It turned out that Ye Shi was also a person with her own ideas, and she had obtained the power to order the imperial physician around. The first person she wanted to deal with was Lin Yuan, who had competed with her for favor and bullied her in the past. Moreover, in order to be on the safe side, Ye Xiu did not take the old route of framing and poisoning Lin Yuan, which would have been easy but risky, as it could have backfired and harmed herself if things went too far. So she bypassed herself and directly let Wu Yu Shi and others go and deal with Lin Yuan instead.

  Xiao Huanghou knew that Ye Shi had made her move when she saw the two female doctors treating Lin Wan. Ye Shi had set up a trap, and Xiao Huanghou also had to follow along with the play. To be honest, Xiao Huanghou was quite satisfied with Ye Shi's plan, and Lin Wan, that sly fox, got what was coming to her for being overly flattering in front of the Emperor and falling into their trap without being invited, which really saved them a lot of effort.

  At this time, most of the imperial physicians had gone to Rong Guo Gong Fu, leaving only Wu Yu Yi, her trusted personal physician. To tell the truth, more than half of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were people she had bribed, and even if they wouldn't do things for her, they didn't dare go against her either! Even if Lin Yin wanted to turn the tables later and invite someone else to diagnose and treat her, the result would still be the same.

  Lin Yuanshu's serious injury had just barely healed, and at this time it was said that she was ill to the point of near death, the credibility was extremely high, and Tuoba Hong would not have doubted it either.

  A woman who cannot bear children and is not suitable for serving in the bedchamber, what value does she have left in the harem? The empress dowager, who once cherished and appreciated her, would immediately abandon her. The emperor, whose life was saved by her, even if he still harbors old feelings, after a long time without sharing a bed, how much longer can that little bit of affection last? Wouldn't it be easy to let Lin Yu die quietly like the silent consort of years ago?

  The best part is that Lin Yan's body is not good, which is true. Even if the matter is exposed at that time, Empress Xiao can explain it as - this period of recuperation has improved, or Wu Yu's medical skills are not good, and the diagnosis is wrong. Heart and lung damage is a disease that is easy to deceive, anyone who has had a serious illness or suffered a serious injury will more or less leave behind heart and lung problems, but Wu Yu is too serious, saying it too heavily, completely not enough to deceive the king, let alone investigate what "behind-the-scenes manipulation" and so on.

  The worst result is that Wu Yuanyi will be dismissed from his post. According to the benefits given by Empress Xiao, as long as he doesn't lose his life, those silver coins are enough for his whole family to spend for 500 years, so what does he care about an official position?

  "After returning, Concubine Wei... Concubine Wei was because of the arrow wound that she fell ill... " Wu Yuanyi knelt down to report back, but no longer had the calm and composed demeanor from earlier, and his words also started to become hesitant."

  "Liáng Imperial Physician, you go and treat Concubine Wei." The Empress Dowager's ambiguous smile swept across Wu Imperial Physician's face, ignoring his words, only instructing Liáng Imperial Physician with one sentence.

  Before the empress could speak, Imperial Physician Liang had already walked up to Lin Yuan and bowed, saying: "Please allow me to take Your Highness's pulse."

  "Empress Dowager..." The Empress suddenly spoke up. The Empress Dowager turned her head towards her, her eyes calm and unruffled.

  The queen smiled and handed a cup of Pu'er tea to the empress dowager, saying: "Mother, have some tea first to dispel the cold air. You rushed over from Changle Palace in such a hurry, if you catch a chill it won't be good. Don't worry, there are countless famous doctors in the palace, how could they not cure Huixian?"

  "The empress dowager is right, I also think so." The voice of the empress dowager was like a bell from afar.

  "So, please, Imperial Physician Liang, take good care of Consort Yu's treatment." The Empress smiled faintly as before: "Since ancient times, medical practitioners not only need to have excellent medical skills but also understand how to conduct themselves. As the head of the Imperial Hospital, I believe you understand this principle best. You won't disappoint me, will you?"

  Liang Shouchang heard this, and with a slight bow to the empress, twirled his white beard and slowly replied: "Your Majesty's words are indeed correct."

  As he spoke, his fingers finally landed on Lin Yuen's wrist.

  Everyone's eyes in the palace were fixed on Liang Yu's fingers. Tuoba Hong's face showed worry, while the Empress and the Dowager Empress remained calm. Wei Jingfei and Ye Liangyu took a few steps forward as if they wanted to take a closer look, and Tianpin still stood at the back of the group, lowering her head in silence.

  It seemed like the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, not long or short, in the slightly anxious waiting of the people around him, Liang Yu physician put down his hand. He stood up and bowed again: "Just now, Wu Yu physician has already diagnosed the princess, I wonder what is Wu's decision?"

  "It's not just Wu Yuanyi, but also the two female doctors Wang and Sun who have diagnosed her. They all say that Jieyu's illness is severe, her heart and lungs were damaged by the arrow wound, and it will be difficult for her to give birth in the future. Moreover, there may be concerns about her life." Before Wu Yuanyi could speak, Tuoba Hong had already spoken up first.

  The empress's gaze fell on Wu Yuanyi, and she seemed to say casually as Taizong opened his mouth: "Although Wu Yuanyi is a skilled doctor, he is not as good as Liang Yuanyi. Liang Yuanyi, what do you think?"

