I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Late at night on the 13th day of the ninth lunar month, in the Rongguo Mansion in Jingning City.

During the day, she accompanied Xiao Daiyu to Ning Mansion to appreciate plum blossoms, and at night, An Wuxia was quietly awake. She had to ensure that she always maintained a clear, calm and wise mind. Because her own situation was not optimistic, she was treading on thin ice and lurking in Jia Mansion to accompany Xiao Daiyu.

Looking at the current situation in the court, it is like a mountain of snow pressing down on one's head, making it extremely suffocating.

The current emperor of the Dayao Dynasty has few descendants. Although he had six princes, only two of them reached adulthood. They are the sixth prince, born to Concubine Mu, and the third prince, the legitimate son of Empress Chen.

However, Concubine Mu, with her exotic beauty and extraordinary scheming, has always been the emperor's favorite, and secretly colluded with important officials in the court, pushing her son to the position of crown prince step by step.

Empress Chen was able to keep her position as empress because of her virtue and intelligence, and her mother's family held great military power, but she was also sent to the cold palace. The third prince whom I rescued before coming to the Jia Mansion was the son of Empress Chen. Not only was he framed and lost his position as the crown prince, he was demoted to the King of Bohai, and was poisoned by Concubine Mu's shadowless army on the way to his fiefdom. If he hadn't met me, he would have been dead long ago.

I have been in Jia Mansion for quite some time. Before we left, he asked me to go to the cold palace to treat the queen. But how can I, a fugitive maid, treat the queen? ! Just as An Wuxia's thoughts were surging and she turned over gently, her hand touched a slippery and soft thing beside the pillow. She sat up immediately with alertness.

Hoo—a black dove! The dim moonlight shone through the window screen, and it lay silently beside An Wuxia's pillow, approaching her gently. When she lit the candle, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak. A black dove, as black as ink, lay peacefully beside her pillow.

It turns out that this pigeon is the legendary messenger of the Yao Dynasty - the pigeon of Lingxi Pavilion. The one that came this time is as black as ink without any other colors, and it makes no sound when flying. It can deliver letters in the dark night without anyone noticing, and is extremely safe and reliable, so it is called "Mo Wu". Another one is as white as snow, flies as fast as thunderbolt, and shuttles through the clouds during the day to help its owner deliver letters. It is called "Xue Zi".

An Wuxia happily opened the bamboo tube on the black pigeon's leg. It turned out to be the Third Prince's handwritten letter. The Third Prince did not break his promise and had always sent people to protect and help him in secret. He even arranged for his uncle, Duke of Qi Chen Zhen, and Duke of Duanrui Chen Shu, to help him.

Not only did he have the help of his uncle, but there were also people from the Third Prince in the Jia Mansion. The letter mentioned that the Lin Zhixiao family, who was in charge of the silver vault and the account office, were there, and they could take care of them at any time if there was an emergency. An Wuxia was very relieved to know all this, because it turned out that he was not fighting alone.

Since the Third Prince kept his promise and protected her, she should also seek the help of the Duke of Qi and his brothers and go to the cold palace to rescue Queen Chen. Thinking of this, An Wuxia took out the pen and ink and secretly replied to the Third Prince's handwritten letter.

Tell him that everything is going according to the original plan, please rest assured. Seeing the black pigeon "Mo Wu" quietly enter the night from the window, An Wuxia went to sleep with peace of mind.

It turned out that Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue were also awake that night. They were worried about Xue Pan. They had spent a lot of money, but he was not released. They kept dragging their feet and thought that they had to find a way to get out of prison.

Although they tried their best to fight with the help of the power of the Jia and Wang families, the newly appointed Yingtian prefect was a member of the party of Concubine Mu and King Zhongshun. At this point, we must talk about the factions within the Dayao Dynasty. At the beginning of the establishment of Dayao, the four kings and eight dukes followed Emperor Gaozu in his conquests and made great contributions. This is how the descendants lived in luxury and wealth.

