Although Chen Yuchen was a concubine, he was gentle and filial, and was quite favored in the Hou family.
He went to see his grandmother who was lying in bed. Seeing her skinny and skinny appearance, he felt very uncomfortable.
Because his grandmother loves him the most.
After thinking for a while, he finally went to Marquis Pingyuan and told him everything about meeting Little Sweet Bean and improving his sleep.
Finally, he said: "Father, my grandmother is so seriously ill. Please go and ask Princess Shenji to treat her!"
Although Marquis Pingyuan is a wallflower, he is also a filial man.
Marquis Pingyuan also heard a lot about ghost doctors during this period.
At first, he didn't quite believe that the ghost doctor was such a young woman, but Qi Jianlan's illness was improving as everyone could see, so he couldn't help but not believe it.
Not to mention that in the past few days, people throughout Zicheng have been spreading rumors that the ghost doctor is the beautiful woman Qi Jianlan brought into the palace.
There are even rumors that the ghost doctor can revive the dead, leaving flesh and bones white.
Marquis Pingyuan thought for a while and decided to find a suitable opportunity to ask Qi Jianlan to let the ghost doctor treat his mother.
After he entered the palace and went to court, he went to the royal study room to wait, wanting to talk to Qi Jianlan about medical treatment.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the imperial study room, more than a dozen ministers of the court and central government gathered there.
He thought something big had happened, but upon further inquiry, he found out that all these ministers were here to ask the ghost doctor to treat him.
Only then did he remember that these ministers had family members who were seriously ill. Some were suffering from chronic diseases, some were semi-paralyzed, and some had suffered strokes...
Marquis Pingyuan originally just wanted to give it a try, but in this situation, he had to work hard to invite the ghost doctor to his home to treat his mother.
After Qi Jianlan came to court, she originally wanted to discuss political affairs with Zuo Xingzhi, but Qiu Si came over and said, "Princess, there are many ministers outside the imperial study who want to see you."
Qi Jianlan was a little surprised and asked which ministers they were. Several of them actually didn't like her very much and were unwilling to see her in private except when going to court.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Qi Jianlan frowned: "What are these old people doing?"
Zuo Xingzhi said: "It's rare for them to come to our door. If we can get their support, the princess's status will be more stable."
"Given time, I will be able to achieve great honors, and I won't have to be as frustrated as I am now."
"Princess, why don't you call them in and ask them, and wait for an opportunity to subdue them."
Qi Jianlan has always been extremely ambitious, and once a person has power, it is easy to become addicted to it.
Recently, under Tang Miaoxin's treatment, her body has obviously improved and her legs and feet are stronger.
Her improved health further fueled her ambitions.
The title of Princess Shenji can no longer satisfy her ambition. She wants to ascend the throne and become emperor and achieve unparalleled hegemony.
Zuo Xingzhi understands her best.
Qi Jianlan is also troubled by the stubborn ministers in the court, and she will not let go of any opportunity to take them for her own use.
She said softly: "Qiu Si, please invite the British father in first."
The Duke of England was the most vehement opponent of her opposition among the courtiers.
But she couldn't kill him yet, because he was an important minister left by the late emperor and had a high reputation in the court.
After the palace coup, she and Emperor Xuan of Qi were able to survive and return to Zicheng and the UK were indispensable.
Later, she imprisoned Emperor Xuan of Qi in the palace. After she took power, she fell out with the British Duke.
The British Duke has a very direct temperament. When he came in, he directly said that he wanted to ask a ghost doctor to treat his father.
Qi Jianlan's eyes darkened as soon as she heard this.
She smiled and said: "I think the British lady has heard about the temperament of the ghost doctor. She treats people based on her mood."
"It took a lot of effort for me to invite her to come here for treatment. Now I am not sure whether she will agree to treat others. I have to ask her first."
When the British Duke heard this, he thought it was an excuse. Who in Zicheng didn't know that Tang Miaoxin was kidnapped by Qi Jianlan?
But this time, he had something to ask for, so he didn't directly attack her. He only asked her for help again and again, and promised that the Duke's Office would pay a lot of money for Tang Miaoxin to come to her home for medical treatment.
After Qi Jianlan finally sent the British Duke out with a smile, he met several ministers, and all of them came to seek medical treatment.
She patiently used the same words to coax the minister away.
After Qi Jianlan invited the minister who came to seek medical treatment out, her face became very ugly.
Zuo Xingzhi frowned: "They all came to seek medical treatment today. This is not normal."
Qiu Si said from the side: "To return to the princess, since the last time the princess became ill and the hospital was unable to do anything, after Doctor Tang cured your illness, many people in Beijing believed that Doctor Tang was a ghost doctor."
"In the past few days, there have been more and more rumors in Beijing that Doctor Tang is a ghost doctor."
"The ghost doctor has been famous for many years and has a great reputation among the six countries. Moreover, her whereabouts have been elusive before, so it is extremely difficult to hire her."
"Now that her whereabouts are confirmed, there will naturally be many people seeking medical treatment from her. I'm afraid the princess will have to make a decision sooner."
Qiu Si is not only Qi Jianlan's eldest maid, but also her right-hand man, who controls the intelligence network.
When Qi Jianlan heard Tang Miaoxin reveal her identity as a ghost doctor at the city gate that day, she actually didn't take it to heart.
As long as Tang Miao's heart is in Qi, he cannot escape from her grasp.
But it was somewhat beyond her expectation that all these ministers came to her so quickly to ask for Tang Miaoxin's consultation.
During this time, she gained a deeper understanding of Tang Miaoxin's medical skills. All the people in the hospital combined could not compare to Tang Miaoxin.
And Tang Miaoxin is a lively thinker. As long as she is given a chance, she can make waves.
She didn't want to take risks until she completely conquered Tang Miaoxin.
Not to mention, she also wanted to use Tang Miaoxin to lift Ning Guzhou out and obtain the smelting technique.
It's just that so many ministers from the court came to her door. If she refused to agree to them all, those ministers from the court would probably be dissatisfied.
By then, the situation that she had finally stabilized might very well change.
All of this was definitely not what she wanted to see.
For a time, Qi Jianlan, who had always been decisive, was in a dilemma.
Zuo Xingzhi, who knew her best, advised her: "No matter how powerful Tang Miaoxin is, he is just a doctor."
"When she is treating people, if you send someone to keep an eye on her, she won't be able to do anything bad."
Qi Jianlan thought for a while and felt that what Zuo Xingzhi said was feasible.
At this time, she could not fall out with the ministers in the court because of Tang Miaoxin.
She asked the palace maid to invite Tang Miaoxin. After leaving for a while, she came back, but Tang Miaoxin did not come.
Qi Jianlan asked coldly: "Where is Tang Miaoxin?"
The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and said, "Replying to the princess, Doctor Tang said that she was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed, so she can't come to see you for the time being."
Qi Jianlan: "..."
She thought about several possibilities, but she didn't expect that Tang Miaoxin didn't come to see her!
Obviously, when Xiao Tiandou was at Tang Miaoxin's place two days ago, the palace servants came to report that Tang Miaoxin was in full swing.
She said coldly: "Well, then I will go see her in person!"
