A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Ignoring the affectionate gaze that Zhao Xuanmu and Hu Wanwan were exchanging, Huang Po grabbed Hu Wanwan's arm and took her pulse before Old Master Fu could.

Although Hu Wanwan's pulse was still weak, it was beating normally, which was definitely not the pulse of someone who was experiencing a final burst of energy before death.

Granny Huang let go of her hand dejectedly, took a few steps back, and her face turned pale.

It's unbelievable that someone could perform a cesarean section to remove a child and still save the mother's life.

Seeing Huang Po's reaction, Aunt Cui and Old Master Fu couldn't wait to take Hu Wanwan's pulse.

Aunt Cui: "This...this is impossible! How could this be?"

Old Fu stood there stunned for a long time, then sighed and shook his head, as if mocking himself.

He paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I have never seen such high medical skills in my life. With such medical skills, it is possible for him to become a five-star physician in the Medical Association."

A five-star doctor?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanmu was greatly surprised. There were very few five-star physicians in the entire Great Yu Dynasty, and they were not to be underestimated even in the capital. Noble families would treat them as honored guests, since even the most powerful families eat grains and are bound to get sick.

Zhao Jiaojiao felt a pang of sympathy. A five-star doctor must be very powerful. She wondered if Dr. Qian would hold a grudge against her for how she had treated him before.

Old Fu sighed, "Dr. Qian, you are being far too modest."

Director Zhang thought to himself with admiration that Nie Qianqian not only possessed superb medical skills in childbirth, but also had unique methods in other areas. It was only a matter of time before she became famous throughout the Great Yu Dynasty.

Old Woman Huang lowered her eyes and spoke in a low voice, "This old woman has practiced medicine for many years and received too much praise, which has blinded me and made me stubborn and unwilling to trust others anymore."

If we could turn back time by a decade or two, and faced with such an emergency, she certainly wouldn't look down on anyone or keep them at arm's length. She would do everything she could to gather ideas and help treat the patient.

Granny Huang looked at the two brass-colored gourds embedded in her medicine box and found them so jarring.

She reached out and pulled off the two brass-colored gourds.

Old Fu was startled. "Old Huang, your medical skills are superb and your experience is rich. Why belittle yourself? Take this gourd down!"

Without hesitation, Granny Huang threw the copper piece on the ground and said calmly, "Because this thing has become a constraint."

Old Woman Huang raised her eyes and looked at Doctor Qian. "Doctor Qian, I apologize for my previous disrespect. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing that Nie Qianqian remained unmoved, Granny Huang continued, "The physician evaluation of the Hanging Pot Medical Association can be done through internal recommendations. This old woman will recommend Dr. Qian as compensation for my previous disrespect. However, at most, it can only help Dr. Qian get two stars. Of course, with Dr. Qian's abilities, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to five stars."

Nie Qianqian did not refuse. The medical profession emphasizes "professional titles." If she wanted to practice medicine more easily in the future and gain the trust of patients, having a rating in the Medical Association would be helpful.

Aunt Cui narrowed her eyes, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, she clenched her fist tightly, made up her mind, and bowed to Doctor Qian. "Doctor Qian, your medical skills are superb. I, Aunt Cui, admire you greatly. Would you be willing to take me as your apprentice and teach me the art of cesarean section?"

Aunt Cui's words surprised everyone present. Director Zhang thought to himself: Aunt Cui is already a famous doctor. If we can take her as a disciple, it will directly make Nie Qianqian famous. From this perspective, it is not a bad thing.

Granny Huang frowned. If Doctor Qian's medical skills were so unique, how could he easily pass them on to outsiders? Aunt Cui's actions were a bit too much.

As expected, Doctor Qian did not hesitate for a moment, "I will not accept it."

Although Aunt Cui is a two-star physician like Granny Huang, she is only skilled in manipulating fetuses, and her delivery skills are mediocre. If she could learn Doctor Qian's methods, she would surely become famous throughout the world.

In her haste, Aunt Cui lost her composure. "If you teach me, I can save more pregnant women and babies in the future. Your medical ethics are so noble, why not do this good deed!"

Nie Qianqian said with a sneer, "Aunt Cui, you don't need to flatter me. There are many sufferings in this world. If I encounter them, I will do my best. But I am a doctor, not a god. I can't save everyone."

