Several days of scorching sun had passed, and finally, a shower of rain fell.
The day after the rain, the weather cooled down significantly.
Envoy Cui Min of the Medical Officer Institute had been very busy recently. The tasks of the other medical officers had increased, everyone was so occupied that they did not even touch the ground, with the exception of Lu Tong.
With no duties for the Board of Rites Office and not being on call, Lu Tong was more leisurely than before.
In the small forest's pharmacy, with the doors and windows wide open, Lu Tong sat at the table, comparing the spread-out scrolls in front of her, and carefully picked out the herbs into the bamboo medicine basket.
"Coptis, licorice, Arisaema, cinnabar, Bupleurum..."
A figure passed by the window and stopped in front of the pharmacy door. After a moment, a voice said, "Doctor Lu."
Lu Tong turned around to see Ji Xun standing at the door.
"Doctor Ji?"
