Chapter 155 Inside and Outside the Palace
Lin Ziqin originally thought that her background was going to be exposed. She panicked and her brain was in a mess. Unexpectedly, what Bian Yuzhen said was about the tattoo. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly calmed down.
Hyman is by no means the kind of person who will talk about others behind his back. Even if she wants to talk about it for some reason, she won't let others hear her. Then there was only one explanation. She deliberately let Bian Yuzhen hear it!
It seems that she had expected that she would change her mind, so she laid the pawn of Bian Yuzhen.
Thinking of this layer, Lin Ziqin's mood was contradictory. She didn't want to live up to Haiman's painstaking efforts, but she couldn't let go of her hatred for Jiang Shize.
If she admits that she has had leprosy here, she will lose 100% of the election, be demoted to a maid of honor, and have the opportunity to leave the palace after a few years; if she doesn't admit it, she will become a concubine according to the plan, get close to Jiang Shize, and find an opportunity to kill him to avenge Lin Zhengfeng!
"Qin Xuening, is the scar on your face the sequelae of leprosy? Is this true?" Queen Su waited for a long time and couldn't hear Lin Ziqin's answer, and asked harshly.
Lin Ziqin gritted her teeth and said, "If you go back to the Queen, no!"
She also knows that the harem is full of eccentricity. Maybe her life will be exposed by someone with intentions, and there will be only one way to die. She is not afraid of death. If she can kill her enemies, why not die?
When Bian Yuzhen heard her deny it, she was immediately anxious, "Queen, she lied. I heard it clearly. It's the sequelae of leprosy..."
Empress Su frowned unhappily, "Yes or no, I will ask myself clearly. You don't have to say more!"
"Yes!" Bian Yuzhen also realized that she had said too much and dared not say more, so she quickly shut up and lowered her head.
"Really not?" Empress Su stared at Lin Ziqin, "You should know what is the sin of deceiving me?"
"Yes, the girl knows!" Lin Ziqin responded.
Wen Caiqing has been carefully observing her expression and seeing that she was pale first, and then clenched her hands unnaturally. Obviously, there was something deception. Coupled with what Hyman asked for, it was expected that Lin Ziqin had indeed had leprosy. How could she let go of such a good opportunity?
"This one is yes, the other says no, and the argument goes on without basis, but it's endless!" Wen Caiqing glanced at Empress Su with a smile, "Don't you think so, Empress?"
Queen Su nodded slightly, "That's right." She glanced at the beautiful girl, "Huang Yuejiao, come out!"
"Yes!" Huang Yuejiao hurriedly promised to come forward.
"I ask you, is what Bian Yuzhen said true?"
Although Hyman told her the words to deal with early in the morning, Huang Yuejiao's heart was still pounding nervously. If there was a word of carelessness, the head on her neck would not be preserved.
After taking several deep breaths, she opened her mouth and said, "Go back to the Queen's words, Miss Xia and I have indeed discussed it... But that's just our guess..."
"What? Guess?" Empress Su stared at Huang Yuejiao suspiciously, "Then how do you guess that the scar on her face is the sequelae of leprosy?"
"This..." Huang Yuejiao glanced at Lin Ziqin quickly, "It's because we heard that someone in Miss Qin's family had died of leprosy, so..."
Queen Su twisted her eyebrows and looked at Lin Ziqin, "Has your family ever had leprosy?"
Lin Ziqin didn't expect that Huang Yuejiao would say such words. She was stunned. Hearing Empress Su's question, she quickly came to her senses, "Yes..." She couldn't say no. If she said no, it was equivalent to declaring that Huang Yuejiao had deceived the hall. It was a felony. She could not implicated Huang Yuejiao.
"Queen, this is really troublesome!" Wen Caiqing interrupted at the right time, "Caiqing heard that leprosy can be transmitted. Some people are sick, and everyone will get sick, even worse than the plague..."
Queen Su frowned a little tighter, and it was about the emperor, and she, the lord of the harem, did not dare to be careless at all. If the concubine selected by her has leprosy and infects it to the emperor, won't she become a sinner through the ages?
"Come on, go to the Pacific Hospital immediately and call Lu Tiancheng!" After a little thought, she made a decision.
"Yes!" An eunuch promised to leave quickly, and soon brought two imperial doctors. He was in his fifties and thin in front of him. It was Lu Tiancheng, who walked behind him in his early 30s, with a goatee and a lazy smile.
Wen Caiqing saw that the man's face changed, and his eyes sank and sank.
"I've met the Empress, Princess Li!" The two imperial doctors saw the salute together.
"Get up!" Empress Su raised her hand and looked at Lu Tiancheng and said, "Today, I chose a beautiful woman to enrich the harem for the emperor. I encountered a little problem. Dr. Lu, you are the oldest doctor qualified in the imperial hospital. I hope you can share your worries for my palace!"
"Yes, Empress." Lu Tiancheng hurriedly replied, "The old minister probably also heard the message, so the old minister brought a man!" He pointed to the people around him, "He has a lot of research on leprosy and has cured many leprosy patients. Whether he has leprosy or not, he knows at a glance..."
"Oh?" Empress Su looked at the man, "This imperial doctor is very good..." The imperial doctor of the imperial hospital will take turns to come to the harem for consultation. Even if he can't name it, he is familiar with him. What's more, she can't be impressed by such an capable person, "Is it new here?"
Lu Tiancheng hurriedly replied, "Yes, Queen..."
"In fact, Weichen is not a newcomer!" Before Lu Tiancheng finished speaking, the man interrupted with a smile, "Weichen had done it before, but the Empress had not yet entered the palace at that time. If it's this Lady Lifei... she should know who Weichen is..."
"Do you know Concubine Li?" Empress Su looked at Wen Caiqing suspiciously, "You entered the palace several years later than this palace. What's going on?"
This damn guy will make trouble for her as soon as he comes! Wen Caiqing cursed secretly, but said with a smile on her face, "The Empress misunderstood. Caiqing did see this imperial doctor, but not in the palace, but outside the palace. Before Cai Qing entered the palace, he was lucky enough to ask the doctor who was expelled from the palace to treat his illness..."
"Exvicted from the palace? What's going on?" The more Queen Su listened, the more confused she became.
Lu Tiancheng faintly smelled the smell of gunpowder and hurriedly replied, "Queen, he used to be an imperial doctor in the imperial hospital. Because there was a mistake in dispensing medicine, he left the palace and later found that it was just a misunderstanding.
He is superb in medicine, invincible, and has a deep study of some difficult and miscellaneous diseases. It's a pity for such a person to be buried in the people, so the old minister invited him back to the imperial hospital..."
"So that's it!" Empress Su suddenly nodded, "Well, what's your name?"
"Weichen Tang Nian!"
Lin Ziqin has never seen the face of the imperial doctor, but she is a little familiar with his voice, but she can't remember who it is for a moment. While suspecting, she heard that he called himself Tang Nian and suddenly remembered, the old medicine head, yes, this sound is the old medicine head!
How can it be such a coincidence? She didn't know whether to be surprised or happy for a moment!
"Then Dr. Tang, show her and see if she has leprosy!" Empress Su was eager to solve this matter and pointed to Lin Ziqin and ordered Tang Niandao.
