Chapter 136 Entering the Palace
The classes at Yaoxianglou are always full every day.
Three days later, the classes started to be charged, and the number of people attending not only did not decrease, but increased.
"Qianqian! Thirty cents for one class, isn't that a bit too low?" Qu Lingxiao looked at the crowded Yaoxianglou and asked Lin Qian beside him.
Lin Qian shook her head and said, "Not a small amount. I think it's about the same. Besides, this is just the price for the lectures downstairs. After the lectures start on the fourth floor, each person will be charged 100 coins."
Lin Qian had already made up her mind. She would not use the ticket money. When she had saved enough, she would buy a big house, open a private school, and teach the children some basic medical skills.
Qu Lingxiao nodded.
As the two were talking, they heard a voice.
"Miss! We finally found you." Bai Wei and Bai Zhi ran over breathlessly.
Lin Qian looked at the two of them in some confusion and asked, "Why are you here?" She usually didn't bring a maid with her when she went out, so Bai Zhi and Bai Wei were always at home.
Bai Zhi said, "Miss, just now, Eunuch Su from the palace came to our house and said that the emperor is seriously ill and wants you to go to the palace quickly to see the emperor."
The emperor is seriously ill? Lin Qian suddenly remembered that she had seen the emperor with dark circles under his eyes, looking like a drug addict, but she didn't find it strange.
It would be strange if he didn't get sick.
Lin Qian did not dare to delay and immediately got on the carriage back to the Lin Mansion. On the way, she met Eunuch Su.
"Miss Lin, hurry up, we are here to pick you up." Eunuch Su came in a carriage. When he saw the Lin family's carriage, he quickly stopped it.
Lin Qian did not hesitate and got on the carriage with Baizhi and Baiwei.
"Eunuch Su, is the emperor's condition very serious?" Lin Qian asked as she got into the carriage.
Lin Qian had also met the emperor once or twice. Just from his facial features, she knew that the emperor had a weak spleen and stomach, insufficient qi and blood, and probably had hidden injuries. After all, he had been unfavored since childhood, and the late emperor had ignored him, so his life must have been difficult.
His body was rather frail, and it was not easy for him to grow up safely. If he was not careful, the hidden injury might break out and turn into a serious illness.
When Eunuch Su heard this, his face was filled with heartache and he kept sighing. He said, "Miss Lin, go and take a look and you'll know."
Lin Qian thought he didn't dare to say more, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Who would have thought that when he hurried into the palace, he found that the emperor was reviewing memorials at that moment. Although his expression was not good, it was still normal.
"Didn't you say you were sick? I don't think you look like that." Lin Qian looked at the emperor's face for a long time and said.
The emperor didn't say anything about Lin Qian's lack of greeting and her familiar demeanor. He simply said, "When treating a patient, one can't just judge by appearances. Please take my pulse first."
Lin Qian had already realized that something was wrong, but she was already on the pirate ship and couldn't get off easily.
Seeing the emperor stretching out his wrist with a smile, Lin Qian felt powerless and could only step forward to take the emperor's pulse.
"It's just as I thought. Your spleen and stomach are weak, your qi and blood are deficient, and your bones and muscles are not in good condition. Although the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital has treated you, the medicine is too mild and has little effect." Lin Qian said.
The emperor knew his own health very well and asked Lin Qian, "Can you heal me?"
Lin Qian continued to feel the pulse and said, "Yes, it will take some time. You have quite a few hidden injuries. You will need to take medicine, acupuncture, and medicated diet. It will take at least a year and a half."
The emperor's health is really bad.
"Okay, then you can prescribe medicine and acupuncture for me first." said the emperor.
Lin Qian nodded, and after a while, she suddenly exclaimed, and her expression gradually became solemn. Eunuch Su, who was standing next to her, had a look of nervousness on his face.
"Miss Lin, what's wrong?" asked Eunuch Su.
Lin Qian frowned and took the emperor's pulse for a while, then suddenly grabbed the emperor's hand. The emperor did not react and let Lin Qian do what she wanted, but his brows gradually frowned.
Pulling out a silver needle from her armlet, Lin Qian poked the emperor's index finger. A drop of blood flowed out. She leaned over to smell it and indeed, she smelled a faint fragrance.
"What's wrong with me?" The emperor looked up at Lin Qian with an ugly expression and asked.
"It's poisoned." Lin Qian said.
Eunuch Su and the Emperor exchanged a glance, and the Emperor asked, "Can you tell what the poison is?"
Lin Qian shook her head: “I don’t know much about poison, but if the emperor trusts me, you can ask my senior brother, Meng Ziling, to come over. He is a disciple of the Immortal Doctor Valley.
Immortal Doctor Valley has always been a place where poison and medicine are taught. His understanding of poisons is much greater than mine."
She could cure the poison, after all, she had the space and the cold spring, but the emperor was poisoned for no reason, so she had to find out the source.
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Su, who immediately understood and left the palace to find Meng Ziling.
"You stay in the palace first and help me recuperate. I still need your help to cover up." The emperor said to Lin Qian.
Lin Qian knew the importance of this matter and nodded, then asked him, "Your Majesty, but you didn't think so before, did you? You called me here not just to help you recuperate, right?"
This time, the emperor just smiled and said nothing.
"Wu Lin, send Miss Lin to stay in the side hall and have someone serve her carefully." After saying that, the emperor gave Lin Qian a cunning look from his back and went to continue reviewing memorials.
Lin Qian had no choice but to take Bai Wei and Bai Zhi, who were waiting outside the palace, to the emperor's side palace.
Wu Lin is a little eunuch with a round face, about eighteen or nineteen years old. When he smiles, he has a pair of small canine teeth, which is quite cute.
"Ms. Lin, come this way." Wu Lin led the way.
"Miss, where are we going? Aren't we going back home?" Bai Wei walked beside Lin Qian and asked quietly.
Lin Qian sighed and said, "If we don't go back, we probably won't be able to go back for a while. Let's just stay in the palace. You two shouldn't run around if you have nothing to do."
Bai Zhi and Bai Wei nodded immediately.
Soon they arrived at Lin Qian's residence. Wu Lin also arranged a young eunuch and two palace maids to serve Lin Qian. After arranging everything, Wu Lin hurried back to serve the emperor.
Lin Qian got to know the three of them and learned that the young eunuch was named Xiaofu and the two palace maids were named Caixing and Caiyue.
"Xiaofu, do you have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone? I will write a prescription later, and you can go to the Imperial Hospital to get the herbs." Lin Qian said.
As the saying goes, a monk must ring the bell for his job. Since she is here to treat the emperor's health, she has to do her job well.
When Wu Lin left just now, he had already told Lin Qian the purpose of his visit. Xiaofu naturally did not dare to neglect it. He took the four treasures of the study and after seeing Lin Qian write the prescription, he went to get the medicine.
As soon as Xiaofu brought back the herbs, Wu Lin came to ask Lin Qian to go see the emperor, saying that Meng Ziling had arrived.
