People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 2, Beauty Hu
Xu Qing looked at the three fortune slips and the words on them that appeared in his mind, and was secretly delighted. He knew that a transmigrator like him with nothing and no connections could not possibly be without a cheat code.

Before he could continue studying the orb of light and the three divination sticks in his mind, the voice of the Imperial Physician rang out again.

"Xu Qing, what do you think? Are you willing to take this job?"

Xu Qing snapped out of her daze, looked at the smiling Imperial Physician, and then glanced around at the other physicians.

The medical officers looked away from Xu Qing, some of them feeling guilty and not daring to look at her.

Looking at the appearance of these medical officers, Xu Qing sneered inwardly. Judging from their demeanor, whether he accepted the task of treating Hu Meiren or not, he would ultimately be made a scapegoat.

This is the intrigue and power struggle within the Han royal palace. Without sufficient strength and status, one can only become a pawn and scapegoat for others.

Recalling the three fortune sticks that had just appeared in his mind, one auspicious and two inauspicious, it seemed that no matter what, his only choice was to treat Hu Meiren and cure her anorexia.

“Okay, I’m willing to take on this task, but I have one condition,” Xu Qing said.

Seeing Xu Qing accept the task so decisively, the surrounding medical officers all breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial physician looked Xu Qing up and down, observing the young man who had not yet come of age. He thought that if it weren't for the fact that this beauty Hu had suddenly lost her appetite and refused to eat or drink, Xu Qing would surely have a bright future.

It's just a pity; it's fate, and there's nothing we can do to change it.

If Xu Qing doesn't take the blame, then they will be the ones to take it.

"What are the conditions? Tell me," the Imperial Physician said, stroking his beard.

"I need to see other people's diagnoses and prescriptions for Consort Hu, and I also need permission to look at the medical books in the Imperial Medical Academy," Xu Qing said.

The Imperial Physician frowned slightly. There was nothing wrong with looking at the diagnoses and prescriptions of others. After all, it was not inappropriate for multiple physicians to look at each other's results and prescriptions when treating the same person. However, the latter's examination of the medical books collected by the Imperial Medical Academy made the Imperial Physician hesitate.

Newcomers like Xu Qing, who had just entered the Imperial Medical Academy, could only do odd jobs and were not qualified to look at medical books at all.

However, considering that Xu Qing was facing certain death this time, even if he agreed, he wouldn't live to see it, so he nodded and said...
"No problem. If you can cure Consort Hu, it will be a great achievement and bring honor to our Imperial Medical Academy. How about letting you look through our collection of books?"

“Okay,” Xu Qing said.

"All of you who have treated Consort Hu, please hand over your diagnoses and prescriptions to Xu Qing," the Imperial Physician said, pointing to several physicians.

The four nodded.

"In that case, everyone may disperse and go about their business. Xu Qing, you will remain on duty and await the eunuch's summons," the Imperial Physician said.

"Yes," Xu Qing said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Seeing that they had successfully escaped a calamity, the physicians dispersed, leaving only four physicians who had treated Hu Meiren. The four of them and Xu Qing returned to the room where the physicians had been on duty.

"These are our initial diagnoses and prescriptions. Take a look for yourself, Xiao Xu." A physician looked at Xu Qing with sympathetic eyes.

"Thank you." Xu Qing took the bamboo strips.

After the handover, the four physicians left directly, leaving Xu Qing alone kneeling in front of the table, waiting for the eunuch to summon him.

Xu Qing looked at the bamboo strips in his hand. The four of them had basically the same opinion on Hu Meiren's illness: it was caused by worry and anxiety. Thinking too much would cause qi to stagnate, which would then damage the spleen and lead to loss of appetite.

The prescriptions they gave were all pretty much the same, mainly for regulating the spleen and stomach, and harmonizing the body's Qi.

Looking at these prescriptions, Xu Qing, who was initially unsure, felt more confident.

He was only a half-baked doctor himself. The reason he looked at these prescriptions and diagnostic records was to prevent himself from being unable to diagnose or prescribe anything when he treated Hu Meiren.

With these, at least I can buy myself some time to think of a solution.

Seeing that there was still some time left, Xu Qing began to use his brain to recall the knowledge his teachers had taught him in his previous life and the medical skills he had learned.

Although the strange ball of light and the divination stick in his mind told him that the medical treatment would end without any major problems, Xu Qing still dared not be careless. He himself did not understand what the use of his cheat system was.

