Chapter 45 Do you want to rebel?
Chang'an Palace.
"Chang'an Jun is in good health and has no hidden illness. I followed my master to the mountains to collect herbs when I was four years old, and I have been practicing medicine ever since. I have never seen anyone who indulges in love affairs without suffering from physical problems. It's strange, strange."
After Xia Wuqie finished taking Ying Chengjiao's pulse, he was amazed and kept praising him in amazement.
"No way, Old Man Xia, don't lie to me. I sneezed all day yesterday."
Ying Chengjiao leaned back in his chair, glancing at Xia Wuqie with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Cheng Jiao! Don't be rude to the imperial physician!"
Sitting in the main seat, a beautiful woman with a phoenix hairpin on her head scolded Ying Chengjiao.
Xia Wuqie looked at Ying Chengjiao with helplessness.
He was the personal physician of the First Emperor, and even the First Emperor was very polite to him on weekdays.
But only Ying Chengjiao called him Old Man Xia every time he met him.
Xia Wuqi is only thirty-six years old this year. Although he looks a little older, he is definitely not an old man.
"Queen Dowager Han, is there anything wrong with Lord Chang'an? I will take my leave now." Xia Wuqie bid farewell to the woman.
"Thank you for your help, Imperial Physician. This golden bean will be used as Jiao's consultation fee."
Before the woman finished speaking, the maid beside her stepped forward and handed a thumb-sized gold bean to Xia Wuqie's hand.
"Thank you Queen Mother Han."
Xia Wuqie did not refuse, grabbed the golden beans in his hand and left Chang'an Palace.
It is natural for a doctor to treat patients and he does not need to charge any fees.
But if the patient offers to pay for the consultation, there is no reason not to accept it.
There is no tradition of true disciples of doctors pretending to refuse.
"Mother, this palace is too small. You should move to the Changle Palace that your brother has prepared for you." Ying Chengjiao glanced around the palace with disgust in his eyes and shouted at the woman.
The woman called Queen Mother Han by Xia Wuqie was Ying Chengjiao's biological mother.
There were two queen dowagers in the Qin State, one was Queen Dowager Zhao, the mother of Ying Zheng, and the other was Queen Dowager Han, the mother of Ying Chengjiao.
"If you get married, not only can I move to Changle Palace, I will also agree to your request even if you move to your Chang'an Mansion," said Queen Mother Han.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. Mother, you just stay here and look after the house for me. I'll have a place to stay when I return to the palace!"
Chang'an Palace was not originally called Chang'an Palace, but Chengjiao Palace. It was the sleeping palace of Ying Chengjiao in Xianyang Palace when he was still Prince Chengjiao of Qin.
Since Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne as King of Qin, Ying Chengjiao moved out of the imperial palace and set up his own residence, so Chengjiao Palace became empty.
It was not until later that Ying Zheng eliminated Lu Buwei and other rebels and became the real King of Qin.
Ying Chengjiao was named Lord of Chang'an, and Ying Chengjiao's mother Han Ji was named Queen Mother Han.
The first thing Han Ji did after becoming the Queen Mother was to rename Chengjiao Palace as Chang'an Palace and move in to use it as her own bedroom.
"Every time you talk about getting married, you lose your edge. Why can't you let go of the bet?"
"Ahem! Mother, if we continue talking like this, none of the eunuchs and palace maids here will be left alive!" Ying Chengjiao raised his hand to his mouth, coughed twice, and spoke in a gloomy tone.
All the eunuchs and palace maids who heard these words changed their complexion and became confused.
They looked at Ying Chengjiao's handsome face, but they had no love for his beauty at all. Instead, they were filled with fear.
In their eyes, Ying Chengjiao is an unparalleled devil!
They will not forget, fifteen days ago.
It was in this Chang'an Palace that the newly arrived eunuch Zhang had just entered the palace.
The demon in front of him said with a smile: "He who enters the palace with his left foot first shall be killed."
