Professional Ethics of a Concubine

East Palace.

The prince had been ill for half a month and had not recovered yet, with recurring fever.

The emperor was anxious and severely criticized the doctors who treated the prince. In the end, he said the classic line,

"If you can't cure the prince, you will bring your heads to me!"

Several imperial doctors were trembling with fear and discussed for a long time. They all felt that the prince's illness was not simple.

Finally, they recommended Feng Yuxi to the emperor to treat the prince.

The emperor agreed, and he also felt that Feng Yuxi had some strange abilities.

The heavy burden of curing the prince suddenly fell on Feng Yuxi.

When Feng Yuxi just received the task, he was not thinking about the trouble that was coming, but whether he should cure the prince?

He was so confident because his career system had been upgraded since he became an imperial physician and opened a medical school.

Before, this dog system restricted him, saying that his resources, abilities, and conditions were limited, so he was only allowed to delve into the field of gynecology, and all the tasks and rewards provided were in this area.

But now, the dog system said that his status was high, he was both an imperial physician and the dean of the medical school. It was not enough for him to just focus on one field, and he had to develop into an all-round doctor.

Although Feng Yuxi wanted to laugh when he thought about the sufferings he had suffered before due to workplace discrimination, he accepted everyone who came. The more powerful the dog system was, the more beneficial it was to him.

He now has the imperial power behind him, as well as King Jing's full support. All kinds of silver resources are chasing him to feed him. The dog system has also opened a points mall for him. As long as he has enough silver, he can buy whatever medical things he wants.

It must be mentioned that because King Jing is also his leader, he can no longer hide, and the system's golden finger vest has also fallen off in King Jing's place.

Although the current dog system still belongs to him, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been handed over to King Jing (the imperial court).

During this period, in order to cooperate with Xiaokang to complete the "Send Blessings" activity, he redeemed a lot of various life-saving pills, with remarkable effects, even shocking.

Feng Yuxi felt that when it came to curing illnesses and saving lives, he could pretend to be a god.

That's why he said that no matter why the prince had repeated fevers, with the cheating of the system, he could calmly choose to save him or not.

Feng Yuxi couldn't make up his mind, so before going to the East Palace to treat the prince, he went to ask his son's opinion first.

"Dad, just heal the prince." Xie Niankang said firmly.

"I will give the prince another small blessing. If we work together, we can make the prince jump up and down tomorrow."

"...Are you sure this is the result that King Jing wants?" Feng Yuxi asked.

"Yes, my uncle just told me yesterday that he might ask you to treat the prince, so he asked me to tell you."

Feng Niankang nodded vigorously and spoke.

Since the leader had given the request, Feng Yuxi didn't ask any more questions and went to see the prince.

After arriving at the East Palace and taking a closer look, they found that the prince had recurring fevers that were difficult to cure because he was constantly poisoned.

Of course, he eliminated the poison from the prince as soon as he made a move. The prince's fever went down that night, the pain in his body was gone, and he felt stronger. As Xiaokang said, he could get out of bed and move around immediately.

"Imperial Physician Feng is indeed a miracle doctor who can bring people back to health with his magic hands." The prince said to Feng Yuxi with an unfathomable look on his face.

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Feng Yuxi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You have cured me of the poison, and I will reward you handsomely. What do you want?" the prince asked again.

"I have only fulfilled my duty and dare not ask for any reward." Feng Yuxi said even more humbly.

The prince looked at him and said nothing more.

-

When the emperor heard that the prince had been poisoned, he was extremely angry and ordered an immediate investigation of the Eastern Palace to find the murderer.

Feng Yuxi just wanted to say that this plot was not fresh at all.

He is only responsible for curing the disease, not for finding the murderer who poisoned the patient.

Now that the prince's poison had been cured and his fever had subsided, he would not go to the Eastern Palace and let other imperial doctors continue to be responsible for the prince's health.

There was a bloody storm in the East Palace. The servants were tortured severely, and the women in the harem, regardless of their rank, were also strictly investigated and interrogated.

After much investigation, the mastermind behind the poisoning was found: it was Concubine De in the palace.

Defei, the eldest of the four concubines, gave birth to the third prince and was named Prince Duan.

Prince Duan had a mild temperament and had always been suppressed by the Crown Prince and had not made any outstanding political achievements.

The only thing he could boast of was that he had studied at the Imperial College, where he had achieved good results and had a reputation for being courteous to the wise and humble.

After the Queen was placed under house arrest, the Phoenix Seal was taken away. As the leader of the Four Concubines, it was natural for Concubine De to be in charge of the Phoenix Seal, while the other three concubines assisted in managing all palace affairs.

When the Emperor heard that the mastermind behind the incident was Concubine De, he immediately summoned her for a confrontation.

Concubine De cried out that she was innocent and refused to admit that she was the mastermind behind the incident.

However, the young eunuch caught in the Eastern Palace was indeed Defei's spy, and Defei was in charge of the allowances of the imperial kitchen and other places. In addition, she had an old grudge with the Queen, and she also had the motive to help Prince Duan win the throne.

Therefore, even if Defei refuses to admit it, she cannot clear herself of suspicion even if all the factors such as witnesses, physical evidence and motives are present.

However, the emperor also has a scale in his heart. Concubine De refused to plead guilty, perhaps she was indeed wronged.

Because even if she rushed to attack the prince now, she would not get any real benefit.

Apart from the crown prince, there is still Prince Jing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Prince Jing is being given an important position.

The emperor also felt that Concubine De was not that stupid.

