Doctor Zhao opened his mouth, and all the doctors looked at me and looked at you, but they didn't say anything.
There are more than ten imperial doctors in the Taiyuan Hospital. Chief Zhang, who is in charge of the Taiyuan Hospital, is already old and will retire in a year or two. The next chief physician is none other than Dr. Zhao.
Imperial Physician Zhao won the favor of the Holy Emperor by virtue of his contribution to medicine. Empress Yu also regarded Imperial Physician Zhao highly. Whenever the empress felt unwell, she would be the first to call Imperial Physician Zhao for treatment.
As an imperial physician, your status depends not only on your medical skills, but more importantly, your holy family.
Imperial Physician Zhao’s medical skills are not the best, but he has a strong connection with the Holy Family and is unique. Therefore, Imperial Physician Zhao’s prestige in the Imperial Hospital is growing, and his words carry considerable weight.
"What Imperial Physician Zhao said makes sense." After a while, an imperial physician agreed.
Other imperial doctors also agreed: "The Queen Mother is bedridden, and her mind is not clear. Mild conditioning prescriptions have little effect. Prolonged delay will be more detrimental to the Queen Mother's illness."
"You have to let your Majesty speak first."
"That's right. Let's discuss how to prescribe the medicine first..."
A group of imperial doctors quickly reached a consensus and began to discuss the prescription in a low voice.
…
"Wei Chen has met the Queen."
Two hours later, Imperial Physician Zhao entered the Jiaofang Hall and respectfully saluted Queen Yu.
Queen Yu glanced at her and said calmly: "I'll be fine without any courtesy."
After Doctor Zhao thanked him, he stood up and tied his hands.
Queen Yu asked calmly: "What is the result of your consultation? Has the medicine been prescribed?"
Dr. Zhao responded respectfully: "I have already written a prescription for the medicine. The Queen Mother is now in a critical condition and needs to be treated with strong medicine. If the medicine is effective, within ten days, the Queen Mother will be clear-headed and able to speak."
Empress Yu gave Dr. Zhao a meaningful look: "Use strong medicine, the effect will be faster. However, you can't just use strong medicine, which will damage the root and damage the longevity. The emperor is the most filial, if the mother is not even half-hearted."
If it's not right, the emperor will definitely be very sad."
These words sound ordinary, but when you taste them carefully, they are shocking.
Doctor Zhao responded submissively, but cold sweat broke out on his palms.
Empress Dowager Li is old and frail. How can she use strong medicine without harming her body and longevity?
It can be effective in the short term, but over time, once you counterattack, you will probably die soon...
Empress Yu had previously ordered someone to send him a message secretly, suggesting that he use strong medicine to treat Empress Dowager Li. Today he came here specifically to report, also wanting to test Empress Yu's intentions again.
Now, he has it completely clear.
Queen Yu's voice sounded again: "Mr. Zhang is nearly sixty years old and has reached the age of retirement. The Taiyuan Hospital needs a shrewd and capable envoy with excellent medical skills. I have mentioned this matter to the emperor, and I plan to let you do it.
Become the next envoy. The emperor has agreed."
Imperial Doctor Zhao's whole body was shocked, ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately knelt down to thank the Queen: "The Queen is so kind to me, I am deeply grateful and grateful. I will do my best in the future and listen to the Queen."
He had secretly surrendered to Empress Yu for several years. Empress Yu had never treated him badly. She supported him in everything, including gold, silver and mundane things.
His medical skills are good, but not the best. There are many doctors with higher qualifications than him in Tai Hospital. If it weren't for Empress Yu's support, how could the position of hospital envoy fall to him?
That’s it! Let’s fight this time!
Ambitious people are the easiest to conquer.
Empress Yu glanced at Imperial Physician Zhao and said, "It will be enough if you try your best to cure your mother."
Imperial Doctor Zhao understood the situation, responded, and then resigned.
…
After Imperial Physician Zhao left, Empress Yu returned to her dormitory alone.
In the past few years, Emperor Jianwen mostly stayed in Jiaofang Hall. However, he always slept with Lianxiang. At first, Emperor Jianwen wanted to get close to Queen Yu from time to time. As time went by, this desire completely faded away.
In the past year, Emperor Jianwen had almost never set foot in this dormitory. When the emperor and the empress met and talked, they mostly stayed in the main hall.
Queen Yu didn't pay attention either.
As long as Emperor Jianwen's people stay in Jiaofang Hall, she can firmly hold the power of the harem.
The most intoxicating thing in the world is power. With power in hand, you can make people crawl at your feet. You can calmly control people in the palm of your hand.
The once arrogant Empress Dowager Li finally fell at her feet.
Thinking of Empress Dowager Li who was unable to move or speak, Empress Yu felt a strong sense of pleasure in her heart, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
"Your Majesty," Zhilan quietly moved into the bedroom: "It's getting late, I will serve you to help your Majesty go to bed."
In the past few years, Zhi Lan has surpassed Yu Qiao and become the number one confidant around Empress Yu. Empress Yu will only hand over some errands to Zhi Lan.
Queen Yu hummed casually.
Zhi Lan gave the order, and several maids filed in holding warm towels and other items. After working for about half an hour, they left one by one.
Empress Yu, who was wearing Chinese clothes, sat on the bed and lowered her voice and asked Zhilan: "What medicine has the emperor been taking recently?"
The matter of Emperor Jianwen secretly taking medicine has always been very secretive, and only a few people knew about it. Apart from Eunuch Lu and Imperial Doctor Zhao, the only one who knew about it was Lianxiang. Even Empress Dowager Li and Empress Yu knew about it...
At least, Emperor Jianwen always thought so.
The fact is that Imperial Physician Zhao is a person of Empress Yu, and Lian Xiang is a person of Empress Yu. Even Eunuch Lu, who was loyal to Emperor Jianwen, would quietly reveal information to Zhilan from time to time.
"I'm taking Dragon Tiger Pill." Zhilan replied softly: "I only took two pills before, but now I've started taking four pills every day."
At first, he took Shenxian Pills. Shenxian Pills did not harm the body, and the effect was naturally not violent. Emperor Jianwen took it for a year, but felt that he was unable to do what he wanted, so he began to find Taoist priests to refine elixirs in the palace.
The Dragon Tiger Pill trained by the Taoist priests is very effective, but it will inevitably cause some damage to the dragon body. It cannot be seen after a short period of time, but long-term use gradually empties Emperor Jianwen's dragon body.
Take four pills a day?
Falling down will happen sooner or later. It just depends on how long Emperor Jianwen can hold on.
A sneer flashed in Queen Yu's eyes, and her voice was light: "Adjust Lianxiang's monthly fee again."
Lianxiang's life was in Empress Yu's hands, and she naturally "did her best" in serving Emperor Jianwen.
Empress Yu was not stingy either, and the food and clothing she provided to Lianxiang was of the highest quality. If she adjusted it a bit further, she would be almost the same as Concubine Li and others.
Zhilan responded softly.
Her father and brother were in charge of the farm for Empress Yu. Although they had no official positions, they were more majestic than third- and fourth-rank officials when they went out. The declining family status had been completely restored in the past few years.
She was full of gratitude to Queen Yu. Not to mention coaxing Eunuch Lu, she was also willing to let her go up the knife mountain and into the frying pan.
Queen Yu then ordered: "Pick some of the best albizia incense from my palace's warehouse and send it to Lianxiang."
