Chapter 107: Where did so many Eunuch Peis come from

~9 min read 1,623 words

When Lin Jiaojiao returned to Qingju Pavilion, it was already the time of the monkey (3-5 PM). Because it was already autumn, the sun began to slant west, and the golden sunlight shone on the roofs of the Huang Gong, making everywhere look magnificent and brilliant.

But Lin Jiaojiao only felt that this magnificent and brilliant Huang Gong was not the residence she wanted!

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qingdai sweeping fallen leaves in the courtyard.

Qingdai put down the broom and bowed to her, "Lin Guniang, you are finally back. Just now, someone from Ningfei Niangniang's side came, saying that Ningfei Niangniang twisted her foot and wanted to ask you to go over and help take a look. It was a coincidence that you weren't in Qingju Pavilion, so I temporarily turned them away for you."

"Ningfei Niangniang twisted her foot?" Lin Jiaojiao's eyes held a few more complex and subtle expressions, "No wonder I only saw Imperial Yu Fei at Xi Pin Niangniang's place just now..."

"Imperial Yu Fei went to see Xi Pin Niangniang?" Qingdai couldn't hide the curiosity and gossip in her eyes, "What did she go there for? By the way, how is Xi Pin Niangniang? How is her fetus?"

"She mistakenly consumed safflower, so she spotted, but the fetus is fine. She just needs to rest for a while and she will get better." Lin Jiaojiao answered, then walked into the room, took out paper and pen, and wrote down a prescription, "Qingdai, go and help me get this prescription. In a while, our Qingju Pavilion is going to have a patient."

"Ah? Where is the patient from?" Qingdai took the prescription with an expression of disbelief, "I hope it's not someone like Eunuch Pei!"

At the mention of that cheap ex-husband, a trace of displeasure flashed in Lin Jiaojiao's eyes, "Where did so many Eunuch Peis come from? He already went back to live his peaceful life long ago!"

"I am actually curious, what did you say to him in his ear that day that he listened so obediently," Qingdai was even more curious, "I think he is a man of deep affection. You wouldn't still be missing him, would you?"

"Go, go, go! Who is missing him!" Lin Jiaojiao waved her hand impatiently, "I just told him that a person in this world doesn't live for anything else, but must consider their children. He has his children, so he can't abandon them for the sake of this little bit of personal affection!"

"He actually listened?" Qingdai was amazed, "That's really strange. Why didn't he consider his own children before?"

"That's because—" Lin Jiaojiao had only said half of it when she suddenly thought that the fact that Yang Ge'er in the Pei Mansion was her biological child should be known by as few people as possible!

She immediately changed the subject and pointed to the prescription to ask Qingdai, "You take a look. I told you that your learning is not refined! Look at you, you can't even read a prescription. Does this prescription look like it's for Eunuch Pei with a toothache?"

"Ah?" Qingdai was stunned for a moment and immediately moved her eyes to the prescription in her hand, "Rhubarb, Sappanwood..."

The more she looked, the more her face turned into a bitter melon. It looked familiar, but when she thought about it carefully, those words seemed to be dancing and twisting in her mind. No matter how she recalled, she couldn't remember their efficacy!

In the end, she could only scratch her head uneasily, "I have some impression of these medicines, but also..."

When Lin Jiaojiao heard this, she was so angry that she knocked on her head with her knuckles, "You are truly unteachable! You don't even memorize the prescriptions! And you still want to follow me out to open a medical clinic! If a patient isn't sick, you'll treat them until they have an illness!"

While she was saying this, she pushed Qingdai toward the courtyard, "I think you have no talent for medicine at all! You are simply the worst of the worst students! Go and get the medicine quickly. If you don't know what these medicines do, go and ask the pharmacist yourself!"

Qingdai knew her own learning was not refined, so she didn't dare to make a sound after being scolded. She could only take the prescription and walk out of Qingju Pavilion, hurrying toward the Imperial Pharmacy.

Lin Jiaojiao stood in the courtyard, finally able to take a breath, but suddenly, a small stone hit her back!

