ugh, she saw a pouch of medicinal herbs.This is exactly the sachet of medicinal fragrance she gave to her brother, Jing.An Xuetang's face changed instantly, her brows furrowed as she searched the area...The emperor looked at Ye Er, then confirmed Chen Imperial Physician's expression of regret. He frowned.
It seems that Ye Er is truly seriously ill, to the point where even the former Imperial Physicians' Chief said there's no cure.
That means Ye Er will really not live past the age of thirty.
As soon as the emperor thought of the Ye family, there was only Ye Er left, the lone seedling. The emperor's deep eyes looked at Ye Er, and gradually some thoughts arose in his heart.
But now is not the time to talk about those things. At this time, others from the Imperial Hospital have also rushed over one after another, imperial physicians coming in succession, but they were still half a quarter of an hour late compared to Dr. Chen. When the emperor looked at them, his eyes clearly showed some displeasure.
But he was too lazy to argue with them today. After the imperial physicians bowed, he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and take a look at Ye Qing."
All the imperial physicians chorused, "Yes."
"Your Majesty."
As soon as the imperial physicians approached him, Ye Er suddenly cried out.
All eyes turned to him, and Ye Er looked at the Emperor with a pleading gaze. "Your Majesty, I know my own condition very well. I truly don't want to go through these examinations again, nor do I want to see them embarrassed and struggling to speak. I certainly don't want to hear them repeatedly remind me about my impending demise."
> "......"
So, is Lord Ye refusing the Emperor's request
Everyone present looked at Ye Er in disbelief, and couldn't help but sigh, "Truly worthy of being the emperor's trusted minister. In today's court, only Lord Ye dares to speak to the emperor like this."
The imperial physicians could only helplessly look at the Emperor. After all, it was the Emperor who had asked them to see Lord Ye. If the Emperor didn't change his mind, they would have no choice but to follow the Emperor's orders and check Lord Ye's pulse.
Fortunately, the emperor remained silent for a moment before finally agreeing to Ye Er's request.
Then, the emperor waved his hand, signaling for all the imperial physicians to step aside.
Ye Er covered her mouth and coughed a few times before slowly saying to the Emperor, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's kindness, I have received it with all my heart and am deeply grateful."
"You needn't be so formal with me."
After that, he looked at the assembled physicians in the room and let out a cold snort. "Alright, since Ye Qing doesn't want you to examine her, you may go back."
All the physicians in unison said, “Yes, Your Majesty. We shall take our leave.”
Just as all the imperial physicians were about to leave, the Emperor said again, "Chen Qing, stay."
"Yes."
Doctor Chen already had a plan in mind. His eyes met Ye Er's for a fleeting moment before he nonchalantly looked away before anyone else noticed.
And those imperial physicians, though, were quite perplexed in their hearts. It seemed as if Chen Taifu had already been in the Imperial Study for some time before they arrived.
How could Mr. Chen be so fast
And what was the emperor's reason for keeping Chen Taifu behind
All the doctors present felt puzzled, but none dared to ask further questions. They could only lower their heads and leave hurriedly.
Once back at the Imperial Hospital, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Some even wiped the cold sweat from their brows.
So urgent, they must really be afraid something happened to the Emperor.
If the Emperor truly had something happen to him, even if they thought they arrived quickly, the Emperor would still be dissatisfied, and today they would inevitably face punishment.
Even in severe cases, people can lose their lives.
"To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger." This saying is perfectly exemplified in the current emperor.
It's a relief that everything turned out to be a false alarm today.
After everyone had calmed down, one man nudged his colleague with his elbow and whispered, “Do you know why the Emperor chose to keep Old Chen”
"Who knows"
How could anyone have guessed this Mr. Chen was always so low-key. If it weren't for the Emperor suddenly mentioning him today, they wouldn't have paid much attention to him at all.
Everyone is just curious as to why Your Majesty would keep Mr. Chen around.
At this time, the man curiously asked again, "Chen Lao's old arms and legs, how did he rush past first And he even got so far ahead of all of us"
The more I think about it, the weirder it gets.
The person being questioned had no idea what was going on. After experiencing such a frightening ordeal, he was simply exhausted and had no energy left to worry about Old Chen.
"So he patted his inquisitive colleague beside him, "Alright, alright, we'll know what we need to know. If you're really curious, just ask Lao Chen when he gets back, isn't that clear Don't guess blindly or gossip now, you know where this place is, right Well, I have to prepare some beauty and health-enhancing medicine for you esteemed guests, so I won't talk to you anymore."
After saying this, the man returned to his own house.
The curious man also knew that the imperial hospital was full of the emperor's people, and he didn't dare to speak his mind for fear that it would reach the emperor's ears. If it did, he would be in big trouble.
So he quickly put his curiosity aside and returned to his own room.
......
And in the Imperial Study, after the Emperor had kept Chen Taifu behind, he instructed him very seriously, "Chen Qing, no matter what method you use, you must take good care of Ye Qing's health. No matter how precious the medicinal herbs are, as long as they can alleviate and treat Ye Qing's illness, you must use them for me."
Dr. Chen repeatedly bowed in agreement.
Ye Er also timely expressed gratitude to the emperor.
After the emperor gave a few instructions, he confirmed with Ye Er that there was no need to keep Chen Imperial Physician here just in case. Only then did he allow Chen Imperial Physician to leave.
After Chen, the imperial physician, had left, the emperor suddenly asked Ye Er a question, "Has my Imperial Medical Bureau selected an official director yet"
Ye Er nodded slightly, "Since my father's passing, the position of Imperial Physician has indeed been vacant."
The emperor nodded slightly and asked again, "What do you think of Dr. Chen, Ye Qing Do you think he is capable of serving as the chief physician"
"...."
Ye Er hesitated for a moment, then adopted a very serious and thoughtful expression. After a pause, instead of answering the emperor's question directly, he asked, "Your Majesty, is it because Mr. Chen was the first to rush over from the Imperial Medical Bureau that you think Dr. Chen is capable of serving as the head of the bureau"
The emperor sighed softly, as if lost in thought. “Back when your father was around, he managed the Imperial Medical Bureau. I never bothered with it; whenever I needed a physician, your father would appear, just like Dr. Chen today, quicker than anyone else. He truly cared about my health. Seeing Dr. Chen like this...I see a reflection of your father in him. They were both…truly devoted to my well-being.”
Ye Er nodded slightly, "My father had also mentioned Doctor Chen to me when he was alive. He said that Doctor Chen was a good doctor and a qualified imperial physician who always put His Majesty first."
The emperor raised an eyebrow. "So Ye Qing also thinks he would be suitable to be the head of the academy"
"As long as Your Majesty sees fit, I also see fit. Any decision of Yours is wise."
This instantly pleased the emperor, who burst into laughter and said, “You, you, only you can speak so well.”
Having said that, the emperor immediately summoned an eunuch to deliver his decree. what's strange. Just the two of them, could they really hide so well We've searched every nook and cranny of this vast city, but we couldn't find a trace of them."She couldn't believe that a renowned...
