Chapter 513: Lord Yan submits a memorial to impeach
When Yan Li'an raised his eyes again, his eyes were red.
"I wonder how much longer my mother will live?"
"Based on Madam Yan's current condition, half a year at most," said Imperial Doctor Sun.
"I see." Yan Li'an bowed to Doctor Sun, "Thank you Doctor Sun for making this trip."
Doctor Sun waved his hand.
"As I should. If there is nothing else for you, Lord Yan, I will take my leave first."
Yan Li'an made a gesture of invitation.
"Take care, Doctor Sun." Then he ordered, "Housekeeper, please see Doctor Sun off for me."
While Nanny Xu was serving Old Madam Yan in the main house, she was also paying attention to what was happening in the side rooms.
Seeing Doctor Sun leave, he hurriedly pulled aside the curtain and left the room.
"My lord, what does the imperial physician say?"
Yan Li'an just shook his head and said nothing, but he didn't rush into the house either, for fear that his mother would notice his emotions.
Seeing this, Aunt Xu couldn't help but rub her eyes.
Then he stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, if Madam Xu hadn't come to her rescue in time, she would have been in great danger. Before we left, she told me that if the doctor we found didn't cure her, you and the old lady could send someone to Xu's mansion to look for her if you trust her."
"I feel that no matter what happens, it can't be worse than the current situation. Why not try it out? If it works, maybe we can save the old lady's life from the hands of the King of Hell. What do you think?"
Yan Li'an thought about it and nodded.
"Tomorrow morning, go to the storehouse and pick out a generous gift. Go to the Xu residence in person and thank Madam Xu for saving my life on my behalf. Invite her to come home and see my mother."
When Aunt Xu saw that he agreed, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"yes."
The next morning, she picked out a set of moon-white Ru kiln tea sets and a set of treasured study treasures from the warehouse, then got on a carriage and went to Xu's house.
…
"Thank you, Madam Xu, for saving my old lady."
Nanny Xu pretended to kneel down, and seeing this, Song Yuntang hurriedly asked Jinshu to go forward and support her.
"No need to be so polite, Mammy."
Nanny Xu glanced in the direction of the two maids behind her and saw them presenting the gifts of thanks.
"I am here to give Madam Xu a thank-you gift on behalf of my master. Yesterday, the master asked the imperial physician to see her, and the physician said that the situation was not optimistic. I recalled what Madam said yesterday, and the master asked me to come and ask Madam if I could go and see our old lady."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Of course, no problem."
As she spoke, she told Xia Ning to fetch the medicinal juice that she had spent an hour and a half boiling last night.
He turned to look at Nanny Xu.
"Madam, wait a moment. I will go to the Yan residence with you after Xia Ning gets the medicine."
Aunt Xu nodded quickly.
"Why."
Before meeting the old lady, Madam Xu had already prepared the medicine. Could it be that she really has some solution?
Xia Ning brought a jar of medicine in a short while. Song Yuntang had already asked someone to prepare the carriage.
Just as he was about to go out, Xu Qingye suddenly came over from the backyard.
"Tang'er, I'll go with you."
Song Yuntang looked at him with a little surprise.
"You go ..." Before he finished speaking, he nodded again, "Okay."
…
When they arrived at the Yan Mansion, Song Yuntang followed Nanny Xu to Old Madam Yan's courtyard, while Xu Qingye was taken to the study by Lord Yan.
"Madam, Madam Xu is here."
Old Madam Yan on the bed opened her eyes and nodded slightly towards Song Yuntang.
"Mrs. Xu, thank you for your help."
Song Yuntang's expression was gentle, "Madam Yan, you don't have to be polite. I will treat you first."
Seeing her nod, he stepped forward and put his hand on her wrist.
After confirming that Madam Yan's lung abscess had not yet damaged her other internal organs, Song Yuntang turned around and took the bottle of medicine from Xia Ning.
"I specially asked my servant to find this medicine after I returned home yesterday. It took me an hour and a half to steam it for the old lady."
"Cut half a pound of the rhizome of the iron-footed general grass into thin slices, add an appropriate amount of rice wine, put it into a clay pot, seal the mouth of the pot with reed leaves, and steam it over low heat for one and a half hours to make a soup."
Although there is a record of General Iron-footed Grass in Compendium of Materia Medica, it was not used as a medicine to treat lung abscess in ancient times. According to the literature in the past, it was a secret recipe passed down by a quack doctor in modern times.
Song Yuntang picked up another porcelain spoon and looked in the direction of Aunt Xu.
"Take this spoonful as the standard. Take two full spoonfuls each time, orally three times a day. After taking it, you will cough up a lot of smelly pus and phlegm. This is a normal pus discharge phenomenon. In about seven days, the old lady's current high fever will subside."
Aunt Xu took it from her.
"May I ask Madam Xu, how long should I take this medicine?"
Song Yuntang glanced in the direction of Old Madam Yan. "In Old Madam Yan's case, you should take the medicine continuously for one month. This jar contains about seven or eight days' supply. I will write down the prescription later. If the medicine is used up by then, Madam, just continue to boil the medicine according to the method I wrote. When Old Madam Yan's condition improves, I will change the recovery prescription for her."
Upon hearing that Madam Yan's illness could be completely cured, Aunt Xu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Thank you, Madam Xu."
…
After Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang left Yan's house, an impeachment letter was sent from Yan's house to the palace.
That afternoon, the emperor summoned five or six officials, including the Minister of Revenue Meng Xunzhou, the Vice Minister of Personnel Yu Zhiqiu, and the Vice Minister of Revenue Liu Bannong, to the palace and reprimanded them.
After the adults returned home, they immediately...
The eldest daughter of the Meng family was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for unknown reasons.
The young master of the Yu family molested women many times, and was sent to the Dali Temple for reform by Lord Yu out of justice.
The mistress of the Liu family abused her concubines and poisoned the fetuses in her aunt's womb several times. She was sent back to her parents' home with a letter of divorce.
Some were even dismissed from their posts and investigated.
In the end, no official who entered the palace was spared.
This incident caused a huge stir at the end of the year, and almost everyone in the capital knew about it.
When Song Yuntang heard the rumor, he looked at Xu Qingye who was playing with a rattle beside the cradle.
"You did it?"
The man shook his head.
"Didn't you say that Lord Yan submitted a memorial?"
Song Yuntang had a smile on his face.
"It's not such a coincidence, is it?"
The family members of the officials who were called into the palace were all those who had targeted her in the Prime Minister's Residence. It happened that Xu Qingye accompanied her to the Yan Residence the day before yesterday and spent some time alone with Lord Yan.
If it weren't for him, Lord Yan would be so busy with his daily affairs that he would not care about these trivial matters.
The man remained calm, and when he saw his son stretching out his little hand to grab the rattle from his hand, he handed the rattle to him.
"The things Lord Yan impeached are all based on real evidence, not just hearsay. I just sent the collected evidence to him."
Song Yuntang was puzzled.
"How did you convince Lord Yan to help you file an impeachment petition?"
Xu Qingye glanced in her direction.
"I said, you can cure Madam Yan's illness."
As soon as she came back, she asked people to prepare medicinal materials for making medicine. Xu Qingye knew this.
If she wasn't sure, she wouldn't do it.
The family knew about her medical skills, but Lord Yan did not.
Seeing the doubt on Song Yuntang's face, the man continued speaking.
"He has heard something about the Princess of Le'an."
