Naturally, she also knew that the prescription she left behind was of little use.
And just looking at the current pulse condition of the Dog Emperor, even the familiar prescription she just saw may not be useful, her mood is unstable, and no matter how good the medicine is, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
Of course, even if she had better conditioning methods, she would not use them for the emperor.
After all, she only treats people, not veterinarians.
If possible, she would even take the opportunity to do some tricks - when it comes to dealing with the Dog Emperor, there is nothing to be particular about. As long as it can increase the chance of winning in the future, she doesn't care about the method.
But if you want to manipulate the emperor or the prescription, it is far from that easy.
There were so many imperial doctors in the palace, and if she wanted to hide it from them, she would have to put in a lot of effort - this was her original thought.
But after reading the prescription, she knew she must not act rashly.
If that prescription was not obtained by chance, then there must be an expert beside the emperor...
And if such a person really existed, it would be a small thing for her not to have tampered with the emperor's prescription, but the danger that his grandfather might encounter would be huge.
Just having Akui go there is not enough to reassure her.
Now at this critical moment, she must prepare for the worst in everything...
Xu Ming hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes and looked warily at the curtain that was moving gently in the wind at the car window.
The summer car curtain is made of cool light green gauze. At this time, through the green gauze, you can faintly see a dark shadow approaching.
After roughly seeing what the black shadow was, Xu Mingyi put down his guard.
The black shadow tried to get in through the car window, but failed.
Looking at the big bird that struggled for a while and refused to give up, Xu Mingyi couldn't help but feel that it was really rare for a bird to be so lacking in self-awareness.
The third eye, which had not been able to get in, grumbled and climbed onto the roof of the car. Xu Mingyi guessed that the bird probably did not think that the problem was with him, but that the window was opened too small.
The third eye jumped from the roof of the car to the shaft. The driver had already become accustomed to its presence and continued driving without any worries.
Azhu opened the car curtain and Big Bird got into the car.
"Why are you here? Didn't you go back to see Wu Chao yesterday?"
Xu Mingyi took out a silver bowl kept under the table, poured some water and handed it to Big Bird.
The big bird finished drinking the water, stretched its neck and called in the direction of the car window.
Xu Mingyi's eyes moved, he lifted the car curtain and looked out.
At this time, the carriage had just left the busy city. In front of it was the Weitang River. The riverside was shaded by willow trees. Under the stone bridge, a person and a rider could be faintly seen. The figure was tall and tall, and his body was clean and refreshing jade green.
Even though the weeping willows were half-hidden, Xu Mingyi recognized the person at a glance, and she immediately told the driver: "Stop the car."
The driver didn't notice anything was wrong and calmly and quickly stopped the car.
Xu Mingyi jumped out of the carriage with her skirt in hand and walked briskly towards the bridge.
It was almost noon, the sun was blazing, and no one was seen walking around, except for the chirping of cicadas.
"Why are you here?" Xu Mingyi asked before he could reach the young man, with a slight smile in his clear eyes.
"Today I sent someone to deliver a message to the Duke's Mansion, and I learned that you had entered the palace." Wu Chao said, "I had nothing to do, so I came here to wait."
Nothing happened?
Xu Mingyi was doubtful.
It's obvious that he doesn't trust her.
The young man's next question seemed to be to confirm this: "Why do you recommend yourself to the palace to diagnose the emperor's illness this time?"
"Since we have nothing to do, I went to inquire about some information." Xu Mingyi said, imitating his tone just now.
Wu Chao had no time to feel uncomfortable. He just looked at her and said, "It would be a bit risky for you to enter the palace alone."
Although he was aware of her restless temper, but when he heard that she came into the palace to diagnose the emperor today, his first reaction was to be worried, so he sent a secret message to his aunt, asking her to help him pay more attention to her.
"There is nothing risky." Xu Mingyi's tone was very normal: "If he wants to do something to my Xu family at this time, it doesn't make much difference whether I am in the palace or outside the palace."
However, as she spoke, looking into those eyes, she finally added: "But you do need to be more careful when walking in the palace. Don't worry, I am sensible."
Sensing her keen caution, Wu Chao said "hmm" and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He was wearing a jade-green silk robe today. Xu Mingyi rarely saw him wearing light-colored clothes. At this moment, when he looked at it, he felt that his noble and handsome eyebrows were also made a bit warmer. At this moment, Behind him were green willows and sparkling waves. The scenery was as pleasing to the eye as he was, but he seemed to be even better.
