The imperial doctors first told Qin Wu that they had misdiagnosed the disease, and then arrogantly said that she could cure the empress dowager, which was an insult to them. The imperial doctors then became even more disgusted and rejected her.
And what they were most worried about was that if she killed the empress dowager with her medical treatment and dragged them down with her, where would they go to cry?
"Summon Duke Yang to the palace and invite that miraculous doctor..."
Before the emperor finished speaking, the imperial preceptor spoke first, "Your Majesty, I went to see Duke Yang before, but the miracle doctor had already left. People in Duke Yang's mansion said that the miracle doctor did not leave his address."
"I won't come back until ten days later."
The words of the imperial preceptor left the emperor and the imperial physicians present speechless.
Qin Wu, kneeling on the ground, "..." She couldn't say now that she was the Xuanying who went to cure General Yang of the poison, right?
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of seeking attention. We will know if I can save the Queen Mother after we give it a try." Qin Wu tried again.
Her reputation is really bad now, and it is difficult for people to believe in her, but she can't give up.
"Master, do you have any suggestions?" the emperor asked the master who had been standing silently aside.
...
...
"The Queen Mother's condition has deteriorated seriously, and the imperial doctors are helpless. It's okay to let her try."
"The Queen Mother's lucky star is Qin Wu. Whether to keep her to serve the Queen Mother is up to the Emperor."
The Imperial Master was unfathomable. The Emperor looked at the unconscious Queen Mother lying on the bed and pondered for a moment. He said to Qin Wu, "Qin Wu, saving the Queen Mother is not just about talking big. Are you sure you can save her?"
"Okay." Qin Wu said firmly.
"Oh, if you can save the empress dowager, I will take you as my teacher! And I will give you the position of vice president of the Imperial Medical Bureau!" Doctor Zhang said contemptuously.
Facing Doctor Zhang who kept arguing, Qin Wu responded without hesitation, "Okay!"
"you……"
Obviously, he didn't expect Qin Wu to dare to provoke him. Doctor Zhang said coldly, "If you can't save the Queen Mother, will you die to apologize?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not joke with the Queen Mother's life. If I cannot cure her, I will die as a token of my guilt!"
"Emperor, please, let her try." The unconscious empress dowager opened her eyes slightly and spoke weakly to the emperor.
"Mother." The emperor looked at the empress dowager, who was already so thin that she had almost no flesh left, with a distressed look on his face. He did not hesitate any longer and said, "Okay, Qin Wu, I will let you heal the empress dowager, but if you cannot heal her, don't blame me for chopping off your head!"
Originally, the Imperial Preceptor only asked Qin Wu to take care of the Queen Mother, but Qin Wu wanted to gain credit by curing the Queen Mother.
If she can cure him, it will be a reward for her. If she can't cure him and is just making fun of him, then don't blame him for killing her.
"It's the Emperor."
Qin Wu asked the emperor for a silver needle, and then left two palace maids to help her, while the others waited outside the hall.
The emperor sat on his high seat with a frown on his face, looking in the direction of the door to the empress dowager's bedroom.
The Imperial Master sat calmly on the lower left side of the Emperor.
The Queen also heard that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, so she brought a group of concubines to show her filial piety.
Everyone was surprised to learn that Qin Wu was treating the empress dowager in her bedroom.
"Your Majesty, isn't this Qin Wu the consort of Prince Qi? But I've never heard that she can treat illnesses..."
"The Queen Mother is so seriously ill that the imperial doctors are helpless. How can she possibly cure her? Your Majesty has heard that she is very scheming. What if she kills him?" Concubine Yun advised, "How about I go in and take a look and keep an eye on her..."
"Empress Yun, the Emperor has agreed to let Qin Wu treat the Empress Dowager. Are you questioning the Emperor's ability?" The dignified Queen rebuked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, Queen, I dare not! Qin Wu has been treating the Queen Mother for such a long time, I am just worried about the Queen Mother..."
Concubine Yun immediately knelt down and looked at the emperor with an extremely aggrieved look in her eyes, "As long as the empress dowager's illness can be cured, I am willing to be a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures for the rest of my life."
