Song Yi

Chapter 265
The Empress Dowager reminded again: "Remember, the emperor's illness must not be leaked to the outside world. Whoever asks, just say that the emperor is in good health, and only passed out when he was in a hurry."

"I understand." Du Wenhao asked cautiously: "The matter of Chen Meiren's flirting with foxes..., don't you want to talk about it?"

"The emperor's current body, and the way he treated the fox just now, do you think this is the right time to talk about it?"

"Yes, it's not very suitable. It's just that if you procrastinate like this, you're afraid that something will happen to you if you have long nights and dreams."

"The Ai family knows it well, you just need to treat the emperor's illness. The Ai family is gone!"

"Yes, I respectfully send off the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager staggered down the jade steps, and Eunuch Jiao and others who were waiting in the distance hurried up to meet her and helped her walk slowly.

Du Wenhao returned to the door and listened attentively. Chen Meiren's crying and Song Shenzong's soft comforting voice could be faintly heard in the room.Not daring to push the door, he went to the railing and waited.

Wei Zhan came up to him with a smile, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Master Du, you said, the emperor's illness...? Hehe, this, a humble job with little knowledge, why..., this..., hehehe."

Du Wenhao turned around with a smile, looked at him, and said in a low voice: "My lord Wei wants to say that the emperor is not sick at all, why should I say that he is sick, right?"

Wei Zhan's expression was quite awkward, and he smiled even more cheerfully, and said in a low voice: "How can a humble professional medical skill compare with an adult, but the humble professional is a little curious and wants to learn more, so I take the liberty to ask this question."

It turned out that Wei Zhan examined the emperor and found that the emperor's pulse was stable and there was no sign of a fatal syndrome, but he was always ignorant of personnel and affairs, and he couldn't wake up when he called.Frightened, dripping with cold sweat, fortunately Du Wenhao came and was able to get away, unexpectedly Du Wenhao said something surprising, saying that the emperor is suffering from phlegm syndrome.And Wei Zhan didn't see any signs of phlegm in the emperor at all, but Du Wenhao was the boss and the empress dowager's celebrity, he didn't dare to contradict openly, he kept being a gourd until now, and it was true Unable to bear the doubts in his heart, he asked Du Wenhao cautiously.

Didn't Du Wenhao know that the emperor didn't have fainting symptoms at all, and he could tell if he was sick by taking a pulse check, but he knew the whole story well--now a large group of court veterans are kneeling down to ask for the abolition of the new law , and the new law is the lifeblood of Song Shenzong, how can it be abolished.

When Song Shenzong was in a daze at the Palace of Qinzheng, he was at a loss as to how to persuade these old ministers, it happened that Chen Meiren's personal maid, Xiaoxin, came to report that the Empress Dowager would be harmful to Chen Meiren. After this news was reported to Song Shenzong through Ning Gonggong Song Shenzong didn't know why the Empress Dowager caught Chen Meiren, but in his mind, no one could replace Chen Meiren. He wanted to help Chen Meiren, but he didn't have the confidence to persuade the Empress Dowager to let her go, so he knew he had to go It didn't work either.

On one side, dozens of court veterans knelt down desperately to remonstrate, and on the other side, the empress dowager wanted to kill her beloved woman. Neither of them could afford to offend, so Song Shenzong had to pretend to be dizzy, and fell on the Qinzheng Hall.

Wei Zhan didn't understand, so naturally he couldn't find a solution, so he didn't understand why Du Wenhao insisted that the emperor was sick when he knew that the emperor was not sick.

Du Wenhao, of course, would not tell Wei Zhan the whole story. He suppressed his smile and said flatly, "Master Wei's medical skills are not bad, but he still needs to hone his skills!"

The meaning of what he said is very clear, you can't recognize the emperor's illness, not because of other reasons, but because of your own lack of ability.He was young and old-fashioned, and he said this to an old man with white beard and hair. It was indeed a bit funny to hear.Wei Zhan naturally didn't dare to laugh. He is the boss, and his medical skills are indeed better than his own. Of course he has the right to say so, and he even claimed it.

