Chapter 502 I'll wait here?
Lu Yangyang didn't know where to look for a moment.
She truly hadn't expected Zong Que to be taking a bath...
Medicated bath.
The room was filled with a strong smell of herbs.
This prescription was revised by Wen Qingqing; they finalized it after discussing it together, and planned to modify it as needed based on its effects, to invigorate the meridians and heal hidden injuries. Originally, Wen Qingqing was supposed to soak the herbs after taking Zong Que's pulse for the first time, but they had been traveling for the past few days and simply hadn't had the opportunity.
When she came back, she reminded Wen Qingqing to make sure Zong Que got the medicine. She just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
Why didn't Pei Ji stop her?
what?
Lu Yangyang belatedly blushed and slowly turned around. Well, actually she didn't see anything; she was just too shocked, and for some reason, she felt a little nervous.
Behind them, Zong Que's slightly surprised voice rang out, "Yangyang?"
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to find me? Is something wrong?"
Lu Yangyang felt her heart beating very fast, in a way that was very wrong.
She even had a momentary lapse in judgment, forgetting for a moment why she had come.
“I’ll come…” Lu Yangyang was stuck. What was she supposed to do here?
Does Your Highness like her?
No, you can't ask that.
Should she tell His Highness that although she hadn't thought that much about it, she liked him?
It doesn't seem right either.
So what was she trying to say?
Lu Yangyang picked at her fingers, questioning for the first time whether her brain was not working properly. Why couldn't she think of anything or make any sense at this moment?
Lu Yangyang really wanted to pull out a handful of her hair to see if it could help her think quickly.
Zong Que seemed to sense her nervousness and gently comforted her, "If Yangyang isn't in a hurry, please wait for me for a while?"
Lu Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief. "Right, right, wait a moment, no rush, no rush."
but……
Without thinking, she blurted out, "Should I wait here?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she froze. No, what was she saying?
Shouldn't she have said she would wait outside?
Who waits next to someone taking a bath? That's so strange!
Lu Yangyang wished she could turn back time so she could take back what she said.
But then she couldn't help but frown. Something was wrong. What was she so nervous about? As a doctor, what hadn't she seen? It was just a medicinal bath; was there anything she couldn't see?
Zong Que paused slightly, then chuckled softly, "Then Yangyang, go get a chair. It might take a while. Doctor Wen instructed that it should soak for two hours, and only a quarter of an hour has passed."
That means there's still one and a half hours left...
Lu Yangyang froze. What was she thinking?
Lu Yangyang realized what was happening and fled in panic, leaving behind the words, "I'll wait outside!"
After escaping, Lu Yangyang could still faintly hear Zong Que's muffled laughter.
My face is so red it feels like it's burning.
Turning his head, he saw Pei Ji leaning against a pillar, holding a sword, whistling at the sparrows under the eaves.
Their eyes met, and Lu Yangyang, remembering that Pei Ji hadn't even reminded her of this, gritted her teeth and said, "You've got a lot of free time, huh?"
Pei Ji glanced at her still flushed face and replied quietly, "I thought you came right on time."
Lu Yangyang paused for a moment, then angrily kicked a small pebble, startling a flock of sparrows into flight before turning and walking away.
Pei Ji shook his head: "They're all quite abstract."
He glanced down at the scattered millet on the ground, realizing he had wasted a handful of excellent millet without catching a single sparrow.
Lu Yangyang walked out of the yamen, intending to come back later.
As soon as they stepped out of the government office, they saw a group of people gathered not far ahead, as if something had happened.
Lu Yangyang hurried over and saw a man in the crowd, his clothes faded from washing and his face haggard and anxious, kneeling on the ground. Beside him was a pale-faced pregnant woman on the verge of death. The man was sweating profusely and repeatedly kowtowing to a middle-aged Taoist priest in a Taoist robe. "Taoist priest, please have mercy and grant us a magic pill! My family has only had one son for three generations, and we cannot lose this child! Please, please! We have already raised enough money for incense offerings, but the temple is closed, and we are not allowed to enter. We only need one magic pill to save my wife and child. Even if we have to be your slaves, we will repay you! Please have mercy, Taoist priest! We are willing to offer all our wealth, just to ask you to grant us one magic pill!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest, who was being held back, looked extremely helpless: "I am truly powerless. Your wife is having a difficult childbirth. You should go find a midwife and a doctor. By blocking me like this, aren't you delaying the rescue? No matter how many times I tell you, I don't have the elixir you mentioned. You just won't believe me and insist on bothering me. Now that we've arrived at the yamen, why won't you let me go?"
The people surrounding them also started discussing it.
"This man is pitiful. His wife's condition is so bad that only a magic pill can save her life!"
"I heard that all the Immortal Temples in Yuzhou City were closed early this morning. I wonder what happened?"
“A few days ago, someone saw the government officials mobilized. According to reliable sources, the Immortal Temple outside the city has also been completely sealed off!”
"Heavens! Isn't this going to offend the immortals?!"
"This woman is truly pitiful. At this critical juncture, she has offended an immortal. I'm afraid she's beyond saving!"
"If the government shut down the Immortal Temple, there must be a reason, right? Offending the immortals like this puts the common people in a bad light."
"Keep your voice down! This is outside the government office. Be careful not to get caught and flogged!"
Lu Yangyang pushed through the crowd and strode towards the pregnant woman. She bent down to examine her and said urgently, "She's having a difficult labor and is already exhausted. If we delay any longer, she'll die. I'm a doctor, I'll take her to the government office first!"
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, someone who understands has come!"
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly turned around and stood in front of the pregnant woman, forcefully shoving Lu Yangyang to the ground.
Lu Yangyang was so focused on checking on the pregnant woman that she was caught off guard and fell to the ground. She frowned and said coldly, "What are you doing? She's in danger! Get out of the way!"
“Girl, we have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm us? I ran to several Taoist temples before finally meeting this Taoist priest on the street. I was just waiting to get the elixir so that my wife and children could be saved, but you had to jump out and stop me. What are you up to? Why do you want to harm us like this!” The man stood in front of the pregnant woman, glaring at Lu Yangyang fiercely, warily and angrily.
It seems that Lu Yangyang is a murderer who harms people.
Those around them echoed this sentiment.
"Exactly! This little girl calling herself a doctor is utter nonsense!"
"She is quite beautiful, but what is she up to? She is about to ask for the elixir to save her life, why is she stopping her?"
"Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, but she's not trying to save anyone, she's clearly trying to harm them!"
