As soon as these words were spoken, all the palace maids knelt down.
A few days ago, Gu Qingchen had found out who had poisoned the family, but the little palace maid only said that the lives of the family members outside the palace were in someone else's hands, so she had to do it. After she finished confessing, she bit her tongue and committed suicide.
Fearing that the snake might be alerted, Gu Qingchen decided to suppress the matter. However, since the snake had not been out for a long time, the two of them planned to find an opportunity to make the matter bigger and catch the person behind it.
Jiang Li felt that today's opportunity was just right.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu and Concubine Yue both showed expressions of great surprise and knelt down together.
Qin Yu: "I didn't find out about this right away. I deserve death."
The Empress Dowager's life was at stake, but the Imperial Hospital failed to discover the problem. Even if the Emperor ordered these mediocre doctors to be executed, there would be nothing to say!
Because he had other plans before, Gu Qingchen only asked people to thoroughly check the food around the emperor and the empress dowager, and did not inform the emperor about this matter for the time being.
When the emperor learned the truth, he turned his anger into laughter and said, "Then, Concubine Yue, tell me why you knelt down."
"Your Highness, I am afraid. If Princess Jingling hadn't been here, I would have taken the initiative to present the gift to the Queen Mother, which would have been a disaster. Therefore, the more I think about it, the more afraid I am."
Seeing Concubine Yue trembling, the emperor snorted coldly and did not pursue the matter any further. He turned to look at Qin Yu and said, "My dear Qin, I wonder when did my Imperial Hospital become so incompetent?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu fell to the ground with a bang and began to admit his mistake.
The sound was so muffled that it hurt Jiang Li just listening to it.
"I am guilty. I hope Your Majesty will give me a chance. I will go back and punish them. I will never do it again."
It was really bad luck. The director of the Imperial Hospital took leave last month and went back to his hometown. He would not be back until the fifth day of next month. It happened at this time.
Qin Yu thought to himself, if he knew who had poisoned him, he would definitely beat that person to a pulp and then heal him, repeating this process hundreds of times!
"Knocking? Will knocking work?" The emperor rolled his eyes. Damn it, Jiang Li's master was lucky to have intervened this time. Who could guarantee that someone wouldn't try to harm them next time? The thought of his doctors not being able to tell the difference between poisoning and illness made the emperor's head ache again.
Thinking of what Jiang Li had said before, the emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly said, "I can let the Imperial Hospital's negligence go unpunished for now, but I don't want to keep a bunch of good-for-nothings here. If that happens, not to mention treating patients, I'm afraid my life will be in your hands!"
“Your Majesty!” Qin Yu yelled, his head almost digging a hole in the ground. Wuuuuuu, someone come and save him!
Even though he is a seven-foot tall man, he looks so helpless kneeling on the ground.
Especially those who were used to a glorious life in the past, now they were filled with regret and self-blame, looking extremely pitiful. Even Concubine Yue was so scared that she dared not say a word.
"How about this," the Emperor said slowly, "Jiang Li, you are now considered a member of the Imperial family. I don't feel comfortable leaving this matter to outsiders. I will appoint you as the Supervisor of the Imperial Hospital, with the same rank as the Director. You will be responsible for supervising and reviewing all the imperial physicians. Are you willing?"
The Daning Censorate was responsible for supervising all officials and was under the direct supervision of the emperor. However, the Imperial Medical Service was different from other positions, so it was headed by a director and a deputy director.
Even Gu Qingchen believed so much in Jiang Li's medical skills. The emperor felt that the royal family had picked up a valuable talent and wanted to recruit him for his own use. Moreover, Jiang Li had such a powerful master. If the old man came back from his travels in the future, for Jiang Li's sake, he might be able to recruit him into the Imperial Hospital as a director. That would be perfect.
Besides, the people of Daning are open-minded, and it is normal for women to go out to do business. So it is also normal to have more female officials.
The emperor thought more and more about it, and simply ignored Gu Qingchen's dissatisfied look. He was not worried that Jiang Li would be embarrassed. With someone as protective as Gu Qingchen around, if anyone dared to come forward and report it, there would be a lot of fun to watch.
Thinking of this, the emperor tapped his fingers happily on his legs.
Seeing everyone stunned, he raised his eyebrows at Jiang Li again, "Why? Jiang Li, you don't want to?"
Jiang Li was really shocked when he heard the news that he was going to be an official.
This storyline started low but ended high. Folks, I've made it!!! Jiang Li wanted to pound his fists on his chest and roar to the heavens.
My God, this is really getting close to the emperor. I thought marrying into the palace would mean starting a palace fight, but now I'm stepping directly into the workplace. Jiang Li could hardly hide the smile on her lips.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was also looking at her with a smile, Jiang Li had no reason to hesitate and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am willing."
Hearing Jiang Li's crisp response, Gu Qingchen looked at the woman's profile, feeling a little complicated. But when he thought about it, this was the woman he liked.
Concubine Yue on the side became anxious and quickly winked at Qin Yu. If she didn't stop it now and Jiang Li really became a supervisor, how would she be able to cause trouble for Jiang Li in the future!
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! If this happens, she won't be able to see Jiang Li in the harem anymore!
Qin Yu didn't dare to speak. He was lucky to have his mind saved. As for the affairs of the Qin family's direct lineage, he didn't care. Therefore, he ignored Concubine Yue completely.
"Lord Qin, you can assist Lord Jiang from now on. When Han Yuanzheng returns, you two will work together with Supervisor Jiang to help me manage the Imperial Hospital!"
"Yes, I obey your order."
&&&
The smile on Jiang Li's face did not disappear until the carriage stopped in front of the palace.
Gu Qingchen chuckled, "Are you so happy being an inspector?"
"That's right. From now on, we are more than just husband and wife, Prince Jingling. When we go out, we are colleagues." Jiang Li raised his eyebrows.
