Dianxia Qingcheng

Shen Huan took his apprentice back to Ghost Valley.

In fact, in the past three years, Shen Huan not only taught Shen Jiujiu medical skills, but also taught him many principles of life and work.

Shi's temperament has always been soft and sticky, and he looks dull, and he looks extremely easy to bully, coupled with his previous appearance, Shen Huan dare not take him out unless he is tied around his waist.

Fortunately, after bringing him a human skin mask, it finally made him look like an ordinary person.

But Shen Jiujiu almost lost his life because of the serious injury he suffered before. Shen Huan saved his life, but his body stopped growing.Three years have passed, Xiaotuanzi is still Xiaotuanzi, about the same size as Shen Huan.

Due to drinking too much medicine during this period, Shen Jiujiu's voice was quite different from before.

"Teacher," Shen Huan stirred the dark medicinal soup in the pot while looking at Shi who was squatting and burning firewood.

"Do you know that prime minister you met in the restaurant that day?"

Ten shook his head.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that this prime minister is very strange. Every year on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, he would go to the mountain alone to stay for a day. If you think it's a coincidence, the day I rescued you was also the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Shen Jiujiu threw a piece of firewood in, nodded obediently, "What a coincidence."

Shen Huan stared at him thoughtfully.

"Master, the medicine is almost gone..."

Shen Huan came back to his senses, quickly took down the medicine pot, and poured the dark and viscous liquid into the bowl.

"My dear boy, come here, come here."

Shen Huan smiled at Shen Jiujiu, "Come and try the new recipe of my teacher."

Shen Jiu shook his head, took two steps back, covered his mouth and looked at Shen Huan with a vigilant expression on his face.

"Come on, I assure you, this is the last time, okay? What are you afraid of with your young body? Besides, there are all good things here, such as beetles, scorpion tails, snake skin, toad spider tongue..."

Shen Huan was still counting, Shen Jiu had already turned around and ran out.

"Master, you are lying. You said last time was the last time, so I don't want to drink..."

Shen Huan picked up the bowl and chased after him, "Hey disciple, don't run away, the last time doesn't count, this time is definitely the last time, I guarantee the teacher's personality!" Shen Jiu slowly stopped in his tracks, turned around Looking at Chen Huan, his eyes were wet, "Master... the medicine is so bitter... I don't want to drink it..." Chen Huan looked at his pitiful face and closed his eyes helplessly.

Here again, here again.

Every time he softened his voice and looked at him with those Jianshui Qiutong, Shen Huan couldn't bear to force him anymore.

He always used this trick to escape when he was drinking medicine before, and it still works now.

Shen Huan put down the medicine bowl, "Ten, I ask you, do you want to restore your memory, do you want to remember the past?"

Shen Jiujiu lowered his head, thought seriously for a while, then shook his head lightly, and pulled Shen Huan's sleeve.

"Master, this disciple just wants to stay by your side forever."

Shen Huan stroked his hair, "Hey, this silly boy."

Forget it, since he didn't want to, Chen Huan decided not to force him to drink medicine anymore, nor to study any new formula to restore memory.

Let everything go with the flow, at least now the master and apprentice are very happy to be free every day.

Shen Huan suddenly had nothing to study, and she was a little bit too busy staying in Guigu, so she went out to seek medical treatment in a disguise as before.

It's just that this time I brought a small follower.

The two came to the imperial capital first, and Shen Huan used all his savings to open a medical clinic.

The medical clinic has been open for two days, and there is no one to see a doctor.

Shen Huan sat at the door with a sad face on her face. If she didn't want to appear in the world as a ghost doctor, then the world would not be willing to come to see a doctor in her little-known clinic, and her name would become more and more unknown.

She is now beginning to regret that she lived too chicly in the early years, went out with her true face, and only charged a small amount of money for medical treatment. The name of "ghost doctor" has been established, but there will be a lot of troubles.

It's all right now, I can only sit and eat.

Shen Huan turned his head and saw the young apprentice who was lying on the edge of the counter, seriously not knowing what to write on the paper, and walked over curiously.

