I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Xiao Ye was slightly certain in her heart that the person in front of her was Qi Zhongyuan, but she still decided to test him.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your name?" Xiao Ye asked timidly, pretending to be timid.

Qi Zhongyuan was a little confused, but there was no reason not to answer a girl's question: "Well, my surname is Zhongyuan, and my courtesy name is Changde."

"Is it really Master Qi?" Xiao Ye asked in surprise, "I have heard for a long time that Master Qi is an excellent doctor, so I came here specially to ask you to take my pulse."

After saying that, Xiao Ye actually lowered her head and sobbed softly, "My old father is too old to work, my mother passed away early, and I have two younger brothers who are only five years old. The whole family depends on me alone to support them."

"But, but I was not feeling well a few years ago. My family had no spare money, so I never saw a doctor. But a few days ago, I suddenly coughed up blood!"

"It is not a pity for me to die, but my two younger brothers lost their mother when they were young. If I die too, I am afraid they will not survive this winter."

As she spoke, Xiaoye suddenly knelt down and took out a handful of loose silver from her bosom, "I have saved this little money from working for a year. I wonder if you can give me some time to save the rest. I will definitely get a ring as soon as possible!"

"I, I..." Qi Zhongyuan was startled when he saw her kneeling in front of him without saying a word. He wanted to pull her up but was afraid of being rude to this strange girl.

"Girl, girl, get up first and talk slowly." Fortunately, there were not many guests here and no one was coming and going in the corridor. Qi Zhongyuan gritted his teeth, pulled Xiaoye up from the ground, took her into the room and closed the door.

He seemed to have touched something terrible, and quickly loosened his hand and moved a distance away, "Miss, please sit down first, let me take your pulse."

Frightened by Xiao Ye's words, Qi Zhongyuan had no time to care about the loopholes in her words. He took out the pulse pillow, put it on the table, and carefully observed her pulse.

Xiao Ye had already formed a thin layer of sweat during the walk. Her pulse was a little faster but very strong. It didn't look like the pulse of a terminally ill person. Qi Zhongyuan frowned for a long time before withdrawing his hand and asked, "Who is this girl?"

Seeing this, Xiao Ye couldn't hold back her laughter any longer. She took out the jade bracelet that Su Minglang asked her to bring and placed it on the table. She then added a handful of gold leaves to it and explained, "Because the master never told me to do so, I don't know whether I should tell you about my origins."

"But my master told me to bring this bracelet to you and ask you to pawn it as travel expenses for the next few days. My master said that as long as you focus on preparing for the Imperial Medical Bureau's assessment, you don't have to worry about anything else."

"Your master..." Qi Zhongyuan took the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully. The vague face appeared in his mind. There were not many women in his life, and recently there was only the lady who saved his life. Looking at the lady's gorgeous clothes and then looking at the jade bracelet in front of him, even if he was not an expert, he knew that the jade bracelet was of great value.

So it seems that the girl in front of me should be the maid serving under that lady?

Thinking of this, Qi Zhongyuan's expression immediately became serious. He stood up and bowed: "Miss, please tell your wife that I will not let her down."

He looked at the pile of gold leaves on the table and declined politely, "I have already received so much kindness from you, Madam. I dare not ask for more."

Xiaoye pushed the gold leaf and the jade bracelet back to his hand and said solemnly, "My master wants me to tell you that you will definitely be employed in the Imperial Hospital in the future. The Imperial Physician is related to the safety of the royal family and should not have close contact with outsiders. Therefore, my master wants you to avoid socializing with Lord Li as much as possible."

Qi Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that the lady would be so sure that he would be admitted to the Imperial Hospital. He nodded and said, "Student understands. Master Qi has not appeared since he took me in here."

Xiao Ye nodded after hearing this. After finishing her business, she would hurry back. Before leaving, she thought for a moment and reminded him, "Sir, Yueyang Restaurant is luxurious and you cannot afford it, so..."

Xiao Ye did not say it explicitly, but Qi Zhongyuan had already nodded in agreement.

After seeing Xiao Ye off, Qi Zhongyuan looked at the jade bracelet and gold leaves on the table for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. Ever since he was seriously injured and fell into a coma, he has been helped by that noble man all the way until now. He doesn't know if he can repay this kindness in this life.

He took a long breath, straightened his expression, and immediately packed his bag.

"Boss!" Qi Zhongyuan knocked on the counter with his bag on his back. The accountant looked up and saw that it was him, and his expression changed immediately.

"Hey, sir! What do you want me to do for you?"

Although they have many distinguished guests, there are very few who would book a room in Yueyang Restaurant for more than half a month. Therefore, both the accountant and the waiter attach great importance to the simply dressed man in front of them.

Qi Zhongyuan shook his head when he heard this. He placed his room card on the table and said, "I want to check out."

"I wonder how much the room rate is for these few days?"

Hearing this, the accountant felt a little sorry, but he still didn't dare to offend the man in front of him. He opened the account book, calculated it, and said with a smile: "Sir, there is still a lot of silver left in your account. Do you want to withdraw it or keep it for the time being?"

"Seventy taels!" Qi Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, worried that the waiter would notice something, so he quickly adjusted his expression and said, "How much did you spend these days?"

"Twenty-three taels and six cents." The accountant gave a quick reply.

Qi Zhongyuan took out ten gold leaves from his pocket and placed them on the counter. "I wonder how much these leaves are worth?"

The accountant's eyes widened when he saw the gold leaf. He took it and weighed it twice and said, "Your leaf is a little thin, it looks less than one penny, but gold is different from silver, plus the workmanship of this leaf, it should be worth at least one hundred or eighty taels of silver."

Hearing this, Qi Zhongyuan was stunned again. He went from being penniless to becoming wealthy in an instant?

He hurriedly collected the gold leaves on the table, took out another one and placed it on the table, "Sir, please take this leaf and the remaining silver to Lord Li Zhao of the Dali Temple."

Qi Zhongyuan thought for a moment and said, "You must take ten taels of silver from it for travel expenses."

The old accountant originally thought that it was just a matter of running errands. Even if he didn't pay any money, he could still make a profit by saving face in the eyes of these nobles. Although the ten taels of silver were not much, it would be a waste not to make some money, so he nodded immediately.
