[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

Because of the emperor's decree ordering her to see a doctor for the eldest prince concubine, on the way back to the imperial hospital, Lin Jiang asked Wei Ren about the elder prince.

Wei Ren was puzzled at first, so he couldn't help persuading her not to inquire about the prince's affairs, lest the emperor be angry.

Lin Jiang told about the emperor asking her to check the pulse of the eldest princess, and Wei Ren stopped immediately: "The emperor asked you to go to Hanchen Palace?"

Lin Jiang: I finally know where the eldest prince lives, the emperor just couldn't remember it.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wei Ren couldn't help frowning and said: "Many imperial physicians have already been there, why would His Majesty tell you to go again? The eldest princess suddenly became seriously ill, this is probably not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. There are quite a few people in the palace who have such doubts, wouldn't you bring trouble on your own by going?"

Lin Jiang was also surprised: Wei Ren seems to know why the eldest prince is going to kill his wife.

And there are quite a few people in the palace who are skeptical—the co-author is everyone pretending to be confused while pretending to understand.What the hell is the eldest prince doing? He thought that he was comparable to Zhuge's wise plan, but in fact, many people saw through it.

Seeing her surprised, Wei Ren thought she didn't know the inside story at all, afraid that she would be tricked by Concubine Liu and the eldest prince in the past, so he said bluntly: "There is something wrong with the eldest prince's concubine."

"Although I don't know the princes very well, I know them all. The Third Highness was chosen by the emperor after he ascended the throne. Naturally, he was born taller. At that time, the Third Highness got married, and the First Highness was drunk. He once said in private If it wasn't for the fact that divorcing his wife is not pleasant, he would have divorced his wife only because of the crime committed by the eldest prince's concubine's family, and he has no legitimate son."

"Also said that the First Prince's Concubine is not in good health, even if I keep it forever, I'm afraid she won't be able to last for a few years."

"This time the eldest concubine suddenly fell ill, most of the princes in the palace believed that His Highness is unwilling to wait any longer."

Lin Jiang stopped and asked him: "Everyone knows, but everyone is looking at His Highness like this...?" Deliberately killing people, but not saying a word?Even if you have to be wise and protect yourself in this palace, and you can't speak out for justice, but even if you want to bring down the eldest prince and sit on the throne, wouldn't it be good for everyone to actively spread the news?

Wei Ren's tone was low: "In the palace, the people don't report this kind of thing to the officials. The eldest princess didn't die of illness suddenly this time, and she didn't have a chance to speak - since she began to get sick, the other two princes and concubines, members of the royal family The wives in the palace have all visited. If she really wants to report on His Royal Highness for killing her, there are times when she can speak up."

He doesn't treat Lin Jiang as an outsider, and he doesn't have many scruples compared to the eunuch who served the imperial court like the eunuch Huamei.Wei Ren simply talked to Lin Jiang: "What do you think the two princes asked their wives to see the eldest prince's concubine? They just want to get evidence from her that can bring down the eldest prince. It is best for her to come forward and sue the eldest prince first." Kill her wife."

"But the First Prince's Concubine is not there. Instead, she helps the First Prince to cover it up, telling her sisters-in-law and clan wives that her own fate is unlucky, and the illness is so severe that she will definitely not get better this time."

Lin Jiang felt chills in his heart: the victim who was about to be killed, instead spoke for the murderer, and the great princess struggled in pain, it was inhumane.

As for why, Lin Jiang can also understand: she still has two biological daughters to worry about.

If she reported on her husband, the eldest prince would be in trouble, and the two daughters would not end well in the future.Even if she didn't cooperate honestly and die, the two daughters might not have a good life.

Presumably it was Concubine Liu who also 'persuaded' her, or promised her something, that she was so willing to cooperate to die, and helped the eldest prince to 'clarify the truth' before she died: it was her own fate who died of illness, and she was the same as the eldest prince. It doesn't matter.

Maybe if Lin Jiang went, the eldest princess would still hate her for being a hindrance.

Seeing that she had figured it out, Wei Ren said: "It's hard for a god to save a damned ghost. His Majesty asked you to watch it, probably because he wanted to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, and wanted the eldest prince to rein in the precipice...or to let you go and see the truth. Ninety percent of the concubine's illness is something strange, but if there is an accident and she is really sick, then the eldest son of the emperor has been wronged."

