……

The four people, chased half a street by the woman's large broom, were in a very sorry state.

Turning left and right, seeing that no one was following behind, Lin Shuyun bent over in a corner to catch her breath.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Come on, you two, come with me to rescue them."

After he finished speaking, there was no sound behind him, so he turned around.

Gui Tong slumped on the ground, panting like a dog. Dean Zhang was even more exaggerated, lying down with his eyes rolled back. The only one who was in a slightly better condition was Jiang Changtian, who was also panting heavily.

As soon as Lin Shuyun looked over, he blushed and looked like he wanted to say something.

Lin Shuyun didn't have time to deal with him for the moment and urged the two of them to get up quickly.

"You're so tired after running such a short distance. You're a doctor, after all. You should remember to exercise regularly. Being able to run fast can save lives in a critical moment."

"What the lady says is true," Zhang replied, gagging twice at the same time.

He ran so fast his heart almost stopped beating; this old man almost died here.

After a while, Gui Tong helped the trembling Zhang Yuanshou to his feet.

Dr. Zhang's legs trembled, and he awkwardly tugged at his sleeve. "This... I smell like pig manure. May I change my clothes before I go to see the patients?"

When he was lying in the pigsty, he was covered in pig manure. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to go to someone else's house looking like that?

Lin Shuyun smelled the stench and twitched her lips. She almost forgot that she probably wouldn't even be able to get into the academy in this state.

There was no other way but to take Director Zhang and Gui Tong home first.

There are some old clothes belonging to the old man and Xiaoqing at home that we can change into.

When she arrived at her doorstep, Lin Shuyun knocked on the door.

"Hey, you're back? And you brought two more with you..."

Qin Niangzi opened the door in response, but before she could finish speaking, she covered her nose and backed away, exclaiming, "My God, what's that smell? Did you roll around in pig manure?"

"That's about right, hurry up and close the door!"

Lin Shuyun pulled the three people outside the door in and furtively closed the door.

She came when no one was around, just in case someone saw her and she wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble.

When Chief Zhang was feeling awkward, he saw Madam Qin and froze, staring intently at her face.

Lady Qin had just taken a bath, and all the makeup on her face had been washed off; she hadn't had time to put on makeup yet.

She is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any artifice.

Seeing the old man staring at her, she frowned instantly. "You're so old, why are you still staring? If you keep staring, believe me, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

"Empress?!"

Headmaster Zhang knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face. "Mother... Mother, is it really you? You are... this is..."

This is the Empress! Didn't the Empress pass away and get buried in the imperial mausoleum? How come she's here?

Surely he couldn't have seen a ghost in broad daylight, could he?

Dean Zhang was so surprised and excited that he stammered and his whole body was trembling.

Qin Niangzi covered her nose and took a few steps to the side, looking at Zhang Yuanshou with disdain.

"Mother my foot! I could never have given birth to a son as old as you! Don't try to claim kinship with me!"

After saying that, he looked at Lin Shuyun and said, "Where did you find this old man with a bad mind? Is he crazy or stupid? Why is he randomly calling someone his mother?"

While Dr. Zhang was kneeling, Lin Shuyun poured herself a glass of water and drank it. "He's a doctor who was imprisoned by the Guo family. He should be quite skilled. I'll take him to save Old Man Xu. He calls you 'Mother'? Maybe it's because you look like his mother."

"Your Majesty" is probably a title for a concubine or princess. Lin Shuyun took another sip of water, knowing better but saying nothing.

She needed a doctor to cover for her when she wanted to use her supernatural abilities to save people, which is why she saved the old man on the side.

Judging from his appearance, this old man must be someone important?

Qin Niangzi raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you go to Yaoyue Tower? Why did you go to the Guo family?"

Then I saw Jiang Changtian. "Didn't you go out to buy paper? Where's the paper?"

Lin Shuyun drank her water and remained silent when asked.

Jiang Changtian stammered, glancing at Lin Shuyun as he spoke, "I forgot to bring my money."

When Chief Physician Zhang saw that the Empress Dowager wouldn't even glance at him, he was heartbroken. "Your Majesty, don't you recognize me? I am Zhang Qizheng!"

Zhang Yuanshou's real name is Zhang Qizheng.

Qin Niangzi seemed to be thinking about what Zhang Yuanshou was saying, and then said "oh" under the expectant and excited look on Zhang Yuanshou's face.

Then, expressionless, she said, "Don't know me? Are we that familiar? Could it be that you're my long-dead husband who's come back to life?"

Upon hearing the words "dead husband," Director Zhang nearly fainted again.

Lin Shuyun grabbed the kneeling Dean Zhang and lifted him up. "Hurry up, stop dawdling, change your clothes quickly, don't delay me from saving people!"

"Aunt, could you please find a set of clothes for the old man and Xiaoqing?"

After saying that, Lin Shuyun went back to her room to change her clothes; she had been walking around the pigsty and it smelled terrible.

Jiang Changtian hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips and followed.

Madam Qin found some clothes and gave them to Zhang Yuanshou and Guitong. "Here are the clothes and the water ladle. There is water in the backyard."

"Your Majesty, how could we possibly trouble you!"

Dean Zhang hurriedly and respectfully accepted it.

Madam Qin gritted her teeth as she looked at the fawning old face. "If you dare call me 'Mother' again, believe me, I'll smash your head open with a ladle! I don't know you, and you don't know me, understand?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Upon hearing this, Dean Zhang shrank back and dared not speak, wishing he could slap himself.

The Empress faked her death and left the palace because she definitely didn't want to acknowledge them. He's so stupid that he only realized this now.

Gui Tong followed Director Zhang like he was invisible.

My mind kept thinking, "Oh no, oh no, could the master be possessed by an evil spirit?"

The two of them went to the backyard to shower and change clothes.

Qin Niangzi stood there for a moment before coming to find Lin Shuyun.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw two people, one sitting and the other standing hunched over like an abandoned dog, looking pitiful.

Although it sounds strange to describe it this way, that's the general feeling it gives.

"What's wrong with you two? Did you have a fight?" Qin Niangzi's gossipy soul instantly kicked in.

Lin Shuyun had already changed her clothes and washed her face. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing. We're going to the academy to see the old man and Xiaoqing. Aunt, would you like to come along?"

Jiang Changtian noticed that Qin Niangzi was keeping her head down and not saying anything; he had already removed the beard that was pasted on his face on the way.

Qin Niangzi pouted, "I won't go. I'll stay home and look after the house. Remember to go early and come back early. If the old man's injury isn't serious, bring him back. It's not good for him to stay at someone else's house all the time."

"oops?!"

Just as Lin Shuyun was about to leave, she heard Qin Niangzi suddenly scream, which startled her so much that she almost jumped.

"Aunt, what's wrong?"

Qin Niangzi pointed at Jiang Changtian in surprise, "How did this kid's leg suddenly get better? Could he have been healed for a long time and kept it from us? He's too cunning!"

Jiang Changtian: ...

Aunt, please, please don't bring up things that are hard to talk about.

"Oh, so this is what made Yunyun angry, hahaha, no wonder I felt something was off as soon as you got back, serves you right!"

Qin Niangzi, always eager for a good show, made Jiang Changtian's heart ache with tears.

Can you please stop talking?
