I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 37 Asthma Attacks
The Empress Dowager spoke up, there was no reason for those noble ladies not to cater to them, they all praised Qu Lingxu for his superb medical skills, he could be called a national player, Xu Guifei never thought that Qu Lingxu would take such a big deal, she hated her silver teeth Biting tightly, but with her identity, it is not suitable for her to speak at this time, so she just glanced at Fang Zhaoyi who was sitting at the bottom calmly. Although Fang Zhaoyi did not want to touch the Queen Mother at this time, she is Xu The noble concubine cultivated it by herself, and many places rely on the other party's support, so she said slowly: "As we all know, intestinal colic is an incurable disease, and Princess Xinyue can cure it in such a short period of time. Could it be a wrong diagnosis?"

As the saying goes, illnesses go away like silkworms. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to treating the root causes, and any illness must be cured slowly. Such an immediate improvement is not uncommon.

Fang Zhaoyi's words just revealed the confusion in everyone's heart, and for a while, they all fell silent. Qu Lingxu was not surprised that someone would make things difficult, so he just smiled lightly: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. A certain part of the intestine is infected with inflammation, as long as the lesion is removed, it will be fine, the so-called incurable disease is just that most doctors do not know how to remove it." Saying this, it seems that he is afraid that people will not believe him, Qu Lingxu added: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xu'er is very grateful for being able to attend Xu'er's splendens ceremony today. In the future, if your acquaintances suffer from colic, just come to Xu'er. Do your best to treat them and make sure they are safe."

Today, all the dignitaries and family members of the royal family in the capital are here, if you don't advertise at this time, when will you wait?
Qu Lingxu's daring to make such a guarantee is enough to prove that what she said before is not false. No one will live forever without getting sick, especially these pampered nobles. A genius doctor who could save lives at a critical moment, so they all echoed: "Princess Xinyue is very polite."

"Princess Xinyue has both ability and political integrity, and she is actually a role model for girls."

……

Qu Lingxu only smiled gently, without showing any signs of pride and complacency. The Queen Mother saw that she behaved well, without any stage fright, and was even happier in her heart, so she kept chatting with her.

During the banquet, although Qu Lingxu stayed by the Queen Mother's side all the time, she kept paying attention to the movement of the Xu sisters. Seeing Concubine Xu looking at her with resentment when no one was paying attention, Qu Lingxu smiled lightly and picked up a glass of wine , Yingying walked towards the seat where she was.

Concubine Xu Gui was surrounded by several low-ranking concubines, she was so lively that she didn't know what to say, when they saw Qu Lingxu approaching, they bid farewell tactfully and left, leaving only the two of them in the small pavilion.

"Why is my aunt looking at Xu'er like this? Xu'er is really terrified." After a brief confrontation, Qu Lingxu took the initiative to break the silence.

Although Concubine Xu is in her thirties, she has taken good care of herself and her skin is as smooth as a person in her twenties. No wonder she has been favored all these years.

"Are you proud? Princess Xinyue." Concubine Xu almost squeezed the last few words through her teeth.She didn't understand why God would let this lowly girl take advantage of it again and again. If she hadn't saved the stubborn son of Zhongyonghou's family this time, she must have thought that Qu Lingxu had deliberately bribed the patient to earn credit.

There is no one else here, so naturally Qu Lingxu doesn't need to play the role of a niece respecting her elders, she just smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter, I'm not proud of it, but it's better than yours, isn't it, Auntie?"

When talking about the words 'superior', Qu Lingxu deliberately emphasized her tone, she just wanted to stimulate Concubine Xu and give her a chance to attack.

Qu Lingxu's words made Concubine Xu Gui's smooth forehead tinge with blue veins, but it was only for a moment, and then she said with a smile: "It's not important to be tall, the important thing is who can have the last laugh, after all... good luck is not important." I will always stand by your side." Xu Guifei still had a polite smile on her face, but her tone was full of cold hatred.

"Whether good luck will be on my side is not important, the important thing is that I understand... I will die if I do many injustices." While speaking, Qu Lingxu kept observing Concubine Xu Gui's face. He must have known that there is an asthma-inducing medicine hidden in his hairpin, and now is a good time to attack.

But until the end of the short conversation, Concubine Xu Guifei did not show any abnormalities. Just when Qu Lingxu thought that the other party had other plans, she heard a panic scream from behind, "Master! What's wrong with you, master!"

The flower hall where the banquet was held was not big, and the shouts of the court lady immediately attracted everyone's attention. Seeing that the time was right, Mrs. Xu rushed over with her skirt in her hands, and said in a broken voice: "What are you doing in a daze, quickly bring the silk bag Give my sister a few mouthfuls!"

Asthma patients are most afraid of emergencies. To be on the safe side, Dr. Xu specially made a sachet, which is filled with medicines to relieve symptoms, thinking that it is needed in case of emergency. Unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, the silk bag was not found.

Qu Lingxu stood aside and watched leisurely, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Concubine Xu Gui is really a ruthless character, in order to deal with herself, she didn't even leave herself a single retreat?

