Chapter 192: Humiliation of an Old Friend
Yu Shengsheng remembered this young doctor.
I've seen him several times before when I was at the Queen's Villa.
The painter she followed was ill and often had attacks, and no one in the Imperial Medical Service was willing to go to such a place, so they sent some people with little qualifications.
This young doctor is the one who goes there the most.
Yu Shengsheng was often injured and received a lot of help from this young doctor.
She hurried over and helped pick up things on the ground.
The doctor tilted his head to look at her, and recognized her, his eyes showing a hint of joy: "It's you."
When the people inside came out and saw Yu Shengsheng, who was not dressed fancy, they thought she was a palace maid.
"Get out of here! How dare you help him? I think you are..."
Out of the corner of his eye he saw the red sleeves billowing like waves, and he was so startled that he quickly turned his head to look over there.
"Commander-in-chief! You are so honored to be here. Why are you in the Imperial Hospital? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Fu Qingyin twirled the ring in his hand, his tone cold: "What do you think she is? Keep talking."
"I dare not, I dare not, I did not know I was your man, I am sorry for the offense, I deserve to die."
After saying that, he hurried over to help Yu Shengsheng pick up things.
Yu Shengsheng said to Fu Qingyin: "Commander, I want to talk to this doctor for a few words."
Fu Qingyin nodded, and Yu Shengsheng said, "Doctor, what should I call you? I have a small question about pharmacology and would like to ask you a question. Is it convenient?"
"Okay, this way please."
The two walked down the stairs and to a tree nearby.
Fu Qingyin tilted his head to take a look, then walked into the Imperial Hospital.
Yu Shengsheng lowered his voice and asked, "Doctor Yao, why did they bully you?"
Yao Mengchen smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it's the same everywhere. I have little talent, and my master is gone. It's not my turn to check the pulse of nobles. These are nothing."
"What brings you here?"
"I came to the Imperial Hospital to check something," Yu Shengsheng looked around, "Have you seen a little palace maid? Her name is Xing'er. She should have come here to get medicine."
“Xing’er?” Yao Bu’ran’s expression changed slightly, and his eyes avoided Yu Shengsheng, “I…”
Yu Shengsheng observed his expression and reminded him, "Xing'er is dead."
Yao Mengchen was stunned.
"And she died by jumping into a well. Her death is definitely not simple. It involves many things and many people. You must not be confused for the moment."
Yu Shengsheng spoke as he glanced inside. From their angle, they could just see Fu Qingyin's figure.
She didn't say it, but Yao Mengchen understood.
It must be no small matter to be able to get the commander of Zhenqiao Tower to come in person.
It was not something that a marginal imperial physician like him could afford.
"Xing'er is my fellow villager. She did come to me... to get medicine," Yao Mengchen's voice was full of bitterness. "She was just a little palace maid. In the imperial concubine's palace, she was the youngest one."
Yu Shengsheng was slightly surprised: "In the Imperial Concubine's palace? Isn't she in Concubine Wang's palace?"
"It was later that I went to Concubine Wang's palace. I was in Concubine Shu's palace at first," Yao Mengchen pursed his lips and paused for a moment. "She was pregnant and was at a loss. She wanted to use extreme methods to abort the baby. It happened that I went to deliver medicine to the master in the harem that day and met her, so I stopped her."
"She was very scared and begged me, so I softened my heart and agreed to give her the abortion drug."
Yao Mengchen turned his eyes away and looked into the distance: "I know this is against the rules. If I am found out, I might even be implicated, but at that time... she was too pitiful. I really couldn't just stand by and watch."
Yu Shengsheng's throat was blocked: "Where is that man? Do you know who he is?"
Yao Mengchen shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "She didn't say anything, so how could I ask about this? I helped her with the abortion, and luckily everything went well, so that was the end of it. Not long after that, I heard that she went to Concubine Wang's palace."
"I think her life should be better."
Yao Mengchen didn't explain in detail, but Yu Shengsheng knew it well. Concubine Shu was arrogant, while Concubine Wang looked kind. In comparison, the servants should have an easier life.
Yu Shengsheng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you taken her pulse?"
Yao Mengchen nodded: "Of course, we need to determine whether she is pregnant and how long she has been pregnant. We need to consider this when using the medicine."
"When you took her pulse, did you find that she had any other illness?"
Yao Mengchen frowned slightly: "Other diseases? What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything, I just want to know more. Is she sick?"
"When I took her pulse..." Yao Mengchen thought and shook his head firmly, "No, she was a little thin and weak, nothing else. I also secretly added a few slices of ginseng to her tonic medicine."
He added: "I paid for it myself, I didn't steal it."
Yu Shengsheng looked at him seriously and thought about Xing'er's tragic death. Perhaps this was the only warmth she felt before she died.
"I believe it," Yu Shengsheng smiled, "Doctor Yao, you are a good person."
Yao Mengchen blushed: "No, I didn't do anything. How are you? I went there later and heard that you were picked up by your family."
Yu Shengsheng laughed to himself: "It's a long story. Don't tell others what I asked you just now. If someone asks, just say, I asked you whether the two herbs, winter frost and black grass, can be boiled together."
"good."
Yu Shengsheng's eyes were on Fu Qingyin. He was flipping through the booklet of the Imperial Hospital and had almost finished reading it.
She went to meet him, and Fu Qingyin turned and walked out of the Imperial Hospital.
Fu Qingyin didn't look at her and got into the carriage directly, and Yu Shengsheng followed.
The moment the curtain was lowered, someone from the Imperial Hospital was heard calling Yao Mengchen.
"The medicine is covered in dust, come in." His attitude improved a lot.
Yu Shengsheng curled her lips slightly, Fu Qingyin leaned against the pillow and turned the ring lightly: "Do you know him?"
Yu Shengsheng came back to his senses: "Replying to the commander, I have received some favors from him before. He is a good person."
Fu Qingyin smiled: "Good guy?"
I have never heard that there are good people in this imperial city.
"What did the good man say to you?"
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips, pretending not to hear the sarcasm in his tone: "Doctor Yao said that he did abort Xing'er's pregnancy, but Xing'er was really pitiful, and he couldn't bear to see it."
"Commander, Doctor Yao has good intentions," Yu Shengsheng said in a low voice, "I know I can't hide this from you, but I hope you can be lenient with me."
Fu Qingyin remained silent, so Yu Shengsheng had to continue, "Xing'er was originally in the palace of Concubine Shu, and later went to the palace of Concubine Wang."
"Noble Concubine Shu," Fu Qingyin said slowly, "It's related to her again."
"Could it be that she really framed the prince?"
"What do you think?"
Yu Shengsheng clasped his hands together and quickly went over the matter in his mind.
"Noble Concubine Shu has a scent that neither the Queen nor the Crown Prince can touch. She also learned that Concubine Wang is pregnant and intends to get rid of her. It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she deliberately framed the Crown Prince, killing two birds with one stone."
"Xiang, and Xianglan who was beside her, can serve as evidence. Now add Xing'er who was by her side."
"All pointed at her."
Fu Qingyin looked at her, and Yu Shengsheng looked up and looked at him: "However, things are going too smoothly, which makes people suspicious."