"I am just an ordinary person who charges money to treat patients, unlike some people who use the guise of saving the world when it is all for their own selfish purposes."

Cui Gu was greatly embarrassed when her thoughts were exposed. She pursed her lips tightly, feeling that Doctor Qian must be jealous of her previous disrespect.

She was filled with remorse, regretting it deeply. If she had been more humble and gained Doctor Qian's favor, she might have been able to learn this unique medical skill.

After speaking, Nie Qianqian fell into deep thought. Cui Gu's words reminded her that she should find a suitable person to pass on her medical skills to help more people.

Nie Qianqian looked at A Ling, who was glaring at Aunt Cui with a sense of shared hatred, and couldn't help but smile. Wasn't this the perfect person?

Nie Qianqian said slowly to A Ling, "A Ling, you helped me treat the patient just now without panicking or making a fuss. You are a talented person. Would you like to become my apprentice and learn my medical skills?"

Fearing the little girl might get confused, Nie Qianqian emphasized again, "Not a medicine boy, not a servant, but an apprentice."

Ah Ling was surprised that Doctor Qian would suddenly change the subject to herself. She was stunned for a moment, then remembered what Doctor Qian had told her before at the Zhao residence: find what you really want to do.

Is healing and saving lives what I truly want to do?

Ah Ling recalled the joy she felt when the baby cried, and the excitement she felt when Hu Wanwan opened her eyes.

Healing and saving lives can bring such happiness and fulfillment.

But if she becomes Doctor Qian's apprentice, who will take care of and serve Doctor Qian?

Ah Ling scratched her head and asked timidly, "Can Ah Ling be both the apprentice and servant of Doctor Qian?"

Director Zhang chuckled. "How did this girl get her head? She's so stubborn."

Nie Qianqian sighed helplessly, "I suppose they don't conflict..."

Ah Ling was overjoyed upon hearing this, feeling it was a perfect solution and immediately agreed.

When Aunt Cui saw that Doctor Qian had accepted Ah Ling as his apprentice right in front of her, she was indignant and her eyes were full of jealousy. What good luck this silly girl had! At such a young age, she was able to become Doctor Qian's apprentice. Wouldn't her future be bright?

"You'd rather take this stupid girl as your apprentice than me?"

Ah Ling puffed out her cheeks, huffing and puffing, "Hmph, who is this mother-in-law calling stupid!"

Nie Qianqian said leisurely, "I value aptitude and character when accepting disciples."

Aunt Cui clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh—this was an insult, an indictment of her lack of both talent and character…

Director Zhang felt embarrassed for Aunt Cui and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Madam Zhao has just woken up and needs to rest. We should leave first."

Old Huang nodded, bowed to Zhao Xuanmu, and then directly bid him farewell, "Master Zhao, now that your lady is alright, this old woman is of no use staying at your residence, so I will take my leave now."

Zhao Xuanmu hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay, saying, "Why is Granny Huang in such a hurry? Granny Huang has worked very hard to deliver the baby for Madam. Why don't you rest at my residence for a while and let me show you some hospitality to express my gratitude?"

Huang Po shook her head and refused. She was always decisive and efficient, and once she made up her mind, she would not waver.

Huang Po was about to leave when Doctor Qian stopped her, saying, "If Huang Po has nothing urgent, why don't you stay? We can exchange ideas about childbirth."

Huang Po's usually calm and composed expression changed, and she remained speechless for a long time.

Old Woman Huang opened her mouth, "I was disrespectful to you before, why are you still willing to give me advice?"

Nie Qianqian is not one to keep secrets; she can pass on some modern medical techniques, but only at the right time and to the right people.

It is true that Granny Huang is stubborn and self-willed. The reason I stopped her earlier was not to embarrass her, but because I was really afraid of wasting time.

Nie Qianqian was willing to offer some guidance because when she entered the inner hall, she saw that Granny Huang was covered in sweat and had an extremely anxious look in her eyes.

Nie Qianqian raised her hand and pointed to the location of her heart.

Because she still possesses the compassion of a healer, and because she had just removed the gourd, she was willing to adjust her mindset and reset everything.

Huang Po understood Doctor Qian's actions, and placed her hand on her heart. After a while, she bowed to Doctor Qian and said, "Doctor Qian is kind and righteous, Huang Po admires you."
