[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

Besides, the emperor has never personally seen the ladies who went to Ci'an Palace to pay their respects that day, and now they don't have to go to court and go to work at the end of this year, so they go to the imperial concubine's palace.

After hearing the empress dowager and queen's comments on the ladies, the emperor is also very willing to listen to his own concubine's words.After all, the imperial concubine has a son in her own family, looking at the girls is another way of looking and thinking.

He also asked about the noble concubine, how is Miss Lin.

The noble concubine can stand out in the palace and be favored, not to mention whether she has great wisdom, but she is very accurate in guessing the emperor's mind.

But as far as the noble concubine is concerned, of course she doesn't want the daughter of a high-ranking official to be the concubine of the other princes. She can't wait for everyone except her son to marry a commoner.

So the noble concubine thought about how to answer, and then paved the way for herself to say something that would not offend others: "Since your Majesty asked, the concubine dared to say something. It's just that there is only one relationship in the end. It doesn't look too real. It's okay to say something wrong." some."

Then he praised: "The girl from the Lin family... If my concubine remembers correctly, she is only 13 years old. It's just that she is very talented despite her young age."

Holding a cup of ginseng soup, the emperor smiled and said, "So, do you think she is very good?" He also joked: "It's a pity that our tenth prince is young, otherwise you would praise her like this, and leave her as your daughter-in-law." good."

The imperial concubine sighed in her heart: If only this girl from the Lin family was a few years younger, it would be good to keep her feelings for herself!The Lin family used to be the princes of the Five Dynasties, and there were nobles. The most rare thing is that they still have real power now, and Lin Ruhai is still in charge of financial power.And I heard that he is only an only daughter and has no son, then he will definitely support the only son-in-law with all his heart.

It would be great for a girl from the Lin family to be a daughter-in-law for her precious son, but it would be very wrong to be a daughter-in-law for other princes!

So the imperial concubine changed the subject and said to the emperor: "It doesn't matter if Miss Lin is talented, but from my concubine's point of view, she is a bit too talented and imposing, it's too much."

The imperial concubine is a well-known literate person in the palace, and she can share a poem with the emperor romantically, which is rare among women.

Hearing what she said, although the emperor has never seen her before, he can still think of Lin Ruhai's daughter, who is probably really talented.Probably because Lin Ruhai has no son and can only raise his daughter with his hands.

Thinking of the emperor who was having a headache because of the many sons here, he wished he could give his two children to help teach them.

The noble concubine saw that the emperor's expression was a little unhappy (worried by his son), so she hurriedly made amends carefully: "Your Majesty knows that the ministers and concubines are not ordinary village women outside, and they feel that women's literacy will turn the world upside down, and they are restless. After all, this How can the sacrifices or ceremonies in the palace be knowledgeable, how to cook if you don’t know big characters?”

"But at that time, the empress asked Miss Lin what books she was reading, and she had read all four books and five classics. She was simply a champion girl."

"The princes in the palace are all sons and daughters of dragons and phoenixes. They are naturally proud and temperamental. In the humble opinion of the courtiers and concubines, it is better for the princes and concubines to be more stable and modest. It is not good to be too sharp."

The noble concubine's son hasn't grown up yet, so she doesn't want to bring in some ice-snow and smart girls to be prince concubines.

Prince Teng Lin Ruhai's family has very few children, and the father concentrates on planning for his daughter, so she has to stop her from entering the palace.

The emperor couldn't help sighing when he heard the words: Is it true that the marriage is destined?Uncle Shao's temper, the emperor knows, their family wants someone who is outstanding and handsome, and Zhou Liheng's gentleness and mellowness, the imperial concubine is a good learner, and she has a good temper.

The imperial concubine didn't know what the emperor was sighing here, and she was very upset. Could it be that the emperor was so optimistic about the Lin family girl.

So she simply put her heart on the line, and said the last critical blow: "Your Majesty, the reason why the concubine thinks that the Lin family girl is not suitable for entering the palace is actually for your majesty." She and the girl from the Lin family are sisters of the same clan and have a close relationship. If the girl from the Lin family becomes a concubine, will the imperial doctor Xiao Lin be biased toward her brother-in-law..."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

The emperor thought to himself: I was really dizzy by sister Qi Yang and Uncle Shao Wang.Seeing that both families were thinking about Miss Lin, he felt good about it and joined in the fun.