As a result, he took a closer look and found that the account book had a portrait of Shen Huan sitting by the door.

Shen Jiu stopped writing, nodded solemnly, and showed Shen Huan the ledger as if asking for credit.

"Master, do you think my painting looks like you?"

Chen Huan looked at the unclear faces and the extremely deformed human body on the notebook, the most resembling part was actually the fake beard stuck on Chen Huan's chin.

The corners of her mouth twitched, "Like, it's so similar! It's not as good as one-tenth of your drawing!"

Shen Huan patted Shen Nineteen's head, "Let's go, go out with me for a walk, if you stay like this, I will be stupid."

The two came to the main street of the imperial capital city. The small commodities sold on both sides of the road were very novel, and Shen Jiu couldn't help but glance around.

Shen Huan saw what he meant, and pulled him to walk quickly. As long as he walked fast, he couldn't see those things clearly.

Suddenly a lot of people gathered in front of them, and Shen Huan pulled Shen Jiujiu to join in the fun.

Squeezing to the front of the crowd, it became clear that there was an imperial list posted on the notice board.

It is said that the Tai Hospital recruits talents and invites doctors with excellent medical skills from all walks of life to exchange ideas. If they can win in the end, the rewards will be very generous.

Shen Huan looked at the imperial list, her eyes almost straightened, and she was thinking quickly, the money was enough for her to open several more clinics.

"I, I, I...cough cough, the old man is willing to give it a try."

Shen Huan lowered his voice and raised his hand in the crowd.

Unexpectedly, the guard glanced at her, ignored her, and yelled at the noisy crowd.

"Not too old or too young!"

Shen Huan reacted quickly, and immediately raised Shen Jiujiu's arm, "Master Jun, I signed up for my apprentice, he can, he can!"

Shen Jiujiu was stunned, and was betrayed by the master just like that.

There are quite a lot of people who signed up, but anyone who knows a little bit of medical skills actively participated.

Shen Jiujiu was about to enter the palace with those doctors, and Shen Huan secretly pulled him aside while others were not paying attention.

"Don't be afraid, my disciples. I participated in the medical skills discussion in this hospital several times in the early years. As long as you pass the preliminary screening, you will be rewarded. Then you can get a reward if you pretend that you can't write a prescription." I have left the palace for the reward, and I will come to pick you up as a teacher when the time comes."

Shen Huan shook his hand, "It's time for you to try to leave the teacher to practice, just remember to talk less and do more, the teacher will have a way to protect you secretly."

Shen Jiujiu nodded, and followed the queue of doctors with three steps and three turns.

The guards led these doctors into the palace through the side entrance of the palace, and a father-in-law explained some rules to them, and then arranged to wait in the empty yard outside the Imperial Hospital.

Shen Jiujiu kept Master's words in mind, and stood alone beside the crowd, quietly staring at the intricately textured stone slabs under his feet in a daze.

The rest of the people gathered together in twos and threes to chat and talk until they were interrupted by a voice.

"Everyone, please be quiet first."

The one who came was a young imperial doctor in official uniform, with a handsome appearance, fair skin and excellent temperament.

"I am the imperial physician of the imperial hospital, Jiang Yubai."

As soon as this remark came out, all the people present were in awe. They had all heard of Jiang Taiji's name, and it was rare to see him today.

"First of all, all doctors are welcome to come here to discuss medical skills with each other. I think you are clear about the specific matters. Now please go back to your residence and rest. Tomorrow, the first competition will officially begin."

After finishing speaking, the eunuch came and took everyone to the wing room on the side of the imperial hospital.

Shen Jiujiu was also following a young eunuch, but when he walked to the doctor Jiang, he was suddenly pulled back.

"What's your name?"

"Shen, Shen Nineteen."

Physician Jiang stared at his face with complicated eyes.

Ten was surprised by him, moved his wrist lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Jiang, can I go?"

The wrist was suddenly released, and Doctor Jiang smiled at him, "Of course, I'm sorry, I didn't scare you."

Shen Jiujiu bent his eyes, and a light flashed on that extremely ordinary face, "It's okay, Doctor Jiang."

