I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 83: Xianshu's skillful hands reveal the mystery in the emperor's heart

On March 18th, in Jingning City, the capital of the Great Yao Dynasty, the incident took place inside the palace, in Jingruzhai, where the fairy An Wuxia and Lin Daiyu lived.

After breakfast on the 18th, the emperor, accompanied by Shi Chengyu, came to Jingruzhai. An Wuxia and Lin Daiyu hurriedly paid their respects before the emperor took his seat.

The emperor asked with a smile: "How come there is no maid or eunuch serving in such a large Jingruzhai? Could it be that the eunuch in charge didn't arrange any staff?!"

An Wuxia served tea and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the head aunt has arranged for servants. But when I was in the Imperial Medical Institute, the An family had a family motto. No sons of the An family are to be provided with servants."

The emperor said with a puzzled look on his face: "All children of noble families have wet nurses to teach and serve them, but why is An's family so simple?!"

An Wuxia said politely, "Because our An family has been practicing medicine for generations, all the herbs and things bestowed by the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon can be used immediately. The medicinal properties of all things and the treatment of diseases and saving lives require personal practice to gain true insights. Therefore, the children of the An family must develop the habit of practicing by themselves from an early age. This is also to prepare for the hard work of practicing medicine in the future, so that they can gain exquisite medical skills after growing up."

The emperor nodded in praise and said, "No wonder the An family has superb medical skills for generations. It turns out that their children have been practicing medicine since they were young and are not afraid of hardships."

An Wuxia continued, "I have been in Yanran Hall since I was a child, working with the people who make medicine. I have gone up the mountain to collect herbs, climbed mountains and waded through water, and rolled and kneaded pills to make them. I have experienced everything."

The emperor laughed and said, "It turns out that the An family's children have been studying and practicing medicine since they were young. They are indeed great masters of their generation."

An Wuxia continued to answer, "So I have never had any maids around me, and I do everything in my daily life myself."

The emperor nodded in appreciation and said, "She is more hardworking, diligent and strong than all the noble ladies. This is very good."

An Wuxia smiled calmly and said, "This is the duty of a doctor. I am just following the teachings of my ancestors."

At this time, the emperor said to Shi Chengyu: "Eunuch Shi, you and Miss Lin should withdraw first. I have something I want to ask Miss An alone."

After they left, the emperor looked at An Wuxia and said, "There are some mysteries in my mind that have not been solved yet. Perhaps you can help me."

An Wuxia said respectfully, "I will tell you everything I know."

The emperor said with a serious face: "What disease almost killed the Salt Inspector Lin Ruhai last year?!"

An Wuxia replied, "I was poisoned by the Blue Stone Water Heart. I gradually recovered after the detoxification."

The emperor nodded and said, "It is widely said in the martial arts world that 'Lingxi helps the country to be forever secure'. Who are the people of Lingxi Pavilion helping?!"

An Wuxia calmed down for a moment, then said nervously, "Of course I am helping Your Majesty!"

The emperor turned his back to An Wuxia and said, "You did not answer this question truthfully."

An Wuxia knelt down hurriedly and said, "I dare not hide it. I am indeed helping Your Majesty to eliminate the treacherous and protect our Great Yao."

The emperor turned around and said, "If they really wanted to help me, they wouldn't have remained so mysterious!"

An Wuxia lowered her head and said, "I only answered truthfully."

The emperor then asked, "The people of your An family were hunted down by the people of Nether City before. Who ordered them to do that?!"

An Wuxia replied quietly at this time: "My servant and my family were framed by my uncle An Cheng and the imperial concubine, which led to our escape for life and death."

The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "You were working as a maid in the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou at that time, hiding your identity and avoiding being hunted down, right?!"

An Wuxia said nervously: "I just entered the Lin Mansion by chance, I didn't hide here on purpose."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be afraid. I don't blame you. I just want to know, after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the third prince was on his way to take office as the King of Bohai, and he unfortunately died of a serious illness in the Huaiyang area. Have you heard about it?!"

