Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard Chapter 80 part3

Gu Removal! Tearing Down Her Mask! (3)

"However, since the Grand Empress Dowager just suffered an enormous impact, she needs to properly rest right now." Hu Yi Jian added.

"En, imperial grandmother rest well. Meng Gu, you all serve imperial grandmother in changing." Han Ming Ze instructed.

"This old servant understands." Meng Gu nodded. 

"Then imperial grandmother, this grandson will come again at night." Han Ming Ze said.

"En, go back and take care of your matters. Having Xiao Li here is enough." Grand Empress Dowager waved her hand.

Han Ming Ze cupped his hand at the Grand Empress Dowager and left first. Han Ming Yuan quickly followed after, while Han Ming Yi looked to Du Xiao Li and quickly followed after as well. 

Because the Grand Empress Dowager needed to change, the others also left the room in succession, coming into the flower garden outside.

"Aiyaa, originally was thinking that if you can't handle it, I can still come out and show off! Looks like there's nothing here for me, so I'll be leaving first. Oh right, recently I have a bit of business to take care of, and need to leave for a period of time, so you all don't need to worry for me." Bai Ning Yuan said as he stretched his arms.

Hearing Bai Ning Yuan's words, Du Xiao Li couldn't help but roll her eyes. Isn't this a little too narcissistic?! Furthermore, it's more like he's been lazing here and refusing to leave, alright! Don't say it like everyone's all reluctant for him to leave and thus he stayed behind! 

Du Xiao Li waved her hand and said, "Walk well, not sending you, the gate is to the left. Wish you a safe trip, and also, no one will worry about you. Remember, next time we meet, bring money to redeem your plaque." 

Bai Ning Yuan heard Du Xiao Li's blunt words of farewell and slanted a glance at her, "I just know you don't have a conscious! Next time, I'll definitely use a large amount of money to blind you! Hmph hmph........"

With that said, he left the estate in the large strides...............

Shortly after, Hu Yi Jiang prescribed another prescriptions for the Grand Empress Dowager, letting the servant girl bring it to her after she wakes up. And after instructing Meng Gu some things, he finally left the room and said to the people outside of the Medicine King Valley, "The lot of you follow me."

The crowd, each in their own mood, followed Hu Yi Jian to a separate courtyard. Arriving in the guest hall, Hu Yi Jian sat down at the main seat, looking to the few standing before him. "Talk, what happened today?"

Hu Yi Jian's words made everyone all somewhat at a loss. Niu Jing puzzlingly asked, "Shifu, what are you talking about?"

Hu Yi Jian didn't speak and just stared at Fan Nuo'er.

"Shigong, what are you referring to?" Fan Nuo'er looked to Hu Yi Jian's furious gaze and somewhat nervously asked.

"This still needs for me to state clearly?!" Hu Yi Jian suddenly slapped the table and berated, "You tell me what you did?" 

Hu Yi Jian had never lashed out at anyone like this before at Medicine King Valley. Fan Nuo'er was completely frightened, in addition to her already guilty at heart, she stutteringly said, "Shigong, Nuo'er doesn't understand your meaning."

"You're still pretending to not know! Talk, earlier, you clearly didn't properly take the Grand Empress Dowager's pulse, why did you say she was poisoned by Bone Devouring Powder to frame your little shishu?!" Hu Yi Jian angrily asked.

As soon as Hu Yi Jian said this, everyone all understood. Hu Yi Jian was questioning Fan Nuo'er's words and action earlier.

Fan Nuo'er instantly knelt down and quickly denied, "Shigong, I wasn't thinking of framing little shishu. I was just really anxious about the Grand Empress Dowager's situation at the time and momentarily panicked, messing up the diagnosis, and thus mistakingly thought that little shishu gave the Grand Empress Dowager Bone Devouring Powder! It really wasn't on purpose!"  

"Shifu, we watched Nuo'er grow up, her character, we're the most clear, how can she think of purposefully harming little junior sister?" Wang Ze helped Fan Nuo'er speak, "It's just that her medical skills aren't enough, and made an error in examination. And in the end, nothing serious happened either, so shifu don't be angry."

"Pah......" Hu Yi Jian slapped the table again, using more strength than before, letting the tea cups on the table lightly jump up. "What do you mean nothing serious happened? Just now, the Emperor almost wanted to kill Xiao Li!"

"Didn't she not get killed?" Fan Nuo'er softly said as she knelt on the ground, "If she really got killed, then that'd be great!"

Fan Nuo'er's voice was very soft, but Du Xiao Li who was near her still heard her clearly. She really didn't have any good intentions towards her!

"Shifu, Nuo'er wasn't being intentional. When we return, I'll definitely lecture her properly!" Wang Ze said.

"Hmph, from how I see it, she doesn't feel she's wrong in the least!" Hu Yi Jian angrily said.

Qing Chen looked to Hu Yi Jian, who was quite angry, and said, "Shifu, if Nuo'er just made an error in diagnosis, then when we return to Medicine King Valley, let senior brother Wang Ze properly lecture her. Please don't be angry." 

Hu Yi Jian was still rather fond of Qing Chen, and hearing him plea for Fan Nuo'er, he said, "Since it's like this, then after we return to the valley, go to the bottom of the hundred feet cliff to face the wall and reflect your misdeeds! Do you know what words you can say, and what words you can't say!? As a doctor, if you can't confirm a patient's situation, then don't recklessly speak! Today, you almost caused Xiao Li to get punished, so apologize to her." 

(T/N: This like the ancient chinese version of go sit in the corner.)

Originally when Fan Nuo'er heard she needed to go to the hundred feet cliff to reflect, she was already very unwilling inside. But now, he actually told her to apologize to Du Xiao Li, making her feel that it was all because of Du Xiao Li that she's getting berated by shigong in front of everyone. Inside, she further resented Du Xiao Li! She thought back to how she was the pampered princess of Medicine King Valley in the past, but now, not only did she get her limelight stolen by Du Xiao Li, she even needed to lower herself to apologize to her!

"Shigong, I admit, my learning isn't good, and made an error diagnosing the Grand Empress Dowager's situation, but I really wasn't purposefully going against her, so why should I apologize her? Shigong shouldn't favor little shishu to this degree!" Fan Nuo'er looked up to Hu Yi Jian, her eyes full of resentment!

Since they entered, Du Xiao Li hadn't said a single word, and just stood in the back, watching everyone's reaction. Listening to here, she went forward two steps and said, "Whether or not she apologizes, doesn't matter. I want to ask disciple Nuo'er, at the time, why were you so sure that I fed the Grand Empress Dowager Bone Devouring Powder? Just purely from the Grand Empress Dowager's expression? Although everyone all say your learning is lacking, this bone devouring powder is a very simple poison. The symptoms you wouldn't be unclear of, right?"

"Of course I know this!"

"Then why were you so certain that I gave the Grand Empress Dowager Bone Devouring Powder? If you can't even make clear of such obvious symptoms, then when you're treating someone, afraid it will cause very serious consequences." Du Xiao Li said.

"I already said just now, at the time, I was merely too anxious and didn't check clearly, thus made an error!" Fan Nuo'er retorted.
