Chapter 145 Settlement
After this trap, Xiao Jingyi was a little impressed by his third brother.
He has already said it. If he backs down and is unwilling to take responsibility, he will be seen as an irresponsible person in the eyes of others.
How can a person who is irresponsible be of great use?
But if he followed the Third Prince's words and was willing to take on the responsibility, then he would fall right into the Third Prince's trap.
If something happens, they can use it as an excuse to punish him.
What a good chess move that combines both offense and defense.
Unfortunately, the Third Prince miscalculated and underestimated Yun Fuling's medical skills.
Since Yun Fuling had spoken, Xiao Jingyi believed that she was confident that she could cure Jing**.
Seeing the eldest prince, the third prince and Xiao Jingyi arguing, the other princes either kept silent and huddled like quails and refused to help either side, or sided with the eldest prince and the third prince and did not agree with Yun Fuling treating Jing **.
Only the fifth prince and the eighth prince spoke a few fair words on behalf of Xiao Jingyi.
The Queen Mother sternly stopped everyone, "Enough!"
"Your father is still unconscious, and you are the first to start a fight here!"
The princes fell silent instantly.
At this moment, an ethereal and pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the hall, coming closer and closer.
"So what if she's a woman? Since the imperial doctors are helpless and this lady Yun dares to step forward, why not let her give it a try?"
Seeing the visitor, all the princes and imperial doctors bowed.
"I've met my aunt!"
"Greetings, His Majesty!"
The visitor was dressed in a moon-white robe, with only a white jade hairpin pinned on his long black hair. Although his outfit was simple, it was hard to hide his nobleness.
That face, as beautiful as a peach or plum, instantly made the whole hall seem brighter.
This person is none other than Pingle ***.
Lady Pingle stepped forward and bowed to the Queen Mother, "Pingle greets the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Get up, why are you here?"
Ping Le said: "I heard that my brother was seriously ill and could not stay in the palace, so I came to visit him."
As he spoke, Ping Le stepped forward and took the Queen Mother's hand, saying coquettishly, "Mother, since this Lady Yun dares to speak, she must be capable. Why not let her try?"
The Queen Mother patted Pingle's hand and said, "This is a serious matter, don't take it lightly!"
The mother and daughter looked very intimate, and people who didn't know the situation would think they were real mother and daughter.
The imperial physician with a white beard standing by suddenly said to Yun Fuling, "This lady's surname is Yun. May I ask if she is the lady Yun who became famous in Jiangzhou?"
Yun Fuling nodded, "Yes, it's my daughter!"
The imperial physician with a white beard immediately showed a look of satisfaction, and he cupped his hands towards Queen Mother Cui and said, "Queen Mother, this Lady Yun is indeed a superb doctor."
"I have heard that there is a female doctor in Jiangzhou. Prime Minister Lu's youngest son fell off a horse and was trampled by the horse's hooves. He is doomed to die."
"But this Lady Yun opened her abdomen to save someone, and pulled Young Master Lu back from the brink of death."
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "Ouyang Yuanzheng, are you serious?"
When Yun Fuling heard the empress dowager's address, she realized that the old doctor with white beard was actually Ouyang Ming, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
The eldest disciple of her great-grandfather.
Ouyang Ming replied: "This matter has been widely circulated in the apricot forest. The Queen Mother will know the truth once she investigates."
As soon as he finished speaking, another middle-aged imperial physician standing beside him also spoke up, "Your Majesty, I also know about this matter. I received a letter from my father a few days ago, mentioning that there was a female physician in Jiangzhou. The story of Young Master Lu falling off a horse was widely spread in Jiangzhou, and Madam Yun's abdominal surgery was even more miraculous."
The Queen Mother: "Since both Dean Ouyang and Imperial Physician Zheng said so, I think this Lady Yun is indeed quite capable."
Before she finished her words, the last doctor standing in the group suddenly stepped forward and said, "Please think twice, Queen Mother. Even if this woman knows some medical skills, she is so young and probably hasn't seen many diseases."
"Saving Young Master Lu might just be a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
"Your Majesty's body is worth a ton of gold. How can you let an inexperienced female doctor treat you?"
Yun Fuling took a quick glance and immediately recognized that the person who spoke was Yun Gansong.
She hadn't yet settled the score with Yun Gansong, but she didn't expect that he would jump out first.
Yun Fuling smiled slightly and said calmly, "Although I am young, my family practices medicine and I have been exposed to it since I was a child. In addition, I am gifted, so my medical skills are naturally not ordinary."
"Besides, a concubine who secretly learned medical skills can enter the Imperial Hospital as an imperial physician. I am a legitimate heir of medical skills, so I am naturally much better than you!"
"You can treat His Majesty, why can't I?"
"You..." Yun Gansong's eyes widened with anger and he almost vomited blood.
Yun Gansong recognized Yun Fuling as soon as he met her.
He didn't expect that the killer he hired at a huge price was so useless that he couldn't even kill a woman.
What was even more unexpected was that she hooked up with Prince Yi and even followed Prince Yi to the Zichen Palace.
Because of a nursery rhyme that suddenly became popular in Beijing, Yun Gansong has been plagued by rumors and has been having a lot of bad luck lately.
He has been trying to find the source of the nursery rhyme, but he can't find it.
I wanted to suppress the rumors, but they only spread more violently.
In recent days, no one in the Jichunhou Mansion dared to go out, for fear of losing face outside.
When he saw Yun Fuling at this time, Yun Gansong finally realized that the nursery rhymes that had been popular in Beijing recently must have something to do with her.
After not seeing her for a few years, this little girl is no longer the weak and vulnerable girl she used to be. She hits him directly where it hurts.
And she appeared in Zichen Palace again today. If she really cured Jing **, wouldn’t she be even more arrogant?
By then, his situation would be even worse.
So when he saw that the Queen Mother's attitude was softening, Yun Gansong immediately jumped out to stop it.
But he didn't expect that Yun Fuling would dare to break up with him in public, pointing out his two weaknesses: secretly learning medical skills and having a concubine.
It just so happens that these two things are what Yun Gansong hates the most and what he feels most helpless about.
He had no choice of his origins.
However, his bloodline restricted him from being isolated from the Yun family and preventing him from learning the Yun family's medical skills.
If he wanted to have a bright future, he could only learn in secret.
Seeing Yun Gansong's red face and speechless appearance, the other imperial doctors couldn't help but think of the nursery rhyme that had gone viral recently. They secretly exchanged glances with each other, looking like they were enjoying themselves.
Xiao Jingyi then said, "Grandmother, I am willing to guarantee Madam Yun."
"If Madam Yun cannot cure my father, I will be guilty of the same crime as her!"
As soon as Xiao Jingyi's powerful words came out, everyone in the hall had different expressions.
The eldest prince was sarcastic at first and looked down on Yun Fuling, but when he saw that Xiao Jingyi was so confident and dared to guarantee, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Could it be that Madam Yun’s medical skills are really very high and she can cure my father’s illness?
