Chapter 274 It's snowing outside
Long Chuqing and Imperial Physician Liu bypassed the pear wood and herbal screen in the main hall and entered the West Lecture Hall, where a group of imperial physicians in official robes were already seated.
Seeing this, Long Chuqing felt a little guilty.
She hadn't expected them to take it so seriously, but she arrived empty-handed. Apart from her eloquent mouth and a head full of medical knowledge, she hadn't brought anything or made any preparations, which made her seem somewhat perfunctory.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Imperial Physician Liu solemnly introduced Long Chuqing to the assembled imperial physicians.
"This is Miss Long, whom I have invited today to discuss medicine with you all."
"As you all have probably heard, and several imperial physicians have witnessed firsthand, that after all the physicians had pronounced Prince Yu dead, this Miss Long pulled him back from the brink of death. In the medical field, no... in any other context, this is nothing short of a miracle..."
"Everyone, give them a warm welcome!" Judge Liu led the applause, and the other imperial physicians followed suit.
Long Chuqing nodded to everyone with a smile on his face, but his toes were digging into the ground.
Sigh, there's really no need for such an introduction; it makes people feel awkward.
Below sat not only bearded imperial physicians, but also many young imperial physicians, some of whom had seen her at the Prince Yu's residence.
Although many senior imperial physicians with profound experience and superb medical skills were sitting below, Long Chuqing's knowledge and experience in medicine were still more comprehensive than theirs, so she didn't shush them when she was lecturing them.
Because they were all very curious about how Long Chuqing had saved Prince Yu from the brink of death that day, Long Chuqing began by talking about CPR...

Long Chuqing went to the Imperial Hospital for three consecutive days.
She selected some modern knowledge that could be used in ancient times, as well as some medical knowledge that was more advanced than that of their dynasty, and explained and taught them to them.
Many of them had heard of the Prince Yu, but none had seen the doctor who had saved him.
Initially, the academy judge said they had invited a highly skilled person to teach them—the very person who would cure Prince Yu. They were full of anticipation, but when they saw a young woman walk in, they couldn't help but have doubts.
Thinking that what could a little girl know, if the academy judge hadn't ordered them to come and listen to the lecture, they would have felt like they were being tricked.
The imperial physicians who had seen her at Prince Yu's residence were eagerly anticipating her explanation.
It wasn't until they heard about a completely new medical concept from Long Chuqing that they began to take it seriously.
The imperial physicians were fascinated by this medical knowledge they had never encountered before, and they listened attentively to Long Chuqing's explanations and took notes.
After Long Chuqing finished explaining, they would actively ask questions if they didn't understand something.
Many people didn't understand this new knowledge, and one after another, people raised their hands to ask questions, showing that they were all people who loved to learn!
For them, the knowledge they gained in the past two or three days has been incredibly beneficial!
Liu Yuanpan was also very interested in the external injury medicine made by Long Chuqing, and Long Chuqing readily shared some knowledge about medicine preparation with them.
Judge Liu also brought a bunch of prescriptions for her to check if there were any areas that needed improvement, and hoped that she could point out any unreasonable aspects.
Long Chu thought to herself: This Imperial Physician Liu really doesn't treat her like an outsider. He trusts her so much that he directly showed her such an important prescription.
Since the judge trusted her so much, she couldn't just do a perfunctory job.
Long Chuqing sat by the charcoal stove, browsing through the many prescriptions sent by the academy judge. For prescriptions that needed improvement, she would mark them and attach the names and descriptions of the modified medicinal materials.
Whether or not they ultimately make changes is a matter for them to decide internally.
In the late afternoon, snowflakes began to fall, and the young apprentice brought Long Chuqing warm tea. "Sister Long, please have some tea."
"Thank you."
The young apprentice added two more pieces of charcoal to the basin, saying, "It's snowing outside, and it's gotten even colder now!"
"Has it snowed?" Long Chuqing looked up at the medicine boy and asked.
"Hmm..." The young apprentice nodded. "It's not small at all! The snowflakes are falling one by one, and the ground will be completely white in no time."
The young apprentice squatted on the ground and stretched his hands over the charcoal brazier to warm them. Perhaps because he had just touched cold water, his hands were now red from the cold.
"Have some of this warm tea!" Long Chuqing said to the medicine boy.
“I’m not thirsty, this is for you, drink it…” The young apprentice looked up and replied, then continued rubbing his hands.
From time to time, imperial physicians would come to her to ask her questions, and some of the younger imperial physicians would use the pretext of asking questions just to get a few more glances at her.
After all, you don't usually see such a beautiful girl! I wonder how many days she'll be here. I'll take advantage of her time at the Imperial Hospital to catch a few more glimpses of her.
As Judge Liu had warned them, since this Miss Long was now living in the Prince of Qin's mansion, they should not have any ulterior motives.
Therefore, they admired Long Chuqing more than anything; she was not only beautiful but also had extensive knowledge.
By the time Long Chuqing finished revising the pile of prescriptions in his hand, it was almost dusk, and the sky outside was beginning to darken.
She tidied up the scene, handed the prescription to the physician, and prepared to return home.
Judge Liu glanced at the prescription casually, then put it into a box and stored it away, intending to study it carefully later.
He said gratefully, "Miss Long, thank you so much."
"You're welcome," Long Chuqing smiled. "I'm glad I could help you."
"That has been a great help. The knowledge you have taught us at the Imperial Medical Academy in the past two or three days has completely overturned our previous understanding! We have benefited a lot, but we still need to think about it carefully."
"Take your time..."
"Then I will send someone to escort you back to your residence."
"Sister Long." At this moment, the medicine boy ran in from outside. He saw that Judge Liu was also there, and bowed respectfully to him: "Greetings, Judge Liu."
"Why are you being so hasty?" Judge Liu scolded.
"Oh, His Highness the Prince has arrived. It's Prince Qin." The young apprentice pointed outside. "He's waiting outside right now. He said he's here to take Sister Long back to the manor."
"Oh, Your Highness has arrived!" Judge Liu was initially surprised, then laughed, "Haha...it seems I don't need to arrange for someone to escort the young lady back."
The snowflakes outside were still falling softly, even heavier than before.
The wind rises and the snow dances, the snowflakes swirling and dancing in the air before slowly and gently falling.
Snowflakes whitened the rooftops, the walls, and the earth, as if draping a pure white and mysterious veil over nature.
Xiao Han was dressed in a white brocade robe with gold trim, and a white fur-trimmed cloak over it. He had not tied his hair up today, and his hair was half loose and hanging down his back.
He stood in the swirling snow, holding an oil-paper umbrella, exuding the image of a refined and aloof nobleman, creating a serene and beautiful feeling.
When he saw Long Chuqing come out, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Judge Liu bowed to him.
Xiao Han nodded in acknowledgment.
