Soon, an imperial physician in a blue coat came over, about fifty years old, it was Imperial Physician He.
"Doctor He, why are you here?" Mrs. Zhang asked first.
Imperial Physician He looked down at Mrs. Zhang, then at Rong Yue, cleared her throat, "I'm here to check the old lady's pulse."
Zhang's eyelids twitched, and soon realized that something was wrong, and looked at Imperial Physician He meaningfully, "Didn't you just get your pulse yesterday, the old lady is sleeping at this hour, please don't disturb me, this is what the imperial physician told you of."
Imperial Physician He was woken up early in the morning, and now his back clothes are already wet, and his forehead is sweating non-stop.
Having been an imperial physician for so many years, how could she not understand Zhang's subtext? Just as she was thinking about how to speak, she heard Rong Yue clear her throat.
"Imperial Physician He, it's not that Rong Yue dislikes your poor medical skills. My grandmother has always been in good health, and she hasn't improved after half a year. Rong Yue is really worried."
Although there was a smile on Rong Yue's face, the smile didn't reach his eyes, his eyes were slightly cold, and there was an invisible sense of oppression, which made Imperial Physician He bend down unconsciously, and a dense layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Rong Yue, the old lady is old and can't stand the trouble. Aren't you embarrassing the imperial doctor He? Besides, this matter was ordered by the general. The general is the old lady's son. Can you still harm the old lady?"
Mrs. Zhang has always been gentle and generous in front of her servants, and she is rarely so serious, so it can be seen that she is angry.
Mrs. Zhang is a stepmother who disciplines Rong Yue. Her identity is a bit inappropriate. To avoid being gossip, she simply moved General Rong out. No matter what Rong Yue's current and future status is, General Rong is Rong Yue's biological father. If Rong Yue disobeyed, it would be a big disobedience.
The more Mrs. Zhang stopped her like this, the more Concubine Xiao felt strange, there must be something wrong inside.
"Physician He, I don't know what disease Mrs. Rong has and why she hasn't improved for so long. Can you really not bother me at all?"
Concubine Xiao suddenly spoke, and Imperial Physician He who asked the question was stunned for a moment, and looked nervously at Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Concubine Xiao, "Who is this girl?"
"I'm Miss Nine of Dongming Xiangfu. I came here to accompany Rong Yue back to Xiyue to visit the old lady. Rong Yue has always been thinking about the old lady, so I hurried back all the way. I didn't even have time to go to the palace, so I came first. The Rong Mansion came to visit."
Xiao Yu's delicate and beautiful face is really unparalleled, and one can't help but take a second look. Zhang has noticed this woman since just now.
Hearing Concubine Xiao's words, Mrs. Zhang knew it was not easy to deal with.
"Yue'er is indeed a filial child, and it's not in vain for the old lady to love her." Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "But now the old lady is not as good as before, and it's not that I am unreasonable. I think about the old lady's body. , I can only be a villain, the old lady is old and can't stand any stimulation, and Rong Yue got married a few days ago, exhausted and worried, and fell ill for a while."
Mrs. Zhang looked helpless and persistent, even though the two of them talked out of their mouths, they would not let go, and they would always have something to make things right.
Imperial Physician He nodded immediately, "Madam's words are very true. The old lady's body is fine, but her heart knot is difficult to solve, so she repeats it repeatedly. As long as you rest in peace for a while and untie your heart knot, the natural medicine will arrive. cured."
Rong Yue sneered, but she was stopped by Concubine Xiao when she wanted to speak, "Since Imperial Doctor He and Madam both said that there is no problem and needs to recuperate, it is not easy for Rong Yue to come back, and he is not in a hurry, my father also told me that he must Only when Rong Yue is satisfied can she return home with peace of mind, it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer."
Speaking of which, Concubine Xiao glanced at Rong Yue, "Rong Yue, the palace gate should open in half an hour, let's greet the emperor without delay."
Concubine Xiao seemed to have given up on the idea of going in to visit Mrs. Rong, but what she said made Zhang's face change slightly.
