First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 465 The Imperial Physician Farewell

The wounds have been cleaned.

Qin Wanfang's condition was not very good. Her bones were broken in many places. Although they had been fixed by Zhou Ziqi, she was completely unable to move.

Her internal organs also suffered some damage. The most important thing was that the wounds on her body were too large, and the flesh was even broken in some places.

The eldest princess was so ruthless that even though these imperial doctors were used to seeing the private affairs in the palace, they couldn't help but sigh.

As for the child, he was also seriously injured.

The child woke up once in the middle of the night, his voice was hoarse. He looked at his father pitifully with his only remaining eye, and then fainted again.

Just this one glance made Chen Xinghe feel heartbroken.

He and the eldest princess also had children, but those two children had always been raised by people hired by the eldest princess, and they were not close to him. Moreover, those two children were precious since they were born, and even when they experienced a period of war, no one suffered as much as these two children.

His status in the Princess's Mansion was not prominent, and the two children also regarded him as an appendage of the Princess's Mansion and dispensable.

Even though the two children would respectfully call him father on the surface when they met, they did not take him as their father in private, and only regarded him as an existence dependent on the eldest princess.

So the admiration contained in the child's look towards him broke Chen Xinghe's heart.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery could not get in and could not see what was going on inside, but she could tell through the white cloth that Qin Wanfang and the child were in a very bad condition.

She looked at Su Jixiang and said, "Young man, would it be okay if we leave these two here to recuperate?"

"Madam, our Pavilion Master has interacted with you several times, and you know what kind of person he is. Since he is willing to help you for your sake, he will do his best to cure these two people." Su Jixiang replied.

This curtain can only block the view but not the sound. Su Jixiang said this for the person behind the curtain to hear.

She was giving face to the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and asked Chen Xinghe to accept this favor from her.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery could hear it and was grateful in her heart. She knew that the owner of the Miaoshou Pavilion was a kind-hearted man, but she didn't expect that each of the medicine boys in his pavilion was so smart.

After hearing what was said outside, Chen Xinghe bowed deeply to Zhou Ziqi, who had already treated Qin Wanfang's injuries. "Pavilion Master, regardless of whether Wanfang can be rescued or not, I will remember this favor. As you said, Wanfang is seriously injured and cannot move. She and her child will recuperate here with you. I will cover all expenses, so you don't need to worry."

Zhou Ziqi also stood up and returned the greeting. "Your Highness, rest assured. Now that the person has entered the gate of our Miaoshou Pavilion and has the guidance of two imperial physicians, Miaoshou Pavilion will definitely do its best to treat him. However, my words are not influential. If the Princess's people come to ask for the person..."

This is the capital city, and the eldest princess's words can really crush people.

Her instructions before leaving clearly showed that she did not want the mother and child to come back to life, so the people could be kept in Miaoshou Pavilion, but the safety of everyone in Miaoshou Pavilion should be protected by Chen Xinghe.

Chen Xinghe naturally didn't need to worry about it. He immediately said, "Pavilion Master, don't worry. I will immediately dispatch my own men to fully protect the safety of Miaoshou Pavilion."

His eyes were sharp as he said this.

The eldest princess went too far. Not only did she not take him seriously, she was also cruel and ruthless, bullying him because he had no one under her control!

But does he really have no one on his side?

Chen Xinghe sneered in his heart.

He looked at the two imperial physicians and said, "Please help take care of him here."

The two doctors looked embarrassed and exchanged glances before one of them addressed Chen Xinghe, "Your Highness, the Princess has clearly instructed us not to stay here for too long. We are lowly officials and dare not disobey the Princess' orders. Furthermore, the Imperial Hospital has regulations that, without the approval of the Chief Physician, we doctors who are out on medical duty are not allowed to stay overnight and must return to the hospital to report. If the palace needs help, we won't be held responsible!"

Chen Xinghe's face fell.

He looked at the two imperial doctors with a serious gaze, which made them feel uneasy.

However, he still said, "Then I'll trouble you two. You can go back first!" There is indeed a rule in the Imperial Medical Bureau that prohibits doctors on duty from staying overnight outside. If there is an emergency in the palace and manpower is needed but the doctors on duty cannot be found, then it will be a big deal!

The imperial physicians on duty can indeed see patients with the approval of the chief physician, but they are first and foremost the imperial physicians of His Majesty, and matters in the palace are of paramount importance!

After Chen Xinghe finished speaking, the two men felt as if they had been pardoned. They both packed up their things and stood up to say goodbye.

Hurry and leave! They now feel like they are in a difficult situation, and they will offend one side anyway. Compared to the eldest princess, they would rather offend the prince consort. After all, who can stand the eldest princess's temper? If the woman and child were really saved by the Master of the Miraculous Hands Pavilion, the two of them would not be jealous, after all, no one could withstand the eldest princess's anger.

Before leaving, they did not forget to glance at Zhou Ziqi, thinking that the owner of Miaoshou Pavilion was, after all, a common doctor, and did not know how powerful the princess was. If the person died, it would be fine, but if the person was really rescued, Miaoshou Pavilion would no longer have to continue operating in the capital!

Seeing the two of them walking so fast, Chen Xinghe couldn't help but sneer.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Zhou Ziqi naturally knew what the two doctors' glances at him meant when they left, so he wasn't afraid. He trusted his wife, and since she had asked him to save someone, he had to. So after the doctors left, he said to Chen Xinghe, "Now that they're gone, it'll be much easier for me to save people."

Chen Xinghe looked up at Zhou Ziqi, who was standing in the room. Although she was wearing a veil so that his features could not be seen clearly, she gave people a sense of tranquility that inexplicably calmed people's restlessness.

"Thank you very much, Pavilion Master. Don't worry, I'm not a petty or ungrateful person." Chen Xinghe thought for a moment and said, "As long as you've done your best, I'll appreciate your kindness."

Su Jixiang, who was standing outside the curtain, naturally heard Chen Xinghe's words, so his heart softened slightly. As expected, Wei Ling had guessed it right.

"Your Highness, Pavilion Master, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery requests an audience." Su Jixiang announced at the right time.

"Come in." Chen Xinghe said.

Although the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery usually follows the eldest princess, if she had not been holding the eldest princess by her side today, Qin Wanfang and the child would have been killed by the eldest princess before she could even get there.