For a moment, he forgot that Miss Lin was not only Lin Ruhai's only daughter, but also the younger sister who grew up with Lin Jiang. She was the imperial physician he wanted to use!

Seeing the change in the emperor's expression, the noble concubine was finally relieved: so far, the emperor will never let that girl from the Lin family enter the palace as a concubine.

Then I was still watching the excitement in my heart: I don't know if any of the concubines in the harem have set their eyes on Miss Lin for their son, if so, it will be bad luck to ask the emperor!

The emperor will definitely suspect that they want to win over the imperial physician and spy on Sheng Gong's health.

But he didn't expect that there was really a person in the harem who was eyeing Daiyu.

It was Liu Bin, the eldest prince's biological mother who had spoken to Daiyu.

Father-in-law Thrush told Lin Jiang about this.

Ever since the emperor ordered Wei Ren to be in charge of summoning and escorting Lin Jiang, Mr. Thrush had seen Lin Jiang much less often.

When the emperor ordered him to go out on business, he could only make a detour to the Tai Hospital and gossip freely.

And through this New Year's Eve, Lin Jiang finally discovered that there is one disadvantage of working in a hospital, that is, there are no long holidays.

The six ministries can rest from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Every day, one or two people are on duty in the ministry to prepare for major state affairs, and the rest of the people can rest at ease. Even the emperor does not go to court anyway.

But the hospital is too bad, Lin Jiang still enters the palace once every two days, even during the New Year, he still comes in to ask the two majesties for pulse.

This day was the twelfth day of the first lunar month. After Lin Jiang came back from the Dazheng Palace, he still stayed in his office, scribbling hard to copy the inventory of the Imperial Hospital.

But I heard a light cough at the door: "Doctor Xiao Lin."

As soon as she looked up, she became happy: "What a rare visitor, I haven't seen my father-in-law recently!"

Father-in-law Huamei sat down and sighed: "Our family is also incapable of serving His Majesty." Since he didn't have much time, he went straight to the topic: "It's just that our family heard something a while ago, and it has something to do with the Lin family, so we still have to come and tell the imperial doctor Xiaolin Just know."

It was rare for Lin Jiang to see him so solemn, so he hurriedly said, "Please tell me, father-in-law."

Father-in-law Thrush did not mention the fact that Princess Qiyang and King Shao both wanted to choose Miss Lin as his daughter-in-law-after all, the Princess’s Mansion was no longer able to do it, and Prince Shao’s Mansion was still trying to overcome the fate and was taking advantage of the Chinese New Year. The son of the world is divination.

Of course, the most important thing is that these two families are the best marriages in the capital. It is a happy event if they get it, and it is a pity if they don't.

But there is another marriage, if it happens, it will definitely be unlucky.

Father-in-law Thrush had no choice but to remind him, otherwise it would be too meaningless.

He first asked Lin Jiang: "Emperor Doctor Xiaolin has ever seen the First Princess since he entered the palace? Has he personally asked for the pulse of the First Princess?"

Lin Jiang shook his head: "No. My father-in-law knows that the princes are the people I need to avoid the most in this palace. Unless your majesty shows grace, I will never check their pulse. So far, I don't even know which palaces the princes live in. Can’t tell—why does your father-in-law ask this question?”

Father-in-law Thrush drooped his eyebrows: "Then have you read the pulse case of the eldest princess?"

Lin Jiang desperately recalled: She did read the pulse records of the princes at that time, but she mainly focused on the young and unmarried princes. She only looked at the first three married princes.

In my impression, the eldest prince is a healthy young man in his twenties, and his ability to bear children is not bad. He has inherited his father's ability. After seven or eight years of marriage, he now has two sons and three daughters.

As for the eldest concubine, it seems that there is also a pulse case. Lin Jiang just glanced at it. The concubine is still alive, so she put aside her position as the main wife.

It's just that there must be a reason for the father-in-law Huamei to ask this way. Lin Jiang replied based on his broken memories: "The eldest princess... seems to have given birth to two daughters, and the pulse case is a bit thick. I think she is not very healthy? uncertain."

