Chapter 525 It doesn’t matter if it can’t be cured
When they arrived outside the imperial study, Fan Chihai asked Song Yuntang to wait for a moment and went in to report first.
After a moment, Fan Chihai came out of the imperial study and made a gesture to invite people into the palace.
"Princess Le'an, His Majesty invites you."
Song Yuntang nodded, motioned Jinshu and Xia Ning to wait outside, picked up the medicine box and followed Fan Chihai into the imperial study.
The imperial study was very quiet. Walking around the screen at the door, one could immediately see the emperor sitting behind his desk reviewing memorials. He had a focused expression and a deep gaze.
Although he was just sitting there quietly, he exuded dignity and majesty that could not be violated.
There is a low table on one side of the imperial study.
Sitting behind the low table was a child about nine years old. He had a pale face and a thin body, with a closed book in front of him. When his eyes met hers, they flickered slightly, but soon returned to normal.
Behind the child stood two imperial physicians, one of whom was the imperial physician Sun whom he had met before in Yan's residence.
I don’t know if the emperor specifically called her to supervise her.
Song Yuntang withdrew his gaze and knelt down to salute Li Junyao first.
"Le An greets His Majesty."
In fact, she was reluctant to enter the palace because there were many rules in the palace and she had to kneel at every turn.
In her previous life, she had never kneeled to anyone except her parents.
In recent days, I have knelt many times.
Li Junyao's eyes were still on the memorial in front of him, and he didn't look in her direction.
"Stand up."
Song Yuntang stood up for a while before Li Junyao closed the letter in his hand and looked up at her.
Although it wasn't the first time I saw her, there was still some emotion in my eyes when I saw her.
But soon, he suppressed this emotion.
This woman does look similar to Qinxue, and I don’t know if it is a coincidence or if there is some ulterior motive.
As an emperor, he cannot trust others easily, so he is wary of Song Yuntang.
The man spoke at a leisurely pace.
"The county lady is close to the Tang family. Would you like to know the connection between me and the Tang family?"
Song Yuntang nodded and said truthfully, "Your Majesty, Master's wife did not mention the matter of the late queen to Le An, but we in the capital did hear about the late queen."
Li Junyao looked into her eyes as if he could see through people's hearts. His strong aura made Song Yuntang dare not even look up and look at him.
After a while, he said, "I came to you today mainly because of the eldest prince's stubborn illness. If you can cure him, I will reward you handsomely. But if you dare to play tricks, I can also take your life!"
The warning is self-evident.
Song Yuntang was a little surprised.
People always say that emperors are ruthless.
But the emperor in front of her could threaten a weak woman like her for the sake of his child, so he must love this child very much.
The late queen must have held a special place in his heart.
The late queen was the daughter of Mr. Tang and Madam Tang, and the eldest prince was born to the late queen, making him the grandson of Mr. Tang and Madam Tang.
Regardless of whether the child's father is the emperor or not, she would not stand idly by for the sake of Mr. Tang and his wife's face.
Song Yuntang bowed respectfully towards Li Junyao.
"Leanding will do his best."
Li Junyao nodded slightly, looked at her seriously, then turned to look at the child sitting behind the low table, his eyes visibly softened.
"An'er, let's stop here today. Let the Princess of Le'an take a look at you first."
Ever since the emperor's son was framed by a concubine in the harem and almost died when he was three years old, he placed the child in the Yangxin Palace to raise him personally.
This child is a smart and kind person. He could compose poems at the age of five and had good handwriting at the age of seven. Now he is nine years old, he has his own opinions on political affairs.
If his health could be restored, he would like to train him to be the future crown prince.
The nine-year-old raised his hand in salute.
"Yes, Father."
As he spoke, he looked towards Song Yuntang and raised his hand to bow humbly, without any of the airs of a prince or the childishness that was typical of his age.
"Thank you for your help, County Master."
Song Yuntang hurriedly returned the gift.
"Your Highness is polite."
She carried the medicine box to the low table, placed it beside her, her brows softening.
"Let me check the eldest prince's pulse first."
Li Xian nodded and rolled up his sleeves.
The child's arms were extremely thin, his veins were bluish, and his pulse was extremely weak.
Song Yuntang asked him some questions, and then carefully felt his pulse before withdrawing his hand, looking a little serious.
Li Xian looked at her expression, smiled gently, put down his sleeves, and continued to comfort her.
"It doesn't matter if it can't be cured. Father won't blame the county lady, and the county lady doesn't need to feel pressured."
Over the years, my father ordered all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to study his condition, and also recruited many highly skilled doctors from the public to come to the palace to treat him, but to no avail.
Every time they finished treating him, their expressions were as serious as that of Lady Le'an County at this moment.
He was no longer surprised and had long since accepted the fact that he was frail and sickly.
However, the woman in front of him looked very similar to the portrait of his mother in his father's bedroom in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. Every time he looked at her, he always thought that if his mother were still alive, she would definitely treat him as gently as she did now.
I couldn't bear to see her worrying about her illness.
The two imperial physicians next to them, especially Imperial Physician Sun, had expectations on their faces. After all, Song Yuntang could even cure Madam Yan's terminal illness, so perhaps he could also cure the eldest prince's illness.
Seeing her expression at this moment, expectation was gradually replaced by disappointment.
Compared to most doctors, the county princess's medical skills are indeed amazing, but she is just a girl in her teens and cannot cure all diseases.
It seems that we have to find another way to cure the eldest prince's illness.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial study were all watching the doctor. People outside had heard that the medical skills of Princess Le'an were miraculous, but after seeing it with their own eyes today, they found that she was just an ordinary doctor.
Li Junyao looked at the reactions of Song Yuntang and everyone in the imperial study, and his brows couldn't help but furrowed.
After a moment, he asked slowly, "Le'an County Lady, can't you diagnose the cause of the emperor's illness?"
Song Yuntang stood up and bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's not that we haven't diagnosed the cause of the disease, but I'm thinking about how to formulate a treatment plan for the eldest prince."
After hearing this, Li Junyao's brows relaxed.
"So, Princess Le'an has already diagnosed the cause of the emperor's illness?"
Song Yuntang nodded, still looking thoughtful.
The two imperial doctors looked at each other and immediately became interested.
Imperial Doctor Sun hurriedly bowed to Song Yuntang.
"May I ask, County Lady, what disease does the eldest prince have?"
Not only the two imperial physicians, but Li Xian also sat up straight, looking at her steadily with seemingly calm eyes.
In the imperial study, the eunuchs and palace maids who originally thought that Song Yuntang's medical skills were mediocre also pricked up their ears, as if they wanted to know whether the county lady had really diagnosed the eldest prince's illness or was just being mysterious.
After all, the eldest prince's illness has been studied by the entire Imperial Hospital for many years, but there is still no reasonable explanation, and it can only be alleviated by medication.
The Lady of Le'an County only needed to feel the patient's pulse and ask a few questions before she diagnosed the cause of the illness.
The judgment was indeed a bit sloppy.
