Chapter 1142: Chapter 1138: Whose Medicine Is This?
She didn’t know why the madman’s gene was so strong, but Rong Xi was only two years old and her personality hinted at a sinister nature, which already made her cautious.
She couldn’t raise another Chu Yifeng.
Su Yingxue slightly furrowed her brow, “But sister had released some information that led Chu Yifeng to find her portrait, hadn’t she?”
She had thought that Rong Sheng, to some extent, would let Chu Yifeng know about his daughter’s existence, allowing father and daughter to meet.
“That was bait, just my own news. Chu Yifeng might not come in a grand manner. Knowing he has a daughter, he would surely come prepared and have his concerns, he wouldn’t want to hurt Rong Xi.”
Rong Sheng looked at the young girl sitting quietly; she had just finished reading a picture book and then started tearing it apart.
On her delicate face, there weren’t many emotions, yet she managed to tear the picture book completely, leaving no trace, giving no chance for others to pry.
Clearly, she had memorized the content of the torn picture book.
She would become like Chu Yifeng, surely his Achilles’ heel.
And she must use this Achilles’ heel to make Chu Yifeng forget her forever, to stay away from her for a lifetime.
Su Yingxue suddenly felt that this was somewhat cruel; regardless of what that madman Chu Yifeng felt, it was regrettable for the young girl Rong Xi, who had such a wonderful mother as sister Rong Sheng, yet would never see her father again.
Su Yingxue chatted idly with Rong Sheng for a while until Rong Sheng needed to continue seeing patients.
Back in the familiar clinic, Su Yingxue herself felt a strong urge to practice, though she could not sit in consultation like Rong Sheng anymore, but helping Rong Sheng, decocting medicine, and simply changing dressings for patients were still things she could do.
She had just finished bandaging one of Rong Sheng’s patients when outside, Rong Sheng’s apprentice, Little Xie, came running to say, “Doctor Rong, the person responsible for decocting medicine suddenly had an emergency at home; all three of them have requested leave to go back, and we are short-handed with the medicine-making.”
While saying this, Little Xie glanced at Su Yingxue, who had been helping out in Rong Sheng’s place all morning, and noted that she was capable of doing the work.
“Find someone else,” Rong Sheng said with a cold face, “Not everyone can help you decoct medicines, go and arrange it yourself.”
Little Xie, having been with Rong Sheng for two years and although only seventeen or eighteen, had grown mature.
Seeing that it was not going to work, he could only turn away.
“Wait, decocting medicine is a minor matter, let me help you.” Su Yingxue washed her hands and was ready to go out with Little Xie.
Rong Sheng slightly furrowed her brow, “Don’t go, given your current status, it might not be good if people find out.”
Although she didn’t have the ancient rigorous class concept, thinking Su Yingxue, as an empress, shouldn’t do such hard work.
But she had to consider Su Yingxue’s safety; their visit this time was not as simple as sightseeing.
Su Yingxue smiled and shook her head, “It’s fine, the recent threats have been eliminated, and I am quite free! And besides, don’t they always say, ‘to be a mother to the nation’? Let me take care of my ‘children’.”
She smiled broadly, making all the myriad beauties of the world pale in comparison.
Rong Sheng did not control her further.
Su Yingxue went with Little Xie to help in the decocting room. Whereas it normally took the medicine apprentices half a day to organize the medicinal herbs and utensils, she did so efficiently and quickly finished decocting and packaging the medicine, having it sent out by the runners.
But when decocting a certain prescription, she pinched her nose, “Whose chronic old injury is so severe to require such medication?”
She felt something was unusual and grabbed Little Xie to ask.
