Chapter 57: Cheap Apprentice
"Exactly!" After Wu Lao finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Yue Qingran embarrassedly, "Girl, you have a lot of ideas, is there any better way?" β
Yue Qingran shook her head, "You also know that I don't see that patients can't prescribe the right medicine, just listening to what you said, I don't dare to make conclusions easily." β
"What then?" Wu Lao looked worried.
"Is there a way for me to go and see the prince in person?"
"This-" Wu Lao hesitated a little, "girl, you have injuries on your body, and you should not move." β
"It's okay, you can bring me some painkillers and a few silver needles at that time, and my injury won't have much effect."
Although Wu Lao was a little hesitant, there was no better way now but to go back and persuade Mu Tong.
"That's right, girl." Wu Lao took out two porcelain bottles from his arms, "This is the best gold sore medicine made by the old man, and this, the effect on wound healing is excellent, by the way, there is also this pill to take the pain-relieving effect immediately." β
Yue Qingran opened her mouth and swallowed the two pills handed over by Wu Lao, her voice was a little choked, "Master! β
"What? What? What do you call me? Wu Lao plucked his ears in disbelief.
Yue Qingran pretended to be angry and turned her head away, "It's nothing, you don't want to forget it!" β
"No, no, no, don't regret what you say! Don't you want such a cheap apprentice? Am I really confused? But don't you have a master? Then this-" Wu Lao looked embarrassed.
Yue Qingran raised her chin arrogantly, "Who said there can only be one master?" Can't you just be a second master? Or do you not want to? β
"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Lao nodded like pounding garlic.
Yue Qingran looked apologetic, "Please forgive me for inconvenience in paying homage to you now, and the tea will have to go out from here." β
"It's okay, don't worry, master, oh no second master, I can afford to wait." As he spoke, Wu Lao rubbed his hands and looked at Yue Qingran with ill will, "That-girl, good apprentice, from now on, you will be the master's closed disciple, the second master, I will never hide my selfishness from now on, I will definitely teach you what you have learned all your life, and you can't hide your private selfishness, if there is anything that you have never seen or heard of as a teacher, you must communicate and discuss with your teacher." β
Yue Qingran's whole little face wrinkled together, "Who is the master here?" Can I regret it now? β
"Don't even think about it!" Wu Lao vetoed it, "Okay, good man, I'll leave for the teacher, you take care of your injuries, and wait for the teacher to pick you up." β
After Yue Qingran took the pill, she felt that the pain in her body had subsided slightly, and when she saw that Wu Lao was leaving, she wanted to get up and send it.
I didn't want to be rejected by Wu Lao, "Okay, you don't move, the old man will leave by himself, and I don't need you to send it." β
Yue Qingran didn't insist anymore, and watched Wu Lao leave, until he couldn't see the figure at all, and then he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
In her previous life, her family affection was weak, and she didn't have any friends when she was alone, but in this world, her cold heart was touched again and again, and she also cherished this hard-won relationship very much.
Gradually, even she didn't realize that she had changed dramatically.
As the saying goes, adversity sees true love, and the corners of Yue Qingran's mouth have never gone down, clutching the medicine bottle sent by Wu Lao tightly and refusing to put it down, until he falls asleep.
"I disagree!" Mu Tong took the case.
Wu Lao didn't expect Mu Tong, who had always stood on Yue Qingran's side, to react like this, "Why? Is there a better way than to let the moon girl try it now? β
Mu Tong was speechless for a while, "Anyway, I don't agree, although I don't believe that it was Miss Yue who did it, but until she completely clears the suspicion, she is not allowed to get close to the prince no matter what, I don't allow any danger around the prince, especially at this time." β
Wu Lao hurriedly walked back and forth, "Why can't you make sense?" is stubborn with your master, do you want to save the prince? β
Mu Tong thought about it and nodded, "Naturally, I want to, but even Old Wu can't help it, Miss Yue, she-"
"Don't underestimate her, have you forgotten? You've seen her medical skills with your own eyes, she has a lot of ideas, and her treatments are always unexpected, maybe she really has a way; If you really have a heart, then you will be watching from the sidelines. β
Mu Tong glanced at Chu Junmo on the bed and nodded heavily.
Wu Lao patted Mu Tong's solid chest with a smile, "That's right, but this matter has to be kept secret, you know, I know, she knows, there must be no fourth person to know, this matter must be arranged properly, and everyone must be avoided." β
"I'll arrange this matter, if the prince doesn't wake up before dark tomorrow, he will act."
Wu Lao nodded and agreed.
'Knock knock knock! There was a knock at the door.
The two of them were instantly silent, "Come in!" β
Steward Qiu walked in with a food box, "The old slave saw that Imperial Doctor Wu didn't use much for dinner because of the prince's affairs, and thought that it was time to be hungry now, so he ordered the kitchen to make some supper, and it happened that Mu Tong was also there, so you can also eat a little together." β
"Steward Qiu has a heart." Wu Lao said politely.
Steward Qiu nodded, and while putting the supper in the food box on the table, he looked at Chu Junmo on the bed with a worried expression, "How is he, Lord Wang?" β
"Lord Wangβ" As soon as Mu Tong wanted to tell Steward Qiu about the wake of the prince, he remembered Old Wu's explanation.
looked at Wu Lao, and when he saw him shaking his head, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"What's wrong with him, lord?" The look of worry on Steward Qiu's face was even worse.
"Lord Wang, he's still like that, and I don't know when I'll wake up, hey!" Mu Tong sighed heavily.
Steward Qiu looked at the bed again, full of emotion, "Lord Wang, he has a bad fate when he is young." β
As if remembering something, Steward Qiu looked back at Elder Wu and asked, "I heard that Imperial Doctor Wu went to the dungeon today?" β
The chopsticks in Wu Lao's hand paused, and then picked up the side dishes in the bowl casually, "Yes, I heard that the girl suffered a little today, after all, she has been together for a few days, so I thought about going to visit and see if I could find any clues." β
"Oh? Did Wu Lao gain something? β
Wu Lao shook his head, "That girl insisted that she didn't do it, it doesn't seem to be a fake, but-"
Wu Lao glanced at Steward Qiu with a little meaning, "If it weren't for her, who else?" You? β
Steward Qiu nodded, "Yes, who else is she not?" β
After Steward Qiu left, Mu Tong asked Elder Wu curiously, "Does Elder Wu think Steward Qiu is suspicious?" β
Wu Lao nodded, "Before the real culprit is found, not only Yue Yatou, but everyone in the palace will be suspicious, including you and me." β
Wu Lao paused for a moment and continued: "Moreover, in addition to the moon girl, there are many people who have the conditions to commit crimes, if it is someone else, then this person must be the master who can speak in the palace." β
Mu Tong nodded, agreeing with what Wu Lao said.
