The patient, who had been lying on the bed just now, twisting his body in pain and groaning, suddenly jumped up and looked at everyone with energy.

"Is this...really an act?"

The students all had different expressions on their faces, staring at each other in embarrassment.

But the patient actually reached out his hand and slowly pulled on his face, and a dead-like face was slowly torn off, revealing his originally smooth and rosy face.

Then he reached out his hands and scratched his legs, and actually dug out the so-called abscesses all over the floor. He even put one into his mouth in front of all the students and chewed it slowly.

He showed his big white teeth and laughed: "It's just dough..."

The students were so ashamed that they no longer had the confidence to be so ambitious. They were full of admiration and worship for Lin Zhuwei.

Luo Da student had a complicated expression and felt quite uncomfortable, but he was blaming himself more.

In fact, when he was taking the so-called patient's pulse, he noticed something strange.

But these anomalies were not enough to make him make up his mind to give up his future as a student of the Imperial Hospital as a gamble.

He was thinking, how could the Imperial Hospital's assessment be so simple? How could they arrange a completely healthy patient as the most important test?

Thinking of this, he cast an admiring look at Lin Zhuwei.

After all, it's my own fault for not being well-educated, I can't blame others.

Gu Yunan waved his hand and said calmly, "Go down."

The "patient" bowed respectfully to the three adults, then walked out.

Bai Luqi then stood up, glanced at everyone, and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you have any objections to the top of this list?"

How could anyone dare to speak? They all blushed, lowered their heads and kept silent.

Bai Luqi said again: "Alright, everyone go down. The assessment results will be announced in two days."

"Yes, sir, the examinee shall leave."

The ten candidates responded in unison, bowed respectfully, and then left one by one.

Two days later, Lin Zhuwei received the appointment document and was directly promoted to imperial physician, allowing him to practice medicine directly in the palace.

In addition, four candidates were recruited, all of whom were clerks. Their main job was to identify medicinal materials and their properties, and they did not have the right to practice medicine independently.

As for whether there will be further improvement in the future, it all depends on their understanding and ability.

Lin Zhuwei had been working at the Imperial Hospital for more than two months, and had spent some time to roughly understand the temperament of the people in the palace.

But there was still no progress on what position Master Jasno held in the palace.

She was very cautious and would never ask questions easily before she found someone she could trust in the palace.

She was also anxious, but she knew that nothing could be done hastily, so she could only take things one step at a time.

That day, after checking the pulse of a concubine in the palace and was returning to the Imperial Hospital, she heard bursts of panicked screams coming from near the Juhe Pavilion.

“Ahhh, it hurts…it hurts…” A childish voice cried out, rolling on the ground.

"Third Prince! What's wrong with you?" A panicked voice sounded.

"Mother, it hurts..." The third prince Ling Ruiqi held his abdomen, his face pale.

"Mingxia! Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician quickly!" A slightly panicked voice screamed repeatedly.

"Yes! Concubine!"

Ming Xia turned nervously and ran to the Imperial Hospital. Lin Zhuwei called her loudly: "Aunt, I am the Imperial Physician!"

Ming Xia was overjoyed when he saw it, and quickly said, "Then hurry up and follow me!"

Lin Zhuwei quickly trotted after her and immediately bowed respectfully: "Hello, Concubine Yu."

Concubine Yu Gao Ziyue is the biological mother of the third prince.

The Emperor of Chengyan State, Ling Cheyun, disliked women and had only twenty-five concubines in his harem.

And most of them were women who had to be taken into the harem in order to stabilize the previous dynasty and win over important officials.

However, he was diligent in state affairs and did not pay much attention to the affairs of the harem, so over the years he only had three sons and two daughters.

The eldest prince Ling Chuanchen was born to the queen, and he was only twelve years old. But when he was born, the queen had a difficult delivery, and he was born with a broken leg, and he walked with a limp.

Therefore, he seldom showed up in public, and when he was old enough to learn education, a tutor was specially sent to teach him alone.

I heard that the eldest prince inherited the queen's temperament: he was honest and gentle, peaceful and pure, and respectful and cautious.

If it weren't for his congenital disability in his legs and feet, he might have been the only choice to become the crown prince.

Whenever the eldest prince was mentioned, all the ministers could only shake their heads with regret.