If he is not allowed to enter, he will enter the palace to find the emperor to make decisions. Another potential meaning is that the old lady will not leave Xiyue when she is not well.
This is clearly a threat!
Sure enough, Rong Yue also echoed, "Since Mrs. He can't cure grandma, and there are countless doctors in West Vietnam, I'm going to ask the emperor to send more imperial doctors to come over for diagnosis and treatment. I don't believe that grandma won't get better!"
Imperial Physician He's face was reddened by Rong Yue's words, and he looked at Mrs. Zhang embarrassingly, a little at a loss.
"Rong Yue, this is a family matter of the Rong family, why bother to involve an outsider, if things get worse, the old lady will only get angry."
Mrs. Zhang's face darkened, she didn't agree with Rong Yue's actions, and accused Xiao Yu of meddling in public and private.
Concubine Xiao smiled and said to Rong Yue, "Ma'am, what you said is very true, it's not good for anyone if you make a big fuss, since the old lady doesn't know you're back, why don't you ask the emperor to change two imperial physicians, and when the old lady's condition is stable, You just go to visit again, this way it won't irritate the old lady, and you can rest assured."
Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath in her heart, and looked at Concubine Xiao displeased.
"This is the Rong family and not the Right Prime Minister's mansion, it's not up to you to dictate!"
Not far away, Rong Ling hurried over and directly accused Concubine Xiao, "You, an outsider, meddle in the affairs of Rong's house and encourage elder sister to make trouble. What is your purpose?"
Seeing that Rong Ling didn't stop her from speaking, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and acquiesced to Rong Ling's words.
"Outsider?" Concubine Xiao sneered, "Rong Yue is about to marry my father, and she will be my mother in the future, so she can't be regarded as an outsider. This marriage was facilitated by my wife. Speaking of which, I have to thank my wife for finding such a beautiful woman for the prime minister's house. Nice hostess."
Rong Ling glanced at Xiao Concubine, slightly mocking, "Isn't that unmarried? Besides, that's the relationship between you and your eldest sister. You're not that close to the Rong family. Don't mess with your relatives!"
"It turns out that I misunderstood. Miss Rong Er didn't regard Rong Yue as the eldest daughter of the Rong family at all. According to Dong Ming's custom, if my father marries Rong Yue, the Rong family can be regarded as my maternal ancestral family. I have to call my wife grandma, is it not the custom in Xiyue?"
Xiao Concubine had an innocent face, and her eyes were full of cunning, extremely agile.
The grandma's cry made Zhang's goosebumps rise, while Rong Ling stared at Concubine Xiao angrily, "My mouth is full of nonsense, I didn't mean that at all!"
"What does that mean? Are you looking down on the Xiangfu, or do you think that the Xiangfu has overshadowed the Rong family, so you don't recognize this marriage?"
Xiao Concubine asked another question, her eyes suddenly flashed coldness, her chin was raised, and she became quite arrogant, her whole body was no less imposing than Rong Ling.
"Since the Rong family doesn't look down on the Xiangfu, why send Rong Yue to marry him? It seems that I am meddling in my own business. If I have a chance to see the Emperor Xiyue later, I have to ask him carefully."
Rong Ling stomped her feet angrily, she didn't mean that at all, she was all led astray by Concubine Xiao.
"you!"
"Miss Xiao Jiu is quick-talking and has a chic personality. She really deserves her reputation when she sees her today. Ling'er is young and ignorant, so how could she look down on the Xiangfu?"
Mrs. Zhang paused as she spoke, "It's just that Sister Yue and Master Xiang are not married after all. They will be good in-laws in the future, but you, a girl, meddle too much, and it will be criticized. Ling'er is doing it for your own good." Said so."
Zhang's lip service is really good, he can turn death into life, no matter what you say, there is always a way to make it up, and by the way, give the other party a bad reputation.
"Then don't bother Rong Er to worry about it. After all, she didn't bring her up with her own hands. It is also right for Rong Er to not miss Mrs. Rong. She is so impatient than Shang Rongyue."