Lin Jiang nodded, with a wry smile: "I guess His Majesty has another meaning."

Wei Ren: "Huh?"

Lin Jiang pointed to himself: "Your Majesty said I was confused, let me go and see for myself to understand."

Then Wei Ren smiled reassuringly: that's great, he thought it was Lin Jiang who was involved in the eldest prince's incident, it would be bad if the emperor's suspicion was summoned.Since it was the emperor who said so, it is probably to use this matter as a model material for her to make her practice medicine in this capital more carefully.

That's a good thing too.

It shows that the emperor values ​​her so much that he will take a long-term view and cultivate her character.

After Lin Jiang returned to the imperial hospital, he went to the pulse case room next to the lobby to read the pulse case of the eldest princess, first to see what other imperial physicians wrote.

It just so happened that the deputy of the horse courtyard was humming a tune and doing the work boredly. When she saw her go to find the pulse case, she also came over: "Who is the pulse case for the doctor Xiao Lin, I will help you find it."

It is not an easy task to find pulse cases in Tai Hospital: there is no one-click search in this dynasty, so you can only look through the box of the day according to the date, and take it out for a look.

When he heard that Lin Jiang was looking for the eldest concubine, the Deputy Ma Yuan was as surprised as Wei Ren just now: "Ah? Why did you get this job?"

Lin Jiang was helpless: "Your Majesty's order, I can't do anything about it."

The deputy of the horse courtyard looked left and right, and then said mysteriously: "I advise you to write according to our previous pulse case - after the eldest princess was ill, the eldest prince looked very anxious, and invited me from our imperial hospital. There are seven or eight imperial physicians, and all the imperial physicians in the Qianjin Department can't make a trip, so the few imperial physicians who specialize in dentistry and traumatic injuries are all gone."

"I went to see it once too."

Lin Jiang also believed in the assistant medical skills of the Horse Academy, and asked quickly: "Then how do you feel about the diagnosis?"

The deputy of the horse courtyard was overwhelmed: "Old Zheng and I have never seen the golden face of the prince and concubine. Although there are differences between men and women, it is usually necessary to check the pulse through the curtain. But the prince and concubine are all sick. I'm sorry, when it's time to die, then of course we have to watch our faces and lips, don't we?"

"But the eldest princess refused to let us see the golden face, she just scolded us for being useless, saying that she was dying of illness, but the imperial hospital couldn't prescribe a good prescription, and took the imperial salary for nothing, yes A group of waste snacks."

The deputy of the horse courtyard was angry and frowning: "Let's talk about our hospital's own private words. We took the pulse, but we didn't find any serious symptoms for the princess. It's just that the pulse is weaker and weaker. I can't afford to be sick—if it's really that serious, how can I scold the doctor loudly."

As the second-in-command of the Taiyuan Hospital, the deputy of Ma Yuan sent many nobles from the royal family and the wealthy families in Beijing. Ordinary attachments are normal.

Who looks like the eldest princess, I'm afraid the imperial doctor will take another look at her.It's just that the hospital has a tacit understanding not to cause trouble, and it's fine if the patients don't let them see, and they all don't say a word.

Lin Jiang listened and flipped through the pages, and found the pulse case. After seeing it, he couldn't help but ask again: "You just said that you didn't diagnose any serious illness, but what you wrote is quite serious."

The deputy of the horse court was a little embarrassed: "This, that, there is no way. The eldest princess only said that her chest hurts and her head hurts everywhere, and that she can't live. If we write according to the real pulse, if she suddenly disappears, we Don't they all become quack doctors?"

"I have to write it as a serious disease according to the weak disease. We as imperial physicians can't fabricate the disease that doesn't exist, but if the weak disease occurs, it's not impossible to kill people."

In short, it is a pulse case of panacea, whether it is dead or alive, nobleman, you can do whatever you want.

It can also be seen that everyone in the Imperial Hospital is well aware of the strangeness of the eldest princess' concubine's illness.

Lin Jiang said he was educated: "Thank you, Deputy Ma Yuan."

