Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

People around were still talking.

"Oh, this must be a murder. Look at the road leading out of the palace gate."

"It's been a rough few days. The Jinyiwei are searching the entire city, and there's another murder here."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. It's not a murder case. I just saw someone carrying someone on his back. That person was vomiting a lot of blood along the way. It looks like he's not going to make it."

"........."

Xiao Yan told Yang Zhounan to go back to the training ground first, and he walked into the street along the blood trail, stopping in the middle. When he turned his head, he saw that he was in the Imperial Hospital.

There was a little medicine boy cleaning up the blood at the door. Xiao Yan walked over and asked, "What's with all this blood?"

The little medicine boy saw the person coming and quickly bowed, saying, "I don't know either. Master Gou asked me to clean it up."

The Imperial Medical Office is on the street, so it is not surprising that people with sudden emergencies are often carried into the Imperial Medical Office.

Xiao Yan thought about it, glanced casually inside the door, then walked down the stairs and went out to the street.

The emperor wanted to thoroughly investigate corruption, and logically he should not have been involved, but as a minister he could only follow orders and do his job. Even if he was asked as a military marquis to find a cat on the street, he would not dare to disobey.

The Daningjing Army has three armies and three battalions. Guo Yuanqi is the commander of one of the battalions, and Xiao Yan often interacts with him.

I also know that the man is cunning and treacherous. It will probably take some time to find out anything this time. I hope that by the time the emperor asks him for the results, he will still have found nothing.

Xiao Yan's thoughts were wandering. When he crossed the main street, he caught a glimpse of Xu Shizhang and a little medicine boy. They hurriedly passed by him, and because of the pedestrians crossing their paths, he didn't see him.

Xiao Yan looked back and saw Xu Shizhang in such a panic that he almost bumped into a passerby.

I had met this Xu Yuanpan once or twice before when he was treating his father's legs. He always had a steady and solemn image.

This was the first time he had seen such panic and recklessness. Just as Xiao Yan was about to turn around, he heard the two men talking.

"How is Lu Ziqing now?"

"He vomited a lot of blood, and I don't know the specific situation. Judge Xu, let me help you get the medicine box."

"hurry up!"

Xiao Yan shuddered and subconsciously looked at the blood on the ground. A chill suddenly ran through his body. Without thinking, he ran back.

Before Xu Shizhang, with his old arms and legs, could even walk up the stairs, Xiao Yan rushed in first and looked around.

The imperial doctors were frightened by the sudden panic and stood still. After seeing who was coming, all of them looked unnatural.

Xiao Yan hurriedly searched several rooms but didn't see anyone, so he grabbed an imperial physician who was about to greet him in the corridor.

"Where's Lu Ziqing?"

He doesn't like to laugh, and coupled with the fact that he often kills people, he has a murderous look. The more anxious he is, the more obvious his ferocious look becomes.

The old doctor looked into Xiao Yan's eyes, his legs and feet went limp, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"In... in the lounge. I'll take you there."

He strode across the corridor to the outside of the lounge, and before he entered, he heard anxious voices in the room.

"Vomiting—"

"Ah! Doctor Lu vomited blood again."

"Go and see if Xu Yuanpan is back, go!"

As Xiao Yan stepped into the door, he bumped into a medicine boy who came out, and the medicine boy screamed.

He walked past the medicine boy, his eyes fixed on the anxious person beside the couch, and walked over in three or two steps.

Lu Ziqing was pale, with bloodstains on his face, body, and head.

Blood vomited out of his mouth and soaked into the large white cloth that Chi Musheng was holding, instantly staining it red. The blood that was not absorbed flowed down his hands onto the couch.

Chi Musheng's hands were covered in blood, and he was about to chase Xiao Yan out when he heard the voice of the medicine boy behind him.

"President Xu is here, here he is!"

Chi Musheng and Xu Yuanpan each prepared medicine for rescue, without looking up, and talked to the people standing next to them.

"My Lord, please go out first."

Xiao Yan stared at Lu Ziqing, not knowing what he was thinking, and stood there without moving. Chi Musheng urged the medicine boy.

"Changsheng, please ask the Marquis to leave."

Changsheng didn't care about overstepping his bounds and pushed Xiao Yan out, "My Lord, please go out first and don't interfere with the two imperial doctors' treatment."

Xiao Yan stood under the eaves, staring at the tightly closed wooden door.

Time seemed to be very long at this moment, so long that he didn't know how many times he had walked around the yard. His thumbs kept rubbing his fists behind his back, and he didn't even notice Changsheng handing him water.

From time to time, imperial doctors would pass by and secretly look at him, and then start talking about it when they returned to the office.

"Have you heard? Lu Ziqing seems to have been punished in the palace, and he vomited a lot of blood on the street outside." Doctor Wang wiped the sweat off his face and said, "I just saw it when I got back."

"Is this true?" Doctor Sun was about to leave, but upon hearing this, he immediately returned. "Who did he offend?"

Li Limu was busy writing the prescription when he took over the conversation.

"The Empress in the palace is not easy to mess with. I'm afraid someone dislikes him and wants to teach him a lesson. This time he's fallen flat on his face."

Lu Quan chuckled and sat down at his workstation. "This is the first time he has experienced the rules of the palace."

Speaking of the Empress in the Harem, the imperial doctors present are no strangers to her.

The Empress Dowager is gentle and a model for the country, and she is also very kind to the palace ladies.

The virtuous concubine also had a good temper, but she worshipped Buddha all year round and didn't care about worldly affairs. However, there were two people who were the most difficult to talk to.

Doctor Wang guessed, "I think it's most likely that he offended the Imperial Noble Consort or the Empress Chen."

Imperial Physician Sun smiled and said, "Well, it's his luck, he just happened to offend the two most difficult people in the palace."

Doctor Shen came in from outside and started to speak, "I heard about Lu Ziqing's situation. What do you think, will Marquis Dingbei stand up for him?"

"Hehehe——"

As soon as Doctor Shen finished speaking, a few laughs were heard. Several people looked over and saw Lu Quan stroking his beard and saying.

"Old Shen, you're such a joke! No matter how much Marquis Dingbei values ​​Lu Ziqing and how close their relationship is, he wouldn't offend the Empress of the Harem for such a small figure, right?"

"Old Lu has a point." Doctor Sun said with a smile, "Xiao Yan was able to have a say in the previous dynasty, but this time in the harem, I'm afraid he's powerless."

"Hahaha--"

Everyone smiled in tacit understanding.

An hour later, the wooden door finally opened, and Xiao Yan immediately walked in upon hearing the sound.

The person on the couch was covered in blood, his eyes were closed, and he was motionless as if he was lifeless.