After all, the concubines in the harem have good pulses.Even the higher the status, the thicker the veins.In addition to the regular peace pulse, they have to ask the imperial physician for the slightest disturbance.

Therefore, in addition to their normal work, imperial physicians have a lot of redundant and cumbersome paperwork: after all, they are invited once, and when they come back, they have to carefully summarize and handwrite three pulse records (and write pulse records that adults can't pick wrong), which are used for archiving.

Father-in-law Huamei nodded and said, "Princess Xiaolin also knows that when the first prince and the second prince were both His Majesty or Prince, he appointed a wife for his son. So these two princes and concubines, although they are sister-in-laws, are more powerful than the third prince in terms of background. Concubine is quite a bit."

"Coincidentally, in the year when the emperor came to the throne, the father of the first princess concubine thought that all boats were rising, and he accepted a lot of money when he became the emperor's in-law. There can be any official."

"After this incident broke out, His Majesty was very angry. At that time, the father of the first princess concubine was thrown into the prison of the Criminal Ministry to have her head beheaded. The first prince never pleaded with his father-in-law from the beginning to the end, and the empress empress persuaded him The emperor said, after all, he is the eldest daughter-in-law's biological father, and it is a good year for the emperor to ascend the throne, so it is not easy for life and death to happen, so he was sentenced to exile."

"Because of this matter, the position of the eldest princess in the palace is even more embarrassing, and she also lives in seclusion." Gonggong Thrush thought for a while and said: "But the eldest princess is very kind, she has always been kind to us slaves, I've never heard of any unworthy things, she took good care of the seven or eight concubines in the Great Emperor's womb, so there are two concubines."

The more Lin Jiang heard it, the more he felt it was strange, Mr. Thrush was obviously busy, but why he still came here to talk about the old prince?He also said that it was related to the Lin family.

Could it be that the eldest prince still wants to take her as a concubine?She doesn't need to be anxious about that, the emperor will definitely take a picture of him who doesn't know where to go and where to go.

At this moment, Lin Jiang didn't even think that the eldest prince's mother and son would be eyeing Daiyu. After all, unless the eldest prince became the prince, how could he match the girl of a second-rank official as a concubine?Furthermore, the eldest concubine's official wife status is so low, it is quite embarrassing to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the royal family, and the concubine's room will not give a girl of height.

Seeing that she was puzzled, Eunuch Thrush sighed: Imperial Physician Xiao Lin still doesn't know the cruelty of people in the palace.

So he said directly: "The former eldest prince's biological mother, Liu Concubine, went to see the emperor, and said that since winter, the eldest prince and concubine have become sicker and sicker. It's been a year and he hasn't had a son-in-law yet, and he's clearly the eldest son, but the poor wife is the worst among the brothers."

After a little hesitation, after all, a good person will do it to the end, and revealed all Concubine Liu's words: "I also said that at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that day, she felt sad seeing the other concubines being flattered by boudoir girls."

"I just cry to the emperor that those girls are looking forward to becoming prince concubines, so naturally they sell to the concubines whose sons are not married, and ignore her, the eldest prince's biological mother. Only Miss Lin is not the one who is waiting to be trampled on. A low-level girl, she is also respectful when talking to her, she has a good personality and appearance, and I have a lot of fate with her."

Lin Jiang's face turned blue immediately.

It turned out that this was what Concubine Liu had come up with. She wanted Daiyu to be her son's continuation. How dare she think!

Father-in-law Huamei also finished the last sentence: "Ms. Liu Concubine is still begging the emperor. She is already half a hundred, and her health is not good. She may die someday. If she can see her son get a real son before she dies Beautiful woman, she will die without regret."

If it wasn't for Father-in-law Thrush, Lin Jiang would have immediately said: Since you might die one day, then you should die now, lest you live to do evil and plot others everywhere.

She thought about what Eunuch Thrush had said just now, and was suddenly startled: "Eunuch told me a lot of old things first, instead of telling me what Mrs. Liu Concubine said directly——Does Eunuch think that the eldest princess's health is not that bad? , but..."