After speaking, he followed the little eunuch and left.

After entering his own wing, he lived with a young doctor with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very kind.

"My name is Zhou Wu, what's your name, little brother?"

Standing by the door, Shen Jiujiu tidied up his clothes, and said solemnly to Zhou Wu, "My name is Shen Jiujiu."

"Ten?" Zhou Wu asked, "Do you have ten children in your family?"

Shen Jiu didn't know why he asked this question, but he shook his head blankly, "It was the master who gave me the name, and the master only has me as an apprentice."

Seeing that he looked silly, Zhou Wu stopped teasing him.

The two chatted a little more, and Zhou Wu was even more sure that he was really stupid, but he knew a lot about things related to medical skills.

But the world is full of wonders, so there is no guarantee that this is a little brother who is very talented in medical skills.

The two rested early at night.

On the second day, all the doctors were gathered in the courtyard in front of the Tai Hospital. There were many desks and futons in the courtyard, one for each person.

Surrounded by guards, after the doctors were seated, Jiang Yubai came to ask questions.

The topic was not difficult, and Shen Jiujiu quickly wrote the prescription. Seeing that other people were still writing quickly, he was a little bored sitting in his seat, so he bit his brush and fell into a daze.

Jiang Yubai walked up to him, surprised at his good handwriting, and looked at his prescription carefully. It was true that the medicine was less and the effect was quick, so he nodded in satisfaction.

When the time was up, everyone's prescriptions were collected, and Jiang Yubai checked them one by one on the spot, while the rest sat in their seats and waited for the results.

"Which one is Qian Xingwang?"

Someone stood up.

Jiang Yubai glanced at him, "According to your prescription, one pair will kill you, take it with you."

That Qian Xingwang was lured down by two young eunuchs. He failed the preliminary screening and would be sent directly out of the palace.

"Sun Ran?"

Someone else stood up.

Jiang Yubai looked at him suspiciously, "Are you really good at medicine?"

"A little bit, I've seen doctors for cats, dogs, chickens and ducks."

The corner of Jiang Yubai's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand, "It's okay to leave."

In this way, the number of people sitting below became less and less, and in the end only eight people passed the preliminary screening, including Shen Jiujiu and Zhou Wu.

In addition, Shen Jiu's prescription won No. 1, Zhou Wu won No. 2, and both of them could get a big reward.

"Okay, let's stop here for today's discussion. I will inform you later. You can go back and rest first."

After hearing this, several people stood up and retreated.

At this time, a court lady hurriedly ran outside the gate of the imperial hospital.

"Physician Jiang, Imperial Concubine Xi's illness has relapsed again! Go and have a look!"

Jiang Yubai frowned, and even if he wanted to follow the little maid to Concubine Xi's bedroom.

He suddenly stopped and stopped the two people who were about to leave.

"Shen Nineteen, Zhou Wu, you two will go with me."

Zhou Wu was excited when he heard this, and immediately followed Jiang Yubai's leaving figure in a hurry.

Shen Jiujiu stood on the spot and thought for a while, but unfortunately he couldn't think of anything, and finally followed at a trot.

Concubine Xi is the biological mother of the third princess, Qi Yirou, who was once very favored, and even the third princess is the emperor's most beloved and beloved youngest daughter.

But since ancient times, the emperor was so merciless, and once the favor of Concubine Xi disappeared, her body plummeted, she suffered from some lung diseases, and even coughed up blood from time to time.

After several people arrived, they smelled the bloody smell in the bedroom.

After seeing the person on the bed, it was even more frightening.

The blood coughed up by Concubine Xi's pillow almost soaked the pillow, and it was bright red. She closed her eyes tightly and looked in pain. She was still coughing incessantly in her sleep, and a little bit of blood spilled from her lips.

—The maid next to her kept wiping her with a handkerchief, but it still didn't work.

Jiang Yubai hurried up to feel her pulse, and then sealed her blood in her throat with a silver needle, to make sure that she would not cough up blood again.

Concubine Xi's face was pale, and she kept talking in her sleep.