The deputy of the horse court was worried for her: "Oh, why did your majesty ask you to go? If we men go, the eldest princess can shirk and not let us meet. You have arrived in person with the holy order, and it is another girl's house. The eldest prince's side Naturally, there is no excuse, if you see something, wouldn't it be a disaster for yourself?"

Lin Jiang lowered his eyes: "Vice president, don't worry, Mr. Thrush will follow me."

The deputy of the horse courtyard took a long breath, and then sighed again: "Oh, it's so hard to treat in this palace. Doctor Xiaolin knew it after this time. It's not that we don't have the benevolence of doctors and just want to stay out of it, but that doctors are also human beings." Ah, you need your own head to breathe, don’t you?”

He wanted to babble for a while longer, but when he saw Grandpa Thrush appearing at the door, he said hello, then hurriedly shut up and slipped away.

Goodbye Liu Pin, Lin Jiang feels completely different.

When I saw her last time at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, I thought she was an ordinary and gentle middle-aged woman. But this time, when I saw her, it was like seeing a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard. I was bored from the bottom of my heart and wanted to stay away.

Concubine Liu's face was the same, and she looked very affectionate. She greeted people to serve tea to Lin Jiang and Eunuch Thrush, and said politely: "I don't have any good tea here. I have wronged Imperial Physician Xiaolin and Eunuch Bai."

As soon as Eunuch Thrush came out of the Mingzheng Palace, he put on a face like a wood carving, and his tone was very even, he just said he didn't dare.

Lin Jiang also followed his example, and said calmly and politely: "The tea here must be good."

Concubine Liu laughed and said, "Physician Xiaolin doesn't have to smooth things over for me. I know you come from a wealthy family, and your family has more money than ordinary people's rice. Your father came to Beijing during the Chinese New Year this year. I heard that he brought a lot of precious things. Gold, silver and jewelry are even more vulgar."

There was a hint of uncontrollable envy in her tone.Presumably, she was born as a court lady, and her mother's family was also very ordinary, and she was not favored in the palace. Board and lodging were the dry rules of a concubine, and she wanted to help her son win the heir, so she was naturally eager for money.

Lin Jiang suddenly became excited: Could it be that Lin Changzhou's return to Beijing to show off his wealth is also the reason why Concubine Liu and the eldest prince took aim at Daiyu.

If you think about it, if you get Daiyu, you can get Lin Ruhai, an important official in the court, Lin Jiang, the deputy imperial physician in the same hospital, and a wealthy imperial businessman among the people!

This is simply buy one get three free!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiang really didn't want to be perfunctory with Concubine Liu, so he glanced at Eunuch Thrush.

Eunuch Huamei received the signal and put on a business face: "The eldest concubine is seriously ill, and the emperor is concerned about it. Doctor Xiao Lin is ordered by His Majesty to diagnose the concubine's pulse."

Lin Jiang carefully observed Liu Bin's expression.

Seeing that Concubine Liu didn't panic at all, and didn't stop her, she got up directly and said, "Yes, our mother and son are very worried about her illness. Fortunately, His Majesty loves and takes care of her. Doctor Xiaolin will go back soon."

Concubine Liu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, as if she was really crying and sad for her daughter-in-law's illness: "It's just that she is seriously ill, and sometimes she doesn't speak well. Doctor Xiao Lin must take care of us, don't blame her."

Lin Jiang frantically brushed the barrage in his heart: What face do you have?What about the viper's face?

But looking at Concubine Liu's demeanor, one knew that Wei Ren's guess was correct, their mother and son had already dealt with the eldest concubine and made her die willingly, so they were not afraid of the imperial physician at all.You go to the doctor, you find out if you are sick, and then the eldest princess concubine 'Ga Beng' died, you are the one who can't argue with it, okay?

How many imperial physicians came with the same pulse case and result, do you, a 13-year-old girl, dare to write something different?

Concubine Liu didn't even follow behind, which shows that she is very sure about this matter.

Following the guidance of the court lady, Lin Jiang walked into the inner room of the eldest prince and concubine.

A woman could be vaguely seen lying behind the curtain on the bed.

As a princess and concubine, there is only one maid serving beside her.It's not cold in this room, but it's hot and stuffy, and the air feels a bit cloudy.