Instead, Concubine Liu and the First Prince were greedy for profit and wanted to change to a more helpful daughter-in-law (daughter-in-law), so the First Prince and Concubine had to die!

Eunuch Thrush coughed lightly and interrupted Lin Jiang's words: "Doctor Xiaolin, I remember you chatting with me before, and I think it's very good: You can see through it or not. You can understand the things in the palace by yourself." It's best, but don't say it."

Then he said: "Our family is not an imperial physician after all, and the First Prince's Concubine does have some old problems, so I'm not sure what it is."

"It's just that our family still remembers the first day of the empress dowager's [-]th birthday banquet. The emperor brought all the children and grandchildren to kowtow to the empress dowager. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the emperor, the eldest princess naturally has to be busy. The servant sees that she is fine that day, There is no sickness in the management everywhere, but I don’t know why it has become sick after a year.”

After saying that, he stood up and left: "Physician Xiaolin, our family has been in the palace for many years, and you can afford it. You have dedicated yourself to diagnosis and treatment, and have never neglected me because I am a eunuch. Today's words should not have come from me. I also hope that Doctor Xiaolin will keep it a secret."

Lin Jiang got up to bless her body, and she performed women's rituals, not official rituals: "This matter is vicious. If they really let their mother and son succeed, it will kill my sister for life. Thank you father-in-law for extending your hand. I am really grateful as a sister, and I will never do it again." Leaving out even a little bit of it will make the father-in-law guilty of disclosing the matter before the imperial court. If there is any violation, let this matter be retribution on myself!"

Seeing her sincerity, Mrs. Huamei suddenly felt emotional: "We are in the palace, and we are the people who walk around His Majesty. Others always give three points of face. But it is only three points of face. If one day we really get angry Who will intercede with His Majesty for us if we caused disasters? We can only take care of each other."

After speaking, he laughed at himself: "However, whether it is the imperial physician Xiaolin or Lord Wei, they all rely on their own ability to gain face in front of the emperor, which is different from me, a eunuch's slave."

Lin Jiang shook his head: "Eunuch, you are underestimating yourself. In the heart of the emperor, there are many things that Mr. Wei and I can't know, but you are always by your majesty's side."

After Mrs. Thrush left, Lin Jiang rummaged through the cupboard for a long time, found some old porcelain bowls that were in the house, smashed them on the ground, and then took an old and unwanted medicine hammer, Smashing the pieces of the porcelain bowl into powder relieved him a little.

Then he smashed things and whispered to himself: "There are such vicious men in the world, why don't they get hit by a car when they go out?"

The eighth prince is not motivated on the surface, everyone hates to hide it, but the eldest prince has always had a good reputation, who knows that he is a gentleman on the surface and a villain on the inside.I feel that my wife can't help, and I only gave birth to a daughter, so I just want to let Jiexiang make his wife sick and die, and I'm not even a person anymore.

Lin Jiang couldn't help complaining: This man from the Da Zhou family not only has a serious illness in his head, but he is not very good at heart!Is there no normal prince anymore?

If you want to successfully compete to be the king of a country, even if you are not an upright gentleman, you can't be such a vicious and cruel villain.

Why doesn't the emperor care about it?No matter what, isn't this court going to die.

In fact, where Lin Jiang couldn't see, the emperor was already busy and turned his back on his back - he was busy dealing with his own father, the emperor, how could he have time to manage his sons.

After all, the father above can take his life and the throne, but the sons cannot.

--

When Lin Jiang got off work this day, he couldn't help feeling angry.

Seeing her, Wei Ren was full of displeasure, so he couldn't help asking: "It's because your father is going to sea again, are you unhappy?"

Lin Jiang shook his head, because he couldn't disclose the matter of Humei's father-in-law, so he couldn't suddenly ask about Prince Wei Ren's family affairs, so he could only walk out sullenly.

After returning to the mansion, she did not tell Daiyu about such a mess, but instead told Mother Xia.

Grandma Xia couldn't help panicking.

As a domestic servant of an official, she is naturally terrified when she hears about the royal family. In her eyes, the royal family is no different from heaven and man.I just feel that the Lin family cannot resist an imperial decree.

