The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Xiang Ling's pretty face was flushed, but she was retreating, thinking to herself: "Sister Ping'er, who is usually so powerful, was also teased by the third master."

At this moment, there were several knocks on the bathroom door.

Xiangling hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Brother Ying shouted from outside the door: "Sister Xiangling, tell the third master quickly, the palace sent a servant to pass the decree, saying that the imperial concubine has a lung disease, please come into the palace to treat the empress dowager."

Xiangling hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go and inform the third master right away."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lin Yun shouting from inside: "Xiang Ling, bring my clothes in."

"Come on."

...

A while later, Lin Yun dressed neatly and came to the living room outside. He saw a red-faced eunuch who was over forty years old sitting behind a table drinking tea, and there were four servants standing beside him.The housekeeper, Qian Cong, stood by and waited on him carefully.

He walked forward quickly, and saluted the red-faced eunuch, "May I ask you what your name is?"

The red-faced eunuch put down the teacup in his hand, got up and said with a smile, "Our family is Xia Shouzhong, the governor of the Sixth Palace. Today, according to the order of the empress, I have come here to invite the son into the palace to treat the empress dowager's lung disease."

When Lin Yun heard the word Xia Shouzhong, he immediately raised his vigilance, "Boss, can you show me the empress's edict?"

Xia Shouzhong's face turned dark when he heard the words, and he said coldly, "Could it be that Mr. Lin suspects our family's false Chuan Yi decree?"

"Don't dare to go down."

Xia Shouzhong said again: "Your Majesty's transmission is an oral order. If Mr. Lin disobeys and disrespects the order, he should be punished as the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Lin Yun is now in a dilemma, should he enter this palace or not?

After thinking for a while, he said: "I would like to enter the palace with the boss,"

"Hmph! Let's go then."

Xia Shouzhong snorted coldly, then got up and walked out the door.The four servants hurriedly followed, with guards at his side.

Lin Yunchong whispered to Qian Cong: "After I leave, you immediately rush to Rongguo Mansion and tell Brother Lian what happened here and ask him to tell the old lady as soon as possible."

Qian Cong said hurriedly: "Okay."

Chapter 217: The Greatest Filial Piety

The palace where Jia Yuanchun lived was called Fengzao Palace. She was originally a female historian next to the empress dowager, and she lived here after being named a virtuous concubine by the emperor.

Emperor Zhide had a very good relationship with the empress, except that Ning Jue's biological mother had been favored for a while, the emperor seldom visited other concubines.

On the day Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, she was not able to see the emperor, which made her feel very depressed.

As the granddaughter trained by Jia's mother, Jia Yuanchun knew that her mission in entering the palace was to win the emperor's favor and contribute to the continuation of the Jia family's prosperity.

But the emperor's indifference to her made her feel disheartened. If she couldn't even see the emperor's face, no matter how good she was, it would be in vain.

Fortunately, God has favored her once. After meeting Lin Yun last time, she asked to see the emperor under the hint of Dai Quan. Emperor Zhide, who had just extorted 10 taels of silver from Lin Yun, was in a good mood and made an exception in the imperial study. After meeting her, he even reminded her not to forget to give Lin Yun a marriage gift to celebrate his wedding.

That night, Emperor Zhide made an exception and stayed overnight in Fengzao Palace, making her a veritable concubine.

...

That evening, Jia Yuanchun was playing the piano in his bedroom when a court lady came in and reported to him: "My Lady, Mrs. Zhou is asking to see you outside the palace."

The eunuch Zhou was called Zhou Shenyan, and he was the chief servant of Fengzao Guan and Jia Yuanchun's confidant eunuch.

Jia Yuanchun quickly stood up and said, "Quickly tell him to come in and answer."

"Yes."

Not long after the little palace maid went out, she led a middle-aged eunuch in, bowed to Jia Yuanchun and said: "My servant pays homage to the concubine Xian."

Jia Yuanchun raised his hand to support him and said, "My father-in-law is exempt."

"Thank you madam."

Eunuch Zhou stood up straight, and asked softly, "Madam, do you know about General Lin's entry into the palace?"

Jia Yuanchun was stunned when he heard the words: "General Lin? Are you talking about Young Master Lin Yun?"

Eunuch Zhou: "That's right. Brother Jia Lian asked his servants to tell the empress that Lin Shenjiang was ordered by the empress and empress to enter the Shoukang Palace to treat the empress dowager's lung disease not long ago."

Jia Yuanchun was surprised when he heard the words: "The concubine is sick, why didn't I hear the news?"

"The slave does not know."

Jia Yuanchun asked again: "Does Your Majesty know about General Lin's entry into the palace?"

"The servant is in a hurry to deliver a letter to the empress, but I haven't found anyone to inquire about it yet."

After a pause, Zhou Shenyan said again: "Your Majesty, do you want to tell Your Majesty about this?"

Jia Yuanchun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The situation is unclear now, so we cannot inform Your Majesty rashly. In this case, let's go to Shoukang Palace first."