Xiao Concubine glanced at Rong Ling with a half-smile, Rong Ling blushed, and stared fiercely at Xiao Concubine's magnificent face.
"It's getting late, it's time for us to enter the palace. As for how to do it, it depends on the emperor's will." Xiao Yu said again.
Rong Yue smiled, "You're right, it doesn't mean that some people refuse to obey the order."
Speaking of this, Rong Yue glanced at Imperial Physician He again, and Imperial Physician He shivered involuntarily, Rong Yue sneered, "If someone cheats and deliberately makes trouble, they will lose their heads!"
"Plop!"
Imperial Physician He's legs softened and he knelt down on the ground, his entire back was drenched with sweat. Looking at this posture, it was impossible for Rong Yue to let it go, and Imperial Physician He did not dare to imagine the consequences when the trouble came to the imperial court.
"Miss Rong, please stay..."
"Mr. He!" Zhang's heart was in her throat, and she looked at Mr. He coldly, with a very obvious warning.
Rong Yue stopped in her tracks, raised her eyebrows and looked at Imperial Physician He, only to hear Imperial Physician He swallow her throat, "I'm old, I'm a little powerless, and my medical skills are limited, I really can't take care of the old lady's condition, please Madame please ask Gao Ming, the old man will enter the palace to bid farewell to the emperor."
Mrs. Zhang clenched her fists tightly, her eyes seemed to erupt with anger, "Physician He, you are in control of the old lady's illness. If someone else changes, I'm really worried. You also have old people, so you should be sympathetic to the feelings of the younger generation." Ah, you can't let it go."
Mrs. Zhang's overt and covert warnings put Dr. He in a dilemma. No one would believe that there was no collusion between the two.
"Ma'am, why do you have to force others to make things difficult for you? Imperial Physician He has more than enough heart but not enough power. Why do you have to joke about grandma's life? Besides, grandma is not a serious problem. Why do you have to see Imperial Physician He?"
Rong Yue's eyes froze, and he glanced at Qing Yu, "Send a letter to His Highness, tell His Highness what happened here, and say that he won't be entering the palace for the time being, and begs the crown prince to give him an imperial physician."
"I'm going now, servant girl." Qing Yu nodded, turned his head and walked away, his posture was very flexible, and before Mrs. Zhang had time to stop him, Qing Yu disappeared.
"Sister Yue..."
Rong Yue glanced at Mrs. Zhang, "You can say whatever you want, for the sake of grandma's safety, it doesn't matter if others say I'm unfilial, I will definitely find out today!"
Rong Yue had an ominous premonition, Mrs. Rong must have been tampered with, otherwise she wouldn't get better in half a year, Zhang's repeated obstruction, something must have happened!
"Big sister went out for a while, and her temper became arbitrary. She didn't take mother's words to heart at all, and she did whatever she wanted. You're in vain!"
Rong Ling kept prodding Rong Yue, just blocking the door and not allowed to enter.
"what happened!"
General Rong came striding forward, Rong Ling was overjoyed when she saw this, and hurried forward to meet him, explaining everything in detail.
General Rong glanced at Rong Yue with displeasure, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is still a trace of disgust in those eyes.
"Have you had enough nonsense? When can you calm down? Once you come back, you can't stop making trouble. What are you going to do!"
General Rong has a straightforward personality and never hides his emotions, so anyone with a discerning eye can see his dislike for Rong Yue.
Rong Yue had already been mentally prepared, but she still couldn't help feeling sour, and tried to smile, "Mr. He is unable to take good care of grandma. Why does Madam insist on obstructing her? Father has been in the border for many years, so don't you have any doubts? My purpose of coming here is very simple, I just want to find out about my grandmother's condition."
General Rong frowned upon hearing this, and Mrs. Zhang quickly said, "Husband, you also know about the condition of the old lady. She needs to rest in bed, and emotional agitation will aggravate the condition of the old lady. That's why the concubine prevents me from entering. I don't want to go." Misunderstood by sister Yue"
Mrs. Zhang returned to her charming and gentle appearance in the past, and looked at General Rong aggrievedly, "Sister Yue is back this time, the old lady will be very happy to know, but the old lady's body cannot withstand great joy and sorrow..."