Du Wenhao said again: "You go back first, just leave it to me here."

Wei Zhan bowed and agreed, and turned to leave, but Du Wenhao stopped him again: "Master Wei, don't tell outsiders about the situation of the emperor's diagnosis today."

Keeping confidentiality for patients is the basic medical ethics of every doctor. For imperial physicians, this is not only a matter of medical ethics, but also a mandatory requirement of the profession. If these secrets are leaked, the results may be unpredictable.Of course Wei Zhan knew it, and now Du Wenhao emphasized that he was even more cautious, bowing down and saying, "I understand, please rest assured, Mr. Du. I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

Du Wenhao nodded, looking at his receding back, thoughtful.

Dots on the steps are the blood left by the veterans who kowtowed and kowtowed before. Now it has calmed down temporarily, but the conflict may become more and more acute. Now it is kowtow and bleeding, and I am afraid that it will be beheaded and bleeding in the future!

While thinking about it, when the palace door opened, Eunuch Ning poked his head out, saw Du Wenhao, and smiled slightly: "Master Du, the emperor invites you to come in."

Du Wenhao hurriedly stepped into the hall, looked up, and saw that Song Shenzong had gotten up, was sitting by the bed, stroking Chen Meiren's hair with one hand, and Chen Meiren was curled up like a cat in love with the owner At his feet, he was looking at himself with some complacency.

Du Wenhao rushed forward, bowed and said: "My humble minister pays homage to the emperor."

Originally, Du Wenhao was going to kowtow, but when Chen Meiren was with the emperor, kowtowing to the emperor himself became kowtowing to her, which is not acceptable.

At this moment, Song Shenzong was in a good mood, he didn't care about this, and waved: "Du Aiqing doesn't need to be polite. Give me a seat!"

Eunuch Ning hurriedly brought a stool, and Du Wenhao sat down sideways with his hips tilted.Cautiously asked: "How is the emperor feeling?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. I just passed out because of my dizziness just now." Song Shenzong stared at Du Wenhao and said slowly, "Du Aiqing, what's wrong with my illness?"

Du Wenhao leaned back and said: "The emperor's illness is phlegm turbidity and internal obstruction, which leads to coma. This syndrome is caused by the emperor's overwork and illness, which leads to serious injury of temper and cohesion of dampness and turbidity. Earlier, when the empress dowager asked about it, I have already told the truth. Yes, the Empress Dowager has ordered that this humble official be solely responsible for treating the emperor's illness."

Song Shenzong stared at Du Wenhao for a moment, and then smiled: "Du Aiqing's medical skills are really good! Good! Very good!" He beckoned him to sit down, stroked Chen Meiren's hair, and asked: "By the way, the former doctor The Empress Dowager brought you to find Chen Meiren, why?"

Du Wenhao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought that Meiren Chen definitely had a pillow affair with the emperor just now. Fortunately, Meiren Chen had been using excuses to delay time by eating. Du Wenhao calmed down a little, leaned back and said, "Reporting to the emperor, when I was treating the empress, I accidentally learned that the empress has a beauty medicine that can keep her youthful. The empress has been taking it for many years, and it is said that the effect is remarkable. Later, when Wei Chen was treating the Empress Dowager, he casually mentioned this matter. The Empress Dowager was very happy, and asked the Empress to ask for some, saying that it would be given to other empresses in the palace, so that they would not grow old. It will also be able to serve the emperor well. The empress dowager took us to deliver medicine earlier."

Chen Meiren said softly: "Your Majesty, my concubines are young and don't need to take beauty-retaining medicines. These medicines are extremely expensive, so let's leave them to other concubines."

Song Shenzong nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Chen Meiren's delicate face: "Little baby just knows how to love others. However, since the empress's medicine is effective, the empress dowager is also kind, you Just accept it, otherwise, it would be bad to make the Empress Dowager unhappy, what her old man hates most is that others will not be favored by her."

