Tian An looked at the man and saw that he was in a good mood. He nodded and said, "Exactly. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Seeing Tian An nod, the man's attitude became more respectful. "We have an emergency patient. Please come with us as soon as possible."
Tian An took a look at their attire and the aura around them, frowning and asking, "Which family are you from?"
The man said bluntly: "From the palace."
"In the palace?" Tian An paused, then asked, "What evidence do you have?"
The man didn't waste any time and quickly took out a dragon-shaped topaz from his lapel and showed it to Tian An.
Tian An had seen this piece of jade before. When the hot pot restaurant opened, the emperor wore this piece when he went to the restaurant for dinner.
Therefore, the one who sought her out for medical treatment was the current emperor.
Tian An turned his head to look at the royal procession that had already gone away, and was immediately confused. Wasn't the emperor sitting in the dragon chariot?
Before she could think clearly, the man opposite her began to urge her, "The patient's condition is urgent, please go quickly."
"Let me explain to my family first."
Since the palace came to invite someone, she had to go this time. However, although the other party took out the emperor's personal jade pendant, she still had to be careful.
He asked Taoxiang to go back home to report her whereabouts first, and asked Jifeng to notify Zhao Yiming.
Tian Ancai turned to look at the man and said, "Let's go!"
Several men immediately led Tian An and the other two deeper into the alley. "Time is urgent, please come with us on horseback. The horses we have prepared are at the other end of the alley. Please follow me."
The group walked quickly to the entrance of the alley and saw one of their companions waiting there with a few horses.
However, they only brought one extra horse. Tian An and Deng Xue could ride on the same horse, but Jing Yu had no choice.
Just as the leading man on the opposite side was about to speak, Jing Yu said to Tian An, "Miss, please go ahead. I will find a way to catch up."
Seeing this, the man ignored him and raised his hand for everyone to mount their horses. He and two of his men led the way, Tian An and Deng Xue walked in the middle, and arranged two more to cover the rear.
They knew the imperial city very well. They sped along the way and were able to quickly find shortcuts with few people and short distances. They managed to reach the palace gate smoothly in the shortest time.
After Tian An and the others dismounted, Jing Yu appeared from nowhere. The leading man glanced at him without saying anything, then led Tian An towards the palace gate.
But when they entered, the soldiers guarding the gate stopped Deng Xue and Jing Yu.
When the two saw that they couldn't follow Tian An in, they suddenly became anxious.
Tian An turned around, patted Deng Xue's hand, and said soothingly, "Just wait for me outside, you two."
After a brief explanation, Tian An followed a few people into the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw a young eunuch under the eunuch chief, Eunuch Defu, anxiously guarding a luxurious sedan chair.
Seeing them coming, he hurriedly trotted over to greet them, "My lord, you are finally here. Come on, follow me into the sedan chair first."
As he helped her sit in the sedan chair, Tian An's heart began to feel uneasy as the sedan chair rose and fell slightly.
Nanny Xiao had told her that, except for a few special nobles and great contributors who had received special permission from the emperor, no one else was allowed to ride in a carriage or sedan chair in the palace.
The first time she entered the palace, she rode in a sedan chair. She didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse!
Tian An didn't dare to make any big movements, so he could only gently lift a corner of the curtain and secretly look outside.
The palace maids and eunuchs passing by on the clean and tidy palace road all had their heads lowered, and even the footsteps of the people carrying the sedan chair were almost inaudible along the way.
In the winter, not even the chirping of insects could be heard in the palace. Apart from the occasional whistling of the cold wind, it was so quiet that one could not help but feel a little scared.
Soon, Tian An was taken to a magnificent palace. When she got off the sedan chair, she deliberately looked up at the plaque above the palace gate, which read "Kunning Palace".
Although it was her first time entering the palace, when she was in the mansion, Nanny Xiao told her some common sense about the palace, so she knew that Kunning Palace was the queen's bedroom.
When they were outside the palace, the palace servants looked normal, without a trace of abnormality, but as soon as the door opened, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The palace maids and eunuchs were busy coming in and out, not daring to breathe.
As soon as Tian An arrived in the hall, he saw several imperial doctors anxiously discussing something in a low voice outside, all with serious expressions on their faces.
Tian An's heart became more and more uneasy. Before she could think about it, she heard an angry shout from the inner room: "Hasn't the person been picked up yet?"
The young eunuch who came to pick her up knelt on the ground with his legs weakened, and reported loudly to the inside: "Your Majesty, the lady has arrived."
Hearing the emperor's voice, Tian An didn't have time to think about why the emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chariot and accepting the worship of the people on the street, would appear here, when he heard the emperor say: "Come and see the queen's injury first."
Tian An responded and was about to go in when she heard the eunuch whisper to her, "My Lady! When you go in, be careful and don't offend the emperor."
Tian An smiled and nodded at him, "Thank you." Then he walked into the inner room.
As soon as I approached the inner room, a strong smell of blood hit me in the face. Once I went inside, the smell became even stronger, just like being soaked in blood plasma.
"Girl, I heard that you can cut open a person's stomach and head and then sew them together. Come and show me the queen." As Tian An entered the room, he heard the emperor say anxiously with red eyes.
Faced with such a strong smell of blood, Tian An didn't even bother to greet the emperor, and ran straight to the queen's bed, "Let me take a look first."
When Tian An saw the queen lying on the bed, his heart sank. She was already unconscious. Her usually graceful and elegant face was now bloodless and as white as a piece of paper.
Her stomach had been slashed horizontally with a sharp weapon, her internal organs faintly visible. Bright red blood continued to flow out, and no matter how the maids sprinkled hemostatic medicine on the wound, it was of no use.
Tian An frowned as he watched. The person who did this had no intention of leaving anyone alive!
Faced with such a serious injury, Tian An, who was suffering from occupational disease, did not care about the emperor beside him, and directly ordered the palace maid beside him:
"First, someone go to the palace gate to find my maid to do a blood type comparison and give Her Majesty a blood transfusion as soon as possible.
The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't bring my suturing tools with me. You should go to the Imperial Hospital's Doctor Qin and borrow the surgical tools I gave him earlier."
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a bottle of medical disinfectant from his bag and handed it to a palace maid. "Everyone else should go out first. Leave two people to spray this in the hall."
The scalpel and other items were, of course, in her space, but she couldn't take so many things out of her small bag in front of the emperor, otherwise the emperor would be suspicious of her. Fortunately, the disinfectant was not big, so it was not surprising to take it out of the bag.
After giving all the instructions, Tian An did not delay any longer. He turned around to wash and disinfect his hands, put on medical gloves, and began to prepare for the suture operation.
