The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.
Chapter 89: Winning over Doctor Wen
"Your Majesty, I am fine. Look, I can clearly stand up."
Fei Wan spoke very humbly, and seemed to want to keep the peace.
But he said so.
But in terms of action, I couldn't stand up at all.
She looked weak and frail, with a furrowed brow.
When he pushed himself up, his whole body was shaking, and it was obvious that he was in terrible pain.
"What should I do... My lady, please hold on, I'll get you a doctor right away!"
Xiangyi cried so hard that tears kept streaming down her face, and she crawled out.
The Queen's maid Bai Lu shouted, "Stand still!"
Xiang Yi shuddered, stopped in astonishment, and asked anxiously:
"Why...why don't you call a doctor for my mistress? She's almost dying of pain!"
Bai Lu really wanted to say, "Then let her die in pain!"
See if she really can die from the pain.
It's clearly a show!
But that can't be said.
Otherwise, if word gets out, the Queen Mother's reputation of being harsh on her concubines will be confirmed. After all, the one being harshly treated is the newly promoted Concubine Zhao!
"Do you really need to go and ask for the imperial physician? There are many eunuchs in Fengyi Palace who run errands faster than you. If you want the imperial physician to come faster, then don't go yourself."
Bai Lu tried his best to smile and spoke patiently.
Xiang Yi was still worried: "...But I'm going to ask Doctor Wen. My young lady's injuries are always treated by Doctor Wen. I'm afraid someone else won't be familiar with my young lady's constitution and might delay the treatment."
The Queen raised her hand to signal Bai Lu to stop talking and gave the order directly: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the Literary Academy for a judgement."
"Thank you, Queen!"
Xiangyi fell to her knees.
Dong dong dong, there were a few more bangs.
The redness and swelling on the forehead became more obvious.
The queen's eyes darkened.
Bai Lu then said, "You, a servant, weren't you taught the rules before serving Lady Zhao? Kneeling and kowtowing at every turn, which master would like it? Besides, the Empress is very kind to the harem and never treats anyone harshly. You kowtowed your head red for no reason. Are you blaming the Empress for ruining Lady Zhao's health?"
Don't think you can threaten your master with your life by bowing like this. The palace is a place where reason and hierarchy are respected. How can you be so presumptuous?
This time, for the sake of Miss Zhao, I'll forgive you. If it happens again, the teaching nanny from the Palace Administration Department will have to teach you the rules properly. Otherwise, you might even end up getting your young mistress into trouble."
The egret spoke softly and sincerely, as if it were a heart-to-heart talk with close friends.
But every word is a threat.
Every word is suppressed.
Although he was talking about Xiangyi, he was actually talking about Feiwan.
The Queen waited for Bai Lu to finish speaking before she angrily scolded him, "Bai Lu, get down. We don't need you to serve here anymore."
Bai Lu bowed obediently and then retreated to the next compartment.
The Queen asked the other maids to help Fei Wan up and sit on a chair, and said softly:
"Bai Lu is the head maid in this palace. It's her duty to teach all the palace maids, so she's inevitably strict. If Noble Lady Zhao feels offended, I'll punish her and let you vent your anger. But she does have a point. You should restrain the palace maids. It's okay here, but if she makes a mistake in front of the emperor in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect her."
This is a combination of soft and hard teaching.
Fei Wan just frowned and endured the pain. As she was helped to the chair, she kept gasping for air and was in great pain.
After the queen finished speaking, she finally answered: "Yes, what you are teaching is..."
It sounds perfunctory no matter how you listen to it.
The smile on the queen's lips gradually cooled.
The look he gave Fei Wan gradually became sharper.
Seeing this, Xiang Yi rushed to Fei Wan's side and rudely pushed aside several Fengyi Palace maids. "Don't touch my young lady! Ouch! You hit the young lady's waist. She has an injury! Young lady, young lady, how are you? Young lady, hold on!"
"Xiangyi, don't go down yet!"
Fei Wan stood up anxiously, but her body swayed.
Xiangyi hurriedly supported him.
Fei Wan remained semi-conscious until Doctor Wen arrived with his men.
After an examination, Doctor Wen reported to the Queen that Fei Wan's fall had triggered an old knee injury and she needed to rest for at least half a month. She could walk lightly but not too much, and she must not sprain her knee again during this period.
