good season

Chapter 132: Who has the best skills in complaining (two chapters in one)

The emperor is in his prime, several old empresses are still in good health, and there are no pregnant concubines in the palace for the time being. Therefore, the Imperial Medical Bureau has a relatively easy time during this period. For example, tonight, only three imperial doctors are scheduled to be on duty.

But no one expected that at only three o'clock in the morning, two of the three imperial doctors were already out seeing patients.

The old imperial physician Han went to the Marquis Baoqing's mansion, and the other imperial physician Zhu went to the Ministry of Justice.

The Han family and the Jiang family are known as the two heroes of medicine. Eighty percent of the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau come from these two families. There are three doctors called Old Han alone. Although the doctor Zhu who went to the Ministry of Justice had neither the surname Han nor Jiang, he was from the Jiang family and he was Jiang's disciple.

The imperial physician who stayed behind was a marginalized group in the Imperial Medical Service - he was recruited from the common people.

This is also an unwritten rule in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Whenever there is a night shift, the number of people on duty is three, six, nine, or twelve. This is a multiple of three. It can be imagined that the number of doctors from the Han family, the Jiang family, and the folk doctors is equal.

For the Imperial Medical Bureau, going out to see patients was a good job, because the families of the patients would give them red envelopes, which did not need to be handed in, and were the imperial physician's remuneration. Of course, this was also clear and known to everyone. The difference was that some sensible ones would give part of their remuneration to their mentors or superiors, while those who were not so sensible would just put it into their own pockets with peace of mind.

There are two families tonight, one is the Dinghaishenzhen of Baoqing Marquis Mansion, and the other is the eldest son of Weiguo Duke Mansion. These two are definitely generous, so this good job was divided between Imperial Physician Han and Imperial Physician Jiang. As for the other imperial physician who came from the folk, I'm sorry, the palace is more important, you stay, you can do it!
After leaving the Imperial Medical Bureau, Old Doctor Han went straight to the Mansion of Marquis Baoqing. As a highly respected old doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau, this was not the first time that Old Doctor Han came to the Mansion of Marquis Baoqing.

In his opinion, although Madam Wei was in good health, she was old after all. An old lady who lived a comfortable life would suffer from diseases of the rich. Although he had not examined her before, Doctor Han already knew that the disease could not be cured and she could only be taken care of. Moreover, she could not get excited.

Doctor Han lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked the servant who came to invite people, "Is the mansion quiet?"

Anything that could make Old Madam Wei excited must be something that happened in the mansion. In all likelihood, something happened in the Baoqing Marquis's mansion.

The servant hesitated, "Quiet, quiet."

Old Imperial Physician Han became even more certain that something had happened at Marquis Baoqing’s Mansion!
As expected, as soon as he entered the mansion, Doctor Han was shocked. It was the dead of night and the Baoqing Marquis's mansion was as bright as day. All the maids and servants were still in shock. Doctor Han even heard a woman crying.

Oh, could it be that he was a step too late and Madam Wei is dead?

Old Doctor Han felt a little regretful and thought he should switch with Doctor Jiang. He was old and didn't want to attend funerals, which would affect his lifespan.

Amidst his anxiety, Old Doctor Han walked into Chunhui Hall and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Wei is not dead, she is still alive, but she doesn't look very well.

Old Madam Wei had already woken up. She was leaning on the brocade couch with a pair of relaxed eyes that were unfathomable.

Madam Ma, the second wife, the third wife and the fifth wife were all attending to the patient. Although old doctor Han was a man from outside, he was old, so the ladies did not avoid him and stood by.

After taking the pulse and prescribing a prescription, Old Doctor Han told the old lady to relax, took the red envelope, and left.

After leaving Baoqing Marquis's Mansion, Doctor Han breathed a sigh of relief and asked his medicine boy, "Did you find out what happened in the Marquis's Mansion just now?"

The medicine boy said, "Master was right. Something really happened in the Baoqing Marquis's Mansion. At dinner today, Master Yan came to the mansion and arrested Master Zhu in front of the old lady in Chunhui Hall. Now Master Zhu is in the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

Doctor Han was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to speak. He thought for a moment, then said to the medicine boy, "You don't have to go back to the Imperial Hospital with me. Go to Su's Pharmacy now and tell Su Datou about this. Ask him to pass it on to Master Zhen. Go now!"

The medicine boy agreed, jumped off the carriage and disappeared into the night.

In the middle of the night, there was a loud knock on the door of Su's Tea Shop. The big yellow dog barked and ran to Su Datou's bed, then pawed him in the face.

Although Su Datou hired a waiter, at night, there were only him and the big yellow dog in the teahouse.

He was awakened by a big yellow dog. He sat up yawning. The big yellow dog grabbed the corner of his clothes and dragged him out. Only then did Su Datou wake up from his nap. Was there someone knocking on the door outside?

