The reason why Gu Xun asked him these questions on purpose was because he remembered what Ying Zheng said last time and wanted to deceive Huangshan by the way.
Of course, I don’t want to take credit from him. After all, he is a colleague. If he just accidentally learns something he shouldn’t know, then help him suppress it. It’s better to do less than to do more.
However, there were no flaws in the old man's performance. The abnormality in the previous moment was understandable. It would be strange if he didn't feel anything when he was suddenly asked about such a sensitive matter.
Maybe my observation skills are not enough.
Thoughts flashed through Gu Xun's mind quickly. He did not choose to believe that Huangshan didn't know about it, or give up directly, and continued:
"Well... Huang Yuanzheng's view is reasonable, but it's hard to say how things will develop."
"It's just a humble opinion, Deputy Guyuan, just listen to it for now. Anyway, I am a medical officer, so as long as I do my job honestly, there will be no trouble."
"Yes, that's right." Gu Xun nodded in agreement, and then asked casually, "Let's not talk about these official affairs. It's too far away and has nothing to do with us. Let's talk about the hospital."
"By the way, our hospital has female doctors, right?"
Huang Shan originally felt a little relaxed after listening to the first half of Gu Xun's words, but as soon as he asked the following question, his heart immediately became higher than before, "Of course there are female doctors...but not many, only three, and their medical skills are
It’s not considered top-notch.”
"Why is Deputy Guyuan interested in asking this?"
As soon as the question came out of his mouth, without waiting for Gu Xun's reply, Huang Shan looked at Gu Xun who was sitting up and down, showed a kind smile, and asked, "Vice-Chairman Gu Yuan is not that old yet, are you getting married?"
”
Gu Xun's body froze when asked this question, his mouth was half-opened, and the words he was about to say were broken in his mouth.
This tone...this expression...
Gu Xun decisively gave up the topic just now, and gave priority to blocking Huangshan's topic, "Gu already has a family, three wives!"
This is emphasized later.
"?" Huang Shan's words were blocked at this time. He was about to ask Gu Xun if he wanted to find a female doctor to get close to - of course, he knew that Gu Xun couldn't ask this to find a woman, but it was just to change the topic.
Just try it - and this is the answer.
It’s understandable that he already has a family. After all, although the other person looks young, he is still almost twenty years old and could have started a family long ago.
But the three ladies...should be concubines, right?
Even the prince can only marry one princess, so why do you have three wives? This is the kind of treatment only a king can have...
Seeing the old man's confused look, Gu Xun realized that his words might be a bit ambiguous, so he explained, "The 'ma'am' I'm talking about is different from what Huang Yuanzheng thinks."
Huang Shan also reacted at this moment, and the suspicion on his face disappeared.
It's not that Gu Xun's explanation is useful or that it's nonsense, but Huangshan remembered that there is a group of people who are not so particular about the names of their wives and concubines, and are often very general.
Jianghu people!
The children of Jianghu, who are happy with their grudges, don’t take these seriously, and they don’t distinguish them clearly, and they often refer to them collectively.
But he wasn't surprised. The doctor's profession was already very close to Jianghu. Before he entered Taiyuan Hospital, there were many Jianghu heroes among the people he came into contact with.
"Since the Vice-President of Guyuan has a family, what do you ask those female doctors to do? What use are they in?"
"No." Gu Xun quickly shook his head and spoke his question as quickly as possible to prevent Huangshan from taking the subject away again. "I just suddenly remembered something someone else told me."
"It is said that in the past, several female doctors at the Imperial Hospital died in accidents, not long before the Empress Dowager Zhao moved to Yongcheng... Does Huang Yuanzheng know?"
Huangshan's heart sank when he mentioned it. It seems that the deputy of the ancient courtyard really didn't just come to take a look... Your Majesty, are you suspicious?
"As an imperial physician, I naturally know."
"Then do you know how they died?" Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and asked.
"...Didn't the vice-president of the ancient courtyard say it himself? He died unexpectedly!" Huangshan added the accent intentionally or unintentionally to the last few words.
"Is it really an accidental death? What kind of accident?" Gu Xun continued to ask reluctantly.
"...Accident...It's just an accident, nothing special." Huang Shan's face turned a little ugly, and he replied in a slow and deep voice.
"How many people died exactly?"
"...four, which was also the number of female doctors in the Imperial Hospital at that time."
"Hey!" Gu Xun laughed when he heard this, "Huang Yuanzheng, four people died in an accident together... Is this reasonable? I'm more willing to believe you if you say they suffered from the plague."
"This is the explanation given by the Queen Mother, what can I do?" Huang Shan stared at Gu Xun with his cloudy eyes and asked in a sharp voice.
"I didn't even see their corpses. By the time I found out, the Queen Mother's people had already taken care of everything and they were buried. What else could I do...?"
Huang Shan behaves like a conscientious superior. Faced with the unreasonable death of his subordinates, he is helplessly sad and resentful.
This still doesn't mean anything... Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and hesitated whether to ask again.
The questions have come to this point, so let’s just finish them. No matter what the answer is, there will be enough reasons for Ying Zheng to stop when he goes back.
"Huang Yuan knows why they died in the Queen Mother's Palace."
"Huh..." Huangshan closed his eyes, took a long breath, and his lips trembled slightly before returning slowly:
"How do I know?"
"The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother's character has become increasingly moody in recent years. We medical officers are almost like ants to her. Maybe... just being in a bad mood is enough for her to kill someone to vent her anger."
After all, the respect a doctor receives is given by others. People will treat you with courtesy considering their reputation in the medical family, but if they don't take it into consideration, life and death are just a matter of a thought.
Huangshan's statement and Huangshan's performance still have no flaws.
"Du... Du... Du... Huang Yuanzheng makes sense." Gu Xun's finger joints were unconsciously rapped on the table. After a moment, he stood up, gathered his robes, and asked Huangshan:
"I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Gu. Where is my clinic?"
"I will take you there."
Gu Xun raised his hand and refused, "There's no need for Huang Yuanzheng to come out again, just tell me where you are and I'll go there myself."
When Huang Shan heard what Gu Xun said, he was not polite. He sat back down and said with a leisurely smile, "That's rude of me. My arms and legs are too old to move."
"Deputy Guyuan's clinic is in the southwest corner of the courtyard. Your name is hanging on the door. If you really can't find it, just ask the other people."
"Well, okay." Gu Xun nodded, remembering that he saw no one after entering the hospital, and asked again, "When Gu came in just now, there seemed to be no one in the hospital?"
"Ah... well, haha, there aren't many people in the Tai Hospital. Today, a few of them went out to visit us for consultation, so it seems even more deserted." Huang Shan explained, "But you just need to find a room at random.
Eighty percent of the time it’s someone else’s.”
Gu Xun said no more, turned and left the main hall.
Huangshan sat alone in his seat, watching Gu Xun's disappearing figure, and let out a long sigh of relief.