In fact, to force a person to death, it is easy and difficult to say - human vitality is sometimes very tenacious, like a flourishing weed, it does not mean that there is a bit of wind and cold, and it will die if it is not treated.

People can sometimes heal themselves.

So Lin Jiang thought about how the First Prince would force the First Prince and Concubine to death, until he read the pulse case, he could basically be sure - that is starvation.

Living hungry, people are like fish out of water, they will always die.

Lin Jiang stepped forward and said hello firmly.Eunuch Thrush explained the purpose of his visit, and then ordered the maid to open the curtain.

Who would have thought that the maid didn't move, she insisted on standing in front of the bed even though she was trembling, she was obviously the concubine's confidant, and she wouldn't open the curtain without her order.

Father-in-law Huamei frowned: There are still palace people in this palace who dare not listen to him, the chief eunuch?

He was going to be annoyed at that time, but he just remembered that the eldest princess used to be a kind person, and she didn't beat or scold them mean things, so she didn't get angry.

"Let Dr. Xiaolin examine my pulse." A weak female voice suddenly came from behind the curtain.The court lady was stunned at first, and after confirming her master's meaning again, she opened the curtain.

Lin Jiang saw an extremely thin woman lying in the brocade bushes, her face was withered and yellow like a handful of weeds.

Eunuch Thrush took a look and then lowered his head: The eldest prince is really cruel. He has seen such a face and posture a lot. At that time, he was just a child who had just entered the palace. As the lowest eunuchs in the palace, he was hungry. When he died, he was skinny like this, with a sallow complexion.

At that time, they all felt that as long as they were assigned to a good master, they would be able to live their lives without worrying about food and clothing.

Who would have thought that the number of masters in the palace, the concubine of the eldest son of the emperor, would also end up starving to death.

Even father-in-law Huamei, who had seen the cruel and bloody change of the throne, felt a little sympathetic.

Lin Jiang stepped forward and sat on the embroidered stool brought by the court lady, stretched out her hand, and at the same time carefully looked at the eldest princess.

However, seeing this, she was taken aback.

After the Supreme Emperor, she saw the second pure purple patient, a mass of thick purple aura hovering over the abdomen of the First Imperial Concubine like a huge purple mushroom!That is to say, this eldest concubine is not dying of starvation, but is really terminally ill!

[The patient is suffering from cervical cancer, which is advanced and is dying; he is severely malnourished; he will issue a notice of critical illness and provide end-of-life care. 】

Lin Jiang was stunned: Did they all blame the eldest prince by mistake?

She put her finger on the empress's pulse again, and she couldn't help being even more shocked: this pulse is also completely different from what Deputy Ma Yuan and the others wrote. It is clearly not a weak disease, but a standard incurable pulse.

Who were the weak diseases diagnosed by the seven or eight imperial physicians in the imperial hospital before? !

"Eunuch Bai, can I have a few words with Imperial Physician Xiao Lin alone?" The eldest princess's white eyes were a little yellow, and from her perspective, she could just see Lin Jiang's face.

Father-in-law Huamei didn't move a bit: "The slave is here by holy order, so don't leave it for a while."

The eldest concubine turned to Lin Jiang. She tried her best to hold Lin Jiang's pulse-felt fingers. Her cold and dry fingers had no strength, but she tried her best to draw them together: "Doctor Xiaolin, please."

Only then did Lin Jiang recover from the shock, feeling that there was something else hidden about this matter.She gathered herself together and said justice to Mr. Thrush: "Eunuch, the princess has some symptoms of a woman, she is embarrassed to say it when you are here."

Seeing what Lin Jiang said, Mrs. Huamei hesitated for a while before choosing to believe in the strength of his teammates. He retreated according to Lin Jiang's words, and only said: "Our family is waiting at the door."

After Eunuch Thrush retired, the eldest concubine looked at Lin Jiang and smiled: "I didn't have the chance to see her before, but I only heard people talk about Xiao Lin's imperial physician's exquisite medical skills, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation. You must have seen my illness."

She coughed twice, and added: "But I beg Imperial Doctor Xiaolin not to tell others, just write according to the pulse records of the other adults in the Imperial Hospital. Those are my reborn parents."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Jiang suddenly understood: "So it's not the eldest prince, but the prince and concubine who arranged all this?"

