As soon as these words were spoken, the entire bedroom fell silent. Even the princes who had been mocking Lu Yuan were instantly speechless.

Meng Qianqian looked at Lu Yuan in a daze.

His is enough, not enough to stop here, but enough for us to take a gamble.

But she was less than 30% sure.

"I disagree!"

Princess Wanping, who was being dragged out by the palace servants, suddenly broke free and rushed back into the palace, "Take back what you said!"

Zong Zhengxi was very surprised: "Royal sister."

The Second Prince frowned: "Wanping."

The Third Prince and his men as well as the imperial doctors in the palace were also confused. They obviously did not understand where Princess Wanping's attitude towards Lu Yuan came from.

Although there is no substantial evidence that Lu Yuan killed the prince, everyone knows that the prince's death is closely related to him.

As the prince's elder sister, Princess Wanping should hate Lu Yuan, but why does she care so much about Lu Yuan's life and death?

Lu Yuan didn't look at Princess Wanping, nor did he pay attention to the surprise of the crowd. He just said to Zong Zhengxi and the princes, "Now, can my wife treat the emperor?"

Zong Zhengxi hesitated to speak.

Even the imperial physician is helpless against my father's illness. Is Madam Lu really sure that she can cure my father?

If the disease cannot be cured, Lu Yuan will have to be buried with his father.

Zong Zhengxi pinched his fingers and made an extremely bold decision in his heart. He stood in front of Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian and said, "A group of imperial doctors are helpless. Why bother Madam Lu? I invited Madam Lu to the palace. I will never harm my father!"

Princess Wanping pointed at Meng Qianqian and said, "But she will harm Lu Yuan! What if she deliberately doesn't cure father?"

Zong Zhengxi was furious: "Royal sister!"

Where are you from?

The imperial doctors had almost been convinced by His Majesty's words, but Princess Wanping's interruption made all their efforts in vain.

"I believe the Prime Minister has no objection?" Lu Yuan's gaze turned to Prime Minister Xun, who had remained silent.

Prime Minister Xun looked at the princes and asked, "What do you think?"

Of course, everyone hoped that Lu Yuan would be buried with the retired emperor. This treacherous minister had suppressed them a lot in the past.

The Second Prince said sternly, "Then it's settled! Madam Lu, please come in!"

Meng Qianqian first asked the palace maid to fetch a basin of clean water and carefully washed her hands with soap. Then she walked to the bedside of the retired emperor, took out a clean handkerchief, placed it on the retired emperor's wrist, and took his pulse.

Madam Yan stared at Meng Qianqian without blinking.

While taking the pulse of the retired emperor, Meng Qianqian glanced at the palace servant kneeling at the head of the bed.

The strange thing is that this person is not Eunuch Fu.

"Where is Eunuch Fu?"

Meng Qianqian asked casually.

The palace servant said, "Eunuch Fu is ill. I have been taking care of the Emperor these days. My name is Jiang Dehai."

His attitude was extremely low.

Meng Qianqian hummed, withdrew her hand from taking the pulse, gently lifted the thin quilt covering the retired emperor, and untied his pajamas.

There are light red rashes on the chest and abdomen, which are not recorded in the medical records copied by Yu Zichuan. It seems that they have just appeared.

Meng Qianqian's fingertips reached the lower edge of the emperor's right ribs.

Enlarged liver.

Although the spleen could not be felt, Meng Qianqian speculated that it should be swollen.

"The only thing is that the pulse doesn't match."

Meng Qianqian thought about it, washed her hands again, took out the silver needle, lifted up the emperor's trouser leg, and inserted the needle into the Zhubin point diagonally above Sanyinjiao.

The imperial doctors were stunned as they watched her perform the operation.

Judge Zuo: “This is…”

Judge Hu: "Zhubin acupoint runs along the kidney meridian, which can clear the meridians and remove toxins. Is she trying to dispel the drug poison in the emperor's body?"

All medicines are poisonous. People who take medicines for a long time will have certain toxins deposited in their liver and kidneys.

But the emperor had only taken the medicine for less than ten days, so there was no need to disperse the poison.

wrong!

She was dispersing the medicinal properties in the body of the retired emperor!

Judge Hu said hurriedly: "The emperor has been relying on the medicine to hold on until now. If you wear off the medicine, the emperor will...lose his life!"

He almost blurted out that the emperor would die, but fortunately he stopped in time, otherwise the crime of cursing the emperor alone would be enough to cost him his life.

"Nonsense! What a nonsense!"

Another imperial physician said, "The art of Qi Huang is profound and extensive, and we dare not claim to be proficient in it. How dare a mere woman in the harem learn some unorthodox techniques and claim to be a miracle doctor to enter the palace to treat the emperor?"

These words were actually an insult to Lady Yan as well.

Another imperial physician said, "I'm afraid he just wants to gain fame!"

In their view, Meng Qianqian was a half-baked person, and the so-called treatment she gave to the retired emperor was just a formality. When the Imperial Medical Bureau cured the retired emperor in the future, she would also be able to share in the glory.

The world is unfair to women. Secular prejudice has been deep for thousands of years. How many people really look down on women?

Madam Yan said, "Bah, you are so good, come on! At least I diagnosed that the retired emperor did not have a febrile disease, unlike you in the Imperial Hospital, who all treated the retired emperor as a febrile disease doctor. The retired emperor's condition was delayed by you! How dare you say that!"

Go eat shit!

"you you……"

The two imperial doctors wanted to say something to Madam Yan, but when they saw Prime Minister Xun in front of her, they swallowed their words back.

They looked to Director Yang, hoping that their boss would help them, but Director Yang took the situation more seriously than anyone else.

A quarter of an hour later, Meng Qianqian felt the emperor's pulse again and said, "Finally, it's correct."

She stood up, stepped off the steps, and said to everyone, "The emperor is sick with an epidemic."

Judge Zuo and Judge Hu said in unison: "Epidemic?"

The faces of several princes changed at the same time, and they raised their sleeves almost subconsciously.

Madam Yan mocked, "Oh my, this is your own son. Didn't you just not believe in her medical skills? Why did you want to cover your mouth and nose as soon as you heard it was an epidemic?"

The Fifth Prince argued, "We don't have any!"

Yang Yuanshi came to the bedside quickly and examined the emperor: "'At the beginning of febrile disease, the evil is in the Wei surface, floating and rapid.' You use silver needles to prick the acupoints and disperse the medicinal properties, just to make the emperor's pulse return to normal."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "Yes, after acupuncture, the floating pulse disappeared."

Yang Yuanshi said: "The pulse is relatively slow, there is a rash on the chest, the color is light red, the liver is swollen, there is a high fever, abdominal pain, poor appetite, and poor bowel movement... It is definitely an epidemic disease."

"Really... is it really a plague?"

The Fifth Prince took a few steps back, bumped into a stool, and fell to the ground.

The second and third princes didn't care about their appearance and immediately covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.

Since it was an epidemic, it must be highly contagious, so everyone was asked to leave, leaving only Meng Qianqian, a few imperial doctors, and palace maids to serve her.

"I'll stay too."

Lu Yuan said.

Meng Qianqian said: "It's useless for you to stay. You will just be one more person who may be infected. I have already been in contact with the emperor, but you are different. This disease is not transmitted through breathing, so you are fine."

Lu Yuan stretched out his hand.

Meng Qianqian took a step back: "Check the water source, wear gloves, and don't eat anything from the palace."

After explaining everything, she resolutely closed the door in front of him.