Zhang's words are all for the sake of the old lady, even the maids can't help being moved when they hear it.
General Rong's heart immediately turned to Mrs. Zhang, and he glanced at Rong Yue, "Your grandmother is fine, she is just recuperating. When she gets better, she will be happy to know your filial piety."
After all, she disagreed with Rong Yue's visit. Rong Yue sneered, "If you can't disturb me, why did you send grandma to Qingshan to recuperate? Grandma is seriously ill, how can she afford to travel all the way? Qingshan doesn't have an imperial doctor waiting for you at any time. , what if something goes wrong?"
Zhang's eyelids twitched, how could she know so clearly
Rong Yue said again, "It's such a coincidence that I didn't send my grandmother to Qingshan to recuperate after half a year. Instead, I heard that I was going to come back to visit, so I rushed to send my grandmother away. I don't know if this is the father's or the wife's. Why? What are you trying to hide by insisting on obstructing me from seeing my grandmother?"
General Rong's face changed slightly, "It's not because you went back to the mansion, you insisted on living in Rong's mansion, what should you do if the noise disturbed your grandmother?"
"It's okay not to let me see it, but it's okay to let the imperial doctor feel the pulse of grandma?"
Zhang's heart tightened, and she was still entangled in this matter while talking. Could it be that Rong Yue knew something
"Husband, Imperial Physician He has always been in the diagnosis and treatment, and he changed people rashly. In case mother asks..."
"If you ask, just say that Dr. He is not feeling well and is on vacation, can grandma still ask these questions?"
Rong Yue's half smile was not a smile, she insisted on fighting Zhang's to the end, not giving an inch.
Mrs. Zhang's excuse is totally unjustifiable. It is normal for the imperial physician of the imperial hospital to change at any time. If another imperial physician is diagnosed and treated, Mrs. Rong will not ask any more questions. Even if she does, she just needs to find an excuse to cover it up.
Mrs. Zhang choked, moved her lips, and only heard Rong Yue say again, "Just send an imperial doctor to check the pulse, and if he doesn't prescribe medicine or give needles, it won't affect anything at all. I want to hear the imperial doctor say it's fine, otherwise How can I feel at ease, Madam will not disagree?"
"However, the imperial physician He just checked the pulse yesterday. How could he rashly change to an imperial physician this early in the morning, so how could it not cause people to be suspicious?"
Mrs. Zhang is not willing to let go, and glanced at General Rong, "Hey, I also know that the eldest lady is worried and suspects that the concubine has done something wrong, which is not good for the old lady. It's not that the concubine doesn't want to agree, but just for the sake of the old lady , Husband agrees."
Zhang looked sadly at General Rong, and made a move to retreat, as if he had suffered a lot.
Rong Yue said very quickly, "Madam is worrying too much. How could Rong Yue doubt Madam? Rong Yue came back all the way, worried that grandma would think about it, but Madam kept obstructing her, so Rong Yue had no choice but to offend her. Madam is full of filial piety." Rong Yue was moved, if someone fooled her and delayed her grandmother's illness, it would be a disaster."
Rong Yue turned the words around, it wasn't that she wanted to be suspicious, but that Zhang's repeated obstruction made her suspicious.
"Sister Yue..."
"Isn't what I said the truth? Imperial Physician He himself said that his medical skills are not good. Madam insisted on forcing Imperial Physician He to treat grandma. No wonder grandma has been ill for several months and has not recovered. Grandmother is old. Even if she recovers, she will not be able to recover." Competing with Madam for power and profit, since Imperial Physician He doesn't look down on Grandma, why doesn't Madam let another Imperial Physician?"
After Rong Yue finished speaking, General Rong looked at Mrs. Zhang questioningly, with a trace of inquiry and suspicion in his eyes.
Mrs. Zhang's heart also jumped, and her throat tightened, "Sister Yue, don't get me wrong, of course I hope that the old lady will get better soon."
