Disfigured Female Doctor 35
There was silence in the hall.
The palace maids around lowered their heads and placed their hands in front of them, and no one spoke.
After a moment, the person in a high position spoke up: "Zhao Ming has put a lot of effort into the affairs of Tanzhou."
Xiao Zhaoming leaned forward and said, "It is a blessing to be able to share the worries of the emperor."
"Good, good, good." The emperor suddenly laughed a few times, "Compared to those who just eat and wait to die, Zhaoming is the least of my worries."
Shen Wanyue didn't dare to look up, she just kept her head down and said nothing.
My body is shaking, I don’t know when I can get to the point.
As if listening to her thoughts, a deep, old, but powerful voice came from the palace door behind her: "Emperor."
Hearing the voice, the emperor on the high throne stood up and walked down step by step: "Mother."
Shen Wanyue and Xiao Zhaoming both turned around.
The person who came was the Queen Mother, the biological mother of the current Emperor.
"Emperor, what is the purpose of sending me here?"
The emperor forced a smile on his wrinkled face: "Mother, I have something important to discuss with you."
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager is the Emperor's biological mother and he has always respected her.
After Xiao Zhaoming wrote to him saying that there was a problem with the imperial physician of his mother, he became panic-stricken, because he was the one who promoted that person, and he thought that there would be no problem with the country man, and it would be nice for him to be a companion to his mother.
Who would have thought that he was so vicious! In order to win the credit, he could even kill his own daughter.
No matter how much he disliked Xiao Zhaoming, he would not dare to joke about his mother's life.
The Queen Mother had white hair and was bent over, looking like a boiled shrimp - this was Shen Wanyue's first impression of the Queen Mother.
"Oh...I'm old, and walking more is good for my health." She lowered her eyebrows, as if in deep thought and regret.
The emperor originally wanted to handle the matter in the empress dowager's palace, but he was afraid that the news would leak out and the vicious imperial physician would have to come up with a countermeasure.
"Mother, please sit like this." The emperor personally reached out and helped the empress dowager to sit down in a seat that had been prepared long ago.
"Um."
The emperor did not like his younger brother Xiao Zhaoming. This time, Tanzhou had done a really good job and people from all walks of life in the court were praising him, so he had to reward him.
Some people even said that Xiao Zhaoming should be asked to attend court to discuss matters. How could this be possible?
But the other party cares about my mother, so he should be showing goodwill to me. There is no reason for me to ignore him.
Besides, what could happen to a blind man?
The mother and son were reserved for a long time.
Shen Wanyue couldn't hold on any longer, and sweat dripped down her forehead.
Her body was shaking, and just when she was about to fall, Xiao Zhaoming beside her supported her and asked, "How long can you hold on?"
The sound was very low, and if the two of them were not close together, Shen Wanyue would not have been able to hear it.
She replied: "....Can you let me pretend to faint?"
I just can't hold on any longer.
Xiao Zhaoming said mercilessly: "Stand still."
hehe.
The Queen Mother was the first to notice that something was wrong with Shen Wanyue.
She spoke slowly: "This lady is..."
An old voice reached people's ears.
The emperor turned his gaze back to the two of them, and only then realized that Chen Wanyue was in a bad condition: "Come here, give her a seat."
"yes."
Soon, a young eunuch brought a chair and placed it behind the man.
Chen Wanyue thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying this, he let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair.
Xiao Zhaoming said, "This is the daughter of the imperial physician Zhou Shizhou."
The Queen Mother was slightly surprised and said, "Oh? Doctor Zhou never mentioned it."
Chen Wanyue didn't expect that they would talk about her so soon, and thought that they would exchange pleasantries again.
"Cough cough..." She covered her mouth gently and coughed softly.
Xiao Zhaoming was still standing. He bent down, put his hands on her shoulders, and said gently, "Don't worry."
Then he raised his head and looked towards the high seat, his eyes full of pity: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother. I met Madam Zhou by chance in Tanzhou. She was dying at that time, and it was Mr. Wu who kept her alive. I hope Your Majesty and Queen Mother can give her justice."
Every word comes from the heart.
The Queen Mother frowned and put her right hand fingers on her forehead: "Zhao Ming, please explain clearly."
Mentioning Doctor Zhou.
No matter what, he should have gone to see Dr. Zhou first. Why did a prince go directly to the emperor to appeal his grievances?
Is there still any law?
Just because of this point, the Queen Mother had no good impression of the lower-ranking Xiao Zhaoming and Shen Wanyue.
But after all, she was only the Queen Mother. She turned her head, lifted her eyelids as much as she could, and looked at the Emperor: "Emperor, even if there are grievances and injustices, it is not your responsibility. Leave it to the officials below."
The emperor looked solemn, as this matter concerned his own judgment.
Furthermore, the situation in Tanzhou has just improved, and the epidemic in other places has not been completely cured. If this matter is handed over to other officials, it will inevitably cause gossip.
He said, "I insisted on handling it. Doctor Zhou was promoted by me personally, and he works by your side. I can only feel at ease if I personally conduct the interrogation."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother opened her tired eyelids, and beneath her wrinkled eyelids were cloudy but shocked eyes: "What does this matter... have to do with Zhou Shi?"
She had a bad feeling in her heart.
Shen Wanyue didn't say anything the whole time. She didn't want to deal with these people, either physically or mentally.
The cloth strips on Xiao Zhaoming's eyes had been taken off at some point and were being put back on at this moment.
The emperor sighed and explained the matter to his mother in person: "It is my fault."
The Queen Mother shook her head in disapproval: "How could the Emperor be wrong?"