The eldest princess laughed, she spoke very short of breath, but she still struggled to say word by word: "Yes, it's me."

"Half a year ago, I found myself sick. After the sunflower water treatment, I was bleeding all the time, and my abdomen and lower back were in excruciating pain."

She didn't seem to be afraid of death at all, but said frankly: "My body knows it-I understand that I am going to die."

"But I'm not reconciled. This palace is full of my enemies, the mean and vicious mother-in-law, the ruthless husband, who made me humiliate my concubines. If I want to die, I have to take them down to the underworld Go to hell!"

Although it was difficult for her to speak, she seemed to be very happy, happy that someone could finally listen to her.

"So I don't see the imperial doctor anymore. I just deliberately said provocative things in front of their mother and son, saying how good the background of the third sibling is, and how much money was sent to the third prince from Chongyang's family during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I ordered everyone to treat her when they entered the palace. What a respectful word."

"Sure enough, their mother and son disliked me more and more. Probably God helped me. The queen mother held a birthday banquet a year ago and invited many noble girls into the palace. I think that day, my mother-in-law, who is full of benefits, will definitely see I hit a really good girl."

"Later, Concubine Liu found me, and signaled openly and secretly, only saying that I was sick and in pain, so it would be better to suffer less. I pretended to hesitate for a few days, and said that I was willing to make way for the eldest prince. I only hoped that they would treat me well in the future. daughter. Sure enough, their mother and son immediately agreed and praised me for being sensible."

The eldest princess sneered and said: "This is what their mother and son are like, everything is as I imagined."

"Afterwards, everyone who came to visit my sisters-in-law and clan members deliberately disregarded the relationship with the First Prince, and said that I deserve to die. But before that, at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, I even drank medicine to boost my spirits. Forced to walk around with nothing to show them."

"Sure enough, the princes are all wondering about my illness and want to find evidence."

The eldest princess laughed even happier: "After the imperial doctors came, I scolded them loudly on purpose and didn't allow them to look at their lips, tongue, and complexion. Then I only let Xiaochan take my nail cover and stretched out my hand to let them feel the pulse."

"The imperial doctor can't touch the disease, so he has to write about old sickness and weak disease."

"This pulse case can be read by the emperor and the queen mother in the palace. How can they not be suspicious when they see this pulse case? And the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital naturally have some acquaintances, so how can they not disclose such strange things in private? , let those close to you guard against the First Prince?"

Her eyes even brightened up a bit: "When I heard that the emperor sent Imperial Doctor Xiao Lin, I was worried that the matter would be leaked, but at the same time I was happy: Since the Emperor personally sent Imperial Doctor Lin here, it can be seen that he is suspicious of the eldest prince! As long as Father Jun suspects that he has bad intentions, and he will not end well in the future. I am in the gate of hell, and I will be happy to watch him fetch water from the bamboo basket!"

Lin Jiang listened silently, and finally sorted out everything.

It turns out that the eldest prince is not so stupid, everyone knows that he wants to kill his wife and return it, and it was planned by the eldest prince and concubine.

It's ridiculous that Concubine Liu was so calm and righteous just now, she must have thought that the eldest princess would never betray her, so it was useless for Lin Jiang to come to check her pulse.

Yes, of course the eldest princess will not back down, all of this is what she asked for!

Lin Jiang thought, people in this palace had never known this woman.

Nowadays, everyone only regards her as a gossip of 'sadness and anger', but they never expected that she has such courage and heart!

She couldn't help saying: "Eldest Concubine, it's a pity that you marry someone like the First Prince." If it were someone else, she might not have spent a full life.

The eldest princess was slightly taken aback, and suddenly tears came from the corners of her eyes. She reached out and wiped away the tears indiscriminately: "I have been married to the royal family for so many years, and others all look down on me. It is a pity that the eldest son of the emperor occupies the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the emperor. Only you, Doctor Xiaolin, say that he is not good enough for me."

She looked at Lin Jiang: "Thank you, I want to thank you just for this sentence."

Then she pleaded: "So I beg Doctor Xiaolin, don't tell others that I am really sick, okay? Just let everyone think that they killed me." She muttered to herself: "Actually, sooner or later they will Kill me, I know."

