The Queen Mother drank the porridge with a bland taste.

Emperor Jingxuan was a little embarrassed, but he had gotten used to it over the years.

Princess Jingning bowed and saluted: "Father."

He also bowed to the queen who was following behind him, "Mother."

The Queen Mother glared at Princess Jingning.

Princess Jingning continued to feed porridge calmly.

Eunuch Fu took small steps and quietly approached Emperor Jingxuan, and reported in a low voice: "The Queen Mother can hear, she is no longer dizzy, and can eat."

Emperor Jingxuan was in a complicated mood.

He hoped that the Queen Mother could be cured, but at the same time he didn't want this girl to cure her.

after all--

"After all, your father agreed so readily, not because he trusted her or respected Xiao Chonghua. It was because if she couldn't cure the disease, your father could sentence her to death and use her life to force Su Cheng to hand over his military power."

After Emperor Jingxuan left, the Queen whispered to Princess Jingning outside the screen.

Princess Jingning agreed with this.

The Queen glanced at Su Xiaoxiao who was listening to the Queen Mother's heartbeat behind the screen and said, "This girl's medical skills are surprising."

Princess Jingning puffed out her chest proudly.

She said, "Mother, please go back to Kunning Palace. I will accompany the Imperial Grandmother tonight."

The queen knew that she was accompanying her classmate, so she didn't point it out. She just nodded and left with the palace maids.

Halfway through, a young eunuch hurriedly came up and reported: "Empress, His Majesty... has gone to Qixiang Palace."

Qixiang Palace was the residence of Concubine Xian, and Emperor Jingxuan had not been there for a while.

The queen didn't care much and said, "I know."

Seeing how calm she was, Aunt Mei couldn't help but get worried for her: "Your Majesty, it took a lot of effort to make Concubine Xian fall out of favor, we can't let her be favored again! Think of a way to get His Majesty to Kunning Palace?"

The Queen said calmly, "Hasn't he come here enough these days?"

…

The Queen Mother lay on the wind bed, watching Su Xiaoxiao wrapping her arms with strange strips of cloth and using her inner strength to swell the strips of cloth—

In fact, it’s not internal force, it’s the blood pressure monitor and the air bag that is inflated.

The Queen Mother didn't understand, so she thought it was internal strength.

Then she saw the little girl put a cold little thing into her clothes and touched her chest.

"You...don't be so presumptuous!"

She gritted her teeth.

Doctor Su said seriously: "This is an examination. Don't move. Take a deep breath. Inhale——"

The Queen Mother glared at her and took a deep breath.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Exhale——"

The Queen Mother stared and exhaled.

After repeating this several times, Su Xiaoxiao put away the stethoscope.

It took the empress dowager a long time to calm down her impulse to issue an imperial decree to execute Su Xiaoxiao.

She said calmly: "Girl, you haven't told me what your relationship with Su Huayin is."

Su Xiaoxiao opened the medicine box and put the stethoscope in it: "Oh, she is my grandmother."

The Queen Mother was slightly startled: "Your father is Su Cheng? Are you the girl who grew up among the common people?"

"yes."

I didn't expect that even the Queen Mother had heard of her. Was she famous enough to enter the palace? The Queen Mother looked at Su Xiaoxiao's round face and said, "You look... so much like your grandmother..."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Does the Queen Mother know my grandmother?"

The Queen Mother did not say anything further.

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression and said, "Go away. Don't come to treat me in the future. You can't cure me."

…

The Queen Mother was exhausted and went to rest after finishing her porridge.

Princess Jingning walked into the house, followed by Taozhi.

"Are you hungry?" she said. "Go eat something."

"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao followed her to the side hall next door. Princess Jingning left Taozhi and the eunuch in charge to look after the empress dowager.

The two men sat down on stools, and the eunuch who was serving them opened the food box and brought out several plates of steaming dishes.

"You eat too." Su Xiaoxiao said to Princess Jingning.

"I've eaten." said Princess Jingning.

After a pause, he said to the young eunuch, "Give me a bowl of soup."

The young eunuch served her a bowl of black chicken soup.

Princess Jingning took a sip and asked Su Xiaoxiao, "How is my grandmother's condition?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "To be honest, the situation is not very good."

Princess Jingning wondered, "Isn't she able to hear now? She's not dizzy and vomiting anymore."

Su Xiaoxiao explained: "Otolithiasis is a sudden illness. What really made the Queen Mother sick was irreversible aging and excessive worry accumulated over time."

It’s somewhat similar to depression in my previous life, but not exactly the same.

Princess Jingning said: "The imperial physician also said it was a heart disease."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Mental illness is one of the reasons. Physical discomfort will aggravate her mental illness to some extent."

This was the first time Princess Jingning had heard such a statement: "So, my grandmother can still be saved?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "I need to look at her medical history and medical records before making a detailed treatment plan."

Princess Jingning said: "This is not difficult. The Imperial Hospital has records."

Su Xiaoxiao paused, then said calmly, "Also, if it's convenient, I hope you can tell me the reason for the Queen Mother's worry."

Princess Jingning did not doubt him and said helplessly, "In a few days it will be the anniversary of the death of Prince Nanyang. The Queen Mother gets sick around April every year, and this year is the worst. In fact, as long as she can get through April, she will feel better."

The entire family of Prince Nanyang was exterminated in April. When the news reached the capital, the wailing in Yongshou Palace lasted all night long.

