The lady who is a miracle doctor arrives and makes the general blush and his heart beats

My name is Zhao Si, and I’m ranked fourth.

My mother's name was Meng Ruolan, and she was the queen of the time. My maternal grandfather was the famous Duke of England.

I am a legitimate prince, and I have an older brother named Zhao Zhong.

According to the rules of our dynasty, princes can call their father "Daddy" or "Dad" like ordinary people. Among all the princes in the palace, my brother and I are the only ones who call our father "Father".

My father once said that he was first the Emperor of Song Dynasty and then our father.

My brother and I were not favored by our father, and he even regarded us as a disgrace.

how to say?

My father was originally a poor prince. In order to win the support of the Duke of Yingguo, he married my mother and ascended to the supreme throne.

My mother is the daughter of the Duke of England, and my father married her purely to win over my grandfather.

After my father took the throne and relied on the power of the Duke of England to consolidate his throne, he regarded my mother's condescending behavior and her servility in seeking help from the Duke of England as a shame that he could never erase.

He didn't like my mother and even hated her to the core. Naturally, he didn't like me and my brother either.

Because my brother and I have the blood of the Duke of England flowing in our bodies, and they also regard us as a disgrace.

My mother couldn't stand my father's long-term neglect, and with the help of Concubine Xian's instigation and bullying, she suffered from severe depression and passed away in a cold winter.

That year, I was eight years old and my brother was twelve years old.

My father, the emperor, ordered a simple funeral for my mother and buried her with the standards of a second-rank concubine on the grounds that she was insane and immoral, bringing shame to the royal family.

My mother, the daughter of a great nation, died with less dignity than a mere concubine!

My brother and I looked at the eunuch who came to convey our father's order, our eyes filled with hatred, and we pinched our fingers so hard that they almost dug into our flesh.

This was the first time my brother and I truly resented our father.

The day before her mother's funeral, Concubine Xian came to Kunning Palace in plain clothes to pay tribute to her mother, but she was disrespectful to her mother's coffin. She had a beautiful face, but said the most vicious words.

"Meng Ruolan, you are the one who brought shame to His Majesty and the royal family by hanging yourself. Look at your funeral, it's even more deserted than that of ordinary people. You are the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but you seduced His Majesty like a prostitute who can be slept with by anyone. You are shameless. You have brought shame to your Meng family! You were disgusting when you were alive, and you can't rest in peace even after you die. You caused my Jun'er to catch a cold."

I hate Concubine Xian. She forced my mother to death, and now she comes to humiliate her!

I rushed forward, waving my little fists to hit the woman, but my brother grabbed me, dragged me aside, and asked two maids to watch me and not let me do anything.

When Concubine Xian saw that I was going to hit her, she wanted to punish me.

In order to prevent me from being punished, my brother knelt before Concubine Xian, flattered her, and pleaded for me, hoping that Concubine Xian would not beat me.

My brother made Concubine Xian happy, and only then did she let me go and beat me.

The virtuous concubine pretended to cry all the way to burn incense for her mother. After humiliating her mother, she left Kunning Palace triumphantly.

I threw myself into my brother's arms and burst into tears, "Ah... Brother... I hate Concubine Xian, I hate my father, and my mother is dead. What should we do in the future? Ah..."

My brother comforted me and wiped away my tears. He said, "Xiao Si, remember, we are the legitimate sons of the Empress, the most honorable princes of the Song Dynasty. Even if our mother is dead, we cannot live like stray dogs."

"We can't cry. We have to laugh. We have to live with a smile and watch those who bully our mother and our brothers cry with a smile."

Since then, my brother has become a different person. Although he is just a boy of eleven or twelve years old, he acts more like an adult than an adult.

I never cried again. My brother was right. We should live with a smile and watch our enemies cry.

After my mother died, my brother and I faced an increasingly difficult situation. The palace servants who served us neglected us and often withheld our food and clothing. My brother and I often went hungry and had no warm clothes.

People in the palace have always been flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. Even though my brother and I are legitimate princes and our lives are not as decent as those of illegitimate princes, the little eunuchs still dare to show us disrespect.

In order to make life better for us brothers, my maternal grandfather, Duke Yingguo, led the entire clan to follow General Ye Gucheng and General Pingxi Ye Changting to fight against the barbarians in the western border. Unfortunately, we were ambushed by the barbarians and died for our country.

Several of my uncles also died on the battlefield in the West.

However, my father dismissed Meng's Duke title on the grounds that my grandfather was greedy for merit and reckless, resulting in the death of thousands of soldiers. The Meng family fell into decline from then on.

