Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hu Jiusheng was reading medical books at the Imperial Hospital.
These books were all left behind by Imperial Physician Fu back then. Imperial Physician Fu was a physician who had spent his life saving lives. He had left behind many precious experiences and did not have the time to take them away because of the sudden incident back then.
His medical books and handwritten notes were all taken by Hu Jiusheng.
Hu Jiusheng was also a talented person. Supported by Imperial Physician Fu’s medical books, his medical skills advanced by leaps and bounds, as he conquered many difficult illnesses, and successfully stabilized himself in the Imperial Hospital.
He believed that this time, he would definitely find a way to treat the Empress Dowager.
“There will definitely be… definitely…’ He hurriedly flipped through the medical books. Suddenly, Imperial Physician Zhang rushed in.
“Treated, cured, cured… cured!”
He stammered.
Hu Jiusheng and the other imperial physicians looked up at him in confusion.
“What’s cured?” Hu Jiusheng asked.
Imperial Physician Zhang’s forehead was covered in bean-sized sweat. He was not tired from running over, but excited from witnessing a miracle.
His chest heaved as he panted. “The Empress Dowager… the Empress Dowager’s ear disease has been cured!”
Everyone looked at him suspiciously.
An imperial physician surnamed Li said, “lmperial Physician Zhang, this joke isn’t funny.”
Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly said, “It’s true! I was in Yongshou Palace just now and heard it with my own ears! The Empress Dowager has earstones and has already recovered her hearing through resetting!”
Hu Jiusheng happened to turn to this page.
Dizziness—ear disease.
Although it did not say the words “earstone”, the symptoms recorded were generally the same as what the Empress Dowager had displayed.
However, this page was not finished. There were only symptoms and no way to deal with it.
Imperial Physician Li did not believe it. He smiled faintly and said, “You just said… it was cured using a reset method? Who reset the Empress Dowager? Was it Imperial Physician Zhang?”
Everyone laughed.
It was not entirely their fault. It was just that Imperial Physician Zhang usually liked to brag and always praised his medical skills. In fact, he was only at the bottom in the Imperial Physician Hospital.
Imperial Physician Zhang was anxious. “It wasn’t me… Sigh! It’s true this time! I didn’t lie to you!”
He did not know how to gain others’ trust. Coincidentally, Imperial Physician Zhu came over from Yongshou Palace.
Just now, one of them had stayed behind to guard the Eternal Longevity Palace.
Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly pulled Imperial Physician Zhu over. “Old
Zhu, tell them, can the Empress Dowager hear you?”
Imperial Physician Zhu nodded. “Ah, yes. Her hearing has recovered. Not only that, but her dizziness has also disappeared. She’s no longer nauseous and vomiting.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the lobby of the Imperial Hospital fell silent.
Imperial Physician Zhu was an honest person. Like a monk, he did not lie.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
“What, what’s going on?” Imperial Physician Li asked in a daze.
Hu Jiusheng also looked at Imperial Physician Zhu in surprise.
Imperial Physician Zhu said, “It’s the girl recommended by the Third Prince.
She cured the Empress Dowager’s ear disease.”
“Is it that medical woman?” Imperial Physician Li asked.
In the Great Zhou, women who practiced medicine were called medical women. They could not be called physicians.
Xiao Zhonghua and the others called Su Xiaoxiao Physician Su more or less because they had some friendship. However, as the medical authority of the Great Zhou, the imperial physicians would never recognize her.
Imperial Physician Zhu said, “Yes, it’s her.”
“How… how is this possible?” Another imperial physician surnamed Wan muttered.
He was not the only one who thought so. All the men in the room felt that it was unbelievable.
Even a large group of legitimate imperial physicians could not find the problem with the Empress Dowager. Yet a little physician girl from the commoners easily cured the Empress Dowager the moment she arrived!
Imperial Physician Zhang said, “It’s true! Even f you don’t believe me, you have to believe Old Zhu. If you don’t even believe Old Zhu’s words, you can go to the Yongshou Palace to take a look yourself!”
Imperial Physician Li asked, “That doctor girl… what’s her background? Chief Physician Hu, is that a doctor of your Benevolence Hall? Did you recommend her to the Third Prince?”
It was not a secret that Hu Hui was close to the Third Prince.
Imperial Physician Wan teased, “Are you stupid? If it was from the Benevolence
Hall, why didn’t he recommend her himself? Must he go through the Third
Prince?”
Hu Jiusheng frowned. His Benevolence Hall had medical women who were mainly in charge of delivering babies and some women’s hidden gynecological illnesses. With his status, it was impossible for him to recommend them to the princes of a country.
In addition, his daughter, Hu Biyun, knew a little about medicine.
“If it’s not from Benevolence Hall, then what’s her background?” Imperial
Physician Li asked for the second time. He was most concerned about this.
Imperial Physician Zhu thought for a moment and said, “1 heard that the people from Yongshou Palace call her Miss Qin in private, but the Third Prince’s attendant calls her Physician Su.”
Everyone was stunned.
Imperial Physician Zhu continued, “Oh, right, she seems to have opened a medical center in the capital. It’s next door to the Benevolence Hall.”
He had also heard about it from the Third Prince’s attendant and the palace maids.
Hu Jiusheng frowned. “You mean the Number One Hall?”
Hu Jiusheng knew about the Number One Hall. His biological brother had managed the Benevolence Hall for many years. This was the first time he had failed at the hands of a peer and had even failed several times.
“What’s the background of the Number One Hall?” Imperial Physician Li wanted to get to the bottom of her background.
Imperial Physician Zhu was not sure about more.
Imperial Physician Hu called a medicine boy to inquire.
It was not a secret. It was not difficult to ask.
The medicine boy said, “Her father is Su Cheng, the biological son of the old Protector Duke. She acknowledged a physician as her master in town. His surname is Fu.”
Fu…
Hu Jiusheng’s heart skipped a beat.
On the other side, Emperor Jing Xuan and the Empress returned to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom after changing their clothes.
“Your Majesty, Physician Su is Jingning’s classmate. If she can’t treat Mother’s illness, I hope Your Majesty can be lenient to her on account of her young age.”
The Empress had never asked for anything from Emperor Jing Xuan. If not for Princess Jingning begging her, the Empress would not have asked.
Speaking of which, Princess Jingning followed the Empress’s personality and did not like to beg.
It was rare for her to beg, so the Empress agreed.
Emperor Jing Xuan said solemnly, “This concerns Mother’s phoenix body. I can’t be lenient just because I want to. If that’s the case, will I have to agree to anyone in the world who wants to treat the Empress Dowager in the future? Moreover, I can’t punish them if they’re not capable of curing? Hmph, for overestimating themselves, they have to pay the price for their actions.” As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jing Xuan paused.
The Empress Dowager, who was originally tortured by the illness, was sitting quietly on the phoenix bed, with Princess Jingning carefully serving dinner.
It was a bowl of red date barley porridge. The red dates were picked out, leaving a hint of sweetness in the porridge.
A little fat girl sat at the side and was searching for something in the medicine box.
The palace servants felt as if they had been pardoned. There was no longer any fear on their faces.
Emperor Jing Xuan suddenly felt his face hurt!