Emperor Jingxuan originally wanted to announce the crime of rebellion committed by Prince of Nanyang to the world, but the Queen Mother threatened to commit suicide.

"You've already killed your eldest brother, and you still think it's not enough. You want to leave him with an infamy that will last for eternity and make him despised by future generations! You might as well kill me too!"

The fact that Prince Nanyang was rebelling was thus kept secret.

The world is so big, there are many people who know the truth, and there are even more people who are not.

At first, some people were asking around, but as time went by, no one paid attention to the truth about the Nanyang Wang family.

Only the Queen Mother will forever bear in mind the pain of losing her sons and grandsons.

Su Xiaoxiao murmured thoughtfully: "Nanyang Palace..."

There is a little princess living in the Nanyang Palace.

Does the Queen Mother know about this? -The imperial doctors packed up their things and left the palace. Hu Jiusheng also got on the carriage back home with a gloomy face.

"Wait." Halfway through the journey, he stopped the driver and said, "Let's go to Renxin Hall."

The driver asked, "Sir, which Renxintang?"

They have opened several Renxintang stores in Beijing.

"From Zhuangyuan Street." said Hu Jiusheng.

Quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the door of Renxin Hall. The driver brought a footstool and Hu Jiusheng got off the carriage with an expressionless face.

Hu Biyun was checking the medicinal materials in the warehouse. When she heard that her father was coming, she quickly put down the work at hand and went to the accounting office on the second floor.

"Why are you here so late, brother?"

Mr. Hu gave up his chair and respectfully made a pot of tea for Hu Jiusheng.

Hu Jiusheng didn't drink tea because it was hard to fall asleep at night.

"Dad." Hu Biyun stepped inside.

Hu Jiusheng hummed.

Shopkeeper Wu looked at the three of them and smiled: "I'll go downstairs to help."

Only the Hu family members were left in the room. Hu Biyun spoke up, "Dad, are you here to get some herbs? Does the Queen Mother's illness require any rare herbs?"

Hu Jiusheng frowned and said nothing.

Hu Biyun and Hu Erye gradually realized that something was wrong.

Mr. Hu asked, "Brother, what happened?"

Hu Jiusheng did not answer him, but asked: "Is there a female doctor named Su next door? Is she from the Huguogong Mansion?"

Hu Biyun frowned and asked, "Why did Dad suddenly ask about her?"

Hu Jiusheng looked at his daughter and asked, "Do you know him?"

"A classmate of Gongxue." Hu Biyun said indifferently.

She now hated Su Xiaoxiao so much that she didn't want to mention her at all.

Hu Jiusheng asked: "Then do you know that she knows medical skills?"

Not only did he know, but he was also fooled by her?

I didn't mention Hu Biyun because it would be embarrassing to mention it.

Hu Biyun said: "The first class next door was opened for her by the Qin family."

In Hu Biyun's opinion, it was impossible for Su Xiaoxiao to come up with such a large sum of money on her own. It must have been the money given to her by Qin Canglan.

Hu Jiusheng said, "I was downstairs just now and saw that there were more patients next door than in Renxin Hall."

Mr. Hu said, "Brother, don't be fooled by them. They are all hired by them. Not many of them are real patients."

Hu Jiusheng said calmly: "Really?"

Mr. Hu said, "Of course! Our Renxintang is the largest clinic in the capital, and you are the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital. Who else can open a clinic next door to us? No matter how many fakes they hire, it will be useless. After a long time, their half-baked medical skills will not be able to fool people!"

Hu Jiusheng looked at him coldly: "You mean... the medical skills that cured the Queen Mother's ear disease... are half-baked medical skills?"

Mr. Hu was shocked.

Hu Biyun was horrified: "Father...they...came to the palace to treat the Queen Mother?"

Hu Jiusheng said: "It's not them, it's that little female doctor."

Hu Biyun clenched her fingers: "Su Daya is just an apprentice of a small town doctor. What qualifications does she have to treat the Queen Mother?"

Yes, what qualifications did she have? But she cured it and it worked.

Hu Jiusheng did not come here to publicize Su Xiaoxiao's glorious deeds to others.

He asked, "I heard her master's surname is Fu, what's his name?"

"What is this? I really don't know." Mr. Hu scratched his head and glanced out the window. "Brother, it's him!"

Doctor Fu went to the cloth shop opposite and exchanged silver for some copper coins and was on his way back.

As if he sensed the strange scrutiny, he raised his head and glanced towards the second floor of Renxin Hall.

Hu Jiusheng also happened to come to the window.

Eyes met.

Hu Jiusheng's brain suddenly buzzed.

Fu Sheng!

Doctor Fu's biological son! That girl is his apprentice?

"Are you mistaken?" Hu Jiusheng absolutely did not believe that Fu Sheng could teach such an outstanding apprentice, and he did not believe that Fu Sheng had the courage to return to the capital.

Mr. Hu said, "You are not mistaken. He is the master of that girl."

Hu Jiusheng clenched his fist tightly.

How is this possible?

He himself couldn't even cure the empress dowager, so what qualifications did Fu Sheng's disciple have?

It's obvious that Fu Sheng's medical skills are not as good as mine!

It seems that the girl cured the Queen Mother's otolith disease, which was a lucky coincidence!

Xiao Feizhang, thank you for your rewards and monthly tickets