However, the prince and empress have such character and calculations, wouldn't my daughter be going to jump into the fire pit?

Nanny Xia hurriedly turned around and asked Lin Jiang, "What is the big girl saying? Why don't you go and ask the emperor." After she finished speaking, she slapped herself: "I'm so confused. Since it was a father-in-law who took the risk to hand over Yuqian's words, then the girl must not hurt her, and she must not go to Yuqian to show that she knows about it."

Lin Jiang said to Nanny Xia: "We still have to let uncle know about it. Otherwise, if Concubine Liu's family colludes with people from the Rongguo Mansion, it's really hard to say what to do."

Let Mrs. Wang know, she will probably be satisfied immediately, kick Daiyu into the fire pit, and profit from it by the way.

"It's just that this matter is different from the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet at that time. At that time, the palace knew that there were many ladies entering the palace. We only chose someone to send a letter to uncle. It doesn't matter if we reveal some news. But this time It's a secret, or I'll go back in person before the snow melts on the canal."

Mother Xia can't wait: "Although the waterway to the north is not open, I can take a carriage to the post station to the south, and change boats when the canal is open. How can I wait? Let the master know, Plan your day early!"

Lin Jiang couldn't help asking: "But I don't want my sister to know about this. I'm afraid she will be depressed and worry about something. Why don't mothers think of a way to hide it from my sister and find some other reason to go back?"

Nanny Xia nodded: "Of course, the girl is careful, she can't listen to such nonsense."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a voice from outside the curtain saying: "Sister and Nanny don't need to hide it, I already know." Daiyu opened the curtain and came in, next to Baoshi knelt down.

Daiyu reached out to support the gem: "Sister, don't blame the gem, I will definitely not let her speak."

Lin Jiang smiled wryly: "Who is to blame at this time. We are hiding it from you because we are afraid that you will think too much about sorrow."

When Mother Xia saw Daiyu, she was so distressed that she wanted to shed tears immediately, and she turned angry at Rongguo Mansion: "This is really not a good place. Ever since the girls came here, they haven't had a single day of life. They are all called to this mansion to help you. of."

Daiyu's face turned pale. Thinking about it, what she said just now had a great impact on her. If Lin Jiang suddenly found out that he might be married to such a poisonous snake, he would exchange it for a fake death pill and escape on the spot. heart.

Don't want anything, starting from scratch is better than marrying this kind of stuff!

But Daiyu has a temperament like bamboo. Usually, when the breeze blows by, the bamboo leaves will rustle and sway with the wind. It seems to be a fragile thing, but in fact it is unyielding, facing the frost and snow.

At this moment, she walked in, and first said to Nanny Xia: "Mommy is getting old, there is no need to travel by land and then by water." Then she looked at Lin Jiang: "Sister, third uncle will go south in two days. Have you gone to sea? Going south this way, you can go to Gusu after a short turn, and tell your father about it."

Both Lin Jiang and Madam Xia were speechless: Well, I was so anxious that I even forgot about this.Who could be faster and more appropriate than Lin Changzhou to say it in person.

Daiyu sat down and stared intently at the stove: "Although I have only been to the palace once, I know that there are countless concubines and princes in this palace, and it is extremely muddy water."

"That's why I'm thinking, if my sister knows about this matter, it's the father-in-law Bai in the palace who is upright, and he took the risk to tell her about it because of his sister's favor."

"But Eunuch Bai can see the strangeness of the eldest prince's concubine's illness, and will other people who are at odds with Concubine Liu and the eldest prince also be aware of it—just like in this mansion, if there is any movement of the second wife, the eldest wife Always the first to ask, the first to know."

This is the sensitivity of the enemy to information.

In the palace, it is definitely not Eunuch Bai who cares about the eldest prince, but the other princes!

The eldest prince wanted his concubine to die silently, so that he could marry a concubine who would be a great help to the family, and recommend him to be the crown prince.

Let him figure out all the beautiful things in this world by himself?

Those brothers in the palace just eat rice?Dumbly applauding the eldest prince, waiting to eat the eldest prince's concubine's table?I'm afraid I can't.

