Although the Empress Dowager was naive, she was not stupid. However, she had no power because of her son. With her aunt protecting her in the palace, she lived a relatively easy and comfortable life. In addition, she had the respect of her son, Emperor Kangxi. Apart from being a little lonely, she was indeed quite content.
It was precisely because she had no children that her aunt adopted a child for her, giving her hope in the palace.
Although Consort Yi knew that the Empress Dowager would give her some face out of respect for the Fifth Prince, she did not dare to contradict the Empress Dowager.
Consort Yi, on the contrary, acted as if she had received a great favor, saying, "Your Majesty, I will obey all your wishes."
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Consort Yi had calmed down.
She really didn't know how to handle this matter, although she knew perfectly well that the best outcome would be for her to ignore it.
However, he and Consort Yi were always involved with a child.
The imperial physician arrived shortly afterward.
What a joke! Who would dare to neglect the imperial physicians invited by the Empress Dowager?
Naturally, they rushed over as quickly as possible.
This imperial physician was a Mongolian physician, and his medical skills were excellent.
The imperial physician, Bel, greeted the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager said, "Get up. Could you please check if there's anything wrong with this box of medicine?"
Bell said, "Yes."
Cuiwei handed the medicine in her hand to the imperial physician.
Physician Bell opened the lid, first smelled it, then rubbed some on his fingertips, then on his palm, and smelled it again.
After thinking for a moment, he said to the Empress Dowager, "Your Majesty, this medicine is a top-quality wound medicine. It contains some rare medicinal herbs and is very effective, several times better than the best wound medicine in the palace."
Your Majesty, hearing this, you are immediately relieved, as long as the truth is not on Consort Yi's side.
Consort Yi was displeased. When she heard the imperial physician say that the medicine was effective, she had some doubts, but still felt that something was wrong.
Consort Yi asked, "Please trouble the imperial physician to take another look. Will this medicine have any adverse effects after being applied?"
Upon hearing this, Bel**tai thought that some harmful ingredients had been added to the medicine, and immediately became even more attentive and detailed.
Besides looking at it, I smelled it several times, applied the medicine to my fingers, and rubbed my two fingers together. It seemed normal.
It felt normal when I applied it to my palms and the backs of my hands; I didn't notice anything else wrong with it.
Or perhaps he directly suspected that the medicine had been poisoned?
"May I ask Your Majesty, is there anything else added to this medicine? Your humble servant is not knowledgeable enough to notice anything abnormal about it. It may cause a slight pain after application, but it is definitely within a tolerable range. Moreover, the medicine is very effective and the effect is short-lived, which is why there is a feeling of pain."
Consort Yi couldn't believe it. Could it be that the medicine really was alright? No, judging from how Yinzhen applied it, it definitely wasn't alright.
Consort Yi asked, "Does the Imperial Physician truly only experience a slight pain? Why then did Yinzhen writhe on the ground and even faint from the pain after applying the ointment?"
This question stumped the imperial physician. Although he admitted that he was not very knowledgeable, there was no imperial physician in the palace who was better at medicine than him.
But Consort Yi couldn't possibly joke about her own son.
The imperial physician asked, "Is it because the medicine is not suitable for the Ninth Prince? In other words, is it an allergic reaction?"
"I truly cannot find anything wrong with this medicine."
Seeing that it was no use asking the Empress Dowager for help, Consort Yi added, "How about I accompany Her Majesty the Empress Dowager to Jingren Palace to ask the Imperial Noble Consort?"
The Empress Dowager was almost furious at her words. She said that she was going with me, but she clearly wanted me to go with her to support her.
