Chapter four 

Strangely enough, Fan Zhong had cut short his lessons today. And Ying Zetian is now looking at Fan Zhong who is feeling the pulse of the kid she had saved. And Ying Zetian knew that her teacher is suffering from his occupational sickness again. Fan Zhong always have a problem of trying to keep the people around him healthy.

Ying Zetian looks in curiosity at Fan Zhong when she saw how excited he was behaving. From the short time that Ying Zetian had known Fan Zhong, she knew that when her teacher gets excited means that he has meet a new sickness. Fan Zhong ran out to a small medical field that he has planted behind the school and ran back into the room holding an herb in his hand.

"Disciple of mine, do me a favor and start to boil water enough for two wooden tubs. And also use a screen to separate the two tubs. I need to mash up a new mixture of herbs. This is so as both of you need to take a long medical bath. The kid that you bought today is also suffering from a poison that have been in his body even since he was born. Also do take a bath before both of you can go into the medical bath. The two of you must be prepared for serious pain if both of you wanted to push the poison out of your body. As the medical bath is also named the death bath. And as its name, both of you could guess the effect that it will have on your body. But teacher have no choice. If not both of you only have a maximum of a year lifespan left only."

There is a small river running through Changan from Ying Zetian memories and this river is behind the school. As the weather is quite warm, Ying Zetian is just purely lazy, so she pushed that kid into the water and jump in after him. Once Ying Zetian saw that both of them is clean, Ying Zetian along with the kid started to boil water for their medical bath. It was only at this type of time when Ying Zetian really misses modern home facilities.

Ying Zetian was purely basing on her memories to go around this school. If based on her modern world memories, Ying Zetian knew that she will have a serious hard time surviving in this world. While working, Ying Zetian finally has the time to speak with the kid. The kid is actually six years old and quite smart. He told Ying Zetian of his past. This kid name is Tang Wudi and the adopted son of the mama-san and owner, Tang Ying, of the most famous brothel in Changan, the Qing brothel. Of course, being the owner of the most famous brothel in Changan also means serious jealousy from other brothels in the capital.

It was also well known that despite being adopted, Tang Wudi is well love by Tang Ying and not only that, Tang Wudi is the only child also. And this is why there was an assassination attempt on him yesterday in order to let Tang Ying suffer emotionally and thus bring her down. Instantly, Ying Zetian knew it will be seriously hard to bring Tang Wudi back to his Tang Ying.

Ying Zetian console Tang Wudi by the fact that she will try her best to bring him home. And in the meantime, Tang Wudi could stay with her and also go through the correct medical treatment for his poison. During the whole process of Ying Zetian working, she pinches the still baby chubby cheeks of Tang Wudi as he was just too cute. Tang Wudi despite being six years old was just behaving too much like an adult. Of course, in the future, Ying Zetian never knew that Tang Wudi will become more childish when he is older.
