C17 (1/2)
The empress dowager was already being supported onto a cushion as the imperial physician approached with a medicine box.
The empress dowager was already close to sixty years old. In this era, sixty years was already a long life. If there were no problems with her body, then that would be abnormal.
When the imperial physician saw that the empress dowager was lying on a soft patch with her eyes rolled up, he rushed forward to pinch her.
However, it was better if she didn't pinch him. The moment she pinch him, the empress dowager's entire body began to twitch, as if she'd gone insane and scared him.
”What's going on?” Baili Yao was very worried.
The imperial physician was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
The empress dowager had a bit of a high status, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem recuperating. Just what was going on? Even the imperial physician was stupefied.
All of a sudden, the imperial physicians of the imperial hospitals were at a loss for what to do. They couldn't find the cause of the trouble, so how could they dare to make wild guesses?
”This humble subject, this humble subject also does not know …” The empress dowager's symptoms looked frightening, but her pulse pattern was normal. This was also the thing that caused the imperial physicians to be the most indecisive. If they couldn't hear her pulse, how could they dare to randomly use medicine?
The imperial physician wasn't able to make a decision, and the empress dowager's symptoms didn't seem to ease either. Everyone fell silent, trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.
”Zhen usually raised you trash. If anything happens to the empress dowager, your crimes are unforgivable!”
”Your majesty, please forgive me. Your majesty, please forgive me …”
Baili Xing turned around and glanced at Bai Zhiling who was sitting motionlessly in the middle of the room. He frowned and knelt in front of Baili Yao.
”Royal Father, this son has something to report.”
”Speak.”
Bai Zhiling, who was picking up the teacup, felt her heart jump. She subconsciously looked at Baili Xing.
”Royal Father, when Zhiling was young, she was taught by a master and learned a lot of medical skills. I humbly request that Royal Father allow Zhiling to treat Royal Grandmother's illness.”
Everyone present was shocked by Baili Xing's words.
Bai Zhiling was so angry that she almost broke the porcelain cup in her hands.
Damn Baili Xing, so you were waiting for her here!
”What did you say?” Baili Yao came back to his senses and his expression became even more unsightly.
”Royal Father, I can prove that Zhiling's medical skills are outstanding. Please agree, Royal Father. Royal Grandmother's situation is critical …”
The empress dowager was already foaming at the mouth while the imperial physician was helpless against her. Baili Xing had almost blurted out the words' a dead horse is a dead horse! '
Seeing this, Bai Tinglan also hurriedly stood out.
”Royal Father, elder sister's medical skills are indeed outstanding. I hope that Royal Father can give elder sister a chance to save Royal Grandmother.” If they couldn't treat her, Bai Zhiling would be in for a ride of misfortune!
Baili Yao looked at the empress dowager, who was already short of breath, and frowned.
”Alright, let her try. If she fails …”
”Reporting to Royal Father, even the imperial physicians of this hospital weren't able to treat me. With this son's clumsy medical skills, I really didn't dare to use them to delay my royal grandmother's illness.” Before Baili Yao could finish his words, Bai Zhiling had already stood in the main hall.
Baili Xing wanted to use her to rope in the Empress Dowager and show his face in front of Baili Yao, but that would depend on whether she was willing or not!
Baili Xing was a little angry at Bai Zhiling for not cooperating, but he had to say, ”Zhiling, Grandma needs you now. If you can cure her, Granny will definitely remember you.”
It was a good thing if she had the empress dowager to support Princess Yun, who had no reputation and was not favored by others … It was enough for the empress dowager to owe her a favor.
”The imperial physicians are proficient in medicine, but this son of mine has only scratched the surface. If I can't …” If he couldn't cure her, he couldn't ask about her crimes!
He actually still dared to threaten him!
Baili Yao clenched his fists tightly. If it wasn't for these useless imperial physicians, would he have let Bai Zhiling treat the empress dowager!?
”Zhiling, you can go and treat my Royal Grandmother. Royal Father will not blame you for your filial piety.”