"Your majesty... Your majesty... My concubine knows it's wrong... My majesty, please take a look at my concubine..."

Standing not far from the bed, Shen Jiujiu watched Jiang Yubai skillfully move the needle, frowning and thinking hard, then walked over as if he suddenly figured something out.

"Doctor Jiang, can I?"

Shen Jiujiu pointed to Concubine Xi's wrist.

Jiang Yubai glanced at him and nodded.

Shen Jiu put his fingers on it lightly, and his brows slowly relaxed. Sure enough, it was just as he thought.

He gently pulled Jiang Yubai's sleeve, whispered in his ear, "Doctor Jiang, I have a solution."

Then he told Jiang Yubai what he was thinking. Jiang Yubai's eyes widened, and he suddenly covered his mouth.

"You tell me to shut up!"

Shen Nineteen blinked innocently, not knowing why.

Jiang Yubai sighed, Shen Jiujiu might not be a fool.

Did he think he really couldn't cure Concubine Xi's illness?

No, the emperor didn't want Concubine Xi's body to get better, so her body had no cure and no way to recover.

Jiang Yubai pretended to prescribe another irrelevant prescription, and hurriedly left the palace with the two of them.

On the way back, Jiang Yubai didn't say a word, and Shen Jiujiu and Zhou Wu followed behind him obediently.

After arriving at Tai Hospital, Zhou Wu went back to his residence to rest, while Shen Jiu was left behind by Jiang Yubai.

"Do you know why I took the two of you there today?"

Shen Nineteen shook his head, "I don't know."

"I just want you to see how complicated it is to work in this palace. Whether someone can be saved or not depends not on how good your medical skills are, but on whether the emperor wants him to live."

Seeing his ignorant look, Jiang Yubai had already seen that his thinking ability was different from that of normal people, so he couldn't help but turn his mind again.

"Who did you learn your medical skills from?"

Shen Jiujiu replied obediently, "I learned from my master."

"Your master, what's your name?"

Shen Jiu shut his mouth tightly and shook his head, his appearance was a bit cute.

Jiang Yubai found it funny, "Why, is it still a big secret? Even if you tell me, I definitely don't know it."

Shen Jiujiu shook his head again, "Master won't let me say it, I want to listen to her."

Jiang Yubai sighed, "Forget it, if you don't say it, don't say it. I don't care to know. You should go back and rest quickly. There will be a second match tomorrow, so you need to get enough energy."

Shen Jiujiu nodded obediently and returned to his residence.

On the second day, the remaining eight doctors went directly to the Tai Hospital, and each of them stayed in a room alone.

Shen Jiujiu strictly obeyed his master's teachings, no matter what questions came up later, he would not answer any more questions, and just waited to be arranged to leave the palace.

But who knows, when the door suddenly opened, a bloody man was carried in.

The two guards threw the unconscious man onto the bed and went out directly.

Shen Jiu hurried to the side of the bed, pinched the man's wrist to feel the pulse, the pulse was already very weak, and if he didn't give medical treatment, his life would be in danger.

Jiang Yubai's voice came from outside.

"The rules are very simple, just let the people inside survive before sunset. Everyone, you can show your magic."

After speaking, the surroundings became quiet, and no movement in other rooms could be heard.

Shen Jiu bit his lip, half kneeled by the bed, clenched his fists and didn't know what to do.

The room is equipped with a lot of medicinal materials, and there is a stove to boil medicine. Shen Jiujiu has a way to keep him alive, but in that case, he will not be able to leave the palace for the time being.

But let him watch this person die without saving him, he can't do it no matter what.

—Gritting his teeth, Shen Jiujiu stood up and began to bustle around the room to treat this person.

The bloody clothes on his body were lightly taken off, and several large cracks had to be stitched up, and then the medicine was prepared and brewed, and the external application and internal administration were all carried out in an orderly manner.

Finally, the sun was about to set.

Jiang Yubai went to check the rooms one by one. Of the eight doctors present, only two of the patients in the room survived.

