Imperial Physician Qin’s face fell and he rudely kicked Lil’ Zhuozi’s b.u.t.t, causing him to fall to the ground, “Cut the c.r.a.p. Hurry up and prepare. If the n.o.ble consort’s medicine is delayed, you won’t be able take the consequences.”

Lill Zhuozi quickly got up from the ground and hurried to prepare the medicine.

On the other side, Gu Qingxue and the other Imperial physicians came to the back hall and chatted with them. They quickly became friendly.

What the imperial physicians were most interested in was the plague in Tie Family Village. They were all curious as to how Gu Qingxue had been able to determine so quickly that the villagers had the plague, and how she had managed to control and cure the plague so quickly in such a short time.

Gu Qingxue did not hold anything back. She told them the entire story.

Naturally, she concealed some information when she spoke. She did not tell him about the research inst.i.tute. She just told them the same thing she had told Rong Xiaotian. She only said that her medical skills were all taught by her master.

Not only that, but her master had also left her many other medicinal herbs and prescriptions, all of which were very rare and good.

When the imperial physicians heard Gu Qingxue’s words, their eyes were filled with envy.

The young Imperial Physician Gao could not help but praise, “As expected, Doctor Gu is a person blessed by the heavens. If it was an ordinary person, they would not have such good luck as Doctor Gu.”

The older Imperial Physician Jiang did not agree. He stroked his beard and sighed, “You can’t say that. Doctor Gu’s teacher was indeed an extraordinary person. However, Imperial Physician Gu’s talent was also an indispensable part. After all, one starts learning medicine from a young age, and it’s rare to see someone as talented as Doctor Gu.”

“I was born into a family of doctors, so I’ve been influenced by them. I know a little about it, and I’ve laid the foundation for my future learning from my master. That’s right, my father was once on duty in the imperial hospital.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she lifted her teacup and took a sip of tea before smiling.

Everyone was very interested in what Gu Qingxue had to say. Someone asked curiously, “Oh? How could there be such a coincidence? I wonder what’s the name of Lady Gut s father? They might have been our colleagues.”

It could be seen that everyone was only asking out of curiosity, but Gu Qingxue was still very serious. She answered their question, “My father’s name is Gu Ye. Twenty years ago, he was the chief of the imperial hospital.”

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent without exception. No one spoke again.

Gu Qingxue was the only one who looked calm. She turned to the Imperial physicians and asked with a smile, “Why aren’t you guys talking? My father did commit a crime and was executed, but the emperor has shown mercy and said that my father’s matter would not involve the other members of the family. Otherwise, I would not have had the opportunity to enter the court as an official.”

Gu Ye had caused the death of people in the palace at that time. Logically speaking, such a major crime should have implicated the main family.

However, at that time, the emperor did not implicate the other members of the Gu family for the sake of the Qi family’s outstanding military achievements, which prevented Gu Qingxue from becoming the daughter of a sinner.

However, it was still a taboo to say such things out loud, and it was rare to see someone as calm as Gu Qingxue..