Other people's cheat codes are either the system, allowing them to exchange for this or that, making them invincible from the start, or stealing beautiful women as wives.

When he arrived, he was given only three sentences, not even a prescription. In the end, he had to rely entirely on himself.

"Damn it, you blockhead, hurry up and put your mind to it!" Xu Qing shouted in his heart. Now he finally understood what it meant to regret not having studied enough when you needed it.

If he were given another chance, he would definitely listen attentively to the lessons, study hard, and never try to restore the Han Dynasty again. It's just a pity that he didn't become a great general.

Just as Xu Qing was trying hard to recall all the knowledge, the door to the guardhouse was pushed open, and the eunuch who had left earlier entered the room with two junior eunuchs.

After seeing that only Xu Qing was left in the room, the Han King's eunuch frowned and said...

"Why are you alone? Where are the other physicians? Where is Physician Wang? Are they going to send you to treat Consort Hu?"

Wang Taiyi was the Imperial Physician in the Imperial Medical Academy.

"Yes, it is I, the eunuch." Xu Qing bowed respectfully.

The eunuch of the King of Han looked Xu Qing up and down, his face looking rather grim. He knew that Consort Hu's illness was difficult to cure, and the Imperial Hospital avoided it like the plague, unwilling to take the risk.

However, he did not expect that these people would push Xu Qing, a young man, forward. It was not that he was indignant on Xu Qing's behalf, but rather that he felt that the medical officers of the Imperial Hospital were blatantly shirking their responsibilities. If Prince Han An got angry, he would also be held accountable.

Moreover, Xu Qing was too young, and he worried that Xu Qing might prescribe inappropriate medicine, which would not only fail to cure Hu Meiren but also worsen her condition. However, since the Imperial Hospital had already assigned Xu Qing, he couldn't very well go and replace him.

He was a close attendant of the King of Han, serving as the Chief of the Palace Attendants, and was in charge of all the palace attendants and eunuchs in the King of Han's palace, but he did not have jurisdiction over the Imperial Medical Academy.

"Alright, take the necessary items and come with me to treat Consort Hu," said the King of Han's eunuch.

"promise."

Xu Qing quickly packed his things, took his medicine box, and left the Imperial Hospital with the eunuch of the King of Han, heading towards the palace where Consort Hu was.

Along the way, Xu Qing lost count of how many corridors and palaces he had passed through. Although the state of Han was the weakest of the seven Warring States, the scale and luxury of its royal palace were considerable.

Along the way, he encountered many eunuchs or beautiful palace maids carrying various rare treasures, but Xu Qing had no mind to appreciate the birdsong and fragrant flowers, the exquisite gardens, or the long legs of the beauties. All he could think about was how to get through this ordeal.

Although the fortune teller in his mind told him that he would ultimately escape danger, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Xu Qing soon arrived outside Hu Meiren's palace.

"When you see the beauty later, you must treat her properly. If you still can't cure her, you know what happened to Physician Wen before," the Han King's eunuch said coldly.

"I will certainly do my duty to the best of my ability," Xu Qing said.

The King of Han's eunuch led Xu Qing into Consort Hu's palace, passed through to the entrance of the main hall, and, guided by a palace maid, went straight into the hall.

Upon entering the palace, a delicate fragrance belonging to a woman wafted towards you.

Following the palace maids and the King of Han's eunuch, Xu Qing entered a boudoir on the right.

"My lady, I have been ordered by the King to bring the physicians to examine you," said the King's eunuch, his cold demeanor replaced by a beaming smile.

"A new physician has arrived?" A weak voice came from behind the curtain.

Xu Qing nervously looked up into the curtains. The thin curtains concealed the alluring body lying on the bed, its curvaceous contours inspiring endless fantasies.

Thinking of Hu Meiren's face and alluring figure in the anime, Xu Qing couldn't help but swallow.

Behind the curtains, Hu Meiren lay on her side on the bed, her right leg crossed over her left, one hand supporting her head. Her charming face was filled with weakness, and her full breasts and smooth waist-hip ratio formed a bewitching hourglass shape.

She was playing with a beautifully carved red agate bracelet in her hand, her slender, white fingers gripping the bracelet tightly and pressing it against her chest, causing her originally towering breasts to distort slightly.

"Yes, this humble official Xu Qing greets the beauty." Xu Qing stepped forward and bowed.

I'll upload the image later. Since there's no contract, I can't include illustrations.

Everyone should definitely read it; it's very important to read it during the new book period. Once it's officially released, I'll immediately start my daily 10,000-word reading project.
