Chapter 193 Stealing the Beauty of Others

 Two days later, a big event happened in Shengjing.

After the Fengle Tower fire incident, the eldest son of Taishi Mansion reappeared after he had not been seen.

Qi Yutai appeared at the door of Si Li Mansion. Many people saw him when he passed by the porch. Those who saw him said that except for his pale face and thinness, his behavior was normal.

As soon as Lu Zhu arrived at the dining hall of the dormitory and sat down with a bowl in his hands, he heard the medical officers at the next table talking.

"I said, how could he go crazy for no reason? Maybe there was a fire at that time, and Mr. Qi was frightened. How could he be rumored like this?"

“Master Taishi is really good-natured, and he is not angry at being spread rumors like this. A few days ago, when I went home, even my uncle who didn’t care about anything asked me if Master Taishi was suffering from epilepsy? It’s really scary!”

Lu Xu lowered his head and stirred the rice porridge in the bowl with chopsticks. Lin Danqing put down the steamed buns and looked at the speaker doubtfully: "Is that good?"

"Can we still leave? Mr. Qi is very well now. Besides, the Taishi Mansion sent a thank-you gift to the envoy early this morning. I think he must have recovered!"

 Lu Xu put down his chopsticks.

Lin Danqing turned to look at her: "Sister Lu?"

Lu Zhen stood up, pushed the porridge bowl, stood up and left without saying a word.

Lin Danqing hurriedly followed up with the steamed bun in his mouth, and said hurriedly behind her: "I know you are unhappy, but who knew he would be fine so soon... But you can't show it so obviously? There are countless talkative people in the medical hospital. , be careful of being seen chewing your tongue behind your back—"

Lu Zhen interrupted her: "Where is the medicine list that was sent to the Imperial Pharmacy recently?"

Lin Danqing was stunned, "What happened in the medical record library?"

Lu Zhuo turned around and walked to the medical record library without looking back.

Lin Danqing quickly followed.

After entering the medical record library, there was a stack of volumes on the outer shelf. Lu Zhu pulled out a single volume and flipped through it. Lin Danqing was confused, "Sister Lu, what are you doing? This medicine list is not allowed." The medical officer is looking through it, why don't you close the door..."

The medical official hospital prescribes syndromes based on syndrome differentiation, and sometimes the new medicines and medicinal materials are not enough, so you have to go to the imperial medicine hospital to ask for them, and all the approved medicinal materials are recorded in the book. But without special reasons, medical officers are not allowed to look through it at will.

Lu Zong turned a few pages, and suddenly stopped. Then, he took out one of the medicine sheets, turned around and walked out. Lin Danqing was startled: "Hey, you block it..."

 “Where is the envoy now?” she asked.

Lin Danqing replied: "He is in his own room. He will not enter the palace today. A medical officer saw him in the morning. What are you going to do?"

Lu Huo clenched the medicine list, his expression showing anger.

 “Confront him.”

 …

Outside the study, Cui Minzheng stood with his hands behind his hands, watching the servants of the Taishi Mansion move the wooden boxes into the room.

The wooden box is heavy, and the lid is opened, allowing people to see clearly the contents inside. Most of them are isolated painting books, as well as good inkstones, paper and ink.

 This is a thank you gift from Taishi Mansion.

It is not an external object such as gold, silver or jewelry. This elegant object can just show his simplicity and benevolence. It can also let everyone in the medical and official hospital see that the Taishi Mansion values ​​Cui Min more than money, gold and silver. .

The medical officers passing by were secretly talking about it, their eyes full of envy. The confidant came forward with a smile and complimented in a low voice: "Congratulations to the envoy, the Grand Master is very important to you."

 Attention?

Cui Min looked in front of him with a dull expression, a trace of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

This month he has been suffering every day, tossing and turning. During the day, he went to Qi's house to treat Qi Yutai, and at night he repeatedly adjusted the prescription at the hospital. Qi Yutai lost weight, and his hair turned gray. At the end of the day, all he got was a box of painless things and a few light words of thanks.

