Gu Qingue, on the other hand, was smiling as she greeted everyone present. “My fellow colleagues need not regard me as an outsider. I came here today to say hello to everyone. In the future, everyone will be people of the imperial hospital and should help each other.”
Seeing that Gu Qingxue was far easier to get along with than the rumors had said, the Imperial physicians’ anxious hearts finally settled down. Without exception, they all cupped their hands at Gu Qingxue and stepped forward to greet her.
“Hello, Lord Gu. I’ve long heard of Lord Gu’s great reputation. Seeing you today, Lord Gu is indeed extraordinary.” A young man quickly walked up to them and continued to size Gu Qingxue up as he spoke.
“I’ve wanted to discuss this with Doctor Gu before, but Doctor Gu has to take care of His Majesty and Her Majesty, so I really can’t find the time. Today, we’ve finally found an opportunity, so I hope that Lord Gu can give us more advice. Come, Lord Gu, please come in. Let’s sit down, have a cup of tea, and have a chat.” On this side, as an elderly Imperial physician spoke, he raised his hand and stroked his mustache.
Gu Qingxue’s smile was all over her face, and she looked like she was easy to get along with. She smiled as she walked toward the back hall, surrounded by the imperial physicians.
Imperial Physician Qin looked at Gu Qingxue, who was like the moon surrounded by stars, and an unconcealable anger rose in his eyes.
Under such circumstances, how could Imperial physician Qin give up?
He looked at the people in front of him who were trying to curry favor with him, and for a moment, he was envious and jealous. He only hoped that the person everyone was fawning over was him and not Gu Qingxue!
If it was not for Gu Qingxue’s insistence on taking the credit for curing the plague in the Tie Family Village, he would be the one to make a meteoric rise, not Gu Qingxue!
Imperial Physician Qin’s gaze became even more resentful when he thought about how his chance to become the emperor’s favorite had been snatched away. His eyes landed on Gu Qingxue unwillingly.
Whenever he saw Gu Qingxue, he would think of Gu Ye.
Back then, Gu Ye was just like Gu Qingxue. He was highly skilled in medicine and was sought after by everyone.
As expected, this father and daughter pair were equally annoying!
Just as Imperial Physician Qin’s eyes glowed with ferocity as he glared at Gu Qingxue, Gu Qingxue seemed to have responded. She stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Imperial Physician Qin.
At this moment, Imperial Physician Qin and Gu Qingxue’s eyes met. Their hearts could not help but tighten, and even their breathing became lighter.
Gu Qingxue took in Imperial Physician Qin’s wavering expression. With a faint smile, she took the initiative to invite him. “Imperial Physician Qin, are you not going to follow us for tea?”
Imperial Physician Qin stared at Gu Qingxue as if he had seen a ghost. He could not figure out what this woman was up to.
However, Imperial Physician Qin could not reveal the darkness in his heart in front of his colleagues. He smiled kindly, shook his head, and declined politely, “Many thanks for Doctor Gu’s invitation, but I’m going to deliver the medicine to the noble consort next, so I need to personally watch the fire to brew the medicine. Otherwise, I can’t afford to be punished by the noble consort.”
A cold glint flashed across Gu Qingxue’s clear eyes, but she sighed with regret. “That’s really a pity. Imperial Physician Qin, please go ahead and do your work.
We will meet again another day.”
Imperial Physician Qin smiled and nodded, then watched Gu Qingxue leave.
Lilt Zhuozi looked at Gu Qingxue’s smile and could not help but take a few more glances. “Imperial Physician Qin, this Doctor Gu doesn’t seem to be as crafty as the rumors say, right? I think she’s very gentle..”
