Old Prince An Ran took another sip of tea and continued, "Before the execution, the doctor's brother made a scene in the government office, saying that he was innocent. The emperor's uncle... who was the emperor at the time, inquired about the case and wanted to see the murderer. However, the Ministry of Justice tortured him severely and he was only left with one breath. In order to interrogate him, they had to cure him. At that time, no doctor in the capital could cure him. Only the imperial aunt could. However, one of the female victims was the daughter of the imperial aunt's good friend. The imperial aunt read all the family files and felt that there was no possibility of injustice. In the end, she chose not to save him."
At this point in the story, Zi'an and Murong Jie also knew the ending: the doctor must have been wrongly accused.
"Yes, the doctor was wrongly accused, and the murderer was his wife." Old Prince An Ran sighed, "The doctor died in prison, and his body was torn apart by a chariot. About half a year later, another case of a girl of marriageable age being murdered occurred in the capital. After investigation, the suspect was identified as the doctor's wife."
"How is this possible? Those girls have all been violated. How could his wife violate those girls?" Zi'an said in surprise.
"There is another accomplice, the disciple of Bao Yitang. He is ugly, and he was always ridiculed and bullied when he followed the doctor in and out of the noble family. Therefore, he hated the young lady of the noble family. The wife of the doctor was a concubine's daughter. She was framed by her mother and eldest sister. She was deflowered when she was fifteen years old and had children. Her reputation was damaged. After she got married and had children, she was fine. But after her eldest sister married into the marquis's mansion, she gave birth to three sons in a row, while she herself had no children. Her eldest sister even came to humiliate her. She was stimulated, and knowing that she could not defeat her eldest sister, she killed people to vent her anger."
Zi'an sighed repeatedly after listening to this. This was simply a drama of domestic intrigue, but it involved many innocent people and the doctor in charge of the whole hall.
"So," the old prince sighed and looked at her, "Aunt Royal is still upset about this matter. She thinks that she was prejudiced and blinded by personal grudges. If she had saved the doctor, the matter would have been investigated thoroughly and he would have been cleared of all charges. As a result, a life was implicated in vain and another young girl was killed."
Zi'an finds it hard to tell who is right and who is wrong, because the daughter of a good friend of Doctor Wen Yi was also killed at that time. After reading the family files, she also felt that the person was not wronged, so it was understandable that she did not save him. Who knew that there were so many twists and turns in the story
"Life is very long. You are a doctor, so you are destined to practice medicine for your whole life. You may encounter such problems in the future. Think about it carefully. If you can do it, it will not be too late to become my disciple. If you can't do it, then learn from medical books. How much you learn is your own blessing."
Zi'an couldn't answer for a moment. If it were in modern times, she would have promised it without hesitation. There wouldn't be so many personal grudges in a peaceful and prosperous era. But she happened to come here and marry into the royal family. She knew that she was not a good person or a kind person. If someone really hurt someone around her in the future, would she save him
I’m afraid that may not be the case.
"It's okay. Think about it carefully and answer my question after you have figured it out." The old prince stood up and went out.
Zi'an looked up at Murong Jie and said helplessly, "I really want to learn medicine from Doctor Wen Yi, but I'm afraid I can't do what she asks me to do."
Murong Jie knew that she was obsessed with medical skills. This was a great opportunity and she would definitely not be willing to give it up. However, everyone has their own personality. Even he could not do what Doctor Wen Yi asked.
If someone hurt Zi'an, let alone saving him, even killing him would not be enough to vent the hatred.
Zi'an forced a smile, but he didn't feel relieved at all.
Because this is not just a question of becoming an apprentice, it also questions her principles in practicing medicine.
As an educator, one should teach without discrimination; as a doctor, one should also save without discrimination, but she couldn't convince herself.
She has mixed too many personal emotions into her medical practice, and this kind of emotion is almost impossible to encounter in modern times.
Zi'an had been worried for two days, and Rouyao noticed it, so she asked, "Are you unhappy about something?"
Zi'an was really feeling aggrieved and worried, so he told him about Doctor Wen Yi's request.
After listening to this, Rouyao was silent for a while and said, "Doctor Wen Yi is indeed a great doctor. Zi'an, maybe you should think from another perspective. Don't think of this as a rule to regulate you, but as a principle for practicing medicine. After all, the possibility of you encountering such a thing is very low, but there will be more and more people around you who are sick and injured. Everyone will get sick. If you learn Doctor Wen Yi's medical skills, you can save the people around you, or at least help them prolong their lives. As someone around you, I really hope you can become Doctor Wen Yi's disciple."
Rouyao's words were like a bolt of lightning that split Zi'an's head, which was filled with weeds and was weighed down by them. She felt her mind suddenly open up.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of it? Is it true that pregnancy makes women stupid for three years?" Zi'an slapped himself.
Rouyao burst out laughing, then she straightened her expression and knelt down, frightening Zian so much that he kept backing away, "What are you doing?"
"My beloved disciple!" Rouyao said seriously.
…
"What are you fussing about?" Zi'an asked angrily.
"Obviously I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Rouyao kowtowed three times, "I want to learn good medical skills, I want to save the world, I want to heal people, even if I have to save my enemies, I'm willing to do it."
Zi'an blinked, feeling a little touched. This was the material for being a doctor.
Zi'an was just pondering when he heard another "plop" sound.
Zi'an looked up and saw Wu Yanzu kneeling down at the end of the corridor. He walked forward and said, "I want to be your disciple, too. I want to be your disciple, too."
… Zian was speechless!
Wu Yanzu was not shy. He bowed three times to Zi'an, then bowed to Rouyao, "Senior Sister!"
Rouyao really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are so old, and you call me Senior Sister. I am embarrassed to agree even if you call me that."
Zi'an also said, "Isn't it? At your age, I can't be your master."
"Master, Master," Wu Yanzu lifted up his face, revealing a fair and delicate face, "I am not old, I am only 22 years old this year, and I have not yet married."
Zian was dumbfounded, "You... you actually have the nerve to do that?"
And she couldn't even see it
It was really embarrassing. She was good at being thick-skinned, but she couldn't tell that Wu Yanzu had any shame.
Wu Yanzu said awkwardly: "There is nothing I can do about it. I am begging for food. Young man, the patient doesn't believe you, so I have to pretend to be older."
Zi'an hid inside, "All of you get up, I can't be your master."
"We don't intend to take you as our master. We just want to be the disciple of Doctor Wen Yi." Wu Yanzu said frankly and honestly, glancing at Rouyao, "Is that right, Senior Sister?"
"Get out of here! I'm different from you. I sincerely want to take her as my master." Rouyao was furious.
"Me too, I am sincere too." Wu Yanzu fell to the ground and whispered, "Senior sister is really acting like this."
Rouyao was so angry that she was stunned. When she saw Zi'an hiding in the room, she jumped up and beat Wu Yanzu. "Even if she is not a disciple of Doctor Wen Yi, I will still worship her as my master. Do you know how good her medical skills are? You come to worship her without knowing anything. You just want to have a reputation so that you can go out and make a living. How can I be the same as you?"
