Chapter 573 The Divine Physician Magpie: Hey, come back alive!
"Bitch! It's all that bitch's fault for trying to kill me! When I see her, I'll make her pay."
As Jiang Nuanzhi walked from the emperor's bedchamber toward the Imperial Hospital, she could clearly hear Zhao Yuniang's cursing voice through the high palace walls.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked up and exchanged a glance with Lin Chun beside her, and surprisingly saw a hint of helplessness in the other's eyes. They had indeed been bothered by too many people all day, and for a moment, upon hearing these words, neither of them felt like retaliating.
However, the next second, as the group walked past the hanging flower gate, Jiang Nuanzhi and Lin Chun met Zhao Yuniang and her group in a staring contest.
Across from her, Zhao Yuniang's hair was disheveled, her face swollen like a pig's head from numerous slaps, and her hands hung limply at her sides, as if her joints had been dislocated. She was being half-supported, half-carried by a group of palace servants. Surprisingly, even in such a state, she was still thinking of cursing.
The air seemed to fall silent for a moment, and the next second, Zhao Yuniang saw who was in front of her clearly and roared in a sharp voice, "You bitch! Are you laughing at me now? You just wait! As long as I'm in this palace, you bitch, you'll never get ahead!"
As she spoke, she stared at Jiang Nuanzhi with a sinister look.
In fact, the way she looks now, with that expression, really makes her look like Zhao Si possessed.
Jiang Nuanzhi almost burst out laughing.
She shook her head and reached into her clothes to feel around. She found something hard and was about to take it out.
"How dare you!" However, the moment his hand moved, Zhao Yuniang screamed in fright: "I am the princess's aunt! If you dare to hurt me, I will make you regret it! Don't forget that your little slut is my Niu Niu's study companion! If you dare to hurt me, I will definitely have Niu Niu kill her!"
Jiang Nuanzhi almost laughed at Zhao Yuniang's stupidity. She originally wanted to take out a mirror to show her what she looked like, but now she was too lazy to bother. She just said, "Look at you, you look like neither human nor ghost. Do you think you're in your own backyard? If you don't leave, I'll break your jaw too, so you won't make a fuss."
Clearly, Zhao Yuniang was still traumatized by her previous experience of having her jaw dislocated.
She forced herself to remain calm, swallowed hard, then clenched her fist and spat, "You little punk, Jiang Pangya, you just wait!"
Then, she tried to turn around, but failed twice. She then glared fiercely at the palace servants beside her, saying, "What are you all doing? Hurry up and help me back! No, help me to the Imperial Concubine's place!"
Then, he left, cursing and swearing, as if fleeing with the help of palace servants.
"I didn't expect the Grand Princess to spare her life. This is not like the Grand Princess's usual way of doing things." Lin Chun glanced at Zhao Yuniang's back and said, "Master, if Zhao Yuniang really wants to make a move against our young lady, we should be on guard."
"Let's see if she has the ability," Jiang Nuanzhi said noncommittally.
Jiang Nuanzhi pondered that Zhao Yuniang seemed to know some plot details, but not all of them. She was probably either a reincarnated character or someone who transmigrated into a book. But judging from her words, the reincarnation aspect was more likely.
If she guessed correctly, Zhao Yuniang knew perfectly well that Baozhu was the real princess. Therefore, as long as Baozhu was around, Zhao Yuniang probably wouldn't be able to sleep well.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if it's just for show, Baozhu won't be harmed. Besides, Xuan Ting is watching her too. She can't cause any trouble."
As they were talking, the two entered the Imperial Hospital.
Just then, several imperial physicians came out from the doorway, and Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and nodded to them.
The people opposite, however, looked at Jiang Nuanzhi as if she were a formidable foe, and immediately took a detour.
Even after they had walked a distance, a few people huddled together and whispered among themselves.
Lin Chun, the guard, squinted his eyes: "What are you doing, gentlemen?"
The imperial physicians behind her were so frightened that they took several steps back, bowed respectfully to Jiang Nuanzhi from a distance, and then ran away.
Behind them, they encountered two more imperial physicians, who were exactly the same as the previous ones.
Lin Chun clenched her fists so hard they cracked. She walked up to someone and grabbed them, demanding, "Tell me, what happened!"
"My lord, please spare me! I know nothing!"
"Linchun, let's go." Linchun wanted to ask more, but Jiang Nuanzhi waved her hand.
Lin Chun took a deep breath, released the little eunuch, and followed Jiang Nuanzhi into the Imperial Hospital, grinding her teeth.
The little eunuchs behind him all ran off and disappeared.
The legendary physician, Que, had been waiting for Jiang Nuanzhi for a long time. Upon seeing him from afar, she immediately came over to greet him: "Physician Jiang! Physician Jiang! You've finally arrived! Please take a look at this for me!"
As he said this, he handed over a miscellaneous booklet.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced down and saw that it said "a revitalized divine grass," then laughed and said, "Let's eat first, Grandpa Que, I'm starving."
Even though the divine physician was so anxious he was scratching his head, he was at a loss and could only watch helplessly as Jiang Nuanzhi sat down with him.
A short while later, Jiang Nuanzhi's food was served. After seeing the dishes clearly, the surroundings fell silent for a moment.
