Chapter 490: Wei Dongzhu’s difficulties!
If too many people learn medical skills, wouldn't it destroy the jobs of the doctors in pharmacies?
Shen Lanxi: "I want the people of my Great Zhou to no longer be troubled by the difficulty of curing diseases. I want doctors to be like the academy, with students all over the world, respected and admired by the people of the world. There is no rush for this matter, you should think about it carefully first!"
After she left, the people from the Imperial Hospital immediately sat together to discuss the matter.
"It's hard to say whether a master can become a master with one or two apprentices, let alone start a teaching school. What can the students learn?"
"It's detrimental to the interests of us doctors. If people from all over the world come to study medicine, who would go to the pharmacy to buy medicine and see a doctor? The doctors in the clinic will starve to death. No, no!"
"If she says she will set up a medical school, will the officials do it? Even if they do, where will so many students sign up?"
Those who have a little savings at home all send their children to school. Only those of them who have inherited the family tradition will truly practice medicine.
"Don't medical schools require tuition? With that much money, people would just send their children to school."
"That's not right. Many doctors have family secret recipes that are not passed down to others. No one is willing to share the secret recipes with others!"
No one is optimistic.
"I have a junior fellow apprentice who had both his legs broken due to a misdiagnosis and was kicked out of the Imperial Hospital." After the head of the Imperial Hospital finished speaking, everyone else fell silent.
It was not a misdiagnosis at all. It was the concubines who framed the imperial doctors but failed, so they threw the dirty water on them.
"You mean to introduce your junior brother to that evil star?"
"Shh, keep your voice down." If Shen Lanxi heard them calling her like that behind her back, she would kill their entire family!
The imperial physician who was warned slapped his mouth in fear.
"Although your junior brother was innocent back then, after that, people in our Imperial Hospital found out, and outsiders thought your junior brother was misdiagnosed." If Shen Lanxi knew that the head of the hospital introduced such a person, it would be fatal!
The dean sighed and waved his hand and stopped talking about it.
Two days later, he went out of the city to pay homage. Seeing his junior brother's family living in poverty while guarding their master's tomb, he felt pity for them. After returning, he immediately drew up a list with his junior brother's name at the top.
…
Ban Sicao stayed in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion until the moon reached its zenith before reporting to Zhou Ruyuan.
"Your Highness, the first poison that the young master was poisoned with came from his pajamas. The clothes were smeared with something that made the young master allergic. If I am not mistaken, it should be almond powder."
Zhou Ruyuan has been accompanying Ban Sicao motionlessly until now.
When I heard him say that he had found out the reason, I immediately withdrew my thoughts.
"Almond powder?" Aren't almonds food materials? Can they also cause poisoning?
Ban Sicao: "If it was someone else, they would be fine, but the young master must be allergic to almonds. In addition, the young master has a weak stomach and recently consumed hot tonics and diet, which aggravated his condition and caused the fever."
Zhou Ruyuan looked at Ban Si Cao quietly.
The latter continued, "I have already asked those who know that the young master is allergic to almonds. There are the young master's wet nurse, the four maids and two servants who serve him personally, and in addition, there are the people in the small kitchen and Shen Yuantang."
Zhou Ruyuan's eyes darkened and he immediately interrogated the people in the small kitchen.
“Has the kitchen purchased any almonds recently?”
The people in the small kitchen were so scared that they begged for mercy.
"Your Highness, we are innocent. We all know that the young master cannot eat almonds. Where did we buy them? If you don't believe me, you can check the list. We didn't buy a single almond, and we don't even eat them ourselves." The person in the small kitchen explained angrily.
Ban Si Cao: "I have checked the small kitchen and didn't find any almond powder. Since it was smeared on the clothes, I asked the maids and servants who handled the clothes, and they are all here."
A dozen maids and old women were kneeling together and trembling.
Zhou Ruyuan looked at them coldly, his eyes swept around and fell on one of the maids.
He seemed to have seen this maid before beside Qingling.
Thinking of Bai Qingling's changes, Zhou Ruyuan's heart sank.
"It's getting late, Mr. Ban, go back and get some rest. Please also tell the Queen Regent to thank her for helping with the investigation."
Ban Sicao cupped her hands and said, "Then I won't disturb the prince from doing his household chores."
No matter who he is, he is from the Zhennan Palace and has nothing to do with their prince!
After Ban Sicao left, Zhou Ruyuan pointed at the maid and said coldly, "You dare to murder the master? Take her away and beat her to death!"
The maid who was pointed at was so frightened that her soul almost flew away. After she came to her senses, she immediately shouted at the top of her voice to excuse herself.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. It's the king..."
"Shut her mouth for me. She is still trying to bite the people in the palace before she dies. What a fool!" Zhou Ruyuan was furious. After watching the maid being beaten to death, he immediately went to find Bai Qingling.
How had he done anything wrong to her? Why was he harming his child?
Because of her, his reputation was ruined, his military achievements were lost, and even his mother said he was crazy. If it weren't for her, there wouldn't have been such a thing on the wedding night, and he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Bai Qingling had a bad feeling when Zhou Ruyuan gathered all the servants in the palace together.
In no time, she has dealt with everything, and the prince will definitely not be able to find out.
She has nothing to be afraid of.
Just as she was anxiously pacing around the room, the door was kicked open with a clang.
Zhou Ruyuan's bloodshot eyes met Bai Qingling's, and the latter's heart skipped a beat, and her heart sank to the bottom.
…
When Ban Sicao went back to report, Shen Lanxi was still handling official business.
"Your Majesty, are you still awake?"
Shen Lanxi blinked her sore eyes and said with a smile: "Has the matter of the Zhennan Palace been resolved?"
Ban Sicao thought of Zhou Ruyuan's appearance and said, "Zhou Ruyuan should know who did it."
Shen Lanxi: "That's Bai Qingling."
Ban Sicao twitched the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty really understands the Prince of Zhennan."
Shen Lanxi: "When dealing with an opponent, you must know both yourself and the enemy, so that you can win every battle."
Ban Sicao thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Ruyuan has locked up Shen Yuantang, saying that she has gone insane."
Shen Lanxi: "Zhou Ruyuan will leave tomorrow, so he can't be locked up for too long."
Ban Sicao asked curiously, "Your Highness doesn't seem to be curious at all about who did it? Could it be that he knows who did it?"
Shen Lanxi said calmly: "What's there to be curious about? It's nothing more than trying to divert trouble and use this incident to stir up a conflict between me and Zhou Ruyuan. You don't even need to think about it, I know who did it."
"Who?" Ban Sicao asked curiously.
Shen Lanxi: "My enemies, those who don't want me to sit in this position, those who want to drive me off the stage!"
Ban Sicao deliberately joked: "That's a big range."
Shen Lanxi: "Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to strengthen ourselves. Rats are rats. As long as they are rats, they dare not walk from the dark to the light. What do I have to fear!"
