An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Chapter 192: Old Illness Is Hard to Treat

"My slave, I pay my respects to the Emperor!"

"The humble minister is here to meet the Emperor!"

Jianqiu and the imperial physician had never expected that they would actually see the emperor at the gate of Jingren Palace.

So, at the beginning, Jianqiu and Doctor Wu, who was pulled over by her, were both stunned where they were.

After they reacted, Jianqiu and Doctor Wu hurriedly saluted the emperor.

When Yongzheng saw them, he was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the queen and asked, "Queen, are you feeling unwell?"

"Ugh……"

Hearing Yongzheng's slightly concerned question, the Queen felt mixed emotions.

Originally, the queen should be happy that the emperor suddenly showed concern for her.

But the reason why Yongzheng asked himself this was entirely because he saw Jianqiu brought the imperial physician, not because he understood his own body and cared about his safety.

Moreover, the reason why the Queen asked Jianqiu to find the imperial physician was not for her own sake!

When the queen thought of this, she was no longer happy.

However, Yongzheng was still waiting for her answer, so the queen could only pretend to be calm and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine, but I have a headache recently. I think it is the head wind that is coming again..."

The Queen's answer made Yongzheng raise his eyebrows, but he didn't feel surprised at all.

The Queen's headache was an old problem that had occurred every few days over the years. However, it used to be related to Concubine Hua. Usually, whenever Concubine Hua acted up, the Queen would have a headache the next day and would be unable to get out of bed.

Yongzheng was already used to this, so when he heard about it, he did not show the slightest bit of surprise. He just said to the imperial physician kneeling on the ground: "The queen is ill, you in the Imperial Hospital must treat her well and make sure she recovers quickly!"

"Yes, I will do my best!"

Imperial Physician Wu was originally the Queen's man. When Jianqiu found the Imperial Hospital earlier, she directly called out his name and asked him to go to Jingren Palace.

Relying on the experience he had gained from serving the Queen for so many years, Doctor Wu knew the moment Jianqiu opened his mouth that the reason he was asked to go to Jingren Palace this time was definitely not simply because the Queen was feeling unwell, but there must be some other reason behind it.

However, when Jianqiu was in the Imperial Hospital, she used the excuse in front of everyone that the Queen was not feeling well, so naturally it should be recorded truthfully.

However, Doctor Wu never expected that he would meet the Emperor before meeting the Queen. He was already feeling uneasy and was sweating profusely as he spoke.

"Forget it, I'll just accompany you for a while!"

Yongzheng had already planned to leave, but when he turned around, he found that the queen was frowning slightly and looked very uncomfortable, so he immediately changed his mind.

No one can figure out the emperor's thoughts.

No matter how reluctant the queen was, she had to show an ecstatic attitude at this time and then respectfully welcome the emperor back in.

At the same time, An Lingrong was watching the scene with a smile on her face.

The Queen naturally noticed An Lingrong's expression, and now she felt that the smile had become extremely dazzling in her eyes.

However, the Queen was worried that An Lingrong would expose her arrangements in front of the Emperor, such as asking the imperial physician to take her pulse on the spot.

But then she changed her mind and realized that An Lingrong was not an impulsive or reckless person. She had always been calm and quiet. Even in the Queen's opinion, An Lingrong was sometimes too quiet.

With such a cautious character, one naturally knows what to say and when.

Because of this, after a brief moment of worry, the Queen felt that nothing would happen again, so she turned her attention back to the Emperor.

……

"Okay, show it to the queen."

Yongzheng sat back on the throne and signaled to the imperial physician to begin taking the empress's pulse.

"Yes..." Doctor Wu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, glanced at the queen, took out a soft pillow, a gauze scarf and other items from his box, and then began to "look, smell, ask and feel" the queen.

After a moment, Doctor Wu put away his things and his expression returned to calm.

"Reporting to the Emperor, in my humble opinion, the reason why the Empress' old headache flared up is because she was exposed to the cold air in the morning and evening, which caused the Empress's headache!"

Imperial Doctor Wu kept talking about one "theory" after another, causing Yongzheng and the Empress to frown unconsciously.

"So how is the Queen?"

Yongzheng didn't want to listen to these conclusions which seemed like "nonsense" to him, so he directly asked Doctor Wu whether the Queen's illness could be cured.

"Your Majesty, this is an old problem. The situation... I will prescribe a prescription. Your Majesty, take it for a few days and the symptoms will be relieved."

Doctor Wu is the Queen's man, so of course he knows the truth about the Queen's illness.

It was true that the Queen had a headache, but this was an illness that had developed many years ago. Even the most capable physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau could not cure it completely, so the prescriptions she prescribed now could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

It can be used to relieve symptoms and reduce the queen's pain, but to say that it can cure the disease, even if Hua Tuo were reborn, he would not be able to do so.

Moreover, this headache can sometimes have a very significant effect on the queen.

Doctor Wu knew this very well, and it was impossible for him to do anything to disrupt the situation in front of Yongzheng at this time.

But he did not expect that such a conventional answer would suddenly make the emperor's face darken.

"Humph! You are also an old man in the Imperial Hospital. Is this the limit of your medical skills? The Queen is the mother of the country. How can she be troubled by such a mere headache?"

Yongzheng frowned and reprimanded Doctor Wu. He then said, "If you don't have the ability to cure the Queen's illness, you don't have to stay in the Imperial Hospital!"

These words not only frightened Imperial Doctor Wu to his knees, but also caught the Queen off guard.

Although Yongzheng seemed to be defending himself and hoped that the Imperial Medical Bureau could come up with an appropriate method to cure him, if Doctor Wu could not do so, the emperor would ruin his future!

If it were someone else, the queen would certainly not care.

But Doctor Wu was a capable assistant whom she had secretly cultivated for a long time and had finally recruited for her own use. If he was eliminated so easily, wouldn't all her previous painstaking efforts be wasted?

"emperor……"

In order to help Doctor Wu, the Queen had to speak in a weak voice: "This is an old problem for me. The Imperial Hospital has been treating me very hard, as has Doctor Wu. Unfortunately, my condition has not improved. I understand that the Emperor is concerned about me, so please do not get angry, and take the Emperor's health as the priority!"

She said this to show her tolerance and magnanimity, and at the same time she hoped that the emperor would let Doctor Wu go and not pursue the matter further.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Empress is right. However, I have heard that 'every profession has its own specialties', and I think this imperial physician's expertise is not in this area, so he cannot prescribe the right medicine for my condition."

An Lingrong had been watching the Queen's performance from the side. At this time, she suddenly said something that almost shattered the "smiling mask" on the Queen's face.
