Chapter 646: Not Like a Living Person
Doctor Wang nodded and explained, "The reason this old minister remembers it so clearly is not only because of the quarrel between the Emperor and Empress, but also because of Your Majesty's pulse.
According to the rules, this old minister must take your Majesty's pulse every two weeks and write down the pulse records in a book for easy reference later."
Knowing that Song Yanxi would most likely want to see it, Doctor Wang took the initiative to say, "Princess, please wait a moment. I will have someone fetch it for you to examine."
Song Yanxi nodded and said, "There's no rush for the pulse diagnosis. Doctor Wang, could you please explain why His Majesty's pulse is so strange?"
"This..." Doctor Wang's face showed more hesitation.
But then he thought again, he had already said everything he should and shouldn't have said, so it didn't matter if he said a few more words.
If Your Majesty really wanted to blame him, he would not let him off just because he said one less word.
Thinking of this, Doctor Wang decided to go all out, stroked his beard and said, "I have lived for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of pulse.
It’s neither true nor false, it’s like…”
Doctor Wang froze, and said with an unpleasant expression, "Princess, what we said today must not reach His Majesty's ears.
I am already this old, and before I die, I just want to have a good end."
Song Yanxi said, "Don't worry, Doctor Wang, what you said today will never reach His Majesty.
If you don't believe me, I swear on my life."
As for the others, she was afraid she couldn't guarantee it.
After all, Mo Jinchuan was standing outside the door, and An Yi was not far away.
Even if there were any of the Royal Guards with excellent hearing skills who were highly skilled in martial arts, it would be impossible for them to hear even a word or two.
But there was one thing she was sure of.
No matter who heard these words, no one would be stupid enough to show off in front of Emperor Xuande.
The more you know about things that damage the royal reputation, the faster you will die.
With Song Yanxi's words, Doctor Wang relaxed a lot, and said with a slightly strange expression: "In the past two years, I have read countless medical books and have never found this kind of disease.
Until one day, a child at home found a notebook from somewhere. It recorded an extremely rare poison, and the pulse condition after poisoning was like this.
The book says that this kind of pulse, which is neither strong nor weak, and even somewhat difficult to feel, does not resemble that of a living person."
"Poisoned?" Recalling Emperor Xuande's pulse, Song Yanxi said with certainty, "Your Majesty's current pulse does not indicate poisoning."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang's expression became even weirder.
He explained, "Your Majesty's pulse was too alarming at the time. I consulted with the Imperial Hospital staff and had no choice but to administer a strong dose of medicine.
It has the effect of detoxification and regulating the body, which should be a prescription that kills two birds with one stone.
However, no one knew why His Majesty's condition suddenly worsened after taking the medicine and he vomited blood continuously.
If Master Yan hadn't heard the news and gone to the palace that night to speak to His Majesty, it's doubtful whether His Majesty would have survived that night."
Song Yanxi: “…”
She didn't know that her grandfather's words could have such great power.
That night, he probably fed the medicine he had kept for his life into Emperor Xuande's mouth.
This old man clearly saved someone, but he refused to accept the favor.
It is no wonder that he, a man who gave up martial arts to go into business, could become a close friend of her master who practiced medicine to help the world.
Thinking of something, Wang Taiying asked tentatively, "Princess, I just heard Doctor Xi say that only your acupuncture method can avoid hurting Your Majesty's internal organs.
I, this old minister, would like to ask, what is the relationship between Huangfu Huai and the princess?"
Song Yanxi: "It's my master.
Hearing this, Doctor Wang showed an expression of enlightenment and sighed, "No wonder Doctor Xi was so sure. Only the princess's arrival can turn the tide.
If he can't even help Huangfu Huai's apprentice, then mediocre people like me can only watch helplessly."
Hearing his high evaluation, Song Yanxi felt embarrassed for a moment and hurriedly helped him to sit down.
Doctor Wang waved his hand and said, "Princess, please don't worry. If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Fearing that his attitude might change too quickly and arouse suspicion, he explained, "My Lady, you may not know that when I was young, I was just a wild boy from the countryside, totally unaware of the world.
If I hadn't accidentally met the divine doctor Huangfu and discovered my interest in pharmacology, I wouldn't have chosen the path of a doctor."
Thinking of something, he said excitedly: "If it weren't for the two medical books that Divine Doctor Huangfu gave me that day, I wouldn't have been appreciated by His Majesty during his tour and entered the palace to serve just because I happened to know a little bit about it.
There would be no such status as it is now."
Song Yanxi said, "The fact that Imperial Physician Wang can become the Supreme Court Judge is the result of your hard work over the years. Master is just a guide."
Doctor Wang, however, didn't think so and hurriedly asked, "How is Divine Doctor Huangfu these days?"
Song Yanxi smiled faintly and said, "Master has always been in good health. He runs around the back mountain several times every day, so he is naturally in good health."
Hearing this, Doctor Wang couldn't help but smile, and said with shame: "Dr. Huangfu told me to run a few laps when I was young, and I still remember it and can run.
Now that I’m old, I really have no strength left. I can’t run even if I want to.”
He couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, "I don't know if I'll have the chance to see Divine Doctor Huangfu again in this lifetime.
If I could see it, I would be able to die with peace of mind."
Song Yanxi's mind moved slightly, and she said, "Yes, maybe after some time, I'll be able to see him."
Doctor Wang smiled, stroked his beard, and said, "In that case, I will borrow your auspicious words."
He glanced at the door and lowered his voice, "Princess, there is something I need to hear from you."
"Doctor Wang, just speak frankly."
"Your Majesty..." Imperial Physician Wang paused and said with difficulty, "May Your Majesty know the result of your pulse diagnosis just now?"
Seeing Song Yanxi nod, he couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is a rare wise ruler. If possible, I would rather give him the rest of my life.
It’s a pity that humans can’t defy fate.”
When Song Yanxi heard this, she didn't know how to start for a moment.
But there was one thing she had to admit.
Emperor Xuande may not be a competent person towards his wife and children.
But to the people of Da'an, he was a conscientious emperor who was worthy of all the people.

The Princess's Mansion.
"Why are you telling me such an important matter only now?" Princess Huayang put on her shoes and stood up, her elegant face full of anger.
Qingque helped her dress and explained, "Dehai said that your Majesty's bedroom is sealed tightly, and all the imperial physicians are detained inside, not a single one has been released.
If it weren't for the cleverness of the people below, who managed to get the message out by water, I'm afraid we wouldn't have heard the news until after the morning court."
Princess Huayang frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Where are the two children from the Jinchuan Mansion now?"