You must also show yourself to be deeply honored and grateful.

How sad and ridiculous.

However, it has been 20 years since he entered the Medical Academy. It is not easy for him to get here as an ordinary person. Ji Xun, a rising star, is eyeing him. Concubine Yan, whom he relied on back then, has long since lost power. If the Taishi Mansion hadn't been behind him, I'm afraid that the current ambassador to the hospital would be The position is not stable either.

  There is no choice.

After watching for a moment, Cui Min was about to turn around and go back to the house when he suddenly heard a voice: "Envoy!"

 Looking back, Lu Zhuo was walking quickly from outside the hospital.

She walked very fast, and her voice was slightly higher than usual. When the medical officers around were watching the gifts from the Grand Master's Mansion, they all raised their eyes to look at her.

Cui Min: "Medical Officer Lu..."

Lu Zhen walked up to him and interrupted him: "Envoy Cui, did you steal my prescription?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

Lin Danqing, who followed, was so surprised that he forgot to speak for a moment.

Cui Min's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at her, but his tone remained calm: "Why did Medical Officer Lu say this?"

“More than ten days ago, the envoy of the hospital ordered me to go to the study room to ask about the new prescription I prepared in the last question of the Dafangmai test paper for the spring examination.”

“The Chinese medicine prescriptions in the examination papers were written down in a hurry. There were deficiencies in them. When the envoy from the hospital asked me how to make up for them, I told him accordingly.”

"Now," she looked at the wooden box filled with ancient books and ink that was being moved to the door in the courtyard, and said coldly: "The young master of the Qi family has recovered from his illness, and the Taishi Mansion has presented a gift of thanks. But all this was done by the courtyard. He stole my prescription."

"The envoy of the hospital is upright and he is the head of the hospital. How can he do such despicable things?"

 There was a pause all around, and then there was a sudden discussion.

Chui Min went to the Taishi Mansion to treat Qi Yutai, and no one in the medical hospital knew about it.

 But no one knows the specific condition of Qi Yutai and the medical records except Cui Min himself.

Now that Lu Huo suddenly made an attack here and questioned Cui Min in front of everyone, it is inevitable that people will be curious.

 Suddenly someone among the medical officers said something—

"Medical officer Lu has such a big face. It is the hospital envoy's ability to cure Mr. Qi. What does it have to do with you? You are here with a red mouth and white teeth, and you are making false accusations. Do you really think that being number one on the red list in the spring examination is a big deal, and that everyone is thinking about it. That recipe of yours!”

Lu Zhen glanced sideways, and it was Cao Huai who spoke.

Cao Huai snorted coldly.

Ever since he dumped Jin Xianrong's messy errands on Lu Huo a few months ago, and when he returned home claiming to be ill, he began to have sweet dreams at home about Lu Huo being tortured by Jin Xianrong. Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, there was no news of Lu Zhuo's misfortune. Everything in the medical hospital was calm and nothing major happened.

It was really strange in his heart. When he returned to the Medical Officer's Hospital, Cao Huai asked an acquaintance of the medical officers to ask about Lu Zhuo's news, but he got a bolt from the blue.

"Medical Officer Lu? Didn't she treat Mr. Jin's renal cyst carbuncle? The treatment was quite good. I saw Mr. Jin's servants delivering medicine books to Medical Officer Lu a few times before. They treated him with great respect, which was much better than before."

“Medical Officer Lu, you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve!”

 Cao Huai is like being struck by lightning.

Lu Zhen actually cured Jin Xianrong!

That's all. What's even more disturbing is that after he returned to the Medical Officer's Hospital, Chief Cui never assigned him any errands. Although he himself was not a hard-working person, this batch of new medical officers were admitted to the hospital. Everyone wanted to stand out and sat on the bench for a long time. If he failed the official examination, he would have no chance to become a medical officer.

He put all the blame on Lu Huan. However, Lu Huan, who had cured Jin Xianrong, was already well-known in the hospital. Later, Pei Yunying, the commander of the front department, bullied others from behind, so he did not dare to take action rashly. .

