A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1906 Heart disease, losing the wife and the army
The Ninth Prince and Madam Min were indeed mother and son. As soon as the news of Lan Jingyang's illness came out, the Ninth Prince guessed what Lian Cheng would do. Similarly, when Madam Min learned that the Ninth Prince was going to personally lead an expedition to Beiling, she also understood the Ninth Prince's plan.
The war in Beiling was not so intense that the Ninth Prince needed to lead the army in person. The Ninth Prince chose to leave at this time. In addition to not wanting to participate in the enthronement ceremony, he probably wanted to avoid Liancheng's affairs.
Madam Min knew what the Ninth Prince was planning, but she could do nothing about it. She had no status at all in Dongling, not to mention that the canonization ceremony had not yet been held. Even if she was the legitimate Grand Empress Dowager of Dongling, she could not stop the Ninth Prince from leading the army in person.
Mrs. Min felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. She covered her chest with her hands. Her face was pale, her lips were bleeding from biting, and cold sweat was oozing from her forehead.
"Madam, are you okay?" The servant panicked and hurried over to support Madam Min. Madam Min covered her chest with her hands and said weakly, "It hurts, it hurts so much..."
"Quick, quickly call the imperial physician, Madam Min's old illness has relapsed." The day before the Ninth Prince left for the battle, Madam Min fell ill. The imperial physicians and royal doctors in the palace came in one after another and gave her bowl after bowl of medicine, but Madam Min still cried out in pain and showed no improvement at all.
The imperial physicians all looked pale. Madam Min had an old illness and had injured herself in her early years. They had prescribed medicine according to her symptoms. Logically, even if they could not cure her, they would at least be able to alleviate her symptoms. But no matter what medicine they prescribed, it had no effect after Madam Min drank it. They even took the risk of giving Madam Min acupuncture, but she still cried out in pain.
"Your Highness, I am incompetent and cannot find out what is wrong with Madam Min." Several imperial doctors stepped forward with their heads held high.
They didn't dare to say that Madam Min was not sick, because it was indeed Madam Min's old illness that had relapsed; but if they said that she was sick, they didn't know where to start, which was really worrying.
"Go away." The Ninth Prince did not make things difficult for the imperial physician. He immediately ordered someone to invite Feng Qingchen over.
"I guess the doctor she is looking for is you." When the Ninth Prince saw Feng Qingchen running hurriedly with a medicine box, he quickly signaled her not to worry.
With so many imperial doctors around, Madam Min couldn't die even if she wanted to.
"I'm glad it's not a big problem." Feng Qingchen knew at a glance that Madam Min's condition was not as serious as the housekeeper said.
Taking a look at the rows of doctors in the room, Feng Qingchen couldn't help but complain: Rich and powerful people are just bored. They can make a big fuss over a minor illness or pain. They don't care whether they are useful or not, and they will hire a bunch of doctors. They don't care if there are people waiting for the doctor to treat them.
Feng Qingchen drank a glass of water, and after he recovered, he carried the box and went into Madam Min's room with the housekeeper.
The other imperial doctors were all men and had to stand behind the bed curtain, but Feng Qingchen was a woman and didn't care about that and walked straight to the edge of the bed.
Mrs. Min's hair was disheveled, and the strands at her temples were wet with sweat. Her face was pale without a trace of blood, and the veins on her neck were exposed, as if she was in great pain.
When she saw Feng Qingchen, Madam Min raised her eyelids slightly, then quickly closed them again, looking weak.
"Madam, please stretch out your left hand." Even though Feng Qingchen suspected that Madam Min was faking illness, he checked her very carefully and turned on the smart medical bag before coming in.
Mrs. Min was very cooperative this time. She placed her fair white wrist quietly beside the bed, making it easier for Feng Qingchen to take her pulse.
Feng Qingchen's brows knitted unconsciously as he placed his fingers gently on her pulse. Madam Min's pulse was very weak, and she felt blocked from time to time, which did seem like a relapse of her old illness.
But if it really is a relapse of the old illness, the group of doctors outside will not be helpless.
Let’s take a look at the diagnosis and treatment results of the smart medical package first.
"Madam, please have a good rest." After Feng Qingchen finished the treatment, he walked out without saying a single extra word, without showing any emotion on his face.
