Chapter 16 Doctor Yu adds more words, the emperor is furious
Yun Qin looked at Doctor Zhang Yu who was writing a prescription with his pen and ink, and spoke tentatively, "Master Zhang is indeed an unparalleled medical expert. No wonder the emperor trusts you so much."
These words made Doctor Zhang Yu pause and look up at Yun Qin.
The girl was leaning against the head of the bed, hugging the quilt, her inky black hair scattered on her shoulders, making her fair face look even smaller. Her breath was faint, and she looked fragile and easily broken, like a night-blooming cereus, breathtakingly beautiful.
Even though Doctor Zhang Yu had worked as a doctor in the palace for half his life and had seen countless beauties, he was still stunned for a moment.
Thinking of the news sent by Xu An, he immediately looked away, not daring to look any further.
Doctor Zhang Yu paused for a moment before saying, "Miss Yunqin is flattering. We are just doing things for the emperor."
"We all work for the emperor", does this include her?
Although Yun Qin was still a little confused, she had already realized that this matter was closely related to the Emperor.
Was it he who asked Dr. Zhang Yu to diagnose his pulse?
Yun Qin was startled by this thought and subconsciously grabbed the quilt tightly.
"Master Zhang is saying..."
Doctor Zhang Yu looked at her again, with some deep meaning in his eyes, "Master Yu, please give instructions. Concubine Hui must have a young lady to serve her."
Seeing that Yun Qin really didn't understand, he could only tell her the truth. He dared not accept the emperor's favor.
When he received the news, Doctor Zhang Yu was truly shocked. He didn't understand why Xu An valued a palace maid from Chunxi Palace so much. If he valued her, it meant that the emperor also valued her.
It was not until he remembered what the palace maid named Yunqin looked like that he finally understood that the phrase "serving Concubine Hui" was just a cover-up.
If Yun Qin still couldn't understand Dr. Zhang Yu's hint, she would be a fool.
But compared to when she first knew the emperor's thoughts, she is now much calmer.
Anyway, the emperor didn't come to tell her directly, nor did he make it clear to Concubine Hui, so she just pretended that she didn't know about it and played dumb to the end.
Yun Qin smiled and said humbly: "It's just that the emperor promoted me, and the queen trusts me."
Her words made Dr. Zhang Yu a little uncertain. Could it be that he was thinking wrongly?
Doctor Zhang Yu calmed his mind, quickly wrote the prescription, handed it to Ah Jing who was waiting on the side, and then stood up.
"I'm sorry I can't get up to see you off." Yun Qin hurriedly said.
Doctor Zhang Yu said it was okay and said casually, "We still need to see another palace maid."
Yun Qin's eyes flashed, knowing that it must be Huipin who asked him to go and treat Rong Zhi's injuries.
Ah Jing, who was standing by, also heard it and immediately asked, "Master Zhang, are you talking about Rong Zhi...sister?"
"That's right." Doctor Zhang Yu nodded.
Ah Jing seemed to think of Rong Zhi's miserable condition, and said with some reluctance: "Sister Rong Zhi's injury is indeed quite serious, but fortunately the Queen still cares about her. Alas, the Queen would not be like this before..."
Hearing this, Yun Qin quickly pulled her by the arm. Seeing Doctor Zhang Yu looking over, she immediately smiled at him and said, "Ah Jing just wants you to help Rong Zhi with her medical treatment."
Doctor Zhang Yu glanced at the two of them and said, "Of course, of course." But he was a little surprised in his heart. Just now, Huipin clearly said that the palace maid named Rongzhi was burned by herself, but from what the little palace maid said, it was Huipin who did it?
When he came last night, he saw someone carrying a palace maid out of the inner hall.
This Huipin's behavior is too...
Doctor Zhang Yu didn't dare to think too much, picked up the medicine box, and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Goodbye, Master Zhang. Ah Jing, please go and see him off."
After the few people left, Yun Qin's smiling eyes turned cold. Just from looking at Doctor Zhang Yu's expression, she knew that he had taken A Jing's words to heart.
There were so many people in Chunxi Palace, and it was no secret that Rongzhi was splashed with hot water by Huipin. As long as he asked a little, he would know the whole cause and effect.
He is the emperor's spy, and I'm afraid he will report this matter to the emperor.
I don’t know whether it is good or bad.
