Zi'an immediately showed great respect for Wu Yanzu. He never expected that this young man with greasy hair and powdered face, who looked so unserious, would be so respectful of his profession and so committed to his principles.
Zi'an seemed to have some sudden realization, and just when she was about to let the matter go, Wu Yanzu suddenly came out to remind her.
"Wu Yanzu, I admire you very much. You are a qualified doctor." Zi'an said sincerely.
Wu Yanzu looked at Zi'an in confusion, "Don't you think so? But I heard from Sister Rouyao that you said you can do what Doctor Wen Yi asked."
Zian shook his head gently, "It's easier said than done."
Wu Yanzu was puzzled. "What's so difficult about it? As doctors, what we seek is to have superb medical skills and save more people. It would be a pity if we were to be complacent for the sake of one person and give up the opportunity to save many people."
Seeing that she remained silent, Wu Yanzu continued, "Also, I heard from Sister Rouyao about the fate-killing Gu. You haven't been able to cure the fate-killing Gu for the prince yet. If you give up being Doctor Wen Yi's apprentice, what if Doctor Wen Yi has a good prescription?"
Zi'an was surprised at first. He was surprised why Rouyao told him everything
Secondly, it was shocking. Yes, why didn't she think of this? Thinking more deeply, could this be a test given to her by Doctor Wen Yi
If she saves the emperor and proves that she can meet Doctor Wen Yi's requirements, Doctor Wen Yi will accept her as a disciple.
If she didn't save him, she would have given up learning medicine from Doctor Wen Yi. Then, she wouldn't be able to cure Sun Fang'er's poison, which was equivalent to not being able to save the Seventh Brother. The Seventh Brother would be tied to the life and death of King Nan Huai for his entire life.
And if it was really a test, then the Empress Dowager would definitely be involved. Just as we thought before, if the Empress Dowager wanted to watch the Emperor die, she would not have to give the prescription at all and could just stand by and watch.
Also, what Aunt Ashe said to her that day came to her mind one by one. Aunt Ashe said that the Empress Dowager was old, her heart had softened, and she was beginning to be reluctant to let go.
Aunt Ah She was hinting to her that the Empress Dowager couldn't bear to see the emperor die, but she couldn't do anything directly, so she gave her this prescription and pretended that it was given by Doctor Wen Yi, with the purpose of saving the emperor.
"Master," Wu Yanzu saw that she was suddenly distracted and looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zi'an came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, I just sighed that you are more suitable to be a doctor than me." Not only him, but even Rouyao is more professional than her.
"Master is so modest. Master is such a good doctor and is also proficient in acupuncture. I wonder how many people he can save."
Wu Yanzu looked at Zi'an and said, "In fact, I don't think it's difficult to make a decision. It depends on who you think you are. If you just think you are a doctor, then there is no one who cannot be saved."
Zi'an really didn't expect Wu Yanzu to say such words. They were really philosophical.
"Thank you." Zi'an said sincerely. Although she had not decided what to do, Wu Yanzu's words gave her some ideas. At least, she would think about it more carefully.
Wu Yanzu smiled naively, "No thanks, I'm glad I helped Master. I really hope Master can become Doctor Wen Yi's disciple, so that I can become Doctor Wen Yi's disciple's grandson."
Zi'an smiled and said, "Do your best."
She sent Wu Yanzu out, changed her clothes, and went to Dingfeng with Lingli and two masters.
As expected, Rouyao was in Hu Huanxi's office. Hu Huanxi was obviously relieved to see her coming, and quickly stood up to greet her, "What a rare guest, what a rare guest!"
Zian smiled and said, "What's wrong? Do you miss me?"
Hu Huanxi blinked and said, "Of course I missed you. Please take a seat."
Zi'an sat down and said, "It's no use for you to miss me. I'm not here to find you. I'm here to find Rouyao."
"Looking for me?" Rouyao was stunned. "How did you know I was here?"
"I heard you've been staying here lately." Zi'an took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her, "This is from Ajing."
Rouyao took it reluctantly and pouted, "Write a letter? Why didn't you tell me directly? And I asked you to pass the letter to me."
"He went back to Beimo, didn't you know? Maybe he came to look for you before, but you probably didn't want to see him."
Rouyao was shocked. "He went back? When did he go back?"
"They left last night." Zi'an sighed, "They came to say hello to me yesterday and said they were leaving today. I went to see them off today, but I found nothing. They slipped away in the dark last night."
Rouyao sneered, "Just leave if you want to. Why are you still writing a letter?"
"They have to go back eventually, Rouyao, what do you really think? Do you really like Ajing?"
Rouyao held the letter, feeling somewhat lost, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Zi'an pulled her to sit down, "Are you still...?"
Rouyao smiled bitterly, "I don't know, I really don't know. When I heard Ajing tell me that he liked me and wanted to marry me, I was very touched, but after I calmed down, I couldn't help but compare him with Su Qing. Zi'an, people's hearts are very strange. If Ajing and I had been exiled in the Northern Desert, I would have fallen in love with Ajing, because at that time I relied on him wholeheartedly and trusted him, but now that I'm back, everything seems different."
"Do you think Ajing is not as good as Su Qing?" Hu Huanxi interrupted.
Rouyao shook her head, "It's not that Ajing is not as good as Su Qing, it's just that I liked Su Qing first."
"So what? Su Qing doesn't like you. What's the point of unrequited love?" Hu Huanxi is a pragmatist. If he can't get it, he might as well not ask for it.
"He doesn't like me, and I didn't say that I have to be with him. It's fine this way. He likes Lingli, and I hope he can be with Lingli."
"What are you thinking?" Zi'an looked at her in surprise.
"This way..." Rouyao smiled bitterly, "It's safer."
Zi'an and Hu Huanxi looked at each other, bewildered. What kind of theory is this? Unrequited love is safer? What the hell is safe? Of course, it is more important to hold happiness in your own hands.
"Rouyao, what exactly is going on between you and Prince Nan Huai?" Zi'an decided to ask her. She felt that this was the heart of Rouyao's heart.
Rouyao's face changed drastically. "What could possibly happen between him and me? Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing her like this, Zi'an could only say, "Well, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."
She changed the subject, "By the way, why did you tell Wu Yanzu so much about us? You even told him about the Fate Gu."
Rouyao was stunned. "I didn't tell him. How could I tell him about the fate-sharing Gu? I trust him too much. How come he knows about it?"
Zi'an said solemnly: "He knows, and he said you told him."
"Impossible. I'm not that familiar with him. On the way back, he rode his donkey and we took the carriage. We hardly spoke to each other. After I came back, how many times have I been to your palace?"
Zi'an and Hu Huanxi looked at each other. This was a big problem!
