Chapter 24: The Queen Mother has only been alive for a few years?
ㄟ(▔ ,▔)ㄏ
Imperial Physician Huang has always been disdainful of people who use backdoors, so he has a bad relationship with Imperial Physician Sun. In short, he dislikes everything about him.
Of course, the palace is full of conspiracies and calculations, and he is not a brainless person.
The reason why he dared to be so cold and indifferent to Imperial Physician Sun was because he relied on the fact that he was highly regarded by the Emperor and his own medical skills were very strong.
Imperial Physician Huang thought for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's health did not become like this overnight. According to my diagnosis, it has been about 20 to 30 years."
"The damage to his internal organs is extremely serious. He is taking precious medicinal herbs every day to maintain his health. That is why his complexion is normal and no one can tell that there is anything wrong with his body."
"However, this is only a temporary solution. The Queen Mother is now at the end of her strength. No amount of medicinal herbs can cure her. In short, she won't be able to survive for many years..."
Having said that, Imperial Physician Huang wisely shut his mouth.
The emperor is as smart as he is, so he must have understood what he meant.
Oh my goodness, it’s not good to have too good medical skills.
Isn’t it?
If I'm not careful, I'll diagnose a serious problem, and I might even lose my head!
But he was not afraid. He never formed cliques and always spoke his mind. This was how he gained the emperor's trust. He believed that the emperor would protect him.
hey-hey! (ˉˉ)
As he said, Emperor Luo instantly understood the hidden meaning of Imperial Physician Huang's words.
I'm shocked. My mother is only a few years old?
What is going on?
Emperor Luo's eyes were gloomy and he fell into deep thought. After a long while, he turned his head to look at Aunt Hua, who was staring with eyes wide open with a look of horror and disbelief.
"Madam Hua, tell me, is Imperial Physician Sun the one that the Third Prince strongly recommended to the Queen Mother?"
If someone said that this matter had nothing to do with Luo Fangjin, he would not believe a word of it. (ì _ í)
Aunt Hua shook her head vigorously a few times, then slapped herself a few times. After she woke herself up, she fell to her knees with red eyes.
With a choked voice, he said, "In reply to the emperor's words, Imperial Doctor Sun was indeed the imperial doctor recommended by the Third Prince himself. The Third Prince also said that Imperial Doctor Sun was the direct disciple of the last chief judge of the Imperial Hospital."
"The Queen Mother believes in the Third Prince's judgment. In the past ten years, the Queen Mother has only asked Dr. Sun to diagnose her pulse. She has not summoned any other doctors from the Imperial Hospital."
When Emperor Luo heard this, a chill filled his deep eyes.
Nearly ten years!
Take office as the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau!
Counting the days, he has been emperor for exactly ten years.
At that time, the throne was changing, and it was a turbulent time. There was also a turmoil in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and people inside were killed or injured.
The previous director of the Imperial Medical Bureau died in that turmoil. Not only him, but almost all other high-ranking imperial physicians died, leaving only a few minor imperial physicians.
Since then, the number of staff in the Imperial Medical Service has been greatly reduced.
It was not until he ascended the throne that he gradually found some imperial doctors with superb medical skills among the people, and Imperial Doctor Huang was one of them.
But nowadays, there is no director or imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Service, only the position of imperial physician.
Mainly!
He felt that the position of imperial physician was too unlucky and that the person belonged to a high-risk group, so he did not dare to promote him easily, for fear that he would die again if he was not careful.
Imperial Physician Huang was the imperial physician he respected the most.
Judging from his abilities, he was qualified for the position of court judge, but he was not promoted. However, his salary and rights were basically the same as those of a court judge.
Therefore, the Imperial Medical Bureau is now solely managed by Imperial Physician Huang.
Emperor Luo's eyes were deep, and he clenched his fists until they creaked. "Madam Hua, think carefully, who were the people who diagnosed the Queen Mother's pulse ten years ago?"
