Hua Ling walked to the medicine cabinet and grabbed medicine. While grabbing it, she asked, "Xinzi, why don't you see the old gentleman?"
Nobuko looked up at Hua Ling, who was holding a scale to weigh medicine, and tilted his head in confusion: "Don't you know, Prince? Your husband was arrested for having an affair with an enemy country, as were all the other gentlemen."
"Others? There is no doctor in the palace now?"
"yes."
"How can this be done? If something happens, there will be no doctor to see you."
Hua Ling blurted out this sentence, but after exporting it, Hua Ling realized that it seemed that Qi Guo had already had an idea to suppress Rui Guo from within and implemented it.
The role of a physician is necessary everywhere, whether indoors or outdoors, in daily life or in war, because injuries may occur at any time and anywhere.
If all the doctors are transferred and no one is left to treat illnesses and save lives, it will only be self-defeating.
But now if I go outside to find someone with medical skills, I might be taken away by Qi Guo again, or I might be recruited by someone arranged by Qi Guo. It's too risky.
Hua Ling held the wrapped medicine bag in her hand, weighed it and sighed, then looked at Nobuko who was still sweeping the floor.
"Nobuko, can you see a doctor?"
"I'm not very good at it. I can only take medicine." Nobuko swept the floor with a broom angrily and suddenly raised his head, "Didn't the prince learn a lot from my husband? Can the prince teach me?"
Hua Ling held the medicine bag and tapped Nobuko's forehead with her finger: "Sir, he obviously taught us both together. Have you listened to the class?"
"Hee hee - no!" Nobuko was unreasonable and confident.
"Stupid boy." Hua Ling gently pinched the bridge of Xinzi's nose with his hand, "There cannot be anyone in the palace who can treat diseases. I cannot guarantee that I will be there all the time. I will teach you how to treat patients. It will give you more ability and more protection."
"Does that mean I can see the prince every day?"
"Oh? You want to go to class every day?"
"Mainly I want to see the prince..."
"It's not such a good thing. Classes will start tomorrow - if you don't listen carefully and don't pay attention, you will be punished by going to the lobby to attend court."
"Listen to the court!?! Prince, I was wrong, I didn't dare!"
"Don't say useless words, take practical actions."
Hua Ling left the pharmacy with her medicine bag. Nobuzi watched Hua Ling leave and sighed, and seemed to see the crow on Hua Ling's shoulder looking back at him.
"But... did the prince just come back from the frontier today? Why is there no news at all?"
Night, bathroom.
Hua Ling poured the powdered medicinal residue into the prepared bath water and stirred it evenly with her arm. When she took it out, her arm was red. She shook the water droplets away and put it under her nose to smell it. It was very fragrant, like a medicinal soup.
Feel.
Hua Shuo undressed Zhou Mo at the side. After taking off his clothes, he washed his body with warm water to warm it up. Then he slowly put Zhou Mo into the medicinal bath water and got into a good posture.
"If you're worried about him slipping down and drowning, you can go down and wash him together." Hua Ling saw that Hua Shuo took better care of Zhou Mo than the palace maid, and suggested to Hua Shuo with a smile.
Hua Shuo looked at the water that had turned brown due to the medicinal powder, raised her head and asked, "Is it okay if I go down?"
"It's okay. Keep in shape. If something happens, you'll have to take this medicine orally... Why don't you take a bath?" After Hua Ling said the first half of the sentence, Hua Shuo couldn't wait to take off her clothes and get into the water. Hua Ling's eyes were filled with tears.
A little confused.
Zhou Mo's body was soaked in the water, and his face was sweating a lot. Hua Shuo wiped it with a towel.
While twisting the towel, Hua Shuo suddenly asked Hua Ling, who was observing from the side: "Will Zhou Mo wake up after soaking?"
"Not necessarily. You may have to take a nap before waking up after doing this, or you may wake up after taking a bath. In short, it will be fine."
Hua Ling sat on the wooden chair with her legs crossed, watching the two people cuddling each other in the bathtub, frowning and thinking: Hua Shuo...does he like Zhou Mo? Just like it, there is nothing wrong with it.
