After everyone left, Xiahou Ying got up and poured a cup of hot tea and put it in Yu Wenlin's hand.

"Tell me, why do you want to dress as a man?" Xiahou Ying asked Yu Wenlin with a smile.

"You, you know everything......" Yu Wenlin lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"From the time I was on the mountain, I knew you weren't a man. But I don't understand, Jishitang doesn't accept female disciples, why do you want women to dress up as men? Xia Houying asked the doubts in her heart.

"Miss Lu, you saved me, you are my benefactor, and I don't want to hide it from you. Actually, my real name is Yu Wenling, a person from Jiangbei. My father is also a doctor, and I have been practicing medicine with him since I was a child. Yu Wenling began to slowly recall his past.

"My father was just a barefoot doctor in the countryside and had never studied orthodox medicine, but he was kind-hearted and devoted to the world, and he always hoped to use his meager medical skills to help more people." At the mention of his father, Yu Wenling's original nervousness gradually relaxed.

"That year, the great floods in the north of the Yangtze River washed away countless fields and houses. And immediately after the flood, there was an outbreak of the epidemic. My father couldn't find a cure for the epidemic in medical books, so in order to better understand the symptoms of the epidemic, he visited the sick again and again, and finally contracted the epidemic ......."

Yu Wenling slowly lowered his head, as if trying to calm his emotions, and after a long while, he raised his head again.

"I was only 12 years old at the time, and I couldn't do anything but cry when I watched my father being taken away from quarantine by officers and soldiers...... That was the last time I saw my father, who died of illness not long after. In order to prevent contagion, he could not even be buried in the earth, and was only burned clean by a fire......"

Before the words were finished, Yu Wenling had already shed tears, and Xiahou Ying was also very moved by what happened to him, and couldn't help but step forward and wrap his arms around Yu Wenling's shoulders.

"At that time, I almost hated the epidemic to death! I swear that when I grow up, I will become the best doctor in the whole New Year, and I will definitely develop a medicine that can cure the epidemic! Yu Wenling clenched his fists and choked.

However, not long after, the imperial court suddenly said that it had found a way to treat the epidemic, and it was Zhang Shiqi and Zhang Taiyi of the Imperial Hospital in the palace who developed a prescription for the treatment of the epidemic! I was thinking at the time, I must worship this Imperial Doctor Zhang as a teacher in the future! But ......" Yu Wenling lowered his head a little helplessly.

"But there is a rule under the Zhang Yuan's judgment, which does not accept female disciples......" Xiahou Ying said the second half of the sentence for Yu Wenling softly.

Yu Wenling bit her lower lip and nodded helplessly.

"In order to worship Zhang Yuan's judgment as a teacher, you disguised yourself as a man and entered Jishitang, but this is not a long-term solution after all." Xia Houying said worriedly.

"I also know that this is not a long-term solution, but now that Zhang Yuanju is very fond of me, if my injury medicine can be successfully developed, he will definitely take me as an apprentice! This is my greatest wish in this life, and I can't give it up! Yu Wenling said with a stubborn face.

"Ling'er, I can understand your feelings, but ...... Have you ever wondered what you would do if things came to light? Xiahou Ying looked at Yu Wenling and asked seriously.

"I ......" Yu Wenling lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

Looking at Yu Wenling's appearance, Xiahou Ying shook her head helplessly, "Okay, if you are willing to believe me, I will help you!" Xiahou Ying took Yu Wenling's hand and said solemnly.