Chen Meiren twisted her body: "Your Majesty, I also think about it, but I have always been taking medicine for stomach cold, and I heard that these two medicines are mutually beneficial, and taking it will hurt the body! The Empress Dowager gave Chenqie Xiangxiang Pills, but Chenqie didn’t know that they would be incompatible. After taking it, she immediately felt nauseated and vomited. It took a few days for her to recover. Only then did she know that the Chenqie’s Stomach Cold Syndrome was incompatible. No, I can't take it. However, since it is the medicine given by the Empress Dowager, even if it is against each other, the concubine still has to take it. I can't disappoint the Empress Dowager's wishes."

Chen Meiren knew that the more pitifully she talked about this kind of thing, the more she could win the emperor's sympathy and support.

Sure enough, Song Shenzong frowned and said: "Since it is compatible with your illness, then tell the Empress Dowager, she is a sensible person, as long as she speaks clearly, she won't have any ideas."

Chen Meiren said pitifully: "Chenqie..., Chenqie dare not say..."

"You! What a coward! All right, hurry up and talk to the Empress Dowager tomorrow!"

Chen Meiren was overjoyed, got up on her knees, and gave a blessed salute: "My concubine thanks the emperor!"

"Hmm." Song Shenzong glanced at Du Wenhao, withdrew his smile slightly, and said to Chen Meiren, "In addition, I would like to remind you, be patient in everything in the harem, don't compete with others, especially obey the empress dowager And the empress dowager's decree, don't make the two of them unhappy. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you!"

"Yes, my concubine remembers the emperor's teachings."

Seeing the emperor's eyes, Du Wenhao's heart skipped a beat, why did he tell Chen Meiren these things in front of his own face?Turning his eyes, he immediately understood that he was the person recommended by the Empress Dowager, and she was a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager wanted to punish Chen Meiren, Song Shenzong couldn't possibly not know, he didn't understand what Chen Meiren did , but for the woman I love, I always try to protect her, and now I am teaching Chen Meiren in front of my face, obviously to let myself be a microphone, and tell the empress dowager about it, saying that the emperor has already taught her a lesson , let the empress dowager let her go.

And this Chen Meiren also agreed very sincerely, without making any distinctions, the two sang together, I don't know if they discussed it just now, anyway, one thing is very clear, the emperor is Chen Meiren's umbrella, if you want to touch her, you have to Weigh it first.

Song Shenzong beckoned Chen Meiren to sit by his lap, changed his smiling face, and said to Du Wenhao: "Du Aiqing, this time you saved me, how do you want me to reward you?"

Du Wenhao hurriedly bowed and said: "As an imperial physician, it is my duty to serve the emperor, I dare not offer rewards."

"That won't work. Of course you should be rewarded for doing a good job as an imperial physician." Song Shenzong looked down at Chen Meiren: "Baby, tell me, what should we reward him for?"

Chen Meiren raised her pink face and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Your Majesty, last time Lord Du saved the little prince's life, and he owed his sister a reward. At that time, he told the Ninth Prince to accept it." His sister is the concubine, so let's do this first, right? Let's cash in the previous reward first."

"Well, what the beauty said is right, you have to do things one by one, and this reward has to be done one by one..."

Du Wenhao saw the smug smile on the corner of Chen Meiren's mouth, and felt a chill in his heart. The kindness that Xue Fei'er had treated him when he crossed over quickly flashed in his mind. Yanran's cute appearance, thinking of her resentful eyes, can't help but feel blood rushing, and remembering that this beauty is going to become someone else's wife, I feel a pang of sadness in my heart, only then realize that Xue Fei'er has actually been deeply rooted in my heart .

Thinking of this, an uncontrollable thought rushed to the top of his head - I want to marry her myself, and I can't let her become someone else's bride!
This is the last chance, once the emperor orders the marriage, it will be over!

Du Wenhao lifted his robe, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, my humble minister, my humble minister has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, please forgive me!"

Song Shenzong frowned slightly: "Why did you lie to me?"

