Across Time And Space 31 Second Brother 2

Every two days, Head Physician Bai would gather everyone around for an a.s.sembly. During this time, he would brief everyone on their daily task, and the news he got from His Majesty regarding the infirmary.

Mingyue stood among the crowd as she listened to the Physician's words.

This time, it seemed that the western region of Da Cheng was. .h.i.t by heavy rain for a week and caused a heavy flood.

Surprised gasped could be heard across the room. Some of the physicians began to discuss among themselves what was going to happen next. They were sure that some of them were going to be sent out to aid the victim.

Small voices of displeasure could be heard among them. Not many were willing to go to the western region.

"Silence!" One of the elders spoke. His face showed anger. "You were the Imperial Infirmary physicians! We must save the people. It should be our honor to be sent out to help the victim. If I heard one more word of complaints, be ready to pack up your belongings and get out of the Imperial Infirmary!"

Bai Yu glanced towards the elder and nodded. Then, he turned his gaze to the crowd before him. "The name of physician who will be going to aid this disaster will be posted on the board shortly. If anyone wanted to volunteer, you can come and see me."

The crowd disappeared as soon as the briefing ended. The senior physician went straight to their daily task while the younger generation went straight to check the names on the notice board.

Mingyue went with Ying Yi to check on the list. Mingyue's face remained unchanged when she did not see their name on the list. She had guessed that the Infirmary would not a.s.sign her anywhere as she was looking after the Princess.

Mingyue turned when she felt someone tugging on her sleeves. Ying Yi was looking at her with her bright eyes. Then she moved her hands to say something.

"You're right. You will get the chance to learn a lot if you go with them." Mingyue turned to Ying Yi and smiled. "Do you want to go?"

Ying Yi lowered her gaze as she hesitated. Then, she raised her head and nodded slowly.

"I can talk to Head Physician Bai for you. But you will have to be strong and take care of yourself. I can't join them as I still have to look after the Princess."

Ying Yi nodded again.

"Xiao Ying Yi, you might get bullied by the other physician, and I won't be around to protect you. Do you think you will be alright?"

Ying Yi thought over it for a moment and nodded.

"Then, I will talk to the Head Physician," Mingyue said.

They turned around and was about to leave towards the herbs garden when Mingyue noticed a familiar figure, leaning on the wall with his eyes closed.