By the time of the current emperor, the four princes and eight dukes had already been important officials in the court, and they had supported him with merit, so naturally they were deeply rooted.

Duke Shan formed his own party and had great influence in the court.

The current queen's mother's family is the Chen family of Duke Qi, and the third prince is the eldest son of the current emperor. Concubine Mu is just a noblewoman from a tribe on a border island who fled to Kyoto. Naturally, she has no background in the court.

As Concubine Mu's favor grew, she and the Sixth Prince continued to win over the ministers in the court. However, since the four princes and eight dukes were in the same party, they were naturally on the side of the Queen. Concubine Mu and her son saw that the four princes and eight dukes were all on the side of the Queen and her son, and were all loyal to the Emperor and the Third Prince, and they were difficult to control.

So they used all kinds of tricks to cultivate some of their own forces, all of which were new nobles in the court. The Wang family, the Shi family of Baolinghou, the lineage of Prince Zhongshun, and the remnants of the An family, a family of national medicine, who were in charge of tribute from various countries, were all reused and given titles. In addition to cultivating their own power, the mother and son also tried their best to alienate the important forces of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. They destroyed their cohesion from the inside, thereby disintegrating and dispersing their power and making them work for themselves.

So far, his uncle An Nuo has been in cahoots with Concubine Mu's group.

He killed his father and brother to become the "National Medical Master". This caused him to fall from the position of the eldest daughter of a dignified National Medical House to a small maid. It can be seen that this is a bloody battle for the crown prince, and it is also a struggle for imperial power.

So far, the third prince's title of crown prince has been abolished and he has been demoted to the King of Bohai. However, it is widely rumored in the capital that he contracted a serious illness on the way to his fiefdom and died young. Empress Chen was banished to the cold palace, but she has not been deposed as queen. With the sixth prince being crowned as crown prince, it is not far from time for Concubine Mu to be crowned as queen.

There is another important reason why Empress Chen was only banished to the cold palace but not deposed, which is that she once saved the life of the emperor together with Prince Yi Zhong and his wife. Prince Yi Zhong and the emperor were both born to Empress Dowager Hou, and they had a deep brotherly love.

It turned out that when the current emperor and Prince Yi Zhong were still princes, one Mid-Autumn Festival, they accompanied the Queen Hou to visit her relatives in the fiefdom of Xiuguogong. On the way back, they passed through a beautiful valley. As the two brothers were young and greedy for hunting.

Later, the prince was injured by a coral reef snake and was on the verge of death. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu, the wife of An Mansion, passed by with two daughters of Duke Qi. When the prince's life was at stake, Mrs. Liu used her exquisite medical skills to lead the prince and the two daughters to climb the cliffs in the valley to collect herbs, saving the prince's life.

Emperor Gaozu was grateful to Liu and the two daughters of Duke Qi for saving the prince's life. He also saw that the two daughters were beautiful, intelligent, good at medicine, and kind, virtuous, and decent. So he immediately married the two sisters to the two princes. For a time, the whole country spread the good story. Therefore, since entering the palace, Empress Chen has been deeply loved by Emperor Gaozu, the Queen Mother, and the subjects.

Prince Yi Zhong and his wife were deeply in love and served His Majesty with all their heart and soul. So, the Queen Mother Hou was the daughter of Duke Xiu, Hou Xiaoming. And Queen Chen and Princess Yi Zhong were the granddaughters of Duke Qi, Chen Yi.

And the wife of An's mansion, Liu, was the daughter of Duke of Li, Liu Biao. Therefore, the four kings and eight dukes were all related by marriage, and their relationship was deep and blessed for their descendants.

Since the four princes and eight dukes followed the lineage of Emperor Gaozu to fight in the south and the north and founded the Great Yao Dynasty, it has only been three generations. Unfortunately, the situation in the court has changed suddenly, and the struggle for the legitimate and illegitimate imperial power will intensify.
