The night was advanced, and all was silent, the silver candle expelled smoke.
In the lodging, the wooden window of the chamber remained ajar, with the wind sending the medical prescriptions scattered all over the floor.
Lu Tong bent over to pick up the scrolls that had fallen to the ground as Lin Danqing walked in from outside.
During the day, Cui Min had assigned Lu Tong and Cao Huai to diagnose the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Jin Xianrong. Lin Danqing, still not giving up hope, found that Cui Min had gone to the palace for his official duties, leaving Lin Danqing no choice but to seek a favor from Chief Physician Chang Jin.
After much persuasion, Chang Jin remained resolute—he did not have the authority to change the decision.
Lin Danqing squatted beside Lu Tong, helping her to gather the scattered papers. While organizing them, he sighed deeply, "Younger Sister Lu, how could you think of diagnosing Jin Xianrong?"