Lin Jiang was speechless and finally nodded.

A big stone fell from the First Prince's Concubine's heart, and she looked even weaker, as if she would die without being able to catch her breath.

Lin Jiang immediately untied her clothes and performed acupuncture several times. Seeing her anxious eyes, he comforted her: "Don't worry, acupuncture can't make you heal now, it just makes you less painful. Don't worry."

After finishing speaking, she felt sad: Telling the patient that she would definitely die turned out to be a kind of comfort, which shows the miserable life of the eldest princess.In the end, only by sacrificing one's own death can one report some hatred.

The pain on the eldest princess's body eased, her breathing stopped evenly, and she thanked Lin Jiang again.

Lin Jiang suddenly remembered and couldn't help asking: "Then your two daughters..."

The eldest prince's concubine's tears fell again: "With such a father and such a short-lived mother like me, it's their lives that can't be earned anymore."

"Emperor Xiaolin doesn't understand, but if Concubine Liu and the eldest prince have a daughter who can be entrusted to, I will not act like this. But I know how they are: even if one day his wishful thinking becomes a prince, my daughter will not." If there is a good end, it is estimated that he will be sold by him to win over his courtiers."

"And it would be good if he was defeated. There are quite a few princes who failed to seize the heir apparent in this dynasty. Most of them were imprisoned for life. But the boys among them will never be released. On the contrary, when the daughter's family reaches the age, they will seal a county at random. Marry with a name such as Jun to show the royal virtue."

The First Prince's concubine had a very cold smile on her lips: "It's not good for my daughter if they ascend to heaven. It's better for their family to be unlucky. My daughter is the two least unlucky among them!"

After speaking, she burst into tears again: "Besides, my daughter is also delusional in the future. I'm afraid that soon after my death, these two poor children will be tortured to death by his concubines."

"Alright, even if they die and become ghosts, they are also ghosts protected by their mothers. It's better than living in this lonely world and being bullied instead!"

She even said such extreme words, it can be seen that she is determined to die and never change her mind.

The eldest concubine had finished speaking, and she looked at Lin Jiang: "I don't want to be able to say these words before I die, just don't worry, Doctor Xiao Lin, I have been on a hunger strike for a few days, and the death date is estimated to be only two days. When a person dies like a lamp going out, the pulse case will be concluded naturally, and it will never implicate the imperial physician Xiaolin."

Lin Jiang looked at her thin face that was barely human, and whispered to himself: "It must be painful."

The eldest princess didn't understand: "What?"

"The feeling of hunger, like a knife stirring in the stomach, and the symptoms of bleeding all over the body, aren't these particularly painful?" Lin Jiang raised his hand to wipe away the uncontrollable tears from the corners of his eyes, and then handed over a bolus.

"This is the pill I developed from medical books before. It can relieve all kinds of ailments, but once I take it, it only has a lifespan of twelve hours. Even if the gods come, they can't save it."

This is the [hospice · one day] she just redeemed from the system, and she spent [-] reputation points.

She thinks it's worth it, the First Concubine deserves a day without pain.

Presumably, she also wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Sure enough, the eldest princess concubine showed surprise on her face, and immediately took it and swallowed it.After a while, her breath gradually stabilized, the severe pain in her body disappeared, and even her eyes became brighter. She looked at Lin Jiang: "Today's favor, I will repay you in the next life with a grass ring."

Lin Jiang shook his head, got up and bowed to the courtier: "The minister has finished his pulse diagnosis, so I will leave."

"Doctor Lin." The First Princess suddenly stopped her: "I have one last thing to ask Doctor Lin."

Lin Jiang thought: She probably wants to take care of her daughter as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess would look at her: "I have acted without shame in my life, but there is only one thing that worries me - I don't know which poor girl will marry into this jackal's den in the future. Praying in the underworld, their mother and son will have retribution before they harm others."

"If that's the case, please ask Imperial Physician Xiao Lin to burn this matter to me. After all, in this palace, you are the only one who understands my intentions."

Lin Jiang nodded: "Don't worry."

He also wanted to harm Sister Lin, and it would be impossible in his next life!

