Song Ci could finally go out, even if it ant she had to be shaless about it.
"I’m just going out to buy so herbs, you really don’t need to follow ." Lin Qing looked sowhat helplessly at the elderly lady.
When people are sickly, they lie around like they’re on the brink of death, but when they’re full of energy, they beco like mischievous old children, very cheeky and stubborn.
"How could I not? The kidnapper gang hasn’t been caught yet. Ah Qing, you’ve got such a fine appearance, pure as jade, what if so bad people target you? I can’t bear to lose such a first-rate doctor like you." Song Ci said with a grin, "So, let protect you."
Lin Qing chuckled in exasperation, "You protect ? What about those guards then, what are you implying?"
She pointed to a line of guards from the Pri Minister’s Mansion.
Song Ci glanced at them and whispered, "They can’t follow you everywhere, can they? Like when you go to the restroom."
Lin Qing: "..."
This was getting ridiculous.
Forget it.
Lin Qing shook her head and headed towards the Thousand dicine Hall. Behind her, Song Ci was still muttering, "Don’t dismiss it; it takes less than a minute to abduct soone, especially delicate young ladies. Just a sack over the head, a lift on the shoulder, and they vanish."
Ah, save , she’s turning into a female Tang Monk.
Lin Qing and Song Ci entered the dicine hall one after the other.
At the ti, there weren’t many people in the dicine hall, just one attendant sorting herbs, and a doctor sitting in consultation.
It was Song Ci’s first ti in the dicine hall, and the mixed scent of herbs was invigorating. Against the wall stood wooden cabinets with many small drawers labeled and stuffed with dicinal ingredients.
Lin Qing was evidently a regular here, and as soon as she walked in, the attendant greeted her.
"Xiao Xian, do you know if the herbs I ordered have arrived?" Lin Qing asked with a smile.
The attendant called Xiao Xian replied, "They’ve arrived already, hold on, I’ll get them for you."
Lin Qing nodded, and Song Ci ca over, saying, "Looks like you’re already well-acquainted here."
"The herbs here are quite affordable, and many ordinary folks co here too." aning, it was a genuine traditional dicine hall.
Song Ci understood.
Bang.
The two of them were startled and looked over to the doctor in consultation.
The elderly doctor looked sowhat pale at the burly man in front of him, yet tried to maintain his composure, saying, "Why are you like this? I kindly told you to bring your child for a proper pulse diagnosis before prescribing dicine. Otherwise, if I prescribe randomly and give the wrong dosage, and it harms the child, wouldn’t that give you grounds to extort ?"
"I said the child hit his head and got a fever, he’s about five years old. Can’t you understand plain speech? Just prescribe, and if he dies, I won’t bla you."
"You’re being utterly unreasonable."
"Will you prescribe or not?"
Song Ci and Lin Qing exchanged a glance, this guy seed fishy.
Lin Qing stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Cheng, what’s going on?"
Doctor Cheng, upon seeing her, recounted the situation, "At our Thousand dicine Hall, we’ve always believed in prescribing the right dicine after examining the symptoms. That’s how we’re responsible to patients, but he thinks I’m just making things difficult."
Lin Qing gave the burly man a look and gently said, "Brother, Doctor Cheng is right, you really should bring your son over. Matching the dicine to the disease is the proper way."
The man’s eyes shifted evasively, "Your dicine hall is just troubleso, I won’t buy dicine from you anymore. Is there no other dicine hall in the entire capital?"
He stord off in a rage, glancing at Song Ci as he passed.
Song Ci whispered sothing to Nanny, who was montarily taken aback before heading out.
