princess is fine

Meeting Gu Huaixiu at this moment, Xi Chao was both surprised and happy.

When she left that year, it was Gu Huaixiu who stayed in Jian'an City to help Elder Sun make the antidote.She was grateful to this man at that time, but it was a pity that Gu Huaixiu was from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although Xi Chao had traveled half the world in the past few years, she had never met him.I never thought that I would meet an old friend here today.

Xi Chao only cared about being excited, but saw Gu Huaixiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You and I meet again after a long absence, don't you want to hug your head and suffer in this street?"

Xi Chao laughed: "You are still so unforgiving when you talk." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a petition, intending to invite him into the hospital.

After what happened just now, the people in the hospital already knew Xi Chao's identity, so they regarded her as one of their own.Seeing her reunite with her old friend now, she tidied up the back hall so that the two of them could catch up on the past later.

It's just that the corner of Gu Huaixiu's mouth curled up slightly and said, "No hurry, I have a friend, and I'll wait for him to come over."

Xi Chao asked suspiciously: "Friend, who is it?"

"Speaking of which, you did meet him once." Gu Huaixiu made a fool of himself and stopped talking.

Dr. Zhao did not return, and Xi Chao was fine at this time, but he waited here with Gu Huaixiu.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Xi Chao saw a man dressed as a scholar walking towards him with a bag on his back. After seeing Gu Huaixiu's figure, he quickened his pace.

"Gu Huaixiu, can't you slow down..." When the man saw Gu Huaixiu, he said with an aggrieved face: "You are very comfortable with empty hands, but unfortunately I have to carry your luggage. If I had known this, I would have I will not resign from office and work as a traveling doctor with you!"

Standing aside, Xi Chao looked at the two people in front of him after hearing these words, Gu Huaixiu stood with his hands behind his back, compared to the other party's appearance, he was really chic.Hearing the man's complaining words, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even bigger: "I can't bear this bit of suffering, you might as well go back to the Imperial Hospital."

The man's face turned red when he was irritated by these words, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Seeing this situation, Xi Chao cautiously pointed at that person: "Doctor Gu, is this your friend?"

Gu Huaixiu nodded: "Did you recognize who he is?"

Xi Chao looked at the man carefully again, but there was no impression in his mind.

Seeing her looking over, the man bowed slightly: "I'm Zheng Mingyuan."

Zheng Mingyuan and Xi Chao recited it silently several times in their hearts, and felt that the name was even more unfamiliar, so they simply saluted and said, "Xi Chao." Then he looked up at Gu Huaixiu, waiting for him to give an answer.

Gu Huaixiu shook his head and sighed: "Zheng Mingyuan, Zheng Mingyuan, you were also the one who accompanied the mission to Daliang that day, tsk tsk."

Only then did Xi Chao suddenly think of a person. The young medical officer who introduced her to Doctor Zhang when she went to ask for medicine with Imperial Doctor Zhang seemed to be the one in front of her.

Thinking of this, Xi Chao finally understood the meaning of Gu Huaixiu's words of "meeting on one side".

Seeing that she had already thought of it, Gu Huaixiu shook his sleeves and said to Zheng Mingyuan: "Today is a good day, I met an old friend, I will let you rest for a while, and go on your way tomorrow."

That medical officer, although he is no longer a medical officer, but Xi Chao still had a good impression of him, he stretched out his hand and said, "Please."

The three chatted for a while in the back hall, and Xi Chao learned that Gu Huaixiu's family has practiced medicine for generations, so there is a family rule. After the children and grandchildren of the family become adults, they must travel for a period of time to see birth, old age, sickness, death, and intractable diseases in the world before returning home. .As for that Mr. Zheng Mingyuan, Mr. Zheng.Gu Huaixiu only said lightly: "It would be too boring to travel all over the rivers and mountains alone. Seeing that he is still useful, let him learn a lot from him."

Zheng Mingyuan's face was naturally blushing again, but he was not as good at talking as Gu Huaixiu, and because of his affection in front of outsiders, he naturally had nothing to do with Gu Huaixiu.

However, when Xi Chao felt that this topic was awkward, he saw Gu Huaixiu reaching out and touching Zheng Mingyuan's head, and said to Xi Chao: "But since he is willing to resign from the imperial hospital, it means that he is still different from those officials. Right, Mingyuan?"

Zheng Mingyuan's originally angry face suddenly became discouraged. He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a few sips of tea, hummed indiscriminately but stopped talking.

Xi Chao's eyes lingered on Gu Huaixiu for a moment, then smiled and stopped talking.

……

"Miss Xi, the old master is back!" Zhang Kun ran to the guest room and shouted.

Hearing this, Xi Chao hurried out, thanked Zhang Kun, and came to the hall.

She came to the medical center to inform the medicine house of Dongshan's situation so that everyone could brainstorm and come up with a cure for the epidemic, and secondly, she also wanted to ask about the recent news of His Highness.

According to the news that Brother Gu mentioned before she left, His Highness should have found out something, but I don't know how she is in the current situation and whether she will encounter any danger... Even though Xi Chao is open-minded, but When the word Xiao Rongjin is involved, it is inevitable to think a little more.

