Records of the King of Xin'an County

The next day, Li Hui entered the palace in the name of greeting Empress Du, and together with Princess Changning, began to investigate the matter of King Huai.Sure enough, the pulse records seen in the Imperial Medical Office were recorded in great detail and kept extremely complete. In the past ten years, the pulse has almost never been broken.The imperial physician who was following them also said that according to the pulse case, Duke Huai suffered from wind and cold, and after being weak for several days, he died of an emergency.The pulse case and the prescription match the symptoms, and there is nothing missing, but the emergency is fierce and eventually the disease is terminal.

Li Hui and Princess Changning looked at each other, and silently wrote down the pulse of Duke Huai tens of days before his death.Of course, they would not trust the judgment of a low-ranking imperial doctor. Maybe the doctor in charge did misdiagnose it?Or maybe this person is not good at learning, so he can't see the strangeness in it?

"Besides us, has anyone else read Uncle Huai's pulse over the years?" Before leaving, Li Hui suddenly asked again.He wanted to know who else was interested in Duke Huai's disease.If it is Princess Anxing, it means that she is still trying her best to find the truth and verify her suspicions; if it is someone else, maybe this is one of the culprits who bewitched Princess Anxing, or it may be another one who is trying to figure out all the reasons ally.

The imperial doctor guarding the pulse case is very old, and it is said that he has stayed here for more than [-] years.He seemed not expecting the king of Xin'an County to ask this question, he couldn't react for a while, stroked his long silver beard, turned his cloudy eyes, pretending to try his best to remember for a moment, Fang said: "I still remember, when King Huai When His Highness just died of illness, Princess Anxing would come to see his pulse almost every day, and she even studied medicine for a while. After that, no one came here again."

"Oh?" Li Hui narrowed his eyes, with a half-smile, "Is this true? It seems that the imperial physician is indeed too old to remember things. He even forgot all the things he has done." Only by asking so coldly can we get the most authentic response from the other party.The imperial doctor obviously accepted someone's bribe and quietly let people see the pulse case.

"Brother, you are too polite. He is clearly lying to us openly!! How brave! Why don't you take him to Dali Temple immediately for a careful trial." Princess Changning raised her eyebrows slightly, "What kind of punishment? Do it all over again, you have to pry his mouth open!!”

The old doctor quietly raised his eyes, looked at the unrestrained noble lord in front of him, trembled uncontrollably, and immediately yelled: "Old...I remember!!"

He stretched out his sleeves to wipe off the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm too old, I really can't remember many things clearly, I hope your lord and your majesty don't blame me. I just thought of something again, except for the eldest princess Anxing. Besides, a few years ago... Prince Cheng also came to read the pulse case. Hehe, maybe the eldest princess Anxing forgot for a while and asked him to take a look again. The old man promises that there will be no one else besides them!"

"Uncle Cheng?" Li Hui frowned. "How many years ago did he come? Think about it before answering!" The relationship between Cheng Qing and Princess Anxing is really too strange.Since there is no love between a man and a woman, and no jealousy, it is indeed impossible to tell each other such a deeply hidden secret.But after all, they are bedside people, and Cheng Qing is not surprised to find her Ni Lin.Thinking about it carefully, what role did the Cheng family play in the matter of Princess Anxing?Help her with all your strength?Sit on the sidelines?or--

"Yes... yes... four or five years ago!!" The old doctor hurriedly said, "I remember, it was just before His Royal Highness Prince Pu returned to the capital! At that time, Empress Wende was seriously ill, and people in the capital were in a state of panic... Prince Cheng came over At that time, the old man thought that he wanted to see the pulse case of Empress Wende... Who knew that what he was looking for was the pulse case of His Highness Duke Huai..."

"What?" Princess Changning's eyes suddenly sank, "Is it possible that anyone can see this pulse case if they want?! The Imperial Medical Office kept the pulse cases in the palace from previous years only for collection, but you accepted them without authorization. Money, anyone can look at it if they want?! It's just a bastard!"

The imperial physicians of the imperial medical office are mainly responsible for teaching students, or accepting invitations from noble families in Jingzhong, so they usually do not enter the palace for diagnosis and treatment.Dianzhong Province has set up a Shangyao Bureau, which is responsible for combining imperial medicine and diagnosing prescriptions.The rank of these imperial doctors is much higher than that of the imperial medical department, and their medical skills are also extremely outstanding.

However, many pulse cases in the palace in previous years will be moved to the Imperial Medical Office for preservation.After all, Shangyao Bureau has limited manpower and limited locations.Of course, the pulse case of His Majesty the Emperor will be guarded by a special person, and no one dares to look through it, otherwise he will definitely end up in the same fate as those who conspired against the law.As for the case of Her Majesty the Queen, the concubines of the harem, and the clan kings, they may not be so strictly guarded.Therefore, it is very likely that this old doctor has accepted a lot of bribes.

"How many people have read these pulse cases? Will someone revise them?" Li Hui threatened coldly, "If you don't tell the truth, then go to the prison of Dali Temple!!" If there is a problem, other pulse cases may not be without problems.If you want to check other things in detail at that time, it is very likely that you will never be able to find out again!

The old doctor was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "No one will change it! This old man can already memorize all the pulse cases! I guarantee that no one has ever revised... Back then... Princess Anxing once said the pulse case It was wrong, but later it was confirmed that it was correct, and the old man specially wrote it down, His Highness Duke Huai's pulse case will definitely not be wrong!"

Hearing this, Princess Changning said: "If that's the case, you can go with us for a while." Since there is a person who claims to memorize all the cases, it is of course more reliable than the scattered cases they memorized.As for the verification of these pulse cases, naturally the imperial doctors of Shangyao Bureau should not be alarmed.Fortunately, not only imperial physicians and imperial physicians, but also folk Buddhist and Taoist doctors treated Empress Du.These monks who are either immortal or compassionate are obviously more worthy of their trust.

