Chapter 198 Is there anyone who treats a doctor like this?
Maohua Palace.
The bathroom was filled with hot steam, and Qingyi sat by the bathtub and sprinkled flower petals into the water.
The fragrance of flowers filled the air. Chun Zhaoyi tied up her long hair and sat in the bathtub, closing her eyes in enjoyment, revealing only her round shoulders and delicate collarbone.
Qingyi took out a piece of ink-colored jade and placed it in the bucket. "The water soaked with this medicinal jade can regulate the body. Madam, you spent a lot of effort to find this small piece. Your Majesty, soak it more often. Who knows, you may soon conceive a little prince."
"You're so talkative." Chun Zhaoyi glared at her, but her hand under the water stroked her lower abdomen, and she hoped in her heart that the medicinal jade would be effective.
"Your Majesty will surely fulfill your wish." Qingyi took a handkerchief and went over to wipe her back. "Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand."
Chun Zhaoyi was playing with the water and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qingyi said, "Noble Lady Dou has often opposed the Empress in the past. She has only brought this upon herself. Even His Majesty has ignored her, so why would the Empress help her?"
"The Queen isn't helping her at all." Concubine Chun chuckled, pinching a red petal and lightly brushing it against her collarbone. "Our Queen is no pushover. Do you think she's happy to be such a good person? She's just trying to please His Majesty and gain a good impression."
Qingyi was getting more and more confused. "Your Majesty wanted to kill Concubine Dou, so why did he want her to live?"
"That day, one thing after another was quite strange. With Your Majesty's shrewdness, how could you not see it? You were simply being deliberately confused and going with the flow. Your attack on Dou Jingwan was just a momentary impulse."
Chun Zhaoyi dipped into the water and watched the petals sink into it and then be lifted up to the surface by the water.
She softly analyzed, "Several days have passed. Even considering the Dou family of the previous dynasty, His Majesty would have spared Dou Jingwan's life. But the words spoken that day were too harsh, and His Majesty, for his own dignity, cannot issue the order himself. Naturally, the Empress will share His Majesty's concerns."
Qingyi suddenly realized, "No wonder His Majesty gave this matter to the Empress to handle completely, and didn't allow you and Consort Shu to intervene."
"You're said to be clever, but now you're being foolish." Concubine Chun turned and threw flower petals at her. "This palace and Concubine Shu are merely assisting in the management of the harem. How can we compare with the Empress who holds the Phoenix Seal?"
"Why not?" Qingyi caught the petals and wiped the water off her face. "Your Majesty is so intelligent. If she hadn't been born two years later, with the high regard His Majesty holds me in, who would be sitting on the throne now?"
"Shut up! You're becoming even more outspoken." Consort Chun glared at her helplessly. "How can you say such outrageous words?"
Qingyi quickly slapped her lips and said with an apologetic smile, "I spoke out of turn. I won't say it again."
"You'd better remember this." Chun Zhaoyi stood up and stepped out of the bathtub.
Qingyi hurriedly took a blanket to wrap her up and ordered someone to come in and clean up.
At the same time, Tuoba Yong, who had been left out in the palace gate for a long time, finally waited for the late arrival of Wei Taiyi. He couldn't wait to let him sit in the sedan chair, so he jumped him onto the horse's back, kicked the horse's belly, and galloped to the inn.
The horse was running like crazy, and Doctor Wei couldn't sit still at all. If Tuoba Yong hadn't held his arm, he would have fallen off the horse.
He trembled and shouted: "Slow down! Slow down... "
Even the words were scattered.
Inside the posthouse, in the courtyard of the Western Xia envoys, everyone who had been waiting for Tuoba Yong to return for a long time was so anxious that their hair was almost burning.
Even Zhao Shiqi was a little uneasy and kept ordering people to go to the door to see if Tuoba Yong had returned.
Beside the bed, Princess Xixia sat on a stool wiping her tears, crying even more pitifully than Wei Mingliang, who was tortured to death by the tickling water on the bed.
Wei Mingliang, who was tied up, no longer had the strength to struggle. He was like a dying fish washed ashore by the waves, and even his breathing was light.
If this goes on, I'm afraid I won't even make it to dawn.
