Chapter 1167: Chapter 1163: Guard Against the Empress Skilled in Medicine
Wang Ao looked at Su Yingxue’s attire and deduced that she must be one of Chu Yihan’s maids from the palace. He hurriedly replied respectfully, “Yes, my sister has been frail since childhood and cannot appear before His Majesty. Please… may the emperor not punish her!”
He seemed to be a brother very concerned about his sister.
Chu Yihan waved his hand dismissively, “Wang Jingzhi, take the Doctor to see her.”
Wang Jingzhi immediately responded, “Yes, I will take the Doctor to see Wang Yun right away.”
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Ao, “Wang Ao, quickly arrange for someone to lead myself and the Doctor to see your sister.”
Wang Ao shivered; he hadn’t expected that Chu Yihan would come so fully prepared with a Doctor. He anxiously stammered, “My sister’s boudoir… it might not be suitable for a Lord to enter! After all, my sister is still young and not yet betrothed!”
He struggled to come up with that excuse!
Wang Jingzhi appeared hesitant, “That is indeed…”
A woman’s reputation, face, and seclusion are all extremely important, especially for someone like Wang Yun who was still unbetrothed.
After deliberating, he asked Chu Yihan, “Emperor, it is indeed inconvenient for me to go with the Doctor. Perhaps it would be better to ask the maid to go instead!”
Su Yingxue’s eyes glinted with excitement, “Alright! I will go!”
She replied even before Chu Yihan could, and seeing Chu Yihan glance over at her, and everyone in the hall watching her, she quickly coughed twice and stepped back behind Chu Yihan, “That… please give your command, Your Majesty.”
In front of everyone, Chu Yihan merely stated indifferently, “Go ahead.”
As Su Yingxue walked past him, she playfully winked at him, and Chu Yihan’s lips slightly curled up.
Seeing Su Yingxue and the Doctor leaving, Wang Ao turned around and instructed the servants to go out, adding to take their time leading the way and to find his mother to intercept them at the entrance, so that they don’t enter Wang Yun’s boudoir.
Xiao Hui had suggested to him that as long as the empress was not there, they need not fear this tactic failing.
After all, by the emperor’s side, the empress was the genius doctor, but a palace maid hardly counted as a significant figure.
No need to worry about being exposed!Upd@te by novg0 .co
Su Yingxue pretending to be a maid, did quite a convincing job, displaying a considerable maturity and gravity.
When she arrived at Wang Yun’s courtyard with the old Doctor, a middle-aged beautiful woman, who seemed to have been prepared, was already waiting there.
Mrs. Meng first crouched slightly in greeting, “I hear a maid has come from the palace, the wife of a commoner pays her respects, has seen the maid.”
Su Yingxue smiled faintly, “Madam, you are too polite. I am here on the emperor’s orders to bring the Doctor to examine Miss Wang, and then to report back to the emperor.”
“The emperor’s concern is a blessing our daughter has cultivated over several lifetimes. We should rightfully kneel in gratitude for this heavenly grace, but…” As Mrs. Meng spoke, she began to cry, supported by her maid, “My Yun’er, after all, is a girl and not yet betrothed. She fell ill suddenly, and if the Doctor now examines her, given the separation required between men and women, what if something inappropriate is perceived? How could she marry in the future? Please forgive this commoner’s wife for not daring to let the Doctor in to examine Yun’er.”
Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, as if anticipating this, “Is it because the Doctor is a male that he cannot examine a female patient? Madam, by your logic, if there are no female doctors in a clinic, then they cannot treat female patients?”
“This… in a clinic under everyone’s watch, it naturally does not matter. But what this male Doctor is about to step into is Yun’er’s boudoir! How private a place is a boudoir! If my Yun’er’s reputation is ruined because of this, how could she face anyone in the future? If she cannot be married, as her mother, I truly find it heartbreaking!”
