It was a cloudy day when Mo Ninghai started working at the Imperial Hospital.
The sky was gloomy and about to rain, but there were only a few dark clouds hovering in the sky, densely intersecting, just like the gloomy face of Helan Ruizhe when he was angry.
Led by the eunuch Bai Gonggong, Mo Ninghai stepped into the gate of the Imperial Hospital.
The people in the Imperial Medical Bureau compound saw the popular eunuch Bai beside the Queen Mother, followed by a middle-aged man dressed in dust, and they all came over.
Doctor Meng was the most attentive. "Eunuch Bai, what brings you here?"
Eunuch Bai had always disliked Imperial Physician Meng, who was both unskilled and fond of flattery. Without even looking at him, he introduced the person behind him in a shrill voice, "Isn't this someone from your Imperial Hospital? Come and meet him, the great genius doctor Mo Ninghai!"
Everyone in the Imperial Hospital looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the divine doctor Mo who had cured the Queen Mother? He was so plain looking!
"I don't know if he's really a skilled doctor."
"Who knows? Didn't Imperial Doctor Mo say his prescription is the same as the one given by our Imperial Hospital?"
“…”
There were whispers below, and no one reacted to welcome Mo Ninghai. After all, this was the villain who made their Imperial Hospital lose the trust of the Crown Prince!
Everyone stopped talking until Eunuch Bai coughed.
A man in the uniform of an imperial physician came out from the side door. "What are you all standing there for? The Imperial Hospital is so unruly!" It was Mo Ningyang. His words were meant to reprimand them, but his expression was so unhappy that it couldn't be described.
He is the one who is most unwelcome to Mo Ninghai.
"Hey, why did Imperial Doctor Mo come out to greet us personally?" Eunuch Bai pinched his throat, half sincere and half sarcastic, "Divine Doctor Mo's surname is also Mo, so this is someone from your Mo family, right?"
Hearing this, Mo Ningyang's face darkened even further. "Who said the surname Mo means my Mo family?" He didn't give Eunuch Bai any face. "We've sent everyone here. Eunuch Bai, please go back. Our Imperial Hospital is small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like you!"
It was obvious that he was sending the guests away. Everyone gasped. Did Doctor Mo have a temper today?
Eunuch Bai snorted and said to Mo Ninghai behind him, "You live in that room." Eunuch Bai pointed to the house behind Mo Ningyang. That was the upper room that only senior doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau could live in.
The other imperial doctors were more than surprised. He was living in such a good place right after he arrived. The Queen Mother really valued Mo Ninghai too much.
"Why can he live in the room?" Doctor Meng was anxious and said what he was thinking. He worked hard for the nobles in the palace for half his life but never got such treatment.
Although they didn't dare to express any opinions, jealousy was aroused by Doctor Meng, and more and more people were saying things like "That's right, why?" "Didn't he just write a prescription that is the same as the one issued by our Imperial Hospital?" "Who knows where he copied it from!"
Eunuch Bai looked at everyone's expressions, some angry, some surprised, and some jealous, and sneered, "Shut up! The Crown Prince ordered that Divine Doctor Mo be given inferior housing, fearing that some people would be dissatisfied. He specifically asked me to designate a residence for Divine Doctor Mo. His medical skills give him the highest authority and treatment in the Imperial Hospital. Why? Use your brains to think about it! The Queen Mother's illness took dozens of people in your Imperial Hospital over ten days to cure, and Divine Doctor Mo cured her with just one prescription. He also performed acupuncture and detoxification on her. Who among you here today can match Divine Doctor Mo's skills?"
After these questions were raised, all the imperial doctors were speechless.
Especially Mo Ningyang, whose face was as gloomy as the weather today. Eunuch Bai kept calling him "Divine Doctor Mo", making him want to tear Mo Ninghai apart right now.
The central figure of the story, Mo Ninghai, remained silent from beginning to end, as quiet as if he was watching someone else's story.
After a while, Eunuch Bai continued, "It's getting late. Divine Doctor Mo, please move in first. From now on, you will be the Queen Mother's personal physician." He glanced at the other doctors again and said, "Doctor Mo will not be allowed to do those things that anyone can do."
Mo Ninghai nodded, looking humble.
"It's already late, and I'm busy. But wait," Eunuch Bai said with a cold look, looking at the doctors including Mo Ningyang, "Do you understand what I said?"
"It's clear, it's clear." Doctor Meng only picks on the weak and becomes extremely timid when encountering the strong.
All the imperial doctors echoed the sentiment, but Mo Ningyang said nothing.
Eunuch Bai caught on to this and feigned surprise, "Didn't Doctor Mo go out without his ears?"
Mo Ningyang suppressed his anger and said, "Clear, clearly."
Eunuch Bai then yawned in satisfaction, his eyes full of laziness, "Then I'll go back first."
"Eunuch Bai, take care!"
After Eunuch Bai left, Mo Ningyang immediately turned around and went in. The sound of the door closing echoed throughout the Imperial Hospital.
He was unhappy, and everyone knew it.
Anyone would be happy. He was the first imperial assistant, the chief imperial physician, and the best imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital. He had also accompanied General Jinzhuang to the northwest as a military doctor and had made several great contributions.
Now a quack doctor who cured the mother of the nation’s illness climbs over his head. Can he happily say, “It’s comfortable, please lie down for a while”?
It’s good enough that we don’t teach him a lesson.
But the imperial doctors thought so, and they still had to curry favor with Dr. Mo.
After all, he is now the imperial physician of the Queen Mother.
Although both of them have the surname Mo, one is an imperial physician and the other is a miracle doctor.
But those who understand know who is the most powerful character.
Doctor Meng, in particular, had his eyes glued to Mo Ninghai. "Doctor Mo, I'll take you to the upper room."
Without waiting for Mo Ninghai to refuse, Doctor Meng carried all his luggage by himself, and the medicine servant boy also helped from behind.
Mo Ninghai said thank you politely and followed them to the upper room.
The other imperial doctors watching from behind were all envious. Their hand speed hadn't been this fast for a long time. Was it because they were too young?
——
The days passed one by one.
Helan Ruizhe traveled back and forth between the Imperial Palace and the Eastern Palace every day. Although the Queen Mother's illness had healed, she was now weaker than before. There was still no news of his younger sister, Helan Minzhi.
As for Jin Suting, she always ignored the old general no matter how he tried to coax her.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day when Jin Xiwen was getting married.
The two main streets connecting the General's Mansion and the Imperial Mansion in Funing City, West Street and East Street, were decorated with red lanterns and large red flowers made of red satin.
It doesn’t feel like a wedding, but more like the Spring Festival, with laughter, crowds of people, and a strong festive atmosphere.
Maybe it was because the Spring Festival was approaching, Jin Suting shrank her neck because of the cold.
As Jin Xiwen's family, she didn't want to stay in the boudoir with that little white flower. In Ming's mother's words, she wanted to chat with the second young lady and gossip.
