Chapter 797 Yes, I was the one who prescribed medicine for Concubine Ming!
The person next to him turned around, a trace of disdain on his face. "You are a person who got in through the backdoor, what qualifications do you have to talk about Prince Li and Princess Li? Don't think that you can fly to the top just because you have Zhang Yiling to protect you!"
"That's right! We in the Imperial Hospital look at strength, not connections!"
After all, this is about medical skills and the health of the royal family. People without ability cannot stay in this Imperial Hospital!
Cheng Qi glanced at them coldly. These people clearly knew that his strength was superior to theirs, but they just wouldn't admit it! They were clearly jealous of his transformation from a small pharmacist to a high-ranking medical director, and they were just unwilling to accept it!
Shu He noticed Cheng Qi and saw that he was being ostracized. She remained calm and walked towards him.
"Oh my God, the princess is coming towards us!" Someone saw this and shouted excitedly.
Cheng Qi turned around and saw that she had indeed come, and he became very excited.
However, he didn't dare to go forward, fearing that she was not looking for him and that he would be misunderstood as someone trying to curry favor with the powerful.
After all, he has now been rumored to be a person who used backdoors. If he makes any more jokes, then his stigma of "using crooked means" will never be washed away.
Therefore, he could only lower his head.
Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, Shu He stopped in front of Cheng Qi and said, "Doctor Cheng, long time no see. Don't you recognize me?"
It was not until Shu He called him that Cheng Qi could no longer suppress the surprise in his heart and looked up at her.
She still referred to herself as "I" to him, and did not use the words "this princess". Does this mean that she still treated him the same as before, and did not look down on him just because she became a princess?
"Doctor Cheng? How could the princess know Cheng Qi?" The person who had previously ridiculed Cheng Qi spoke in disbelief.
"I, Cheng Qi, greet the princess!" Cheng Qi came to his senses and bowed quickly.
After hearing this, those who had previously ridiculed Cheng Qi all changed their expressions.
He was actually looking for Cheng Qi!
Shu He smiled faintly, "Just now, Doctor Cheng acted like he didn't see me. I thought he didn't remember me!"
Cheng Qi quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you're joking. How could I not remember you? It's just that your Majesty is of noble status and seems to be busy with important matters, so I didn't dare to approach you for fear of delaying your business."
"That's good. I thought Doctor Cheng had a bad memory." Shu He said with a bit of a joking tone, "Doctor Cheng is now a medical director. It's okay if you don't remember me. Just don't forget the medical skills and medicinal knowledge I taught you. After all, it's the basis of your life, so you have to keep it in mind at all times!"
It is not an easy place to get along in the Imperial Hospital. One can easily lose his life. Only if he has the ability can he be valued by the people above and not be used as cannon fodder.
Today, she came to meet a cannon fodder.
Cheng Qi bowed again and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Even if I forget where I came from, I will never forget the grace of your teachings!"
As for that knowledge, he will never forget it.
Shu He nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.
She raised her hand to help him up and said calmly, "We are old friends. There is no need to be so polite when we meet next time."
"I heard that the Fourth Prince's concubine's condition has improved significantly. Is it all thanks to you?"
Cheng Qi quickly said, "It's all thanks to the princess's guidance."
"I just gave you a few pointers. The fact that you were able to understand and comprehend what I said shows that you are capable. Doctor Cheng, there's no need to underestimate yourself."
Cheng Qi's eyes were slightly red. Although he didn't say anything, the gratitude in his heart was already incomparable.
He knew that her actions were clearly to help him out and to clear his name. She wanted others to know that he, too, was a disciple of a famous master and had real power in his hands.
At this time, Zhang Qiong walked out quickly from the inner room and bowed deeply to Shu He. "The princess came in person, and I failed to greet her. I am truly guilty, guilty!"
After meeting Zhang Qiong, Shu He explained the purpose of his visit.
"Old Chief Physician Sumu?" Zhang Qiong knew the man. He was over fifty, yet he was still a Chief Physician. Some said he simply didn't want to move up the career ladder, wanting to be a humble figure in the Imperial Hospital to support his family.
"Princess, why are you looking for him? He has a strange temper, and I'm afraid he might offend you."
Shu He didn't care and said, "I have something to ask him. Just take me to see him."
Seeing that her purpose was clear, Zhang Qiong thought she had something important to tell her, so she immediately took her to the medicine storage.
Before leaving, Shu He glanced at Cheng Qi and said, "Doctor Cheng, come with us."
She had something else she wanted to ask him.
After the three of them left, the Imperial Hospital was in an uproar, and most of the discussions were about Cheng Qi.
"So that Doctor Cheng was actually the princess' apprentice! No wonder he's so beloved by Doctor Zhang!"
"From what the princess said, it seems that the princess and Dr. Cheng are old acquaintances! Dr. Cheng is so lucky!"
"Oh my God, why don't I have such an opportunity?"
……
After hearing these words, Shu He felt helpless and ridiculous.
The people who had mocked and ridiculed Cheng Qi just a second ago immediately changed their attitude after learning that she and Cheng Qi were old friends. It was as if everyone had become reasonable in an instant...
The human heart is indeed the most difficult thing to understand.
Yaozang is the place where the Imperial Medical Service manages the storage and preservation of medicinal materials, and is an important storage area of the Imperial Medical Service.
Here, various medicinal materials must be classified and stored, and different storage methods will be used according to factors such as the nature, efficacy, and source of the medicinal materials to ensure their quality and efficacy.
Su Mu is the main medicine here, and is responsible for the registration of medicinal materials in and out of the warehouse, inventory counting, quality inspection, etc.
Upon learning that Shu He was looking for him, Su Mu put away the account book in his hand and looked at the visitor with surprise and confusion in his eyes.
"I have no connection with the princess. I wonder why the princess came to see me."
Su Mu is an old doctor. Even though he knows Shu He's identity, he is much more stable than those young people.
"There is an old matter that Shu He wants to consult you about, sir. I apologize for bothering you."
After saying that, Shu He asked Zhang Qiong and Cheng Qi to wait outside.
After no one was in the hall, Shu He explained his purpose.
Su Mu's face, which had always been good, suddenly turned pale. When he looked at Shu He, there was a hint of fear and dread in his eyes. "How did the princess know that I knew this?"
"That's not something you should ask, sir."
Shu He took an account book from the table. The records in it were all written by Su Mu himself.
"Looking at your neat and capable handwriting, I'm guessing you were ambitious and devoted to medicine when you were young, right? But now, you're content to stay in this medicine storehouse, doing a sinecure of storing and counting medicines. Has you forgotten your original aspirations, or are you avoiding something?"
Su Mu looked at her, and his tense spirit seemed to dissipate in an instant, and he became depressed and powerless.
He shook his head, a sense of sadness in his heart. "I didn't expect that after hiding for so many years, I would still be found by you. If I had known, I wouldn't have lived in such a miserable state all these years."
"Yes, I was the one who prescribed the medicine for Ming Fei."
