Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

In the training ground, Chen Jing sat in Xiao Yan's office, took a sip of tea and asked him.

"Who should go to Meizhou? Is there anyone suitable?"

Xiao Yan held the tea lid with his fingertips, thinking for a moment. After a moment, he said, "There is one person who can be used. He is a disciple of Grand Tutor Shen and currently serves as the Governor of Jianjiang. He is honest and upright. He has written several articles on the way to govern the country and has some influence in the government and the country."

"Oh?" Chen Jing put down his teacup and said, "Is it... Song Lan?"

"Yes, that's him."

Chen Jing said, "Master Shen's disciples are both good people and officials. They don't flatter the powerful. This is rare. Let him go."

Outside the Imperial Guard Gate.

Before Eunuch Yang stepped over the threshold, a eunuch in charge came out. When he saw the visitor, he immediately came forward with a smile.

"Hey, isn't this Eunuch Yang? What brings you to the Imperial Household Department?"

Eunuch Yang didn't smile either. "I'm here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring this imperial physician to the Imperial Household Department for a tour. Do you want to let your Chief Seal Wu know?"

The eunuch in charge said, "Eunuch Yang is joking. Master Wu is not in the prison at the moment. Eunuch Yang is welcome to visit at will."

After saying this, the eunuch in charge went inside to give instructions and then left.

Eunuch Yang turned to look at Lu Ziqing, "Doctor Lu, please feel free to visit. I will be returning home to report."

"Thank you, Eunuch Yang."

When Lu Ziqing walked into the gate, some people who had set fires were sweeping and wiping the door and window pillars, and a few others were punished to kneel in the corner.

He walked through the corridor to the main courtyard and saw that the courtyard was filled with various jades, porcelain bottles, bookcases and wooden shelves, and there were many books on the side corridor.

The fireman was busy carrying, cleaning and sorting, while the eunuch in charge standing next to him looked nervous.

"Oh, be careful not to break them. These are your lives, so lift them carefully."

It’s not a festival, is it too early or too late to start sweeping the house now?

When Lu Ziqing walked over, the eunuch in charge saw him and asked.

"You are the imperial physician brought by Eunuch Yang, right? Go check this side and that side yourself."

When Lu Ziqing passed by several gatehouses, he heard the friction sounds of jade polishing coming from the house, and eunuchs carrying jade artifacts came in and out from time to time.

He peeked inside and saw finished jade pieces on a wooden shelf on one side wall. Several jade workers were busy sitting in front of water benches.

This is the carving workshop. If you want to check the atlas, you need to go to the archives.

Lu Ziqing searched for a while and finally found it in a gatehouse near the side.

The door of the archive room was half open. He pushed it open and walked in, his face immediately turning bad.

The huge gatehouse is actually empty. What’s going on?

Lu Ziqing stared at the empty room in shock. "How could this happen? Isn't the archive room here?"

He took a few steps back and looked at the door frame several times to make sure that it was the "Archive Room" word.

Then I looked around and found that this was the only archive room.

I finally made it to the Imperial Household Department, but now there is nothing to investigate.

Lu Ziqing clenched his index finger and walked back and forth in the open space, "Why isn't it there? Where is it?"

"Clang-"

"Ouch, you dare to break the emperor's jade bottle, drag him away."

"Father-in-law, please spare me. I was careless."

The crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground came from not far away, and the eunuch in charge was shouting. Lu Ziqing heard the noise and then he remembered the things he had just dried, and the books... were in the corridor!

The floor and chairs in the corridor were piled with books, and even the open space outside the corridor was filled with many open books, and the wind would blow the pages from time to time.

Two little firemen were squatting on the ground sorting things out. Lu Ziqing approached them and asked, "Eunuch, what are you doing?"

Xiao Huo turned around and saw a strange face with a slightly frown on his face.

"Who are you? Have you never seen books drying out in the sun?"

Lu Ziqing: “…”

This question is indeed a bit of a knowing question.

He glanced around and asked, "These books are in good condition. What's so good about drying them?"

The little fireman said, "It rained last night and the roof leaked. Many of these books were soaked by the rain, and some have become moldy over time. I took them all out to dry them in the sun and organize them."

Soaked in water? Moldy?

Lu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

"My two fathers-in-law must be tired from sorting so many books. Let me help."

"Okay!"

Xiaohuozhe was already tired of doing odd jobs, so when he saw someone wanted to help, he readily agreed and pointed to the books around his feet to give instructions.

"These, those, and all the ones on that chair over there."