Afterwards, Princess Changning quietly locked the old doctor surnamed Feng in a certain courtyard.The old imperial doctor worked hard and spent two or three days before writing down all the pulse records of the year that Duke Huai died of illness.Princess Changning secretly compared the pulse case written by him with the original pulse case, and it really did not miss a single word.However, although he swore in every possible way that he would never tell anyone about this and would definitely keep it a secret, Li Hui did not let him go home.

And Princess Changning communicated with the imperial medical office again, let him go home to be raised, and handed over his original task of guarding the pulse case to his son.After hearing this, old doctor Feng was overjoyed, and felt that this leisurely job was not cheap for outsiders.He flattered and thanked Li Hui and Princess Changning in every possible way, and hurriedly agreed to live in Prince Pu's mansion temporarily, and then go to Princess Changning's mansion to help educate the medical girl.

Then, the two cousins ​​came to Anren Hall with the old doctor and pulse case.At their request, Empress Du deliberately left several Buddhist and Taoist doctors in the side hall, imploring them to help.The monks were naturally merciful, but it was nothing more than a little effort, and they all nodded and agreed to help.

After reading the pulse records, all the Buddhist and Taoist doctors believed that King Huai's illness had developed traces, and there was nothing unusual: "This patient has been weak since he was a child, and he has been suffering from cold and sickness all year round. Therefore, he accidentally contracted the disease. After the wind and cold, I became weaker and weaker. The doctor's diagnosis was not wrong, and the prescriptions were prescribed to the symptoms. However, after the symptoms became more acute, it seemed that even the medicine could not be given anymore, so acupuncture was used again."

"The doctors at that time had done their best. Even if we were asked to save people, it would only be a delay for a while. Amitabha, this is the fate, the karma of reincarnation that has been predestined for a long time."

After Li Hui saluted and thanked the Taoist and Buddhist doctors, Princess Changning personally sent them out of Anren Hall.

Looking at the pulse case that almost covered the entire side hall, Li Hui glanced at the old doctor Feng next to him: "Uncle Huai's pulse case was written by a straight chief of the Shangyao Bureau. Yao? Now there is no imperial physician named Yao in Shangyao Bureau, does the old imperial physician know where he went?" Maybe you can ask this imperial physician directly to know more about the past.But it is more likely that this Royal Physician Yao was secretly removed by Princess Anxing long ago.

The old doctor Feng thought for a while, and said: "...I remember that the one who was promoted to the imperial physician before almost became the imperial physician. Later, he seemed to offend a certain concubine in the palace and was demoted to the imperial physician. He was relegated to the doctor of the imperial medical office. A few years ago, he seemed to have misdiagnosed some honorable man, and he was retaliated against, and was exiled to Lingnan for two thousand miles."

Shangyao Bureau has the highest imperial status, and it is an imperial doctor who specializes in diagnosis and treatment of saints, and its rank is Zhengwupin.This can be said to be the highest official position that a doctor can confer.Under the Imperial Physician is the Imperial Physician, at the top of the sixth rank; and under the Imperial Physician is Zhichang, at the top of the seventh rank; under the Zhichang, there is a Siyi, at the bottom of the eighth rank.The highest official order of the imperial medical department is only from the seventh rank, the imperial physician and the medical supervisor are from the eighth rank, and the doctor is only from the ninth rank.

This Imperial Physician Yao's medical skills are obviously good, and the pulse case he wrote when he was young can be unanimously recognized by Buddhist and Taoist doctors, so it is certainly impossible to easily make any mistakes such as misdiagnosis.However, he offended people who shouldn't be offended one after another, and his rank was lowered again and again, and then he was exiled to Lingnan——

All of this must have been written by Princess Anxing!And with her temperament, it is very likely that Yao imperial doctor was killed while in exile... Moreover, his family members and grandchildren may also be implicated.How innocent to die for an unwarranted crime! !

Of course, in order to find out the truth of the year, it is still necessary to send Buqu to Lingnan to search carefully.In addition, it should be impossible for Princess Anxing to find out and kill all of the inconspicuous figures such as Siyi and Yaotong who were with Imperial Doctor Yao at that time.And they may also know part of the truth.

Old doctor Feng quietly glanced at the young county king, and suddenly coughed lightly, as if trying to get his attention.

Li Huixun looked at his reputation—this old doctor, Xu, had been working all the year round, and he had a bit of a mischievous look, which was really hard to be trusted.However, such a character, if used well, can also bring great benefits. "Does the old doctor have anything to say?"

"I don't know if your majesty and your lord have checked His Highness Huai's pulse case, and if they feel that there is something wrong with it..." Old doctor Feng considered his words, "Princess Anxing also had a big fuss back then, and the late emperor and empress Wende personally Have the Shangyao Bureau and the Imperial Medical Office examine the pulse record and the prescription, and confirm that they are correct. Later, Imperial Physician Yao was promoted to serve as an Imperial Physician, there must be nothing wrong..."

"We just want to know why Aunt Anxing made such a fuss back then." Li Hui said flatly.

The old doctor Feng looked up at him quickly, then quickly lowered his eyelids: "The old man has memorized all the pulse records, and just remembered. The day when Duke Huai suffered from the cold, it was like the deposed prince and Wei Wei at that time. The king—His Royal Highness King Pu has called the doctors and left a pulse report."

Li Hui's eyes shrank suddenly: "The doctor they called was the imperial physician or the imperial physician?!" So, it was the turn of Imperial Physician Yao, who was only straight and long, to diagnose King Huai who was seriously ill with wind and cold!