However, even if Defei was not the mastermind, she was still guilty of negligence.

After comprehensive consideration, the emperor took away Concubine De's power to manage the harem, demoted her to Zhaoyi, and confined her to house arrest for half a year.

Defei cried and shouted that she was innocent, fainted on the spot, and then fell ill.

This time it was Prince Duan who knelt outside the imperial study, begging the emperor for mercy.

Unfortunately, it was useless for Prince Duan to kneel for two hours. After he fainted, he was carried away.

With so many things happening one after another, both the masters and servants in the harem were on edge, and they saw enemies everywhere.

-

"What do you think, Your Highness? Concubine De was really wronged?" Ye Qingzhi sorted out the recent events and said,

“I have to say that the prince’s illness came at a very good time, which successfully reduced the emperor’s anger, and also involved the poisoning incident, which made the emperor even more distressed.

At the same time, because of the need to find the mastermind behind the incident, everyone's attention was diverted away from the crown prince and the queen.

Could it be that from the beginning to the end, this was all a play directed and performed by the prince himself?"

"There is no concrete evidence, but I think you are right. This is more like a trap set by the crown prince, and Concubine De is unlucky enough to take the blame."

King Jing spoke.

"Your Highness has set up a trap at the Ministry of Revenue. Have the Crown Prince and Minister Chen fallen into the trap?" Ye Qingzhi asked him.

"The fish are starting to bite." Prince Jing said with a stern face, "The bait is so fat, and the prince is short of money again.

He will naturally be tempted by the large amount of money and grain in the treasury, and Minister Chen cannot stop him. We have all underestimated the prince before."

Ye Qingzhi walked to the window, looked at the increasingly hot weather outside, and asked again,

"Your Highness, is the Emperor going to the Summer Palace this year?"

"Yes, we will go. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already started preparing for this matter. We will leave for the Summer Resort in half a month."

Prince Jing said this, walking up to her and looking out the window.

got windy.

The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.

-

The prince felt that he was a bit unlucky these two days.

It's not a big deal. You can choke even when drinking tea, or trip when walking without paying attention.

The prince didn't care, thinking it would be fine in a few days.

However, after two days, the condition did not improve, but became more serious. While riding a horse, the prince fell off the horse!

Half of his leg was broken.

The prince's defense is broken!

Everything was going well for a while before, why am I so unlucky now!

Ahhh, his legs must not be broken!

-

Feng Yuxi came to the Eastern Palace again.

Before coming, he protested, saying that he was a gynecologist and he couldn't treat legs!

However, the emperor specifically asked him to treat the prince, and the prince also specifically asked him to treat him.

Feng Yuxi had no choice but to come and see how unlucky the prince was.

After accepting Xiaokang's blessing, although you will have bad luck, for a long time they are just minor troubles and injuries.

Just do some good deeds and you will gradually feel better.

The reason why the prince broke his leg so quickly was because he was too immoral.

"Wuwuwu... Imperial Doctor Feng, will His Highness's legs be damaged?"

The Crown Princess asked crying, full of worry. How could there be a lame crown prince?

As long as the prince's legs are crippled, he will have no chance of becoming emperor!

The prince also looked at Feng Yuxi nervously.

"Your Highness's leg injury is very serious, and I am powerless to help you recover."

Feng Yuxi shook his head seriously.

His diagnosis was the same as that of other imperial physicians.

The prince's only hope was gone, and he went berserk.

He picked up the pillow beside him and threw it at Feng Yuxi, calling him a waste and accusing Feng Yuxi of deliberately not wanting to cure him.

He looked like he was going to kill Feng Yuxi.

Feng Yuxi,...

A crown prince with such a broad mind, such cunning, and such ability to withstand pressure, can only become helpless and furious when faced with setbacks?

It’s better to leave the leg broken. Even if he can cure it, he doesn’t want to treat the prince.

Before coming here, I wanted to remind the prince to donate some things to accumulate virtue, but seeing how immoral the prince is, I don't know how many immoral things he has done, and I don't know how much silver he will need to make up for it.

Or maybe you need to do something really good.

Just don’t say it.

Feng Yuxi thought with contempt in his heart, but he did not panic. He stepped aside far away to make sure that the prince with a broken leg would not be able to throw anything at him in his rage.

"Wuwuwu..." The Crown Princess cried non-stop and was at a loss for a moment. It was the Crown Prince who spoke up.

"Mother, it is said that donating to the national treasury will bring good luck. Father has been too unlucky these past two days. Perhaps if we donate a large sum of money, his leg injury will improve."

The Crown Princess slowly stopped crying and seriously thought about the feasibility of this matter. After a moment, she realized that she had no other choice.

Let's give it a try and donate some money!

Feng Yuxi secretly glanced at the Crown Prince and thought that the Crown Prince was not as good as the Crown Prince.

-

Feng Yuxi was summoned by the emperor.

"Is it true that the prince's leg cannot be restored?" the emperor asked with a frown.

"It's very difficult, very difficult. After hard rehabilitation, you may be able to walk on your own, but you will still be somewhat disabled and look like you are walking with a limp."

Feng Yuxi spoke half-truthfully.

With a cheating system, even if the prince's leg is really amputated, let alone a broken bone, he can still give him a mechanical prosthetic leg so that he can walk like a normal person.

The emperor sighed, but felt slightly relieved in his heart.

The emperor felt that the prince's broken leg might not be a bad thing.

The prince's leg was broken, so he had a legitimate reason to depose him.
