It's like the rest of the people who can't keep up with the food in this infirmary, and they sell themselves to become apprentices, fulfilling the duties of an ordinary apprentice.

At 4 a.m., the board opened.

Clean the pharmacy and turn over the warehouse.

and the families of the patients who came to make trouble and scolded angrily...... Fight wits and courage.

In the end, you have to use your rough skin and thick body to resist the opponent's punches and kicks, hoping to extinguish the opponent's anger in this way.

tremblingly followed the master's side, sneaking deep into the courtyard of the deep house, treating diseases that could not be told to outsiders in the dark.

Once upon a time, the violent factor in Gu Zheng's blood had to burst out several times, but it was for the client's future ...... Those who were affected by it endured.

Compared with the course of the past three years, the previous wind, frost, snow and rain are nothing.

Because in the past three years, it is not only the richness of knowledge, but also the bumpy life of a person at the bottom in a strange period.

He was taught a very philosophical way of being a healer.

Looking at the master who had healed a person from a wealthy family again in front of him and got a generous consultation fee.

Gu Zheng was rare, full of gratitude to this old man who abandoned his views on the portal and threw an olive branch towards him, a talented and beautiful jade.

"Master, Master, go slowly, I'll help you carry the medical box, and let your old man relax and relax. ”

"What do you kid want to do, don't you want to pit your master's good things again?"

"Didn't I give you twenty dollars for today's reward? Don't be insatiable, don't follow the example of the unsuccessful man to eat and drink and play tricks on women!"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng added a little unconvinced: "But Master, you haven't given me a penny in the past three years." ”

"I don't even have a good fortune, let alone the reward promised every time, I haven't seen it!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhicai just wanted to blow his beard and stare at Gu Zheng to refute him, when he saw that in front of the Xu Family Medical Hall, which could see the gate from a distance, there were two people in ordinary clothes who were looking around, as if they were waiting for them to arrive.

As soon as they saw this, Xu Zhicai and Gu Zheng stopped being poor in an instant.

They silently closed their mouths and slowly paced towards the back door of the infirmary.

Who knows, there are also people in this state at the back door, seeing this, Xu Zhicai's master and apprentice's worries are really in front of them.

There is no escape this time.

Xu Zhicai, who didn't know what he was going to face, was about to push the door when he was going to push the door, but the person lying on the side of the door was brightened and greeted Xu Zhicai.

"But Dr. Xu?"

"It's old age. ”

"Your Majesty has an order, come with me!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhicai sighed, and gently stuffed the gold ingot he had just got in his sleeve into the other party's hand: "I don't know this official, can you know Your Majesty's intentions this time?"

Under Xu Zhicai's actions, the person on the opposite side was not as greedy as before, but returned the ingot directly to Xu Zhicai's hands, shook his head lightly, but the warning in his eyes was not less than half a point.

Doctor Xu said with a smile, how can the little one know His Majesty's thoughts, I hope that Dr. Xu should not be embarrassed by the little ones, and the doctors in the palace will naturally know His Majesty's intentions. ”

It seems that this time it will be a secret event, the more this is the more worried Xu Zhicai, who issued an order to Gu Zheng: "Gu boy, give me the medicine box, you take care of my home for me!"

"No!" Hearing this, Gu Zheng immediately denied Master's decision: "Master, I'll go with you, after all, you also know who my old master is." ”

The rest of the words, through their three-year friendship between master and apprentice, do not need to say much.

That is, if there is a good one, apprentice, I can still help you intercede with Your Majesty.

Seeing Gu Zheng's eyes so firm, Xu Zhi knew that no matter how much nonsense he had, it was useless.

And he also knew that His Majesty's purpose for entering the palace today was him, not his apprentice.

Therefore, this white-bearded old man rarely let go of the hand that had already grabbed the medicine box.

patted Gu Zheng lightly on the shoulder twice, and said, "Then let's go!"

The two people who were like living treasures walked quietly like this.

The sunset stretched the figures of the two people for a very long time.

The palace in the evening was illuminated incomparably brightly, but this could not warm Gu Zheng's increasingly cold heart.

Because since he followed Master to this palace complex that he was not familiar with, he had been separated from Master.

He was taken to this empty side hall.

In the hall on the other side, there are two figures, Master and His Majesty.

As time passed minute by minute, Gu Zheng, who was waiting, had an ominous premonition that was strengthening bit by bit.

And in the hall on the side, a storm is about to be staged.

"Xu Zhicai, let me ask you again, Xiao Baorong's Taihe Palace, are you going or not?"