"Court of Literature, are you watching carefully?" the Queen said with a gloomy face.
Doctor Wen bowed and said, "I dare not speak nonsense."
He asked the two assistant medical officers he brought with him to diagnose him again.
The Queen stopped him.
The people he brought with him would naturally follow his words, so what was the point in diagnosing him again?
Later, at the suggestion of Doctor Wen, Fei Wan was carried back to Guanlan Courtyard on a spring stool.
"Thank you, Judge. I'm really sorry for bothering you all these days."
Before Doctor Wen left, Fei Wan personally brought a tray and handed it to him.
Today, Imperial Doctor Wen sided with her, making her "injury" feel more justified, so no matter what the reason was for Imperial Doctor Wen to help her, she, as the beneficiary, had to express her gratitude.
"My lord, I don't deserve it. This is all within my humble duty."
Doctor Wen initially declined.
But when Fei Wan lifted the cloth and revealed a torn medical book inside, Doctor Wen's eyes stopped.
So much so that the several large, round, top-quality pearls next to the medical book failed to attract his attention.
Supplementary Notes on the Bronze Man Classics, Volume 1.
This long-lost medical book was left by a king of acupuncture six hundred years ago. After several wars, it was lost incompletely, and now only some fragments are scattered.
Doctor Wen couldn't help but reach out and take it, flipping through it again and again, his eyes staring wider and wider.
"This is... real! Two volumes, this is really the entire first volume! Where did you get it, young master?"
"I got it by chance." Fei Wan didn't explain the origin of the medical book, but just glossed over it. "I don't know if it's authentic. Please ask the judge to take it and help me study it."
"My lord, this..."
"Don't worry, Judge. I made a great vow before the Buddha, and I only want to save as many people as possible. However, my own abilities are limited. If this book can help you save more people, it will be a meritorious deed for me."
Doctor Wen knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times.
As a judge of the court, according to the rules established by Emperor Taizu of Daliang, he had the right to bow but not kneel when meeting anyone except the emperor, empress and queen mother.
But for the sake of this book, he gave a great gift to Fei Wan, who was just a noble lady.
This shows how important this book is to him.
This also shows Fei Wan's means of winning people's hearts.
Gifts are only useful if they touch people's hearts.
After sending the judge of the Academy of Literature away, Fei Wan, who was originally half lying on the couch in weakness and pain, stood up and walked as usual.
Her legs hurt, she was just pretending.
She knocked over the stool in Fengyi Palace herself, and in the chaos, she used her strength to break the stool legs.
She went to visit the Queen today, with the intention of getting hurt or sick.
First of all, it would add fuel to the fire of the Queen and make the Emperor even more disgusted.
Secondly, after being promoted to the throne through serving the emperor in bed, he wanted to recuperate and stay out of the spotlight again.
It just so happened that the Queen was suppressing her rank when they met, so she had no choice but to go along with it and fell down.
Offending the Queen?
Will the Queen not take action unless she offends him?
Xiang Yi smiled and said, "It's such a pleasure to follow the young lady! I dare not even think that I can make the Empress suffer in Fengyi Palace!"
The Queen actually dared not give the young lady face and left her alone for an hour.
He put on airs when we met.
If you don't teach her a lesson, she'll think you're easy to bully.
Fei Wan warned her, "You were very smart today. Just don't kowtow so hard next time. If you kowtow like a fool, how can you help me?"
Xiang Yi applied the ointment that Doctor Wen had specially left for her and laughed, "I've learned from the Xinzheku training. I'm a servant with a strong head and I'm not afraid of pain."
Xiao Hui said, "After what happened today, I'm afraid the Empress deeply hates you. We must be more careful in the future."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaohui, for teaching me this!" Xiangyi squatted down.
Xiao Hui pouted: "My dear, look at her, she's laughing at me again... I'm just worried about you and everyone else..."
"Xiao Hui said it very well." Fei Wan smiled, "The Queen's murderous intention towards me has become even stronger."
"However, the birthday banquet is coming up soon, and the Queen Mother will return to the palace tomorrow. The Queen will have to deal with the virtuous concubine first before it will be my turn. I just don't know if she will still have the energy to kill me by then."
Fei Wan thought for a moment.
He ordered, "Prepare a generous gift. I will go to Changle Palace early tomorrow morning."
