I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

On the night of the 16th day of the first lunar month, in the capital of Dayao, Jingning City, the Emperor of Dayao Palace was in Tai'an Hall where he handled government affairs. The Emperor's bedroom was Minghe Hall. Concubine Mu's bedroom was Zichao Hall, the Empress' bedroom was Jiuhuang Hall, the Third Prince Qizhen's bedroom was Ruining Hall, and the Sixth Prince Qizhu's bedroom was Jingde Hall.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, everyone in Rongguo Mansion spent the day in fear. At night, Li Wan, who was the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, was the first to know that a maid, Madam Sun, who was responsible for taking care of the fruit trees, flowers and plants, was missing. When she sent someone out to look for her carefully, she was found to have fainted in the servants' room.

Li Wan immediately ordered a doctor to check her out. After taking a dose of medicine, Nanny Sun woke up. She hurriedly reported to Li Wan how she had fainted. Li Wan knew that an important guest had come to the house, and realized the seriousness of the matter, so she immediately reported it to Grandmother Jia.

At that time, Grandmother Jia immediately summoned all the masters of Rong Mansion. Except for the young ladies and the young masters, the brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng, the second wives of Xing and Wang, Feng Ji and Li Wan were all in Rong Xi Hall.

Jia's mother was leaning on the couch, her back against a soft golden pillow, holding an agarwood cane in her hand, pounding the ground vigorously, making a "dong dong dong" sound. The people around her all knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Grandmother Jia said solemnly, "You all know that the current emperor has suffered an acute stroke. Although the imperial concubine and her son have blocked the news, it is only for their own benefit! Now there is no one in power in our huge Ning and Rong mansions. They are just relying on the false reputation of their ancestors to maintain their past arrogance! Each of you should have some sense of propriety. As for anything that has a stake in the court, our mansion should not be involved in anything!"

At this time, Jia She said cautiously: "Mother, what you said is reasonable. She wanted us not to be involved in that unreasonable vortex. But mother, don't forget that since Taizu founded the country, our family has been awarded the title of Duke by virtue of military merit."

Jia Zheng went on to say, "Since the founding of our country, the four kings and eight dukes have always been united and inseparable, so mother need not worry about the affairs of the court."

Wang Xifeng said proudly at this time: "The four princes and eight dukes only followed Taizu in his conquests and had the merit of building the country. In the current emperor's generation, they also had the merit of supporting him to ascend the throne. But the current prince is the son of Concubine Mu. Not only has the son of Empress Chen been abolished, but now both mother and son are dead. In my opinion, we should abandon darkness and join the light, follow our Wang family and Shihou family, and support Concubine and her son. In this way, when the prince inherits the throne, we will naturally benefit from it."

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Li Wan were quiet and didn't say much. After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Jia's mother pointed at her and said, "Especially you, monkey, you have to be careful this time! I know that the four kings and eight dukes will rise and fall together, but in this major event of changing the country, sometimes it seems clear-cut, but it may not be. The situation is bizarre and unpredictable, and the secrets of heaven are unpredictable."

Wang Xifeng was feeling proud of her father's military power. She smiled and replied to Lady Jia, "Don't worry, Grandma. Didn't our family support His Majesty and make contributions in the past? Now we can support the prince as well! Everyone in the world is here for profit!"

When Grandmother Jia heard this, she said to everyone with a serious face: "Listen to me! The court is a place where people are killed without bloodshed! You all should weigh your heads first! How could our Madam Sun faint in the servants' room for no reason?! The queen and the prince could die tragically without any reason, how capable are you?! Feng Lazi, you are our daughter-in-law now, you can just enjoy the glory of the Wang family, don't rely on your cleverness to get involved! When it comes to real action, women in the cosmetics pile are far less vicious than men!"

Wang Xifeng quickly suppressed her previous arrogance, bowed her head and said in shame, "Yes! I will remember the teachings of our ancestors!"

Madam Xing wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Take the scene in the sky today for example. Who among us has ever seen it? It was terrifying, wasn't it?!"

Madam Wang also clasped her hands and said, "I think it was just a temporary incident in the court, and the outcome was hard to determine. Today, the maids in the mansion were harmed by those spies. Who knows what will happen tomorrow. We'd better keep quiet."

Li Wan reported, "Madame Sun was knocked unconscious today. It is said that a young girl in black changed her clothes and disguised herself to sneak into our house. I still have the clothes of this young lady! I think this young lady is still hiding in our house. Who knows how many inappropriate things she will find out about us and report them to us!"

This made everyone alert immediately. Grandmother Jia ordered: "We must quickly find this female spy, teach her a lesson, and secretly keep her alive so that she will not have the heart to harm people again."

Everyone came up with ideas at once, and the discussion lasted until late at night, and only dispersed when Lady Jia became tired.