 Unexpectedly, Lu Zhuo would now actively seek death.



He wanted to stir up trouble again and make the matter bigger, preferably until it could not be ended, so he shouted loudly: "Do you know what the crime should be for falsely accusing a court official?"

Lu Zhu's eyes were as cold as ice: "Medical Officer Cao opened his mouth to make false accusations, which would be biased."

"There is no basis for what you say, but Medical Officer Lu has the ability to provide evidence."

 “Of course I have evidence.”

Cui Min's eyes were slightly startled, and the hands hanging behind him were quietly clenched.

Lu Zhen raised his hand, and the scroll of paper unfolded in front of him, dragging it long in front of him.

She said: "That day, Cui Yuan envoy told the subordinates that the prescription written in the Spring Examination can soothe the soul and relieve panic and palpitations. But if the patient is in addition to that, he is as confused as crazy, has troubles and is frightened, and he cannot rely on this prescription. The effect of the medicine is superficial, and it may alleviate the symptoms of false talk and delusion, but the state of being distracted and frightened is still there.”

“So Xiaguan added a few flavors of Baiji, flax, light bamboo juice, Phellodendron cypress, Baishi, and Xuejie to this prescription..."

 Lu Xueyi showed the book of traditional Chinese medicine.

"This is a single volume of medicinal materials that the Medical Officer's Hospital asked the Imperial Pharmacy to distribute a few days ago. Among them are Baiji, flax, Danzhuli, Phellodendron, Baishi, and Xuejie."

"I just told the envoy the prescription, and he immediately started using it. Is it just a coincidence?"

She stood with a cold expression on her face: "The hospital envoy first stole the prescription on the pretext of asking about medical science and pharmacology, and then used the prescription to cure Mr. Qi's illness."

“During my medical practice, I never mentioned being lowered to an official position. It’s clear that I want to steal other people’s beauty and use it as my own strength!”

 The last sentence is sonorous, powerful and striking. There was silence all around, and all the medical officials looked at each other, and then whispers gradually began to sound.

Although what Lu Zhuo said seems to make some sense at first glance, is it a bit too far-fetched to accuse the hospital envoy of plagiarism based on just a prescription?

Cui Min raised his hand, suppressed everyone's whispers, and then looked at Lu Huo.

He stared at Lu Huan for a long time, and then said: "Medical Officer Lu, you said that I plagiarized your prescription to treat Mr. Qi's disease?"

"good."

Cui Min raised his chin slightly, and his gaze on her turned dark for a moment, "Then tell me, what exactly is Mr. Qi's disease?"

“The prescriptions written in the Spring Examination Dafangmai Section are originally aimed at treating dementia and epilepsy. Mr. Qi naturally suffers from epilepsy..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Danqing covered her mouth with quick eyes and quick hands, her eyes flashing in horror.

can not say!

Behind Fengle Tower, there was a rumor in Rouge Alley that Qi Yutai was talking about delirium, but the Taishi Mansion never admitted it. They only said that Qi Yutai was frightened by the fire and lost his mind in shock.

Even though the people in the entire Shengjing City were talking privately, who in the imperial city dared to speak openly about the madness of the Grand Master's son?

Even if the third prince has men and horses, it is fashionable to take into account the occasion when discussing this matter. Especially now that Qi Yutai has recovered, this matter is even more out of the question!

Lu Zong broke away from Lin Danqing's hand, and Lin Danqing shook his head invisibly at her.

 She remained silent for a while.

 Everyone in the courtyard seemed to know that Lu Zhuo's words were taboo, so they didn't say anything for a while. Summer is coming to an end, and the scorching sun is becoming more and more fierce. A thin layer of sweat breaks out on everyone's forehead, and the expressions of those in the shadow under the eaves become darker and darker.

 “Medical Officer Lu.”

 After a long time, Cui Min spoke.

He had his hands behind his back, his gown swaying in the wind, and he raised his eyelids to take a look at Lu Huo.

“Let me ask you again, what disease does Mr. Qi suffer from?”

