Chapter 274 Master's Support
The moment she saw Li Yushi, Xu Wanqing's expression suddenly became even uglier.
She knew that Li Yushi had a good relationship with Shen Ning...
Xu Wanqing stretched out her hand with an expressionless face and a cold look.
Li Yushi greeted the patient with impeccable etiquette. After taking the patient's pulse, he took out a pen and wrote the prescription while explaining the precautions.
"Thoughts damage the spleen, and anger damages the liver. Your Majesty must have been unable to sleep these past two days due to excessive internal heat. I will prescribe two doses of tranquilizing medicine for you. Please refrain from overthinking and getting angry..."
But before she could finish her words, Xu Wanqing interrupted her coldly, "Are you saying that I'm petty and easily angered?"
Li Yushi was slightly startled, then immediately shook her head: "That is not what I meant. Your Highness the Crown Princess has misunderstood."
"Misunderstand?"
Xu Wanqing sneered, venting all the resentment she had been suppressing. "Who the hell are you? How dare you tell me what to do?"
Li Yushi quickly apologized: "Your Highness dare not..."
At this moment, the palace maid beside Xu Wanqing shouted, "How dare you quibble!"
As he said that, he slapped Li Yushi in the face. Li Yushi suddenly covered her face, looking stunned.
She has now become a female physician in the palace. Although her official position is low, she is indeed an official. Moreover, the imperial physician is not a slave. No matter which palace she goes to, those in high positions will be polite to her.
Even those who were arrogant would at most be polite and perfunctory. Li Yushi had never thought that after becoming a medical officer, she would be inexplicably slapped by a palace maid.
But the person opposite her was the Crown Princess, and her father was also a member of the Xu family. Tears welled up in Li Yushi's eyes, but she suppressed her grievance and resentment...
Xu Wanqing let out a breath and sneered, "Back off. Have someone boil the medicine and send it over."
"yes."
Li Yushi took the medicine box and left the Eastern Palace. As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, tears fell.
She was not a timid person, but because of her status and position, she had no choice but to endure humiliation and anger... Thinking that she was inexplicably slapped by a palace servant while devoting herself to studying medicine, the grievance in her heart could not help but surge.
Well, at worst I can just quit being a medical officer and open a clinic outside to realize my ambitions. That's better than suffering humiliation for no reason.
When she returned to the Imperial Hospital, Li Yushi had calmed down. When she entered the room, she saw Ye Heng sorting out medical records there, and she forced a smile.
"I'm back."
Ye Heng raised his head and said something casually, but just as he lowered his head, he raised it again with a frown: "What's going on? What happened?"
Li Yushi was slightly startled, then quickly shook her head: "No, it's okay."
"Are you crying? Why are you crying? Did you get bullied at the East Palace?" Ye Heng put down the medical records and walked over.
Li Yushi turned her face away: "To answer Master, no."
"Don't try to fool my eyes."
Ye Heng said in a cold and dissatisfied voice, "Being my apprentice and not enjoying any special privileges is already a sign of my fairness. If I were to let you suffer any injustice, wouldn't it make me, Ye Heng, appear incompetent... Stop lying and tell the truth. If anyone bullies you, even if it's the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, I will seek justice for you."
Ye Heng's face was gloomy, fearing that Li Yushi was bullied by the ridiculous and lustful prince.
Li Yushi had originally calmed down, but at this moment, she was questioned sternly but with concern, and she couldn't hold back her tears again. Under Ye Heng's questioning, she told him about the humiliation she suffered at the hands of Xu Wanqing.
Ye Heng instantly flew into a rage: "You are a medical officer of the Imperial Hospital, not a servant of hers in the Eastern Palace. Why did she hit you?"
"Walk!"
Ye Heng walked out directly: "If I don't give you justice today, I won't be staying in this Imperial Hospital anymore!"
“Master, Master!”
Li Yushi hurriedly chased out to stop him, but was unable to do so.
Ye Heng's eyes were filled with anger. He directly called the two pharmacists on duty who were resting nearby and asked them to go to Concubine Ye's palace to report the news. He then led his men straight to the East Palace.
Just as Li Yushi was forced to follow Ye Heng to the gate of the East Palace while begging desperately, Concubine Ye also arrived.
"It's late at night and you can't even let me live in peace." Concubine Ye sighed and held her forehead.
Ye Heng stepped forward and said, "Aunt, please forgive me. It is true that the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace is a female relative, and it would be inconvenient for my nephew to come alone. That is why I have to trouble you to come."
Concubine Ye sat on the sedan chair and raised her finger: "Let's go, I really owe you..."
Ye Heng coughed lightly and moved closer: "My disciple is here, please give me some face, aunt."
Concubine Ye chuckled: "Okay, okay."
Xu Wanqing was about to remove her makeup and wash up when she heard the palace maid report that Concubine Ye had arrived.
In the palace, apart from the Queen, there was only Noble Concubine Ye. Even though Xu Wanqing was the Crown Princess, it was not easy for her to act rashly. She stood up and greeted her politely. The next moment, she saw Ye Heng and Li Yushi standing beside Noble Concubine Ye.
"Just now, I was talking to this useless nephew when someone came to report that his disciple had offended the Crown Princess... The Crown Princess is so noble, I dare not be careless. I brought the person here for questioning so that I can know how to punish him."
Xu Wanqing's heart sank. She knew that he was here to cause trouble.
Xu Wanqing never thought that someone would seek revenge for beating up a small medical officer.
But since they had already arrived, she didn't show any fear. She politely asked Concubine Ye to sit down and said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. It's just that the medical officer was rude and disrespectful to me, so I ordered someone to punish him."
Ye Heng stepped forward and said, "Please, Her Majesty, please explain to me how Doctor Li could have been so rude and disrespectful to you."
Xu Wanqing raised her eyebrows: "Doctor Ye, are you questioning me?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Heng didn't buy her story at all and said directly, "This is a confrontation. What's the reason? Could it be that the Crown Princess is not in the right and doesn't dare to confront her?"
Xu Wanqing was furious: "How outrageous."
Ye Heng sneered: "You are the one who is presumptuous. The Imperial Concubine is the elder after all. Is the Crown Princess using her status as the Crown Princess to bully others?"
The Crown Princess's status was more noble, but Noble Concubine Ye was her elder after all. Xu Wanqing gritted her teeth and held back, then said to Noble Concubine Ye, "Is Your Majesty the Noble Concubine so indulgent to Master Ye?"
Concubine Ye seemed to be dozing off. Upon hearing this, she looked up and said, "Hmm? What... Oh, are you going to confront me? The Crown Princess is in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace. She will definitely not punish the medical officer unreasonably."
Xu Wanqing sneered: "Could it be that I, the dignified Crown Princess, now have to give you an explanation for punishing a small medical officer?"
Ye Heng took a step forward and said, "A medical officer is also an official. The Crown Princess is in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace and the harem, but she punishes court officials for no reason. Could it be that she wants to interfere in government affairs?"
A big hat was put on her, and Xu Wanqing was shocked and angry, choking and speechless.
Unexpectedly, Ye Heng didn't give up. He sneered and said, "Since the Crown Princess won't say it, then I, Ye, will say it for you. It's just that you are not favored by the Crown Prince and are in a bad mood. When I, your disciple, told you that worrying too much is not good for your health, you got angry and hit someone to vent your anger. Is what I said right?"