The handkerchief in Daiyu's hand was balled up, which showed that she was not at peace.But he still tried to keep his voice steady and said: "Let's not talk about the palace, even if it is an ordinary family, the wife is dead, and the husband still has a year to marry. The Tian family claims to be the most respectful of etiquette. As soon as the first wife passed away, they started recruiting newcomers."

Lin Jiang suddenly came to his senses: "That's why Concubine Liu picked my younger sister. Actually, I also thought about it. Of course, you sat behind her closest among the ladies that day, but she is a person who only rushes for profit, and is not someone who sits. It's unlucky to be close, even if it's unlucky to sit close, there are several girls around her, why are you talking about my sister to the emperor. It must be because you are young!"

It was precisely because Daiyu was still young that she could wait for their mother and son to plan to kill the original concubine, the one-year stick period, and their plan.

Otherwise, as far as these two greedy people are concerned, wouldn't those daughters of ministers who hold military power or who are in Beijing themselves be better than Daiyu?

For example, Wang Qingluan, Wang Ziteng's daughter: Wang Ziteng was born in Beijing, and was born as a general of the four major families.Such a family should be more in line with the eldest prince's road to succession.

But Wang Qingluan is already 14 years old, and the Wang family probably thinks the same thing. After entering the palace this time and being "watched", if there is no order in the palace, they will quickly search for a good family for their daughter.

Who waits for the eldest prince to be a widower for a full year!

So Concubine Liu's mother and son stared at Daiyu, presumably because of her young age.

Daiyu frowned and said: "It's also my mistake. When I entered the palace, I thought I was still young, and seeing Concubine Liu was old, I thought to sit there to avoid trouble, but ended up causing such a thing. "

Lin Jiang hurriedly comforted: "She has such bad thoughts, even if you sit on the edge of the sky, you will be unlucky. Think about it, sister, there were not many young girls back then, and you were the most outstanding among them. Aren't you being watched by her?"

It's not that she sees Daiyu as a superfluous filter, but that among the girls, Daiyu is indeed the best group in terms of personal qualities and family background.

That day, she still followed the path prepared by Lin Ruhai, she didn't hide her sharpness at all, and she showed her talent only when she spoke well.If it weren't for this, Princess Qi Yang would not have specially invited the two of them to her courtyard to entertain them that day, and she also praised Daiyu's appearance in her speech.

Lin Jiang took out the handkerchief that was crumpled into a ball in Daiyu's hand, and persuaded: "As the saying goes, it's a good time, after this incident, my sister will take care of everything smoothly in the future."

"Besides, I still have a method. I will try it next time I enter the palace: as long as Your Majesty agrees that I will see the eldest princess, I will keep her medicine until she is cured." Not to mention that the eldest princess may be seriously ill, it is She is really sick, and she will cure her too!

Instead, Daiyu advised her: "Sister, don't be impulsive, and don't let the emperor suspect that you meddled in the matter of the princes fighting for the heir, let alone implicate the kind-hearted Eunuch Bai."

Lin Jiang nodded: "Don't worry, I will be extra careful."

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Jiang entered the palace again.

When she was taking the emperor's pulse, the father-in-law Thrush "coincidentally" walked back and forth, saying that the eldest prince's concubine was getting worse. The patient was ill and dared not come to pay his respects to the emperor.

That's called being careful, diligent and filial compared to Yao and Shun.

The emperor didn't speak, but just raised his chin lazily, the father-in-law Thrush understood the emperor's meaning just by looking at this raised head, and went out to tell the eldest prince's inner eunuch that the emperor was busy, so just kowtow outside the door.

Lin Jiang didn't say a word the whole time, he just helped his pulse seriously, as if he didn't care about it at all.

Father-in-law Huamei was very relieved to watch: Sure enough, I saw the right person. Imperial physician Xiaolin is not only a good person, but also a smart person who can calm down.

At this time, if there is any abnormality in her, or if she can't restrain herself and show her feet that she knows the eldest prince's intentions, both of them will be in bad luck.

Sometimes, good people who are not smart are more harmful than bad people.

After Lin Jiang helped the pulse, and adjusted the new prescription beside him, the emperor took the elder prince's invitation to An Zhe, which was presented by the father-in-law Thrush. .