Then the devil drew the sword from his waist and cut off the eunuch Zhang's head with one sword on the charge of such a trivial crime.
The resentful look in Eunuch Zhang's eyes before his death is still deep in the memories of these eunuchs and palace maids, and is their midnight nightmare.
If Queen Mother Han had not taken the responsibility for the incident and ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to keep it secret and that anyone who leaked the information would be exterminated along with their entire family, the matter would have spread throughout the Xianyang Palace long ago.
"Don't scare them!" Queen Mother Han said unhappily.
Ying Chengjiao would beat people every time he came to Chang'an Palace. This drama was performed dozens of times a year, and Queen Dowager Han was already tired of it.
The eunuchs and palace maids did not think that Ying Chengjiao was bluffing.
They had seen Ying Chengjiao kill people with their own eyes, and they were so frightened that their legs were trembling and they could hardly stand steadily.
If they knew that Ying Chengjiao beheaded Supervisor Zhao, who had served the eldest son Ying Fusu for many years, in the Da Zheng Palace the day before, they would definitely be even more frightened at this moment.
"Haha, it's just a joke. Everyone relax, I'm the one who's talking!" Ying Chengjiao said with a smile.
When the eunuchs and palace maids heard Ying Chengjiao's tone, they became even more frightened and they all lowered their heads and dared not raise them.
That day, Ying Chengjiao spoke to Eunuch Zhang in this tone, and then he chopped off Eunuch Zhang's head with a sword. Blood spurted from Eunuch Zhang's neck a foot high.
They are also worried about this, so it would be better to clear them out.
Looking at the eunuchs and palace maids around her who were huddled together in fear by Ying Chengjiao, Queen Dowager Han felt sorry for them.
"Everyone get out."
"only!"
"only!"
"only!"
“…”
This was the quickest and most sincere response from the palace maids and eunuchs in Chang'an Palace.
They left Chang'an Palace at the fastest and most polite pace, as if there was some ferocious beast in the palace.
This is quite true. In their hearts, Chang'an Jun Ying Chengjiao is even more ferocious than a monster.
"No one is here. Tell me the truth. Why did you come to my mother's place today?"
Queen Mother Han didn't believe that Ying Chengjiao came here to treat his illness.
She knows her son best. He hasn't even caught a cold in more than ten years. How could he have any disease?
"Mother, I really came here to see a doctor! I guess Old Man Xia is not very skilled and can't tell!"
"Xia Wuqie is the descendant of Bian Que, and his medical skills are superb. Even His Majesty praised him endlessly. If he said you are not sick, then you are not sick, unless you are not sick!"
"He is the descendant of Bian Que? It must be fake, mother, don't be fooled by him!" Ying Chengjiao still didn't believe it. "He said that he had only seen me, a person who indulged in love affairs but was healthy. He is just too ignorant!"
The same goes for that fat guy Zhang Cang!
Queen Mother Han's face darkened.
"Let's get down to business!"
There is nothing to be proud of in this matter!
"I have put Fusu under house arrest. Mother, please don't feel bad for him and let him out!"
"You put Fusu under house arrest?!" Queen Mother Han was really shocked this time, her voice rose eight degrees: "Does your majesty know? Does the queen know? Does Concubine Zheng know?"
"Everything is known." Ying Chengjiao replied.
They definitely didn't know when Fusu was confined the day before yesterday. Now that a day has passed, they should... know, right?
"It's good that they all know about it, it's not just you who makes the decision."
Queen Mother Han felt relieved.
She didn't know that Ying Chengjiao acted first and reported later.
"Why is Fusu confined?"
"Don't worry about it, mother. I have my reasons. Just don't let him out."
Queen Dowager Han looked at Ying Chengjiao with half joy and half worry , which made Ying Chengjiao feel so scared.
"Mom, just tell me what you want to say."
Queen Dowager Han walked up to Ying Chengjiao, squatted on the ground, and grabbed Ying Chengjiao's hands which were placed on his knees.
"Qian'er, tell your mother the truth, do you want to rebel?"
