Chapter 316 Pulse Case Confusion (1/2)
“I don’t know whether Xiaoyu is having a good life or not, after returning to Lieyun. This little guy did not even send a letter back.”
In fact, Lin Mengya knew that Xiaoyu had just returned to Lie Yun for a short while.
His situation was unstable, so he did not write to her.
As always, this little guy did not like to worry her.
“Master, the young master will ask someone to send you a letter, but now is not the right time. The young master did so, only because he did not want you to worry.”
Of course, Baisu was aware of the feelings between her master and the young master. After the young master went back, he would have to experience a bloody fight.
But no matter what, Steward Lie and the others would protect the young master with their lives.
“Forget it, I am just too anxious. We are overwhelmed here. If Xiaoyu knows about our situation, he will also worry about us. Let’s go, the Court of Imperial Physicians must be looking forward to meet us.”
It was already the fifth day of the month, and the Court of Imperial Physicians would have started their work already.
Although the imperial physicians did not need to attend the imperial court meeting, they needed to go to work early because of the style of working of the Court of Imperial Physicians. In the morning, the Chief Director would issue instructions, and seminars to discuss the situations in the palace would also be held.
However, everyone just dropped everything, and looked toward the gate of the Court of Imperial Physicians, this morning.
Finally, a pair of small hands gently pushed open the door. Subsequently, two beautiful figures appeared in front of them.
“Good morning, Your Highness.”
At first, Su Tong knelt to Lin Mengya, and then all the other imperial physicians of the Court of Imperial Physicians followed. Instantly, she asked Baisu to help Chief Director Su to rise.
“We are all acquaintances. Please do not be so courteous. All of you, please get up.”
Although she was smiling in the early morning, everyone knew that there was an unshakable force hidden underneath the seemingly careless, beautiful face.
“The princess is approachable, but rules cannot be ignored. In the future, the whole Court of Imperial Physicians will still need to rely on Princess Yu.”
They must have been seriously terrified of Long Tianyu. In the Court of Imperial Physicians, the previous condescending attitude toward Lin Mengya was no longer apparent. Previously, they always treated her without any proper respect, but now even Imperial Physician Jiang had to grit his teeth and bear with the current situation.
Now Lin Mengya became more and more curious to find out what Long Tianyu had done, to get such a good effect.
“Chief Director Su, you are flattering me. Please.”
She did not want to stand in the yard and exchange such extremely courteous yet fake words with them anymore.
Lin Mengya was the first to return to her small house, and was somewhat surprised to find a brown wooden box placed on the table, where she usually dispensed medicines and wrote her prescriptions.
“This is—”
Lin Mengya pretending to be surprised, looked at Chief Director Su, but the old man only looked guilty, and cupping his fists, said,
“Princess Yu, this is the pulse case that I should have shown you last time. This is related to the health of the emperor, and no one except myself, has the right to take it out. So, your important matter was delayed. I am guilty. Please punish me.”
Whenever any terrible results came out, he quickly blamed others for the problem, but at last, he was willing to shoulder the responsibilities. This made Lin Mengya lose her reasons to reproach him.
“Master Su, don’t say that. It’s my fault because I was a little anxious. I’ll ask you for some advice, later.”
Naturally, Lin Mengya clearly knew what Su Tong meant. With merely a few words, the “old fox” managed to extricate himself from any trouble, totally. Immediately, Su Tong extended his great gratitude and then left to continue his work. Lin Mengya did not look at the people present. Instead, she opened the exquisite box and took out the folder from the pulse case.
Every detail of the emperor’s pulse case was recorded meticulously. Of course, there were also notes and some other confusing records about the emperor’s pulse, made by the physicians.
She looked at them carefully and frowned slightly.
The emperor seemed to have a chronic disease, which made him much weaker than before, as he aged, but she found some clues from two sections.
One was the so-called chronic disease. It was said that he had been wounded by an arrow when he was young and nearly died, when he was not treated in time.
The wound was in his chest and had damaged his heart and lung, and so this old injury was still present today.
The other was that the emperor was very sick now, per the case that was on record. According to the pulse case, the emperor had a hangover in his sleeping palace a year ago, but the eunuchs and palace maids taking care of him did not notice it, and so the emperor caught a cold, which caused pneumonia and then led to the recurrence of his old disease.
Lin Mengya put away the folder of the pulse case, but was immersed in her thoughts.
She heard Long Tianyu mentioning that he and his brothers had been strictly managed and trained by the emperor since their childhood; so they had superb martial arts and were quite knowledgeable, and the emperor also founded the kingdom by using his skills. A person who had been practicing martial arts should be much stronger than ordinary people.
Besides, the emperor was only a youth of 18 to 19 when he was wounded. At that time, he was quite energetic and should have had a strong resilience and ability to recover quickly,
How could he have had such a serious sequela after a mere arrow wound?
It was easy to catch a cold after being drunk, but the emperor had kept exercising, even in his middle age.
She remembered that the old supervisor of the dormitory of the medical school liked to sneak into the flower garden to sleep on the stone bench, each time after he drank.
