Just like other people who have no food to support in this hospital and sell themselves as apprentices, they perform the duties of an ordinary apprentice.

At 4 a.m., the board was open.

Clean the medicine hall and turn over the warehouse.

Fight wits and courage with the patient's family members who make trouble and scold.

In the end, you have to use rough skin and thick flesh to resist each other's punches and kicks, hoping to extinguish each other's anger in this way.

Trembling around the master, he secretly went deep into the deep house and courtyard, and treated diseases that cannot be told to outsiders in the dark.

Once upon a time, the violent factors in Gu Zheng's blood burst out several times, but it was for the future of the client... The students affected by it were patient.

Compared with the course of these three years, the previous wind, frost, snow and rain are nothing.

Because these three years are not only rich in knowledge, but also let Gu Zheng really experience the rough life of the lowest people in a strange period.

It taught him a very philosophical way about the survival of doctors.

Looking at the proud master who once again healed a high-ranking man and got rich medical treatment money.

Gu Zheng was very grateful for the old man who abandoned his family view and threw olive branches at him.

"Shifu, Shifu, walk slowly. I'll help you carry the medical box and let you relax."

"What do you want, boy? Are you going to pit your master's good things again?"

"Didn't I give you twenty pieces of money for today's silver reward? Don't be greedy. Don't learn from those worthless people to eat wine and play with women!"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng was a little unconvinced and added, "but master, you haven't given me a penny in the past three years."

"I don't even have a salary, let alone the promised silver reward every time. Mao didn't see it!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhicai just wanted to blow his beard and glare at Gu Zheng. He saw that in front of the Xu family medical school, which could see the gate from a distance, there were two people dressed in ordinary clothes but looking around, as if they were waiting for their arrival.

Seeing this, Xu Zhicai and Gu Zheng stopped teasing the poor in an instant.

They silently closed their mouths and walked slowly towards the back door of the medical school.

Who knows, the same people in this state also appeared at the back door. Seeing this, the worries of Xu Zhicai and his disciples were really put in front of him.

I can't escape this time.

When Xu Zhicai, who didn't know what he was going to face, tried to push the door, the man lying on the side of the door was bright in front of him and met him in the direction of Xu Zhicai.

"But doctor Xu?"

"It's the old man."

"Your Majesty has an order. Follow me!"

Hearing Xu Zhicai here, he sighed and gently stuffed the ingot of gold just got in his sleeve into the other party's hand: "I don't know this official, do you know your Majesty's intention this time?"

Under Xu Zhicai's actions, the man opposite was not as greedy as before. On the contrary, he returned the ingot of gold directly to Xu Zhicai's hand, shook his head gently, but there was a lot of warning in his eyes.

"Dr. Xu laughed. How can you know your Majesty's mind? I hope Dr. Xu won't be difficult. When you arrive in the palace, the doctor will naturally know your Majesty's intention."

It seems that this time it will be a secret event. The more it is, the more worried Xu Zhicai issued an order to Gu Zheng: "Gu boy, give me the medicine box and take care of my home!"

"No!" hearing this, Gu Zheng immediately denied master's decision: "master, I'll go with you. After all, you know who my old master is."

The rest, through their three-year friendship between teachers and disciples, needless to say.

That is, if there is a good or bad disciple, I can help you plead with your majesty.

Seeing Gu Zheng's firm eyes, Xu Zhicai knew that no matter how much nonsense he said, it was useless.

And he also knows that his Majesty's purpose in entering the palace today is him, not his apprentice.

Therefore, the old man with a white beard rarely loosened his hand when he had grasped the medicine box.

He patted Gu Zheng twice on his shoulder and said, "let's go!"

These two people, like living treasures, walked quietly.

The setting sun will pull the figure of two people for a long, long time.

The palace was shining brightly in the evening, but it could not warm Gu Zheng's increasingly cold heart.

Because since he followed master to this palace community he was not familiar with, he was separated from master.

He was taken to this deserted side hall.

On the other side of the hall, there are two figures of master and his majesty.

With the passage of time, waiting Gu Zheng, the ominous premonition is strengthening bit by bit.

In the main hall on one side, a storm is about to take place.

"Xu Zhicai, let me ask you again, Xiao Baorong's Taihe palace, are you going or not?"