The second prince, Ling Qingzhi, was born to Concubine Su Zheng Fujin and was only eight years old.

The third prince Ling Ruiqi, who was crying out in pain, was only five years old, an age when he was naughty and ignorant.

After Lin Zhuwei finished her greeting, she was about to examine the Third Prince, but Concubine Yu stepped forward, stopped her, and asked condescendingly, "Are you the imperial physician? How come I have never seen you before?"

Lin Zhuwei could only respond first: "Your Majesty, I am a new imperial physician recruited by the Imperial Hospital and have only been here for two months."

Ming Xia quickly agreed, "Your Majesty, I did see her in the Imperial Hospital."

Concubine Yu was very dissatisfied: "You are so young, what can you see? Go and call Doctor Gu to me!"

"Your Majesty, Doctor Gu has returned home." Lin Zhuwei replied calmly, "Your Majesty, I see that the Third Prince's face is pale and he looks in pain. If his condition is serious, I'm afraid we can't delay it. Can I take a look first? If Your Majesty is worried, I won't prescribe any medicine."

As he was speaking, the Third Prince cried out in pain again: "Mother, it hurts, it hurts..."

Then he vomited with a "wow" sound.

Concubine Yu was startled: "Qi'er! What are you still standing there for? Go quickly!"

Lin Zhuwei took his pulse and saw that he had weak energy and a floating pulse. His face looked a little red and swollen, and his lips were turning purple. He then pulled out a silver needle from his sleeve pocket and gently inserted it into his finger.

She took it out and took a closer look, frowning slightly: "The Third Prince has been poisoned."

"Poisoned!" Concubine Yu screamed, almost losing her balance, "Is your life in danger?"

Lin Zhuwei shook his head: "That won't happen. His poisoning is not serious. He only needs some medicine to recover. His life is safe."

"Well, quickly prescribe medicine for him...wait!"

Concubine Yu suddenly shouted in a low voice, causing Lin Zhuwei's hand that was about to open the medicine box to pause.

"What kind of poison did Qi'er get poisoned by?" Concubine Yu suddenly asked.

Lin Zhuwei said calmly: "It should be due to improper diet."

"My queen, please spare my life!"

The servants suddenly fell to their knees.

Ming Xia quickly begged for mercy: "My Lady, I usually take care of the Third Prince's food myself, and I would never dare to poison his food!"

Concubine Yu's eyes turned fierce. "How dare you lie! I told you to take good care of the Third Prince. How dare you poison him! Come on! Send all of you to the Ministry of Punishment! When I report this to the Emperor, I will make sure all of you lose your heads!"

"My Queen, please spare me! This is unjust!"

The servants cried and kowtowed for mercy.

Ming Xia knelt and crawled forward, kowtowed desperately, "Madam, spare me. I am your adopted child. I have served you since I was a child. How could I harm the Third Prince? Something must have gone wrong..."

She sniffed and suddenly cried out, "Madam! I remember now! At noon, the Third Prince woke up from his nap and ran out, and ran into the Second Prince in Qiushui Garden. The Second Prince even invited the Third Prince to come over and have some snacks together..."

"Snapped!"

Concubine Yu slapped him hard and said through gritted teeth, "How many times have I told you to be on guard against the man from Huayu Palace? What are you doing?"

"My Lady! I know I was wrong!"

Lin Zhuwei was somewhat speechless, watching the Third Prince wailing in pain, thinking, what time is it now? Instead of thinking about detoxifying him, they are blaming him first?

But she soon found out the reason.

"Go, invite the emperor here quickly! Tell him that the third prince has eaten the food given by the second prince and has been poisoned!"

Mingxia quickly took the order and left.

Concubine Yu had a hint of excitement on her face at this moment. She turned around and saw Lin Zhuwei and asked, "Are you sure Qi'er's life is safe?"

Lin Zhuwei responded truthfully: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Third Prince will be fine. But if the poison is not removed, I am afraid he will suffer more physical pain..."

"No!" Concubine Yu suddenly interrupted her and sneered, "The poison that the Third Prince was poisoned with is extraordinary. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cure it in a short time. The pain will get worse at night. You have to take good care of yourself in the future. Do you understand what I am saying?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Lin Zhuwei's eyes, but due to her pressure, he could only nod in agreement.

They say the palace is as deep as the sea. Is the wave about to break?