Seeing this, Xu Mingyi couldn't help but think of a kind of man that Jiao Jiao once talked about. Jiao Jiao was afraid that she would have little knowledge, so he didn't use those convoluted descriptions, but simply said to her in a concise and concise manner: Whoever gets involved will be confused.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that Wu Chao must be among this group.
Fortunately, she always looked in the mirror enough, but she didn't get confused to the point of dizziness. She also remembered to ask a serious question: "You asked people to look for me today, but what happened?"
"It's not an urgent matter." Wu Chao tried his best to say in a casual and calm tone to avoid her overthinking: "Yesterday I sent someone back to Ningyang to deliver a letter to my grandfather, and someone else sent a letter to Divine Doctor Qiu, asking him to go there. Dongyuan City takes care of the Duke."
Xu Mingyi was slightly startled when he heard this.
Seeing her expression, Wu Chao said again: "I just thought about it and felt that A Kui has little experience after all, so I want to be more secure."
"I understand." Xu Mingyi came back to his senses and said, "Actually, I was just trying to talk to you about this today. I wanted to ask you about the current residence of Doctor Qiu so that I could write to him to ask for help."
But she didn't expect that he and she would go together and have already taken care of the matter for her.
"And I saw a prescription in the palace today..." Xu Mingyi said: "That prescription was definitely not made by an ordinary doctor. I suspect that there is an expert hiding around the emperor."
As a result, she had to ask Divine Doctor Qiu to rush to her grandfather's side so that she could feel at ease.
Wu Chao was right. No matter how much A Kui memorized medical books, she had too little experience to deal with simpler ones. But if she encountered a really difficult situation, it would still be difficult.
Is there an expert around the emperor?
Wu Chao thought about it and wrote it down.
If this is the case, you must check it out.
The two talked a lot about this matter. Finally, after Xu Mingyi thought about it for a moment, he finally lowered his voice and said: "The other thing is the emperor's current body... I have some doubts that the prince born to Concubine Rong may not be of the emperor's blood. .”
"..." Wu Chao was stunned for a moment.
Did the emperor actually live such a "transparent" life?
This is a saying often used by his second uncle in his family, and he has memorized it subconsciously - like the best jade, it is so green that it is transparent.
but……
Zhao Zhao can even diagnose problems in this area?
For a moment, the young man could not think of any other suitable words to describe him other than being too knowledgeable.
Facing his slightly complicated eyes, Xu Mingyi coughed lightly: "I'm just making random guesses right now. I just want to tell you quietly. Although there is no proof, it's not unnecessary to be extra careful."
Although she didn't care whether the emperor was cheated or not, and she had no intention of watching such excitement, the emperor had no selfish things to do, and she might be able to use them one day.
Wu Chao nodded and said seriously: "If I find anything, I will be the first to tell you."
When it comes to reaching consensus, the two have always been so smooth.
"Wu Chao——"
"Um?"
Xu Mingyi looked at him, with some curiosity in his eyes and an undisguised smile: "I find that you seem to... always be able to guess what I want to do."
In other words, he always knows what she needs most.
Yeah?
Looking at the girl in front of him, Wu Chao's thoughts suddenly became a little uncertain.
He can't always guess...
for example……
The young man wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he saw her pointing to the market on the other side of the river and said: "I used to come to this area of Weitang River often. I remember there were several delicious restaurants there. Although they were not big, their craftsmanship was excellent.
It’s all pretty good——”
After saying that, he turned his head and said to him: "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal as a thank you."
Want to invite him to dinner again?
Being always invited to dinner by little girls, a young man from an aristocratic family would inevitably feel that something was wrong.
But then I thought about it. It was said that the wife of the former crown prince, after falling in love with Prince Xu's beauty, hit him with money...
Although he really doesn't need Zhao Zhao to spend any money, but think about it... giving money to others, or is it one of the ways passed down from Zhao Zhao's family to express love?
"Let's go."
The girl who had already climbed onto the bridge waved to him when she saw that he had not followed.
Under the golden sunlight, the girl's already beautiful facial features became even more radiant and almost scorching.
The young man's expression paused for a moment before he lifted his heels again.
…
The sky is getting dark.
The entire day, Emperor Qingming, who was feeling unwell, was unable to leave the Yangxin Hall.
