The Central Palace is definitely the most majestic place in the harem, with the largest palace, the most palace slaves, and the strictest palace rules. (om Junzi Juyitang.com) Emperor Tianwu gave his affection to Concubine Yun and his power to the Empress. More than a decade ago, the other palaces were equally blessed, but since Concubine Yun entered the palace, those concubines have not received even a little bit of blessing.
When Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng arrived, the Queen was said to be in Qiankun Hall with the Emperor to discuss matters. The female official in charge took the two to the side hall where Ru Jia was currently living, and said to Feng Yuheng very familiarly: "When Princess Xiang came to the palace to ask the county lady to diagnose her illness, she also lived in this side hall."
Feng Yuheng raised an eyebrow, "I'm not here to see a doctor this time."
Xuan Tianming patted the back of her hand, "Hey! It's okay to take a look. But the consultation fee of Ji'an County Master is a bit high."
Feng Yuheng's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood what he meant, so he smiled and said, "Yes, when I treated Princess Xiang's illness, the other party's consultation fee was a jade mine. Princess Rujia's injury is so serious that it is much more difficult to treat it than Princess Xiang's."
"Then you can charge more for the consultation fee, County Lady." As they were talking, they had already walked to the side hall door. The female official stretched out her hand to push the door open and continued, "The palace sends doctors to check Princess Rujia's pulse every day, but the doctors also said that Princess Rujia's internal organs and heart were damaged. All the good medicines in the palace have been used up, but there is still no improvement. In addition, the whip wounds on her body will leave scars on the outside even if the internal injuries are healed."
A few people entered the house, and an imperial physician was walking out. When he saw Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng, he quickly knelt down to greet them.
Xuan Tianming asked him: "What medicine did you give to the princess?"
The imperial physician thought for a moment and replied, "We are using all the ginseng and ganoderma from the Imperial Hospital. The Empress said that we should give her whatever medicine works best. If this doesn't work, then we can only blame Princess Qian Zhou for her bad luck. There is nothing we can do."
Feng Yuheng laughed inwardly. Whatever medicine is good, it doesn't matter if it is for the right disease or not. This is the attitude of the queen, and also the attitude of the emperor. When Kang Yi first entered the palace, he obviously did some research on the affairs of the Dashun royal family, played the emotional card, poked the weak spot of Emperor Tianwu, and successfully aroused Emperor Tianwu's longing for his deceased sister.
Unfortunately, no amount of yearning could overcome Ru Jia's scolding of Xuan Tian Ming. Emperor Tian Wu could tolerate anything, but he couldn't tolerate anything at all towards Concubine Yun and her son. When Concubine Yun got angry, he threw Concubine Bu Bai Ping half to death and also killed Minister Bu. Now that Xuan Tian Ming was being scolded, judging from his performance, he was basically going to treat Ru Jia to death.
Feng Yuxing sometimes thought that it was fortunate that Xuan Tianming was a man of high moral character and could bear the trust placed in him by Tianwu. If he was a useless son, I'm afraid that the Dashun Kingdom would be destroyed in his hands.
As she thought about it, she pushed Xuan Tianming forward a few steps and said to the imperial physician, "Go make a list of all the medicines Princess Rujia has taken, note how much of each herb was used, and keep them safe. I'll find a chance to ask Qian Zhou for the money later."
The imperial physician was sweating. As soon as he heard that Princess Rujia was going to be treated in this way, he knew that Dashun was deliberately making trouble for Qian Zhou. He also heard that Princess Rujia had angered Princess Ji'an, and that all the injuries on her body were caused by Princess Ji'an whipping her. He couldn't help but wipe his sweat and said in a low voice, "I obey your command." Then he stood up and left the side hall.
Feng Yuheng and the other two walked to Ru Jia's bed and stopped three steps away. They saw her covering her nose and asking the maid in the room, "What's that smell?"
A young palace maid stepped forward and replied: "My Lady, Princess Rujia has been suffering from incontinence recently. I'm afraid it's another case of..."
"That's enough." The female official interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "Say whatever you want, you are not afraid of polluting the ears of the prince and the county lady." Then she turned around and said to Feng Yuheng, "She is so seriously ill, I am afraid she will never be cured if she is not treated." She shook her head while speaking, and sighed regretfully at Ru Jia, "Such a young princess, what a pity."
Ru Jia, who was lying on the couch, was wrapped in white cotton cloth like a dumpling, with only her head exposed. When she heard someone coming, she turned around to look, but just happened to see Feng Yuheng's cold eyes and hear the words said by the female official that made her almost despair.
When Ru Jia saw Feng Yuheng, her eyes turned red, and she was like a wild animal, gritting her teeth and desperately rushing forward. Unfortunately, she was wrapped in cotton strips, so she couldn't move. In addition, the twisting involved the wound, and the pain made her cry.
"Feng Yuheng!" She bit her teeth so hard that they were almost broken. "Just wait. Sooner or later, my uncle will come to the capital to avenge me. When that happens, I will tear you into pieces!"
Feng Yuheng frowned: "You mean... Qian Zhou, as a vassal state, wants to rebel? Quickly--" She pretended to grab the female official's arm: "Quickly report to the emperor and say that Qian Zhou wants to rebel. Please send troops to suppress it quickly!"
