imperial psychologist

Chapter 14
The news that Bo Ling was coming to Chengqian Palace in the afternoon spread throughout the inner palace in one noon, and it naturally reached Qu's ears.

It was not yet noon when the news came, the palace lady Baoyuan hurried into the room with her skirt in hand, and bumped into Qu Xiu.

Qu Xiu was about to leave, but after hearing Baoyuan finished what he had heard in the Hall of Zhonghe today, he was so angry that he dropped the teacup on the spot.

"What the hell is going on in my Great Zhou Dynasty! Is there no doctor who can treat diseases?! The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital admitted their love, and even found an 11-year-old doll to treat the imperial concubine! If you don't take your mother's body seriously, you won't be afraid that the thunder from heaven will hurt them!"

Baoyuan's face sank, and she said coldly, "Master Qu, if you want to beat or scold, you have to go outside, preferably in front of the emperor. We servants, even going in and out of this room on weekdays have to mention it Be very careful, lest you startle the empress by accident, you are good, the empress is still resting on the bed, yelling here!"

"You—presumptuous!" Qu Xiu's eyes almost popped out, this is not the first time he was speechless by this precious mandarin duck, "Don't rely on yourself to stay by the Queen Mother's side for a few years , right here I am no older or younger!"

Bao Yuan sneered, "Oh, Mr. Qu has such great authority—"

"...Baoyuan, is that you?"

Qu's voice came from the back room, Baoyuan stopped entangled with Qu Xiu, hummed lightly, opened the curtain and went straight to the back room.

Qu Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart, paced outside, thought twice, and decided to stay here and wait and see.If the two children who came in the afternoon were mediocre people who couldn't figure it out, he would never let these people walk out of the gate of Chengqian Palace safely!

Fortunately, the news came early. By the time Bo Ling actually stepped into the Chengqian Palace, the concubine had already freshened up.She hadn't seen outsiders for many days, and even the imperial physicians only asked them to stay in the outer room for consultation.The girl who heard that she was going to see a doctor for her today also stayed in front of the Queen Mother, so Qu Shi couldn't help being a little distracted.

After combing her hair, she still didn't want to get dressed, but leaned sleepily on the couch in the back room, let the maid hang down the veil, and stared at the zenith blankly by herself.

Over there, as soon as Bo Ling entered the door, he covered his nose and coughed.

The room was filled with a strong herbal smell, mixed with the incense from the palace, which almost made her breathless for a moment.

On the side, Yuan Zhen had already spoken to the eunuch and maid on duty in the palace, "Why don't you open the windows for ventilation? How do you do your errands?"

"Back to Eunuch Yuan, the imperial doctor came this morning to help the imperial concubine empress to vomit, at the moment the empress is weak, if I open the window, I'm afraid that if I catch the wind and cold..."

"The sun is hot outside right now, and the temperature is also high. If we don't open the windows now, it will only get colder at night." Bai Yi said with a frown, "And remove the incense, too."

None of the palace people moved, they just looked at Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen grinned, and looked back with a smile on his face, "What are you looking at me for? These two are little doctors sent by the emperor this morning to treat your mother, and you all listen to them."

The palace servants looked at Bai Yi, and then at Qu Xiu who was standing in the corner and hadn't made a sound yet, his voice trembled slightly, "But this incense was given by Mrs. Qu, did you... also withdraw it?"

"Withdraw." Bai Yi didn't even look at the palace man, but just lowered his eyes and said, "Why, do you have to say it twice before you understand it?"

Although the voice was soft, it gave a chill to the back of the neck.Even Yuan Zhen couldn't help but take another look at Bai Yi—this young man seems to be so powerful.

Qu Xiu's face was slightly annoyed, "Slow down!"

Then Bai Yi looked at Qu Xiu who had been standing in the corner before, and asked softly, "This one again?"

Qu Xiu coughed lightly, and then said, "This official is Qu Xiu, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the only elder brother of the noble concubine."

As soon as these words came out, both Bo Ling and Bai Yi couldn't help but look at him more.

Bai Yi had seen this kind of person a lot in the hospital before, it was nothing more than that he had an official job and was used to bossing around on weekdays, so he opened his mouth in this tone.But the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple is only a fifth rank, which is at the same level as a doctor in Bai Shijun's imperial hospital. What is there to be proud of?
"Excuse me," Bai Yi said coldly, "but if you don't have anyone to wait for, let's go to the yard and wait first. There are too many people, I'm afraid it will disturb your mother's rest."

When Qu Xiu was about to explode, Yuan Zhen's hand had already reached over, "Let's wait and see, there is no rush for a moment."

The leading eunuch of Chengqian Palace originally wanted to wait for Qu Xiu's intention, but seeing that Yuan Zhen's face was no longer in a good mood, he hurriedly called several people around to move the incense burner from the outer room to the yard. The maid pushed the window open—but she didn't dare to close it completely, but left a gap as wide as Mo San's fist.

Qu Xiu had a gloomy face the whole time, but most of the smell in the room dissipated quickly.

The imperial physicians had almost all come in at this time, Wang Jixuan looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, my father-in-law, your majesty... when will you be here?"

"The Sa family doesn't know." Yuan Zhen looked away, and replied slowly with a half-smile, "I've never heard that the emperor has to visit any doctor for diagnosis and treatment."

Knowing that Yuan Zhenji hated what happened in the morning, Wang Jixuan looked at Qin Kang embarrassingly. Mr. Qin understood what Wang Jixuan meant, and said in a low voice, "Then, now is it time to invite Bai Yi and Bai Ling to call on your mother's pulse?" , or should we wait?"

Only then did Yuan Zhen turn his eyes to look at the imperial doctors, and said seriously, "The emperor is still seeing General Shen in the Palace of Qinzheng, and he won't be able to come for a while. Good. Now the emperor can't come here for a while, but the Sajia is the eyes of the Long Live Lord. I will watch every move here for the master. Be cautious in your words and deeds!"

Several imperial physicians quickly answered "yes".

Yuan Zhen ordered people to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and spread them on the small round table in the outer room for Bai Ling and Bai Yi to use. He himself took out a paper book that he carried with him from his pocket, and also brought a Pen, stood still at the side, and said in a low voice, "Then, please."

Bai Ling looked sideways, and said softly to Bai Yi, "I'll ask, you record."

As Bai Yi sat down at the table, Bai Ling had already walked to the curtain that separated the outer room from the inner room. This was an extremely thick red carpet, which was enough to cover up all the movements in the inner room.

Baoyuan, who had been waiting in the room, stepped out at this time, holding a very thin gold thread in her hand, and gave a soft blessing to everyone, "Which doctor is the doctor?"

"I," Bo Ling took a step forward, "but I don't want to cut the pulse. I want to ask the empress some questions."

Seeing that Bai Ling was so young, Bao Yuan was still stunned for a moment, and she lowered her hand holding the gold thread, "If you have any questions, please ask me first, I am familiar with your mother's situation."

Bo Ling tilted his head, "It's better for me to meet your empress face to face."

Baoyuan didn't back down, "It's the empress's usual rule not to see outsiders, and it's hard to break it at once. The girl should ask first. If there's anything I don't know, I'll just go in."
