Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book

Wu Qing stood in front of the heavy Ruyi door, her heart beating like a drum, and every beat was accompanied by rapid breathing.

In order to avoid making too much noise and alarming others, she could only slap the wooden door with her palms. After just a few slaps, her palms were already red, and pain became her only real feeling. Her mind was unusually clear.

She had to return to Xifeng Pavilion with the least amount of alarm, and the door in front of her was the best choice.

"Bang, bang, bang!" She slammed three times again, "Qingping..." This person should not have gone far, come back and open the door, quickly!

The air around me was frozen, and every second of waiting felt like a long torture.

Time seemed to stretch infinitely in her panic, and fear gradually crept into her heart. If she couldn't return through this door, she didn't dare to think about what would happen to the people who were punished for this.

Her heart was trembling with nervousness. She forced herself to calm down and began to think about what to do next.

Going through this door will undoubtedly cause the least disturbance to others. If you can't get in now, you have to wait until daybreak, when this door will open and the toilet will be emptied.

Wu Qing turned around and tried to find a corner nearby where she could hide herself, waiting until that time...

At this moment, there was a click, which was the sound of the door latch being lifted. Wu Qing immediately hid beside the brick pile beside the door.

The gap in the door opened wider and wider, and when Wu Qing's heart was about to jump out, she saw half of a face.

She took a step forward and pushed on the wooden door.

Qingping, who was hesitating inside the door, was startled. When he saw who it was, he was so scared that he couldn't say a word.

Wu Qing pushed him away and whispered, "Go back. When you see Qingshan, tell him to watch me return to Xifeng Pavilion. Hurry! We can talk about other things later."

Now no one has come to look for her in Desheng Hall, which fully proves that Qingshan has not discovered her yet. Maybe he fell asleep while waiting for her there.

Wu Qing pushed the stunned Qingping and said, "Trust me, I won't harm your brother. Come on, go back first."

Wu Qing returned to Xifeng Pavilion with her heart pounding like a drum. Although she was very careful when going to bed, she still woke He Cui up.

He Cui opened her eyes and looked at Wu Qing, "Sister, where have you been?"

Wu Qing reached out and pushed her down, "Shh—go to sleep."

It was dawn the next day.

When Gu Shixin woke up, he only ate some warm porridge and some dry food in the morning, and only drank some water during the day.

Helian Hao asked him to eat more, but he just said he was not hungry and refused to eat another bite.

Helian Hao didn't expect that even after catching up with Gu Shixin, Gu Shixin could still control him. He knew that if Gu Shixin threatened to die, he would have no way out and would have to let him go.

Fortunately, he didn't say he wanted to leave, nor did he force himself to do anything. He was just so calm every day.

Helian Hao wanted to have dinner with him, but Gu Shixin didn't try to persuade him. He picked up the food bought by the guards and handed it to him. He looked at him and he ate it.

He had to eat what Gu Shixin gave him even with tears in his eyes.

Helian Hao had clearly caught up with the person, but he was still very worried. He couldn't do anything about Gu Shixin. He didn't know why Gu Shixin was like this, nor did he know where the problem lay.

There were post stations on the straight road and the official road, which were also the most direct routes back to Beijing.

Helian Hao had only been walking for half a day and needed to rest, but he refused to stay at the post station and insisted on taking a detour to Xiema Town. He also sent someone to ask for the best guest room in advance - a separate courtyard.

After settling down in the courtyard, Helian Hao asked someone to prepare hot water and sent everyone out of the house.

He was the only one who accompanied Gu Shixin, silently helping him take a bath, washing his hair, wringing it dry, and asking for a charcoal basin to dry his hair bit by bit in this early autumn when the heat had not yet subsided.

After taking care of Gu Shixin, he added some hot water and washed his body and hair in the tub that Gu Shixin had used to take a bath.

Gu Shixin looked at Helian Hao, neither trying to persuade him nor saying anything.

Helian Hao was always careful with Gu Shixin, not to mention using force, he didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Until the evening, Gu Shixin did not say a word, and he cooperated with whatever the emperor wanted to do.

When no one was around, Helian Hao knelt on one knee at the head of Gu Shixin's bed, "I know it's all my fault. All these years, I thought you were busy because you loved power, but I never thought you were busy for me. I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"

Gu Shixin's lips curled up, "It's enough that you know you're wrong. I don't blame you. Anyone in that position would overthink it. If it were me, I might not have thought about it."

Although her heart was pounding, Wu Qing was still thinking about the Qingping brothers while lying in bed. However, she had been tossing and turning for most of the night and was so scared that she didn't think about it for much longer. Her eyelids drooped. Her mind was still a little clear, and she thought that she hadn't found a solution yet, so she would go to sleep later. As she thought about it, her eyes closed smoothly.