He walked to the door reluctantly and asked through the door: "We don't do business at night, let's go somewhere else."

The unpleasant voice of a young doctor came from outside the door: "I am Xiaosong who works for Old Doctor Han. My master asked me to come and talk to you about something."

Su Datou also remembered, yes, it was that Xiaosong, that drake voice was quite recognizable.

Only then did Su Datou open the door. A moment later, Xiaosong took a bag of pine nuts and left happily.

However, Su Datou couldn't sleep anymore. As soon as it was dawn, he locked the door, went to Ruyifang, and told Xiao Zhen the news.

The next morning, Zhao Shiqing got up early, took Lingbo and Xiuxiu, and went to the street to inquire about the news.

The best place to get information is the breakfast shop.

But today was a little special. Before she even reached the breakfast shop, she heard someone talking about "Hero Yan".

Zhao Shiqing suppressed her curiosity and walked into the breakfast shop.

As soon as she sat down at the table by the window, she saw the uncle opposite her talking excitedly about what he had seen last night.

"You all know that my wife works in the Earl's Mansion in Yan'an. She was supposed to be on duty last night, but she had a stomachache, so I went to the Earl's Mansion to ask for leave for her.

Before I even reached the Bo's house, a group of people walked past me. I looked at the person leading them, and who else could it be but Hero Yan?

Seeing that they were heading to the Baoqing Marquis's Mansion, I spoke to the doorman of the Bo's Mansion, asked for leave for my wife, and went to the Baoqing Marquis' Mansion to watch the excitement. However, as soon as I arrived at the door, I was driven away by the people from the Ministry of Justice. They were very loud and fierce, so I had no choice but to walk away. Alas, I didn't see any of the excitement that was right in front of me. "

Zhao Shiqing narrowed his eyes slightly. Yan Xia actually went to Baoqing Marquis Mansion overnight last night. It was a pity that he didn't know whether Zhu Yu had been captured.

It is not easy to arrest someone at the Baoqing Marquis Mansion.

Zhao Shiqing felt a little regretful. She should have let Xiaoguai continue to stay with Baoqing Hou. Zhu Yu came back, and Zhao Shiqing was worried that Xiaoguai's "identity" would be exposed, and people would know that it was not the eagle raised by Zhu Yu. What would Zhao Shiqing do if an arrow shot the child again? So she let Xiaoguai come back.

As a result, she missed out on first-hand information.

Zhao Shiqing was unwilling to give up, so after breakfast, he took Ling Bo to continue to inquire about the news.

God helps those who work hard, and she finally found out that Zhu Yu was taken to the Ministry of Justice last night!
What Zhao Shiqing could not have imagined was that before the emperor finished his morning court session, Madam Wei entered the palace supported by Madam Ma, the Marquis.

She sat opposite Concubine Li, her eyes were fierce and her teeth were gnashing. Even Concubine Li, who had known her for decades, shuddered when she met her gaze.

Is this a murder? Madam Wei really wants to kill someone. She wants to cut Yan Xia into pieces!
At the same time, in the court, Emperor Yongjia was looking at Duke Weiguo who was kneeling in the Golden Palace. Next to Duke Weiguo was a door panel, and lying on it was Duke Weiguo's beloved son Yan Xia.

Yan Xia was carried in. There are medical records from the Imperial Hospital to prove that Yan Xia had multiple wounds on his head, shoulders, back, lower back and thighs last night. The worst of them was on his head, with a wound about three inches long, deep enough to see the bone, and bleeding profusely. It was a fatal injury.

In other words, Yan Xia almost died.

The vigorous and energetic hero Yan was beaten all over and almost lost his life.

It was clearly written in the medical record that if Yan Xia had not been in good health, the wound on his head alone would have cost him his life.

In other words, the reason why Yan Xia is still alive at this moment is not because the murderer showed mercy, but because Yan Xia is in good health and the ancestors of the Yan family have appeared in spirit.

What surprised all the civil and military officials even more was that the murderer who almost beat Yan Xia to death was none other than the old lady in the Baoqing Marquis Mansion!
The whole court was in an uproar. Is this true or false?
Duke Weiguo cried bitterly. Who could have thought that such a rough man would cry like a young wife who had suffered a great deal of injustice.

Duke Weiguo: "Your Majesty, I am useless. I can't even protect my own son, how can I protect Your Majesty and the world? I am sorry for you, for the loyal and brave people in my Duke Weiguo Mansion, for the ancestors of the Yan family, and for the people of this world. Woo woo woo."

Emperor Yongjia already knew what happened last night. Zhu Yu was so audacious that he raped and killed his cousin from the Duke of Weiguo's mansion. Yan Xia went to the Marquis of Baoqing's mansion to arrest someone, but was beaten by Madam Wei with the imperial cane until he is now half-dead.

