"Master, all the medicine boxes have been packed up and the pharmacy has been cleaned."

At night, Cui Yian rolled up his sleeves, holding the rag he had just used to clean, and stood awkwardly behind Doctor Hu, asking in a timid and tentative voice.

Doctor Hu continued to pack the herbs without turning his head to look at him. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Yi'an, Yi'an, do you refuse to obey the punishment from your master?"

Cui Yian quickly shook his head and waved his hands in reply: "No, no, Yian would like to thank Master."

"Humph, that's strange." Doctor Hu stopped what he was doing, sneered and continued to ask: "I punish you, and you actually want to thank me?"

"Thank you, Master, for allowing Yi'an to continue studying with you. I couldn't ask for more opportunities to pack medicine boxes and clean the pharmacy."

"That's great, you've been asking for it. I'll leave all the work of the Imperial Hospital to you this year." Imperial Doctor Hu stood up and casually threw the herbs he had just studied on the table. He stood up and walked to Cui Yian to say these words, then left alone.

Cui Yian was confused and didn't know whether his master had really forgiven him. He was still a little uneasy. At this time, he walked to the table hesitantly, wanting to pick up the herbs that his master had just studied. When he got closer, he suddenly found that one of them was a rare herb for treating colds. He turned around hesitantly and looked in the direction where his master left. After a fierce ideological struggle, he lowered his head and put all the herbs back in the room, and then left reluctantly.

Diseases are most vulnerable to the right medicine. When Wan Ning went to Wuming Palace to visit the patient the next day, Cui Yian was already taking Xia Fei's pulse. She was still lying on the bed with a pale face, but her overall complexion was much better, at least she was no longer talking nonsense. When she saw Wan Ning coming, she stared with her eyes rolling around, with a happy expression on her face.

"Princess Le Yan, you came just in time. Doctor Cui just finished examining Concubine Xia, and her condition has improved." Concubine Ru walked quickly to Wan Ning excitedly, then turned around and praised Cui Yian, "Doctor Cui is really a skilled doctor. Concubine Xia has made such progress in just one day."

Hearing this, Cui Yian shyly turned his wrist and secretly glanced at Concubine Yu standing on the left. Unexpectedly, she noticed that someone was looking at her. The moment she looked up, he immediately blushed and lowered his head in panic, and hurriedly picked up the medicine box he carried with him and put it on the table. Then he bent over and opened the last layer of the medicine box and searched carefully. After a while, he took out a paper bag from it, and after opening it, the medicinal materials were exposed.

"Although Concubine Xia's health has improved, she still needs special care. This is the medicinal material I brought from the pharmacy. When I decoct the medicine today, I will take out three roots and add them in. It will be very effective in treating Concubine Xia's condition." Cui Yian explained while holding the herbs.

Concubine Yu looked at him expressionlessly, then put down the bowl of water in her hand and walked towards him. After taking the herbs, she turned around and pulled Concubine Qin, who had been watching the fun, and was about to walk out. Concubine Qin was confused for a moment and shouted, "Sister, why are you pulling me?"

"Come on, little farmer, let's go and boil some medicine for Concubine Xia." After saying that, he pulled Concubine Qin out without caring about her reaction.

At this time, the room fell into a strange silence again. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Seeing this, Wan Ning subconsciously touched her neck and suggested: "Thank you, Doctor Cui. I will take you out first."

Cui Yian immediately picked up the packed medicine box and said goodbye to Concubine Yi and Concubine Ru in the room. Before he took two steps away, Concubine Yi, who had been smiling calmly, suddenly spoke softly, "Please stay, let me see Doctor Cui off."

In this nameless palace, Concubine Yi was much older than her other sisters, so she usually took care of them and felt sorry for them being trapped in such a place at such a beautiful age. She had already accepted her life gradually dying in this desolate courtyard, but her sisters were still so young that she could not sit idly by.

If it was before Concubine Xia fell into the water, all of this was just a thought hidden deep in her heart, but after this incident, she was completely disappointed with the life here and had no hope in the Emperor and the Queen Mother. This time, she had Princess Le Yan to help, but if it weren't for the princess, her sisters would have died helplessly. This time, she actually had something to say to Doctor Cui and wanted to ask for help.

After they left Concubine Xia's room and were alone in the long and quiet courtyard, Concubine Yi took out a string of beads from her pocket and handed it to Cui Yi'an. She was still smiling, but Cui Yi'an was confused and asked, "Concubine Yi, what do you mean?"

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't be polite, Doctor Cui. You came to Wuming Palace to treat Concubine Xia under tremendous pressure. We will never let you suffer any injustice." As Concubine Yi was about to hand the beads to him, Cui Yian was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly and then simply put his hands behind his back.

"You are too polite, Your Majesty. I absolutely cannot accept this. The purpose of learning medicine is to cure diseases and save lives. I am extremely grateful that you do not mind that I am not skilled enough to treat Your Majesty. Yi'an should thank Your Majesty for your trust!"

Seeing Cui Yian's refusal, Concubine Yi showed gratitude and pleaded, "I have lived in this Wuming Palace for nearly ten years, and the other sisters have lived here for five years. Concubine Xia has lived here for almost a year at the shortest. In all these years, no one has ever visited Wuming Palace, let alone treated the people in Wuming Palace. Now that Doctor Cui is not afraid of gossip and his career, he can treat Concubine Xia. We should naturally thank him."

Cui Yian didn't know how to refuse for a moment, but he absolutely couldn't accept this string of beads. First, he never expected anything, and second, if someone found out and made a fuss about it in the future, he felt that he couldn't explain it. If it was just for the treatment, he could argue, but it was hard to explain that he had accepted the gift. He had to wave his hands repeatedly, and in order to appease Concubine Yi, he immediately expressed his determination: "You don't have to worry too much, Concubine Yi, you can rest assured that I will not ignore Wuming Palace. If anyone in Wuming Palace needs it, Cui Yian will do his best."

Cui Yian blushed and did not wait for Concubine Yi to reply, fearing that she would continue to insist. He bowed and left quickly. Seeing his sincerity, Concubine Yi did not doubt his determination. Now that the promise had been obtained, there would be someone available if the sisters needed medical treatment in the future.

Wan Ning was still a confused bystander at this time. She stared at Cui Yian's departing figure in confusion and whispered, "Doctor Cui is such a good person." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and found that Concubine Yi was staring at her kindly. Her smile made Wan Ning feel creepy.

She cleared her throat and asked in confusion, "Empress Yi, you are looking at me like this, but do you have anything to say?"

"Princess, you are so smart. Can you please talk further?"