When Wu Qing woke up the next day, she asked He Cui, "I want to talk to Qing Ping. How can I not let others know?"

He Cui didn't remember Wu Qing talking to Qing Ping. She even specifically mentioned Qing Ping, not the two who followed. She was afraid that there was something important, so she replied, "Sister, is there something wrong? I can pass the message to him."

Wu Qing hesitated for a moment, then simply told the whole story of last night: "Last night, when I woke up to go to the bathroom, I saw Qingping walking by, so I followed him out of curiosity. I didn't expect him to leave through the Jixiang Gate."

He Cui covered her mouth immediately, "Didn't my sister go with them?"

Wu Qing narrowed her eyes, "How do you know?"

He Cui immediately covered her chest, her heart pounding. "Sister, you're too brave! If someone finds out, I don't know what will happen to you. The two people watching will each get fifty strokes of the cane, enough to kill someone."

Wu Qing shuddered with fear when she heard this, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on her back. If she had known that someone would die, how could she have dared to follow? Now thinking about how she almost didn't get in last night, she was filled with fear again.

He Cui could see that Wu Qing was also frightened, so she asked slowly, "Where did Qingping go?"

Wu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. "He went to a dilapidated yard. From what he said, it sounded like his brother was sick and couldn't get out of bed, so he waited for Qingping to sneak over at night to take care of his eating, drinking, and toileting."

Wu Qing noticed that He Cui looked normal at this point, which made her feel strange. She asked, "How do you treat the illnesses of palace maids?"

"It can't be cured. You have to endure it yourself. If you can't, you will die." He Cui looked gloomy at the end. The lives of slaves in this palace are worthless.

This was something Wu Qing had never expected. Was there no medical insurance in this ancient workplace? She was incredulous. "No doctors, no medicine?"

He Cui forced a smile, her expression uglier than crying. "There's a rest and entertainment center where people with non-serious illnesses are sent. They only provide two meals of porridge, nothing else. Whether you survive depends on your fate."

Wu Qing thought of the dilapidated courtyard. It was too dark, and visibility was insufficient. She could only guess, "Is that the small courtyard Qingping went to?"

He Cui nodded, "That should be it."

Wu Qing still didn't give up. "What if I spend money to find someone to see me? Maybe I can find someone to see me?"

He Cui sighed. "The pharmacists at the Imperial Hospital are actually apprentices. They know about herbs and pharmacology. If you give them some silver, they will take a look, but it's only one or two taels of silver per time, and the cost of the medicine is separate. We're sending all the money back home, so where would we have the spare money? We'll just have to carry it ourselves. I heard that Qingping sent all the monthly salary for the past two months to his brother. I'm afraid it was used for his medical treatment."

Wu Qing nodded. She had been thinking about how to get a doctor for Qingping's brother last night. She didn't know anything except three first aid techniques, which were of no use here. She really couldn't help.

But it would be fine if I didn't know about this. If I knew and didn't do anything, I would always feel bad.

The kid who grew up in the emergency room, even though he knows nothing, is still worried sick.

First aid! She suddenly thought of the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Alas, why didn't she ask how to find them? Now, she can't even remember a single one of their names. What a shame!

Wu Qing raised her hand and knocked her head, feeling extremely regretful.

This action startled He Cui, "What's wrong, sister? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Is it a headache?"

He Cui's words reminded Wu Qing that she was just relying on the power of others to bully others. Now that she could invite the imperial physician, how could she not seize the opportunity to use him?

Wu Qing narrowed her eyes and said, "Go and tell Qingping to tell him that the imperial physician will be here today. When he leaves, tell him to take him to his brother."

He Cui's eyes almost popped out of her head. "What? Sister, don't you know that the imperial physician will not examine the servants in the palace?"

Wu Qing patted He Cui's arm and said, "I have my own way. Just go and pass the message on. Come back and do me a favor..."

When Grandpa Yu came to visit Wu Qing as usual, Wu Qing rubbed her temples, frowned, and moaned constantly.

Yu Feng was startled, "What happened to Miss Wu?"

"I don't know. I woke up with a headache in the morning. I thought it would be fine if I just endured it, but it kept hurting." Wu Qing pretended to be very weak and spoke weakly.

Yu Feng was anxious when he heard this. The emperor had said before he left that he needed to take care of himself, and he couldn't let him get sick again when he came back. "What are you talking about? Go and ask Judge Bai to come over."

