Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Zhao Liangchen hurriedly tried to withdraw his hand when he heard Zeng Lao's voice, but Su Qin frowned and pulled him back: "Don't move, the medicine hasn't been applied yet."

Zhao Liangchen didn't dare to move again. Su Qin raised her voice and said, "Grandpa, Liangchen burned his hand. I'll apply medicine to him before I leave. It's cold outside. You go back to sleep."

Mr. Zeng snorted coldly and walked away muttering. They were all men and his students, so how could he not see Zhao Liangchen's feelings for Su Qin? He was not against Zhao Liangchen and Su Qin being together, but Su Qin's family was not around, so he could not make the decision on the marriage directly.

If Zhao Liangchen really wants to marry Su Qin, he must not only get rid of his father first, but also get the consent of the Su family. Before that, he must keep an eye on the person and cannot let Zhao Liangchen ruin Su Qin's reputation first.

Su Qin was unaware of Mr. Zeng's worries. After applying the medicine to Zhao Liangchen, she stuffed the bottle into his other hand and carefully reminded him, "Remember to apply the medicine on this hand regularly to prevent blisters."

Zhao Liangchen nodded blankly.

Su Qin also reminded: "Even if you are busy in the future, you must eat on time."

Zhao Liangchen nodded blankly again.

Seeing that Su Qin had nothing else to say, Zhao Liangchen walked out reluctantly. When he left, he didn't even notice that his hands and feet were shaky.

When he left the house, he saw Zeng Lao still standing at the door of the main hall with a sullen face. He hurried over and saluted: "Teacher."

Mr. Zeng glanced at his hand and asked, "Is it seriously burned?"

Zhao Liangchen raised his hand and felt the coolness on his hand, a smile appeared on his face: "It's okay, I've applied medicine, don't worry, teacher."

Zeng Lao snorted coldly: "Who cares about you? Don't climb over the wall anymore. No matter what, you can't knock on the door."

Zhao Liangchen: "Yes."

Mr. Zeng slammed the door shut, too lazy to even look at Zhao Liangchen's worthless smile.

In the end, Zhao Liangchen did not climb over the wall, but opened the door and left.

When the maid returned to the palace and told the emperor what Zhao Liangchen had said, the emperor flew into a rage and fainted again. The imperial physician came to see him again and wanted to give him acupuncture, but the empress stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty's body is precious. How can you just use needles on him?"

The imperial physician had no intention of curing the emperor, so he did not insist, but in the end he still boiled a bowl of medicine.

This time, the Queen did not feed the Emperor the medicine. As the Emperor's condition worsened the more he drank, she scolded the imperial doctors and drove them out.

The medicine was still decocted every day, and the imperial physician still came to take the emperor's pulse every day, but the medicine was poured into the toilet by the queen. The queen waited for the emperor to wake up again and fed him the medicine brought back by the palace maid. The emperor's fever gradually subsided, and after suspending court for three days, he felt much better and then resumed attending court.

During these three days, the queen took care of the emperor without taking off her clothes. As a result, the emperor was almost recovered from his illness, but the queen fell ill again due to exhaustion.

The emperor was moved by the queen's sincerity and ordered the women of the Duke of Lu's mansion to enter the palace to visit the queen. Qiao Haomin followed them into the palace under the pretext of giving the queen jewelry.

Prince Liang had no objection to this. After the emperor recovered from his illness, Prince Liang resumed attending court. On the surface, the uncle and nephew were still very close. They often discussed political affairs, played chess, and talked about family matters. No one noticed the undercurrents between them, and even Prince Liang did not notice anything unusual about the emperor.

The female relatives who came to the palace to visit the empress were the wife of the Duke of Lu, the empress's mother, the Crown Prince's wife, the empress's elder sister-in-law, and a younger sister.

Each of them has a maid, and the one who followed the queen's sister into the palace was the court physician Duan Liang, who had shaved his beard and dressed as a woman.

Duan Liang is actually not very old, with a fair and gentle appearance. He grows a beard to avoid his enemies and also because people always look down on him for his youth and don't trust him as a doctor, so he deliberately dresses maturely.

This time, for the sake of his own happiness in the second half of his life, he had to disguise himself as a woman and enter the palace. Although he agreed, he looked very unhappy.

When Zou Tai was checking identities at the palace gate, he was still wondering why the Duke of Lu's Mansion chose a maid with such a long face, like a donkey's.

How could he know that the person who passed in front of him was a man dressed as a woman? He didn't realize that Su Qin was a woman dressed as a man before, which shows how short-sighted he was.

Because Prince Liang had said in advance that he would facilitate the Duke of Lu in sending people to the palace, no one investigated them in detail.

It was King Liang's conceited decision that made him regret and want to kill himself.

After seeing the queen, the female members of the Lu State Eunuch's Mansion had no time to exchange pleasantries or reminisce about the past, and asked Duan Liang to treat the queen first. It was somewhat inconvenient for a man to treat a woman, so he could only take her pulse.

Although Duan Liang was very reluctant to come, he had good medical ethics and would not fool people once he agreed, so he took the pulse very carefully. The female relatives of the Duke of Lu's mansion all stared at him nervously, afraid of hearing any bad news.

Especially the Crown Prince's wife, she has been unable to eat or sleep since she heard that the Emperor was going to take a concubine. She doesn't care about the family honor, she is more concerned about her daughter being abandoned by the Emperor and becoming a widow in the future. A queen who cannot give birth is destined to be lonely no matter how noble her status is.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone in the Duke of Lu's Mansion, Duan Liang slowly withdrew his hand.

The Crown Prince's wife asked anxiously, "How is it? Is the Queen in good health?"

Duan Liang considered his words carefully before saying, "From the pulse, I don't see anything wrong with the Empress."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince's wife breathed a sigh of relief. But before she could fully relax, Duan Liang's next words made her breathe a sigh of relief again: "But this doesn't mean that the Queen is fine. Whether or not she can get pregnant depends not only on the pulse, but also on many other aspects that need to be considered. It's just that I'm not able to do some of the tests, so I can't make a decision."

The female members of the Duke of Lu's family were filled with disappointment. As women, they all knew how difficult it was for women to see a doctor. Many times, they had to bear the difficult illnesses on their own, and as time went by, minor illnesses would develop into major ones, and they would die early.

Looking at the dejected faces of his female relatives, Qiao Haomin said nonchalantly, "Why are you all so sad? Didn't Duan Liang say he wasn't sure? If the Empress is not convenient for an examination, doesn't the Emperor still have one? If the Emperor finds anything wrong, wouldn't that prove that the Empress is fine?"

Lady Lu was so angry at her youngest son's outspokenness that she slapped him in the face: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is the palace, shut up! Do you think you can criticize the emperor?"

Qiao Haomin curled his lips: "I'm not talking nonsense."

He knew that whether a woman could get pregnant depended entirely on the man. Although he was lustful and often wandered around with other women, he had very few children, only those born to his wife. He did not allow other women to have children. Of course, he did not let them take harmful contraceptive soups. He was the one who took the medicine every time, so he knew how important men were to women's pregnancy.

Lady Lu angrily slapped him again: "You still dare to talk."

At this time, Duan Liang spoke up: "He is right."

Although he cannot check the Queen in detail, he can check the Emperor in detail. If the Emperor finds no problem after the check, then it is the Queen's problem. If there is a problem with the Emperor, there is no need to check the Queen.

Before Lady Lu could stop him, the Emperor came in from outside and asked, "What's wrong?"