Shen Wanyue twitched the corner of her mouth.
They hire people at will without checking their backgrounds and are not afraid of taking your life.
Anyone could find out about Zhou Shi’s past if they wanted to.
If Xiao Zhaoming, a prince, could find out, why couldn't the emperor? Even if he randomly assigned someone to inquire about his reputation, he wouldn't treat him as an imperial physician.
The Queen Mother looked very unhappy. She said, "Call Zhou Shi over."
The only eunuch standing next to the emperor kept his head down and said in a slightly sharp voice: "Yes."
He kept his head down when he walked, and because he was short, it was difficult to see the emotions in his eyes.
He did not stop at all when passing by Xiao Zhaoming.
But Shen Wanyue could feel a gaze lingering on her for a moment.
Her body trembled subconsciously.
Xiao Zhaoming tilted his head: "Still feeling uncomfortable?"
She shook her head: "It's a bit cold."
Xiao Zhaoming didn't say anything else. He couldn't see, but he could feel the difference in the person sitting next to him: "Be patient." He said nothing more.
"Um."
Shen Wanyue's thoughts drifted to other places unconsciously.
What exactly does Xiao Zhaoming want to do?
Unexpectedly, in the peaceful palace, the Queen Mother suddenly called out to him, "What's your name?"
Chen Wanyue raised her head and sat up unconsciously: "Zhou Wan."
The Queen Mother frowned and said unhappily, "It's rude. Don't you know how to stand up when answering? And you're covering your face."
The emperor frowned slightly, not knowing who he was talking to, but he said, "She is seriously poisoned, it is not easy for her to survive and see me."
The Queen Mother vented her dissatisfaction on Xiao Zhaoming who was standing beside her: "Humph! Bringing such a rude person directly to the Emperor, Zhaoming is becoming even more unruly."
Although the tone is serious, the energy is weak.
It is a blame, but also a fear.
Xiao Zhaoming didn't care.
Shen Wanyue secretly rolled her eyes.
However, she had a rough guess in her mind that the Queen Mother would favor Zhou Shi.
She reached out her hand tremblingly to lift the brim of her hat and said, "It's just that I don't know the rules..."
After a moment, a pale face covered with pus-filled sores appeared. The emperor and the empress dowager gasped after seeing it clearly.
"this....."
Chen Wanyue smiled bitterly and said, "It's caused by the poison... Anyone who takes the poison will have needle-like scars, but they are more serious. If Mr. Wu hadn't given me the medicine, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the emperor and the queen mother."
As he spoke, tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
He originally looked miserable, but because of that face he became terrifying.
The Queen Mother opened her mouth slightly, unable to hide the shock and fear in her eyes.
The emperor thought he had frightened his mother, and ordered Shen Wanyue to put on the brim of her hat: "Mother..."
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to push the Emperor away: "I'm fine..."
It was just so shocking.
Didn’t Zhou Shi say that everyone who knew about Mandu had disappeared?
As long as the poisoned person has no chance of survival...
Damn Zhou Shi actually dared to deceive himself!
Xiao Zhaoming curled his lips slightly, but since he was always smiling, no one noticed anything wrong.
Shen Wanyue was different, she noticed the emotion in the Queen Mother's eyes—it was definitely not a reaction of fear on her face.
More of it is... fear.
If you're not afraid of your own face, then what are you afraid of?
Could it be a spreading poison?
With this guess, she subconsciously looked at Xiao Zhaoming beside her and saw that smile.
Chen Wanyue turned her gaze back without changing her expression, tears welling up in her eyes, making it difficult to discern her emotions.
The emperor respected his mother very much.
It is said that he attaches great importance to family affection.
Soon, the eunuch who had gone out came in with a man.
That person was Zhou Shi.
He was living a very comfortable life these days.
Yesterday, his new concubine was diagnosed as pregnant, and he was feeling very proud.
The eunuch who came to ask for my safety just now only said that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager wanted to see him. I originally thought that they just wanted to check on my pulse.
Unexpectedly, she followed the little eunuch happily, turning left and right and arriving at the main hall.
I had questions in my mind, but I didn't ask them.
Until I walked into the hall, I saw a person standing in the middle of the hall and another person sitting...and judging from their attire, they seemed to be a woman.
To be granted a seat by the Emperor in the palace, he must be an important person. I should inquire more about him and build good relationships with him.
He didn't feel like he was floating around, he just took a quick look, then lowered his head and walked to the front.
"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."
Zhou Shi knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, and to the Empress Dowager."
I thought I would be able to get up soon, but I didn't hear any sound from the two people above.
At this moment, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Chen Wanyue compared the person in front of her with the person in Zhou Wan's memory...
Well, a little fatter.
Since neither the emperor nor the empress dowager spoke, she didn't know how to speak either.
Xiao Zhaoming did not move, but just put one hand on her shoulder, as if he was really worried about her health.
She raised her shoulders slightly, and Xiao Zhaoming increased the strength of his hands, meaning that she should not move.
pain.
The emperor and the empress dowager both looked unhappy.
Finally, it was the Queen Mother who spoke: "Zhou Shi, stand up."
The emperor disagreed, but said nothing.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Zhou Shi stood up and shook his sleeves.
He didn't ask what the purpose of his coming was...it wasn't a good thing anyway, so it was better not to ask.
The Queen Mother was thinking about how to explain this matter quickly.
This matter is huge, but if it is handled as a family affair, nothing serious should happen to the Zhou family.
Besides, the emperor is a filial person and would never offend him.
He was thinking about it and was about to speak when the emperor snorted coldly and said, "Look back and see who that is."
