Chapter 842 - Emergency?
Chapter 842: Emergency?
Bai Zhi stopped in front of a bookshelf, pointed her finger to the vacant space on the shelf, and asked: “Can you find out where this book goes?”
Imperial Doctor Xu nodded his head: “Yes, all the books borrowed from the Imperial Hospital are registered. Even the books borrowed a hundred years ago can be checked.”
Bai Zhi was overjoyed: “That’s great. If we can find this book of strange pulse theory, maybe we can find out the cause of the princess’s weird pulse.”
Imperial Doctor Xu said: “Then what are you waiting for?”
The two went out of the library and looked for the internal officer who was in charge of the library. Imperial Doctor Xu was in charge of the institute. If he wanted to borrow a book, he only need say a word.
There were three copies of books written in the register book. Each of them has been borrowed nearly 50 years ago. Other copies haven’t been take out because they were sealed.
Imperial Doctor Xu asked the internal officer to help to look where the three copies are. No one else was in the room, so the errand boy found them easily.
“Miss Bai, the princess’s maidservant asked you to go there immediately. It seems that the princess has some emergency.”
Emergency? Did something happen?
Bai Zhi’s heart sank and said to the errand boy: “You stay here, your master will tell you what to look for. I will go to see the princess first.”
Imperial Doctor Xu wanted to follow too, but seeing what Bai Zhi meant was to leave him here to find the whereabouts of the book. He went back inside and said to the errand boy: “Come over here.”
Bai Zhi hurried away. When the errand boy saw Bai Zhi disappeared, he showed a dissatisfied look on his face: “Master, you are the head of the imperial hospital. It’s you who should be the one treating the princess. How can a little girl like her snatch your job? How can she just let you look for a book here?”
Imperial Doctor Xu smiled lightly: “Why? Naturally, it’s all about ability. If I have the ability to cure the princess, she will not appear here. You, you are really ignorant. You have a chance to learn, why don’t you cherish it? Instead, you’re complaining here.”
Hearing this, the internal officer asked in a low voice: “Imperial Doctor Xu, is Miss Bai really a divine doctor like the rumor said? Can a little girl like her really cure a disease that even you can’t cure?”
Imperial Doctor Xu nodded his head: “That’s not a rumor, it’s a fact. She cured the empress dowager. And now, when the princess came and has been checked by us, no one found the problem. But as soon as Mss Bai came, the princess woke up. It’s something that everyone has seen. Can’t you still tell the problem?”
The errand boy said: “Even so, even if she does have some abilities, she can’t let the master look for books here.”
Imperial Doctor Xu said: “Things must be always be prioritized. In Miss Bai’s eyes, the most important thing right now is to find this book. If it weren’t for the princess having an emergency, she would stay here to look for that book here. This kid, why do you have so many complaints at a young age? Medical skills are not based on age or seniority. It’s all about high skills. If you can’t lower yourself and ask for advice, how will you become a master?”
The errand boy spat out his tongue. He didn’t mean anything else. He just wanted to follow his master’s wishes. However, Miss Bai didn’t let his master follow her, so he felt a little unhappy.
Imperial Doctor Xu said again: “Although I am old now, I still maintain to have the same humility to ask for advice when I was young. Miss Bai is right. I need to keep learning as to not live in vain.”
The errand boy took a step back and bowed to Imperial Doctor Xu: “Thank you, Master, for your advice. This disciple understands.”
Imperial Doctor Xu nodded: “It’s good if you understand. Don’t be afraid if you lack talent, be afraid if you don’t have the heart to continue to learn. You should always have a humble attitude to learn and make the best use of it.”
