"Your humble servant, Yu Zhong, and my entire family bow respectfully to you."

"I kowtow to the noble lady Zhao and wish her a long life and good fortune."

"May the noble lady be in good health and blessed with a long life."

Fei Wan laughed just by reading the beginning of the letter.

The Minister knows etiquette and is very respectful, much better than his useless second son.

"Sister Zhao, I won't bother you anymore and will go back first. You should get some rest. Tomorrow is the birthday banquet, and we still need to be in high spirits."

When Wu Xiangrong saw Fei Wan reading the letter, she didn't want to pry into Fei Wan's privacy, so she took the initiative to say goodbye.

Fei Wan left the letter and sent her out.

"Sister, please stay. You should take good care of your legs and walk less."

Fei Wan smiled: "It's divided among people. If it's someone else, I will raise the legs, but I must give it to my sister."

Wu Xiangrong was stunned for a moment, looked at Fei Wan's knee, and suddenly realized that her injury was probably fake, and couldn't help laughing.

Fei Wan sent her out of the hospital and told her not to take it lightly and to continue to be alert to the movements around her and those of the Queen and Concubine Xian.

"Well, if there's anything inappropriate, I'll let my sister know right away."

Wu Xiangrong turned to leave, but saw a eunuch in red clothes and a man in official uniform coming towards the gate of Guanlan Courtyard.

I couldn't help but stop.

Squinting his eyes, he said, "...It seems to be the consul of Ciyun Palace. Who is the other one?"

Judging from the clothing, it turned out to be someone from the Imperial Hospital.

But it looks unfamiliar, as if I have never seen it before.

Wu Xiangrong was worried about Fei Wan, so she stopped and didn't leave.

"Greetings to Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhao."

The eunuch in red robes came up and bowed.

The man in official uniform was introduced as Doctor Liu. The Queen Mother thought he had excellent medical skills, so she assigned him to take care of Fei Wan's health.

"Especially the injury on your knee. The Empress Dowager saw you kneeling in pain yesterday and felt sorry for you. She specifically instructed Imperial Physician Liu to examine you carefully and prescribe the right medicine."

Imperial Physician Liu then paid his respects to the two young ladies.

Wu Xiangrong's heart tightened.

Does the Queen Mother have to target Sister Zhao?

It wasn't enough to give Zhao a cold shoulder in public yesterday, but today he even sent the imperial physician. He wasn't just checking on her injuries, he was clearly trying to verify the severity of her injuries and whether they were truly damaged in Fengyi Palace.

The problem is Sister Zhao’s knee injury... isn’t it just fake?

If this is checked out.

Isn't that the crime of deceiving the emperor?

"Eunuch Sun, this Imperial Physician Liu looks a little unfamiliar, but is he a new medical expert at the Imperial Hospital? I wonder what specialties he specializes in, gynecology, or traumatology?"

Wu Xiangrong smiled warmly and chatted casually about family matters.

Find out the other party's background.

Eunuch Sun, the consul of Ciyun Palace, replied, "My lady, Imperial Physician Liu is an expert in all specialties. The Empress Dowager has been using him for over a month and is very impressed. She has arranged for him to be employed at the Imperial Hospital upon his return to the palace. If Miss Wu feels unwell, please feel free to consult Imperial Physician Liu."

In other words, this imperial physician surnamed Liu was newly arrived when the Empress Dowager was recuperating in the Western Hills.

Wu Xiangrong smiled and said, "I see. Imperial Physician Liu must be extremely skilled in medicine to be so highly regarded by the Empress Dowager. I wonder where Imperial Physician Liu is from, and where he previously held such high positions. From your accent, you don't sound like you're from the north."

Imperial Physician Liu bowed and said, "My humble origins are from Huaizhou in Jiangnan. I followed my master to the capital three years ago."

This answer is unclear.

Before Wu Xiangrong could ask, Eunuch Sun said, "Noble Lady Zhao has been standing for so long. I wonder if your knees can handle it? Shall we ask Imperial Physician Liu to come in and see her? The Empress Dowager is still waiting to check on her pulse after we've examined her."

