The next day, a unfamiliar figure followed Eunuch Yu into Qianqiu Palace.
Eunuch Yu stood before Shang Ruyi, beaming. After clasping his hands in salute, he said, "Princess, this is Imperial Doctor Du Ruoming. From now on, he will attend to the health of you and the Young Master."
"Oh."
At his words, Shang Ruyi slowly lifted her head, and saw a man of about thirty, thin of build, with a small goatee, standing before her, bowing with clasped hands. Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "So it is Doctor Du. I'll be in your care from now on."
"I wouldn't dare."
"Just as well, I haven't been sleeping too well these past two days. Come take my pulse."
"Yes."
