Chapter 376: Patient Consultation (Part 2)
She opened her mouth and said, "The doctor you called in turned out to be... Miss Ye Er?"
"It's her." The eldest princess's eyebrows relaxed when she mentioned Ye Chutang, and it was obvious that she liked her very much. "I know Chutang's medical skills best. Lan Xi's illness has been treated for so many years, and she has visited many famous doctors, but there has been no significant improvement. It would be better to let Chutang take a look, maybe there is a way."
Concubine Ru was not in a position to refute, so she quickly smiled and nodded: "You are right."
As she spoke, she ordered the maid, "Why don't you go and invite Miss Ye Er over?"
…
Ye Chutang was staying peacefully in his tent when he suddenly received news that the princess wanted to see him.
When Ye Chutang came back just now, he had already checked and found that the eldest princess was not in the tent next to him.
She is most likely with His Majesty right now.
Sure enough, after following the palace maid for a while, Ye Chutang saw the most luxurious tent of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ye Er has arrived."
The palace maid opened the curtain, and Ye Chutang saw Emperor Mu Wu sitting in the middle.
Beside him, smiling happily, was Concubine Ru.
The eldest princess is here too.
but……
Ye Chutang's gaze lingered on the young woman sitting to the lower right of Concubine Ru for a moment, then he quickly withdrew his gaze as usual and stepped forward to salute.
"Your humble servant Ye Chutang greets His Majesty, the Princess, and the Imperial Concubine."
"Chu Tang, there's no need to be so polite." The princess smiled and waved at her, "Come and sit next to me."
Ye Chutang knew very well that there was no place for her here. She looked up and saw that Emperor Mu Wu did not object, so she came to the side of the eldest princess.
But she didn't sit down.
She didn't ask why she was suddenly called over, she just lowered her head and looked respectful and polite.
Concubine Ru was the first to speak: "I invited you here this time mainly to ask you to check Lan Xi's pulse. She has been very weak since she was a child, and she has not seen any improvement after taking medicine for many years. The eldest princess strongly recommended that you come here, I wonder if you have any solution?"
As if to show her kindness and generosity, she deliberately added: "If you can really cure the root of Lan Xi's illness, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
It really sounds like he is worried about his own child.
Ye Chutang finally looked at the woman sitting opposite him.
This is a girl who looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She has an outstanding appearance and delicate features. Her almond-shaped eyes are a light brown color. However, if you look closely, there seems to be a hint of blue in the depths. She looks clean and mysterious.
The moment they looked at each other, she nodded slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, but her cheeks turned slightly red because of shyness, and her originally beautiful facial features immediately became more delicate and innocent.
Anyone who sees her will think that this is a naive, shy and introverted little princess.
It is rumored that Princess Yuhe's biological mother was born in Guanling, her ancestors had foreign blood, and she had a pair of extremely moving blue eyes.
It was also for this reason that Emperor Mu Wu summoned his concubine after drinking.
However, this is also the biggest reason why she is disliked - blue eyes are a unique feature of the Hu people.
In the border areas, there were constant conflicts between the Hu people and the Han people. Some Han women were abducted and forcibly possessed by the Hu people, while others were taken back by the Hu people after being defeated in battle as slaves.
In short, these blue eyes symbolize lowliness.
Emperor Mu Wu prided himself on being wise and powerful, so of course he would not be willing to accept such a stain on himself.
But Princess Yuhe's eyes still had a hint of blue. No matter how well-behaved and obedient she was, she could not win the favor of Emperor Mu Wu.
Xiao Lanxi smiled shyly with curiosity: "I have heard that Miss Ye's medical skills are outstanding, and even the imperial doctors in the palace praise her highly. Today I finally got to see her in person."
Ye Chutang's eyes moved slightly, but she remained expressionless. She smiled faintly and said, "I don't deserve it. I just know a little bit."
As he was speaking, a palace maid had already brought a pulse pillow.
Ye Chutang stepped forward and sat down opposite Xiao Lanxi: "Third Princess, please——"
Xiao Lanxi put her wrist on it obediently.
Perhaps she inherited it from her mother who had Hu ancestry, her skin is extremely white, and you can even see the light blue blood vessels beneath her thin skin.
In addition, she is very thin and her acting skills are so weak that she looks like she will break if bent.
Ye Chutang put his fingers together and lowered his eyelashes slightly.
While she was taking her pulse, Xiao Lanxi was actually also sizing her up.
She had heard of this name before returning to Beijing. After returning, this name was mentioned repeatedly in the imperial palace, Prince Qi's mansion, and on the streets, as if everyone in the entire capital knew her.
So much so that before she even met Master Ye Chutang, she had already heard too many rumors about this woman.
Not to mention, the carriage of the Dingbei Marquis’ Mansion had stopped specifically for him.
Xiao Lanxi was really curious about what kind of person could cause such a big commotion in such a big capital city?
Now, she finally knew.
She had never seen anyone like this before.
She is gentle and beautiful, neither humble nor arrogant. Although she is not wearing fancy clothes, it cannot hide her noble temperament.
But her smile was shallow and her voice was clear and calm, which revealed her inherent laziness and just counteracted her unattainable coldness.
Her complex temperament blended together to form an indescribable aura, making it easy to distinguish her from others.
Such people are the focus of attention wherever they are.
Especially at this moment, she was sitting sideways in front, with her eyes slightly lowered, looking calm and composed, just like a crabapple flower waking up in spring.
Xiao Lanxi pursed her lips, and some emotion flashed across her eyes.
"Has the third princess ever been poisoned before?" Ye Chutang suddenly asked.
Xiao Lanxi was startled and looked up suddenly: "Ye, how did Second Miss Ye know?"
Emperor Mu Wu frowned, and Concubine Ru's expression also changed. She immediately raised her voice:
"What? Lan Xi, why have you never told me this before!?"
Xiao Lanxi was also a little panicked, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine, right?"
She recalled and said softly, "It actually happened four or five years ago. One time I went out for an outing and was accidentally bitten by a snake in the bushes. I passed out at the time."
Guanling is a very remote place, so it is not surprising that this situation occurred.
But Xiao Lanxi is a princess.
Concubine Ru looked apologetic, "It's so dangerous! What if something really happened to you? Four or five years ago, wasn't that when you first went to Guanling? There wasn't even a good doctor there. If you weren't lucky, I'm afraid you would have—"
When she said this, tears welled up in her eyes.
Emperor Mu Wu frowned even more tightly.
Xiao Lanxi smiled and said, "With the protection of my father and mother, I am naturally not afraid."
Emperor Mu Wu's expression eased a lot.
Xiao Lanxi seemed not to notice his subtle change in expression and looked at Ye Chutang again:
"Miss Ye Er means that my physical condition is...actually a disease left over from that time?"