There were only a few white steamed buns on the table, along with a small plate of green vegetables and a bowl of soup with some vegetable leaves floating in it, which looked about the same as dishwater.
"Outrageous! Outrageous! Is this food for people?" Doctor Que frowned deeply. "Are the people in the imperial kitchen stupid? Do they think this is for the palace servants?" He said, glancing disdainfully at Jiang Nuanzhi's table. "The palace servants don't eat this."
Sanqi was helping Doctor Que grind the medicine when she heard this. She glanced at it, pursed her lips, and said, "How could it be a mistake? This is just deliberately making things difficult for people."
"Who wants to make things difficult?" Doctor Que frowned deeply.
Sanqi scratched his head and said, "Even if it's difficult, does it have to be over such a trivial matter? Isn't this just deliberately trying to annoy people?"
"What a trivial matter? A trivial matter my foot!" Doctor Que understood: "Since someone is making things difficult for you, why don't you hurry up and arrest that little eunuch and interrogate him! Ask him if this is the kind of food a sixth-rank official in the imperial court is given on his table? These people are simply lawless!"
"Yes, Grandmaster."
"Forget it, forget it!" Jiang Nuanzhi sighed. "I'm exhausted from arguing all day. I can't eat now, but I'll just mooch a meal off Doctor Magpie later."
Before long, the food prepared by the magpie doctor was served.
Clearly, the food prepared by Doctor Que was on a completely different level from Jiang Nuanzhi's. In fact, they were worlds apart. The table was piled high with food.
An awkward silence fell over the surroundings. Jiang Nuanzhi glanced around but was quite satisfied. She picked up her chopsticks and said, "That's just enough for us. Thank you, Doctor Que. Linchun, come and eat."
As he spoke, he put chopsticks in her mouth and served her some food.
Lin Chun held the meal that Jiang Nuanzhi had portioned for her. Her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
The more she thought about it, the more indignant she became. This trip to the palace was truly frustrating. Everyone relied on the lady's medical skills, yet no one had shown her any kindness. On the contrary, she was constantly being harassed.
Even she felt wronged, so what about the lady?
The lady smiled broadly, but the gloom in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
The lady herself probably didn't realize that she, who used to love eating, now eats hastily. In the past, when she ate a bite of her favorite food, she would unconsciously shake her head and sway her body, her eyes and brows filled with a satisfied smile.
Feeling a pang of heartache, Lin Chun bent down to serve Jiang Nuanzhi her meal. Before long, Jiang Nuanzhi's bowl was filled to the brim with food.
Jiang Nuanzhi ate and drank her fill in one go, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked at Doctor Que with a smile: "Doctor Que, are all the booklets from the past few days here?"
The magpie doctor immediately perked up and brought over all the books.
The two compared the useful methods they had found over the past two days and eliminated them one by one. Then they went back to the book.
In reality, while Jiang Nuanzhi was outwardly flipping through various medical and witchcraft books, she was actually waiting for her oranges to mold.
If penicillin can be successfully extracted, the Emperor's worsening wounds can be significantly improved. However, his organ failure is beyond human control.
However, the legendary physician Que is still enthusiastically flipping through medical books, trying to find a breakthrough.
While everyone was silently engrossed in reading, a palace servant suddenly entered through the door and reported back.
"Physician Jiang, there is a man outside who claims to be a servant of the Regent's Palace, acting on the Regent's orders. He has come to escort you into the palace for a consultation."
Jiang Nuanzhi stretched and, seeing that it was almost time, got up.
"Dr. Jiang, where are you going?"
The divine physician, whose eyes were fixed on the book, immediately stood up when he saw Jiang Nuanzhi move beside him.
"It's getting late, I need to go to the Regent's Palace."
"The Regent's Palace?" Doctor Que hadn't quite caught up with what the palace servants had said, but now that he heard it from Jiang Nuanzhi's mouth again, his voice suddenly rose eight octaves: "You mean the Regent's Palace!"
"How novel is that? You've been there before."
Jiang Nuanzhi stood up and brushed her robes: "I will probably go to the palace again tonight to pick up the children. If Physician Que has anything to say to me, please wait a little while."
"No! If you go to the Regent's Palace, do you think you'll come out alive?"
Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes: "You wish me well, okay?"
He then waved his hand and left with Lin Chun.
"Hey, Doctor Jiang, come back alive! If you can't, I'll let Sanqi go with you!" Doctor Que couldn't help but shout at Jiang Nuanzhi's retreating figure from afar. But the person in front didn't reply and walked straight away.
Doctor Que frowned deeply, watching Jiang Nuanzhi's retreating figure with great concern.
"Grandmaster."
A sinister voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling Doctor Que. He turned around and met Sanqi's lifeless eyes.
"Ahem, if you don't want to go now, why don't you go later? We can't let anything happen to Dr. Jiang!"
"Ahem, I almost forgot, I still have one booklet to finish reading." With that, he turned and walked away, slowly using a fallen book to cover his face.
Sanqi: "."
Dr. Jiang's life is precious, but your own life isn't, right?
Physician Jiang is currently helping the Regent's Palace with medical care. Xiao Yuanshan probably won't harm her, but what about himself? Huh?!
Sanqi: Grandmaster, where is your conscience?