An Wuxia suddenly felt uneasy. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should tell His Majesty that the Third Prince was still alive, and the Queen was also alive, and they were together now.

The emperor saw An Wuxia remained silent and asked excitedly, "What?! Did you also hear about this in the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou?!"

An Wuxia raised her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty! At that time, I accidentally saved a man. He was dressed in black, covered with wounds and poisoned, and fell in a pool of blood, dying. I used the secret detoxification and healing medicine that the An family treasured, and gave it to him with the intention of taking a gamble."

The emperor sighed softly and said, "What happened to this person later?!"

An Wuxia said, "Perhaps it was God's mercy that this man miraculously survived. He promised to protect the life of this minister in the capital, so I followed the young master to the Rongguo Mansion."

The emperor said excitedly: "It is...Zhen'er!...The one who dares to promise you safety in the capital must be my Zhen'er!"

An Wuxia said calmly at this moment: "It was a dark and windy night, and I couldn't see clearly what the person I saved looked like. But someone told me that he would definitely protect me. I don't know who this person is."

His Majesty the Emperor said happily: "I have always believed that Zhen'er is still alive, and the people of Lingxi Pavilion have always been helping me! Otherwise, the body would not have been found yet."

An Wuxia looked at the emperor's happy expression, and she felt inexplicably sad and regretful in her heart, silently feeling sorry for Qi Zhen. So she said to His Majesty with a hint of regret: "If the Empress and the Third Prince were still alive, Your Majesty, would you have the slightest regret for what you did in the past?!"

The emperor suddenly shouted, "How dare you! I am asking you a question, you should just answer it truthfully, but you dare to interfere in the affairs of my harem."

An Wuxia immediately bowed her head and confessed her guilt, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I made an unintentional mistake. Please forgive me."

The emperor then said calmly: "What an unintentional mistake! Since you didn't mean it, I won't investigate further. But there is one more question. You must answer it truthfully, otherwise I will definitely punish you severely!"

An Wuxia said in fear: "I wonder if Your Majesty has any more questions for your servant?!"

The emperor said gently, "I had an acute stroke. Did you secretly insert a silver needle into my skull to clear the blockage and dissipate the mass? Then you wrapped it with white gauze to protect it. You also gave me a magic pill and took it for a month before I was able to recover."

An Wuxia didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. She thought secretly: "I clearly used the thousand-year-old Sweet Dream Fragrance at that time. His Majesty was in a deep sleep the whole time. How could he know that it was me who performed the minimally invasive brain surgery on him?!"

The emperor saw that she did not answer, so he reminded her, "I want you to answer this question truthfully!"

An Wuxia said calmly: "Your Majesty, how can you be sure that it was done by me?!"

His Majesty said affirmatively: "Looking at the entire Dayao, only the An family's medical skills can reach such a level. In addition, your family members had not yet recovered, so you were the only one left."

An Wuxia still said calmly: "There are many geniuses in the world, and many masters in the martial arts world. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your favor towards the An family's medical skills, but it is really not my doing."

The emperor immediately pointed at An Wuxia's open medicine box and said, "Not all doctors have this pair of strange silver needles. And the gauze used for wrapping is not owned by the Imperial Hospital either." After that, the emperor threw out a ball of white gauze from the sleeve of his dragon robe, which was exactly the same as the one in the medicine box.

An Wuxia knew that she could no longer hide the truth, so she immediately kowtowed and apologized, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was afraid that if the skull scan was unsuccessful, my head would be separated from my body. Therefore, I did not dare to perform the operation on Your Majesty rashly. I could only help Your Majesty with the skull scan and bone treatment when I was sure of success."

The emperor hurriedly helped An Wuxia up and said with a smile: "The mystery in my mind today has been answered. Please get up quickly." After that, he took Shi Chengyu and left Jingruzhai.

Returning to the Minghe Palace, the emperor was delighted: "It was indeed the fairy who cured my stroke! Then it must have been Zhen'er who asked him to come and treat me! No one else would be so thoughtful to me! Then the people from Lingxi Pavilion were also secretly helping Zhen'er?! Zhen'er... must have been saved by her..."
