Chapter 115 Finding a Backer for Yourself
There was anger in Concubine Yi's voice, "Come in!"
Yun Zhao tightened the strap of the medicine box on his body and lowered his head to go in.
Before he could stand firmly, a tea bowl fell on Yun Zhao's head.
Yun Zhao reacted, but he clenched his hands into fists and didn't dodge.
Concubine Yi has already started cursing.
"Are all the people in your Imperial Hospital dead?!"
"Are you taking advantage of my inability to conceive by deliberately sending a frail woman to treat me?!"
"Rong Yuan is getting bolder and bolder now! How dare you fool me like this!"
The scalding tea dripped onto the ground from Yun Zhao's forehead, and he kept his head down.
After waiting for the verbal abuse to end, Concubine Yi angrily pointed at Yun Zhao's nose and said, "I'm telling you, if you can't tell me the answer to my pulse today, I'll kill you!"
Eunuch Li stood aside and looked at Yun Zhao with regret.
Yun Zhao took out the medicine box and bent over to feel Concubine Yi's pulse.
Concubine Yi was furious. "What? Are you going to say again that there's nothing wrong with my body, that I just need time, and that I should control my temper so that I can successfully conceive a Dragonborn?"
Concubine Yi looked at Yun Zhao viciously.
His eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone.
"No," Yun Zhao put his hand away, stood up straight, and wiped the tea off his face with his sleeve. "Empress Yi, I'm sick."
Concubine Yi seemed stunned for a moment by Yun Zhao's words.
Then, after seeing Yun Zhao's face clearly, he was stunned again.
The woman in front of him was wearing coarse clothes, as if she had not had time to rush to get the imperial physician to serve her, so her clothes were very simple.
There is a sense of determination and agility between his eyebrows and eyes.
Neither humble nor arrogant, he stood in her palace and said word by word: "Besides, the disease has already entered my lungs."
Concubine Yi narrowed her eyes, a look of great displeasure appearing on her face. "How dare you curse me! Are you courting death?"
The people around were completely afraid to breathe and were trying their best to reduce their presence.
Only Yun Zhao looked straight at her. "You have frequent dreams at night, back pain in the spring, weak knees, and difficulty sleeping in bed. You also have insomnia and difficulty sleeping during menstruation. These are all signs."
Concubine Yi was stunned.
The palm raised high was suspended in mid-air.
Seeing this, Eunuch Li on the side thought Yun Zhao was wrong.
He roared angrily, "You little imperial physician, what nonsense are you talking about! You're even unable to handle the bed! The Empress is so beautiful and healthy, and you're talking nonsense! Come on! Drag him out and beat him to death!"
The eunuchs outside the door rushed in and held Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao's eyes were like torches. "My Lady, if you still care about your reputation at this moment, you will probably never be able to conceive a Dragonborn!"
Eunuch Li was anxious. "You useless people, why don't you get him out of here! Get him out of here!"
Xie Jingmo strode forward and was stopped by someone when he was about to enter Concubine Yi's palace.
"Rong Yuan?!"
"Thank you, General. They are checking Concubine Yi's pulse. You are a foreigner, so there is no reason for you to go in."
Xie Jingmo looked at Rong Yuan coldly, "Are you doing this for Rong Xiao?"
Rong Yuan's face was stern. "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. The general said that day that Yun Zhao has been with the general for seven years. Now Rong Xiao is stubborn and refuses to change. As a father, I should help him. Yun Zhao is no longer suitable to stay in the Imperial Hospital."
Rong Yuan wanted to use Concubine Yi to remove the thorn in Rong Xiao's heart.
Inside the hall.
Concubine Yi lowered her hand, which was suspended in mid-air, and said coldly to Eunuch Li and the others, "Get out!"
Eunuch Li was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
Concubine Yi's eyes were sharp, "Get out!"
Everyone left, leaving only Concubine Yi's personal maid standing beside her.
The maidservant said sternly, "Please tell me in detail. This madam's illness can be cured!"
Yun Zhao said calmly, not in the least bit timid, "We need to use acupuncture first, then medicine. We will know the effect after ten days."
The maid was furious when she heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you allow the Empress to poke needles in her body at will?"
Yun Zhao didn't say anything.
The room fell silent.
After a long pause, Concubine Yi finally said, "How confident are you?"
Yun Zhao: "Fifty percent."
Yun Zhao deliberately didn't say it was too high.
She knew that if some things were too easy to do, she would appear to be taking things too easy.
No matter why Rong Yuan pushed him out this time, Yun Zhao understood one thing.
In the deep inner court of the palace, hiding her incompetence will not protect her. She needs someone to protect her and she needs to stand at a higher position.
Only in this way can we have a say.
Only then can you protect yourself and your family.
And now, Concubine Yi is a crisis brought by others, but it may also be an opportunity.
Concubine Yi thought for a long time and asked the question that concerned her most, "Will it... leave scars?"
Women dress up to please themselves, and this is especially true for women in the imperial palace.
Even someone as domineering as Concubine Yi still needs a good appearance to win a man's heart.
Yun Zhao lowered his head and said, "It will disappear in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi fell silent again.
After a moment, she raised her eyes, with a firm look in them. "Everyone in the Imperial Physician's Palace, including Rong Yuan, says that I am healthy, but I haven't been able to give birth to a child in ten years. I trust you today. If this succeeds, I will promise you a lifetime of wealth and glory. If this fails..."
Concubine Yi stopped.
After a moment, Youyou said, "I want your whole family to be buried with the child I didn't conceive."
The hall fell silent.
Yun Zhao took out an acupuncture needle from the medicine box and inserted the silver needle into the acupoint.
Concubine Yi looked at Yun Zhao's fair face and focused eyes. She didn't know why, she had never seen Yun Zhao before, but at this moment, she had complete trust in her.
"I didn't expect that although you look thin, you can give acupuncture with ease." Concubine Yi said coldly.
Yun Zhao said softly, "Relax, Your Majesty."
Concubine Yi relaxed her body, and after a moment, she felt a warm current flowing from the soles of her feet to her heart.
The originally cold belly seemed to be comforted by something warm, and the warmth spread from the belly to every part of the body.
Concubine Yi found it magical and her eyes lit up.
Yun Zhao met Concubine Yi's eyes calmly and calmly, "Your Majesty, please use less incense in the room."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi frowned immediately.
"What do you mean?"
Yun Zhao said, "Your Majesty is very intelligent. You will understand without me saying anything more."
When the acupuncture was finished, Yun Zhao had the fresh crabapples on the table taken away.
"You suspect there's something wrong with this flower?! It's freshly delivered daily by the Imperial Household Department."
Yun Zhao lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please keep quiet for now, so as not to alert the enemy. I will try the effect of acupuncture first, and then investigate in detail after you become pregnant with the Dragonborn."
When Concubine Yi heard this, she couldn't help but look at Yun Zhao a few more times.
Brave and resourceful.
He is someone who can be used.
When Yun Zhao came, he walked.
When he left, Eunuch Li escorted him out and said politely, "Then please come back tomorrow. I won't go out of my way to invite you."
Yun Zhao walked out of Concubine Yi's Palace safely, carrying a heavy medicine box.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief.
Just outside, I saw Rong Yuan and Xie Jingmo confronting each other.
The two looked at Yun Zhao in astonishment.
