The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

“Knock, knock, knock…” Ye Xiaohan tapped the table with his slender fingers and said faintly, “It took so long to come up with a result. An ordinary doctor would have figured it out long ago.”

Doctor Shi's face turned pale. He knew that his diagnosis was empty and of little use. Any other doctor, no matter how poor his medical skills were, could easily diagnose a person's weak pulse.

Doctor Shi nodded and admitted, "Please forgive me, my Lord and Princess, my medical skills are limited."

"Haha," Yun Mujiu sneered, "Since Imperial Doctor Shi said his medical skills are limited, why did he dare to treat the prince and me? Did Imperial Doctor Shi really diagnose my condition correctly?"

Ye Xiaohan took over the conversation and added: "Could it be that you think that the king and the princess are unwell and are just checking them casually?"

Doctor Shi was overwhelmed by Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan's questioning and didn't know how to answer. After thinking again and again, he replied cautiously: "I have no such intention. The emperor is concerned about the prince and the princess, so he specially sent me here. I will treat the prince and the princess with all my heart and soul!"

Eunuch Li was panicking, wondering why Doctor Shi hadn't found anything useful. He remembered the task the Emperor had given him - to check the physical conditions of Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.

"My Lord and Princess, Doctor Shi may be a little nervous as it's his first time at the palace." He walked a few steps to Doctor Shi's side and explained, "The Emperor has always valued Doctor Shi, and his medical skills in the Imperial Hospital are second to none."

Eunuch Li's words not only found an excuse for Imperial Physician Shi, but also implied that even the Emperor was using Imperial Physician Shi, so Imperial Physician Shi wouldn't have any major problems.

Eunuch Li's help seemed to have given Doctor Shi a backbone. Doctor Shi suggested, "How about I take the pulse of the princess again?"

There shouldn't be any problems this time...

If taking the princess' pulse fails the first time, maybe the princess' pulse will be normal if you take it again.

Ye Xiaohan turned his head, looked at Yun Mujiu steadily, and left the decision to Yun Mujiu.

"What do you think, Princess?"

"I think we can let Doctor Shi try again," Yun Mujiu smiled slightly, "Maybe it's because my constitution is special and difficult to diagnose. Even the several doctors that the prince hired before took my pulse several times before they realized that my constitution was weak."

Ye Xiaohan turned around and looked at Doctor Shi, "Doctor Shi, please hurry up. The king and the princess still need to take a nap."

"Yes, sir! Thank you, Your Highness and Princess! I'll be quick!" Doctor Shi was afraid that if he took any more time, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu would not let him see the patient.

He took Yun Mu's pulse again, and finally this time the pulse was that of a living person. Doctor Shi's brows relaxed, then frowned. Why is it a dead pulse again?

He looked up at Yun Mujiu and observed his expression.

Yun Mujiu looked calm, his face a little pale, and asked, "How is it this time?"

Normal people don't have a pulse that alternates between a vital pulse and a dead pulse. Doctor Shi could only suppress his panic and tell the normal pulse: "Princess, you have both qi and blood deficiency, and your blood and qi are not in harmony. You also have spleen damage caused by a long-term illness."

"Yes. A doctor did say so before."

"Then I will write a prescription for you, and then you can have someone boil the medicine according to the prescription, okay?"

"Yes," Yun Mujiu agreed. "By the way, the Ye Palace warehouse has a lot of medicine, so don't bother the emperor to worry about sending more medicine." She didn't want the emperor to get the chance and send someone to the Ye Palace to deliver medicine. It would be so troublesome to receive people from the palace!

Doctor Shi and Eunuch Li looked at each other. Eunuch Li shrugged his shoulders with helplessness in his eyes: The princess has refused, what else can we do!

Doctor Shi immediately wrote down the prescription and handed it to Butler Zeng. Feeling relieved, he leaned towards Ye Xiaohan and said, "Your Majesty, may I examine you now?"

"Ah."

Not long after, Doctor Shi came to the conclusion: "The prince was injured on the battlefield and on the way back to Beijing. His internal and external injuries are serious and he has not fully recovered yet. He still needs to be well nursed back to health."

Great! Your Majesty's pulse is normal, so I don't have to make up a diagnosis.

Moreover, the prince is in very poor health, with residual poison in his body, and he can't even stand up! What good news!

Doctor Shi took a step back and stood in front of Ye Xiaohan, "Your Majesty, the prescription..."

Ye Xiao said coldly: "No need."

Doctor Shi chuckled inwardly. It didn't matter if he didn't have a prescription. He knew that Ye Xiaohan had no hope of returning to his former peak physical condition.

Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to have Doctor Shi examine your legs as well?"

"Get out." Ye Xiaohan said just one word without even giving him a look.

Eunuch Li was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees: "It was I who spoke too much!"

He then sighed helplessly inwardly: After Ye Xiaohan's legs became paralyzed, he hated it when others mentioned the word "legs".

As for Doctor Shi, he didn't even dare to mention checking the condition of Ye Xiaohan's legs.

He took Yun Mujiu's pulse twice, and he doubted that his medical skills were not good enough to completely find out Yun Mujiu's specific symptoms. If there were any changes in his legs, and he couldn't find out the condition clearly, it was possible that King Yama Ye Xiaohan would kill him.

Anyway, he now knows that Ye Xiaohan has a weak constitution and cannot stand up!

What no one noticed was that Ye Xiaohan lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the gleam of light that flashed in his eyes.

He exerted some internal strength and pressed a few acupoints in advance, so that Doctor Shi would not be able to diagnose his true condition and only let Doctor Shi know a little bit of what the emperor wanted to know.

I guess someone will be here soon.

Sure enough, a personal guard walked in, saluted first to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, and then saluted to Ye Chufeng.

The guard was holding a black bundle, which should contain a small wooden box. "Your Highness, it's time to use the medicine. Do you want to use the herbs in the small box?"

Small box?

Doctor Shi and Eunuch Li could not wait to glance at the guards and silently examined the bundle.

Ye Xiaohan pointed to another table and said, "Put it there first." He did not let his guards put the bag on the square table between him and Yun Mujiu.

The guard nodded, walked to another round table, and gently placed the bag.

Ye Chufeng was a little curious. Why did the Ye Mansion package the medicinal materials like this? They packed the medicine in a medicine box and also packed it in a bundle.

He asked, "Uncle, is this the medicine you or aunt want to take?" He wanted to know more about Yun Mujiu's current situation.

Ye Xiaohan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Yeah." He did not answer directly, but just responded vaguely.

Seeing that Ye Xiaohan had no intention of saying anything, Ye Chufeng smiled and did not continue to ask.

Doctor Shi and Eunuch Li pretended to look at Ye Chufeng, but their eyes were actually directed at the bundle on the round table.

Ye Xiaohan watched everyone's actions with cold eyes, and said impatiently: "The imperial decree has been issued, someone send the guests away."

A group of tall guards appeared at the door, and Wei Song made a gesture of invitation, "Everyone, please."

Eunuch Li felt that it would be too late if he didn't speak up now. "Your Majesty, I have something else to say. May I ask you?"

"explain."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor also said that if the Ye Mansion needs any medicinal herbs, you can just let the palace know and the Emperor will have someone find the herbs for the Ye Mansion."

After receiving a look from Ye Xiaohan, Butler Zeng said to Eunuch Li, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, there are already many medicines stored in the palace warehouse."

Eunuch Li put on a professional smile and said, "I see. If the Ye Mansion needs any medicine, please let me know."