Yun Qin's head was buzzing. She pulled the quilt over her head and was too lazy to think about it anymore.
Just stab her. Huipin is becoming more and more outrageous. It would be better if the emperor could keep a check on her, so that she doesn't go crazy all the time and take it out on them.
——
Not to mention how shocked Doctor Zhang Yu was when he saw Rong Zhi's injuries. When he was writing the pulse report, in addition to writing about Yun Qin's condition, he paused and added Rong Zhi's injuries. After all, this was related to Concubine Hui.
This pulse case was soon placed on Huo Jinchi's desk.
Huo Jinchi naturally knew that Chunxi Palace had summoned Doctor Yu this morning. As soon as he saw the pulse report coming over, he put down what he was doing and picked up the thin piece of paper first.
Seeing that Huipin's body and pregnancy were both fine, he relaxed his gaze.
Seeing that Yun Qin's pulse was also in the back, Huo Jinchi raised his eyes and glanced at Xu An.
Xu An felt his gaze and shrunk his shoulders slightly, lowering his head almost to his chest.
He has learned his lesson this time. As long as the emperor doesn't ask, he will never say a word.
Seeing him like this, Huo Jinchi snorted softly, then retracted his gaze and continued reading.
Seeing the words "depressed in the heart", he couldn't help but sneer. He originally thought that the person was extremely courageous, but he didn't expect that he would be frightened to the point of falling seriously ill.
Are you so afraid that he will ask Huipin for the person? Is he some kind of monster?
Hawking Chi had a gloomy face, but he still watched it to the end.
Seeing the last few strokes that were obviously added deliberately, his eyes turned cold and his face no longer showed any obvious joy or anger. Only the movement of him slapping the paper on the table slightly revealed the anger in his heart at the moment.
This movement startled Xu An, and he quickly looked at Huo Jinchi, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?"
Huo Jinchi curled his lips and said, "I heard that the maidservant beside Huipin was injured, so I sent someone to deliver some excellent burn medicine."
Without waiting for Xu An to react, he continued, "Ask someone else to draft an edict. Huipin's pregnancy is not easy. Let her stay in Chunxi Palace to take care of the baby. She doesn't need to pay respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress for three months, and she doesn't need to travel around!"
"Your Majesty..." Xu An looked up in surprise.
Everything was fine, Your Majesty, why is he suddenly angry?
This seems to be a sympathy for Huipin, but in fact it is a ban on her feet. The previous decree clearly meant to lift the palace maids around Huipin...
"Go ahead!" Hawking Chi said without any room for maneuver.
Xu An didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only say yes and left the hall in a panic.
After watching him leave, Huo Jinchi's eyes fell on the paper again with an indifferent expression.
He valued Huipin's pregnancy, but he didn't take it that seriously.
He has just been on the throne for three years and is not even thirty years old, so he will have many children in the future.
Compared with his own children, Hawking Chi cares more about what kind of mother his children have.
Huipin is only a little favored now, but she is so spoiled that she can even kill the palace maids who have served her since childhood. How can a mother with bad character raise a prince with noble virtues!
——
There were two groups of people who came to Chunxi Palace to deliver gifts and convey imperial edicts.
The first person to come was someone who brought burn ointment to Rongzhi.
When Huipin heard that it was Yu who came, she immediately sat up from the bed, unable to hide the surprise on her face, and immediately said to Rong Xin, "Go, go and greet them."
Before Rong Xin walked out, she saw a little palace maid running in and saying that she was there to bring burn ointment to Rong Zhi.
Huipin's face was blank at first, and then she was shocked and angry.
"Why, why did the emperor send her medicine for her injuries!"
Rong Xin reacted quickly and said, "Rong Zhi came into the palace with the Empress. She is the most capable maidservant by your side. When the Emperor lifts her up, isn't he lifting up the Empress?"
Huipin believed what he said. Just as her anger subsided, she heard the messenger who delivered the imperial edict arrived.
Her face lit up with joy again, and she immediately asked Rong Xin to help her out of bed before she could go out.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict came in, and Huipin could only bow hastily, but she heard the imperial decree that she should recuperate in Chunxi Palace and not move around.
She was happy at first, but suddenly her face turned pale. She stared blankly at the imperial edict that was delivered to her and almost collapsed to the ground.
