The days passed quickly, and the night deepened.
The medical officers of the Medical Officer Institute had all gone to bed, and Lin Danqing, who had accompanied the Chief Physician to the palace to take the pulse of a noble in the afternoon, was too exhausted from the day's work and went to rest on his cot early.
Lu Tong, however, could not sleep, so she simply went to tidy up prescriptions in the herb storage.
After she had finished with the prescriptions and still felt no drowsiness, she picked a medical book she hadn't read before from the shelves and spread out paper and brush to copy down the text at the desk.
The night was very quiet, with only the low sound of insects outside the courtyard, and behind the stacks of medicinal shelves, Lu Tong sat in front of a low table, copying books by the light of a lamp.
"Maimendong, peony, Sedum, and duck's weed, all mainly treat delirious fever..."
"Tinglizi suddenly causes madness, take White Dog Blood Pill for treatment..."