Although the prince did not dare to approach his father, he could not pretend to be stupid after learning the news that his father was ill. He came to Yangxin Hall to visit and serve him half an hour ago.
It happened that several ministers came to report the matter.
Although the emperor is ill and it is not appropriate to disturb him at this time due to humane considerations, if he is not really anxious, who would want to bear such a reputation?
At first Emperor Qingming could listen calmly.
Later, one thorny and headache problem was thrown out one after another. Just mentioning any one was enough to make the situation worse. Emperor Qingming's mood began to gradually collapse: "...Everything big or small will make me sad."
Come and solve it, don’t you think any of you are useful?”
Seeing the memorial that was smashed to the ground by the emperor, the ministers dared not speak out in anger.
None of them are useful?
They are obviously very useful.
Otherwise, His Majesty would probably have moved away by now.
"What I want is a solution to these troubles -" Looking at the silent ministers, Emperor Qingming tried his best to suppress his anger.
Countermeasures?
When they tried to dissuade Your Majesty from sending troops to Dongwu, Your Majesty didn't listen.
Many things are a series of events, and only when there is an introduction, will there be many subsequent troubles.
To put it bluntly, now we need them to help us find a way to wipe our butts - then we should give them paper!
My hands are empty, what should I use to wipe them with?
Looking at the ministers who were complaining, and the prince who had no sense of presence at the side, he felt very complicated.
Previously, he felt that his father was not worthy of the queen.
Now he felt that his father was not worthy of these ministers.
All in all, there are more and more disrespectful thoughts in my mind...
Faced with one problem after another, no very useful countermeasures could be devised. After the ministers left, Emperor Qingming pressed his hands tightly on his temples, closed his eyes and said, "Sheng'er, please go back too."
"Yes, I will retire..."
After the prince saluted, he slowly withdrew.
His movements were always light and slow. Emperor Qingming, who had his eyes tightly closed, did not even raise his eyes to look. As soon as the prince retreated to the curtain, he heard the sound of breaking jade and porcelain coming from behind.
"A bunch of trash!"
"On weekdays, each one is better than the other when it comes to opposing me... When I really need to use them, I won't be able to come up with any decent ideas!"
"I think they are doing it on purpose. They want to see my joke... These people are the best at adapting to the changing circumstances. Maybe they have secretly chosen a new owner!"
Hearing these harsh words, the prince was so frightened that he held his breath and walked forward step by step without daring to look back.
"Your Majesty, calm down...you must not get angry again because of your headache." Li Ji stepped forward to persuade him.
"None of those quack doctors in the Imperial Medical Office are of any use..." After the attack, Emperor Qingming's headache was obviously getting worse. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let Qiao Bing come over and take my pulse..."
The prince, who vaguely heard half of a person's name, was a little confused.
Father seemed to have mentioned a person named Qiao just now?
But he didn't remember that there was an imperial physician named Qiao in the Imperial Medical Office...
There is naturally a reason why he is so sure. Over the years, he has dealt with the people in the Imperial Medical Office the most. At the highest level, any of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Office had false pretense and took too heavy a dose of medicine.
He has not yet married a wife, so he knows all this.
Emperor Qingming said that name when he was dizzy, and Li Ji subconsciously looked in the direction where the prince left.
The boy's clothes had disappeared outside the hall.
Li Ji then whispered: "I will try to find a way to get people to come over now..."
It is said that prescribing medicines to treat diseases should indeed be done face-to-face. It is always not advisable to just test the prescription.
Emperor Qingming was helped to lie down on the couch.
Two eunuchs were called into the temple to clean up the mess on the ground.
The smashed ornaments needed to be replaced in time, and two quarters of an hour later, palace attendants brought over two red lacquered wooden boxes.
After enough time for a cup of tea, the wooden box was carried out again.
Looking at the lacquered wooden box that seemed to be light and heavy, the eyes of an internal prison guard guarding outside the hall flashed slightly.
At this time, the eunuch in charge came out of the inner hall: "Your Majesty, you can't hear any noise now. Please stay away from me and be careful. Don't make any noise."
The palace people responded "yes" in a low voice.
It was already time to change values, and everyone acted very lightly.
The eunuch left the Yangxin Hall quietly, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Half an hour later, in the inner hall of Yukun Palace, a palace maid whispered in the queen's ear: "Your Majesty, Xiao Chenzi is here, saying that she has something important to report to the Queen in person..."
