Doctor Wen?
In the Imperial Medical Academy, there was only one physician with the surname Wen: Wen Shichu.
Sun Miaoqing knew that he was a skilled doctor who was obsessed with love and would do anything for his childhood sweetheart, Huanhuan.
But at this time, the epidemic had not yet broken out. Although Zhen Huan was involved, she had only recently gained favor with the emperor.
Wen Shichu was not good at flattery, so even though the Imperial Hospital had just undergone a blood transfusion, his chances were not high.
Sun Miaoqing asked, "Why the three of them?"
Lu Jingsi replied, "In the Imperial Medical Academy, the three of them are also top-notch doctors, and they come from families of imperial physicians. They have a long family tradition of medical knowledge and are also familiar with the rules of the palace."
"Furthermore, Physician Zhang is in charge of the Empress Dowager's health, while Physician Fang is taking care of Consort Hua and Consort Cao and her daughter."
"Although the young lady served by Physician Wen is not as good as these two, she is still deeply trusted by Consort Shen and Consort Wan."
"The status of imperial physicians depended not only on their seniority but also on whether they were trusted by their masters."
"The imperial physicians who treat high-ranking concubines or favored concubines are naturally of higher status than those who treat low-ranking concubines or concubines who are not favored."
"Among the short ones, only these three have the highest chance of being the tallest."
Sun Miaoqing said with a smile, "Then, Physician Lu, if one of the three must be the one, who do you think it would be?"
Lu Jingsi said, "Perhaps it's Physician Zhang, after all, he is highly regarded by the Empress Dowager."
Sun Miaoqing shook her head. "Then I'll make a bet with Physician Lu. Anyone could be the one, but it definitely won't be Physician Zhang."
Lu Jingsi was puzzled. Why couldn't it be Physician Zhang? Physician Zhang was the first choice, both in terms of qualifications and medical skills.
Even his position as a judge was only possible because of Sun Miaoqing's promise and his appearance before the emperor, which made him a familiar face.
If it really comes down to a fight, then Physician Zhang has the best chance of winning.
In Lu Jingsi's view, the position of vice-president should be no problem for Physician Zhang.
"Why is Your Highness so certain? Could it be that Physician Zhang has offended Your Highness in the past?"
Sun Miaoqing said, "He has not offended me; he was just unlucky."
"Don't worry about these things, the Emperor's affairs are more important."
Lu Jingsi lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty understands."
"If Your Majesty has no further instructions, I shall take my leave."
Sun Miaoqing nodded and said, "You should go back now. I'm sure the Imperial Hospital has a lot of things to do."
After Lu Jingsi left, Liuli and Linglan came in to serve her. Seeing Sun Miaoqing lying on the chaise longue deep in thought, they dared not disturb her and stood silently by her side waiting.
Sun Miaoqing thought about what Lu Jingsi had just said, since Physician Zhang was the Empress Dowager's man.
The fat orange cat is suspicious; how could it allow the Empress and two imperial physicians trusted by the Empress Dowager to hold important positions in the Imperial Hospital at the same time?
This Physician Zhang can be eliminated.
As for Wen Shichu, if Zhen Huan were the Niohuru Zhen Huan after returning to the palace, Wen Shichu would be more reliable than others.
But now, Sun Miaoqing thinks that Wen Shichu is worth a second look at.
Since Physician Fang was taking care of Consort Hua, he must have known about the Huan Yi Xiang (a type of incense).
On the surface, he was Consort Hua's man, but in reality, he worked for the emperor. It is unknown whether Consort Hua had completely taken him under her wing.
But his probability should be much higher than Wen Shichu's...
Sun Miaoqing felt that she had been too lax with Da Pangju these past few days and needed to put in some more effort.
Clutching her chest, like a wronged woman in the deep palace, she spoke in a high-pitched voice,
"His Majesty has been ill for the past few days, and I have been praying in the Baohua Hall, so I have not been able to visit him."
"It feels like three autumns have passed since I last saw you. I want to go now, but my leg is acting up again and is injured like this."
"His Majesty's illness has not yet fully healed, and he needs to take medicine every day. Although I wish to see His Majesty, I cannot ask him to go through all this trouble. What if he gets tired from traveling such a long distance?"
"This is truly a difficult situation, and my heart is in even greater distress!"
Liuli and Linglan knew she had suffered, and they felt uneasy and resentful, so they wanted to cause her more trouble.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of the emperor, and said such... such a green tea bitch?
That's what the Empress said before!
But considering the news she had just heard, the Empress would most likely be stuck in her palace, facing her own dilemma...
Liuli said with a worried look, "Your Majesty, news just came that Consort Wan has injured her leg from kneeling for the past few days and can't get out of bed."
"His Majesty is very worried and has already gone to Suiyu Pavilion to keep him company."
"Please don't be angry. His Majesty values the Empress most and will definitely come to comfort you."
As Liuli spoke, her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost imperceptible. If Sun Miaoqing hadn't had excellent hearing, she really wouldn't have been able to hear what she said next.
Ha, men!
Does she need him to comfort her?
It's neither edible nor usable, and it can't even be used to vent her anger, so what's the point of having it?
I was just being presumptuous and actually slapped her across the face, making a loud slapping sound.
Fortunately, it was just a private conversation, and no one else was around, otherwise her public image would have been completely ruined.
Linglan said, "The Emperor didn't even go to the Empress or Consort Hua's place, nor did he come to our Chuxiu Palace. He went directly to the residence of a minor noblewoman in Suiyu Pavilion."
"Now everyone in the palace says that this Consort Wan is extraordinary. She has won over the Emperor's heart and will surely be promoted to the rank of Consort or Imperial Concubine soon."
"Fortunately, you and Consort Wan have a good relationship. During the months she was ill, it was thanks to your help, Your Highness, that she was able to maintain her dignity."
"No matter how favored they are, they probably won't go against our Chuxiu Palace."
Liuli nodded in agreement. Having served in the palace for so many years, she had witnessed countless concubines rise and fall from favor.