Aunt Hua thought about it and her brows were almost knotted into a knot.
"To answer your Majesty's question, ten years ago, there were many people who diagnosed the Empress Dowager's pulse, including the then court judge, the imperial physician, and the imperial physician. Basically, more than half of the people in the entire Imperial Hospital had examined the Empress Dowager."
At this point, Aunt Hua's face changed drastically.
If Imperial Physician Huang's diagnosis was correct, then all the previous imperial physicians had deceived the Empress Dowager.
How dare they be so bold!
She was so blind that she didn't notice anything unusual!
Nanny Hua felt both guilty and angry, and looked at Emperor Luo with tears in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault that I was blind and didn't take good care of the Queen Mother. That's why she was deceived by someone with ulterior motives and her body is so badly injured. Please, Your Majesty, take charge of the Queen Mother and severely punish Imperial Physician Sun."
"As for the imperial doctors who treated the Queen Mother ten years ago, they all died in the turmoil that year."
"I seriously suspect that someone behind the scenes has plotted against the Queen Mother. Otherwise, why would these people be involved with the Queen Mother and be murdered to silence them?"
"They are the people behind this. They are afraid that Your Majesty will find out something is wrong and conduct a thorough investigation. So they decided to kill all the doctors who knew about it."
"In this case, apart from the imperial physician who died that year, the only one who knows about this is the Imperial Physician Sun who is currently examining the Empress Dowager's pulse."
"Therefore, please ask the Emperor to make the decision for the Empress Dowager. You must arrest Imperial Physician Sun and find out his true purpose. This will clear the Empress Dowager's name!"
The more Aunt Hua thought about it, the angrier she became.
Queen Mother, why are you so confused? Why do you trust the Third Prince so much?
If he really cared about your health, he would not have recommended Imperial Physician Sun to you because he had ulterior motives.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but I didn't expect that the son would be so cruel that he would even dare to deceive his mother who loved and doted on him. It's really despicable.
A murderous look flashed across Emperor Luo's eyes, and he immediately ordered the commander of the Imperial Guards, "Commander Wang, send people to surround the Imperial Hospital, and don't let even a fly escape. Imprison Imperial Physician Sun in the Sky Prison and torture him to extract a confession."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Commander Wang accepted the order respectfully.
Emperor Luo looked at the empress dowager lying on the bed with her eyes closed and a pale face. There were complex emotions in his eyes, and there was heartache at the corners of his eyes.
etc.
Imperial Physician Huang just said that the Queen Mother's health did not become so weak overnight, but it has been around for almost 20 to 30 years.
Twenty or thirty years!
If he remembered correctly, his third younger brother was exactly thirty years old this year.
He really couldn't understand why his mother's body began to become weak and frail when he was born?
If you say the whole thing has nothing to do with him, no one would believe it.
But why did he ask the imperial physician to hide his mother's illness? Was he afraid that she would notice something wrong with her body? Or do you not want her to live a few more years?
Could it be...
Emperor Luo's pupils suddenly shrank.
Could it be that Luo Fangjin's background is different?
"Madam Hua, if I remember correctly, my third brother is exactly thirty years old this year."
Aunt Hua was stunned. "To answer your Majesty, the Third Prince is indeed over thirty years old."
She still remembered that when the Third Prince turned thirty years old, the Queen Mother went out of the palace to the Third Prince's residence to celebrate his birthday.
Hey, wait a minute.
Aunt Hua's pupils widened and her heart skipped a beat.
The Emperor would not ask about the Third Prince's age for no reason, and the Third Prince's age just happened to coincide with the time when the Empress Dowager had health problems.
Oh my god!
This, this, this...what on earth is going on?
Looking at Nanny Hua's face full of disbelief and astonishment, Emperor Luo curled his lips.
He knew that although his mother was confused, Nanny Hua beside her was extremely intelligent.
There were some things that didn't require him to say much, as Aunt Hua knew what they meant.