When Feng Qingchen turned around, Madam Min suddenly opened her eyes. A hint of coldness flashed across her gentle eyes, and then she closed them gently, as if nothing had happened.
Feng Qingchen was unaware and walked straight out. When there was no one around, Feng Qingchen took a look at the results of the smart medical package's diagnosis and treatment. When she saw it, Feng Qingchen smiled.
Sure enough, her guess was correct. Madam Min was pretending to be sick, and her pulse must have been deliberately disturbed to confuse the imperial physician's sight.
Are you trying to use illness to keep the Ninth Prince in the capital?
Mr. Min's trick was really brilliant, but unfortunately, Mrs. Min had overacted.
Now that she has been found, she will definitely help Mrs. Min.
Feng Qingchen walked out worriedly with a sad look on his face, which scared the servants outside. They exchanged nervous glances with each other: Could Madam Min really be seriously ill?
The Ninth Prince also raised his eyebrows in surprise, but did not ask any questions actively. Only the butler came forward to ask.
"Miss Feng, how is my old lady's health?" Since she had not been canonized yet, the housekeeper naturally did not dare to call Madam Min the Grand Empress Dowager.
The imperial physician waiting on the side also wanted to know what Feng Qingchen's diagnosis was, or what Feng Qingchen would say.
They all had more or less guessed about Mrs. Min's illness, but they just didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Madam's condition is not ideal and her life may be in danger at any time." As soon as Feng Qingchen opened his mouth, everyone was shocked, and the imperial physician next to him looked even more puzzled.
This was too exaggerated. Could it be that they really hadn't found out? The imperial physician was also worried, and even the Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen's expression remained unchanged as she threw out a bunch of unfamiliar professional terms. Not to mention the housekeeper, even the imperial physician was confused by her and it took them a long time to sort things out. Every word Feng Qingchen said was very dangerous, but when put together, they actually amounted to one disease, which was overthinking.
In other words, Mrs. Min has a mental illness.
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief.
The housekeeper didn't understand at all, he just knew it sounded very serious, and said dutifully: "Miss Feng, please save my old lady."
"I am helpless as to what the madam is suffering from. Doctors can only cure illnesses, not save her life. The madam is determined to die, so I am sorry that I can't do anything for her." Feng Qingchen looked embarrassed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
In fact, Feng Qingchen did not lie. Although Madam Min pretended to be sick, she was indeed overly worried and thought too much. She really needed to find a quiet place to rest for a while.
"What, what should we do..." The housekeeper was stunned, while the imperial doctors looked at Feng Qingchen with admiration. Feng Qingchen's words really showed that he had the potential to be an imperial doctor.
As imperial physicians, they would describe a disease as extremely serious and treat it as if it were only slightly serious. Otherwise, how could they show their talent?
Feng Qingchen had indeed learned this trick from the imperial physician. He slowly glanced at everyone, whetting their appetite before he calmly said, "Madam is suffering from a heart disease, and a heart disease needs to be treated with a heart medicine. Even if we give her meat Ganoderma lucidum and ten thousand year old ginseng, it can't save Madam's life."
"Heartache?" The housekeeper cooperated and showed a confused look: "What else could our old lady worry about? Her greatest wish has been fulfilled."
The butler silently glanced at the Ninth Uncle, hinting to everyone that Madam Min's wish, which she had always talked about, was to see her own biological son, and now her wish had been fulfilled.
"This..." Feng Qingchen showed a puzzled look and muttered: "I heard that Madam and the late emperor were deeply in love. Is it because she missed the late emperor too much?"
Feng Qingchen's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the people nearby to hear. Immediately, an imperial physician jumped out and echoed Feng Qingchen's words: "That makes sense, Miss Feng. I also think that Madam is suffering from a mental illness. Now that Miss Feng has said this, I am suddenly enlightened."
The other imperial doctors also praised her, and they all believed that Madam Min was suffering from a mental illness. After seeing the Ninth Prince, she no longer had any other concerns in her heart and was only thinking about the retired emperor.
There was even a white-haired old man who directly suggested in an authoritative tone: "Your Highness, for the sake of the old lady's health, please send her to the temple as soon as possible. In the temple, pray for the Tai Nian Emperor every day. The old lady will have someone to trust her with, and this way she will not have the intention to die."
