Linghu Lan listened with great interest.
Sure enough, gossip is still the best to hear!
The Imperial Medical Academy Chief Physician knelt on the ground, his face flushed, extremely uneasy.
She was drenched in sweat, her whole body was soaked.
To everyone's surprise, this is how she is perceived by others.
She was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear; half of the sweat on her body was from fear, and the other half from terror.
The more I listened, the colder I felt. I thought my life was about to end, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to save it.
finally……
Everyone finished speaking.
Linghu Lan nodded, looked at the Imperial Medical Academy Chief Physician who was already kneeling unsteadily, and smiled, "Chief Physician, do you have anything else to say?"
"Your humble servant... Your humble servant knows his crime!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
"Hmm! I can tell you're capable; everyone praises your medical skills. People often say that those who are talented are arrogant, and it's perfectly normal for capable people to have a temper. However, you're far too arrogant! A doctor should have a benevolent heart, but you have none of it. Keeping all your skills will only harm yourself and others!"
"Your Majesty, spare my life! This sinful subject knows his mistake!"
The head of the Imperial Medical Academy wept bitterly, and the crowd couldn't help but feel sorry for him, so they pleaded for his life.
Linghu Lan waved her hand.
“Logically, your crime warrants murder and exile. However, you have saved many people in Yucheng. Even if you have no merit, you have worked hard. If I were to kill you as soon as I arrive, it would discourage the doctors.”
"This sinful subject...this sinful subject thanks the Regent for sparing my life." The court judge was overjoyed and incoherent.
"Here's what I'll do. I'm removing you from your position as a judge. Since you look down on the monks of Baoguang Temple, I'll order you to recite Buddhist scriptures for half an hour every day. After you return to the capital, you'll spend ten days a month at Baoguang Temple learning what compassion is. Once you've learned it, come back and report that I will reinstate you to your original position."
This punishment was somewhat strange, but for the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, it was an unexpected delight, and she quickly agreed:
"This humble subject thanks the Regent, may you live a thousand years!"
"Long live the Regent!"
Hongchen lowered his eyes and clasped his hands together.
"Amitabha!"
Having dealt with this minor matter, Linghu Lan waved her hand dismissively.
"Make yourselves at home. I was just bored and came to take a look!"
Everyone: "..."
You've really gone on a huge trip; you've unknowingly walked all the way from the capital to Yucheng.
"yes!"
"This humble subject obeys!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the dismissed judge was helped up.
suddenly.
The curtain at the door was lifted again.
The young novice monk from Baoguang Temple rushed in excitedly, shouting loudly at Hongchen:
"Senior brother, senior brother, come quick! The medicine is working! The patient's fever has subsided, and the red spots on his body have faded considerably! Senior brother, come quick!"
In his joy, he didn't even notice that the regent was present.
He took Hongchen's hand and walked towards the door.
All the doctors were stunned.
They all glanced at Linghu Lan.
"Let's go take a look!" Linghu Lan waved her hand.
"Your Majesty, the ward is full of infectious patients. It's very dangerous. Your Majesty must not put yourself in danger."
"It's alright!"
Seeing that they couldn't persuade them to stay, everyone rushed towards the door.
Hongchen stopped in his tracks and calmly said, "Regent, please wait a moment!"
Linghu Lan stopped in her tracks.
Hongchen hurriedly took out a clean white robe and a white cloth from a medicine box.
"Your Highness, please put this on. Cover your mouth and nose with the white cloth. What the elders said earlier was not an exaggeration!"
"Alright! You help me change it!" Linghu Lan's eyes sparkled with excitement.
