I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 54 Jia Yuanchun fearlessly reveals the inside story

On the fifth day of the second lunar month, in Jingning City, the capital of Dayao, the incident happened in the Dayao Palace, the emperor's bedroom, Minghe Hall, and Fengzao Palace, where the imperial concubines raised the ladies.

Prince Zhongshun personally led a large group of people and came to Rongguo Mansion with the imperial edict in hand. He looked so impressive that all the officials in the capital knew what was going on. Concubine Mu and her son were using the old officials as a pretext to eliminate the influence of the Queen and her son's party.

Grandmother Jia wore the imperial robes and got into the sedan chair tremblingly, accompanied by Jia She and Jia Zheng. Her personal maids such as Yuanyang and Amber followed the sedan chair and served her all the time.

Prince Zhongshun rode on a tall horse, followed closely by the Imperial Guards, and marched towards the palace. When they arrived at the palace, Prince Zhongshun immediately informed Shi Chengyu that Jia's mother and her son wanted to see the emperor.

With the help of Jia She and Jia Zheng, Jia's mother trembled as she got off the sedan chair, and then went to the warm pavilion of the Minghe Hall to rest, waiting for the emperor and the imperial concubine to summon her. Prince Zhongshun went straight to the Tai'an Hall where the crown prince handled government affairs.

After a long time, the eunuch summoned Jia's mother and her son to the emperor. Jia's mother knelt down and paid homage to the emperor. The emperor gestured for her to sit down. Only after she sat down did Jia's mother dare to look up at the emperor.

The emperor was recovering from a stroke. After An Wuxia's treatment, he could speak fluently and walk normally, but he was still weak. He was supported by Concubine Mu and sat beside the dragon table. His Majesty asked gently, "I heard that there is a doctor in the old lady's house who has the ability to bring the dead back to life. I wonder if he came with the old lady this time?!"

When Grandmother Jia heard the emperor's direct question, she and her two sons looked at each other for a moment, then said calmly, "Your Majesty, we don't have a doctor in Rongguo Mansion who can bring the dead back to life. When family members are ill, most of the time we still have to trouble the imperial physician to treat them."

The emperor coughed twice and said, "So, the old lady didn't know that there is a miracle doctor in the mansion?!"

Grandmother Jia stood up and was about to pay her respects, but then she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you. Rongguo Mansion has always strictly followed the instructions of the Emperor. There is really no miracle doctor in the mansion."

The emperor then coughed twice and said, "Whose blessing was it that brought the old lady's son-in-law, the former top scholar in the imperial examination and now the Imperial Censor of Salt, Lin Ruhai, back to life?!"

Grandmother Jia replied calmly, "Your Majesty, I don't know the details of this matter. I just heard that she was cured by a maid from the Lin family."

The emperor smiled and said, "Where is this maidservant now?!"

Grandmother Jia said in awe, "This maid's name is Zhaoxia. She is the personal maid of my granddaughter. Late the night before yesterday, my granddaughter was kidnapped, and this maid Zhaoxia followed her. Now her whereabouts are unknown. We in Rongguo Mansion don't know what to do, so we pray for your Majesty's help!"

The emperor was weak, but looking at Lady Jia's expression, he understood about 80% of what happened. He immediately comforted Lady Jia and said, "Who is so bold! How dare you kidnap a noble lady under the emperor's feet?! I will definitely have someone investigate it quickly. I hope the old lady will be at ease."

Concubine Mu on the side smiled and said, "The old lady and the two nobles really don't know the whereabouts of this maid?!"

Jia She and Jia Zheng knelt down together and said, "I really don't know."

Concubine Mu turned around, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile: "In broad daylight, under the feet of the emperor, the daughter of your noble family was kidnapped in the middle of the night. This is outrageous! Fortunately, you are still so calm. Why didn't you report it to the government? You must know their whereabouts!"

Jia She and Jia Zheng exchanged glances, then kowtowed and replied, "We don't know! We are terrified and uneasy! We sincerely hope that Your Majesty will send someone to investigate and seek justice for the Rongguo Mansion."

Here, Concubine Mu secretly gritted her teeth, forced herself to smile calmly and said, "Since Rongguo Mansion was attacked by assassins at night and the daughter of the Lin family was kidnapped, then in order to ensure the safety of the old lady, please stay in the palace for a while until this matter is resolved and you can go back!"

After hearing this, the emperor coughed twice and said, "My beloved concubine, please do not embarrass the old lady! I just want to see this miracle doctor as soon as possible. Since the old lady and the two ministers do not know the truth, then we can quickly send someone to find out."

Concubine Mu bowed and said, "Yes! I will obey the emperor's orders." After that, she supported the emperor and prepared to go to the dragon bed.

When Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng had just stepped out of Minghe Hall, Concubine Mu quietly turned around with her back to the emperor and waved to the imperial guards in front of the hall. In silence, the cold swords "swooshed" at their necks. They were only terrified and dared not make a sound.

