Chapter 529: Guarantee Her
"I promise to let all the civil and military officials know how difficult it is for the Queen Mother, and make them convinced."
Nanny An looked at Ji Yuntang and smiled with satisfaction, "Talking to smart people saves effort."
"Doctor Yun is not only a skilled doctor, but also very sweet-talker. I believe that after you do this well, you will soon become the confidant of the Queen Mother. Then we can serve the Queen Mother together!"
Ji Yuntang smiled and said to Nanny An: "That's right. Being able to serve the Empress Dowager is a blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes."
But I was complaining in my heart: Is she worthy of being asked to serve an old witch?
It's good that she didn't kill the old witch. She even wanted her to serve her like a slave. They are really calculating.
Soon, Ji Yuntang and Nanny An arrived in front of the palace. From a distance, they saw a group of ministers surrounding Empress Dowager Yuan.
The Empress Dowager Yuan was sitting in a chair with her head drooping, unconscious.
Nanny An walked over and said immediately: "Please make way for a moment, everyone. I have already invited the doctor to come and ask her to take a look at the Empress Dowager first."
Everyone made way when they heard this. When some ministers saw that Ji Yuntang was so young, they showed disdain on their faces.
"Madam An, the Queen Mother is a noble lady, why did you ask the Imperial Doctor Wei to treat her instead of asking such a young girl to come over?"
"If she causes any harm to the Empress Dowager, will you be able to take the responsibility?"
A minister nearby echoed, "That's right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just gotten into trouble. If something happens to the Queen Mother again, what will happen to our Western Shu Kingdom?"
"Madame An, you'd better send this little girl away quickly. Invite Imperial Doctor Wei to come and treat the Empress Dowager."
"..."
The ministers mocked Ji Yuntang one after another. Shen Xiangming, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and sneered: "You all are already over fifty years old, but I didn't expect you to still be so short-sighted."
"You keep saying that Doctor Yun is too young and you don't want her to treat the Empress Dowager, but who says that young people can't treat people? Are young people's medical skills inferior to those old doctors?"
"Doctor Wei is old, but he has been treating the Empress Dowager for such a long time in the palace, and he has never cured the Empress Dowager's headache."
"If you really care about the Empress Dowager's health, then stop making sarcastic remarks here and quickly move aside to let Doctor Yun treat the Empress Dowager. Can you take responsibility for delaying her treatment?"
As soon as these words came out, almost all the ministers looked at Shen Xiangming in surprise.
Because in their impression, Shen Xiangming has never been a talkative person.
On the contrary, he was aloof, had a bad temper, and was very unsociable. Not only was he used to being alone in the court, he would never stand up for anyone.
But just now, he actually stood up and scolded so many powerful ministers for a little girl.
This made some ministers feel very embarrassed.
A minister in his sixties stood up and accused him: "General Shen, I don't like what you say!"
"We are doing this for the sake of the Empress Dowager's health. This little girl looks so unfamiliar. None of us have ever seen her before. Who knows if she is a spy who sneaked into the palace from outside?"
"How can we be so careless in treating the Empress Dowager?"
Shen Xiangming's face instantly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Zhang, Doctor Yun is not a spy. She is a distinguished guest invited by our General's Mansion."
"A few days ago, my daughter accidentally fell into the water. I asked the imperial physician in the palace and doctors outside to treat her, but they were unable to cure her. Fortunately, Doctor Yun came to her rescue in time, and my daughter was able to escape danger and wake up in time."
"Her medical skills are guaranteed by my life. If Doctor Yun cannot cure the Empress Dowager's illness, I am willing to die as a token of my guilt."
Ministers: "..."
Ministers: "!!!"
No one seemed to have expected that Shen Xiangming would go to this extent for Ji Yuntang.
Even Ji Yuntang himself was shocked.
Shen Xiangming and her only met because of Hua Feixue. Even when he treated Shen Shiran, he received a thank-you gift of ten thousand taels of gold.
But just now, she clearly felt that the other party was not joking.
Ji Yuntang felt mixed emotions. Although she was absolutely confident in her medical skills, she couldn't resist the idea of someone who was not related to her in any way betting his life on her.
This feeling is too heavy!
Just when Ji Yuntang was about to say something, Nanny An stood up.
"That's enough, everyone, please stop arguing. Doctor Yun was invited by me at the order of the Empress Dowager. She is now the personal physician of the Empress Dowager."
"Her medical skills are recognized by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's headache has been alleviated under her treatment. Now, everyone should be relieved, right?"
The ministers looked somewhat embarrassed and turned to look at Ji Yuntang, apologizing to her.
"Doctor Yun, I am so sorry. I was blind and didn't know your identity. I hope you will not bear grudges and don't mind."
Another white-haired minister said: "Doctor Yun is so young and yet he has won the appreciation of the Empress Dowager. It's really amazing how young people can be formidable. He is so many times stronger than us old bones. Doctor Yun, please don't take our words to heart!"
He laughed out loud, and Ji Yuntang also laughed, "My dear adults, you are really good at joking. You are the elders, and I am the junior. How could I be angry with you?"
"If you have no complaints about me, please make way. I want to check the Queen Mother's pulse."
The arrogance on everyone's faces disappeared, and they made way in great embarrassment.
Only then did Ji Yuntang step forward to feel Empress Dowager Yuan's pulse.
While taking the pulse, she caught a glimpse of a red mark on the other person's neck out of the corner of her eye.
Although it was covered a lot by the collar of the inner garment, a small area was still exposed. Ji Yuntang immediately had an idea.
Then he took the patient's pulse and said, "Your Majesty's body is weak in kidney yang, and your pulse is thin and rapid. This is a symptom of excessive yang and insufficient yin. You just need to replenish yang and warm the kidney."
"In addition, her tongue was covered with white fur and her breathing was rapid. This must be due to her overwork last night, which caused her to be physically exhausted. In addition, her emotions fluctuated, so she fainted."
"It's okay. I'll give the Queen Mother a few injections in her chest and she'll wake up!"