  Wu Yu Yi met the Empress's gaze, his lips moving slightly, but ultimately said nothing. Liang Shou Chang bowed his head to glance at Wu Yu Yi, and cupped his hands in respect: "The diagnosis of Wu Yu Yi and the two female doctors has some truth to it. A weak heart and lungs, with stagnant energy throughout the body - these are all remnants of the illness that Your Majesty suffered from after being shot by an arrow."

  "Even you say that Jieyu is seriously ill!" Tuoba Hong's tone turned cold again: "A group of famous but useless mediocrities! The imperial hospital is no better than this!"

  "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is not a god." Liang Shouchang's face was pale: "However, Wu Imperial Physician and the two female doctors' diagnoses were only half correct. Consort Yu did indeed suffer from heart rate disorder and lung infection due to external injury, but it was far from being severe enough to be unsuitable for childbirth or life-threatening... Heart and lung weakness can be mild or severe, according to what I have seen, Consort Yu's illness has not affected the five internal organs, she is just weaker than normal people, and there is no problem with childbirth. Moreover, this disease can be cured by taking medicine for half a year, it's not a difficult task."

  Liáng Yùyī is the leader of the inner hospital, and upon hearing this, Tuòbá Hóng's face finally looked better. He hastily asked: "Oh? Is that really so?" After speaking, he still had some doubts: "Even if your medical skills are excellent, this is just your own words. Wu Yuyi and the other two female doctors all say the same thing. I don't know who to believe."

  At this point, Liang Shouchang stroked his beard and smiled: "Naturally, my diagnosis is the most accurate. The illness of Concubine Wei is not that serious, nor is there any difficulty in giving birth. Because, Concubine Wei is already pregnant for less than a month."

  The hall was as silent as frost.

  After a while, Wei Jingfei exclaimed: "Ah, this is good news......"

  "What a joy! What a great joy!" Tuoba Hong was overjoyed, and with one swift motion, he swept Lin Yuen off the ground and into his arms: "Yuen-er! You're having my child!"

  Lin Wan was dizzy from his shaking, but her face was still dull and expressionless, as if she didn't understand Liang Shouchang's words. Tuoba Hong only smiled and said: "Are you happy to the point of being silly? Wan'er, did you hear that? You're pregnant."

  "I... am pregnant?" Lin Wan's hand trembled as she touched her abdomen, her face filled with incredulity: "After being shot by an arrow, the imperial physician said that my body was weak and needed to be nursed back to health. And in the past, I was always frail, so getting pregnant is something I never dared to think about..."

  At this time, the empress dowager gently tapped the tea lid in her hand, and the clear and crisp sound made the crowd of people who were either overjoyed or bewildered or shocked somewhat sober. Her face was not turbulent, as if she had not just heard the joyful news that Lin Yu was pregnant, and then she said very calmly: "Your Majesty, since Yu'er is already pregnant, the so-called difficulties in giving birth, it's not suitable for her to serve in bed, and it's also a worry for her life, are all nonsense. I can also rest assured."

  Tuoba Hong's face sank, his eyes gleaming like a knife as he swept his gaze over the two female doctors and Wu Yuanyi. The two female doctors were already trembling with fear, their legs weak and unable to get up from the ground, their mouths babbling incoherently: "Your Majesty spare our lives, it's just that we're not skilled enough in medicine..."

  The empress's face showed a sneer, and she coldly said: "Is it just that your medical skills are not refined? The imperial physicians' medical skills have their strengths and weaknesses. Whether they say the heart and lung weakness is severe or mild, there is room for forgiveness. It's just that your medical skills are not as good as Imperial Physician Liang's. However, what puzzles me is that a woman's pregnancy is not like other illnesses where it's difficult to make a diagnosis. Even quack doctors can easily diagnose it, so why couldn't two female physicians and Imperial Physician Wu diagnose it?"

  "The Empress Dowager is right!" Tuoba Hong's eyes suddenly blazed with fiery anger. He had just been delighted, but now he remembered that there were still some dirty things to deal with. He stepped forward and kicked Wang Yiren in the chest, sending her crashing into the wall behind her, letting out a pained cry and vomiting blood. Tuoba Hong said viciously: "Speak, who instructed you to try to cover up the imperial heir and slander Hui'er?"

  "No, your servants dare not deceive you, your servants really did not diagnose it......" Wang medical girl had been kicked and was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. Another Sun medical girl knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Your servants are guilty, please have mercy on us and spare our lives..."

  "Your Majesty, you must do justice for Concubine Wei!" At this moment, Chu Xue, who was a slave, stepped forward and knelt down, daring to interject: "Your Majesty, they are slandering Concubine Wei, saying that she is not suitable for serving in the bedchamber. The Empress even almost took away her green jade tablet. If Your Majesty truly believes their nonsense today, wouldn't Concubine Wei be forced to retire and never serve in the bedchamber again?"

  "In that case, Concubine Mei will be trapped, and even if she is pregnant with the Emperor's child, he won't know about it. The person behind the scenes must kill her to silence her, two lives lost! Later on, they can just say Concubine Mei died of illness, who would suspect anything?"

  "These two female doctors keep saying that they are just not skilled in medicine, but as the Empress Dowager said, pregnancy is not a difficult or complicated illness. As imperial court doctors, can't they even diagnose pregnancy? Someone must have instructed them to harm Concubine Yu!"
