Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 361 The Disease of Rot
Before dawn, the sound of cock crowing in the distance was only heard for the first time, Zhao Min opened his eyes and got up.

And Nanny Gu, who had been keeping vigil outside, heard the movement in the house, and quickly opened the door to go in, and saw Zhao Min sitting in front of the dressing table.

"Mommy, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhao Min handed her the dressing box in his hand, his eyes were full of trust in Nanny Gu.

Nanny Gu nodded, rolled up Zhao Min's sleeves, and started to pretend.

I have to admit that Nanny Gu's skills are very superb, and after a while, a seemingly rotten scar appeared on Zhao Min's hand that could be mistaken for the real one.

After drawing one on the arm and one on the leg, Mammy Gu drew a similar scar on Zhao Min's forehead.

Zhao Min looked at herself in the bronze mirror, nodded to Nanny Gu with satisfaction, and then went back to the bed and lay down.

Just waiting for the wave after wave of guests who came today.

Presumably the news of my injury has already spread to the palace, the emperor must be impatient to have people come to test me, I don't know who will come to test me today?
The first person to come to the General's Mansion was the Imperial Physician Shang.

When he saw Zhao Min's skin festering on the bed, he was shocked immediately: "How could this happen?"

"It's all fake." Gu Momo glared at him angrily from the side, what is it, really, what a fuss, I told him long ago that the injury was fake, so how could there be real skin? The situation of festering?

Doctor Shang sneered, he didn't turn his head just now.

Zhao Min on the bed closed his eyes and breathed evenly, as if he was really unconscious.

Zhao Min was also afraid that she would show her flaws, so she took a pill after Mammy Gu finished drawing it for herself, which was similar to a sleeping pill that she made herself.

Of course, she also took the medicine that she finally developed, which can make her pulse look like a dying person.

"Ma'am, the empress is here."

"What?" Jiang Yanran, who was in her yard, immediately stood up after hearing the butler's announcement.

How did this queen come here?Thinking of Zhao Min's injury at the moment, the queen must have come here for this matter.

Jiang Yanran didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed out to greet her: "I didn't know that the Empress Empress would be here, so please forgive me for my mistake."

The queen looked at Jiang Yanran who was kneeling in front of her, a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, but she still maintained her queen's demeanor and raised her hand gently: "What did Mrs. Xiao say, get up."

After Jiang Yanran got up, she wanted to invite the queen to sit in the lobby, but the queen refused straight away: "The emperor heard that Princess Ling was injured by an assassin yesterday, so he specially ordered this palace to come and take a look. I don't know where Princess Ling is now, please invite Xiao Madame lead the way."

After Jiang Yanran heard the queen's words, her face darkened, and she raised her head, only then did she notice that Dr. Xiong was with her.

Putting down her flustered emotions, Jiang Yanran led the queen directly to the courtyard where Zhao Min normally lived.

As soon as she entered the yard, the queen smelled a strong smell of medicine and a faint smell of blood. She couldn't help frowning, picked up the handkerchief in her hand, and covered her nose.

Doctor Shang, who was decocting medicine in the yard, hurried forward when he saw everyone coming: "The old minister sees the empress."

The queen raised her hand, ordered him to get up, and asked with a stern face, "How is Princess Ling's injury? Has the Imperial Physician seriously treated her?"

Imperial Physician Shang lowered his head and did not look into the Queen's eyes: "The old minister must have tried his best. Besides, the old minister is an imperial doctor, so he will treat patients seriously. How could he neglect patients? What the Queen said is really inappropriate."

The queen took a deep breath when she was irritated by what the doctor Shang said.

However, Imperial Physician Shang is the emperor's personal physician after all, and his temperamental queen also knows it.

After thinking about it, with his bad temper, he would not help other people to hide it, so he felt a little relieved at the moment.

"Where is Princess Ling? Take me to see."

Imperial Physician Shang did not directly lead the queen to Zhao Min's room, but said in a mocking tone: "The smell of medicine and blood is very strong in the room, please ask the queen to take care of it."

The queen didn't bother with him, and frowned: "Physician Shang will lead the way."

Doctor Shang took the queen to Zhao Min's room, and as he said, there was a strong smell of medicine and blood as soon as he entered the room, and the queen even smelled a rotten smell in the air.

The queen suppressed the doubts in her heart, and glanced at the doctor Xiong next to her.

"The Emperor is afraid that the Imperial Physician Shang will work hard alone, so he specially ordered me to bring the Imperial Physician Xiong to share the worries of the Imperial Physician. It's not because he doesn't trust the medical skills of the Imperial Physician Shang, but also for the sake of Princess Ling. What do you think? The Imperial Physician Shang."

The empress could clearly see a trace of displeasure on the face of the Imperial Physician Shang, and she was secretly proud.

Seeing Tai Physician Shang showing respect with both hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

A sneer twitched at the corner of the queen's mouth, and she signaled the doctor Xiong beside her to step forward to check on Zhao Min's injury.

Doctor Xiong walked to Zhao Min's bed, and as soon as he walked in, he smelled a rotten smell, immediately frowned, and took Zhao Min's hand from the quilt.

When he saw the wound on Zhao Min's arm, he was shocked immediately, but he suppressed the surprise in his heart and took his pulse seriously.

After a long time, Doctor Xiong took his hand away from Zhao Min's pulse and walked towards the Queen with a very ugly expression on his face.

"How is it?" Looking at the expression on Doctor Xiong's face, for a moment, the queen was not sure what the result would be, so she hurriedly asked.

"Reporting to the queen, Princess Ling's pulse condition is very unstable, like...like..."

Seeing the doctor Xiong hesitating, the queen couldn't help scolding anxiously: "What is it like? What are you hesitating for?"

Doctor Xiong turned his head and said the following words: "It looks like a dying person."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Before the Queen could react, Jiang Yanran on the side got angry first, and went up to rebut Doctor Xiong's words: "Min'er can't be what you said, don't curse her."

"Mrs. Xiao, how could this old man curse his own patients? This old man's diagnosis is indeed true. Moreover, Princess Ling's arm has a rotten appearance. I don't know if it is the effect of the poison."

Hearing this, the queen recalled the rotten smell she smelled when she first came in, and she immediately understood.

"Physician Shang!" The queen asked guilt, "You didn't report what you knew? Why didn't you report the rot on Princess Ling to the emperor yesterday!"

Facing the Queen's aggressive questioning, Imperial Physician Shang did not show any panic: "This is a symptom that just appeared this morning. How did the old minister report it yesterday?"