She touched her waist and back where the stone had hit, feeling pain, and looked around alertly, "Who is it!"

But there was no one else in the courtyard. However, this shout of hers attracted the guards guarding the door of Qingju Pavilion, "Lin Guniang, what's wrong?"

At this time, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a note tied to the fallen stone. It must be someone secretly looking for her, which was why they used a stone to hit her back!

"Nothing, nothing." Lin Jiaojiao hurriedly dismissed the guards, pointing messily at her own foot, "I just mentioned my foot and cried out in pain, that's all."

Seeing that she was indeed fine, the guards returned to guard the two sides of the main gate.

Seeing the guards guarding outside the door, Lin Jiaojiao quietly picked up the stone and walked into the room before opening the note on it, "My Sixth Master wants to meet you at the palace gate. He wants to ask you for a prescription that will cure the illness. The Sixth Master has promised a thousand gold for a good prescription."

It's Qin Liuye! Lin Jiaojiao put away the note. Oh my! This clue came to her door on its own!

At the same time, she touched the jade pendant Qin Yuan gave her, and a cunning smile appeared at the corners of her mouth: Now she has a way to refuse Qin Yuan!

She picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription. After carefully blowing the ink dry, she walked out of Qingju Pavilion with the prescription.

The two guards exchanged a look and hurriedly followed her!

Lin Jiaojiao walked on the palace path, heading straight toward the palace gate!

The guard with the square face took a big step and caught up to her in two or three steps, blocking her way: "Lin Guniang, the Emperor has ordered that you cannot leave the palace!"

"I am not leaving the palace," Lin Jiaojiao said, her tone full of indifference, "I am living well in the palace, and I have your protection. Why would I leave the palace? It's just that a noble person outside the palace is sick, and they asked me to write a prescription. I'm just going to the palace gate to hand the prescription to them!"

She took out the prescription and showed it to the guard. The guard believed her and made way, after all, it wasn't long ago that he had received Lin Jiaojiao's favor and solved his athlete's foot problem.

Lin Jiaojiao covered her mouth and giggled, and soon walked to the palace gate, where she saw two figures, one fat and one short, standing there, pacing back and forth anxiously.

As soon as the two saw her coming, Qin Liuye's knees went soft and he knelt on the ground, "Divine Physician, you are finally here! Save me quickly!"

"Oh? Don't you already have an Imperial Physician to treat you?" Lin Jiaojiao stopped her steps and looked Qin Liuye up and down: he had gained a few more pounds, his face had a few more pieces of greasy fat, but the area under his eyes was dark, his complexion was gloomy, his forehead was black, and he looked weaker and weaker!

"That Imperial Physician Jia's medical skills are not good! His surname is Jia (fake), and his medical skills are also fake!" Qin Liuye wailed, "After I took the prescription he opened, although I felt a wind blowing in my crotch at the time, afterward I felt as if my soul had been drained!"

"After taking the medicine for these few days, I feel more and more that something is wrong. Even when I walk, I feel my steps are floating and I am swaying!"

"Please, save me, Divine Physician. I will kneel and kowtow to you! Please save me!" Qin Liuye kowtowed "thud, thud, thud" violently!

He startled the guards at the gate and the guards behind Lin Jiaojiao: she was the first person who could make Qin Liuye kneel and kowtow!

Qin Liuye was so anxious he almost wanted to hug her thigh. Lin Jiaojiao dodged two steps away in disgust, and the square-faced guard behind her stepped forward to protect her!

"I will give you ten thousand taels of silver notes for the prescription now," Qin Liuye saw this and thought Lin Jiaojiao wanted money, so he hurriedly took out a stack of silver notes from his bosom, "I will give you the silver notes. When I get better, I will immediately ask someone to offer gold!"

"As for the prescription, I have written it..." Lin Jiaojiao shook the prescription in front of Qin Liuye, making him reach out to grab it, but she pulled the prescription back!

"Your illness cannot be cured with one prescription. You need to open seven prescriptions and drink them for half a year to cure the root cause. I want these silver notes, and I also want the gold, but you still need to promise me one thing before I can give you this first prescription." ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