Lu Zong was silent for a moment, and his face gradually turned ugly.

He then flexed his sleeves and said, "Firstly, the spring test medicine prescription you mentioned is for treating the symptoms of madness and delirium. It can remove bad blood from the heart orifices and relieve wind, epilepsy and phlegm."

"The disease Mr. Qi suffered from was due to the smoke from the fire, which left him with chest numbness and insomnia. I treated him with Qi deficiency and blood stasis. I also used medicinal materials that soothed the liver and relieved depression, replenished Qi and raised Yang. Let me tell you. It has nothing to do with epilepsy."

 Lu Huan: "You..."

“Secondly, the medical officer of the Medical Officer’s Hospital is not allowed to read the medication orders issued by the Royal Pharmacy Court at will. As a medical officer, you check it privately, which is against the hospital’s regulations and you should be held accountable.”

Lu Tong: "Not to mention whether the official violated the rules or not, the medicine list overlaps with the prescription. How should the hospital envoy explain?"

Cui Min said calmly: "Baiji, flax, Danzhuli, Phellodendron cypress, Baishi, Xuejia... are all commonly used medicinal materials. There are other medicinal herbs on the medicine list. Medical officer Lu only mentioned these few, which would be biased. "

"What's more," he changed the subject, "that day I only asked Dr. Lu to test the prescription. Because the prescription was defective, I also rashly wrote down a new prescription for Dr. Lu during his consultation. You should be cautious when practicing medicine, for the sake of the medical hospital. As for the prescription mentioned by Medical Officer Lu... I had never heard of it that day."

Lu Zhen's eyes turned cold.

 The medical officers around her looked at her with different eyes.

 When Lu Zhen and Cui Min were talking about the prescription, no one else was present. However, one is an envoy with a long history and extensive medical skills in the Medical Officer's Hospital, and the other is a young and impulsive new medical officer who has never even entered the Imperial Medical Bureau to study medicine on his own. Everyone always prefers the former.

Cao Huai showed disdain and suddenly said: "Medical Officer Lu is really out of his mind to try to slander the hospital envoy based on random guesses. He doesn't even look at who the hospital envoy is. He was able to write "Cui's Pharmacology" back then, which is a great example of medical ethics. Your knowledge is far above yours."

 “You keep talking about stealing, you are too conceited!”

A flat -person doctor, who wrote a few flavors, thought that he was the first in the world, and said something about the wind and the wind. I want to climb up the ladder so much that I can accuse someone of stealing a prescription with an inexplicable medicine list. But I don’t know that all the prescriptions in the world are composed of commonly used medicinal materials. As long as they have all the prescriptions on them, wouldn’t it be possible to make any prescription?

  Simply ridiculous.

Lu Yan stood in the courtyard, his eyes filled with anger. He was accused alone, showing a bit of embarrassment that he didn't usually have.

Cao Huai took advantage of the situation and said: "Hospital envoy, Medical Officer Lu first looked at the medicine list of the Royal Pharmacy Hospital in private. His first crime was slandering you. This is the second crime. How can such unscrupulous people stay in the Medical Official Hospital?" To ruin your reputation? I hope the envoys will punish you severely as a warning to others—"

Lin Danqing: "No! The hospital envoy and Medical Officer Lu were also anxious for a while." She pulled Lu Zong's sleeve and lowered her voice and said: "Admit your mistake quickly."

Lu Zong had a cold face and refused to speak.

Cui Min looked down at the person in front of him. The woman stood under the dazzling sun. There was no tree to block the hot sky. Her face was slightly red. She didn't know whether it was from anger or the sun. She just looked at him with eyes filled with deep hatred and clenched her fist. The knuckles of the medication list turned white.

 Still too young to be calm.

He thought nonchalantly, straightened his back, which had been slightly bowed due to busyness recently, and spoke slowly and leisurely.

"Colleagues must be scrutinized. Medical Officer Cao is right. Medical Officer Lu misunderstood me as a minor matter without seeking confirmation. If this is used as a basis in the future, the atmosphere in the medical hospital will be in chaos."