Xu Zhicai, who was kneeling on the ground, leaned down very low, and the condescending Xiao Yan couldn't see the true expression of this old man at all.

But in the other party's body, which was bent but showed a strong posture, there was a bold and disobedient voice: "Your Majesty, there are thousands of doctors in this world, why do you have to choose me, a bad old man with a little name?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan, the Emperor of Southern Liang, who was standing at the top, smiled: "Doctor Xu is really humble, if you are also a quack, then how many people in my Southern Liang can be called a real healer?"

"If you are not a famous doctor, then why did the emperor of the former Southern Qi Dynasty, the current King of Baling, not let the imperial doctor around me get close except for your diagnosis and treatment?"

"What do you say, Dr. Xu?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhicai's body shook slightly, as if he had accepted his fate, and returned: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, if King Baling is really sick, what kind of illness is it, Xiaomin has never even seen the disease, how can it be diagnosed and treated?"

Seeing that Xu Zhicai was no longer slippery, Xiao Yancai continued word by word: "If I say, no matter what kind of illness King Baling has, I only need one result, I don't know Doctor Xu, can you do it?"

Hearing this, there is no need to say more, Xu Zhicai understands.

The relationship between King Baling and His Majesty has reached a state where he knows it by heart.

And at this time, Your Majesty no longer needs this Baling King, who has been squeezed out of potential value and has no effect, to live anymore.

It may be because of his identity as a famous doctor in the former Southern Qi Dynasty, King Baling, who noticed something, no longer imported any medicine at will.

And the current Majesty, who is still a little patient, doesn't want to make things too ugly, so he thinks of the doctor-patient method of killing people with a knife.

It's just that this majesty is thinking a little wrong, his resolute and resolute departure from the crown, and the creed of never letting his hands be filled with the blood of innocent people, in today's situation, he, an old man who doesn't know each other, will inevitably disappoint his majesty today.

Xu Zhicai, who was lying on the cold stone floor of His Highness, seemed to have returned to many years ago.

Xiao Chen, an old friend who has given him countless help, is a rare emperor who cares about the people's livelihood and cares about the suffering of the people at the bottom.

This man who will not laugh at him because of his former ambitions, the powerlessness of his former self against the illness and death of such a wise emperor, is still surrounded in his heart and cannot be dispersed for a long time.

The generous emperor who was on the sickbed many years ago, even at the moment before he died, never complained about his incompetence.

For all this, he will never forget for the rest of his life.

And the descendants of this family who he has endured great kindness, the strange emperor in front of him, is forcing him to solve it with his own hands?

Oh, what a sarcasm.

Xu Zhicai, whose thoughts were turning, finally made a decision that would last a lifetime, and he slowly straightened up from the floor.

For the first time, he abandoned the way of life that should be feared for a high-ranking person, and stared at the emperor with the momentum of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and said the following words word by word: "Your Majesty, I need my medicine box." ”

Xiao Yan, who consciously understood this sentence, finally turned his uncertain face just now, and with a rare smile, he agreed to Xu Zhicai: "This is natural, no matter what Doctor Xu needs, I can prepare for it here." ”

After all, King Baling is also a pillar of the country, and his illness naturally involves major events of the court and the country. ”

"Just mention what you need to me together, I won't treat Dr. Xu and King Baling badly. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was finally normal, he slowly leaned over to the ground and replied quietly: "Wow!"

When he got up, he didn't say anything more, quietly waiting for His Majesty's next arrangement.

Sure enough, after a moment's effort, Xu Zhicai was taken to the side hall by the waiter who entered through the side door, and Gu Zheng, who was afraid of being at ease, was already waiting in it, anxiously looking forward to the little news coming out of the outside.

It wasn't until he saw the figure of the late master at the gate that Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a big deal, it seems that the matter of entering the palace this time is not as dangerous as I guessed in my heart.

And the indifferent expression on Xu Zhicai's face also confirmed Gu Zheng's guess from the side.

When he saw that his closed disciple was waiting helplessly here at this time, he smiled with relief.

"Ah, you're still here, I thought you would be sent out of the palace by Your Majesty. ”

"I think you still have a bit of status in the heart of His Majesty the original owner. ”

"And if nothing else, pour me a cup of tea. ”

"You and I have been a master and apprentice for many years, and there are not many times that we can drink the tea soup you cook by yourself. ”

"While your majesty is still generous, take advantage of his good tea to moisten your master's mouth. ”

"Whoa!"

Gu Zheng didn't doubt anything else, turned around and walked to the place where the tea set was placed on one side, and didn't forget to tell the only attendant who served in this side hall to go outside the hall to fetch some hot water.
