"Empress!"
As soon as Doctor Meng entered the room, he put down his medical box and knelt in front of Concubine Lin, "Your Majesty, you have suffered!"
He is the imperial physician supported by the Lin family, and also the deepest-buried connection of the Lin family in this palace.
Even the emperor doesn't know that he is from the Lin family!
Concubine Lin looks much more haggard. She used to be so high and mighty, like the proudest peacock in the world!
But now, even the puppies on the roadside dare to come up and bark at it when they see it.
"The suffering I've endured is nothing compared to what my father and brother have endured. Doctor Meng, I went to great lengths to get you in because of one thing."
Imperial Physician Meng quickly said, "Your Majesty, please speak. I will not hesitate to die!"
All his family members are members of the Lin family, but because their blood relationship is distant, few people know about it.
Outsiders only thought that he was valued by Concubine Lin because of his excellent medical skills, but what they didn't know was that he had already boarded the Lin family long before entering the palace.
Concubine Lin's eyes were cold. Compared to her previous madness, she was now frighteningly calm.
"Take this letter out for me. Once they see it, they'll know what to do."
Imperial Physician Meng had never seen Concubine Lin with such an expression before, and he swallowed nervously, "I dare to ask what instructions are contained in this letter?"
Concubine Lin glared at him fiercely, "Now even you don't want to listen to me?!"
After being confined to her house, those who once fawned over her left her one after another.
Even the Imperial Household Department changed its attitude in an instant, and rejected all requests from the palace in the name of the Queen all day long.
It wasn't the first day that she knew the true faces of the people in the palace.
She once thought it was natural, but when it really happened to her, she realized how unbearable it was!
So, after seeing that Doctor Meng was trying to refuse, her anger continued to spread from the bottom of her heart, and even her eyes began to burn.
Do these people think that the Lin family has fallen, so they start doing whatever they want?!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am where I am today thanks to you and the Lin family. I will never forget it."
Doctor Meng observed Concubine Lin's reaction as he spoke. Seeing her chest gradually calm down, he continued, saying:
"But since the Majesty has been confined to her house, the guards are keeping her under strict surveillance. I am worried that this letter cannot be taken out."
Now, Concubine Lin has not been brought to justice, and the Lin family's hopes all rest on her.
Not only were Fenglinwei on guard against her leaking information to the outside world, but the people in the harem were no exception.
The one in the central palace seems calm and doesn't care about anything, but Doctor Meng knows that her people have been watching here the whole time!
Concubine Lin was persuaded by Imperial Physician Meng. Indeed, there must be countless people waiting to catch her in the act.
If this letter was found when Doctor Meng was out, not only would Doctor Meng be exposed, but she would also lose her only chance to pass on the message.
"I'm sorry, I was worried about my father and brother. I was really anxious."
Even Imperial Physician Meng felt deeply moved that the high and mighty Concubine Lin had to apologize in a humble manner.
He shook his head, indicating that he didn't care. "Please tell me, Her Majesty, that leaving no trace is the safest way to pass it on."
Concubine Lin nodded and waved her hand, signaling Imperial Physician Meng to come over.
She lowered her voice and whispered.
Doctor Meng's expression also changed from calm and composed at the beginning to surprise and fear!
"Mother?!"
Doctor Meng was so frightened that he was speechless, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Concubine Lin simply glanced at him indifferently and said, "He is unkind and I am unjust, so what's wrong with that?"
At this moment, Doctor Meng suddenly remembered a saying - never offend a woman!
"I understand."
When Doctor Meng went out, the guards came forward to search, even his medicine box was not spared. They took out every medicinal ingredient and looked at it to see if there were any marks or engravings on it.
"What are you doing? Be careful, that ginseng is for the Queen Mother. Can you afford to take responsibility if something goes wrong?!"
When Doctor Meng saw that his medicine box had been moved, he jumped up and down anxiously.
"If I had known it would be so troublesome, Meng shouldn't have come here today!"
The guards let these words go in one ear and out the other, not taking them to heart at all.
If something goes wrong, they really can't afford it, so they can only conduct a more rigorous search.
"It's okay. I'm just doing my job. I hope Doctor Meng will forgive me."
Although Doctor Meng did not have a noble family background, he was highly valued in the Imperial Medical Bureau because of his superb medical skills.
Recently, the Empress Dowager has been frequently summoning Imperial Physician Meng, saying that only the prescriptions he prescribes are effective.
The guards did not dare to offend him, and after confirming that there was nothing suspicious, they politely sent the man away.
After Doctor Meng returned to the Imperial Hospital, he continued to do what he was supposed to do, but he would complain from time to time about his experience of treating the imperial concubine today, letting everyone else know that he was resentful.
"Doctor Meng, you're off duty so early today?"
When people who knew him met Doctor Meng, they would smile and joke. Doctor Meng was usually the last one to leave the Imperial Hospital. In fact, he left at the normal time today, but others always felt that he left too early.
"My wife is not feeling well. Go back and take a look at her." Doctor Meng sighed and forced a smile. "This is just my normal shift. How can it be considered early?"
Yes, most of the others had left, and even though Doctor Meng arrived earlier than usual, he was still later than the others.
The person asking the question finally realized what was going on and immediately felt respect for Doctor Meng.
Doctor Meng is indeed a man of high moral character. I didn't realize it before, but now I understand. It turns out that Doctor Meng has put so much into the Imperial Hospital...
No wonder all the concubines in the palace wanted to see him.
After saying goodbye to his friend, Doctor Meng returned to his own house.
The reasons he gave to the outside world were not fabricated.
His wife had indeed been unwell recently and was recuperating at home. However, when he returned, he did not visit his wife first, but went to his own pharmacy instead.
As an imperial physician, Dr. Meng was also used to handling medicinal herbs when he was at home. So he set up a small pharmacy at home, and he took care of all the herbs in it himself.
At the back of the shelf in the pharmacy, there is a small jar.
The small jar was old and looked quite old. Doctor Meng took it down, wiped off the dust on it, and opened it.
There was only a small token inside, clean as new.
Doctor Meng solemnly took out the token and put it close to his body.
The sunset outside was slowly setting, just like his heavy heart, which had already fallen to the bottom of the valley.
All his current achievements were indeed given by the Lin family, and what he said to Concubine Lin was also his true words.
He indeed owed the Lin family all this, and now was the time for him to repay the favor...