Emperor Yongjia cursed the grandparents and grandchildren of Marquis Baoqing's Mansion in his heart, calling them people who were always causing trouble but could not do anything good. It had only been a short time since they killed the relatives of Prince Liang's Mansion, and now they were attacking the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

Although she was only a distant relative, it was said that the cousin was Yan Xia's designated wife. This was the revenge for his wife's murder and the hatred for his wife's seizure. Yan Xia's temper was such that he did not kill her on the spot, but only brought her back to the Ministry of Justice. This was already giving enough face to the Baoqing Marquisate.

But Madam Wei didn't know what was good for her and actually beat Yan Xia so badly that he was seriously injured.

Now, I want to see how Concubine Li will plead for the grandparents and grandchildren.

Emperor Yongjia had long been dissatisfied with the Baoqing Marquisate. Not only the Baoqing Marquisate, but also anyone who held him back or caused trouble for him, he was dissatisfied.

But because of the presence of Concubine Dowager Li, Emperor Yongjia could only show leniency and give face to the Baoqing Marquisate again and again.

But the Baoqing Marquis Mansion is a typical case of being shameless and not knowing how to restrain oneself. Instead, it has become more and more outrageous and now even dares to step on the Weiguo Duke Mansion.

Emperor Yongjia's face was as gloomy as water: "Ask Marquis Baoqing to the palace."

Lord Zhu did not have to attend court today, so he was happy to have some free time. He did not return home for two days in a row, but stayed in the sisters' outer house, enjoying himself.

The people from the palace first went to the mansion of Marquis Baoqing, but Marquis Zhu was not there. So the servant from last night went to the outer house to look for him. When he arrived, Marquis Zhu was still tossing and turning in the mandarin duck quilt. When he heard that the emperor had summoned him, Marquis Zhu finally got up.

Without even washing his face, he put on his official uniform and went to court. On the way, he asked the servant, "Why did Your Highness suddenly want to see me? Did the person who came to the palace to read out the imperial edict say anything?"

The servant was startled, then he remembered what happened yesterday.

He waited here for a full hour last night, and it was only when a maid came out and saw him that she kindly told him that the marquis had already fallen asleep that he returned home.

Could it be that the Marquis still doesn’t know about what happened in the mansion last night?

"Reporting to the Marquis, yesterday, last night, the prince was arrested by the Ministry of Justice, and the old, old, old lady fainted in anger."

"What?" Lord Zhu almost fainted.

But the emperor was still waiting for him, and Lord Zhu didn't dare to faint. He resisted the urge to faint and had to face the mess before him.

When the servant stammered about what happened yesterday, Lord Zhu asked again, "You said that the old lady hit Yan Xia with the imperial cane? How many times did she hit him? Was Yan Xia injured?"

The servant was about to cry: "He was beaten so many times, and Yan Xia's face was covered in blood. It was horrible to see."

Lord Zhu's heart sank, he was in big trouble.

Yan Xia is just a child, and he is thin-skinned, so he can only swallow his anger and accept defeat. After all, who would mess with an old lady, especially one who is powerful and has connections in the palace?

But the hero of Yan wanted to save his face, but the old man, the Duke of Wei, was not willing to lose face.

Yes, in the eyes of the world, the Duke of Weiguo is a rough and rude man who only knows how to use violence, but Lord Zhu has known him since he was a child. When they were young, they played together and he suffered many losses at the hands of the Duke of Weiguo. Moreover, it was obviously him who suffered losses every time, but others insisted that he was the one who schemed against the Duke of Weiguo.

From childhood to adulthood, Duke Weiguo has always been described by others as an honest child, simple, loyal, outspoken, simple-minded, and a good child who is honest, reliable, and hardworking.

But Lord Zhu knew that the Duke of Wei was just like his son, and had never suffered any loss since childhood. What good person has never suffered any loss?

If someone bites him once, he can bite back ten times.

If someone punches him, he can kick that person ten times.

Even so, he is actually an honest and reliable child.

Therefore, after Lord Zhu suffered several losses at the hands of the Duke of Wei, he kept his distance from him.

When Zhu Yu was a child, Lord Zhu warned him not to provoke Yan Xia.

Zhu Yu and Yan Xia had never been the same kind of people since childhood, and they had never played together. It could be said that they had kept to themselves. Lord Zhu had never dreamed that Zhu Yu and Yan Xia would become mortal enemies.

Last night, the servant heard from the Ministry of Justice that the body dug out from the farm was that of Yan Xia's cousin.

The more Lord Zhu thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhu Yu was able to be so bold because of the old lady's pampering.

Thinking of the old lady, Lord Zhu hurriedly asked, "Has the old lady entered the palace?"

The servant said hurriedly, "They have entered the palace. The Marquis's wife accompanied the old lady to the palace early in the morning."

Lord Zhu let out a long breath. As long as the old lady entered the palace, the matter would be settled.

Zhu Yu is fine!
