Before long, Xiao Han and the others arrived in front of the medicine hall. Qing Ying saw Long Chuqing sitting inside from afar. Although he was wearing a mask, he was still easy to recognize.

"Your Highness," Qingying called into the carriage, "We've arrived at the pharmacy. Miss Long is indeed here."

Xiao Han stepped down from the carriage and saw her inside, seeing patients.

He stood outside and watched for a while, seeing her patiently asking patients questions, carefully taking their pulses, and writing prescriptions, etc.

Looking at the room full of patients, Qing Tong was quite puzzled: "It's already this late and there are still so many patients here."

Coughs and hoarse, wheezing sounds could be heard from the pharmacy every now and then.

After watching for a while, Xiao Han walked inside, heading towards Long Chuqing's location.

Doctor Yuan saw him first and quickly stood up to greet him: "Oh... Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Xiao Han raised his hand to indicate, "You go ahead and get busy."

Dr. Yuan understood. "Alright... if you're not here to see me, then I'll go back to my own business." He turned around and walked back to his consultation table to sit down.

After listening to their conversation, Long Chu turned his head to look at them, then continued writing the prescription in his hand, and then gave the patient some instructions and so on.

After instructing the patient, she stood up and walked to Xiao Han's side, frowning as she looked at him and said, "Xiao Han? What brings you here? Hurry up and get out of here. There are many patients here, and the flu is severe right now, so it's easy to get infected."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Han didn't leave. He simply asked, "Have you eaten?"

"We haven't eaten yet. Dr. Sun went to eat. We'll take turns eating. I'll go after he finishes eating and comes back."

"You'd better get out of here!" Long Chuqing waved at him. "I have many patients waiting here, I can't take care of you."

Before Xiao Han could reply, she sat down to continue seeing patients, even though there were many people waiting behind her.

Xiao Han looked around and found that there were quite a few patients, so he stood behind her and watched her work.

Long Chuqing looked back again and found him still standing there, so she ignored him.

Qing Tong and Qing Ying stood by, looking around but not knowing what to do. Qing Tong ran to ask Doctor Yuan if he needed any help.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Yuan glanced at the backyard and said, "The coachman is starting a fire in the backyard. Why don't you two go and take a look?"

Just as Qing Tong was about to leave, he called out again, "Wait a minute... Go ask the medicine boy for a bowl of medicine to prevent colds, and bring one for the prince as well."

"Alright..." Qing Tong replied and pulled Qing Ying towards the backyard.

A moment later, Qingying came over with a bowl of medicine: "Master... here, this is medicine to prevent colds."

Xiao Han glanced at the bowl of medicine, frowned slightly, and said indifferently, "I won't drink it."

"Ah...this..." Qingying held the medicine bowl with an embarrassed expression, unsure whether she should take it away.

After listening to their conversation, Long Chu turned to look at Qingying, who was standing there in a daze, and then looked at Xiao Han, who was resisting drinking the medicine, and said, "Drink it! It is effective in preventing the flu."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han glanced at her, silently took the bowl, picked up the bowl, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Seeing this, Qingying secretly gave her a thumbs up, thinking that Miss Long was the best.

Before long, Doctor Sun returned after finishing his meal. He came over and patted Long Chuqing on the shoulder: "Miss Long, I'm full. Go and eat while the food is still warm."

“Okay… I’ll go after I finish examining this lady.” Long Chuqing turned around and replied.

After finishing her consultation, she walked to the backyard, and Xiao Han followed her there. As they approached the backyard, a strong smell of herbs wafted over them.

If the front yard smelled strongly of herbs, then the back yard smelled even stronger.

Rows of medicine stoves were simmering medicine, and white steam was rising from many of the medicine pots.

At this moment, many people were busy in the backyard. Some were adding firewood to the medicine stove, some were lifting the lids of the medicine pots to check, and others were taking the medicine pots to fetch water.

Among them were patients' family members, pharmacy staff and apprentices, as well as the coachman and Qingying Qingtong.

While helping to stoke the fire, you also need to keep an eye on the medicine pot to prevent the fire from getting too big and causing the medicine to overflow.

Long Chuqing glanced at everyone's busy figures and then headed straight for the restaurant where they were eating.

As she passed the water vat, she washed her hands, while Xiao Han scooped water for her.

Long Chuqing took the bowl to scoop rice, then turned back to ask Xiao Han, "Have you eaten?! Do you want some?"

"I've already eaten at the palace banquet today."

He walked over to the table, glanced at it, and then said, "Chu Qing... I see these dishes are all cold. Let's reheat them before we eat!"

Long Chuqing scooped up the rice and came over, saying, "It's alright... just make do with this."

"I'll heat it up for you."

Just as Xiao Han was about to roll up his sleeves, Long Chuqing saw this and quickly sat down to pick up some food: "No need," she said, taking a bite, "It's not cold, it's still warm."

She wanted to finish eating quickly and get out, as there were still many patients waiting outside! Reheating the food would take even longer.

Seeing that she was already eating, he had no choice but to sit down opposite her.

There were four dishes, all of which were prepared and left for her, and they were all clean. She tasted each one.

"Would you like some more? These dishes are quite delicious; the chef's skills are pretty good."

"No, I ate a little while ago and I'm not hungry now. You should eat more."

She nodded and continued eating, while Xiao Han sat beside her watching her eat.

After finishing her meal, she put on a mask and went out to continue her medical check-up.

After the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), the number of people gradually decreases.

They wanted to see all the patients as quickly as possible, half an hour before curfew, so that they would have enough time to go home.

Curfew begins at 9 PM here; no one is allowed to go out. If caught by the patrol battalion, you will spend the night in jail, and you will have to explain the reason and write a self-criticism before you can leave.

Half an hour before 9 PM, the patients in the pharmacy had all left.

After seeing the last patient, Long Chuqing stood up and stretched. "What a fulfilling day."

She turned around and saw Xiao Han behind her, and asked, "Aren't you bored?"

Xiao Han smiled faintly: "Hmm... not boring."

"Let's go! Let's prepare to return home."

"Um......."

At the entrance, the coachman had already prepared the carriage.

Doctor Yuan saw them to the door: "Miss Long, please come again tomorrow if you have time!"

Xiao Han glanced at Doctor Yuan.

Upon seeing this, Doctor Yuan changed his tune, saying, "If you're tired, you can rest. Come whenever you want."

Long Chuqing smiled and said, "No problem. I'm bored staying in the manor anyway, so I'll go back first and come back tomorrow."

Judging from today's situation, she estimated that there would be many patients in the next few days. Since she had nothing to do at home, she thought she might as well come and help out.

Long Chuqing waved to Doctor Yuan and was about to get into the carriage when she lifted the curtain and saw Qingying sitting inside.

She looked surprised, then slowly said, "Ah... this... squeeze in!?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Tong quickly said, "Miss Long, why don't you go to the prince's carriage? It's spacious and comfortable."
