Chapter 103: Not Here
Yunshu Palace.
Emperor Xuande looked at Concubine Li, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and a weak breath, and turned around and threw the medicine bowl with a wave of his sleeve, "A bunch of useless people!"
The imperial doctors in the room knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Among the many voices, a clear and beautiful female voice stood out.
"Keep your voices down, don't disturb Concubine Li."
Song Yanxi walked quickly past the crowd and, under the angry gaze of Emperor Xuande, gently placed her hand on Concubine Li's pulse.
So hot!
She quickly turned her head and looked at the kneeling doctors, and asked, "Does anyone here have silver needles?"
The imperial doctors did not recognize her, but thinking that she had come in with Emperor Xuande, someone hurriedly brought his medicine box over.
Before she could make a move, Emperor Xuande asked in a deep voice, "Girl, how sure are you?"
Song Yanxi: "Eighty percent."
Hearing this, the imperial physician holding the medicine box almost couldn't hold it steady, and his eyes suddenly widened.
Where on earth did this girl come from? Postpartum fever is such a dangerous symptom that several doctors are unable to do anything about it, and she is so arrogant that she says it is 80% certain?
The imperial doctors in the room also secretly raised their heads, wanting to see what kind of person could dare to speak so arrogantly in front of the emperor.
How many heads does this girl have?
Without even looking up, Song Yanxi said coldly, "I'm going to undress Concubine Li and give her acupuncture. All outsiders, please stay away."
Dehai glanced at Emperor Xuande and saw that he didn't say anything, so he quickly asked someone to take the imperial doctors away, leaving only a few palace maids to serve them.
While the palace maid was undressing Concubine Li, Song Yanxi looked at Emperor Xuande who was sitting beside her and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please move aside."
"Can't I bear to see it?" Emperor Xuande was displeased.
Song Yanxi explained, "Empress Li just gave birth to the prince and has not yet fully recovered. I'm afraid that she may have disturbed Your Majesty by spotting."
Emperor Xuande frowned, said "Do your best to treat him", and stood up and left.
When Song Yanxi was giving acupuncture to Concubine Li, she noticed that one of the palace maids had a strange look in her eyes, so she slightly changed her acupuncture technique to ensure that her identity would not be exposed.
As the last needle was injected, Concubine Li slowly woke up.
Those beautiful eyes turned, and when they saw Song Yanxi's face clearly, they blurted out, "Miracle doctor!"
Song Yanxi hurriedly stopped her from getting up and reminded her, "Your Majesty, there are needles on your body, don't move."
Concubine Li blinked at her, and when she came to her senses, she felt soaked all over, as if she had been caught in the rain and had no strength to move.
She stopped the maid who was about to go out to report to Emperor Xuande, "Don't invite Your Majesty in yet."
Concubine Li smiled at Song Yanxi and said softly, "Excuse me, Doctor. I don't want His Majesty to see me in such a state of disgrace."
"How could that be? Your Majesty's frail appearance now is still so pitiful and beautiful that it makes me feel pity for her." Song Yanxi said sincerely.
She had been looking at Yan Qing's stunning face every day since she was a child, and her vision was quite picky. However, when she saw the cold and elegant Concubine Li, her eyes couldn't help but light up.
The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any decoration, which probably describes such a woman.
Concubine Li was amused by her serious look and then she remembered to ask her why she was in the palace.
Looking at her smiling face, Song Yanxi was in a trance for a moment. She felt that when she smiled, she looked a little similar to Zhuang Shihan, but when she didn't smile, they were not alike at all.
Thinking that this might be an opportunity, Song Yanxi simply told the whole story of her entry into the palace and Emperor Xuande's opposition.
Concubine Li pondered for a moment and asked, "My Lady, do you need my help?"
Song Yanxi was surprised and said, "If Your Majesty is willing to help, I will be very grateful."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Li frowned and looked unhappy.
She said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for your help, how could I have given birth to the emperor's child safely? Where do you put me with these words?"
Afraid that her emotional excitement would harm her health, Song Yanxi hurried to comfort her.
Little did they know that the conversation between the two had already reached the ears of Emperor Xuande word for word.
Without his order, Dehai quickly called Eunuch Qi and asked him to check the palace maids and guards who accompanied Concubine Li on the day she left the palace, and even did not let go of the two imperial doctors.
After the people left, Emperor Xuande spoke quietly, "There's no need to go to so much trouble. She's just a little girl, there's no need for so many twists and turns."
"Your Majesty is right. I acted on my own initiative." Dehai said, pretending to apologize.
Emperor Xuande waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to do this.
Dehai couldn't help but chuckle, and stepped forward and said, "Princess Yong'an's medical skills are truly unexpected. I just heard Doctor Wang asking others about the princess."
"Oh? What did you find out?"
"We're all doctors, and it all comes down to the same old things. Just thinking about stealing their skills!"
Among so many people serving in the imperial court, Dehai was the first one who dared to speak to Emperor Xuande in such a tone.
Even his name was given by the emperor himself.
Emperor Xuande was not angry, and said meaningfully: "This girl from the Song family is indeed quite capable. You can try to find out if she is interested in joining the Imperial Hospital later."
There were only a few female Chinese medicine practitioners in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and there had never been a female imperial physician before. This was a first in history.
"Then I, this old servant, would like to thank His Majesty on behalf of the princess!" Dehai said with a smile.
Emperor Xuande glanced at him sideways and said coldly, "It's too early for you to say thank you."
Based on his understanding of Yan Yichuan, the granddaughter he raised must have a bad temper that cannot be restrained even by three bulls.
He was right. When Song Yanxi heard it, she refused without hesitation.
De Hai couldn't figure it out, so he dismissed everyone in the pharmacy and then spoke: "The princess's medical skills will never be displayed if she is trapped in the backyard. Why not enter the palace and earn an official position for herself?"
Song Yanxi paused holding the pestle and said calmly, "That's not my ambition."
The palace was just a larger harem, and even if she had no intention of seeking revenge, she had never thought of taking this path.
There are many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and she is not needed.
Compared with these nobles, she would rather treat ordinary people whose illnesses cannot be cured or who have no money to treat them.
Although one person's strength cannot save everyone in the world, it is possible to save as many people as possible.
Dehai sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty is right. The princess's temper is indeed somewhat like that of Old Master Yan in his youth."
Upon hearing this, Song Yanxi smiled but said nothing.
At dusk, Dehai arrived at Yunshu Palace with a lot of rewards, including some gold, silver and jade articles, a thousand taels of gold and a golden plaque with the words "Miraculous Doctor Bringing Back Spring" written by Emperor Xuande himself. However, he did not mention that she was going with the army to the battle.
After she received the order, Concubine Li, who had regained her spirits, called her to the bedside and ordered the maid, "Dress me up. I am going to see His Majesty."
