"Queen Mother, absolutely not."
Concubine Yue gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground. "This item was painstakingly found by the Left Prime Minister. I asked the imperial physician before coming here, and he said it would be extremely beneficial to the Queen Mother's health. If it were given to ordinary people, it could save lives in a critical moment! Princess Jingling..."
"After all, Princess Jingling comes from a merchant family and doesn't understand the properties of precious medicines. However, this concerns the health of the Empress Dowager, so please consider it carefully."
Concubine Yue looked worried and acted like she was very concerned about the Empress Dowager.
Well, in just a few words, she was described as a person with a bad background, who knew nothing and was short-sighted and made up stories just to get rewards... The more Jiang Li listened, the more she wanted to laugh.
Hearing some movement beside her, Jiang Li quickly touched Gu Qingchen gently with the back of her hand, signaling him to stay calm.
Women's affairs aren't something that would require the intervention of a god of war. It's just a wink. Don't worry, she's familiar with this matter.
Seeing that the Queen Mother and Prince Jingling changed their expressions, Concubine Yue was even more proud. She just didn't believe that everyone knew Jiang Li's little thoughts. How could Jiang Li be free if a princess looked so ugly?
"How dare you!" The Queen Mother was furious.
In the Emperor's impression, the Empress Dowager rarely lost her temper. Seeing this, he quickly comforted her, saying, "Concubine Yue was thinking about you, your mother, so she slipped up. Please don't take it to heart. Getting angry is harmful to your health, and your son will be distressed."
After saying that, he gave Concubine Yue a warning look, indicating that she should quickly apologize to Jiang Li.
Are you kidding? Not to mention that Jiang Li is the apple of his eye, just look at how the Queen Mother gets along with Jiang Li, and you will know that the Queen Mother also regards that girl as her own treasure. The affairs of the court are enough to give him a headache, and he will not make these two people angry and make himself unhappy.
"Your Majesty, I am just..."
Imperial Concubine Yue was puzzled. Wasn't it Jiang Li who should have admitted her mistake? What did the Emperor mean by this?!
"Noble Concubine Yue," Jiang Li looked at her with a smile, "I wonder which... imperial physician you are asking about? I would like to ask for your advice."
No wonder neither the Empress Dowager nor the Emperor Jingling Prince are in good health. It would not be surprising if the imperial doctors were all good-for-nothings.
Jiang Li's words were cold, and she almost said the word "waste".
"Of course it's Imperial Physician Qin Yu!" Imperial Concubine Yue said proudly, giving Jiang Li a cold look. "I forgot that Princess Jingling probably didn't know Imperial Physician Qin before. He's the Vice President of the Imperial Hospital."
Not only that, he is also Qin Chuan's cousin and Concubine Yue's uncle.
It is said that there is smoke coming out of the Qin family’s ancestral tomb, and there is a royal physician and a high-ranking official.
Jiang Li rolled his eyes in his heart. He heard it, he heard it with both ears.
"Come here, summon the imperial physician Qin."
After the morning court session, Gu Qingchen quietly explained that when Jiang Li was young, she met a wandering miracle doctor who took her in as his disciple because of her intelligence. However, the Jiang family's backyard was in chaos, so she never told anyone about this to save her life.
At first the emperor didn't believe it, but Gu Qingchen's cold poison hadn't recurred for a long time, and even the empress dowager's complexion had improved visibly. The emperor felt that the two of them being together was a blessing from their royal family.
He immediately understood the doubt in Jiang Li's mouth. The Imperial Hospital was related to the safety of their royal family. If there was really a problem, then...
A stern look flashed across the emperor's eyes, and even his attitude towards Concubine Yue was obviously different from before.
An incense stick of time passed.
Qin Yu asked for a meeting.
"Doctor Qin, I heard from Concubine Yue that you were the one who said this ginseng is rare, a tonic, and suitable for the Empress Dowager?"
Qin Yu was curious at first, wondering why the emperor would call him over when he saw that no one in front of him looked weak. Hearing the emperor's words, he immediately understood that Concubine Yue was using his name to support him.
He had heard of such things many times in the past, so he didn't take it to heart today. He looked up at the brocade box held by the palace maid and said with a bow, "In reply to the emperor, it is correct."
"Oh? Could it be that Imperial Physician Qin doesn't know that the Queen Mother should be treated with gentle conditioning. Heavy tonics would only cause harm and no benefit."
Jiang Li spoke slowly.
Concubine Yue frowned, "Jiang Li!"
After saying this, she saw everyone looking at her and quickly changed her words: "Jing, Princess Jingling. Your Majesty, please calm down. It was I who was too anxious. Please don't take it to heart, Princess Jingling."
Prince Jingling's eyes were too scary. At this moment, Concubine Yue finally realized that Jiang Li was no longer the woman who wanted to marry into the Qin family, nor was she the future sister-in-law who could be manipulated by her.
Thanks to her quick reaction, the emperor only gave a warning and Jiang Li shook her head with an indifferent expression.
I can't help it so soon, and this is just the beginning.
As expected, Concubine Yue continued, "Princess Jingling said that the Queen Mother's body is not suitable for heavy nourishment. I wonder which miracle doctor said that?"
Qin Yu also wanted to know.
Previously, the Empress Dowager always said that she was not feeling well, but she couldn't tell where she was feeling unwell, which made it very difficult for the imperial doctors.
More importantly, they needed to treat the empress dowager's illness, but the problem was that they couldn't find the cause. How could they start? Finally, he gathered together several imperial physicians who had taken her pulse. After discussing the matter, they all agreed that it was due to the empress dowager's physical weakness.
The method proposed by the person in front of them is completely different from the diagnosis they made?
"I also want to know who said this and whether there is any basis for it. Princess Jingling, please enlighten me." Qin Yu also spoke, but his expression was particularly serious, as if he was sincerely asking for advice.
Jiang Li's impression of him suddenly improved a lot.
After looking at Gu Qingchen, the other party gave her a look, indicating that she could speak according to what they had agreed before.
"My master, the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor," Jiang Li said slowly, "as for the doubts in Doctor Qin's mind, I suggest that Doctor Qin check the Queen Mother's pulse again."
Although they were all members of the Qin family, Jiang Li did not see that kind of unpleasant aura in Qin Yu, so he had no intention of taking advantage of the situation. He just wanted to observe him for a while.
After all, no matter what era, having one more good doctor means there will always be one more way to survive.
She knows the hardships of studying medicine, so she values talent.
Seeing Qin Yu's pleading look, the Queen Mother nodded in agreement.
"This..." Qin Yu was shocked as soon as he took the pulse.
How is this possible? !
It's been less than a month since I last checked Ping's pulse. Last time, it felt only weak and nothing serious, so they all thought it was just Qi deficiency. But now... even after taking the rumored Ten-Herb Tonic Pills, it hasn't had the same effect!
After making every possible effort to confirm, Qin Yu finally withdrew his hand, stood up, bowed to Jiang Li, and asked, "Although I work in the Imperial Hospital, I have heard of some of the miraculous doctors in the martial arts world. I wonder who this Ghost Hand Doctor is? Please enlighten me, Princess."
Concubine Yue was obviously in disbelief. Just as she was about to question it, she saw her uncle looking at her angrily and warning her not to talk nonsense.
Jiang Li said, "My master has been in seclusion for many years and now travels around incognito. I can't go into details, but Imperial Physician Qin's diagnosis was wrong. I think the Empress Dowager was never ill, but... poisoned."
