I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

On the second day of the first lunar month, in Jingning City, the capital of the Dayao Dynasty, the incident took place in the Emperor's bedroom, Minghe Hall, the concubine's bedroom, Zichao Hall, and the headquarters of the Shadowless Army, Nether City.

After a fierce battle between Bai Hexian and Qi Zhen, Bai Hexian was seriously injured and was immediately sent to the headquarters - Nether City. He lay on the sickbed, his lips were blue and purple, and his whole body was trembling. Twelve subordinates surrounded him, and they were also anxiously circling around him.

These twelve subordinates are the mayors of the twelve sub-cities of Nether City. They are: Golden Cicada, Golden Turtle, Night Candle, Flower Thief, Tingyi, Du Bo, Tianlong, Hu Feng, Tang Lang, Happy Spider, Longniu and Nightingale. Each of them is highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless, and is also a master of refining and using poisons. For many years, they have been in collusion with Concubine Mu and her son, and have killed many loyal and good people. In the martial arts world, the people of Nether City have always been chilling, because they often kill people silently and invisibly, and their methods are extremely vicious and outrageous. They are called the "Shadowless Army" or the "Ghost Army".

Since the power that Bai Hexian cultivated was of the fire nature, every time he was injured, his whole body felt as if it was burned by a raging fire, with excruciating pain. So after this serious injury, he also slept on an extremely cold ice bed to relieve himself from the pain a little.

Later, the twelve city lords joined together and used their extremely cold and chilling internal energy to heal him. After a long time, the burning sensation in his body slowly subsided. However, he knew that this injury was more serious than before, and his internal energy and martial arts were probably seriously damaged. As for how much internal energy he still had, it would take until his injury healed a little and he could practice and regulate his breathing to know.

Concubine Mu and her son in the Purple Palace received the news that Bai Hexian had failed in his operation and was seriously injured. They were really disappointed with him this time, and they even secretly wanted to find someone more powerful to use. Since Lin Daiyu and An Wuxia were not successfully captured, Concubine Mu and her son were in a difficult situation now. They must strive for more opportunities to ascend to the throne, so that they can become more powerful. Right Prime Minister Gao Ming and Left Grand Commandant Shi Tao,

Concubine Mu's eyes flickered and she came up with a plan. She brought the crown prince Qizhu to visit the emperor who was recovering from a stroke. Fortunately, since An Wuxia performed minimally invasive surgery on the emperor and prescribed a magical prescription, the emperor gradually got better.

However, An Cheng, the head of the Imperial Hospital, was very puzzled. His Majesty's stroke was very serious, and it was not easy to save his life. How could he recover so well recently? It was really puzzling. He didn't know that the emperor's trusted eunuch Shi Chengyu had people secretly replace the medicine boiled by the Imperial Hospital in order to conceal his tracks. The emperor took the medicine instructed by An Wuxia, and only then did he recover very quickly.

Seeing the emperor trembling and being supported to walk a few steps off the bed, Concubine Mu and the prince were so happy. Concubine Mu started her stunning performance again: "Oh, Your Majesty! Thank God, you are finally getting better and can walk off the dragon bed! I kneel before the Buddha day and night to pray for you, and swear that as long as Your Majesty can get better, I am willing to give up 20 years of my life. It seems that the Buddha has finally agreed to my request!"

The emperor, as always, smiled gently and said slowly, "I got sick... suddenly... you and your son... were frightened!..."

Concubine Mu came forward personally to support the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? You are my heaven, my support. Everything that I and the prince have is given by your Majesty. If anything happens to you, won't I follow you?!" After saying this, she wiped her tears with her handkerchief, and the tears fell down her face. She was truly heartfelt.

The emperor saw that Prince Qizhu was lost in thought, so he gently held his hand and motioned for him to sit down so that the two could talk together.

The prince immediately grasped the emperor's hand and said, "Father! You were able to turn danger into safety this time. In addition to An Cheng and the doctors' full efforts to save you, I think the most important thing is that you are diligent in government, love the people, and have a kind heart. God will protect you."

The emperor looked at the prince expectantly and said, "I will not only reward An Cheng handsomely, but I will also choose a beautiful and virtuous princess consort for my son!"

When Concubine Mu heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your health has just improved. The matter of selecting a crown princess will take a long time, so there is no need to rush."

The crown prince Qi Zhu also said shyly: "I understand your father's good intentions. After you recover, I will leave it to you." The emperor was delighted to hear this.

Not long after the imperial concubine and her son left, the emperor sat on the dragon couch and dismissed his attendants. The only person left in front of him was his trusted old man Shi Chengyu.

The emperor was very sober at this moment and said: "Shi Chengyu, there is no outsider here at the moment, why don't you tell me which miracle doctor is treating me?!"

Shi Chengyu knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, it is naturally the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, An Cheng from a family of imperial doctors!"

The emperor excitedly slapped the dragon couch with his right hand and said, "I want you to tell the truth!"

Shi Chengyu immediately prostrated himself and said, "Your Majesty! I dare not lie! It was An Cheng who treated you!"

The emperor's face was flushed at this time, with a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat. He pointed at Shi Chengyu with his weak and trembling fingers, and coughed - cough - cough... coughing continuously.

Seeing this, Shi Chengyu hurriedly patted his majesty's younger brother and asked him to drink a little warm water. He said with great fear: "Your Majesty! You are recovering your dragon body now. You must not be too excited or worried. It is best to rest."

Later, the emperor's breathing gradually became steady. He said calmly, "I had a severe stroke this time. An Cheng and the imperial doctors only saved my life. This minor wound on my head doesn't look like the acupuncture technique of An Cheng. It's clearly a treatment that penetrates into the bone marrow to clear the blockage. Moreover, the gauze bandage on my head doesn't look like the one used by the Imperial Hospital, and the medicine I've taken in recent days is not prescribed by An Cheng. Who did all this?!"

Shi Chengyu's eyes rolled around, and he thought, "The time is not yet ripe. I dare not tell Your Majesty that it was An Nuo's daughter who cured him." He could only kneel down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really didn't know! It was An Cheng who did his best to treat him all along."

The emperor saw that he really couldn't get anything out of him, so he waved his hand in disappointment and asked Shi Chengyu to leave. Right Prime Minister Gao Ming and Left Grand Commandant Shi Tao were waiting outside the palace, waiting to see the emperor.

Shi Chengyu shook his whisk in shock and said, "Right Prime Minister and Left Grand Commandant, is there anything that cannot be reported to Your Majesty after His Majesty recovers and returns to Tai'an Palace?!"

The emperor heard their conversation and agreed to let the two ministers in. So on the evening of the second day of the first lunar month, the imperial edict was issued: the crown prince would be the regent, the right prime minister and the left general would do their best to assist the crown prince; Concubine Mu would accompany the emperor in the Minghe Hall until his majesty recovered; if there were any military and national affairs that could not be decided, they could be reported to his majesty, who would then seal the imperial seal and execute.

When Concubine Mu heard that His Majesty had ordered the Crown Prince to be the regent, rather than abdicate the throne to him, and that His Majesty had asked her to accompany him, it was clear that he was deliberately preventing the harem from interfering in politics, she realized that her long-planned plan had failed again. She angrily grabbed the imperial edict and rubbed it in her hands, as if tearing it into pieces would not relieve her hatred.