Xu Zhicai, who was kneeling on the ground, bent his body very low. Xiao Yan, who was condescending, couldn't see the real expression of the old man at all.

But the other party's body, which was bent but showed a strong posture, made a bold and defiant voice: "Your Majesty, there are thousands of doctors in the world. Why do you have to choose me, an unknown bad old man?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan, the emperor of Nanliang, who stood at the top, smiled: "Dr. Xu is really modest. If you are also a quack, how many people can I call a real doctor in Nanliang?"

"If you are not a famous doctor, why didn't the emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty and the current king of Baling let the imperial doctor close to me except for your diagnosis and treatment?"

"What do you say? Dr. Xu?"

Hearing Xu Zhicai here, his body trembled slightly at the bottom, as if he had accepted his destiny and returned: "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of disease it is if King baling is really ill. Xiao Min hasn't even seen the disease, how can he be diagnosed and treated?"

Seeing that Xu Zhicai was no longer slippery, Xiao Yancai continued word by word: "if I say that no matter what disease the king of Baling has, I only need one result. I don't know Dr. Xu, can you do it?"

Hearing this, needless to say, Xu Zhicai understood.

The relationship between King baling and his majesty has reached a state of knowing.

At this time, your majesty no longer needs the useless baling king who has been drained of potential value.

It may be because of his former status as a famous imperial doctor in the Southern Qi Dynasty, the baling King noticed something and no longer imported any medicine at will.

And the current emperor, who is a little patient, doesn't want to make things too ugly, so he thought of the doctor-patient means of killing people with a knife.

It's just that your majesty is wrong. At the beginning, he decided to go away and never let his hands be full of the blood of innocent people. Under the current situation, he, an ignorant old man, is bound to disappoint his majesty today.

Xu Zhicai, lying on his Highness's cold slate, seemed to think back many years ago.

Xiao Yu, an old friend who has given him countless help, is a rare emperor who cares about the people's livelihood and the suffering of the people at the bottom.

This man will not laugh at his man because of his once ambition. His inability to deal with the illness and death of this wise emperor is still surrounded in his heart for a long time.

The generous emperor in front of his sickbed many years ago did not complain about Xu Zhicai's incompetence even at the moment before his death.

For all this, he can't forget it all his life.

And the descendants of the family who had received great kindness, the strange emperor in front of him, was forcing him to solve it himself?

Oh, how ironic.

Xu Zhicai, who turned his mind, finally made a decision about his life. He slowly straightened up from the floor.

For the first time, he gave up the way of life that a high-ranking person should fear, stared at the High Emperor with the momentum of breaking the boat, and said the following words word by word: "Your Majesty, I need my medicine box."

Xiao Yan, who consciously understood this sentence, finally turned his uncertain face just now, with a rare smile, and agreed to Xu Zhicai: "it's natural. No matter what doctor Xu needs, I can prepare for it."

"After all, King baling is also the pillar of the country. His illness naturally involves the affairs of the imperial court and the country."

"Just tell me what you need. I won't treat doctor Xu and King baling badly."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was finally normal, he slowly leaned over to the ground and quietly replied: "here!"

When he got up, he stopped talking and waited quietly for his Majesty's next arrangement.

Sure enough, but in a moment, Xu Zhicai was taken to the side hall by the waiter who entered from the side door. I'm afraid Gu Zheng was worried here. Gu Zheng had already been waiting for it, anxiously looking forward to the news from the outside.

Gu Zheng didn't breathe until he saw the figure of master who came late at the gate.

It doesn't matter. It seems that the matter of entering the Palace this time is not as dangerous as he guessed.

The indifferent expression on Xu Zhicai's face also confirmed Gu Zheng's guess from the side.

When he saw his closing disciple waiting helplessly here at this time, he smiled happily.

"Ah, you are still there. I thought you would be sent out of the palace by your majesty."

"I think you still have a certain position in the heart of your majesty."

"That's right. Pour me a cup of tea first, nothing else."

"You and I have been in love for many years. There are not many times we can drink the tea soup you cooked by yourself."

"Take advantage of your Majesty's generosity, and use his good tea to moisten your master's mouth."

"Here!"

Gu Zheng didn't doubt others. He turned and thought about the place where the tea sets were placed on one side. He didn't forget to order the only waiter in the side hall to fetch some hot water outside the hall.