Fei Wan smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. However, Your Majesty has always assigned the Court of Literature to take care of my injuries and illnesses, and he has to prescribe medicine every three days. I wonder if Imperial Physician Liu discussed this with the Court of Literature and reviewed my pulse record before he came?"

Doctor Liu said, "Not yet. However, after I finish examining the young lady, I will discuss the matter with Doctor Wen. The same thing will happen."

"Master Zhao, please?"

Eunuch Sun urged with a smile.

He seemed to be in a posture that would not allow Fei Wan to refuse any further.

Wu Xiangrong looked at Fei Wan nervously.

Fei Wan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then made up her mind.

He softly invited, "Since you are a master physician highly regarded by the Empress Dowager, and it's rare for Sister Wu to meet such a person, why not invite Sister Wu to come and check her pulse? Doctor Liu, would you be willing to give Concubine Wu an extra consultation?"

Doctor Liu expressed his willingness.

"Sister please."

Fei Wan took Wu Xiangrong's hand and slowly walked back into the house.

When he arrived at the main hall, he sat down slowly.

Wu Xiangrong also deliberately reminded her repeatedly to be careful with her movements and not to hurt herself.

It seemed as if Feiwan's knees were very fragile.

In fact, Wu Xiangrong was so nervous that his palms were covered in cold sweat, and Fei Wan's sleeves were wet from his grip.

Fei Wan gave her a reassuring look.

After sitting down, she stretched out her wrist and Xiaohui came forward and placed a silk handkerchief on her wrist.

This is the rule in the palace, to prevent the imperial physician's fingers from directly touching the concubines' skin.

Doctor Liu stood in front of Fei Wan, stretched out his fingers and pinched Fei Wan's wrist.

Eunuch Sun was waiting with his head bowed at the side.

"Hey... it hurts!"

Fei Wan suddenly let out a low cry, frowned, and pulled her hand back.

She held her wrist, which was being examined for pulse, and looked at Doctor Liu in panic, then quickly lowered her head again, her veil covering her face, but her ears were visibly red.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Wu Xiangrong hurried forward to show concern.

Fei Wan held her wrist and rubbed it gently, taking a few deep breaths, her chest heaving nervously.

After a moment, he shook his head: "Nothing..."

"Doctor Liu, have you taken my pulse?" Fei Wan glanced at Doctor Liu and turned away.

Seems a little scared.

"Please extend your hand, my lord. I have not yet begun to examine your pulse."

Doctor Liu's eyes were very sharp, and he stared at Fei Wan with an oppressive feeling.

Tears gradually welled up in Fei Wan's eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally lowered his head, stretched out his wrist again, and tears fell.

"Sister Zhao, your wrist..."

Wu Xiangrong saw two bright red scratches on Fei Wan's wrist at a glance.

He couldn't help but stare at Doctor Liu: "What's going on?!"

Doctor Liu's face was serious, neither humble nor arrogant: "I don't know, I was just taking your pulse normally."

"you……"

Wu Xiangrong was very angry.

But the other party relied on the support of the Queen Mother, and Eunuch Sun was watching from the side. She was just a little concubine and really didn't dare to target him too much.

After enduring it again and again, he finally resisted the urge to scold the other person and just sternly warned him, "Be careful!"

Fei Wan said softly, "Sister Wu, it's okay. It's just that Doctor Liu's grip was a bit too strong...Sister, is it better not to check your pulse?"

"Okay, I won't watch it anymore." Wu Xiangrong nodded immediately.

Doctor Liu frowned and emphasized, "I was examining the patient normally and did not forcefully feel the pulse."

Fei Wan shuddered, looked at him timidly, and whispered in agreement: "Yes...it's all because I'm too sensitive..."

Doctor Liu frowned even deeper.

She was about to check Fei Wan's pulse again, but before her fingers even touched the handkerchief, Fei Wan withdrew her hand: "Xiao Hui, bring me another handkerchief. I want the one that the virtuous concubine gave you yesterday."

Xiaohui brought the handkerchief as she was told.

But it was a thicker brocade handkerchief.

Fei Wan covered her wrist herself, being careful not to expose any skin, before she agreed to let Doctor Liu help.

Doctor Liu's face looked very ugly.
