Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Shi Jia couldn't refuse the emperor's request unless she wanted to die right now. So, she could only agree to it honestly.

But for the emperor, Buyuan Dan is like drinking poison to quench thirst. It can stimulate the emperor's last bit of vitality. But once the medicinal power of Buyuan Dan, which serves as fuel, dissipates, he will die immediately and there is no way he can be saved.

Shi Jia was worried, not knowing what task he would have to do next. He had dug such a big hole for himself, really...

"President Zhao, we've arrived at the Marquis of Anding's Mansion." Eunuch Huang reminded.

That’s right, Shi Jia was given an official title, the position of Chief Judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, which was also an offer he could not refuse.

Shi Jia came to her senses after hearing this, got out of the car, and bowed to Eunuch Huang, "Eunuch Huang, thank you." If it weren't for this eunuch, she would have been trapped in the palace today.

Eunuch Huang turned aside and only half-saluted, saying, "You are welcome, Judge Zhao. The medicinal materials will be delivered this afternoon. I hope that Judge Zhao can speed up the preparation of the Yuan-boosting Pill. I will come to get the medicine the day after tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I will make the medicine as soon as the herbs arrive." Shi Jia promised.

Eunuch Huang nodded and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

At this time, the door of Anding Marquis's Mansion opened, and Madam Ling came out. Eunuch Huang could only turn around and bow to the old lady, "Madam."

"Why is Eunuch Huang so anxious? Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea before leaving?" Old Madam Ling was in a good mood when she saw Shi Jia was safe and sound.

"No, His Majesty is still waiting for me to return and serve him." said Eunuch Huang.

"Okay, then we won't keep the eunuch any longer, Nanny Qin." Old Madam Ling called out, and Nanny Qin came to Eunuch Huang holding a tray.

"Thank you, Eunuch Huang, for your care for Doctor Zhao. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't despise it."

Eunuch Huang stretched out his hand and lifted the red cloth with a smile, nodding with satisfaction, "You are too polite, old lady. Judge Zhao is a skilled doctor and is deeply favored by His Majesty. You don't have to worry too much."

"So Doctor Zhao has been appointed as the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau? Congratulations, Chief Physician Zhao." Although Old Madam Ling said congratulations, she was more worried in her heart. The emperor's condition was not simple.

After Eunuch Huang left, Madam Ling couldn't wait to pull Shi Jia into the house. "Doctor Zhao, what's going on?"

"Don't worry, old lady. My safety is guaranteed within a year or so." Why a year or so? Because the emperor's body could only last that long.

"Then..." Madam Ling didn't relax at all after hearing this.

"It's getting late. I'll go give acupuncture to Young Master Ling first. I have to prepare medicine for His Majesty later." Shi Jia interrupted Madam Ling and called Chuncao to go to Ling Dingkun's yard.

When she arrived at Ling Dingkun's yard, he was practicing walking with Qing Mo's support. When he saw her coming, his face immediately showed the same worried expression as Old Lady Ling.

Shi Jia could only comfort him, "Mr. Ling, don't worry. I will be fine in the short term. Well, your illness should have healed before anything happened."

She couldn't help but teased, "Maybe by then, your new wife will already be pregnant."

Ling Dingkun felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

The room suddenly became quiet, with only four breathing sounds echoing.

"Ahem, Qingmo, help your uncle lie down quickly. I'm going to give him acupuncture." Shi Jia said.

"Oh, okay, sir, hurry up." Qing Mo helped Ling Dingkun onto the bed quickly and undressed him. Soon, the latter was left with only a pair of pleated pants.

Ling Dingkun had been distracted and worried about other things. Now his whole body was hot and he closed his eyes and dared not look at Shi Jia.

Shi Jia inserted the golden needles one by one with great precision, expressionless. She completely ignored Ling Dingkun's reaction. It had been more than a month, and he was still so shy. What could she do?

Perhaps today's experience in the palace was too exciting and consumed a lot of his energy. After Shi Jia inserted the last golden needle, he felt very tired.

This situation has not occurred for nearly a year.

"Huh~" Shi Jia couldn't help but sit on the chair, stretched out her hand to lift the veil on her face, and drank the dead water cup. "Master, what's wrong with you?" Chuncao asked nervously.

Shi Jia waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I must be tired. I'll take a health pill." As she spoke, she began to feel around her body.

At this time, Shi Jia did not notice that the person lying on the bed was staring at her, with disbelief and deep anger in his eyes.

"Master?" Qing Mo was the first to notice Ling Dingkun's abnormality. "Doctor Zhao, Doctor Zhao, Master..."

"Huh?" Shi Jia, who was looking for medicine, looked up in confusion and unexpectedly met a pair of fiery eyes. She subconsciously touched her face, her fingers came into contact with the smooth skin, and she thought to herself, "Oh no!"

"Ling Dingkun! What's wrong with you?" Shi Jia frowned and walked to the bedside. He noticed that his muscles were tense and the golden needle was bent. Without saying a word, he took out another golden needle and pierced it directly into his sleep point.

"Doctor Zhao?" Qing Mo was startled.

"It's okay, your grandfather is asleep." Shi Jia walked back to the chair and sat down, swallowing a health pill. "Chuncao, come and get the needle in a quarter of an hour."

"Ah? Should I take out the needle?" Chuncao asked nervously.

"Well, it's not difficult for you to simply remove the needle." Shi Jia said.

"Okay. Master, I will be careful." Chuncao clenched his fists.

Shi Jia smiled and continued to close his eyes and rest.

The next time she saw Ling Dingkun was in the evening of the next day. At that time, she had just made a furnace of Yuan-boosting Pills and was about to relax in the garden.

"Zhao Wenwen!" Ling Dingkun stared at Shi Jia closely.

Shi Jia blinked, "Who are you calling, Master Ling? I'm not your ex-wife, Zhao Wenwen."

"You're not?" Ling Dingkun was a little uncertain. They looked too similar. Even if Zhao Wenwen turned into ashes, he would never forget her. But the woman in front of him seemed a little different.

Those eyes were too bright and too clean. Unlike Zhao Wenwen's, who always looked at people with a disgusting sticky feeling.

"Do you think I am?" Shi Jia raised the corner of his mouth.

"No, you are not." Ling Dingkun said firmly. Zhao Wenwen doesn't have medical skills, Zhao Wenwen doesn't have such temperament, Zhao Wenwen...but how can there be two people in the world who are so similar?
"But why are you wearing a veil?"

Shi Jia touched the veil on her face. "This is what Old Madam Ling and Second Young Master Ling asked me to do. They said that I look a lot like your ex-wife, so they asked me to wear the veil so that you can feel at ease while receiving treatment."

"But it seems it's not necessary now." Shi Jia said as she took off the veil.

When Ling Dingkun saw the familiar face again, his pupils shrank, his breathing became rapid, and his hands unconsciously reached for his chest.

"Hey, are you okay? Chuncao, quickly pick up the veil for me." Shi Jia was startled by him and hurried to check him. His heart was beating too fast and his breathing was rapid.

"No, no need." Ling Dingkun took a deep breath. It's not Zhao Wenwen, it's not Zhao Wenwen! She is Doctor Zhao...

"Qingmo, help your uncle go back quickly. Chuncao, follow him. If there is anything unusual, call me immediately."

"Yes!"

Watching a group of people sending Ling Dingkun away, Shi Jia sighed, "Zhao Wenwen, you have really done great harm to others. You have harmed such a good young man by you."

"Forget it, let's go back and continue making medicine."

Shi Jia left the garden with his hands behind his back, not noticing a pair of shocked eyes in a corner. (End of this chapter)