Without the protection of the Meng family, my brother and I had a much harder time and became targets of everyone's bullying.

My eldest brother Zhao Chu was a little bully in the palace. He often came to the bedrooms of my brother and me to cause trouble. Every time he came, the tables, chairs and benches in the bedroom would be destroyed by him. Some of them were missing limbs, while others were covered with bruises. Before leaving, he would generously leave some things behind, sometimes some food, sometimes some unwanted old clothes.

One time, my eldest brother whispered to me and my brother, "The Concubine Xian always makes things difficult for my mother. I want to protect her. I will not come here anymore. You take care of yourselves. There is one more thing I want to tell you. Dad plans to make the Concubine Xian the queen and is already preparing for the ceremony. I don't like the Concubine Xian. She is so annoying. She is not as gentle as Queen Meng."

After saying this, my brother left and rarely came to our place after that.

In fact, my eldest brother's whip was hitting the tables, chairs, benches, walls and the ground, and he said ugly words, but his whip never hit me and my brother.

My brother and I both understood that my eldest brother was deliberately showing off in front of us, and his real purpose was to provide us with food and clothing.

My brother and I both remember the kindness of our eldest brother. He was one of the few sources of warmth we had during those difficult years.

That bitch Concubine Xian forced my mother to death, and now she even dreams of taking the throne of Queen that belongs to my mother. I will never tolerate this!

I said hastily, "Brother, I don't want that woman to be the queen. The position of queen will always belong to my mother."

My brother told me not to be impatient. He said, "Don't be impatient. Father favors Consort Xian the most and will not make another woman the Queen. As long as Consort Xian cannot be the Queen, the position of Queen will always belong to Mother."

My father was afraid of the theories of astrology, and with the help of my brother, the Astrological Bureau said that if Concubine Xian became the empress, it would harm the Purple Star, so the matter of making Concubine Xian the empress was shelved. However, Concubine Xian was still the apple of my father's eye and the most favored woman in the harem.

My father did not appoint any other concubines, and the position of empress still belonged to my mother, but my father let Concubine Xian hold the phoenix seal and act as empress.

None of this matters. Even though Concubine Xian holds the Phoenix Seal, she will never be able to sit on the throne of Queen.

The winter when I was twelve was particularly cold. It snowed heavily in the capital for several days in a row. The virtuous concubine ordered people to take away my brother's and my winter clothes. My brother gave all the warm clothes to me, and he himself wore thin autumn clothes to cover his body.

The cold air entered my brother's body and he fell ill soon after.

I asked the imperial physician to see my brother, and the physician said that the Second Prince only had a minor illness and would recover without taking any medicine.

The imperial physician refused to accompany me to treat my brother, and I knew it was the virtuous concubine who was interfering.

She is the only person in the palace who wishes my brother and I to die.

The first one is the father.

I told my brother what happened at the Imperial Hospital, and that night he poured a bucket of ice water on himself.

The next day, my brother developed a high fever, his body was burning hot and he fell into a coma.

I went to the Imperial Hospital to find the imperial physician, but still no one was willing to treat my brother. I had no choice but to kneel down in front of the hospital and beg the physician to treat my brother. Almost everyone in the hospital came to watch, but still no one was willing to go.

The Imperial Medical Bureau was fed up with me, so one of the doctors volunteered to send me away.

The imperial physician half-knelt in front of me. His tall body blocked my tiny self, and I couldn’t see those who were laughing at me.

The doctor stuffed a few paper-wrapped Bupleurum pills into my hand and said to me in a voice that only I could hear, "Keep it."

The imperial physician signaled me with his eyes to keep quiet. I didn't dare make a sound and quickly hid the Chaihu Pills in my sleeve.

He looked at me with helpless eyes, "Fourth Prince, please leave quickly and stop kneeling. No one will pay attention to you even if you scream to the sky."

Because I was a prince, the imperial physician did not dare to drag me out even though I was no longer favored by my father.

I didn't want to embarrass him, so I was about to get up and leave. The Imperial Hospital said impatiently, "Ouyang Yi, send the Fourth Prince out."

The imperial physician named Ouyang Yi didn't want to offend me or the director of the hospital, so he sent me out of the imperial hospital.

Doctor Ouyang sent me to the gate of the Imperial Hospital. Seeing me in thin clothes, weak and pitiful, he whispered to me, "Young Prince, find a way to find General Ye Gucheng. Don't say anything else, just say that the Second Prince is dying. For Lord Meng's sake, he will help you."

I nodded and said thank you.

I know General Ye Gucheng. He is a famous military general and also famous for his integrity. He is a comrade-in-arms with my grandfather.