When Mrs. Xu was looking for the silk bag, the Empress Dowager who came back to her senses also ordered: "Girl Xuer, quickly see if it's okay for the imperial concubine!" Shameless, these obvious efforts still have to be done.

The same is true for Qu Lingxu. She blessed the queen mother and was about to step forward to put on a show when she was pushed hard from behind, followed by a woman's arrogant voice, "You bitch, don't allow that!" Touching Concubine Mu! Concubine Mu was fine before, but she had an asthma attack after talking to you a few words, you must be the one who killed her!"

Qu Lingxu took a closer look and saw that the person who was speaking was a delicate young girl, whose appearance was somewhat similar to that of Concubine Xu. She was wearing a pink Sichuan brocade palace dress, with a cloudy bun, faint willow-leaf curved eyebrows, and a pair of The big eyes are filled with the arrogance of a person who is loved by thousands of people, and there is a shallow dimple on each side of the cheek, which adds a bit of cuteness to the nobility, but the lips are cold and thin, coupled with an angry and fierce expression, It makes people feel mean at first glance.

Presumably this is Concubine Xu's daughter, Princess Qingyu, the third daughter of the Emperor.

Although Princess Qingyu's words are very ugly, but after all, her identity is there. Qu Lingxu bowed her knees and blessed her, and said with a blank expression: "His Royal Highness is noble, so you should be more cautious in your words and deeds. You are so indiscriminately slandering me. Girl, you've dishonored yourself too, haven't you?"

"What are you, little bitch, how dare you teach me a lesson and see if I won't beat you to death!" Princess Qingyu was pampered and brought up by the emperor and Concubine Xu. Not to mention Qu Lingxu, who has robbed her grandfather of many credits.

Seeing that Princess Qingyu's raised slap was about to fall on Qu Lingxu's face, her arm was held tightly by a powerful big hand. Looking back, Aunt Yun looked at her expressionlessly, "Your Highness, please don't be rude in front of the Empress Dowager."

Although Princess Qingyu is aggressive, she is not completely brainless. During this time, the Empress Dowager has treated her much colder than before. Looking at the queen mother with aggrieved face, "Grandmother..."

"Have you had enough trouble?" The Empress Dowager's always dignified and kind face was full of sternness, and she said in a deep voice: "The dignified princess behaves like a shrew in the market, and she doesn't care about the royal face!"

Whenever there is a banquet in the palace, there will always be an imperial physician accompanying him in case of emergencies. At this moment, the imperial physician has already stepped forward to diagnose Xu Guifei, and said solemnly: "The imperial concubine has an asthma attack, but fortunately, it was discovered in time. After Wei Chen prescribes some medicine and drinks it, there will be no serious problems for the time being."

Although Concubine Xu's asthma was not widely publicized, it was not a secret in this harem where no trivial matter could be hidden. Everyone knew it clearly, but it was just an accident.

However, people from the Xu family were naturally not among them. Xu Xi'er wiped away tears and said in confusion: "It's not spring now, and there are no allergens such as catkin pollen. How can my aunt suddenly get sick? Someone must be here. I'm going to kill my aunt!" After saying that, she gave Qu Lingxu a bitter look.

Princess Qingyu originally hated Qu Lingxu very much. When she heard this, she didn't care about the Queen Mother's reprimand, and she said in a hateful voice: "It's you, it must be you! You must have hidden asthma-inducing medicine on your body. Deliberately put the concubine to death!"

"Princess Xinyue County has superb medical skills, and it really doesn't take much effort to prepare some medicines to induce asthma." Fang Zhaoyi muttered as if unintentionally.

Hearing this, the expressions of the people around changed somewhat. Qu Lingxu, a rising star, has attracted too many people's attention recently. In contrast, Xu Miracle Doctor, who was so famous before, was so bleak that he was almost transparent. At this point, in this case, if there is no conflict between the two sides, no one will believe it.

This time, Qu Lingxu ignored Princess Qingyu, but walked up to the Empress Dowager, and knelt down, "My servant absolutely did not harm the Imperial Concubine, I beg the Empress Dowager to uphold justice."

The Queen Mother understands that Qu Lingxu hates the Xu sisters, and even more understands that with Qu Lingxu's mind, she will never use such clumsy means to harm Concubine Xu. After deliberating, she said in a concentrated voice: "Girl, this matter is very important, and you are indeed the last person the imperial concubine came into contact with before she fell ill. In order not to make you feel wronged and humiliated, I'm afraid I have to investigate."

Why didn't Qu Lingxu understand what the queen mother meant, kowtowed his head immediately, and said seriously: "My daughter is humble, everything I have now is a gift from the queen mother and the emperor, why did she ever say that she was humiliated, the mother just checks it out."

For the noble daughters of the aristocratic family, the most important thing is reputation. If it were any other woman, she would have hanged herself after hearing that she would be searched. Therefore, Qu Lingxu's neither humble nor overbearing made many noble ladies' eyes flash. With admiration, those who have sons in the family can't help but think about it, only such a woman is worthy of being the mistress of a house.
