The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

The Empress Dowager looked at Li Anqi and then continued.

"Doctor Guo had a son late in life, and he cherished his precious son the most. I heard... his son is now also in the Imperial Hospital, and is even an imperial physician."

Li Anqi nodded: "Your Majesty, I know that Imperial Physician Guo Yuandi is the son of Physician Guo. My sister and I are usually taken care of by Imperial Physician Guo."

The Empress Dowager remained silent, but looked at Li Anqi with a meaningful expression and nodded slightly to him.

Li Anqi pondered the meaning in the Empress Dowager's eyes, then suddenly understood.

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. Many things cannot be obtained no matter how much you beg; when necessary, certain means must be employed," the Empress Dowager said.

“…Thank you for your guidance, Empress Dowager.” Li Anqi bowed his head.

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly at Li Anqi.

a few days later.

Li Anqi invited Guo Yuandi to the Prince Xiao's residence to have his pulse checked and to have his hands examined.

Guo Yuandi changed the dressing on Li Anqi's hand and re-bandaged it with gauze.

"Your Highness's hand is mostly healed. After a few more days, with the application of scar-repairing cream, it will be back to normal."

"Thank you very much, Imperial Physician Guo."

Li Anqi stood up and invited Guo Yuandi to the round table in the outer room.

"The Lantern Festival is approaching, and the cooks in the manor have just developed a few new dishes. Imperial Physician Guo, why don't you try them and have a meal before you leave?"

Guo Yuandi glanced at the delicacies on the table, then at Li Anqi, seemingly hesitant.

Li Anqi sat down at the table, poured two cups of wine, and smiled at Guo Yuandi.

"Physician Guo, please don't stand on ceremony. In the six months I've been at Prince Xiao's residence, I've been very fortunate to have your care. It's only right that I treat you to a meal."

Looking at Li Anqi's smiling face, Guo Yuandi was slightly lost in thought for a few seconds.

He suddenly recalled the scene when he first met Li Anqi, and she rushed to save him from under her horse. His cheeks inexplicably flushed.

"Please sit down, Physician Guo." Li Anqi gestured for him to sit in the empty seat next to him.

Guo Yuandi lowered his head, paused for half a second, and obediently sat down next to Li Anqi.

Li Anqi picked up his wine glass, seemingly recalling the past.

"Back then at the racetrack, my sister rode the prince's black horse, soaring over our heads. Do you remember, Physician Guo?"

Guo Yuandi glanced at Li Anqi secretly and nodded slightly.

Li Anqi curled the corners of his mouth, his tone completely calm.

"At that time, the prince saved my sister, and my sister even acted coquettishly towards the prince. I thought they were a match made in heaven."

Guo Yuandi thought Li Anqi was secretly grieving.

He thought for a moment and then offered words of comfort.

"Since Your Highness has requested a marriage decree from the Emperor, you must also have feelings for the Empress. Once the Empress has a child, she can rise in status and enjoy a life of wealth and honor."

Something suddenly struck Li Anqi's heart, and he felt a vague sense of panic.

"I am in mourning for the old lady and cannot be close to the prince for three years, but what about after three years..."

Li Anqi frowned, seemingly talking to himself.

Guo Yuandi was somewhat surprised to learn that Li Anqi was still a virgin.

He picked up his glass and drank it down, trying to use the alcohol to hide his burning cheeks.

"The Lady Chess is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, possessing unparalleled beauty and grace. Her dignified and intelligent nature is beyond the reach of others. Given time, she will surely win the Prince's favor."

Li Anqi refilled Guo Yuandi's glass.

"I never thought I would gain the prince's favor."

Perhaps it was because the alcohol was too strong, but Guo Yuandi's heart was pounding like a drum, and he felt slightly dizzy.

He mustered his courage and looked at Li Anqi.

Seeing Li Anqi staring intently at him, he quickly looked away and awkwardly drank another cup.

Li Anqi continued to pour him wine.

"A few days ago, my elder brother had both his legs broken. If it were Imperial Physician Guo, how would he treat him?"

Guo Yuandi held his head, struggling to maintain his increasingly hazy will.

"If the meridians are not damaged, the patient will recover normally after the bone is set. If the meridians are damaged, there is a risk of paralysis. If you want to treat it, you need acupuncture, massage and soaking in medicinal soup. None of these can be omitted."

Li Anqi, with a slightly tense expression, helped the drowsy Guo Yuandi up and leaned closer to ask.

"Can Imperial Physician Guo cure it?"

Guo Yuandi's face was flushed red, and he was sweating profusely.

He frowned, closed his eyes, and shook his head: "My father... perhaps he can..."

After saying that, he could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the table to sleep.

After Guo Yuandi woke up.

He found himself lying on Li Anqi's bed.

It was already dark outside the window.

Seeing Li Anqi's jade-like sleeping face beside him, Guo Yuandi instantly sat up like a spring!

Li Anqi calmly opened his eyes, taking in Guo Yuandi's fear and embarrassment.

Looking at the clothes scattered on the floor in front of the bed, Guo Yuandi concluded that he had offended Li Anqi while drunk.

He quickly got out of bed, picked up his clothes, knelt in front of the bed, and buried his face deeply.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die! Your Majesty..."

crunch--

Before Guo Yuandi could finish speaking, the door was opened.

Shi Ming was carrying a food tray when she came to deliver fresh tea to Li Anqi.

Shi Ming widened her eyes slightly, looked at Li Anqi on the bed, and then at Guo Yuandi, whose clothes were disheveled.

A trotting sound came from outside the door.

Zhilan hurriedly entered the room, her expression unusually flustered.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This servant didn't see anything!"

After saying that, Zhilan pulled Shiming and walked out.

Guo Yuandi was terrified, and stumbled and fell to the ground.

Li Anqi frowned slightly and said to Shi Ming.

"You can go out now. Remember to knock next time."

"Yes."

Shi Ming let Zhi Lan pull her along, and then glanced at Guo Yuan Di two or three more times with indifferent eyes.

Zhilan quickly led Shiming outside the room and closed the door.

Guo Yuandi's face was ashen, and his ears were burning red, as if he had lost his soul.

Li Anqi slowly got up and covered his slightly open collar.

"If this matter gets out, Prince Xiao will definitely not let you and me off the hook."

She lowered her eyes and continued.

"I was also at fault in this matter. If Imperial Physician Guo is willing to do me a favor, I will pretend that today's events never happened."

Looking at Li Anqi's gentle and touching expression.

The redness and heat in Guo Yuandi's ears spread to his cheeks.