The Emperor felt sorry for her and said to the Empress, "The Concubine is just worried about the Queen Mother. She is timid, so don't be harsh to her."
The queen pinched her palms, "..." Why is this bitch pretending to be filial?
Half an hour passed, and when the imperial doctors saw that Qin Wu had not come out yet, they thought that she could not cure the empress dowager and was just showing off. She was afraid of death and was delaying time.
"Your Majesty, there is still no movement inside, and you have not allowed me to leave one person to watch over her. I am afraid that she will not be able to cure the Queen Mother's illness, so I am intentionally stalling for time..."
The emperor was indeed getting anxious waiting, "Doctor Zhang, take two people in to take a look first. If the empress dowager is in any abnormality, stop immediately."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the door of the empress dowager's bedroom opened, and the nanny who served the empress dowager came out excitedly.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been treated by the Princess of Qi and is now much better. The Queen Mother said she wants to talk to you."
How is this possible! The imperial doctors' faces were full of disbelief!
The emperor was the first to react. He showed joy on his face and hurried into the empress dowager's bedroom.
A group of people knelt on the ground and paid their respects to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother leaned against the bed. Although she looked very weak, the spirit in her eyes was much better.
"Mother, how do you feel? Are you feeling better? Are you still in pain?" the emperor asked with concern.
"I feel much better." The Queen Mother looked at Qin Wu who was kneeling on the ground. "If it weren't for the excellent medical skills of Qin Wu, I would have been lying in bed, sleeping, and waiting to die."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the imperial doctors were disgraced.
It can be seen that Qin Wu’s diagnosis is correct.
The Queen Mother has liver disease!
"Mother, please don't say such unlucky words. Look, Qin Wu is indeed your lucky star. She can cure you. You will live a long life."
The emperor then shouted at the kneeling imperial physician, "You bunch of useless people! You can't even diagnose what disease the empress dowager has! You're worse than Qin Wu, a woman who's not even a doctor!"
"What's the point of me keeping you imperial doctors? You almost killed the Queen Mother with your treatment!"
The imperial physician was so frightened that he trembled and begged for mercy in panic, "I am incompetent, Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
When the emperor looked at Qin Wu, a smile appeared on his cold face. "Qin Wu, stand up and talk."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Wu slowly stood up.
"I didn't expect your medical skills were so advanced, better than those of the imperial doctors. Who taught you this?" the emperor asked with a tentative smile.
"Your Majesty, I am the adopted daughter of the Qin family. The Qin family has been kind to me, and I want to repay them. You know that the second son of the Qin family has been weak since he was a child. I want to cure his illness, so I have been looking for doctors everywhere and taught myself medicine to help him recover."
“So I learned a little bit. I had read about the Queen Mother’s illness in a medical book on difficult and complicated diseases, so I guessed that the Queen Mother had liver disease.
It just so happens that I know acupuncture, and I can insert needles into the acupuncture points to drive pathogens out of the body, which can temporarily suppress the Empress Dowager's disease. ”
Qin Wu glanced at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground and continued, "I asked the imperial physician about the empress dowager's illness earlier because I wanted to understand how the imperial physician treated her and prescribed medicine. I also knew that liver disease could easily be misdiagnosed as anorexia."
“Without any knowledge of this difficult and complicated disease, it is indeed difficult to judge the true condition.”
Being nice to others is the way to survive. If she can avoid making enemies with Qin Wu, she will reduce trouble. She only wants to get what she wants.
Although Qin Wu did not speak directly for the imperial physician, her words were a disguised way of pleading for the imperial physician.
At least the emperor won't ask for the heads of the imperial doctors.
"You haven't formally studied medicine, but your medical skills are amazing. You are a genius with medical talent." The emperor praised, "How about I make an exception and appoint you as the female medical officer of the Imperial Hospital, with a rank of sixth grade?"
There is not a single female imperial physician in this dynasty, and no female can hold an official position!
The imperial doctors were all shocked. Allowing a woman to serve as a female medical officer in the Imperial Medical Bureau, wasn't this an insult to them?
"No, Your Majesty! It is unreasonable to allow women to serve as officials in the Zhou Dynasty..." Imperial Doctor Zhang objected immediately.
