Chapter 1521 - 328, What a moron! (Third Watch)_2
Indeed, she guessed right!
Xiao Linshuang pouted, a look of disgust on her face, but the slightly upturned corners of her lips still betrayed her mood at the moment: "That blockhead, after going back, stuffed every herb he could find into his mouth, eating whatever edible and smearing on whatever not! Oh, so many of our herbs have properties that can augment or counteract each other, what good can come from that blockhead applying a mishmash of herbs to himself?"
"Hmph, his whole body ballooned up a size, and his face is covered with Big Pimples. I only made it so he couldn’t speak, but after he gobbled up all that nonsense and came back, not only could he not speak, but even his eyes became somewhat blind, and his ears, one could hear while the other couldn’t! Ah, that blockhead, that blockhead!"
Seeing Xiao Linshuang’s heartache mixed with disgust, Lin Yuan finally understood why she did not want to take Wen Jingming as an apprentice. With such a troublesome disciple by her side, she would either be worked to death or angered to death in the future!
However, seeing Xiao Linshuang being challenged by the Wen father and son, Lin Yuan felt it was definitely not just these two people.
"Apart from these two, are there others who have come to challenge you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Linshuang looked at Lin Yuan with a long-live-the-understanding gaze, almost bursting into tears with excitement: "Big sister, you are so smart! Those old guys from the Imperial Medical Bureau aren’t attending to the ladies of the court and all of them came to Book Pavilion. Today they asked me about the properties of herbs, tomorrow they come to ask me for detoxification. Oh dear, if it were really tough and complicated cases it’d be fine, but the problems they come to me with are all things that can be found in books!"
After speaking, Xiao Linshuang continued to grumble resentfully: "Don’t the ladies in the palace fall ill? These fellows earn high salaries and just idly wander around in the palace every day, does the Emperor not care about them?"
Lin Yuan shrugged, turned her head away somewhat speechlessly. The Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau were really too idle; otherwise, Doctor Wen wouldn’t have had to wait three days to come and concede defeat to her. Perhaps he would have come the same day!
Having encountered so many incidents in one visit to the Frost Pavilion, Lin Yuan no longer had the interest to check out the new ointments and took Shui Xian back to Dong Tian.
Once Lin Yuan had left, Xiao Linshuang sat in her little room, thinking this way and that, then abruptly slapped the table and exclaimed "Hey", startling Du Ruo, who stared at her in shock.