"But Zhou Mo will be shy when he wakes up and sees you after taking a bath, right?"
"……ah?"
Hua Ling held her forehead and pinched her eyebrows: We all grew up being washed and raised by palace maids. You are not shy. Why is Zhou Mo shy...
Hua Ling sighed helplessly. Hua Shuo saw that the outline of Hua Ling's body had grown in size, the folds of the clothes on her body were stretched out, and her facial contours had become tougher.
"Satisfied?"
Hua Shuo was a little stunned, not sure if he was frightened: "He Bo Xun seems..."
"Take your bath." Hua Ling threw a folded towel and hit Hua Shuo on the face.
I don't know how long she had been soaking in the bath, but the heat around her had almost dissipated. Suddenly there was a coughing sound in the tub, which scared Hua Shuo and quickly checked on Zhou Mo's condition.
"Water...thirst..." Zhou Mo's voice was almost hoarse.
Hua Shuo turned around and was about to call the palace maid to prepare some clean water when she was slapped in the face by the water glass brought by Hua Ling.
"Turn around and don't be so anxious. Give it to him to drink." Hua Ling handed over the water glass, and Hua Shuo took it and helped Zhou Mo drink it all.
Only then did Hua Shuo realize that the color of the water was wrong, it was light yellow.
Hua Shuo looked at the water glass after drinking all the water, shook the glass and looked at the bottom of the glass: "Is this... medicine?"
"Drinking water, soaked in ginger and red dates, to replenish qi and blood. Want some?" Hua Ling took out a pot of ginger and red dates water that had been soaked long ago, and looked at Hua Shuo sinisterly.
Hua Shuo couldn't accept the taste of ginger and shrank her hands in fear.
"Is Zhou Mo awake?" Hua Ling looked at Zhou Mo leaning on Hua Shuo's shoulder. His complexion had recovered, but he didn't seem to wake up yet. His thirst was probably due to not eating or taking a bath. It seemed to be an instinctive reaction.
"It seems not yet." Hua Shuo wiped the sweat from Zhou Mo's forehead with a towel.
"It should be almost done. It's almost time. Come out. If you soak it any longer, the skin will probably be soaked to pieces."
Hua Ling sorted out the clothes they had changed and put them aside. Hua Shuo took Zhou Mo out of the bathtub and sat on a stool, then rinsed him with warm water without any powder, and also rinsed himself.
"...Uh...where is this?" Zhou Mo slowly opened his eyes, raised his head and looked around, and saw Hua Shuo's surprised look.
Hua Shuo hugged Zhou Mo: "You're awake!"
Zhou Mo also touched Hua Shuo's head, and then saw a man standing not far away.
"Prince...?"
"Hey, did you see me?"
As soon as Hua Ling saw this situation, she knew that there must be something fishy between Hua Shuo and Zhou Mo. Seeing that they were both very happy, she didn't want to spoil the fun.
"Having been lying down for so many days, are you hungry?"
Zhou Mo touched his abdomen, and suddenly his stomach growled. Zhou Mo looked at Hua Ling awkwardly: "I'm hungry...is there anything to eat?"
"The food is ready, but outside, let's eat some dates to cushion our stomach and replenish our blood." Hua Ling came over, took four or five dates and put them in Zhou Mo's hand, leaving one aside.
Peel off the date core and stuff it into Hua Shuo's mouth.
Hua Shuo looked at Hua Ling with wide eyes, chewing jujube meat in her mouth, swallowed it and said, "Is there any more?"
"Give it all to the Imperial Master~" Hua Ling spread his hands.
Zhou Mo put the red date into his mouth and spit out the date core in his hand: "It's quite sweet."
"Remember to drink the ginger and jujube water, don't waste it." Hua Ling gestured to Zhou Mo to look at the wooden basin placed on the table, which was filled with soaked ginger and jujube water, as well as a few slices of ginger and red dates.
Hua Shuo complained: "So many?"
"It's not like you can drink it all in one go. Is this still a lot?"