One is Zhou Wu, and the other is Shen Jiujiu. The person rescued by Shen Jiujiu even showed signs of awakening.

The rest were taken down, received their rewards and went home.

However, Zhou Wu and Shen Jiujiu were left in the imperial hospital as apprentices, and after a period of training and study, they might really be able to become imperial physicians.

Zhou Wu was very excited, this is a great thing that Guangzong Yaozu has a bright future.

But Shen Jiu looked sullen. He wanted to tell Jiang Yubai several times that he wanted to leave the Imperial Hospital and go out of the palace to find his master.

But Jiang Yubai was too busy, and he wasn't the only imperial physician in the entire palace, so everyone asked him to see him by name.

Jiang Yubai is busy every day without touching the ground, so he hopes that he can also accept a well-behaved, obedient, and talented apprentice who will help him solve his problems on weekdays.Although Zhou Wu is very diligent and talented, he always looks too sleek and sophisticated.

Shen Jiu, who was a little silly, was not bad. He was a model, he was obedient and did not exceed the rules, and his words were soft and soft, which made people like him. It was a pity that he was snatched away first.

Before Shen Nineteen could find the right time to explain to Jiang Yubai about leaving the palace, someone came to the imperial hospital to "invite" Jiang Yubai.

This time, it was not a eunuch or maid from any bedroom, but a guard in black.

When Shen Jiu saw the guard head-on, he couldn't help being stunned. Isn't this person the one he saw in Yipinxiang last time?

The guard obviously recognized him too, nodded slightly at him, and then went straight to the pharmacy where Jiang Yubai was.

After a while, I saw the cold-faced guard pulling Jiang Yubai's wrist and dragging him out of it.

"Chengfeng! I don't want to send that woman to see a doctor! You let me go! It hurts! If my wrist is about to break, can you be responsible!"

"can."

The guard relaxed his hands a little, ignored Jiang Yubai's struggle, and dragged him towards the entrance of the Tai Hospital with a blank expression.

Shen Jiujiu stepped aside obediently, and waved goodbye to Jiang Yubai.

Jiang Yubai rolled his eyes angrily, "Shen Nineteen! You send me here! Come with me!"

Shen Jiujiu didn't know what he did wrong. Was it wrong to wave goodbye to the person who was leaving?

He stood at the gate of the prime minister's mansion, looking at this imposing mansion, he was a little afraid to step in.

What are you resisting in your heart?He doesn't know either.

"Hurry up, both of you, why are you dawdling, your feet stick to the ground?"

Jiang Yubai walked in with ease, as if he was standing in his own courtyard, and turned to look at Shen Shijiu and Zhou Wu at the door.

Zhou Wu was so shocked that he didn't even enter the prime minister's mansion when he entered the palace, which made him so frightened.

Shen Jiujiu looked at the empty courtyard and stepped in.

Passing through the front yard, promenade, several circular arches, and a bamboo forest, there is a loft in front of you. The plaque says "Shuixieju".

Along the way, the huge prime minister's mansion did not see a few servants, the whole courtyard was quiet, gloomy and lifeless.

The second princess Qi Bingzhi lived in this "Shuixieju". Everyone knew that she had a marriage contract with Prime Minister Pei Zheng for three years, but what happened back then was unknown. During the wedding ceremony, the groom disappeared.

Later, the groom reappeared, but he was seriously injured and unconscious.

The emperor promised to wait until Pei Zheng recovers from his injury, and then choose an auspicious day to make up for the wedding, but after Pei Zheng recovered from his injury, the matter was delayed again and again, and it actually dragged on for three years.

The door of Shuixieju was opened, Jiang Yubai walked in first, and asked Zhou Wu and Shen Jiu to wait outside.

Standing outside Shuixieju, Shen Jiujiu looked around, and suddenly found a small building not far away. Unfortunately, he could only see the exquisite eaves flying like swallows. He looked slightly fascinated.

At this time, a little maid rushed to Shuixieju, opened the door and went in, shouting, "Princess, princess, your lord is back!"

A surprised voice came from inside, "Quick, help me up, I'm going to greet you!"