This sentence almost frightened Ru Jia to death, and she immediately shouted: "Wait! No, there is no treason! Feng Yuheng, don't slander me!"
Feng Yuheng didn't understand, "You said it yourself, your uncle wants to kill you in the capital. If this is not called treason, then what is treason?"
Xuan Tianming was not happy either. "I, Dashun, believe that I treat my vassal states well. Although I accept your tribute every year, the food and national policies I provide to my vassal states are several times more than the tribute I receive. You, Qianzhou, are frozen all year round and no grass grows. Most of the food you eat comes from Dashun. Why haven't the people of Qianzhou learned the principle of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of water?"
"You——" Ru Jia opened her mouth to curse out of habit, but the pain cells all over her body successfully blocked her words. She knew that this person couldn't be cursed. Last time, Feng Yuheng beat her like this just because he heard her. If she cursed in front of him this time, would she still be alive?
But the anger in her heart had nowhere to vent, and her face turned red, her eyes bulged out, and she looked very scary.
The female official asked her, "Is the princess feeling unwell? The doctors from the Imperial Hospital have been taking turns to see her, but the princess is too seriously injured and her heart has been affected. The doctors can do nothing about it. Now they are just using thousand-year-old ginseng to keep her alive, waiting for Princess Ji'an to come."
"Why wait for her?" Ru Jia had become accustomed to seeing the desperate expressions and sighs of the imperial doctors in the past few days, and had even made plans to die. But... "Do I have to be humiliated by this bitch before I die?"
Xuan Tianming gathered his energy, and the whip in his hand moved violently. Without thinking, he swung it over again. The tip of the whip hit Ru Jia's mouth exactly.
Ru Jia only felt that her two lips suddenly burst open, and a huge pain came over her instantly, and she almost fainted from the pain.
She was breathing heavily. A maid came forward to wipe the blood off her with a handkerchief, but she pushed her away. Ru Jia went crazy, and with her rabbit-like lips, she loudly questioned Xuan Tianming: "You even beat a woman?"
Xuan Tianming rolled his eyes. “In my eyes, there is no gender difference, only shamelessness. You are shameless, why should I care whether you are a man or a woman? Bitch? Say it again and try? I can guarantee that as soon as you say it, this whip will immediately wrap around your tongue and pull it out by the roots.”
Ru Jia was so scared that her face turned pale. These two people, are they demons? There are actually such people in the world, and they are actually a couple. Oh my God! If I had known that the second daughter of the Feng family had such a temper, I would have beaten her to death and she would not have come to Dashun!
The little princess finally felt scared and started to cry. She dared not say a single bad word. Although the doctor said she would not live long, she was wrapped like a dumpling every day and could not even go to the toilet by herself, but she still wanted to live. One more day is one more day. What if... what if her uncle can come to save her?
At this time, the female official replied to her previous question: "Princess, we are waiting for Princess Ji'an to come, of course, to save you! Don't you know? The best doctor in Dashun is not in the Imperial Hospital, but Princess Ji'an!"
Ru Jia's eyes widened, as if she had heard the funniest joke. She turned her head and asked the female official, "She? Save me? She beat me like this, and now I have new injuries instead of being treated. Is she here to save people or to kill people?"
Feng Yuheng took two steps forward, stared at her and said, "To save or to kill, it depends on your choice. Rujia, you and I have no grudge, but firstly, you shouldn't scold His Royal Highness the Prince, and secondly, if you can survive, go and ask your mother what she has done. I tell you the truth, beating you is a light punishment. If one day my aunt is unhappy, even if I kill you, your mother won't dare to question me. Do you believe it?"
Ru Jiaxin shuddered, but she really believed Feng Yuheng's words. They came to Dashun with impure motives. If Feng Yuheng killed her, would her mother avenge her?
Her neck was a little stiff, and she wanted to turn her head to look at Feng Yuheng, but she didn't have the courage. After a while, she heard Feng Yuheng ask again: "Whether you are dead or alive, you should give me an answer! This county lady is also very busy, how can I waste my time with you here?"
Ru Jia subconsciously said: "Live! I want to live!"
"Okay!" Feng Yuheng said loudly, "It's no problem if you want to live. This county lady will personally come to your rescue. Not only can I save you, but I can also remove the scars on your body. It's just..." She paused, and asked with a playful tone, but it made people feel a little gloomy: "Qian Zhou, how much are you prepared to pay for the consultation?"
"Consultation fee?" Ru Jia was stunned. "What consultation fee?"
The female official took the initiative to speak: "Princess Qian Zhou, medical treatment will cost money."
Ru Jia rolled her eyes and became smart: "If I had already entered the Feng Mansion with my mother, the Feng family would be my home, and Prime Minister Feng would be my father. If my daughter is sick, I would naturally have to ask my father for money for treatment."
"Oh." Feng Yuheng nodded, "Okay, then I will send someone back to ask how much silver your father can come up with. But there is one thing I must remind you of. In order to marry your mother, your father has already spent all the money in the Feng Mansion, and now he still owes the old lady tens of thousands of taels of personal money."
Ru Jia's heart sank, and she heard Xuan Tianming suddenly say, "I do have an idea, Princess, why don't you listen to it and see if it's worthwhile--"
... The daughter of a genius doctor