"Doctor Xiaolin, let me give you another word of advice: You are a person in front of the imperial court, so don't bother with the affairs of the princes. You don't have to pity my daughters. Since I have taken this step, I will finally take care of them. I also tried my best to arrange a few loyal maids to protect them."

"So you just go out, don't look back, and don't get involved in anything in Hanchen Palace."

"Doctor Xiaolin, I only look forward to the next life, and we will meet again by fate."

The Great Prince's concubine was no longer in severe pain. Although she was weak, she still managed to stand up, supported the bedpost and gave her a feminine salute, with a clear smile on her withered face, even with a bit of innocence. : "Really, thank you."

Lin Jiang walked out the door, and Eunuch Thrush was about to ask what happened when he suddenly saw Imperial Doctor Xiaolin's tears falling like broken beads.

Eunuch Thrush was taken aback: What's wrong, did the eldest princess beat someone?

In fact, when Lin Jiang first came out, he had adjusted his mind and could barely hold it back, but now he couldn't help crying—because the system suddenly popped up a reminder: Level [-] achievement [Gratefulness Worth a Thousand Gold] achieved.

[Congratulations to the host, the patients healed by you have developed the true feelings of 'the kindness is so heavy that it is hard to repay in this life, and I would like to repay you in the next life'. 】

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking two achievements within one year and rewarding one thousand reputation points. 】

[The host is requested to go to the lucky wheel to draw achievement rewards within 24 hours. 】

Lin Jiang covered her face with a handkerchief: She never thought of achieving this achievement, and it was not within her plan.

In the eyes of the vast majority of patients, it is a matter of course for a doctor to treat a disease. If you cure me, I will pay off your consultation fee.

There is even a story about Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf. You cured me, but I will bite you.

The so-called gratitude that is more important than a thousand pieces of gold, Lin Jiang really never expected it.

For example, Lin Ruhai has a good character and a kind heart. After receiving her treatment, she will be taken care of and cared for like her own daughter. This is already the limit of a good character.

So this achievement, Lin Jiang put it in the schedule of 'impossible' to eat ashes.

Who would have thought that this was actually the first non-hidden achievement she unlocked!

But this patient was a poor man who was not cured by her, but only given a little hospice care.

Lin Jiang felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Thanks to the fact that there was only Father-in-Law Thrush at the door, it didn't matter if Lin Jiang lost his temper and shed tears.She cried for a few seconds, then forced herself to hold back her tears and wiped away the tears on her face.Fortunately, when she entered the palace, she basically did not wear makeup, and she would not come out with a big face.

"Eunuch, let's go, let's go back to the emperor's words."

When stepping out of Hanchen Palace, Lin Jiang stopped and looked back for a moment: Don't worry, I know how to answer the emperor.Don't worry, I will never forget you.Everyone in this palace thinks you are weak and foolish, you are a pitiful and ridiculous person who was persecuted to death, but I will always know that you have avenged yourself.

I will definitely go to the front of your mausoleum and tell you the ending of the eldest prince in the future!

—

Probably to avoid suspicion, after Lin Jiang's pulse was checked, neither Concubine Liu nor the eldest prince showed up in person, but ordered the personal palace servants to come and send them off, and they even wrapped two heavy hand-dropping red envelopes.

The maid next to Concubine Liu smiled and stuffed the red seal into Lin Jiang's hand: "Your Majesty said that she knew that Imperial Physician Xiao Lin was from a wealthy family and didn't value these things, but this is our Majesty's wish, so don't be too small."

On the other side, the eunuch, the eldest prince's trusted confidant, was also throwing money into Thrushcross's father-in-law.

Looking at the bloody red seal in Hanchen Palace, Lin Jiang felt like throwing up, wishing she could throw it away immediately, and then disinfect her hands a hundred times.

After turning around the corner of the corridor, Lin Jiang immediately handed the heavy red seal to the two deputy envoys of the imperial hospital behind him: "Thank you, come with me."

Except for the summoning by the two His Majesties, the imperial physicians from the other palaces had to be accompanied by two deputy envoys. On the one hand, they were doing chores, and on the other hand, they also played the role of mutual supervision of the three present to prevent the imperial physicians from colluding with the harem.