"That day I reported to the emperor that my sister, Xue Fei'er, was just my sister whom I worshiped. In fact, this minister and Xue Fei'er... have long been in love with each other. That day she resolutely refused to marry because of her love for this minister. Weichen was originally a doctor of Ling, who was penniless by bandits and was living in Dongda County. It was Xue Feier who helped me out and took me in, and helped me find a place to live. No matter the wind and rain, she was always by my side. Later, out of desperation, the whole family moved to Kyoto. In order to avoid public opinion, the two of us became brothers and sisters. Although we are brothers and sisters, we have long been in love with each other, but we have not been able to express our love for some reason. The emperor discussed this matter that day. The humble minister did not dare to speak out, but only talked about the matter of sworn worship, and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, so I ask the emperor to punish him."

Song Shenzong laughed loudly: "Don't tell me if I don't force you? Hehe, the two of you were flirting with each other that day, and I already saw that there was something tricky in it, so I didn't promise marriage that day. This kind of love between a man and a woman is just a thing of the past. How can you be sure about the unspeakable things, you didn't tell me that day, you must not have the approval of Fei'er's parents, and you haven't even proposed marriage, so it's hard to say, it's not bullying. Forget it, since you Today, I made it clear that I am not a person who steals people's favor? What's more, you are my important minister, and I only hope that you are the best, so how can you do something that spoils the scenery? Hahaha"

Du Wenhao was overjoyed and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Okay, get up, sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Du Wenhao got up on his knees, and continued to sit down with his buttocks tilted. After saying these words, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. She lost her tenderness towards Xue Feier.

Chen Meiren didn't expect Du Wenhao to have such a move, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled all over her face: "Oh! Mrs. Du did a good job of hiding it, and she didn't say it until it came to this point. If it was a few days later, the employment would be off , the door has passed, and then I know that others will point at my back and scold me for tearing apart a pair of mandarin ducks!"

Du Wenhao cupped his hands with a half-smile and said, "I'm guilty, please punish me!"

"Okay! This Palace will punish you to get drunk at the wedding banquet with Miss Fei'er, and you will not be allowed to enter the bridal chamber!"

Song Shenzong laughed loudly again: "Beauty, your idea is really wicked. The night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber and the time of being named on the gold list are happy things in life. Wouldn't it be a disappointment to spend it drunk? It's not benevolent for Miss Fei'er to stand by the red candle withered."

"What the emperor said is true, but Mr. Du deceived me and made me almost become a villain. This matter can't just end like this! Your majesty, you should have a bowl of water and let your concubine feel this way!"

"Okay, you should be punished! Du Aiqing, tell yourself, what are you punished for? How about venting your anger on my little beauty?"

Du Wenhao cursed inwardly, "Your grandma, you just want to separate Fei'er and me, and even pretended that I lied to you!"Depend on!What is the penalty?Punish me to slap you stinky bitch twice, I will definitely be happy!
He kept feeling ruthless in his stomach, but his face was full of embarrassment. After thinking for a while, he cupped his hands and said, "This minister lied to the empress, and he is willing to be punished, so I will punish the minister on top of the wedding celebration. Let the empress drink three cups. It's okay, the three cups are not too drunk to enter the bridal chamber."

"No, no!" Meiren Chen waved her hands again and again, "The emperor said that you can't be drunk, if you pass out after three drinks, wouldn't it be a big sin for me?" Meiren Chen tilted her head and winked with a pair of seductive eyes Blinking, suddenly clapping his hands and laughing: "How about this, I can't think of how to punish you for a while, so I will let you owe me a punishment, and I will punish you when I think about it, how about it?"

Du Wenhao was taken aback, what bad idea did your grandma come up with?Let Lao Tzu owe you a fine?Then in the future, if you want me to hang myself and wipe my neck, I have to do the same?

Before he objected, Chen Meiren had already giggled and said, "Don't worry, I won't punish you too severely, I won't make you do bad things or things that violate the conscience of heaven and earth, and I won't even let you do things that are degrading to gentlemen." thing, is that okay?"

Song Shenzong smiled and said, "That's very good, Mr. Du, what do you think?"

Du Wenhao smiled wryly, thinking that you have already said everything in words, can I say bad things?Now you have to agree if you don't agree.Fortunately, she had already mentioned the limitation of punishment in front of the emperor, and the emperor would not let her do anything that was not good for him, but just made her smile.Having said that, he kept his hand in the end, and replied vaguely: "Yes! I accept the punishment."

