Chapter 358 Feeling Uneasy
The Queen Mother's pulse diagnosis has always been handled by the old imperial physician Yu. Once there is any problem with the Queen Mother's health, no matter what the reason, he will be the first to be held accountable.
Why would he do something that would bring suspicion upon himself?
He is the best physician in the Imperial Hospital and has good character, otherwise the Queen Mother would not trust him so much. But why did this happen?
It is even more impossible that he, an extremely experienced imperial physician, would prescribe the wrong medicine due to negligence!
This is medicine for the Empress Dowager. Even if it is a prescription written by him, it must be reviewed and signed by at least two imperial physicians before it can be considered valid.
The emperor was so distraught that he simply stopped thinking about it. He was so angry and heartbroken at the time that he didn't care about anything else. He was furious and attacked the old doctor Yu. The old doctor committed suicide, which was equivalent to committing suicide out of fear of punishment. In his anger, he confiscated the Yu family's property and exiled them. So many years had passed since the incident, and no matter what the truth was, it didn't matter anymore.
But every time he thought about it, he would still feel very unwilling and helpless. His mother was gone just like that.
Even if it wasn't Doctor Yu's fault, it was still his fault that he didn't discover the problem in time. His death was not unjust at all!
The news that the emperor ordered Zhao Xiang to bring Yu Xiaofang, the grandson of the old imperial physician Yu, to the palace for medical treatment reached Guanju Palace that same day.
Concubine Yan, who was drinking tea, was so startled that she knocked over the tea bowl in her hand.
The sweet white porcelain tea bowl with gold rims fell to the ground with a crisp sound, which made Concubine Yan's heart beat violently.
"What's going on? Find out carefully and tell me everything!"
"yes."
"Go!"
"yes"
Doctor Yu, Doctor Yu! So many years had passed, so long ago that she had almost forgotten this person. Unexpectedly, his name appeared again!
Grandson? What grandson?
Didn't all the direct descendants of the Yu family die on the way to exile? Where did this grandson come from?
Concubine Yan was restless and anxious.
After a while, the person who had inquired for the news finally came back. Faced with Concubine Yan's unpleasant expression, he did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly told everything.
In fact, Zhao Xiang and the emperor did not say much about this matter, because neither of them took it too seriously, and their attitude towards the discussion was very relaxed and natural.
Isn’t it just seeing a doctor?
The emperor was superstitious about it, so he gave up. The emperor didn't care, so he asked someone to go to the palace.
That's all.
Concubine Yan was a little confused when she heard this. "That's it?"
Concubine Yan had something to hide and subconsciously thought the matter was too serious and didn't believe it at all.
"Yes, my lady."
"But you've inquired carefully. Did you miss anything?"
"Your Majesty, I have inquired carefully and there is nothing missing."
Concubine Yan was stunned for a long time before waving her hand to send the person away.
She couldn't help but call Shu Min over again and scolded her.
Didn't Shu Min go to Lingnan? Didn't she go to Yancun? Not only did she send back false news, but she also failed to discover such an important matter!
Shu Min kowtowed repeatedly to apologize, slapping herself in the face, feeling so wronged. That was more than ten years ago, who could remember it?
This kind of thing, unless you can discover something by extremely lucky coincidence, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to discover anything!
My lady, this is really wronging him.
The situation had already become apparent, and Concubine Yan's scolding of Shu Min was merely a venting of anger, which was actually useless. After a while, she drove the man out and pondered in silence.
Concubine Yan gritted her teeth, she couldn't afford the gamble.
The emperor cannot see that kid from the Yu family!
Who knows if that kid has anything the old doctor left behind? What if he takes it out during the audience? Even if the emperor doesn't believe it, who can guarantee that he won't have any ideas?
When the Empress Dowager passed away, the Emperor was so sad and angry that she was still afraid when she thought about it now.
At that time, she even secretly regretted that she was so bold as to take action. If the emperor found out, she would be doomed!
fortunately
God was on her side at that time.
But the emperor had already said who he wanted to see, so she didn't dare to take action now. Zhao Xiang, Zhou Hansheng and others must be on guard, so even if she ordered someone to take action, it might not succeed.
It is more likely to alert the enemy.
Concubine Yan can only start with the emperor.
Concubine Yan, dressed up, went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to look after the emperor.
While trying to coax the Emperor into a good mood, Imperial Concubine Yan pretended to smile casually and said, "Lord Zhao is truly loyal to His Majesty, and no one else can compare to him. Does His Majesty really want to allow that person from the Yu family to come into the palace for treatment?"
The emperor glanced at the imperial concubine, nodded and said "hmm", without saying anything more.
In his opinion, this was a very small matter and not worth talking about.
But Concubine Yan, who had something to hide, didn't think so. She grew increasingly uneasy. Did the Emperor have any idea? Did he suspect her of something? So, was he unwilling to tell her in detail?
"Your Majesty," Noble Concubine Yan smiled softly, "Your Majesty's health is of paramount importance. You cannot afford to be careless in the slightest! In this matter, I think Lord Zhao has been somewhat inappropriate. How can someone from the Yu family be qualified to treat Your Majesty? The Yu family boy grew up as an exile in Lingnan. Who knows what kind of temperament he has developed. And with his family... If he harbors resentment and hatred, wouldn't that be dangerous? He is a doctor after all. Who knows what hidden tricks a doctor might have? What if he does something? Your Majesty, I am truly worried!"
"Why not just let this matter go? The doctors at the Imperial Hospital are the best doctors in the entire Qin Dynasty. It would be better for Your Majesty to relax and rest well. Didn't the doctors at the Imperial Hospital say that Your Majesty's illness was caused by overwork? Why should we let outsiders who don't know the basics randomly diagnose you? Not everyone is qualified to treat Your Majesty."
Concubine Yan had a smile on her face and spoke in a sweet and gentle voice. At the beginning, the emperor also had a smile on his face, but as he listened, he didn't know when the smile disappeared from his face.
Concubine Yan didn't notice it and was still talking non-stop.
When she accidentally caught a glimpse of the emperor's ambiguous expression, her heart trembled. She quickly stopped herself and stopped talking. She smiled softly, "Your Majesty, although I have little knowledge, I am sincerely doing this for your own good! Your Majesty, please listen to me. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
The Emperor withdrew his gaze and sneered, "So what if I let him take a look? I'm afraid of him? Haha, what a joke! I'm actually quite curious about how he has such courage. I also want to see what he looks like."
