When Imperial Doctor Xu heard this, he couldn’t even care about etiquette. He stepped forward and picked up the book, then turned and ran away.
Seeing him like this, Chu Yan was also taken aback: “Ran away again? What happened to these two people?”
He hurriedly followed and went to the consultation room, where he saw Imperial Doctor negotiating with the guard at the door
“I am an imperial doctor, why can’t I go in?” Imperial Doctor Xu was so anxious that he wanted to go inside as soon as possible to see how Bai Zhi will treat the princess. He really didn’t want to miss it at all. He also hated himself for not staying up all night. If he holds onto it, he wouldn’t be like this.
The guard shook his head: ” Imperial Doctor Xu, please don’t embarrass me. You have seen the maidservant beside the princess, she is not simple. She said that no one is allowed to enter the door. If I let you in now, don’t you think that maidservant will not eat us alive?”
Well, he was not afraid of that maidservant but was afraid of power behind Princess Qianfang. Now, the Chu Country was responsible for Princess Qianfang’s condition. So as long as she complains to the emperor, he will be miserable. Should he let such a thing happen?
Chu Yan stepped forward and said to the guard: “What happen? Why not let people in?”
Seeing that it was Prince Jin, the guard hurriedly saluted and then said: “Answering back his highness, Miss Jin said that Miss Bai is going to give the princess acupuncture treatment. No one is allowed to come inside.”
No need to mention Princess Qianfang, even if was an ordinary woman being given acupuncture treatment, they will also not accept it.
If the person administering the acupuncture treatment, most women will choose to endure pain instead of receiving medical treatment. This was one of the reasons why female doctors with advanced medical skills were so popular in the capital.
Many in-house women have diseases that require physical contact to be cured. So they would rather die than receive treatment from male doctors.
However, there were very few female doctors with such advanced medical skills. There were only one or two occasionally, and most of them can only treat simple diseases. What’s more, most of the family doesn’t focus on training their daughter to be doctors.
In the eyes of the world, a woman was good only if she married. No matter how smart she is, no matter how talented she is, it was useless.
Therefore, when a girl like Miss Bai Zhi appeared, people only found it refreshing, but they still highly disapproved of her practice. People still prepared young ladies to read books about women’s rules and not to go outside the house. And when she married to her husband’s home, it’s still better for her to stay in the back house all her life.
Chu Yan nodded: “If that’s the case, then we will just wait here.”
As soon as Chu Yan’s words fell, someone immediately brought a chair and a table, and also a hot tea.
Chu Yan glanced at Imperial Doctor Xu, who was anxious like a hot pot. He couldn’t help but say: “Come and sit down. Getting anxious is useless. If the people inside don’t want to open the door, you naturally can’t get in.”
Imperial Doctor Xu sighed ad walked towards Chu Yan’s side. The servant on the side immediately brought a chair and hot tea.
Chu Yan asked Imperial Doctor Xu: “I heard that you studied a medical book the whole night last night. Is it the book in your hand?”
Imperial Doctor Xu nodded and sighed again: “I was studying this book with Miss Bai last night. The medical skills mentioned in this book are too complicated. I can’t understand it, and I couldn’t stay up all night. Who would expect that Miss Bai will get it after staying up all night? I shouldn’t have been greedy for sleep. Otherwise, this will not happen. I feel uncomfortable, I feel like my heart is being scratched.”
