"Sir, you are a miracle doctor! You must have a way!" Pang Yi's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he knelt in front of Gu Changlin with a plop. He held Gu Changlin's legs tightly with both hands, and choked up and said, "Sir, it is really not easy for me. I have been the prince for so many years. I am in a very difficult situation. But how can I have a peaceful day? His Majesty never treats him as a son, but only as an enemy. The princes regard him as a mortal enemy. Only the Queen Mother treats him well, but... But isn't the Queen Mother's kindness also mixed with calculation and exploitation? Sir, I am really pitiful. I have lived in fear every day since I was a child. In the end, didn't I have to live like this? Fortunately, with the company of my wife, I finally made it. Although now I am just... A commoner. But I am more ambitious than before. Sir, you have seen it with your own eyes. What kind of relationship do I have with my wife, and how much I rely on her. I also hope that I can stand up as soon as possible. I really don’t have any requirements now, I just want to stand up. If I can’t stand up in this life, I’m afraid...” Pang Yi didn’t say what he was afraid of. He kowtowed to Gu Changlin three times. When he looked up again, his forehead was already covered with dirty snow. “Sir, you must cure me. If you cure me, you will be able to save two people! Sir, please!”
Gu Changlin reached out and brushed away the dirty snow on Pang Yi's face bit by bit. His lips were slightly open, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time. Seeing that Pang Yi was about to say something, he covered Pang Yi's mouth in annoyance and sighed helplessly, "Don't say anything. I'm incapable."
Pang Yi's face suddenly froze, and his eyes stared blankly at the dark night. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will return to the capital and skin those people one by one!"
"Which imperial physician was in charge of Mingwei's health in the past?" After a long silence, Gu Changlin suddenly asked Pang Yi.
"It's the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Qin Lu." Pang Yi answered hurriedly.
"Normally, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau is only responsible for looking after the health of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and Empress. Why is Qin Lu also concerned about Mingwei's health?" Gu Changlin said with a frown.
"It was the Queen Mother's idea," Pang Yi said, "My master is the only son of Queen Zhenxian, so he is precious. He was brought up by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother values my master's health very much, so she appointed Qin Lu to check my master's pulse every day. Qin Lu has been taking care of my master's health all these years."
"Has Qin Lu been the only one who has looked after Ming Wei's health since he was a child?" Gu Changlin frowned even more. "Has there been no other imperial physicians in the meantime?"
Pang Yi thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, although I went to Southern Xinjiang when I was fifteen, I have always been very concerned about the Eastern Palace. Over the years, it has always been Dean Qin who has been taking care of my health, and no other imperial physician has taken over."
"Is it the Qin Law designated by the Queen Mother herself?" Gu Changlin asked again in a deep voice.
"Yes, it was the Queen Mother's idea. There was a dispute in the harem because of this matter. People said that the eldest prince was overstepping his authority. Later, His Majesty came forward and granted permission, and the matter was dropped," Pang Yi said, staring at Gu Changlin's face and asking hesitantly, "Sir, could it be that the reason why my leg injury cannot be healed is related to the past?"
Gu Changlin said nothing, just shook his head.
He was not sure who had deliberately poisoned Zhong Mingwei over the years. Was it Qin Lu? Was it the maid? Was it the various women in the harem?
So what is their purpose? Who is their master?
but……
"Qin Lu..." Gu Changlin murmured, recalling the unpleasant and hasty meeting he had with Qin Lu in the capital when he was young, introduced by Ding Yunwen.
Qin Lu was cold and stubborn, and was arrogant because of his talent. He looked down on Ding Yunwen, a country doctor, because he was from a famous family. If Ding Yunwen hadn't been there, Qin Lu would have left long ago. In fact, Gu Changlin also looked down on Qin Lu and couldn't stand his condescending behavior as a son of a noble in the capital. However, he admired Qin Lu's medical skills very much. The Qin family had been practicing medicine for generations, and most of the imperial physicians in all dynasties came from the Qin family. Qin Lu even became the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau at the age of 20, so it was natural that he had more than just condescending abilities.
Therefore, how could Qin Lu not notice the strange pulse that even he could find? Moreover, Qin Lu had been diagnosing Zhong Mingwei's pulse for many years. If Qin Lu had discovered it earlier and made timely remedies, Zhong Mingwei would not have ended up in such a tragic situation today...
But Qin Lu just didn't notice it, or he did notice it but didn't say it out, or he reported it and then got a reply asking him to keep quiet.
