Chapter 1329: Reminder
Unexpectedly, just as the two of them were about to reach the entrance of the alley, they suddenly bumped into a familiar person.
That person was also stunned for a moment when he saw them. Then, he walked over. “Doctor Shao.”
Shao Qingyuan nodded at him, greeted him, and brushed past him, planning to leave.
That person was about to leave, but he suddenly stopped and said, “Imperial Physician Cui entered the palace to meet the emperor as soon as he returned.”
This person was the imperial guard who had protected Imperial Physician Cui and his daughter on the ship. Now that Imperial Physician Cui had returned to the capital safely, his mission was completed.
This person left after saying this.
Gu Yundong waited until his figure had completely disappeared before she asked, “Are all the people in the capital so oblique?”
Couldn’t he make it clearer? He clearly meant well, but if he met someone who wasn’t quick-witted enough, they really wouldn’t be able to figure it out.
Shao Qingyuan led her into the alley. “I don’t have a relationship with him after all. We’ve only met once. It’s already not bad that he reminded me of this.”
He told them that Imperial Physician Cui had gone to see the emperor as soon as he returned to the capital. It was to report the vaccination in the Heding Prefecture.
This was his duty as a subject.
Although Shao Qingyuan did not have the status of an official imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital, he was in charge of the vaccination in the Xuanhe Prefecture. He was shouldering the mission given by the emperor.
When he returned to the capital, he should have entered the palace to meet the emperor immediately.
Unexpectedly, he stayed outside for two days without doing anything. Imperial Physician Cui and Shao Qingyuan came back on the same boat. The emperor must have known that he had been in the capital for two days.
If he delayed any longer, no matter how good the emperor’s temper was, even if he knew that he did not know the rules of the imperial court and did not mind, others would be dissatisfied and report Shao Qingyuan.
“Are you going to the palace tomorrow?” Gu Yundong asked.
Shao Qingyuan nodded. “I do plan to enter the palace tomorrow.” With his status, it was not enough for him to meet the emperor directly. He had to report to the head of the Imperial Hospital, Song Dejiang, before Song Dejiang brought him there.
“I’ll leave the house to you. I’ll be back soon.”
“Yeah.”
The two of them walked to the entrance as they spoke. Some of the things they had bought had already been transported over.
Shao Wen and Tong Shuitao were helping with the transportation. When they saw Gu Yundong and Gu Yundong, Tong Shuitao immediately ran over.
“Miss, the room has been tidied up, and the bed and cabinet have arrived. Come in and take a look.”
Gu Yundong followed her in and was the first to see some old furniture and miscellaneous items piled up in the courtyard. There were some things here that were going to be sold, and some were going to be thrown away.
Unexpectedly, a woman who was helping to clean the house suddenly came forward. She went to Gu Yundong’s side and asked with a smile, “Madam Shao, you’re back?”
“Aunt, what’s the matter?”
“It’s like this. Look at your bed, cabinet, and so on. You don’t want the old ones anyway. Can I take them back?”
Gu Yundong was stunned, but Tong Shuitao frowned and said, “I’ve already told you that those big items are for sale.”
“Sigh, look at what you’re saying. Those things are all damaged. Otherwise, how could the previous owner bear to leave them behind? You just came to the capital and don’t know the market in the capital. These things are not worth much money.”
As soon as the woman finished speaking, another woman behind her pulled her back. “Alright, stop talking. These things are worth…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was pushed by the woman from before. “Shut up.”
