Xie Yuan recognized Physician Feng's talent and wanted to recruit him.
"Oh? And what about this Physician Feng? Is he in He County?"
Xie Yuan handed the rabbit over to Ruyi to take care of, then turned to look at Huang Shouye.
"exist!"
Excitement gleamed in Huang Shouye's eyes.
Immediately afterward, Huang Shouye knelt down with a thud, pleading, "Your Highness, please save Physician Feng!"
Xie Yuan was taken aback.
Could it be that something happened to Physician Feng?
Huang Shouye deliberately mentioned this exiled imperial physician in front of her, also with the intention of using him.
Xie Yuan was not angry with Huang Shouye because of this.
Firstly, everyone has selfish desires.
Judging from Huang Shouye's behavior, he and Physician Feng must be good friends.
It's understandable to use one's host's property to help a friend.
Secondly, Xie Yuan valued talent even more.
If Physician Feng was truly a highly skilled physician with an experimental spirit, Xie Yuan would be willing to be "used".
Furthermore, if Physician Feng truly has value, then Huang Shouye's words and actions would not be considered exploitation, but rather "recommending the worthy without regard to kinship."
Xie Yuan's stunned silence led Huang Shouye to misunderstand.
He knew that his queen was an extremely intelligent woman.
I knew she wouldn't be able to hide my little scheme from her.
But he really had no other choice.
Old Feng is on the verge of death. If we don't find a way to save him soon, he... he will...
"Your Highness, Physician Feng's medical skills are truly excellent. Moreover, he is a very kind person."
“After arriving in Yuezhou, he himself struggled to make ends meet, but he would still provide free medical treatment to poor people.”
"...Waaah, please, please save him."
“Our Prince’s residence probably doesn’t have a personal physician yet. Physician Feng was originally a physician in the Imperial Physician’s Palace. Letting him enter the Prince’s residence wouldn’t be an insult to Your Highness or you!”
Huang Shouye pleaded desperately, giving all the reasons he could think of.
"Huang Shouye!"
Xie Yuan rubbed his forehead and called out in a deep voice.
Huang Shouye was startled, thinking he had angered the princess.
He raised his head and looked timidly at Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan was speechless.
"Would you like to tell me about Physician Feng's condition?"
They only asked her to save people, but didn't say what was wrong with Physician Feng or how she could save him.
Furthermore, even if someone is talented, Xie Yuan still needs to judge their character.
If this person is of bad character and does something they shouldn't do, Xie Yuan shouldn't abuse his power to oppress them because of his warped values.
"..."
Huang Shouye then realized what was happening. He secretly wiped his sweat and said urgently, "It's like this. Physician Feng's medical skills are excellent, and his reputation is also outstanding. Many people from He County and the surrounding counties and towns come to him for medical treatment and medicine."
"The county magistrate of He County, Lord Zheng, had heard of Physician Feng's reputation. Coincidentally, one of his concubines was ill, so he invited Physician Feng to his home to treat her."
"But that concubine was wicked, and Physician Feng inadvertently got involved in the private affairs of the inner quarters."
"Doctor Feng was an upright and benevolent man. He was unwilling to help the concubine prepare harmful pills, so he offended her."
"If Master Zheng were reasonable, it would be fine, but he is a scoundrel who favors his concubine over his wife. He believed his concubine's nonsense and even blamed Physician Feng for not being skilled enough, and punished him by making him kneel outside the county office as a public example."
A heavy shackle weighing over ten kilograms was fastened directly around Physician Feng's neck.
Physician Feng was already nearly fifty years old, and this cruel torture took away half of his life in just one day.
"...Master Zheng said he would punish Physician Feng by making him wear shackles and displaying him in public for three days. He wants Physician Feng dead."
"It's a pity that such a good doctor as Physician Feng has been framed by villains one after another, and now his life is hanging by a thread."
"Your Highness, I know that Master Zheng is not someone to be trifled with, and I also know that the Prince's Mansion is in a difficult situation, so it is not advisable to easily provoke trouble."
"But...but Physician Feng is truly a good person, and his medical skills are truly excellent!"
"Your Highness, I beg you! Please save him."
After saying this, Huang Shouye kowtowed heavily, his forehead turning bruised.
Xie Yuan raised an eyebrow; she wouldn't listen to just one side of the story.
She will send someone to verify what Huang Shouye said.
If Physician Feng is truly innocent, even if this person is not talented, she will still try her best to save him.
She is not a saint; she cannot save all the suffering people in the world.
But since I've encountered this situation and still have the ability to help, I should lend a hand.
However, what Xie Yuan truly cared about was a certain remark made by Huang Shouye—
"Master Zheng is not to be trifled with, and the Prince's Mansion is in a precarious situation!"
Yes, after arriving in Yuezhou, Xie Yuan and Helian Jue had already reached a consensus—to develop in a low-key manner and make a fortune quietly.
However, this does not mean that Princess Xie or the entire Yue Prince's Mansion is weak and easily bullied.
That so-called Master Zheng is nothing more than a county magistrate, a minor official of the eighth rank.
As for Xie Yuan, she was the First-Rank Princess Consort, appointed by the Emperor himself.
Between her and "Master Zheng," who is more respectable and who is less so? Who is more difficult to deal with?
Xie Yuan stared intently at Huang Shouye, not missing a single micro-expression.
A moment later, Xie Yuan was certain that when Huang Shouye said that, he wasn't deliberately provoking anyone, but rather just saying it casually out of habit.
But it is precisely these "casual remarks" that are most authentic.
Because this reflects his true inner thoughts.
In other words, in the eyes of people including Huang Shouye, the Yue King's Mansion had no status.
Even a minor county magistrate wouldn't dare offend him.
Xie Yuan: ...I'm so angry!
"Zheng Yurong, send someone to investigate!"
