Thinking of this, Ning Yuxi knew that there was something obviously wrong with the emperor. Someone must have tampered with the emperor's pulse to cover it up, preventing the imperial physician from diagnosing the emperor's physical condition from the pulse!
Thinking of this, Ning Yuxi suddenly thought, why is this method so similar to the symptoms of Concubine Xin at the beginning? Concubine Xin and Concubine Rong did not get along at the beginning, and Concubine Xin was poisoned by a snake. Concubine Rong happened to know the method of detoxification, so while detoxifying Concubine Xin, she also gave her another poison.
Even the imperial physician was unable to diagnose the poison. It was Ning Yuxi who accidentally discovered it and quietly hinted it to Concubine Xin.
Concubine Xin's condition on that day was very similar to the emperor's current condition. Both of them were able to hide the truth from the imperial physician. The difference was that the emperor could not find any symptoms, while Concubine Xin could not find the poison. The other symptoms of her body could be detected.
Are the two connected? Could the Emperor's symptoms also be related to the Xiao family?
If this is true, then what happened to the emperor's health that affected the baby in her womb?
Ning Yuxi felt a chill in her heart. She had to tell the emperor about this as soon as possible. There was definitely something wrong with the emperor's body, but with her medical skills, she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
The Imperial Hospital did not detect the illness every time they checked the emperor's pulse, which means that the imperial doctors were unable to diagnose it. The imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital were considered the best doctors in the Jin Dynasty. If even they did not detect the illness, it would be difficult to cure the emperor's illness.
About an hour later, the emperor woke up from his nap. Although the emperor had ordered to wake him up in half an hour, Ning Yuxi saw that the emperor was sleeping soundly and she also wanted the emperor to rest more, so she did not wake him.
Today is only the third day of the Lunar New Year, so it’s not time to start work yet.
The emperor saw that more than an hour had passed, and he glanced at Ning Yuxi quietly, but said nothing. He knew that Concubine Yi was also concerned about him.
However, his self-control has indeed declined recently. In the past, he would wake up after half an hour even if he took a nap without being called. But today, he slept for more than an hour. Gu Qilan frowned slightly.
While helping the emperor dress, Ning Yuxi said thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, I've noticed that you haven't been in good spirits lately. I wonder if you're sick. Do you feel any discomfort?"
Gu Qilan thought for a moment and said, "No." Although he also felt that he was not in a good mood recently, he did not feel any discomfort in his body, and the imperial physician checked his pulse and said that he was fine.
Gu Qilan thought that it might be because he always stayed up late to review documents, and he was getting older.
Upon hearing this, Ning Yuxi no longer concealed her thoughts and directly stated her guess.
"Your Majesty, you know that I enjoy studying medicine in my free time. From your facial features and your recent diet and rest schedule, I've determined that your liver isn't in good condition. However, the imperial physician who took your pulse couldn't find any clues. What do you think is the reason?"
After hearing what Ning Yuxi said, Gu Qilan frowned and thought. If it was true as Concubine Yi said, that he was unwell, but the imperial physician did not find out, then there were only two possibilities.
One possibility is that the imperial physician's medical skills are not good, but this is unlikely. The imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital cannot enter the hospital if their medical skills do not meet the standards, and the imperial physician responsible for taking his pulse is even more outstanding. Even Concubine Yi, who has studied medical skills herself, can see it, let alone the imperial physician.
The second possibility is that the imperial physician was bribed and said this on purpose. This is even more impossible. The imperial physician who took his pulse had been with him for more than ten years, and he had a grasp of every situation in the family. It was impossible for him to be bribed.
Since both of these situations have been ruled out, what other reasons are there?
Just as she was thinking, Ning Yuxi spoke again, "I believe the Emperor has also realized that the imperial physician cannot be bribed, and that the imperial physicians are all top-notch medical skills. There is no such thing as poor medical skills. So, there is only one other possibility."
As she spoke, Ning Yuxi raised her eyes and looked directly at the emperor: "The emperor is ill, but the imperial physician can't find out what it is!"
Gu Qilan's pupils trembled slightly. He was ill, but the imperial physician couldn't find out what was wrong? So someone was deliberately preventing the imperial physician from finding out?
How can we achieve this effect and influence his pulse? The only way is to tamper with his body!
Thinking of this, Gu Qilan's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Who could have drugged him without anyone noticing?
Ning Yuxi could clearly feel the temperature around her suddenly drop, so she guessed that the emperor had figured out the key. She did not mention that Concubine Xin had been poisoned by a similar poison before.
After all, she was the only one who discovered it at that time. She later hinted to Concubine Xin, and only she and Concubine Xin knew about it. But Concubine Xin is no longer alive, and even if she told it, no one would testify for her. Moreover, there is no conclusive evidence whether the emperor's poison and Concubine Xin's poison that day were caused by the same person.
In this case, he could not tell the emperor rashly, and could only temporarily inform the emperor that he was ill.
"For the sake of your Majesty's health, please summon several more imperial physicians for a thorough examination. If they still can't find the cause, you can send someone to find the Divine Doctor Zhong among the common people. Although I am in the harem, I have heard of the Divine Doctor Zhong's name. Since he is called a miracle doctor, he must have some extraordinary qualities."
When she was reading medical books before, she learned that there was a folk doctor named Zhong who had superb medical skills. Although he could not bring people back to life, there was no disease that he could not cure, so he was known as a miracle doctor.
If the people in the Imperial Hospital still cannot diagnose the emperor's illness, then they can only go and find Doctor Zhong to give it a try.
Gu Qilan looked at Ning Yuxi for a long time without saying anything, as if she was lost in thought. Ning Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps I am overthinking it. I only know a little bit of medical skills, so I might have made a mistake. But for safety's sake, the Emperor should still ask the imperial physician to take a closer look."
Gu Qilan raised his eyes to look at Ning Yuxi again, nodded silently, then stood up and patted Ning Yuxi's arm gently: "I know, I will pay attention to it. You take good care of your baby. I will return to Shengchen Palace first."
After saying this, Gu Qilan instructed the palace servants to take good care of Ning Yuxi, then turned and left.
Ning Yuxi knew that the emperor had heard it and would investigate it himself. The emperor must have also felt that something was not right with his recent condition.
Don't mention it, it was just as Ning Yuxi thought. Gu Qilan originally thought that it was because he had been staying up late recently, working too hard, and was also getting older, but after hearing what Concubine Yi said just now, he felt that it might really be possible.
No matter what, it is always better to let the imperial physician check again. If the imperial physician still cannot find the cause, then let someone find the genius doctor Zhong. It is always better to be cautious.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the emperor officially began to hold court, and all government offices also began to go to work, including the Imperial Medical Service.
It just so happened that today was the day when the emperor routinely checked his pulse. Gu Qilan found an excuse to ask Song Qu to invite a few more imperial doctors and instructed them to check carefully.
Unexpectedly, they found nothing in the end. The imperial doctors examined the emperor from head to toe several times and gave the same answer: the emperor was in good health.
Seeing this, the emperor had no choice but to let them leave first.