He muttered as he flipped through the book, "It rains a lot this season, so hurry up and dry them out while the sun's still shining. It might rain again tonight. The ones that got moldy before were soaked in water and weren't dried out in time, so they've gone bad."

Lu Ziqing's heart was pounding as he listened to every word. Even his hands were shaking when turning the pages of the book. Soon, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

There were so many books that he searched for half an hour before finally finding a few record books with illustrations in a pile of books beside the flower bed.

These books are all complete. Fortunately, they have not been soaked in water. They are just a little yellowed due to age.

Lu Ziqing flipped through the pages of the book, which indeed recorded the styles, textures, and types of jade wares made for the concubines in each palace in great detail.

Halfway through the book, two shriveled little cockroaches suddenly fell out, leaving only a few pages of rotten paper behind them.

The cooking room was filled with a bitter smell, and steam was rising from the pot of boiling medicine on the small stove.

Lu Ziqing stood by the stove fanning the fire, but his thoughts were fixed on those pages of rotten paper.

He originally thought that by getting close to the prince and successfully entering the Imperial Household Department, he could find out the results. Unexpectedly, it was just a joke played by God on him.

But then I thought about it.

The rules in the imperial palace are strict and the relationships between personnel are complicated. It will take a long time to find out anything successfully.

While secretly comforting himself, Lu Ziqing checked and packed the prepared medicine, and came to the desk of a young imperial physician in the office.

He asked in a low voice, "Master Lin, the medicine is ready."

Lin Yi was handsome and cheerful, and held the rank of eighth-rank imperial physician.

Most of the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau were elderly imperial doctors, with only two young ones, and he was one of them.

Lin Yi looked up at him and said, "You go and send it off. I have a prescription to write. The eunuch outside will take you to the Zhaoqing Palace of Empress Chen."

"Yes."

When Lu Ziqing turned around, he noticed that there was a discrepancy between the ingredients in the pulse record book under the prescription. He lowered his eyes to confirm before speaking.

"Master Lin, is there a mistake in the medicine written on the pulse record? The prescription you wrote before said Schisandra chinensis, not Gallnut."

Lin Yi was concentrating on the prescription on the table. When he heard the voice of the person next to him, he suddenly looked up.

"what?"

"I'm saying that there's an error in the medication record in the pulse record book." Lu Ziqing pointed over and said, "Please take a look here."

Lin Yi took a closer look and slapped his forehead, "Look how busy I am. Fortunately you saw it. Okay, you can go now."

Two hours ago, the sky was sunny, but now it is gloomy and looks like it is going to rain.

Lu Ziqing followed Xiao Huozhe and walked on a long, narrow and deep corridor. It was covered with dark clouds, and the red walls on both sides turned black. The corridor was filled with a ghostly atmosphere.

At this moment, Xiao Huozhe suddenly stopped and said hurriedly, "Pull over and turn around."

Lu Ziqing didn't understand what was going on, so he quickly turned around and faced the palace wall.

Although I have never encountered this before, I heard about it when I was learning the palace rules. When you meet concubines in the palace on the road, you must avoid them and not peek at them.

He only heard a burst of long footsteps passing behind him. When the sound was far away, Xiao Huozhe started walking again.

From time to time, muffled thunder was heard in the sky.

When the two reached the end of the corridor, a palace maid hurried out from the opposite side and bumped into Xiao Huozhe.

"what--"

They both yelled at the same time.

The maid patted the brocade on her body in annoyance. Instead of apologizing, she scolded the person who started the fire harshly.

"How can you walk like that? Don't you have eyes? Look at my nice clothes that you bumped into. I can't even afford to pay for them even if I sell you."

This palace maid was pretty and dressed more luxuriously than the other palace maids.

The little fireman was timid and apologized, "Auntie, please forgive me. It was too dark and I really didn't see it, so I bumped into it."

The palace maid gave him an impatient look, looking a little flustered.

"Forget it, forget it. I have something important to do today, so I won't argue with you for now. But you have to help me find the baby now."

"Ah? But I...ah..."

Before Xiao Huozhe could finish his words, the palace maid grabbed his arm and quickly disappeared around the corner.

Lu Ziqing was completely bewildered the entire time, standing there muttering to himself, "What am I going to do if you leave?"

He had not been in the Imperial Hospital for long, and had only been to Concubine Mei and the Crown Prince's Palace. The rest of the time he was either attending classes in the teaching hall or busy in the hospital.

The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards and has many palaces. He has no idea where to go. There are corridors on the left and right in front of him. Which way does it lead?

Lu Ziqing looked around and couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, a loud thunder was heard, accompanied by terrifying lightning.

He subconsciously chose the left side.