The emperor flipped through it a few times, then suddenly sneered, thinking of the wife's illness reported by the eldest prince above: "...It's hard to know, I only forcibly took some porridge yesterday-my eldest daughter-in-law is sick. It's really urgent."

Lin Jiang suddenly had an epiphany: Wait a minute, don't the emperor know about the things Thrushcross can see?

Who is the emperor, if the eldest prince can hide this trick from him, I'm afraid it won't be his turn to ascend the throne.

He is the one who can treat himself without the knowledge of the Supreme Emperor. When it comes to deceiving his own father, the Emperor is the expert, and the eldest prince is a master of tricks.

Lin Jiang raised his head, as if a doctor heard the natural doubts of a serious patient, and then lowered his head and continued to write the prescription.

Seeing her raising her head and lowering her head, the emperor smiled: "You are in the imperial hospital, have you ever heard of the fact that the first princess served the queen mother for her birthday years ago, became sick from exhaustion, and gradually became unbearable?"

Lin Jiang listened to the emperor's question, so she put down her pen and got up to answer: "Thanks to His Majesty's grace, I never take turns in the lobby of the Imperial Hospital, so I have never been to any palace or courtyard. I just want to get acquainted with the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace. There are countless palace gates nearby."

Then I added a sentence to the various pulse cases I had in the Imperial Hospital before: "Even if you are studying royal diseases for your majesty, you will only read the pulse cases of the princes. These princes and concubines are married people with different surnames. There is no need to study their symptoms."

The emperor nodded casually, with a casual tone as if talking about other people's affairs: "Well, I don't know, I guess I will lose a daughter-in-law."

Lin Jiang's mood was like a roller coaster: at first she thought that the emperor was being deceived by the eldest prince, so she was anxious because she didn't know about it; just now, seeing the emperor's expression, she clearly noticed the strangeness of this matter, Lin Jiang was quite excited and thought that the emperor wanted to strike with an iron fist of justice, Sanctioning the eldest prince, I couldn't help but feel hopeful in my heart; but now the emperor actually dropped the matter again, knowing that his son was going to kill his daughter-in-law but he didn't care.

Lin Jiang almost vomited blood: Well, this is back to the original starting point, only I hope to be disappointed here.

She paused for a moment, sighing.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help asking: "Why, you sigh on her behalf, don't tell me you can't get to know the eldest princess?"

Lin Jiang felt chills in his heart: a person is going to die, Shaohua is too old to get seriously ill, isn't it normal for a stranger to hear a few sentimental words?But in this palace, it would be surprising if one sighed for someone who had no friendship.

After calming down, Lin Jiang shook his head: "I don't know each other. It's just that I went to the Empress Dowager's palace on duty a few years ago at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. I have seen two daughters-in-law of His Majesty. The eldest is only five or six years old. The little one is still the nanny holding the kowtow baby." She looked a little sad: "I just think of myself, I lost my mother a long time ago."

The emperor's expression changed slightly: he also lost his mother when he was young.

He looked at Lin Jiang for a while, and finally said: "If you are not afraid of smashing your name as a medical practitioner, let Huamei take you there..." The emperor paused, forgetting which palace his eldest son lived in, and jumped In the past: "Go to the boss to see if his daughter-in-law can be saved."

Lin Jiang saluted: "As a doctor, it is my duty to save the sick and save the sick. How can I be afraid of the serious illness of the sick and difficult to heal, and refuse to go to see the doctor if I smashed my own signboard?"

The emperor shook his head and smiled: "You really don't understand what's going on. Forget it, you can go there once, maybe you can gain some insight. In the future, when you work as an servant in the palace, you will be more mindful. Don't look at the pity of a person's illness to show the doctor's kindness."

Seeing that Lin Jiang was wearing a green official uniform, his face was as white as jade, but his eyebrows and eyes still had the childishness of a girl, so he pointed her out and said: "There are many people in this palace who can't be cured. You are not enough now." clear."

Afterwards, the emperor picked up the eldest prince's funeral memorial on the case, reviewed it casually, and added a sentence: "Take good care of your health, don't hurt your body too much, it makes me worry", and then handed it to Huamei.

The matter of the Tian family, the love of the Tian family, the emperor has already figured it out.

