Chapter 441 Breaking Down Barriers
The candles in the Queen's bedroom have been extinguished.
The emperor and empress lay side by side on the couch.
No one spoke, but after an unknown amount of time, someone sighed.
The next day, the Imperial Hospital presented an antidote, which temporarily saved the lives of the princes and princesses.
As soon as Liu Yiyi entered the Imperial Hospital, she saw all the imperial physicians standing in the courtyard.
She looked at everyone with some hesitation, feeling a sense of unease, much like when she first entered the Imperial Medical Academy and faced off against them in a contest.
Sun Mingru took the lead and stood at the front, saying, "Please wait, Dean Liu."
Liu Yiyi stopped and looked at everyone. "What brings you here, Chief Physician Sun?"
After adjusting his official hat with the other imperial physicians, Sun Mingru held his hands in front of his chest, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Chief Physician Liu."
The antidote was developed by Liu Yiyi herself; they had no credit for it.
The Chu Kingdom's Qianli Powder came with great force. They could temporarily protect the hearts of the princes and princesses that night, but they all knew that if it weren't for Liu Yiyi's antidote pill that saved the princes and princesses' lives for three months, the Imperial Hospital would be held responsible after last night.
The credit belonged to Liu Yiyi herself, but she brought the entire Imperial Hospital with her.
Many people are ashamed of their narrow-mindedness back then.
Liu Yiyi remained unfazed after hearing this.
"As the head of the academy, although I am the deputy, I am still your superior, and it is my duty to protect you."
But having gone through this experience, you should understand that your family's heritage has provided you with a unique and fertile ground for growth, but without family education, you would be unable to cope.
Your medical skills are actually very advanced, but your knowledge is limited. If you have the opportunity, you can go out and travel around. If you don't have the opportunity, then listen, observe and learn more.
Although I have offered the antidote, I still hope that everyone will use their true abilities.
It's one thing for our mission to hold us accountable, but if we can develop an antidote before they do, that would truly demonstrate the skill of our Imperial Medical Academy!
If it had been before, Liu Yiyi would have been criticized by the people of the Imperial Hospital for being pretentious and empty talk.
But after so much time and so many things have happened.
Liu Yiyi is not only highly skilled in medicine and possesses genuine talent, but she also never keeps anything to herself.
She would patiently answer any questions her colleagues from the Imperial Medical Academy had about her medical records.
So even though Liu Yiyi was a woman, her changing mindset gradually altered their thinking.
"I will heed your teachings, Master Liu."
Liu Yiyi nodded and then said, "We now have many imperial physicians from the common people in our Imperial Medical Academy. Before they took the exams to enter the palace, they all traveled around and had a wide range of knowledge. If you have time, you can exchange ideas with them to broaden your horizons. As for the imperial physicians from aristocratic families, you have a profound foundation and many of your medical skills are beyond the reach of doctors from the common people. Exchange ideas with each other and grow together."
All the imperial physicians looked at each other.
Everyone has their own specialty.
The imperial physicians from aristocratic families looked at the imperial physicians from the common people, led by Chu Xingsheng.
While they were still completely confused, Chu Xingsheng and the others had already begun administering acupuncture.
Chu Xingsheng and the others watched as the imperial physicians, who came from aristocratic families, reacted swiftly after understanding the situation.
Today, Liu Yiyi's words have broken through the wall that separates the two polarized factions in the Imperial Medical Academy.
After everyone had left, Sun Mingru walked up to Liu Yiyi.
"Director Liu, shall we talk inside?"
The courtyard was indeed its own separate courtyard, and Sun Mingru invited Liu Yiyi to his courtyard.
Liu Yiyi sat down to one side. "Did you ask me to come here to study the antidote for Qianli Powder together?"
Sun Mingru walked to the medicine cabinet and took out something.
It was wrapped in a red cloth.
"Don't worry, Imperial Physician Liu. I have already instructed the imperial physicians in the academy to search through ancient books to find a formula for developing an antidote. I called you here today to give you this."
Liu Yiyi opened the red cloth, and then her eyes lit up.
"Dragon Blood Vine!"
Sun Mingru smiled and stroked his beard. "This dragon blood vine is two hundred years old. Although it's not top-grade, it's still quite good. I heard you were looking for this, and I happen to have one at home, so I thought I'd give it to you."
Liu Yiyi picked up the dragon blood vine and smelled it. Although it wasn't as good as the one Chu Xingsheng had given her, it was still enough to make heart-protecting pills.
She immediately said, "This is too valuable, I can't accept it for free. How much is it? I'll buy it."
Sun Mingru spoke up, "Little Liu, do you not consider me one of your own?"
Liu Yiyi blinked, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember your kindness."
The dragon blood vine that Chu Xingsheng gave her is about to run out, and she has been looking for it recently.
Sun Mingru is a godsend.
Although it cannot cure the poison, it can nourish Qin Jinzhi's heart meridian.
She carefully put the dragon blood vine away.
When the court session ended, Liu Yiyi carried her medical kit to the Imperial Study.
Yesterday she examined the pulses of His Majesty and the Empress, and neither of them was poisoned.
But I still have some minor health problems.
Qin Jinzhi asked her to come back today for a pulse check so that she could treat the two of them.
When Liu Yiyi arrived at the Imperial Study, the Emperor and Empress were inside receiving the Crown Prince.
She stood outside the door waiting for the message to be given.
A short while later, the door to the Imperial Study was opened.
Not only the Crown Prince emerged from there, but also Lang Xuan, the Minister of Rites.
Liu Yiyi bowed to the two men and then walked into the Imperial Study.
Suddenly, the Crown Prince called out to Liu Yiyi, "I haven't yet thanked Imperial Physician Liu for saving my life and that of my brothers and sisters."
Liu Yiyi smiled and said, "This is my duty, Your Highness. I am unworthy of your thanks."
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Liu Yuanzheng's medical skills are superb. The Crown Prince's concubine will soon give birth to an heir, and I am very worried. I would like to ask that Doctor Liu come to the Crown Prince's Palace in the next few days to check the concubine's pulse to ensure her safety."
Liu Yiyi replied, "Your Highness's orders will be obeyed."
After saying that, Liu Yiyi walked into the Imperial Study.
Lang Xuan bowed to the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, this old minister will also take his leave."
The Crown Prince looked at Lang Xuan and said, "Minister Lang comes from a family with a long and distinguished academic tradition. It is a blessing for Jing Yao and Jing Yi to receive his teachings and enlightenment."
Lang Xuan smiled and said, "Your Highness is too kind. It was the princess who took a liking to me and recommended me to His Majesty and the Empress, which is why I was able to become the young prince and princess's tutor."
The Crown Prince laughed even harder, "Then Minister Lang must not disappoint Jinzhi's heart."
After Lang Xuan left.
The prince's smile vanished.
He strode out of the Imperial Study.
Liu Yiyi entered the imperial study and took the pulses of the two men.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your health is fine, but your liver qi stagnation is quite severe. I will go to Your Majesty's palace later to give you both acupuncture treatment."
The Empress nodded. "Xiao Liu, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing that only Eunuch Hong was in the hall, Liu Yiyi whispered, "Your Highness, I have not worked hard. The princess has given me a lot."
