Chapter 229: Imperial Physician! Quickly, call the Imperial Physician! (2 / 2)
“He once told me why he adopted a godson…”
Qin Zheng’s voice was soft and delicate as she spoke. Across from her sat Empress Dou.
—The reason she had traveled with Ji Sui was to visit the Empress in the capital. The Empress had given her a token. If Qin Zheng wanted to enter the palace, she could present it at the Empress’s estate, and arrangements would be made.
After explaining the origins of the godson situation, Qin Zheng’s throat seemed rusty. She appeared to have more to say but didn’t know how to express it. She remained silent, her head slightly lowered.
The Empress reached out and covered Qin Zheng’s hand with her own.
Startled, Qin Zheng looked up. The warmth from the Empress’s soft palm seemed to spread throughout her entire body.
The Empress gently asked, “Ah Zheng, what do you usually spend your days doing?”
This was something she could articulate without hesitation.
“In my daily life, apart from reading and learning dance, I go to the countryside to provide free medical treatment for those who cannot afford it.”
