After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 324: Apologize
After hearing this, Concubine Luo's face changed drastically, and she cried, "Your Majesty, if you really think that Niu Niu has a problem, you don't have to drive her out of the palace. I am not afraid of bad luck. I am willing to raise Niu Niu for a while. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."

Concubine Li said directly: "Lady Luo, His Majesty's words are golden, how can you change them with just a few words?"

Although Lady Luo's position was much lower than that of the Imperial Concubine and she had been punished by her, she still argued for Niuniu: "Your Majesty, I can move to another palace. I am willing to live with Niuniu in the most remote corner of the palace..."

Lady Luo said this on her own initiative, so one can imagine how great the sacrifice was.

Even the emperor looked at her in surprise at this moment.

Niu Niu, who was at the center of the storm, ran to the Queen Mother with her short legs and grabbed her hand.

Looking at the deep affection between the grandfather and grandson, the emperor couldn't help but feel the balance in his heart tilted again.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, how can you allow them to be so presumptuous?" the imperial concubine said softly.

The emperor sighed and was about to give orders to others to take Niu Niu away.

Unexpectedly, Niuniu turned around and ran over, standing in front of the emperor: "Uncle Emperor, if you want to send me out of the palace, I will leave the palace, but can you please ask Doctor Yan, he is a miracle doctor, good at treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases..."

The emperor looked at Niu Niu and saw that she was clearly in danger, but her eyes were still filled with pure concern for the empress dowager.

"Is it Doctor Yan from Baiyun Town?" asked the emperor.

The emperor was well-informed and naturally knew that after retiring from the Imperial Medical Bureau, Imperial Physician Yan had been living in Baiyun Town.

Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "In my heart, Doctor Yan is the best doctor. He will definitely be able to cure the Empress Dowager."

The emperor looked at the imperial physician Li standing beside him and said, "This is the deputy director of the Imperial Hospital."

The implication is that Doctor Li is authoritative enough.

But Niuniu tilted her head and asked, "Is the result of the deputy judge's pulse diagnosis necessarily correct?"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this.

Lady Luo suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is a phoenix-like physique, and now she has suddenly fallen ill. To show your seriousness, I ask Your Majesty to summon all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital for a consultation, and we will definitely be able to find out the cause!"

A hint of panic suddenly flashed across Concubine Li's eyes.

Even Doctor Li had a guilty look on his face, and then he said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's condition is not serious. Once I give her two injections, she will wake up..."

Lady Luo suddenly asked, "Doctor Li, why are you trying to stop the consultation with the imperial physician Zhongwei from the Imperial Hospital?"

Doctor Li immediately said, "My lady, I have been practicing medicine for decades and have treated countless difficult and complicated cases. The Queen Mother is obviously like this because of her old age. How can it be as serious as you say?"

Lady Luo said, "It's not like I don't have elderly people at home. Even if they are weak, it's impossible for them to beat their legs like this! There must be something hidden!"

She just said it casually, but she didn't expect that it would hit the mark.

Doctor Li looked even more guilty.

Lady Luo continued, "Your Majesty, even if the Queen Mother is only slightly ill, it is imperative to summon all the imperial physicians for a consultation and to investigate thoroughly."

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, Qian Rongsheng, you go to the Imperial Hospital in person and consult with the imperial physician."

Qian Rongsheng was the chief eunuch around the emperor, and the emperor asked him to come forward, which meant the matter was a done deal.

The imperial concubine looked at Doctor Li, but Doctor Li lowered his head and didn't even look at her.

Whether the imperial concubine was willing or not, the imperial physician consultation could not be stopped. Qian Rongsheng quickly led the imperial physicians into Shoukang Palace.

The chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau is on leave today and is at home. Other people in the hospital already know the diagnosis of the deputy chief physician, Li Taiyi. After taking their pulses, their expressions vary.

"How?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

At this point, if the emperor still cannot see anything unusual, then he will not have to sit on the throne.

Among the imperial physicians, those with lesser medical skills have already spoken, and their pulse diagnosis results are similar to those of Imperial Physician Li.

But there are still several people who haven't spoken yet.

"Do you think so too?" the emperor asked the few people who had not spoken.

The men looked at each other.

What they are worried about now is that they don't want to offend Imperial Physician Li. Everyone knows that Imperial Physician Li has always been valued by the Queen Mother.

But there are also people who are not afraid of Doctor Li.

Doctor Liu took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, everyone else says that the Queen Mother's illness is caused by her weakness and excessive actions, but I have a different idea."

"Empress Dowager, she's been poisoned!"

Imperial Doctor Liu's words were so shocking that they frightened everyone present to the point of choking.

Concubine Li even said, "Ridiculous! The Empress Dowager is a precious body, who in the palace dares to murder her?"

Imperial Doctor Liu is in his forties. He had been suppressed in the Imperial Medical Bureau because he had offended Imperial Doctor Li in his early years. He finally caught the opportunity of Imperial Doctor Li's misjudgment, so naturally he had to make the matter serious.

"Your Majesty, my diagnosis is absolutely correct. The Empress Dowager was given a chronic poison. If she had not acted excessively today and had not accidentally hit the acupoints on her legs by this little girl, causing the poison in her body to break out prematurely, it would have been difficult to diagnose this case by accident." Imperial Doctor Liu still looked neither humble nor arrogant.

The emperor's face was gloomy at this time, and he asked, "Are you sure you can completely remove the chronic poison in the Empress Dowager's body?"

Doctor Liu said, "Your Majesty, you must have heard of stories about people who are afraid to see doctors for their illnesses. Your Majesty is not yet terminally ill and can still be treated. If you leave her alone and treat her as if she were an ordinary ailment, I'm afraid she will be useless after a while."

When the emperor heard this, he looked at everyone present with a scrutinizing gaze, finally landing on Doctor Li.

"Doctor Li, do you have anything else to say about the Empress Dowager's illness?" the emperor asked.

It has come to this point, so Doctor Li can only go on and make a last-ditch effort: "Your Majesty, no matter how I diagnose, I cannot diagnose that the Queen Mother has been poisoned. Doctor Liu and I have always had a grudge, but I didn't even know that he dared to use the Queen Mother's illness as an excuse!"

The two of them each insisted on their own opinion, and the others remained silent, leading to a stalemate.

The emperor glanced at Qian Rongsheng beside him and said, "Stop the news and invite all the retired doctors in the capital to come here. Don't forget Doctor Yan from Baiyun Town."

The entire Shoukang Palace was surrounded by guards and no one was allowed to go out. Concubine Li's face immediately showed anxiety.

Niu Niu seemed to be unaware of all this. She was lying beside the empress dowager's bed, holding her hand. The words of her prayer came to her lips, but she suddenly swallowed them back.

Zhang Yunniang had taught her this too many times, and Niu Niu would not dare to make a wish again until it was too late to make amends.

The emperor turned around and saw the pitiful appearance of the little girl. Thinking of what he had just said about sending her away, he wanted to apologize, but the words were not so easy to say.

Concubine Li on the side suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, you must be tired after all the noise today, so let me take care of the Queen Mother."
