Chapter 186: A Person's Two Paths

late"Qing Xuan's calmness and composure were beyond Nan Gong Ye's expectations.A trace of surprise flashed across Nangong Ye's eyes.Qingxuan brought the simmered yellow bird soup to his lips and said,...Zhou Dequan: “Your Highness, the apprentice you just took in”

Hearing Qingxuan’s words, Zhou Dequan was like seeing red rain falling from the sky

Qingxuan nodded calmly, then turned to Zhou Hong who was standing in the hall wearing a veil. 。

Qingxuan: "A-hong, come here and meet Lord Zhou."

Zhou Hong, hearing this, immediately followed Qing Xuan's instructions and walked towards Zhou Gonggong. 。

Zhou Hong: "Zhou Hong has met Zhou Gonggong

Seeing that Qingxuan not only had just taken on a disciple, but the disciple was also a woman, Zhou Dequan took a deep breath. 。

Zhou Dequan was shocked, but he quickly suppressed the shock.

The emperor summoned him to bring Qingxuan into the palace, but didn't say anything about bringing his apprentice along. 。Seeing Zhou Dequan hesitate, Qingxuan said: “Zhou Gonggong, although I have been married to the Crown Prince for many years, I have never entered the palace...” 。I'm not familiar with the palace, it would be nice to have an apprentice by my side. 。When I was treating Chen Lingyue, knowing that someone was guarding me outside, I felt at ease. 。Otherwise, if it is because of an uneasy heart and Chen Lingyue's illness could not be cured, the consequences would be serious. 。

Having heard Qingxuan say this, Zhou Dequan didn't dare to refuse any longer.

Zhou Dequan: "Her Royal Highness, today's treatment is a matter of great importance to the reputation of the royal family. Someone trustworthy needs to be by Her Royal Highness's side to ensure her peace of mind so she can focus on her practice." 。Since that's the case, Your Highness, let us enter the palace. 。Qingxuan nodded. "Good" 。

Qingxuan and Zhou Hong got into the sedan chair arranged by the emperor.

At this time, Zhou Hong sat beside Qingxuan. Although she didn't speak, Qingxuan still noticed Zhou Hong pinching the palm of her hand. 。Zhou Hong is still nervous. 。

Qingxuan poured a cup of hot tea

Qingxuan: "A Hong"

Qingxuan called out to Zhou Hong several times before she came back to her senses and looked at Qingxuan, who was offering her a cup of hot tea. 。Zhou Hong: “The princess..." 。Zhou Hong hurriedly took the tea, but in that instant, she was splashed by the accidentally spilled hot tea on her back. 。Fortunately, the hot tea wasn't too scalding and didn't burn Zhou Hong's skin. 。

Zhou Hong hastily put down her teacup, her eyes filled with remorse: "Your Highness, it's all my fault. "

"I shouldn't have been so reckless!"

Qingxuan, however, took out a silk handkerchief to wipe Zhou Hong's hands.

Qingxuan's voice is very infectious. When she speaks calmly, she always makes the other person feel peaceful. 。This was also a communication technique she had used with patients in the past. 。Now she uses this technique on the anxious Zhou Hong. 。

Qingxuan: "Ahong, you don't have to be so flustered

Zhou Hong, however, seemed like a child who had done something wrong. 。Zhou Hong hung her head dejectedly: "Your Highness, it's all Ah Hong's incompetence. Before even entering the palace, she's already losing her composure." 。"Now it's not time to go to the palace yet" 。"Could you tell me, what in the palace makes you feel scared"

Zhou Hong: "This…"

Zhou Hong looked up in surprise at Qingxuan 。

When Qingxuan asked her like that, for a moment she couldn't explain herself.

Zhou Hong's brows were tightly knitted together, her lips pressed into a thin line, as if she were pondering a century-old problem. A hint of a comforting smile played on the corner of her crimson lips. 。

Qingxuan raised the cup of tea she had poured for herself.

She sipped her tea and said, "People are all the same. From birth, they have two eyes, four legs, and one life." 。All grow up eating food and drinking water. 。Even the emperor cannot live without food and water. 。Even those who live in the imperial family will grow old, get sick, and die. There is no exception. 。They have, just like us, one head and one heart. 。The only difference is that their status and identity are different from ours. 。If you fear their status, there is no need to. 。Now you have to think, you are Ji Qingxuan's disciple, learning medicine from me. In the future, when these people get sick, they will come to you for help. 。Zhou Hong stared blankly at Qingxuan: "Will they ask me for help in the future" in front of her how cruelly he would kill a rat.The assassin raised his neck higher, his eyes filled with the emotion of welcoming death."Even if you torture me, I won't say who my employer is. Just...
