Chapter 1129: Chapter 1126 Good News

Physician-in-Chief Lu couldn’t bother to speak; he lifted his foot and followed inside, with the other imperial physicians also trailing in behind him, eager to see the instructions. They had been sent here because their own lives were at risk.

All of them were without power in the court. Even Physician-in-Chief Lu was only there because the Imperial Noble Consort had begged the Emperor due to his excellent medical skill.

Physician-in-Chief Lu was not a man of the Noble Consort, nor did he like to form cliques for personal gain; now, when there were troubles, he was pushed to the forefront.

Lu Sangqi had just treated a seriously ill patient inside, easily dozens of people. Other doctors could not handle it; only he could, but one man can hardly fight against many. Just to examine, medicate, and record everyone’s condition, it took him three or four hours.

He had just sat down to rest, watching the medicine by the stove.

Physician-in-Chief Lu then walked in.

...

“Ahem.”

When Lu Sangqi heard the sound, he turned his head and saw his own grandfather. He was momentarily taken aback but not surprised.

“Grandfather,” Lu Sangqi stood up and paid his respects to him.

“Alright, you rascal, how did you have the guts to come here?” Physician-in-Chief Lu said, his brow furrowed. “You haven’t returned home in these two or three years; I’ve heard about it. It turns out you ran off to the outside world.”

“Grandfather, since I’m learning medicine, how can I be content with being complacent?” Lu Sangqi didn’t feel he was in the wrong at all and countered directly.

Seeing that his grandson still had a spirited attitude, Physician-in-Chief Lu said, “You rascal, have you been out so long that you can’t even answer your grandfather’s questions? If you want to learn medicine, you just have to come and find me.”

Lu Sangqi turned his head without speaking. Hadn’t he mentioned it before? But every time, they said he was too young, using the excuse that rather than wasting time and money going to the capital, he would be better off staying in the town to be a local doctor.

But when he went to the clothing store to be a local doctor, those old physicians would pull long faces, implying through their words that he was too young to consult patients alone. Before long, his reputation was ruined throughout the state government office.

And all of this, his beloved stepmother had helped orchestrate. Indeed, she had gone to great lengths.

Lu Sangqi gave a cold laugh and had no intention of saying anything to Physician-in-Chief Lu. He believed that once the epidemic in South State was over, no one would be able to stop his name from becoming renowned, and this was thanks to Ye Muyu’s help.

“Physician-in-Chief Lu, you and your grandson can talk more leisurely this evening. We must discuss the medicine first. I heard Young Master Lu has a treatment for the epidemic? Could you share it with us, uncles?”

Lu Sangqi didn’t want to talk to Master Lu in the first place.

He went directly with the other imperial physicians to explain some details of the epidemic, letting them start examining patients and sharing information.

Physician-in-Chief Lu blew his beard and followed along.

Several days passed.

After taking the medicine, Chu Heng’s condition improved significantly.

“Ah Heng, are you going to be alright?” Ye Muyu, fortunately, cleaned the room every day and drank the medicine; she hadn’t been infected.

Chu Heng, strong and robust as he was, had taken the medicine several times, and his body was already mostly recovered.

But he was still not allowed to go out.

However, Ye Muyu was permitted to sit with him at the table.

“Mm.” Chu Heng finished dealing with state affairs and looked at her. “If you feel unwell in any way, you must tell me early.”

“I know, you see me every day, I couldn’t hide it from you anyway,” Ye Muyu didn’t expect to be in such good health. Even though she was in South State, she still asked Du Heng to send over medicinal herbs.

Time flew by, and soon, more and more patients were recovering; the atmosphere inside the city gradually improved. Many of the displaced people stopped causing trouble, and things were moving in a positive direction.
