Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace
Chapter 128: Ming’s Doctor Appointment

That day, Ming visited a eunuch physician in order to get some medicine.

When he was just a child, he broke his leg while playing. He could still vividly remember the pain of the medical treatment and how frightened he was of the doctor, so that probably made him deeply hate doctors.

And yet, that same Ming was frequenting the doctors by some fate.

On top of being watched by General Li, he also received a letter with the words “your duty is to nurture yourself back to health so that you can once again return to serve”, personally written by the emperor.

With things reaching to this extent, he could no longer say the excuse that he wanted to run away because he was scared of doctors.

If he did say those things, General Li would definitely march into his house, take him away and tie him to the doctor’s bed.

And so, he requested to get all the medicine he needed until he could fully recover all at once. However, the physician dispensing the medicine only gave him enough for a few days, and told him to “come here and get the medicine from me yourself”.

He probably wanted to see Ming’s progress every few days, and whether he was really devoutly following his medical treatment plan

He didn’t trust Ming, apparently.

And all of this was due to —

‘@&$#(*, that wench!’

Ming inwardly cursed.

Everything was that all because of that meddlesome wench who came with General Li, and the eunuch physician that she took with her.

Ming initially thought that Hui was brought back from the dead when he first laid his eyes on that wench.

However, when he looked at her anew after a while, he discovered that she was not Hui, much to his disappointment.

It was true that both of them had bluish hair, but then, when he thought about it, Hui was probably not the only one who had blue hair in this wide world.

Hui also had her own set of parents and siblings, and those people also have theirs, and so on… in short, there were definitely many people with bluish hair in this world.

Thus, it was understandable that one of them coincidently entered the capital and became a court lady.

Even Hui entered the capital with the same circumstances, after all.

‘Something must be wrong with me, mistaking that scary wench with Hui. It was just an illusion caused by wine.’

That’s the conclusion that Ming arrived at, but then, he only met her twice when he was conscious, and his concentration had been extremely low because of the shaking of his body brought about by drunkenness. Because of that, if someone asked him ‘what does that girl look like?’, he wouldn’t be able to answer because he hadn’t seen her appearance properly.

And thus, he didn’t even notice that the girl’s eyes were blue.

Anyway, this story must be set aside for now.

Ming was also dissatisfied with that eunuch physician.

The one dispensing the medicine was that doctor’s master, 

The physician giving Ming’s medicine happened to be that eunuch physician’s master. That wench and that eunuch physician blabbered on and on about everything when they introduced this person to Ming.

He had regarded physicians to be people with ability, but they must be nuts for allowing that wench to continue on with her evil antics.

Ah, rather than trying to pinpoint whether that was indeed true or not, maybe it was just something that occasionally happened.

‘Still, my body isn’t as bad as they say, I’m pretty sure, probably.”

Ming was still trying to convince himself with that excuse while dragging his feet unwillingly. He trudged on towards the clinic

“Hm?”

Ming discovered a man lying along the road.

“Hey, what happened?”

Ming called out to him, but there was no response. Nevertheless, it seemed that he was still alive.

His entire body was ragged and extremely dirty, and he could easily see that this guy must have traveled a long way.

‘Well, now…’

Ming couldn’t leave this guy alone, and because he was already on his way to the clinic, he decided that he might as well carry him on his back and head there.

In one way or another, Ming was also quite a soft-hearted guy.

T/N: Oh dear, just curious, what would Ming do if he knew that he was cursing the beloved daughter of the emperor and the woman he loved haha.
