Young miss, those people also asked
to give you this,” Doctor Wu suddenly approached, holding sothing in his hand.
Chu Baihan took it and realized it was an invitation from Guangming Hall.
“The Su Family will hold a dical competition in a few days.
If you’re considering opening a clinic, young miss, it would be good to observe,” Doctor Wu suggested.
A glint flashed in Chu Baihan’s eyes; she had been thinking along the sa lines.
Making progress behind closed doors is impractical; she needed to see other dical establishnts.
“Good, I will go,” Chu Baihan nodded quickly.
…
“Princess Consort, are we really not going to be recognized?” Ruolan followed behind Chu Baihan, both wearing veils and dressed so plainly that not a single piece of jewelry could be found on them.
“Don’t worry, we won’t be,” Chu Baihan said calmly.
She hadn’t returned to the capital in eleven years.
How could anyone recognize her?
“By the way, how is Qianling Pavilion doing?” Chu Baihan asked aloud.
“Reporting back to the Princess Consort, Qianling Pavilion has been refurbished and will soon be ready to reopen,” Ruolan answered earnestly.
Chu Baihan nodded; indeed, with enough money, everything was easier.
“By the way, don’t call
Princess Consort in front of others.
Just call
miss,” she said.
“Yes, miss.”
“What is your business here?” They had just reached the entrance of the Su Family clinic when several stout n blocked their way.
“We are here to participate in the dical competition,” Ruolan quickly produced the invitation.
“You’re a doctor?” One of the stout n looked skeptically at Chu Baihan and then said aloud.
Many people and doctors had already gathered here, attracted by the excitent and novelty of the three-day dical conference, and they naturally wouldn’t miss it.
Now, hearing this loud question, everyone turned to look.
Their gazes naturally fell upon Chu Baihan.
“That girl looks to be under twenty years old; how could she possibly be a doctor?”
“Exactly, is the Su Family’s invitation just given out randomly?
Historically, it’s rare to hear of a woman being a doctor!”
“Hey, don’t say that, won can indeed be doctors.
Isn’t there a female divine doctor in Jiangnan who is incredibly skilled with the silver needle?”
“Forget Jiangnan, we have won in the capital city who know dical skills, too.
Everyone knows about the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor Liu, right?
She has been learning dical skills from the court doctors since she was young, very clever indeed.
The emperor has praised her several tis.”
The commoners began to discuss among themselves.
The eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Liu?
Chu Baihan slightly furrowed her brows.
Wasn’t that…
the daughter-in-law the Crown Princess was fond of?
Unexpectedly, she also knew dical skills.
“Yes, yes, yes, I had forgotten about that if you hadn’t ntioned it.
The other day, Miss Liu saved a child with a broken bone on the street; she really has a heart of gold.”
“What’s most important is she has good dical skills.
To be able to save such a severe broken bone case ans her skills are unquestionable.
Oh, and I heard she’s participating in this competition, too.”
“Really?
With Miss Liu’s noble status, even the Crown Prince wants to marry her into the family.
Why would she deign to compete with the common people here?”
“I don’t know about that; perhaps Miss Liu simply wants to exchange dical knowledge with the doctors here while helping others,” the commoners speculated.
“Yes, of course.
Miss Liu is truly kind and beautiful.”
The surrounding people praised Liu Shuxin, piquing Chu Baihan’s curiosity.
“Can we go in now?” Seeing the stout man still holding her invitation, Chu Baihan asked with a frown.
“The Commandery Prince said that this competition is to provide an opportunity for doctors with real talent to showcase their skills and absolutely forbids any imposters from mixing in.
If you want to enter, you must prove your dical skills right here,” the stout man replied, putting the invitation behind him and speaking to Chu Baihan in a hostile tone.
“Why can they just use their invitations to get in while you target us specifically?”
Ruolan noticed several n getting in just by showing their invitations and was outraged.
“Even if it is intentional, what about it?
Leave now if you won’t prove yourselves, and don’t block the entrance,” commanded the stout man, waving his hand nacingly.
“You…”
“I believe this young lady must have dical skills,” just at that mont, a gentle voice ca from behind them.
