I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

On the tenth day of the second lunar month, in Jingning City, the capital of the Great Yao Dynasty, the incident occurred in the Qi'an Cave, a natural fluorite cave deep in the valley outside the capital.

When Tianjizi returned to Qi'an Cave drunkenly, he staggered along, holding on to the rocks. From a distance he saw Qi Zhen standing with his back to the stars, looking at the sky above the cave. It was obvious that he was waiting for him.

Tianjizi, under the influence of alcohol, smiled and said hello, "Why are you up so early, Third Prince?! Your internal injuries have not yet healed, why don't you go back to meditate and rest?!"

Qi Zhen slowly turned around, supported him and said with a smile: "I knew you would not come back until you were drunk, so I stayed here to bring you some hangover medicine."

Tianjizi waved his hand and said, "I don't want any hangover medicine. I'd rather be drunk. When I wake up, there will be nothing left."

Qi Zhen sighed softly, shook his head and said, "Since I have to wake up eventually, it would be better not to get drunk."

At this time, An Wuxia also came over, looking at Tianjizi's drunken appearance, and said, "Why is the Jiangnan Pavilion Master so drunk?"

Qi Zhen helped him into the room and said as he walked: "Hey, it's all about love!"

An Wuxia smiled and said, "Oh! This is strange. What kind of extraordinary woman could make such a cool and handsome Tianjizi go through the pain of love?!"

After they helped Tianjizi to the stone chamber, gave him some sobering tea, and helped him to sleep peacefully, they returned to the hall. Only then did Qi Zhen tell An Wuxia about those old events.

It turned out that more than a decade ago, the Southern Garden of the Dayao Palace had a Royal Imperial College, which was considered part of the Imperial Academy. All the children of nobles in the capital could enter the school as long as they passed the exam. There were even students from other neighboring countries, such as the Great Golden Crow, the Little Golden Mirror, the True True Kingdom, the Kingdom of Siam, the Kingdom of Persia, and so on.

In addition to the princes and princesses of Dayao, there are also princes and sons of the kings, such as Beijing Wang, Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun, An Wuyang, etc. The international students include the princes and princesses of the Great Golden Crow Kingdom, the princes and princesses of the Little Golden Mirror, and so on.

During the period of study, the erudite scholars of the Imperial College did not discriminate between the genders of the students. As long as the students were dedicated to their studies, the scholars would carefully cultivate them. Therefore, for a time, Nanyuan Imperial College became the place with the strongest academic atmosphere and the most outstanding talents in the country.

During the nearly ten years of daily interactions, there were naturally many outstanding male and female students who admired each other's talents and personalities and fell deeply in love with each other. Among them were lovers such as Prince Beijing and Jia Yuanchun, Jia Zhu and Li Wan, Tianjizi and the Ninth Princess. There were also those who were in love with each other, such as Princess Zhaoning of the Great Jinwu Kingdom and the then Crown Prince Qizhen, and the Crown Prince of the Small Jinjing Kingdom and the Ninth Princess.

After the students graduated, Jia Yuanchun was selected to enter the palace because of her talent, filial piety and virtue. The King of Beijing tried to persuade her but to no avail. The Ninth Princess was granted marriage by the Crown Prince of the Small Jinjing Kingdom. For the sake of peace on the border, the Ninth Princess broke up with tears and married far away. Qi Zhen was granted marriage by the Emperor to the eldest Princess Zhaoning of the Great Jinwu Kingdom. He was falsely accused of treason and banished to the King of Bohai.

Qi Zhen was naturally deeply moved when he talked about all this. He said with great regret: "At that time, my father advocated Confucianism and separated Nanyuan Imperial College from the Imperial College, hoping to cultivate more talents for the country. This prosperity of letting a hundred flowers bloom did make our studies progress by leaps and bounds, but too many of us were hurt by it."

An Wuxia pondered for a moment and said, "I remember when I was a child, my parents also asked me to take the entrance exam for Nanyuan Imperial College, but I was determined to study medicine with my grandparents, so they didn't force me to go there."

Qi Zhen smiled and said, "Fortunately you didn't go to Nanyuan Imperial College. If you had gone there, it would have been taken away by someone else. Then I would have become the same as Shui Rong and Tian Jizi."

An Wuxia lowered her head and smiled, "You won't become like them. There is no shortage of beauties around you. Princesses from neighboring countries, princesses, dukes and daughters of the royal family, you can just pick any one you want, right? What's more, there are the four beauties from Lingxi Pavilion, who doesn't have a secret crush on you?!"

Qi Zhen said calmly, "Alas, you can't joke like that. The most important thing about love is mutual affection, which has nothing to do with political power or family background. That's why I repeatedly rejected my father's marriage proposals. He was also particularly dissatisfied with me as the crown prince at the time."

An Wuxia also restrained her smile and said, "I see. No wonder Beijing Prince Shui Rong rushed to rescue the eldest daughter of Rongguo Mansion when she encountered trouble in the palace. It turns out that he was deeply in love with her. I think there must have been many beautiful stories about talented men and beautiful women in Nanyuan Imperial Academy."

Qi Zhen said meaningfully: "As the crown prince, I did not dare to slack off in my studies for my mother's earnest expectations, and I had no intention of talking about love affairs. But as far as I know, almost every one of my classmates and friends has a date after dusk, and they are in love with each other. I think the feelings between Shui Rong and Tian Jizi at that time were sincere and precious, so it is so unforgettable and can't be let go."

An Wuxia said in confusion: "Since you love each other so much, why do you want to separate?!"

Qi Zhen said with great regret: "Jia Yuanchun entered the palace for the long-term benefit of her family because Jia Zhu died young, her second brother was young, and her nephew was still in her infancy. The men in the family were decadent and incompetent, uneducated and unskilled, and no one was capable of taking on important responsibilities. As for the Ninth Princess, she naturally married far away so that tens of millions of people on the border could live and work in peace and contentment, away from the suffering of war. It was also the Crown Prince of the Little Jinjing Kingdom who specifically asked the emperor to grant the marriage. She was so devoted to the Ninth Princess that the emperor agreed."

An Wuxia lowered his head and said, "It turns out that in the minds of Ms. Jia and the Ninth Princess, the interests of the family and the country are higher than their own feelings, which is really rare and precious.

Qi Zhen shook his head and said, "It's just that the vows and deep love we made in the past can't be fulfilled after all. So Shui Rong and Tian Jizi must have been heartbroken last night."

An Wuxia hugged Qi Zhen from behind and said, "I don't want this to happen to us. If there comes a day when you need to make a choice between your country and your feelings, I hope you can choose your country and your people over your responsibility and mission without hesitation."

Qi Zhen looked at her in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that after being together for so long, you still don't understand me. I am really heartbroken."

An Wuxia said solemnly: "How can a person live just for his own love? If it is difficult to be both loyal and filial, then choose the boundless love and give up the petty love."

Qi Zhen said firmly: "Life's responsibilities and missions are important, but pure, noble and great love is also rare. If you are lucky enough to meet it, you must make sure that both love and responsibility are appropriate, and you will not let down your country or your lover."

An Wuxia was touched and said lovingly: "But if you don't let your country down and don't let your lover down, you will be very tired, won't you?!"

Qi Zhen looked at her affectionately and said, "I don't feel tired, on the contrary, I feel very happy!"