Just when Zhao Shiqi had sent people to check on him for the umpteenth time, the chief guard came running in, "Master Tuoba is back! He brought a doctor from Wei with him!"
Everyone was delighted, and Zhao Shiqi even stood up to greet them, but was nearly knocked over by Tuoba Yong who was striding towards him.
"Sir, be careful." The captain of the guards hurriedly supported him and asked everyone to make way for Tuoba Yong.
Tuoba Yong carried Doctor Wei to the bedside, took one look at Wei Mingliang, and seeing how weak he was, he cried out in pain, "Your Highness, I'm late!"
Zhao Shiqi was shocked and thought that Wei Mingliang was dead. He was so scared that he almost fainted. He ran over in two steps and saw that Wei Mingliang was still blinking. He let out the breath he had been holding.
He was so angry that he didn't even care about being polite. He kicked Tuoba Yong's calf twice and said, "Hurry up and put down Doctor Wei to treat His Highness."
"Oh." Tuoba Yong didn't take Zhao Shiqi's ant-like strength seriously at all. He put Doctor Wei down, grabbed the collar and pulled him to Wei Mingliang's face, shouting, "Heal him quickly!"
Poor Doctor Wei was almost tortured like a patient by him. He raised his hand to pull away the big hand that was grabbing his collar. He could hardly breathe!
Zhao Shiqi knew very well how reckless Tuoba Yong was, and fearing that the imperial physician he had finally invited would be strangled to death by Tuoba Yong, he hurriedly said, "Let go! Don't be rude to Imperial Physician Wei."
Tuoba Yong still listened to him very much. He immediately let go of his hand and patted Doctor Wei on the back considerately.
Doctor Wei's small body was so strong that he almost vomited three liters of blood. He was so angry that he cursed the ancestors of this rough man in his heart.
Is there anyone who treats a doctor like this?
Do you still want to detoxify?
What about the patients who were waiting to inherit him after he was shot to death?
"Don't blame me for taking the necessary measures in this emergency." Zhao Shiqi patiently comforted Doctor Wei.
Doctor Wei also knew that this group of people were not easy to deal with, so no matter how angry he was, he did not show it. He just asked Tuoba Yong, who was in the way, to get out of the way.
Tuoba Yong quickly moved aside and watched without blinking as Doctor Wei took Wei Mingliang's pulse.
Doctor Wei took the pulse and observed Wei Mingliang, thinking to himself that the Second Prince was so miserable, he looked like a monster.
Princess Xixia asked, "Doctor Wei, how is my second brother doing?"
"The second prince has been poisoned." Doctor Wei withdrew his hand from feeling the pulse and opened the medicine box to search.
Tuoba Yong muttered: "This is nonsense, how could it be like this if he wasn't poisoned?"
"Don't be rude." Zhao Shiqi glared at him. Tuoba Yong closed his mouth unwillingly and looked at Doctor Wei with a look of extreme distrust.
Doctor Wei was too lazy to argue with such a reckless man. While preparing the antidote, he said to Zhao Shiqi and the others, "Don't give antidotes to random people. The poison the Second Prince was poisoned with only made him itch for two hours. Tie him up or knock him unconscious, and he'll be fine after a good night's sleep.
The antidote you gave her not only failed to remove the poison but actually made it more toxic. If it's half an hour later, even a Daluo Immortal would be powerless to save her."
"Those quacks!" Hearing this, Tuoba Yong was about to rush out and kill someone. Princess Xixia quickly held him back, crying and admonishing him, "Don't cause trouble. Second Brother is more important now."
Tuoba Yong didn't dare to wave her away, so he had to suppress his anger and grit his teeth.
Doctor Wei prepared the antidote quickly. "Take half internally, and soak in the bath for the other half. The poison will be eliminated in a quarter of an hour."
"Thank you." Zhao Shiqi took the bottle and ordered someone to take him downstairs to rest. Obviously, he didn't intend to let him go until he was sure the antidote was really effective.
Doctor Wei seemed to have anticipated this and left with the chief guard.
The door creaked shut, and hearing that there was no one on guard, Doctor Wei put the pillow into the quilt, blew out the lights, pushed the window open a crack, and climbed out quietly.
