457 Fox’s Stench

“Imperial Physician Qin, Miss Su, I’m really sorry.”

Zhou Pingan said apologetically and gently. She knew that the smell on her body was strong and would make people uncomfortable, but she couldn’t not apply the ointment. If she didn’t apply the ointment, she wouldn’t even have the courage to come out and meet people.

Only by applying the ointment could she force herself to tell herself that it was fine.

Imperial Physician Qin waved his hand. “Princess, this is Miss Su I mentioned before. She is the disciple of Divine Physician Wu from Minggu.”

Su Xiaolu smiled politely at Zhou Pingan. “Greetings, Princess Pingan.”

“Miss Su, please come in.”

Zhou Pingan did not underestimate her at all and respectfully invited Su Xiaolu in.

Even though Su Xiaolu was still a little girl, she seemed to have grabbed onto a straw to clutch at.

She deliberately stayed away from Su Xiaolu and Imperial Physician Qin to make them feel better.

Before they reached the main room, Su Xiaolu spoke to Zhou Pingan. She said seriously, “Princess, please go down and wash up first. Don’t apply any fragrant ointment or sachet so that I can examine you.”

“My pulse—”

Zhou Pingan was stunned.

Su Xiaolu smiled. “I want to take your pulse too, but I want to take a closer look.”

Zhou Pingan was in a difficult position.

Su Xiaolu added, “Princess, I’m a doctor and you’re my patient. You don’t have to worry too much about me.”

Su Xiaolu knew that it would be difficult for Zhou Pingan to accept it calmly. She could only make her att.i.tude very serious and make Zhou Pingan believe everything she said.

“Princess, listen to the doctor.”

Qin Shoucheng also suggested strictly. He called Su Xiaolu a doctor and not Miss Su.

Zhou Pingan pursed his lips. After some hesitation and struggle, he said to Su Xiaolu, “Doctor Su, please wait a moment.”

Ever since Su Xiaolu entered the residence, she had not missed any emotions on Su Xiaolu’s face. Su Xiaolu’s seriousness made her feel her seriousness as a doctor, so after thinking about it, Zhou Pingan chose to believe her.

Zhou Pingan left. A servant attended to Su Xiaolu and Qin Shoucheng.

After the servants made the tea, they went outside to wait.

Qin Shoucheng said to Su Xiaolu, “Miss Su, is your Master alright? Speaking of which, I’m about the same age as him. When I was middle-aged, we were acquaintances. It’s been many years since we last met.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Master is very good. He travels everywhere. I don’t know his whereabouts.”

Qin Shoucheng smiled. “He’s as temperamental as a monkey. I don’t think he’s changed. Miss, you look quiet. It’s hard to believe that you two are master and disciple.”

Su Xiaolu smiled.

At this moment, a delicate voice came from outside. “Oh, I heard that the princess invited Imperial Physician Qin to the residence. I specially came to ask for a pulse. Why are you stopping me? If you disturb the child in my stomach, I won’t let you off.”

“Aunt w.a.n.g, please calm down. It’s just that the princess has instructed that no one is to disturb her,” the maidservant explained in a low voice.

“Get lost. I’m pregnant with the son of the county mayor. Are you blind? I’ll ask the imperial physician to take my pulse. It won’t delay the princess’s important matter.”

Aunt w.a.n.g pushed the maidservant in her way away arrogantly and walked into the main room with her hands on her waist.

Qin Shoucheng and Su Xiaolu frowned slightly.

Imperial Physician Qin sighed softly. ‘Concubines tend to serve demons. How hateful.’

However, at the end of the day, this was Princess Pingan’s family. Logically speaking, she was of higher status. Even if she had a bad illness, she was still a princess.

Her husband relied on her power. As long as she was unwilling, it was impossible for the county mayor to climb over the princess’s head and lord over her. However, not only did he neglect Princess Pingan, but he would also dote on his concubine and destroy the princess’s prestige.

In the end, one was willing to hit and the other was willing to suffer. Outsiders could only sigh.

Aunt w.a.n.g came in with her hands on her stomach. Her face was rosy. Because she was pregnant, her body was l.u.s.trous. Perhaps because she could eat and sleep, she looked very good.

“Greetings, Imperial Physician Qin. When I heard that you were here, I hurried over and wanted to ask you to check if my child is healthy.”

Aunt w.a.n.g bowed and said softly.

Qin Shoucheng’s expression was calm as he said with a fake smile, “I’m here at the request of the princess to take her pulse. You’re just a concubine in the princess’s residence. If I take your pulse, how can I face her? Your status is lowly and not as n.o.ble as the princess. Without the princess’s request, I won’t take your pulse. Even if the princess asks me to, as the Elder of the Imperial Hospital, I won’t personally take action against a lowly concubine like you.”

Qin Shoucheng’s words were reasonable and well-founded. He was very polite and had a humble smile on his face. He didn’t seem to be mocking her on purpose. Instead, he looked like an old-fashioned old man who spoke based on the truth. However, every word he said was heartbreaking.

The smile on Aunt w.a.n.g’s face froze. Her expression was even uglier than crying. It was obvious that she had suffered a huge blow. For a moment, she was speechless and did not refute.

The maidservants silently lowered their heads.

Aunt w.a.n.g forgot her ident.i.ty and Imperial Physician Qin reminded her.

No matter how much she flaunted her power, it could not hide her lowly status.

“I’ve overstepped my boundaries. I’ll take my leave.”

The surging sense of humiliation made Aunt w.a.n.g unable to stay any longer.

She had come to give Zhou Pingan a hard time. The county mayor would barely share a room with the princess three times a year. The princess had been married for many years before she got pregnant with a daughter. She was a concubine, but she had already given birth to several children for the county mayor. She was very doted on and even wanted to replace the position of the princess as the official wife.

In the residence, Zhou Pingan could only endure her arrogance.

However, Imperial Physician Qin had beaten her up without any mercy.

She came arrogantly and left in shame.

After she left, the princess’ maidservants laughed out loud. Clearly, what Imperial Physician Qin did made them feel very happy.

Qin Shoucheng looked at Su Xiaolu and suddenly asked with interest, “Miss Su, what do you think of what happened just now?”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Such a thing won’t happen to me because I’ll get rid of them all before this. If I don’t get rid of them, I promise that my Master will get rid of me first.”

This was the truth. If she let the man and his concubine make her suffer like this, with Old Wu’s temper, he would definitely kill her and replace her with a new disciple.

Of course, she wouldn’t let that happen. She knew it was normal for men in ancient times to have three wives and four concubines, but her man had to be faithful. If she couldn’t find such a man, she’d rather be alone until she died.

If the man had a change of heart, she would not tolerate it. She would just kick him away. Without feelings, he only pursued physical pleasure. Why should she let the dirty one dirty her?

“Hahaha, not bad, not bad. That’s how it should be.”

Qin Shoucheng laughed. Su Xiaolu looked quiet, but her temper was not quiet at all.

“Imperial Physician Qin, how many concubines do you have?” Su Xiaolu suddenly asked.