Xi Chao thought in her heart that after the Dongshan matter was resolved, maybe she would go back to Jian'an City, even if she didn't do anything, just to meet that person.

Thinking in this way, Xi Chaoren has arrived at the lobby of the medical hall.

Candles were already lit in the hall of the medical hall at this time. Everyone stood on both sides, and an old man stood in the middle.Beside him, stood a young man, dressed in a blue gown embroidered with cloud patterns, which made the man more warm and moist like jade. His black hair was tied behind his head, revealing a smooth forehead and deep-set eyes.A pair of almond eyes are slightly upturned, with an indescribably calm demeanor.

As soon as Xi Chao saw the man, his heart started to beat hopelessly.She paused for a moment, and barely restrained the urge to call out to that person in her throat, then walked to Dr. Zhao's side and saluted according to the rules of the medicine house, then turned her head and glanced at Xiao Rongjin who was at the side.

Dr. Zhao saw her stroking her beard and smiling: "You are Xi Chao? I heard Brother Sun mention you a long time ago, but now I see you, you are indeed a smart and handsome child."

Xi Chao came back to his senses and exchanged greetings with Dr. Zhao, and seeing that he told everyone to retreat, he said seriously: "The reason why Xi Chao came here is actually..."

Dr. Zhao nodded to stop her words: "I have already guessed the reason for your visit, and there are already some clues about that matter." Speaking of this, he glanced at Xiao Rongjin, saw her nod before continuing: "Now Let’s go into the room and talk about it in detail.”

Xi Chao responded, then took a step behind and followed Dr. Zhao, who happened to be walking with Xiao Rongjin.

She tilted her head to look at Xiao Rongjin beside her, with an uncontrollable smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Rongjin turned a blind eye to her small movements, and still looked straight ahead, but quietly lowered her hands behind her back, just in time to meet Xi Chao's fingers stretched out restlessly.

Xi Chao took the opportunity to hook Xiao Rongjin's finger, and saw that although Xiao Rongjin had no reaction on his face, he did not dare to do anything more excessive.

If Dr. Zhao was not still walking ahead, Xi Chao made up his mind that he would stare at His Highness closely, ask her how she was doing these days, even, even wrap her around her body, hug her tightly and never separate... However, this Everything just exists in Xi Chao's fantasy, now she can only turn sideways and look at Xiao Rongjin who is beside her, letting her heart hit her chest violently one after another.

After a while, Xiao Rongjin suddenly turned around and looked at Xi Chao, who was stunned for a moment before hearing her voice: "Here we are." Only then did she realize that Dr. Zhao had stopped in his tracks and was looking at him with some puzzlement. look at yourself.

Xi Chao suddenly felt his face burn, coughed and said: "Just now I was thinking... I was thinking about Brother Gu and the others, and I don't know what to do."

Dr. Zhao nodded his head to express his understanding, and said, "Here, you must know Xi Chao." Seeing Xi Chao nodded, he continued, "Then, it's all easy to say."

After Xiao Rongjin left Dongshan, she did not go to Xuanzhou to find the Xuanzhou prefect Xie Chongyi, but went straight to Lanxi to find the county magistrate He Daishan.

Although He Daishan was full of resentment, he did not cooperate with Xiao Rongjin's investigation as expected. Later, he invited that Mr. Lu again, and only then did he get a hint of his tone.

The land of Xuanzhou has taken great pains to prevent the epidemic, one of which is reflected in the distribution of herbs to the people of each household at the beginning of spring every year.These herbal medicines are improved from the prescriptions left by the medical saints back then. Although some of the herbs are not rare, they cost a lot of money to purchase in large quantities.It's just that this matter is related to the lives of the people in Xuanzhou, and the previous officials dare not eliminate the troubles on this matter.

However, after the Dongshan epidemic broke out this time, the magistrate of Xuanzhou tried his best to conceal the epidemic, which caused Xiao Rongxuan to ignore the importance of the matter and almost made a big mistake.Secondly, although the Dongshan epidemic is serious, the spread of the epidemic is not serious, which makes one wonder whether the government has used any extreme methods.Furthermore, it is also an extremely important point. If someone makes trouble in the purchase of herbal medicines, where will the huge sum of money saved go?

Xi Chao's heart trembled, she looked at Xiao Rongjin who was frowning slightly and said, "There are indeed some artificial reasons for the plague..."

Dr. Zhao sighed: "We don't know these things at the moment, but we must find a solution to the Dongshan epidemic. Otherwise, a fire will burn not only those innocent lives, but also those unscrupulous people." Evidence of a crime."

Xi Chao nodded, but saw Xiao Rongjin take out a handkerchief, which was wrapped with a dried herb.

"This is?" Xi Chao questioned.

"This is the herb that is different from the previous one. I invited Dr. Zhao to go today to identify this herb." Xiao Rongjin explained.

"This herb is replaced by Xuanzhicao in the prescription. It is very similar to the original medicine. Even the old man discovered the difference after excluding several other medicines." Dr. Zhao continued Xiao Rongjin's explanation. Said: "This medicine does not seem to be produced in my girder."

Xiao Rongjin and Xi Chao were startled at the same time, and looked up at Dr. Zhao.

La la la, continue to follow the plot, you can guess the direction!