But this time the situation was special, the princess was notorious for not letting male doctors see her, the two deputy envoys didn't go in to scold, and stood directly under the wall of the palace gate.

The First Prince's mother and son are all people who only look at power, so they don't care about these two deputy envoys from the eighth rank, so they didn't even let the servants have a cup of tea.

The two of them stood awkwardly for half an hour in the cold winter wind.

They are also used to not being able to complain: they are neglected second-class citizens wherever they go.In this palace, they are only better than ordinary eunuchs.Although he has a half-time job, his dignity is not even comparable to those of the Red Palace people in front of his master.

Seeing that Lin Jiang gave them all the heavy red seals at this moment, it was a touch: the people in the medicine store said that this doctor Xiao Lin was very kind-hearted and would think about others, but it was true.It's a pity that she usually only summons for the Supreme Emperor, we can't go in and out with her often, otherwise life will be easier.

The two thanked them first and took it over. When they opened it, they saw that it was 20 taels of golden gold. They were taken aback and hurried back.

This is too much.

You must know that their eighth-rank salary is only 40 taels of silver and 40 hulumi a month.

Moreover, the Tai Hospital received dead wages, no more than the local officials outside, who had the so-called maintenance money, which was ten times higher than this salary.

So these 20 taels of gold are worth half a year's salary.

Seeing that they were going to return it again, Lin Jiangxiu held up his hands, refusing to touch the things in Hanchen Palace again, and only asked them to accept it very sincerely.

Seeing her, the two assistant envoys couldn't help being in a daze. They obviously collected the money themselves, so why did they seem to be helping the imperial physician Xiaolin?

But these two are also people who are short of money, so they finally accepted it happily. They were already thinking in their hearts that the son in the family lacked a good pen, and the daughter in the family lacked a good jacket and skirt—and began to think about buying things.

Then they looked at each other and nodded to each other: what Guan Gou of the medicine store said was right, this imperial doctor Xiao Lin is a kind person!

After leaving the buildings on the east side of the palace where the princes lived, the two deputy envoys went back to the imperial hospital by themselves, while Lin Jiang followed Eunuch Thrush to Mingzheng Palace to meet the emperor.

Mingzheng Palace, the emperor put down the bag in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Lin Jiang in front of him carefully, and then smiled: "Oh? Why did you become wilted when you came back from seeing a doctor, but your signboard was smashed?"

Lin Jiangxin said: The emperor is really a person who likes to see other people's jokes!

I haven't seen your jokes yet: Your Majesty, look at what kind of things you gave birth to, so you don't have to worry about it when you get old, and you still have the spirit to laugh at me?

But the face was listless: "I have only now understood the teachings of the emperor. If the disease can be cured, it will not be cured. The patient's life is certain. From then on, the minister will no longer care about other people in the palace, but only listen to your majesty. Don't listen to anything, don't ask questions!"

The emperor nodded: Yes, it has achieved the effect I wanted.

Now that his sons are growing up gradually, the eldest prince's restlessness will only be the beginning, and there will definitely be more and more princes making small moves in the future. The emperor is really afraid that there is something wrong with the imperial physician around him, so he will take a drastic action on himself.

Asking Lin Jiang to watch this scene is to let her know how ruthless the people in the palace are when they fight - even their own wives can be killed if they are so cruel, let alone you are only a doctor, do you expect them to protect you sincerely?I hope this will scare her, so that she will not be contaminated by these battles in the future, and just concentrate on being loyal to the emperor.

Seeing that Lin Jiang's mood is extremely low, the emperor's mood is very high: this is called tuning, teaching as early as possible.

He also sorted out Wei Ren in the same way back then: it took more than ten years to develop Wei Ren into a cold and withdrawn personality. He obviously grew up with the princes in the palace, but he was not close to any of them. He only felt that the royal family was troublesome. I only recognize him in my heart.

Lin Jiang is different from Wei Yan. Wei Yan was thrown into the battlefield by him and killed people. He knows that people's hearts are like battlefields.

But Lin Jiang is a doctor from a beautiful and wealthy family, and she is also a girl. The emperor heard that she would feed wild cats in the palace, so that a group of stray cats gathered in the imperial hospital, which shows that she is soft-hearted.

So the emperor is even more worried about her.