Wu Qing thought that she just needed to act for a while, but she didn't expect that Yu Feng was afraid that something might happen to Wu Qing, so he kept waiting by her side and refused to leave. Wu Qing tried to persuade him twice, "I'm fine, go and do your work, father-in-law!" Yu Feng just refused to leave.

He had no choice but to continue acting, which made Wu Qing very tired and she was afraid that she would be exposed.

Finally, Dean Bai came to take a look. Apart from not getting enough rest, there was nothing else to worry about.

Wu Qing followed up, "With my arm in a sling, I wake up every time I turn over at night, and then I can't fall asleep for a long time."

Judge Bai nodded and prescribed a tranquilizing decoction, saying that he would be fine after a good night's sleep.

Yu Feng was relieved and told He Cui to take good care of Wu Qing and to come to him if she had any problems. Then he was about to leave with Bai Yuanpan.

How could this be possible? If Yu Feng went with them, how would Qingping be able to stop the imperial physician?

Wu Qing was anxious and blurted out, "Eunuch Yu, please stay."

Yu Feng extended his hand, "President Bai, please go first." Turning around, he asked, "Miss Wu, do you have any other instructions?"

Damn it, she had nothing to do, but even if nothing was wrong, she had to find something to do. Think quickly, think quickly... "Oh, I have a request, can I borrow someone for a while?"

She hadn't thought of an excuse yet, but she wanted to ask Qingping to come over, but she was still a third-class palace maid, so how could she have the nerve to ask for someone's help? But she had to fight for it.

Yu Feng didn't expect this to happen. He did have the person, and it wasn't that he couldn't give him the money, but... "I don't know what the girl wants to do with it?"

"Oh, it's the changing season now, so I should be changing the flowers and trees. Look at my hands, they're not doing well..." Wu Qing raised her hand, "It was actually a bit difficult for me to do it myself in the past. Can I borrow a job from a father-in-law who knows how to take care of flowers and trees? He doesn't need to be too strong. Look..."

"Is there anyone in Desheng Hall who can take care of the flowers and trees?" Yu Feng was a little surprised. He hadn't even noticed this.

Wu Qing thought to herself: "It won't matter. I know how to do it. It's not too late to teach me now."

"Someone helped me before, and he looks good." Perfect, just ask me who I am, and then you can take Qingping over.

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng's mind raced. Which servant had caught Miss Wu's eye? If Miss Wu gained power, he would be on the rise. After figuring it out, he smiled and replied, "It's no big deal. Miss, just call whoever you like. If he's too incompetent after two days, you can always replace him."

Then he said to He Cui, "Miss, you can order someone around to do something for him. If anyone disobeys, just report it directly."

Wu Qing nodded quickly, "Thank you, Master."

Over there, Judge Bai came out of Xifeng Pavilion carrying a medicine box. He unfolded the note in his hand and was stunned at first, then he almost jumped up in surprise.

This was the note He Cui had written for Wu Qing, expressing her willingness to use the same bare-handed rescue technique she had used to save the Seventh Princess in exchange for a doctor's help in treating a palace maid's illness. If the doctor agreed, please follow Eunuch Qingping.

She didn't say that if she didn't want to, she bet that Bai Yuanpan would be willing as well as her disciples.

As expected, Bai Yuanpan did not disappoint Wu Qing. He happily followed Qingping and not only went to Anletang to see Ma Qingbo's illness, but also asked Qingping to accompany him. He wrote a prescription, dispensed the medicine, and told Qingping how to decoct the medicine.

After returning to the Imperial Hospital, he asked the doctor to prepare a tranquilizing soup, and personally delivered it to Wu Qing at Xifeng Pavilion.

Wu Qing hadn't expected that Bai Yuanpan would come in person to deliver the medicine. She knew that he couldn't wait to learn the art of saving lives, and she felt a little amused and helpless for a moment.

"Thank you, Judge Bai. Why bother you to come here in person?" To be honest, she was a little embarrassed.

"No way, I've wanted to ask for your advice for a long time, but since you're injured, it's not easy to ask..." Bai Yuanpan was even more terrified. In his eyes, the conditions Wu Qing proposed were not conditions at all. It was simply asking her to teach him the unique skills for free. He felt a little overwhelmed by this favor, and he had no way to repay her.

"It's a bare-handed rescue technique. No medicine or needles are needed, but it requires the use of hands. Look at my hands. I really can't teach you right now. You have to wait until my hands are healed." Wu Qing felt a little embarrassed that she couldn't teach him right away because of the obvious panic of Judge Bai.

"Of course, of course. I came here to tell you, young lady: If there is anything else, just send someone to the Imperial Hospital to inform us." Bai Yuanpan was saying: I am at your service at any time.
