Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

"Why would Lord Xu say that?"

Gou Dongxi pointed to the imperial physician in front and said.

"You have to know that Lu Ziqing is different from them. He didn't come from a formal school. Not only did he change his career, but he also entered the Imperial Hospital with this identity, which is already a violation of the regulations."

"If it weren't for the recommendation of Marquis Dingbei, someone like him wouldn't even be able to step into the Imperial Hospital. Besides..."

He leaned back in his chair, folded his arms, and tapped the armrests with his fingers.

"What is the Imperial Hospital? This is where the emperor treats patients. It's different from the ordinary people who receive medical treatment. Here, the slightest mistake can cost someone their life. Especially for someone like Lu Ziqing, the treatment has to be extremely strict. What if he..."

Gou Dongxi coughed dryly. "Well... what if he gets us into trouble? For all of us, including himself, this will only bring benefits and no harm. As long as he has real skills, he won't be afraid of difficult problems. This is also the most basic adaptability that a doctor should possess."

This high-sounding and righteous reason left Xu Shizhang unable to refute.

Although he admired Lu Ziqing very much, in the Forbidden City, it was impossible to stay long with just admiration.

Just as Gou Dongxi said just now, the Imperial Medical Service serves the imperial power every day, and serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.

Even these experienced imperial physicians lived in fear all day long, not to mention a newcomer like Lu Ziqing.

If it didn't take a certain amount of time to accumulate experience, I really wouldn't be able to work in the Imperial Hospital.

Here, not only do doctors need to have strong skills, but they also need to be flexible and adaptable in terms of psychological quality and the ability to deal with various complex human relationships, and be able to withstand various blows.

Thinking of this, Xu Shizhang sighed lightly, his eyes passing through the crowd and falling on Lu Ziqing's face, who was calm and fluent in answering questions.

Not long after, Gou Dongxi finally stood up and called for a halt, and everyone immediately shut up and dispersed.

In this round of assessment, Lu Ziqing undoubtedly got the A grade again.

After two rounds of assessment, it was already noon. The third round of verification would not begin until the afternoon, so everyone went to the cafeteria one after another.

Only in the rockery cave in the small garden, there were two people talking.

"Lu Ziqing left the big hospital, and the opportunity came."

The person who spoke was Doctor Shen.

"The evidence will be available by afternoon. Have Zhang Shun find someone to hold him back. If the time is up, he won't have a chance."

Doctor Sun gave Doctor Shen a sharp look, then shifted his gaze outside the cave.

"A little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet managed to break through two levels in a row. I want to see what other tricks he can use this time."

Doctor Shen put his hands behind his back and lightly wiped his beard, smiling slyly, "This time, I will make sure he has no place to use his strength."

Lu Ziqing did not go to the cafeteria, but took Chi Musheng to the Ba Wang Beef Noodles restaurant.

The midday sun is dazzling, but it does not affect the vendors shouting and hawking on both sides of the street.

Even though it was a hot day, the noodle stall was still doing a booming business, with diners coming and going constantly. The boss was busy sweating profusely, wiping his cheeks and neck with a white towel again and again.

Lu Ziqing smiled and sighed repeatedly as he looked at the exciting scene.

"This business is so good that there are no tables left. We'll have to wait a while. Has Master Chi ever eaten here?"

Chi Musheng raised his sleeves to block the sun, took a sip of the iced sour plum soup in his hand, and shook his head slightly.

"Don't be ridiculous, I've been in the capital for many years, and apart from this sour plum soup, I rarely eat out."

He licked the juice from his lips and thought, "The first time was when I was taking the imperial physician exam. My master invited me to eat at Wangjiang Tower. The second time was last year. My master and I also had noodles here in Xicheng. I have never been to this restaurant before."

It’s not that he doesn’t want to eat delicious food outside, but the main reason is that he can’t afford it with his monthly salary, so he can only treat Xu Shizhang to a bowl of noodles.

Chi Musheng and Lang Si are both in their thirties and have not yet started a family. It is really not easy for them to make a name for themselves in the capital.

Lu Ziqing stood in the sun, and even though he was thirsty, he didn't dare drink more ice drinks.

It was strange to say, he was obviously a doctor, and he knew the detailed medical instructions very well, but his mind was inexplicably confused, and he always remembered Xiao Yan's advice, "Just eat a few bites to satisfy your craving."

So, he really seemed to be under a spell and didn't take the third sip, just holding the ice porcelain cup and talking.

"This beef noodle shop is good. I'll treat you today."

As he was speaking, a diner left the table, and Chi Musheng hurried over and sat down.

Lu Ziqing asked the boss for two bowls of noodles, swept away the fallen locust leaves on the table, and listened to Chi Musheng.

"This morning was so thrilling! I was so worried for you, afraid you wouldn't be able to finish it."

Lu Ziqing smiled, "I made Lord Chi worry so much, so I must eat two more bowls later to make up for it."

"But." Chi Musheng smiled and patted the table.

"Although it was thrilling, it was very refreshing and satisfying! Just your debate with the scholars was even more exciting than anything in the theater. Didn't you see how green those old guys' faces turned?"

It was no wonder that Chi Musheng was so excited that he clapped his hands and cheered. He had been bullied by that gang for a long time, and they had teamed up to isolate him, or they had been doing bad things in secret.

Although he was angry, his family situation and his own circumstances did not allow him to take revenge. He had to keep all his dissatisfaction in his heart, and sometimes he would confide in Xu Shizhang.

It can be said that Chi Musheng has never been so happy as he is today. When he thought of the group of people who were blocked and speechless, and who couldn't do anything about Lu Ziqing, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing him happy, Lu Ziqing also laughed, but there was weight in his words.

"I'm determined to get the position of clerk, so even if more people come and ask more questions, I can't lose."

As they were talking, two bowls of noodles were served on the table. Chi Musheng brought them over and looked into Lu Ziqing's eyes again.

"Why is there no meat in your bowl?" He picked up the chopsticks and without saying anything, picked up two pieces of beef and put them into Lu Ziqing's bowl, "Here, mine..."

When Lu Ziqing saw the meat, he subconsciously moved the bowl away and said, "I don't like it, you eat it yourself."

Chi Musheng put the meat back into the bowl suspiciously and said, "You brought me here to eat beef noodles, but you don't eat it yourself?"

Lu Ziqing smiled without saying anything and was about to eat when he suddenly heard a familiar shout amid the noise.

"Ziqing."

He turned his head when he heard the voice and saw Su Chengfeng walking towards him with a smile on his face, followed by Xiao Yan and Yang Zhounan.

"Why are you here?"

"We're investigating a case and looking for something to eat at this hour. We didn't expect to meet by chance." Su Chengfeng drank sour plum soup and glanced at the table, "Oh, you haven't eaten yet either."

Lu Ziqing stood up and nodded to Xiao Yan, then looked at Su Chengfeng who sat down by himself, and then asked the boss for three bowls of noodles.

He looked at Su Chengfeng, who was sweating profusely and looked pitifully hungry, and pushed his bowl over to him.

"Eat this bowl first."

Su Chengfeng grinned and started eating without any hesitation. His mouth was full but he couldn't sit still.

"You had a test today, how was it? Did you pass?"

Mentioning this, Chi Musheng became excited again, his eyes shining as he spoke before Lu Ziqing could.

"Ziqing really showed off in today's assessment."

As soon as he said this, the others stared at him with expressions as if they were waiting for something surprising.

Su Chengfeng slurped the noodles and asked, "What do you mean?"
