Chapter 640: As long as you guys take the blame for me, what’s the harm in death?
Upon hearing this, Xi Yuan slowly raised his eyes and glanced at him, then said in a cold voice, "I specialize in women's internal medicine, and I'm not good at anything else."
Doctor Qi's forehead was bulging with anger, and he cursed, "Why don't you ever say this kind of nonsense when you're showing off your medical skills in front of others?"
Thinking of something, he narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "In my opinion, it's not that you can't cure it, but that you don't want to cure it!"
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the people around him changed.
Someone hurriedly said, "Doctor Qi's words are too serious. Old Xi specializes in gynecology. We all know this."
"Your Majesty is ill, and it's normal for everyone to be worried, but you really can't say such things carelessly."
"Didn't Eunuch De go to invite Princess Yong'an? If she arrives, she will definitely be able to discuss a solution."
Doctor Qi was furious after hearing this and said with a cold face, "You keep calling her Princess Yong'an. She just taught herself medicine for a few days and was lucky enough to find the herbs to treat the epidemic.
People who have studied hard for many years pin their hopes on a woman and are not afraid of being laughed at if the news gets out.
I want to see if anything happens to His Majesty, and whether you can still stand firm."
Xi Yuan asked coldly, "Why? Is Doctor Qi different from us?"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Qi's face suddenly darkened, "Mr. Xi, stop trying to sow discord here.
Everyone knows that your nephew has a close relationship with Princess Yong'an, so it's normal for you to protect him."
Xi Yuan's face immediately darkened. He walked over, grabbed his collar, and said, "If you have the guts, say what you just said again."
Doctor Qi stiffened his neck and asked, "What's wrong? Did someone hit you so hard that you got so angry that you wanted to hit someone?"
Xi Yuan couldn't help but sneer, loosened his hand and said: "If I hit you, I'm afraid I'll get my hands dirty."
Doctor Qi was a hot-tempered person to begin with. When he heard this, he immediately became furious and rushed forward to hit Xi Yuan.
The imperial physicians nearby hurriedly stopped him and tried to persuade him.
What he said was nothing more than some polite words to calm him down. They were both old and it wasn't worth it to fight over such a small matter.
The most important thing right now is Your Majesty's health.
If they can't come up with a recipe, they might all lose their heads.
Doctor Qi couldn't help but sneer, frowning and asking, "Even the great doctor Ren Xi isn't anxious, so why should we, who aren't skilled in medicine, be anxious?"
Hearing his words becoming more and more outrageous, the imperial physician beside him scolded him, "Imperial Physician Qi, be careful with your words.
Those words just now are enough for His Majesty to execute your entire clan."
Doctor Qi also realized something belatedly and said with a grim expression, "It was the Xi who went too far in bullying me. I was so angry that I lost my mind and spoke without thinking."
Xi Yuan glanced at him and said coldly, "You have poor medical skills and a bad temper. I really don't know who selected you to be the imperial physician. They were really blind."
The fact that his medical skills were not as good as his had always been a hurdle that Doctor Qi could not get over, and he could not even bring it up.
He can say that his medical skills are not very good, but that is just modesty.
But if it came from someone else's mouth, it would be a slap in his face and a naked humiliation.
Doctor Qi's lips trembled with anger. He pointed at Xi Yuan and said tremblingly, "Xi, you are going too far!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes went dark and he fell straight forward.
Fortunately, his colleagues nearby were quick to act and prevented him from falling headfirst.
The two imperial doctors who were supporting him were on the verge of tears. They looked at Xi Yuan and asked, "Master Xi, what should we do now?"
The best doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were Doctor Qi and Doctor Xi Yuan. Even Doctor Wang, the most experienced judge, felt inferior to them.
Especially for this kind of emergency, he would have to think twice before using medicine and was far less bold than them.
Seeing someone fainted from anger, Doctor Wang had no choice but to place all his hopes on Xi Yuan.
He looked at Xi Yuan and asked, "What does Doctor Xi think of the emperor's condition?"
Old Xi turned his head and glanced towards the door, then said slowly, "No rush."
Hearing the words "don't worry", Doctor Wang felt a black screen before his eyes and almost fainted from anger.
He is already old and has great-grandchildren all over the place. He doesn't want to get into trouble like this at the last minute.
Doctor Wang took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "Doctor Qi is always like that. Don't take it personally.
If His Majesty's body is damaged, I'm afraid our entire Imperial Hospital will be buried with him."
Knowing Xi Yuan's strange temper, he changed the subject and said, "If you can heal His Majesty this time, I will resign and recommend you as the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital."
Before Xi Yuan could speak, Doctor Wang continued, "I know you have always been indifferent to fame and fortune and don't like these empty names.
But the Xi family has only produced one imperial physician like you over the years. If you can take this position, it will be a great fortune for the younger generation."
Doctor Wang's voice was so low that Xi Yuan thought he was hallucinating.
Is this old man using his position as a judge to fish?
A few years ago, he heard that he intended to resign.
I don't know if it's because he doesn't have a mouth, or if the position of court judge is as heavy as Mount Tai and is really hard to give up, but he has been clamoring for several years and still sits firmly in this position.
If he agreed, wouldn't he be so angry that he would cry in front of his wife when he got home?
Xi Yuan stroked his beard and said meaningfully, "You're right."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang secretly thought that this was not good.
Sure enough, the next moment he heard Xi Yuan say nonchalantly: "Life is short, just live happily, who cares about the younger generation?"
Without waiting for Doctor Wang to retort, he asked again, "If I really cared about my descendants, shouldn't I marry a few more beautiful concubines and give him eight or ten sons?"
Doctor Wang was almost mad to death by his words.
He just had a few more sons, so why did they dig up his ancestral grave?
This Xi Yuan is like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard!
Listening to the sound of armor clashing as the imperial guards moved outside, Doctor Wang said with a grim expression, "I don't want to chat with you. If your Majesty is alright, everything is easy to discuss.
But if anything goes wrong, no one here today can escape."
Xi Yuan said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, you guys will take the blame for me. What's the harm in dying?"
"You!" Doctor Wang, nearly fainting from anger, clutched his chest and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you waiting for Princess Yong'an because you're holding back?"
Xi Yuan nodded and frankly admitted, "I have examined your Majesty's pulse before. Only Princess Yong'an's acupuncture technique can heal your Majesty without injuring your internal organs."
Although Imperial Physician Qi fainted, some people were still dissatisfied and murmured, "The acupuncture techniques of Imperial Physicians Wang and Qi are both unrivaled in the Imperial Hospital. Princess Yong'an is so young, is it possible that her skills can surpass those of the two?"
The person who spoke was the apprentice of Doctor Qi.
Seeing his master faint from anger, and Xi Yuan insisting that Emperor Xuande's illness could only be cured by Song Yanxi, he naturally felt dissatisfied.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he coughed lightly and said, "I don't look down on Princess Yong'an, it's just that she is still young and a woman.
Even if I have some talent, how can I be compared with the two highly respected imperial physicians Qi and Xi?"
