The emperor snorted angrily, "You have seen Qin Wu's medical skills yourself. You are not even as good as her."
"Lord Zhang, didn't you say before that if Qin Wu cured the Queen Mother, you would become her teacher and give her your position as the deputy director of the Imperial Hospital? I'll let her be a female official and an imperial physician, what's wrong with that?"
Doctor Zhang's face looked uglier than if he had eaten shit.
If the emperor hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten his previous ridicule of Qin Wu.
He was slapped in the face by a woman who had never studied medicine properly. His face really hurt, and he felt even more embarrassed when he looked into Qin Wu's eyes.
The same went for the other imperial physicians, who all found it hard to save face.
No one dared to stop the emperor from appointing Qin Wu as a sixth-rank female medical officer.
She was the first female official in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.
Although she was a sixth-rank female medical officer, the news of her promotion shocked the people of the entire Shangjing City.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you." Qin Wu said, "But, I just gave birth to a child, and the child still needs to be fed. I am afraid I cannot come to the palace to serve every day."
...
...
The emperor and others just remembered that Qin Wu was pregnant before and now the child has been born.
"It's okay. You can stay in the palace to treat the Queen Mother during this time. I will give you a token so that you can enter and leave the palace at any time."
"Your Majesty, the Consort of Prince Qi is truly impressive, and is not as bad as the rumors say." The Queen said with a smile, "She studied medicine hard to treat the Second Young Master Qin. This quality is rare and precious."
The emperor nodded in agreement, "Qin Wu, what reward do you want?"
"Your Majesty, only when the Queen Mother is in good health can you govern the country with peace of mind. I can't think of any reward for the moment, so let's wait until the Queen Mother recovers a little bit."
This made the emperor very satisfied. He was neither arrogant nor conceited just because he cured the empress dowager.
The emperor's bad impression of her also changed. "How about this, keep this reward for now. When you have made up your mind, come and ask me for it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Princess Qi, can you really cure the Queen Mother's illness completely?" Concubine Yun, who was suppressed, finally interrupted and asked.
"In reply to your Majesty, I am not completely sure that I can cure the Queen Mother's condition, but I can alleviate her pain and prolong her life."
Qin Wu had also told the emperor this before.
It’s not that Qin Wu can’t be cured, but she needs surgery to remove her liver.
The Empress Dowager had been misdiagnosed before and had been taking other medicines, which only increased the burden on her liver and kidneys. The Empress Dowager's liver disease was too serious, and she was so old that she could not withstand surgery.
If she was not careful, the Queen Mother might die on the spot. She would not take such a risk.
"Then you still can't cure the Queen Mother." Concubine Yun showed a look of disappointment, "I thought you were really a miracle doctor. You can cure diseases that even the imperial doctors can't cure."
However, Concubine Yun felt relieved.
She asked someone to find out about the genius doctor Xuanying who detoxified General Yang. As long as she found this genius doctor and cured the empress dowager's illness, she would not only win the empress dowager's trust, but also make the emperor more partial to her.
Only then can her son take the throne of crown prince.
After all, the emperor is no longer young, and there are only three princes in the palace.
Of course, the emperor's favorite concubine is pregnant, and it is not known whether the baby is a boy or a girl, so she is still far from the position of crown prince.
Qin Wu was not angry at her words, and said calmly, "My ability is indeed limited, I just hope that the Queen Mother can suffer less from the pain."
"Without you, I might not even have the strength to sit up and talk." The Queen Mother said, "Hey, I'm a little hungry."
"Empress Dowager, I will go to the imperial kitchen to get you some food." Nanny Zhao said excitedly.
Ever since the Queen Mother fell ill, she has never said she was hungry.
This also made the emperor happy.
The imperial teacher’s divination skills are truly effective, and Qin Wu is the empress dowager’s lucky star.
Qin Wu helped the Queen Mother to eliminate liver poison, but there were some things she needed to avoid. Qin Wu immediately said, "Mammy, the Queen Mother needs to be careful about what she eats."
"I'll list them for you. The best ones are daily medicinal meals, which are light and delicious."
"Yes, Crown Princess." Nanny Zhao watched Qin Wu give the Queen Mother acupuncture, and her condition improved from not even being able to speak to being able to stand up and ask for water. She believed that Qin Wu was capable.
"Should the Queen Mother prescribe medicine? This old servant should ask someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine."
"The Queen Mother has liver disease, and taking too much medicine will only increase the excretion of toxins from the body.
Taking medicine will increase the burden. I will give the Empress Dowager acupuncture once a day. She only needs to take medicated food according to my requirements every day. She doesn't need to take medicine for the time being. ”
Qin Wu then said to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, "I know how to make medicinal food. I will go and make some medicinal food for the Queen Mother."
"Thank you for your hard work, girl." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Go ahead. I'll stay with the Queen Mother for a while." The Emperor looked at the Queen and the others, "You can go back too."
"Your Majesty, you have a hard time handling state affairs. Please let me take care of the Empress Dowager." Concubine Yun spoke first in a filial tone.
The Queen glanced at her and said, "Noble Concubine Yun is so weak that she can't take care of herself. How can she take good care of the Queen Mother?"
"Your Majesty, please let me take care of the Queen Mother."
"Okay, the Imperial Master said that Qin Wu is the Queen Mother's lucky star, so she will take care of her." The Emperor said in a tone that did not allow for argument, "Go back, the Queen Mother needs quiet time."
After the emperor scolded Doctor Zhang, he told them to get out.
The imperial physician managed to save the dog's life.
However, Doctor Zhang started to resent Qin Wu for this. After all, he was the vice president of the Imperial Medical Bureau. How could he tolerate being slapped in the face by her today?
But there were also imperial doctors who were grateful to Qin Wu for speaking for them and saving their lives.
Qin Wu used winter melon, minced meat, red dates and wolfberries to make a thick medicinal soup.
It was rare for the Queen Mother to finish the whole bowl.
The emperor also stayed to taste the food and praised Qin Wu's cooking skills.
After eating, the empress dowager felt that her strength had been restored a lot.
Qin Wu wrote down the foods that the empress dowager needed to pay attention to eating, and also wrote several medicinal diet recipes and asked Zhao Ma to make medicinal diet for the empress dowager according to her methods.
She still had to go back to feed her child. Fortunately, the emperor allowed her to leave the palace freely every day to treat the empress dowager, and she didn't have to stay in Feng'an Palace all the time.
Qin Wu arranged the Queen Mother's affairs and then planned to go back.
It had already gotten dark.
The cold wind outside was quite strong, blowing Qin Wu's hair flying.
The palace maid held a lantern and led Qin Wu out of Feng'an Palace.
At the palace gate, there was a slender man standing with his hands behind his back.
The wind blew his robes up and made them flutter.
It was dark, and he was holding a lantern in his hand. His masked face was faintly visible in the firelight, looking extremely mysterious.
The maid recognized the man immediately and bowed quickly, "Your Highness, the Imperial Master."
The national teacher walked up to Qin Wu.
Almost subconsciously, Qin Wu took a step back.
"Why are you afraid of me?" The Imperial Master asked in a cold and testing voice.
