Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 382 It seems okay

The reason why Gu Xun deliberately asked him this was because he remembered what Ying Zheng said last time and wanted to deceive Huangshan by the way.

Of course, I don't want to take credit from him. After all, he is a colleague. If he just accidentally learns something he shouldn't know, then help him suppress it. It's better to do less than to do more.

However, there were no flaws in the old man's performance. The abnormality in the previous moment was understandable. It would be strange if he didn't feel anything when he was suddenly asked about such a sensitive matter.

Maybe my observation skills are not enough.

Thoughts flashed through Gu Xun's mind quickly, and he did not choose to believe that Huangshan didn't know anything about it, or give up directly, and continued:

"Well... Huang Yuanzheng's view is reasonable, but it's hard to say how things will develop."

"It's just a humble opinion, Vice President of the Guyuan, just listen to it for now. Anyway, I am a medical officer. As long as I do my job honestly, nothing will happen to me."

"Yes, that's right." Gu Xun nodded in agreement, and then asked casually, "Let's not talk about these official affairs. It's too far away and has nothing to do with us. Let's talk about the hospital."

"By the way, our hospital has a female doctor, right?"

Huang Shan originally felt a little relaxed after hearing the first half of Gu Xun's words. However, as soon as he asked the following question, his heart immediately became higher than before, "Of course there are female doctors...but not many. There are only three of them, and they have medical skills." It’s not even top-notch.”

"Why is Deputy Guyuan interested in asking this?"

As soon as the question came out of his mouth, without waiting for Gu Xun's reply, Huang Shan looked at Gu Xun who was sitting up and down, showed a kind smile, and asked, "Vice-Chairman Gu Yuan is not that old yet, are you getting married?" "

Gu Xun's body froze when asked this question, his mouth was half-opened, and the words he was about to say were broken in his mouth.

This tone...this expression...

Gu Xun decisively gave up the topic first and gave priority to blocking Huangshan's topic, "Gu already has a family, three wives!"

Emphasized later.

"?" Huang Shan's words were blocked at this time. He was about to ask Gu Xun if he wanted to find a female doctor to get close to - of course, he knew that Gu Xun couldn't ask this to find a woman, but it was just to change the topic. Just try it—and this is the answer.

It was understandable that he already had a family. After all, although the other party looked young, he was still almost twenty years old and could have started a family long ago.

But the three ladies...should be concubines, right?

Even the prince can only marry one princess, so why do you have three wives? This is the kind of treatment only a king can have...

Seeing the old man's confused look, Gu Xun also realized that his words might be a bit ambiguous, so he explained, "The 'ma'am' I am talking about is different from what you think Huang Yuanzheng."

Huang Shan also reacted at this moment, and the doubt on his face disappeared.

It wasn't that Gu Xun's explanation was useful or that it was nonsense, but Huang Shan remembered that there was a group of people who were not so particular about the names of their wives and concubines, and were often very general.

Jianghu people!
  The children of Jianghu, who are happy with their grudges, do not pay much attention to these, and they do not distinguish them clearly, and they often refer to them collectively.

But he wasn't surprised. The doctor's profession was already very close to Jianghu. Before he entered Tai Hospital, there were many Jianghu heroes among the people he came into contact with.

"Since the Vice-President of Guyuan has a family, what are those female doctors doing? What use are they in?"

"No." Gu Xun quickly shook his head and spoke his question as quickly as possible to prevent Huangshan from taking the topic away again. "I just suddenly remembered something someone else told me."

"It is said that several female doctors in the Imperial Hospital died unexpectedly in the past, not long before the Empress Dowager Zhao moved to Yongcheng... Does Huang Yuanzheng know?"

Huangshan's heart sank when he mentioned it. It seems that the deputy of the ancient courtyard really didn't just come to take a look... Your Majesty, are you suspicious?

"As an imperial doctor, I naturally know." "Then do you know how they died?" Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"...Didn't Vice President Gu Yuan say it himself? He died unexpectedly!" Huangshan added the accent intentionally or unintentionally to the last few words.

"Is it really an accidental death? What kind of accident?" Gu Xun continued to ask reluctantly.

"...Accident...It's just an accident, nothing special." Huang Shan's face looked a little ugly, and he replied in a slow voice.

"Exactly how many died?"

"...four, which was also the number of female doctors in the Imperial Hospital at that time."

"Hey!" Gu Xun smiled when he heard this, "Huang Yuanzheng, four people died in an accident together... Is this reasonable? Even if you say they suffered from the plague, I am more willing to believe you."

"This is the explanation given by the Queen Mother, so what can I do?" Huang Shan stared at Gu Xun with his cloudy eyes and asked in a sharp voice.

"I didn't even see their corpses. By the time I found out, the Queen Mother's people had already taken care of everything and they were buried. What else could I do...?"

Huang Shan behaves like a conscientious Shangguan. Faced with the unreasonable death of his subordinates, he is helplessly sad and resentful.

This still doesn't mean anything... Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and hesitated whether to ask again.

The questions have come to this point, so let’s just finish them. No matter what the answer is, there will be enough reasons for Ying Zheng to give up when he goes back.

"Huang Yuan knows why they died in the Queen Mother's Palace."

"Huh..." Huangshan closed his eyes, took a long breath, and his lips trembled slightly before returning slowly:

"How do I know?"

"The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother has become increasingly moody in recent years. We medical officers are almost like ants to her. Maybe... just being in a bad mood is enough for her to kill someone to vent her anger."

After all, the respect a doctor receives is given by others. People will treat you with courtesy considering their reputation in the medical family, but if they don't take it into consideration, life and death can only be taken away with a single thought.

Huangshan's statement and Huangshan's performance still have no flaws.

"Du... Du... Du... Huang Yuanzheng makes sense." Gu Xun's finger knuckles were unconsciously tapping on the table. After a moment, he stood up, gathered his robes, and asked Huangshan:
  "I won't disturb you anymore, Mr. Gu. Where is my clinic?"

"I will take you there."

Gu Xun raised his hand and refused, "There's no need for Huang Yuanzheng to come out again, just tell me the location and I'll go there myself."

When Huang Shan heard what Gu Xun said, he was not polite. He sat back down and said with a leisurely smile, "That's rude of me. My arms and legs are too old to move."

"Deputy Guyuan's clinic is in the southwest corner of the courtyard. Your name is hanging on the door. If you really can't find it, just ask the others."

"Yeah, okay." Gu Xun nodded, remembering that he didn't see anyone after entering the hospital, and asked again, "When Gu came in just now, there seemed to be no one in the hospital?"

"Ah... well, haha, there aren't many people in Tai Hospital. Today, a few people just went out to visit us for consultation, so it seems even more deserted." Huang Shan explained, "But you just need to find a room at random. Eighty percent of them are occupied."

Gu Xun said no more, turned around and left the main hall.

Huang Shan sat alone in his seat, watching Gu Xun's disappearing figure, and let out a long sigh of relief.
