Doctor Liu left the hall, the cold sweat on his back was blown by the wind, which made him shiver. He looked back at the main hall and strode towards the Imperial Hospital.
After sitting down at the Taiyuan Hospital and drinking a large cup of hot tea, Dr. Chen felt that his body was getting warmer. He leaned his head against the back of the chair for a long time, and then opened his eyes when he heard he was told to go to Cuiwei Palace for consultation.
He sat up straight and braced himself. When he was about to get up, he saw a folded piece of paper that appeared on the desk in front of him. Chen Yuyi thought that someone had put the prescription. After opening it and reading the content, he was so surprised that he stood up suddenly and glanced left and right. He asked aloud:
"Who was here just now?"
Doctor Tang, who was taking medicine, heard the sound and put down what he was holding and came over:
"Chen Imperial Physician, a few maids from the palace came here just now to get potions from a few noble people, but what happened?"
Dr. Chen rolled the paper into a ball and stuffed it into his sleeve:
"Nothing, go get my medicine box."
After sending Dr. Chen away, Dr. Tang glanced at Dr. Chen's desk, turned around and continued to grab medicine as if nothing had happened.
Cuiwei Palace.
Dr. Chen checked the pulses of Concubine Rou and the little princess, prescribed some soothing decoctions, and advised the little princess to take some medicine if she was worried and nervous.
Dr. Chen stood up to leave, and Chu Chengyao saw him off with a smile.
After the two left, Concubine Rou looked at her daughter in confusion:
"What have you been thinking about all day? How could you be overly worried?"
The young princess spoke up and opened his mouth. Thinking of Lin Jinyan, he changed the words he wanted to say:
"I haven't thought about anything. I've been dreaming about Li Zhao and the assassination of Shanchuan Tan recently. I just have a restless sleep."
"That's all over. Don't think about it anymore. It's so scary."
"I understand, concubine."
After leaving the room, Dr. Chen bowed and asked Chu Chengyao to stay. He raised his feet to leave, but Chu Chengyao stopped him:
"Physician Chen, please take a step to speak."
The two came to a secluded place in the courtyard:
"I heard that the General's Mansion went to the palace to look for medicinal materials. Doctor Chen also went to check General Anbei's pulse. I wonder what symptoms General Anbei has and what medicinal materials he is looking for?"
"It's a rare medicinal introduction. It has miraculous effects on treating old injuries. General Anbei's new injury was fine after a few days of recovery, but it caused the old injury to relapse, so he went to the palace to find the medicine."
Chu Chengyao nodded: "So that's it. Apart from the envoy and judge, the most trusted imperial physician by my father is Imperial Physician Chen. If there is any trouble, I hope Imperial Physician Chen will inform you."
Imperial Physician Chen said respectfully: "We have followed His Highness many years ago, so naturally we only follow His Highness's orders."
Chu Chengyao's eyes were inquiring, staring at the back of Dr. Chen as he disappeared outside the hospital.
When Dr. Chen returned to the house, he felt tired and tired. He sent his confidants to guard the door and sat quietly in the house alone.
After calming down, he took out the paper ball in his sleeve, unfolded it and glanced at the osmanthus flowers on the paper, then placed the paper on the candle and lit it.
The firelight shone on the tangled and worried face of Dr. Chen, flickering brightly and darkly, just like Dr. Chen's state of mind at the moment.
After the paper was burned, Dr. Chen's thoughts returned to a few months ago:
At that time, just two days after the burial of the old man of the Yue family, everything had calmed down. As soon as he returned to the house, the housekeeper sent a letter, saying that he stuffed it under the door and did not see the sender.
The letter stated that there was evidence that he had perjured himself on the cause of Mr. Yue's illness and participated in the murder. If he did not want the evidence to be known to the Queen Mother, he should act according to the letter next time.
The second time he wrote a letter was when General Jin Wei was poisoned. The letter was placed in his carriage. He told himself not to mention the poison to anyone except the emperor.
