Doctor Li spat, "What bad luck!"
Truly a calamity out of nowhere.
He had already kept his distance from the people of the Imperial Hospital, yet somehow this bothersome Dean Pang had his eye on him.
He must go pray at a temple.
Marquis Gu earnestly reminded him.
"You probably can't avoid going."
Doctor Li now stared at Marquis Gu for a long while before saying, "Marquis, please speak your mind."
Marquis Gu didn't feel embarrassed, and continued, "Since you can't avoid it, you might as well take it on. In the future... there will surely be a great reward."
This promise of a great reward implied quite a bit.
Doctor Li pondered for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Now that Yelv Xianyong's health has improved considerably, what does the Marquis plan to do? Madam's incense pills are extremely effective; I'm afraid I might also have need of them."
Yelv Xianyong had been poisoned by a desert scorpion but was able to recover thanks to Qin Yuan's medicinal fragrances.