Song Shenzong smiled: "Du Aiqing, since you are in love with Miss Fei'er, you should propose marriage to her parents, and you can't waste time like this. I still owe her a reward, how about this, after she passes through the door, I canonize her as the Mrs. Sixth Grade."

Du Wenhao is now at the fifth rank, and his wife Pang Yuqin has also been canonized as the wife of the fifth rank. Xue Feier is a concubine after passing through the door. Naturally, her rank is lower than that of her original wife, so she can be conferred as the sixth rank wife.In ancient times, conferring wives and sons was generally only conferred on the original spouse, and few concubines were conferred. Song Shenzong did this, which can be regarded as a great gift.

Du Wenhao hurriedly got up and thanked Xue Feier.

Song Shenzong patted Chen Meiren, and said softly: "You step back first, I have something to say to Du Aiqing."

Chen Meiren agreed, got up and backed out.

Song Shenzong got up and walked to the window, looked at the sunset outside the window, and said slowly: "You are very good! You already know that I am pretending to be sick, and you can make up such a set of decent words to cover me up. He knows how to adapt to changing circumstances. The old minister knelt down and the empress dowager wanted to punish Chen Meiren, so these two things were resolved, and I am very satisfied."

Du Wenhao bowed and said: "The emperor is taking care of everything every day, and the ministers should do their best to think about the emperor and share his worries."

"En!" Song Shenzong nodded, smiled, coughed lightly, and said: Du Aiqing stepped forward to listen to the letter! "

Du Wenhao was overjoyed, his official career has been really prosperous these few days, he was just promoted from the sixth-rank imperial hospital to the fifth-rank Forbidden Army Palace Front Siwu Dezuo Qiwei, and now he is going to be promoted again, he was very happy, he stepped forward to lift his robe and knelt down.

"I entitle you to be a doctor in front of the imperial court, and your original wife, Pang Shi, to be the fifth-rank wife. From now on, I will go to the court to discuss affairs, travel and patrol, and you will accompany the doctor. You can resign from the errand ordered by the imperial hospital and concentrate on it." Follow me as a doctor."

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

The imperial servant doctor is a fifth-rank official, and an official is a real job, and those with real power are the emperor's full-time imperial physicians.There is a special team of imperial doctors beside the emperor, and the doctor in charge is the captain. As long as it is for the emperor's medical treatment needs, he has considerable disposal and scheduling power.

After thanking the emperor for his kindness, Du Wenhao was still somewhat uneasy. Although it was an honor to serve the Holy Doctor, it was also a heavy responsibility, and being with a king was like a tiger, glory and danger coexisted.Fortunately, I am just a professional imperial physician, as long as there are no mistakes in diagnosis and treatment, and I try my best not to get involved in government affairs, it should not be a big problem.

Then he thought, now that he is the emperor's full-time imperial physician, he can be exempted from serving the harem doctor. This is what Du Wenhao hopes most. He doesn't want to hang out in the harem all the time. , has aroused the emperor's suspicion, I'm afraid my head is not stable, and now there are signs of being involved in the palace battle, it's better to leave as soon as possible.So this time I was transferred to the emperor's full-time doctor and left the harem, very happy.

However, the empress dowager and empress' illnesses have not been cured yet, so I couldn't give up halfway, so I bowed again and said: "Your Majesty, I have been in charge of treating the empress dowager and empress' illnesses. Different, wrong diagnosis and treatment.”

"It doesn't matter, you continue to treat the illnesses of the two of them until they are cured. As for the other concubines in the harem, if they are sick and call you to attend the doctor, as long as you can walk away, you can also go and see."

"The minister obeys the order."

Song Shenzong turned his head to look out the window, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, you can step back."

"Yes!" Du Wenhao hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Speak up if you have anything to say."

"Wei Chen dare not."

"Forgive your innocence."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Du Wenhao took another step forward, stood beside Song Shenzong, and said in a low voice, "The emperor's dragon body...is indeed a little ill. Although there is no serious problem at present, it is better to treat it as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the disease gets bigger, there will be endless troubles."
