Jiang Ying snorted in his heart while taking the patient's pulse.
Isn’t this Hu Xinglin the imperial physician who poisoned my grandmother?
It was really exciting to meet my enemy on the first day of entering the palace!
"Miss Jiang, my diagnosis is correct, right? The imperial concubine... the imperial concubine really shows some signs of miscarriage!" Hu Xinglin had a simple and honest face, about forty years old. He hunched his body and lowered his head, looking steady and sincere, not at all like a cruel and ruthless person.
But Jiang Ying believed in Yan Zhuo's ability and would not wrongly accuse him.
Therefore, he just remained indifferent when he heard this, without responding, and looked like he was concentrating on taking the patient's pulse.
This made Hu Xinglin nervous. Although he didn't believe in his heart that Jiang Ying, a little girl who hadn't even grown all her hair, could have any great medical skills, he was in a hurry to speak because he didn't want any problems that arose later to be blamed on him because of Jiang Ying's involvement.
This girl clearly came to the palace to gild her status. She is from Duke Jiang's mansion and is the future princess of a county.
With such a powerful background, if something goes wrong, he will be the scapegoat.
Hu Xinglin thought about it, feeling a little unhappy. He had endured for so many years to become an imperial physician valued by the noble lady. He thought that as long as the imperial concubine gave birth to this baby, he would be a real favorite in front of the emperor. But then a little girl showed up and tried to steal the credit!
They also asserted that Concubine Chen must have twins, a boy and a girl. Why?
Unless she has X-ray vision!
"Your Majesty, how come Miss Jiang hasn't come up with any conclusion after so long? Is it because the pulse is too complicated, catching Miss Jiang off guard? Or maybe Miss Jiang agrees with my diagnosis, but is afraid of scaring Your Majesty by saying it out loud, so she is thinking of a more tactful explanation." Hu Xinglin stood at the end of the bed, speaking in a tone like an elder indulging a younger person's mischief.
Concubine Chen's already frightened face suddenly turned pale.
This morning, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and there were some brown marks on her underwear, which looked like blood, so she immediately summoned Doctor Hu to the palace.
This was her first child, twins, which she had been waiting for for many years, so she had to keep them at all costs.
At this moment, after hearing what Hu Xinglin said, she couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes and grabbed Jiang Ying's hand, "Miss Jiang, is it... is it really like what Doctor Hu said, that I... am I going to lose these two children?"
Jiang Ying was interrupted midway through taking a pulse and frowned unconsciously. She glanced at Aunt Yuexi, who was standing by the bed with a worried look on her face. "Aunt, could you please ask Imperial Physician Hu to step aside for a moment? I don't like outsiders present when I'm treating patients, especially those who talk too much."
It is very clear from this statement that he dislikes Hu Xinglin's noisiness.
Aunt Yuexi didn't expect that Jiang Ying, who looked kind and gentle, would speak so boldly and without giving anyone face. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
He looked at Concubine Chen and asked her for instructions.
Concubine Chen hesitated for a moment, thinking of some private symptoms. She could tell Jiang Ying without hesitation, but Doctor Hu was a man after all, so it would be inconvenient. So she nodded and said, "Yuexi, please ask Doctor Hu to wait in the side hall. Remember to serve him the best tea."
As he spoke, he personally apologized to Hu Xinglin, "I'm sorry, Doctor Hu, for being negligent."
Hu Xinglin's heart sank. He couldn't believe it. The imperial concubine actually sent him away for a young maid?
How outrageous!
He lowered his head, hiding the anger in his eyes. "Your Majesty, I have been your caregiver since the beginning. It's not that I don't trust Miss Jiang's medical skills, but since this concerns the heir to the throne, Your Majesty should be more cautious. I am sorry for being too talkative and hindering Miss Jiang's pulse diagnosis. From now on, I will not speak any more."
How could he leave? Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
What's more, he wanted to hear what a little girl could say differently.
The imperial concubine's pregnancy was indeed unstable, and he could guarantee this even with his life on his neck!
"This..." Concubine Chen hesitated. After all, she had used Hu Xinglin for a longer time and trusted him more.
Jiang Ying didn't force her, but simply withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Fine. Then, please, Aunt Yuexi, bring me the panties that the queen changed this morning. Although you all suspect there's blood, the structure of a woman's private parts is complex, so it might not be blood."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
Not to mention Concubine Chen, even the aunt in charge, Yuexi, was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Miss Jiang is so bold!
Hu Xinglin was even more apprehensive, feeling as if he had cuckolded the emperor. He pointed a finger at Jiang Ying fiercely, "You...you did it on purpose! The Imperial Concubine's underwear is not something a man like me, an outsider, should be allowed to see!"
Jiang Ying turned around and smiled slightly. "So, when I asked Doctor Hu to leave just now, it wasn't all for his sake, right? It was to prevent Doctor Hu from staying and offending the Empress and the Emperor. Who knew Doctor Hu wouldn't leave? What could I do then?"
Hu Xinglin, “!!!”
"Jiang, you'd better have some ability to relieve the Empress's symptoms, otherwise... hmph!" Hu Xinglin was speechless and walked away with a flick of his sleeves. "Goodbye!"
Yuexi quickly sent it out.
Only Jiang Ying and Concubine Chen were left in the hall.
Seeing that Jiang Ying and Doctor Hu were not getting along, Concubine Chen had no intention of watching the fun, but became even more worried.
Her slender fingers tightly grasped the quilt, "Miss Jiang, my baby..."
Jiang Ying knew how she felt. Before Concubine Chen could finish, she firmly held her trembling hand and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. There are some minor problems with the fetus, which has caused instability and signs of threatened miscarriage. But fortunately, it's not serious. I am confident that I can make it right."
"What? Threatened miscarriage?" Concubine Chen was terrified.