Just like this incident, he could see that the eldest prince was ruthless and ruthless, and he didn't care about his wife for the sake of power. The emperor was already chilling and guarded against this son - if he could kill his wife today, he could kill the king and father tomorrow!

But the face of the royal family is important, the emperor will not directly point out the crimes of the eldest son and tarnish the reputation of the royal family.He would just pretend he couldn't see it, and he would reply to the words of comfort to the First Prince in the notebooks, and leave good words about the love between father and son in the fine brushwork of the history books.

If Lin Jiang's words hadn't touched the emperor's sorrow of losing his mother when he was young, he wouldn't have bothered to let Lin Jiang go this way, lest his valued imperial physician be involved in this matter, he was only going to let the eldest prince do it himself He died, and he was proud of thinking that he had cheated Junfu.

Even the emperor had a deeper thought: Didn't concubine Liu and the first prince, mother and son choose the Lin family as foreign aid after a thousand choices?The emperor wants to see if Lin Ruhai is confused and wants this meritorious service from the dragon.

After all, there is no heir, and the emperor has not shown any preference for any prince at present. Generally speaking, the eldest son of the emperor is still the most hopeful seedling.

And the eldest son of the emperor does not have a son, if he promises to take the position of the concubine and the child who will succeed the concubine as the heir, it will be a huge cookie.

As long as the success is successful, it is not a simple achievement from the dragon, it is basically the father-in-law who has been promoted to the crown prince or even the next emperor.I don't know if there will be a minister who is blinded by profit and defected to him.

So the emperor didn't reprimand Liu Concubine, telling her to give up, I will not let Lin's girl marry the prince, but just to comfort her.

The first prince and mother were comforted, thinking that such wishful thinking could be realized.

It's also good to try Lin Ruhai with the eldest prince.If Lin Ruhai really had such selfish intentions, he would no longer be able to suppress the Jiangnan economy and supervise the salt administration for the imperial court. If he had no selfish intentions, he would be someone worthy of reuse.

Besides, in the eyes of the emperor, even if Lin Ruhai is not tempted by this temptation, there are probably people in this world who are willing to take a chance, and the emperor is going to take a small notebook beside him to record, who in this court can't hold back, I am still in my prime, Start betting on the prince now!

Ever since he learned that the Supreme Emperor would not live for more than three years, besides dealing with the Supreme Emperor is the top priority, there is another important thing for the Emperor, which is to investigate the court ministers.Haosheng observes who he wants to use, who he wants to abandon, and who he wants to kill when he takes power alone.

But at this time, the emperor looked at the little imperial doctor who was 'who is devoted to treating people' in front of him, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Let Wei Ren take you back to the imperial hospital to prepare some medicine, and I will ask Huamei to take you to the eldest prince's place later." .”

Lin Jiang bowed and said goodbye: "I'll go back and get ready now." Then he asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you want me to invite old doctor Fang from the Qianjin Department to make a diagnosis and treatment?"

The emperor sneered, "You're such a foolish child. Forget it, go and see for yourself, I'm afraid you'll understand."

Lin Jiang acted very professionally, and went down with a small expression of "Your Majesty, you are quite inexplicable today".

The emperor said to Huamei here: "You often go to tell her the secrets of the palace when you are free. I heard that she spends her days in the imperial hospital reading medical books, transcribing and studying medicine. She has only been in the palace for a few months, and the number of borrowed medical books It's about to catch up with those imperial doctors who have been in the palace for seven or eight years."

"But you can't just be proficient in this medical field. She is the imperial physician before my emperor, if she is deceived by a few words, I'm afraid I will have a headache."

Eunuch Huamei hurriedly responded respectfully: "That's great, I can go and gossip with Doctor Xiaolin by order in the future."

Then he asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Xiao Lin has a true temperament that can't be concealed. If you find out that the eldest prince's concubine's illness is strange..."

The emperor pointed at him: "Why did I ask you to go? Just stop her from saying it in public."

As he spoke, he left the eldest prince's note on the ground: "Take it back to that bastard! This time, for the sake of my granddaughters, I have already given him an extra chance. If he sees me personally this time, Clicked
