However, the youth always hope that they can pursue their ambitions. After entering the palace, Meng Fuji’s father seemed to be a little disappointed in him, and the relationship between both father and son was not as close as before.
Meng Fuji’s young age was naturally incomparable to the highly experienced Imperial Doctors in the palace. In fact, he wasn’t really contributing much, and sometimes he wondered if the path he chose was really wrong.
But after hearing what Lin Feilu said, he was reminded exactly of the mindset he should have as a doctor, it coincided with the idea that his father taught him initially.
He didn’t know which predecessor had such an admirable concept and enlightenment.

Lin Feilu obediently said: “I’ll go back to look for it. If I can find it, I will give it to you, big brother.” She blinked a few times, tilted her head and asked innocently: “But big brother, as doctors, will all of you follow this oath just like how it was written in the book?”
Facing the little girl’s sincere and admiring eyes, Meng Fuji was a little embarrassed, but he still honestly replied: “This lowly official is definitely not as good as this senior with noble medical ethics, but I will regard him as my role model and exercise strict self-discipline.”
The little girl’s beautiful eyes were starting to water. She looked around and found that there was no one around, so she quietly waved to him and whispered: “Big brother, get down, I want to tell you something secretly.”
Meng Fuji couldn’t help being amused by her cuteness, and leaned down as he followed her orders.
The little girl leaned on her tiptoes to his ear and whispered in a soft, petty voice: “Big brother, I just saw that the royal hostage of the Song Empire was injured. He looked so pitiful, but the previous doctors didn’t give him a good treatment. Can you help him?”
After she finished speaking, she put her two small hands together and said softly, “Please, please.”
Meng Fuji had just been stunned by the vow of a doctor and felt moved as he started to rethink the concepts of his life. At this time, he saw that although she was young, her heart was so kind. Hence, he immediately said: “Naturally! The benevolence of the doctors should be so!”
The little princess looked at him with glistening eyes without blinking, “Big brother, you really are a very good doctor!”
Meng Fuji was slightly embarrassed by her praises.

So, when he walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, he said: “Princess, this lowly official will go in and treat him. It would be inconvenient for you so please go back first. The princess can rest assured that this official will live up to your trust.”
Lin Feilu nodded happily and bounced away.
Meng Fuji then straightened his clothes and knocked on the door of the Cuizhu Villa.

On the second day, Lin Feilu went to the Imperial School to attend the Imperial Classes. Song Jinglan didn’t show up as he requested for a leave, unknown as to how long he had to stay in the house to recover. Lin Jiwen was still loudly boasting about his heroic deeds of knocking Song Empire’s royal hostage down yesterday with a few punches.
Lin Jingyuan leaned forward with the book in his arms and sat next to Lin Feilu. Seeing her unhappy expression, he poked her and said, “Little Lu, what’s the matter with you?”
Lin Feilu folded her hands on the desk, resting her chin on it and said angrily, “I don’t like him!”
Lin Jingyuan glanced behind him: “You mean second brother? He is this kind of character after all, so let’s just ignore him.”