"It is said that those who cherish the grass will waste the crops, and those who benefit thieves will harm the good people. Although I value the medical talent of Lu Medical Officer, I cannot blindly condone it. The rules are established and should be followed."

"Come here," he said calmly, "Off the roster of Medical Officer Lu. From now on, Medical Officer Lu will be suspended from duty for three months. After three months, the decision will be made again."

Lin Danqing was shocked: "The envoy of the hospital should be careful!"

Cao Huai was suddenly overjoyed: "The envoy is wise! We don't want to be associated with such a villain who is eager for quick success!"

The medical officers were talking quietly, but Lu Zhuo was the only one who stared at him stubbornly, like an upright statue under the sun, stiff and refusing to lower his head.

"Medical Officer Lu, do you have any objections?" Cui Min looked at her calmly.

In March, he did not say that he could return to the hospital after March, or stayed or stayed, only between Cui Yan's thoughts.

Lu Zhu stared at him for a long time, and after a moment, he slowly lowered his head and spoke patiently.

"No."

 …

 Everyone in the courtyard gradually dispersed, and the farce ended.

Lu Zhen returned to the dormitory, opened the door and walked in without saying a word.

The wooden cabinet doors were all opened, and she folded the clothes one by one and packed them into the unfolded baggage. Lin Danqing stepped into the door and hurriedly held her hand that was packing the luggage.

"Sister Lu," she said urgently, "don't leave in a hurry. This matter is not without change. You and I will ask the envoy again. Suspension is not fun."

Lu Zhen stopped for a moment, turned around and asked, "Do you think what I just said in the courtyard was a lie?"

"this…"

 Lin Danqing was speechless.

It would be too forced to convict Cui Min of plagiarism based on similar prescriptions. What's more, although there are rumors in Shengjing that Qi Yutai may have epilepsy, no one knows what the truth is.

How can epilepsy be so easily cured?

 Now Qi Yutai has confirmed the rumors to be false in Si Li Mansion.

Lin Danqing was puzzled. Lu Xu was not an impulsive person on weekdays. Why did he question Cui Min with a prescription just after hearing the news that Qi Yutai had recovered.

 At any rate, let’s gather more evidence before we talk!

She advised: "No matter what, it is impossible for you to use the prescription to prove plagiarism by the hospital." She lowered her voice, "Not to mention the medical hospital, even the Qi family would not admit that Qi Yutai suffered from epilepsy. If they knew If you say it in front of everyone, you may get into trouble later."

 Lu Zong was silent.

 “The matter has come to this, I have nothing to say.”

She looked like she was refusing to lower her head even if she fought to death. Lin Danqing was secretly worried: "Just go and be subdued. A good man will not suffer the immediate loss. The worst is to stay here and find evidence later."

"No need." Lu Yan interrupted her, lowered his head and continued to pack his bags on the bed, "You don't have to run around for me, go to the medical hospital, it's not worth losing your job for me."

"But…"

"It's nothing to worry about." She said, "It's the same when I go back to West Street to sit in the hospital. The salary of the medical hospital is not much more than that of the medical hospital."

She spoke firmly, and Lin Danqing could no longer persuade her, so he had to sit aside and watch her packing her luggage.

"I finally found someone I can talk to in this hospital. If you leave, there will be no one left to share the snacks at night."

She was disappointed, "Do you want me to share it with the rats that dug holes in the wall? Now that you are back, the thought of a person and a rat living in the same house is disgusting. I don't know if the rat poison is effective."

The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and there is no bright and dark gap in the courtyard house.

 Lu Zong glanced at the sun outside.

 The summer light shines on the green trees in front of the window, and the branches and leaves are thick green and dense. But in a few months, in autumn, the flowers will no longer bloom, leaving only desolation.

 She looked away.

"don’t worry."

Lu Zong stood up, walked to the wooden cabinet, put the four porcelain jars into the medical box one by one, and locked it again.

 “It’s just that the time of death is approaching.”