When Jia Yuanchun came straight to the Minghe Hall with her personal maid holding the zither, she took a quick look: these iron-clad war-god-like imperial guards were more than twice as many as usual! They surrounded the entire Minghe Hall! Moreover, they all held sharp swords in their hands, wore golden armor, and stood there in high spirits without moving, clearly on standby at all times!

Seeing the battle in front of the Minghe Hall, Baoqin was frightened and immediately slowed down her pace, sticking close to Jia Yuanchun. Yuanchun asked the eunuchs to inform him that she wanted to see His Majesty, but these people didn't even raise their eyelids, as if they were too lazy to pay attention to them.

Seeing this, Jia Yuanchun knelt on the ground and said loudly and respectfully, "Fengzao Palace Lady and Minister Jia Yuanchun, the granddaughter of Duke Rong requests to see Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine for an urgent matter. I hope Your Majesty will grant an audience!" She said this three or four times in a hoarse voice, but there was still no movement in the palace.

At this moment, Jia Yuanchun suddenly stood up, waved her arm to wave away the long sword of the golden armored guard, and ran desperately into the Minghe Hall, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, help me! Your Majesty!" At this moment, the golden armored guard stabbed again with a sword. Jia Yuanchun dodged flexibly, but the sword still landed on his left arm. Immediately, blood gushed out, staining her plain palace dress red.

At this time, Concubine Mu walked out slowly and angrily shouted, "How dare you, Jia Shanggong! How dare you, a mere lady, to trespass into His Majesty's bedroom! Golden armored guards - take them away! Beat them to death immediately!"

Jia Yuanchun was no longer afraid of life or death at this moment. She did not kneel down to worship the imperial concubine, but said to the inside of the palace: "Your Majesty! I have an important matter to discuss with you! I beg Your Majesty to grant me an audience!" At this time, the golden-armored guards were already pulling Yuanchun away.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor came out and said, "All of you step aside! I want to hear what you want to see me about!"

Concubine Mu said gently and considerately: "Your Majesty! It's just a female official who broke into the bedroom. Your Majesty, please don't worry about it. I will handle it."

Unexpectedly, the emperor said sternly, "All of you retreat outside the palace! No one is allowed to come in without my order! Anyone who disobeys my order will be killed without mercy!"

When Concubine Mu saw that the emperor was serious this time, she dared not confront him and quickly led her men to quietly retreat outside the palace.

The emperor looked at Yuanchun and her servant kneeling on the ground, and saw that Yuanchun's left arm was still bleeding, and she did not cover the wound with her hand. It was obvious that she came to the palace without fear of life and death, and there must be something big going on.

Instantly, His Majesty ordered the imperial physician to bandage Yuanchun's wound and stop the bleeding. Seeing that Yuanchun had calmed down, the emperor asked, "What on earth is the matter that made you risk your life to break in here?"

Jia Yuanchun knelt down slowly and cried like rain, "I beg Your Majesty to save my family from danger! It is so difficult for me to see Your Majesty now. My family has come to the emperor to apologize. How can the imperial concubine let them go?!"

The emperor was shocked at this moment. He said, "The imperial concubine has always been gentle and humble. How could she embarrass your family? Besides, Miss Lin was kidnapped. I also ordered a quick investigation to ensure that the case is closed as soon as possible."

Jia Yuanchun kowtowed again, and then said with a fearless attitude: "Your Majesty! The Rongguo Mansion under the emperor's feet actually kidnapped a weak girl in the boudoir in the middle of the night! The purpose was actually to bring back the dead to life!"

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Such a big fuss must be made. Could it be that this miracle doctor is someone extraordinary?!"

Jia Yuanchun wiped away her tears and said, "Your Majesty, please understand! The Prince of Bohai died on his way to his fiefdom, the Empress was trapped in a sea of ​​fire, Lin Tanhua came back to life, Your Majesty gradually recovered from a stroke, the Lin family's cousin was kidnapped, and the maidservant, the female doctor, saved the master... Your Majesty! Looking at the entire Dayao, who can bring the dead back to life?! Why was the miracle doctor assassinated?... Your Majesty, please understand!"

This series of words, without fear of life or death, were powerful and thought-provoking! The emperor was shocked and enlightened. He sat on the couch in shock and waved his hand to signal Jia Yuanchun to leave.

Before leaving, Jia Yuanchun said, "I beg Your Majesty to rescue my family! They must still be in the palace! They must be imprisoned by the golden-armored guards!"

The emperor immediately issued an edict: It is not easy for the old lady of Rongguo Mansion to enter the palace to meet the emperor. I sympathize with human relationships and family affection, so the old lady can temporarily live in Fengzao Palace with her granddaughter to enjoy family life.

With this imperial edict, Concubine Shu Degui immediately led a group of guards to search the palace, and found Lady Jia, Jia She and Jia Zheng in a remote and desolate palace.

In this way, Jia Yuanchun risked her life to enter the palace, and fearlessly pointed out the emperor's doubts. Gently pulling down the curtain behind all this, the emperor should also know clearly that this gentle, considerate, empathetic, beautiful and unique imperial concubine in his eyes, is really like this? !
