Chapter 340 Dare?
Imperial Physician Liu has been feeling restless ever since he accepted the task.
The Queen Mother took Jixiang to the Prince's Mansion to send the little prince of Zhao Kingdom away from the capital. He didn't know when Su Qingqing would come back, and he didn't know whether was willing to cooperate with him.
The ointment that Yue Niang took out "saved" Jixiang's life, but Jixiang had been with Su Qingqing for many years...
When Imperial Physician Liu was getting extremely anxious and frustrated, his medicine boy came running in from outside, "Master, the Queen is back."
When Imperial Physician Liu heard this, he stood up and walked out.
The medicine boy didn't know what his master was going to do with the Empress, so he followed beside her and said in a low voice, "The Empress was very angry and beat Jixiang at the palace gate. I'm afraid now is not a good time for Master to go to the Empress."
The medicine boy was a little worried.
Imperial Physician Liu paused in his hasty steps, "What?"
The medicine boy hurriedly said, "I heard that it happened today at the Crown Prince's Mansion. The Queen somehow mentioned the wife of the chief escort of Weiyuan Escort Agency. Jixiang said a few good words for the wife of the chief escort. The Queen got very angry, but she just looked cold and didn't scold him.
When they arrived at the palace gate, for some reason, the queen suddenly lost her temper.
How strong is the queen? She is a veteran on the battlefield. It is said that she whipped Jixiang right away and the people around her couldn't stop her. "
The medicine boy was talking when a little palace maid came running outside. They both stopped talking immediately. Imperial Physician Liu took a look and saw that this palace maid was the one who served in the Queen's bedroom.
"What's wrong?" He stepped forward and greeted the palace maid who ran into the Imperial Hospital.
The maid looked anxious, "Hey, Imperial Physician Liu."
As she spoke, she glanced at the medicine boy in front of Liu Yuyi. Liu Yuyi understood and made up an excuse to send the medicine boy away. As soon as the medicine boy left, the palace maid immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Do you have any ointment that can heal whip wounds? Give me a bottle quickly."
Imperial Physician Liu looked puzzled. "What's wrong? Who is injured? You can't just apply this ointment randomly. I have to check the injury. Some injuries cause blood stasis inside. Applying ointment alone won't help. You have to drink the medicine."
The palace maid's face turned pale with anxiety.
"No, our queen won't allow a doctor."
Imperial Physician Liu was stunned and even more shocked.
The little maid gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Jixiang was beaten by the Queen today. She was beaten very badly, but the Queen said that she had to cure Jixiang's temper so that she wouldn't forget the hierarchy, so she didn't allow a doctor to be sent for her.
The queen was furious. No one could persuade her , but Sister Jixiang had already started to have a fever. Her body was covered in blood from the whipping. Her skin was all red.
Imperial Physician Liu pretended to be shocked. "He's starting to have a fever? I need to take a look."
"But our queen won't let the doctor come over, how can we treat this? Just give me some ointment and I'll apply it on her externally first."
Imperial Physician Liu refused with a look of refusal, "No, this won't work. There are many kinds of external ointments. I have to determine which one to use based on her specific injuries. If I use the wrong one, it will not only fail to cure the disease, but will also make it worse."
"Then what should we do? You can't get in. Jixiang's room is next to the side hall. If you go in, the Queen will definitely know. Then, let alone saving Sister Jixiang, we will all be killed. You should give me the ointment. Aunt Xu knows a little bit. Let her see if the ointment can be used. Give me two more bottles."
Imperial Physician Liu wanted to see Jixiang, but in the current situation, he seemed to have no other choice. After hesitating for a moment, he did not have time to discuss with the Minister of Rites outside, so he said, "Well, we have a female doctor in the Imperial Hospital. Let her pretend to be a palace maid and go in to see Jixiang first.
After all, he is someone who serves the Empress. Now the Empress is angry and does not allow doctors to see him. But when the Empress calms down, if Jixiang becomes seriously ill and difficult to treat, the Empress will be the one who will be worried.
What do you think? "
The maid said, "Is this okay? Really? It would be great if it were convenient."
Imperial Physician Liu breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, go back and get a set of palace maid's clothes. I'll go find the female doctor."
The young palace maid had no suspicion and left immediately.
As soon as she left, Imperial Physician Liu immediately called his medicine boy, "Go to the needlework room and find Bai Ting. Ask her to come here immediately. Don't let anyone see us."
…
A quarter of an hour later.
The little palace maid in Su Qingqing's bedroom took Bai Ting, who was disguised as a palace maid under the guise of a female doctor, and went straight back to Su Qingqing's bedroom.
Everyone in the palace knew that Jixiang was beaten. Normally, everyone had a good relationship with Jixiang, so this time everyone turned a blind eye and pretended that they didn't notice anything. The little palace maid quickly took Bai Ting to Jixiang.
"Go and help Sister Jixiang. I'll be guarding outside."
Bai Ting was overjoyed. He lowered his head and responded, then immediately went in.
Jixiang lay on the bed, his cheeks flushed, his forehead hot, and he was humming.
Bai Ting was just a maid in the needlework room, and she didn't know any medical skills. She didn't pretend to check Jixiang's wound. She walked up to Jixiang and said directly, "I was sent by Imperial Physician Liu. Imperial Physician Liu asked me to tell you a few words."
Jixiang opened his eyes barely.
"What?"
"Do you want to continue to be loyal to your master who treats you as a lackey and a punching bag, or do you want to get a generous reward and run away?"
Jixiang was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Bai Ting said, "If you are willing to cooperate and put this pill into your master's diet, we will immediately arrange for you to leave the palace and give you a thousand taels of gold as a reward."
Jixiang lay there and sneered.
"You are negotiating with me, aren't you afraid that I will expose you directly?"
Bai Ting said: "Since I was proposed by Lord Liu, I am already a useless chess piece. If you expose me, I will die at most. But. Will the Queen really believe your absolute innocence?
Today she can beat you to the ground and not allow anyone to see a doctor for you, and tomorrow she can take your life because of a little suspicion.
If you expose me, it will not do you any good, but if you cooperate with me, you can get a thousand ounces of gold."
Jixiang looked at her, "How can I trust you?"
Bai Ting was just here to pass on the message. "If you are willing to cooperate, feel free to ask for anything. I will convey it to you."
“I don’t expect a thousand ounces of gold , but it would be best if you deposit ten thousand ounces of silver into the HSBC Bank right now and give me a receipt. I only believe in real gold and silver.
Also, please buy me a private house in Kyoto. I want the title deed."
After a pause, Jixiang suddenly chuckled, "I agreed so readily, do you dare to believe me?"