"Your servant respects your life."

...

Shoukang Palace is to the west of the Compassionate Palace, and it is the bedroom where the empress dowager lives.

Lin Yun followed the servants into the Shoukang Palace and saw several imperial physicians standing in the palace, shaking their heads and sighing with helplessness on their faces.

In the direction of the inner palace bedroom, there was a burst of violent coughing from time to time.

Xia Shouzhong rushed to Lin Yun and said, "Young Master Lin, wait here for a moment, let us pass the word when we go in."

"Yes."

When Xia Shouzhong entered, an old doctor in his fifties came over and asked Lin Yun, "What's your name, little brother?"

"My surname is Lin, and my single name is a word cloud."

The elder doctor's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked, "But Mr. Lin who cured the whooping cough for Prince Xuan's grandson?"

"It's down."

"It turns out that it is Mr. Lin, who has admired his name for a long time. This old man is Fu Dan, the main hall of the imperial hospital."

After Fu Dan introduced himself, he waved to several imperial physicians next to him, wanting to introduce them to Lin Yun.

At this moment, Xia Shouzhong came out from the hall and called out to Lin Yun: "Young Master Lin, quickly come in with our house."

"Yes."

Lin Yunchong cupped his hands with several imperial physicians, and then walked into the hall with Xia Shouzhong.

The two walked into a spacious bedroom, and Lin Yun was surprised to find that Emperor Zhide and a beautiful woman in palace attire were standing beside the brocade couch, looking worriedly at the imperial physician who was sitting in front of the veil and was diagnosing the patient's pulse. , Lin Yun still knew that person, he was the doctor Wang who treated Jia Lian's injuries.

When Lin Yun was in a daze, Xia Shouzhong scolded him: "Mr. Lin, why are you not polite when you see Your Majesty and Empress?"

Lin Yun hurriedly rushed to Emperor De and the woman in palace costume to salute: "Your Majesty Lin Yun pays homage to His Majesty and Empress."

Emperor Zhide nodded slightly and said, "Excuse me."

The woman in palace attire was Empress Zhang, she said anxiously to Lin Yun: "General Lin, is it true that Doctor Wang said you can cure lung disease?"

Lin Yun: "Reporting to the Empress, if it's just a lung disease, I can indeed cure it. If there are other diseases, I'm not sure that I can cure it."

The queen hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

When Emperor Zhide was hesitating, he heard a woman's hoarse voice coming from the veil, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let, cough, cough, let him try."

Emperor Zhide ordered Wang Jiren, "Prince Wang, please ask General Lin to diagnose the pulse of the concubine."

"The minister respects the decree."

Wang Jiren stood up and gave Lin Yun the position of pulse diagnosis.

Lin Yun walked over and sat down, and saw a woman's arm with pale skin and slender fingers sticking out from the gauze curtain. It didn't look like an old man's arm at all.

He placed three fingers on the woman's pulse gate and focused on the pulse.

After about a few minutes, he rushed to Emperor De and asked, "Your Majesty, is the empress dowager suffering from heart disease?"

Before Emperor De could speak, the woman in the veil said first: "General Lin is right, I am indeed suffering from heart disease."

Emperor Zhide hurriedly asked, "Is there any hindrance?"

Lin Yun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go out and discuss with Doctor Wang."

Emperor Zhide: "Yes."

Lin Yun invited Wang Jiren outside the hall, and asked him, "Mr. Wang, does the concubine have any other illnesses?"

Wang Jiren: "No. However, the concubine's heart disease is very difficult, and there are many medicines for lung disease that must be used with caution."

Lin Yun: "In this way, you can prescribe a medicine for empress dowager to moisten the lungs and relieve cough, and treat it together with my medicine."

Wang Jiren hurriedly asked: "Are there any taboos in the prescription?"

Lin Yun: "You just need to pay attention to the concubine's heart disease, and show me after you finish prescribing the prescription."

"Okay, I see."

The two were discussing the prescription when they saw Jia Yuanchun walking into the hall surrounded by maids of honor.

Seeing Lin Yun and Wang Jiren together, Jia Yuanchun hesitated for a moment, but still didn't come, but went straight to the dormitory.

Lin Yun nodded secretly when he saw it. This big sister is still very smart and knows that filial piety is the greatest.

...

At this moment, Emperor Zhide led Dai Quan out of the hall, and asked Lin Yun, "How is your discussion going? Can the concubine's lung disease be cured as soon as possible?"

Lin Yun rushed to Emperor De and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I want to go back to the mansion to make medicine overnight. Please ask the imperial doctor Wang to prescribe the medicine first, so as to recuperate the body of the concubine."

Emperor Zhide frowned and said, "Is there no stock of your lung disease medicine?"

Lin Yun: "The medicine is extremely difficult to make, and it will lose its effect if it is not used for a long time after it is made."

Emperor Zhide hurriedly said: "Okay, then you should hurry back to your residence and make the medicine as soon as possible. If you need anything, you can ask Dai Quan to help you."

"The minister respects the decree."
