The two people entered the courtyard, said hello to the eunuch who was looking after the courtyard, and then walked into a room full of medicinal smell. This is where the imperial doctors usually study various diseases and make pills, so three walls are covered with medicine.
If you open a medicine drawer at random, there will be several small compartments containing various medicinal materials.
There is a large desk with various pharmaceutical utensils, a bowl, a cutting knife, and a medicine grinding trough on the floor. In short, everything is available.
Liu Yunqing put the medicine box on the small table beside him, wiped the cold sweat on his head with his wide sleeve robe, and said to his young apprentice: "Ophiopogon japonicus, do you feel that there is something weird tonight?"
"Master, please stop talking. A eunuch just died two days ago. He was taken away from us. Maidong is still afraid." Maidong is only about twenty years old. He has red lips and white teeth, and a pretty face, which means he is courageous.
He was a little too young and had no masculinity at all, so Liu Yunqing accepted him as his apprentice, firstly because he was clever and reliable, and secondly because he was entrusted by his family. Who knew that Maidong's mother was an old acquaintance of Liu Yunqing.
That woman's husband died early and she only had one son, Maidong, so when he was fifteen years old, he was sent to Liu Yunqing to study medicine.[
Liu Yunqing was the head of the Imperial Palace Hospital, and the Maidong family was considered a declining official family. It was not difficult to ask people in the official circles to bring him into the palace. It took nearly five years for him to enter the palace.
Here, Maidong studied medicine carefully with Liu Yunqing, and he achieved some success. He also had a thorough understanding of the properties, taste, and medicinal value of various medicinal materials. However, Liu Yunqing never asked him to see a doctor alone.
What I'm afraid of is that if he makes a slight mistake, it might cost him his life.
The palace is not like the market. If the wrong medicine is given, there may be a chance to recover the loss, at least not to lose one's life. However, it is different in the palace. If there is a mistake, you may be pushed out and beheaded.
Just when both of them felt a little guilty, what was going on tonight, a gust of wind suddenly blew, causing the candlelight in the room to sway. Liu Yunqing felt the veins on his forehead twitching, as if he had seen a ghost, and he felt nervous.
The land cannot be added to.
"Mai Dong, don't sleep tonight. Just stay here with Master."
"Master, if you don't tell me, I will accompany you. I'm more scared than you." Maidong patted his thin chest, his voice trembling slightly, and his eyes looking around.
The two people were in the medicine room. They were so scared that they hugged each other because of the gust of wind just now.
They took the candlestick and prepared to go to another room where there was a bed where they could rest. It was so late anyway and no one from the palace would come to summon them, so they decided to take a nap.
Just as the two of them were holding candles and preparing to walk towards the room, there was a noise from behind, followed by a cold female voice: "Forget it, I won't play hide-and-seek with you two. Liu Yunqing, let your disciple
Please leave for a while, I have something to ask you."
Hearing this voice, as sweet as running water in the mountains, and imagining what kind of voice it must be from a peerless beauty, the two men holding each other shook their bodies and turned around, as if they were seeing a fairy.
But because the light was too dark, and Lin Rouer was facing away from the light, the two of them couldn't see clearly what she looked like...
