"Where is King Yu now?" Gu Jinzhi asked Qin Shenshi, who was running with a big sweat.
"In... In Tai Hospital." Qin Sheng said.
"So many imperial physicians, and you don't believe any of them?" Gu Jinzhi asked again.
Qin Sheng nodded four times in a row.
"What can I do about it?" Gu Jin said, "I don't take the salary of Tai Hospital, what does it have to do with me?"
Qin Sheng was shocked.
In his impression, Gu Jinzhi was a kind-hearted and gentle girl who would not ignore someone in distress.
How can you say such things now?
Last time at the palace gate, Qin Shen Si noticed that Gu Jin He and Chen Yu Chao didn't get along.
Still remember the grudge on the boat that day?
"Seventh Young Lady, are you still holding a grudge against that day on the boat when the prince offended you?" Qin Shenji hastily blurted out, "You are a magnanimous person, please let it go for now and settle the score later. Go take a look, all the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital say that the prince's injury is very critical."
Qin Sheng believed in Gu Jinzhi's medical skills.
Chen Yu's body had multiple knife wounds, and after taking medicine, he continued to have a high fever that wouldn't subside.
The hospital was crowded with people who had all been summoned by Fa Zi.
Chen Yu's condition was particularly uncooperative. He didn't want to drink the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and only kept asking for Gu Jinzhi to come see him.
"Qin Taizhong, you and my father are also close friends, so I won't hide it from you. The identity of the Crown Prince is special, and I don't want to get entangled with him." Gu Jinzhi said, "Moreover, among many doctors in the Imperial Hospital, he specifically asked for me alone, isn't that suspicious?"
Qin Sheng couldn't say anything.
"You tell Rong Wangye that he was once a patient, I naturally took good care of him and had no personal feelings involved. Nor did I have the intention to get close to him, nor did I ever consider him as a friend." Gu Jin said, "As for his affairs, I am powerless. Wishing him an early recovery."
Qin Shen let out a sigh.
He returned to Tai Hospital.
Chen Yu slept through the day and night, his face bright red, with a high fever that wouldn't subside.
While he was unconscious, Dr. Peng and Dr. Zeng gave him a bowl of medicinal soup to drink, hoping it would bring down his fever.
"It's gotten this severe, taking two Purple Snow Pills won't be enough. Give him another one to drink." Doctor Peng sighed, "What's left can only be left to fate."
Palace cold and feverish, originally used Zixue Dan to reduce fever.
Zeng Taishi nodded in agreement.
The two of them again gave Chen You a few grains of Zi Xue Dan while he was sleeping.
It was at this time that Qin Sheng returned for the fourth time.
He followed Chen Yuanchao, the emperor specifically instructed Peng Taizhong and Zeng Taizhong to take care of Chen Yuanchao, and ordered Qin Shenshi to serve on the side.
This time back, Big Brother Qin Wei had a big change in attitude towards Qin Sheng, and the imperial physicians who were used to following the wind immediately became enthusiastic about Qin Sheng.
When they saw him coming in, Dr. Peng and Dr. Zeng hurriedly greeted him.
"Is the king still not awake?" Qin Shen asked.
The two imperial physicians shook their heads.
Not only did I not wake up, but it's getting even hotter.
Chen Yu suddenly started talking nonsense.
What he said was incomprehensible to Qin Shen and others, roughly in the local language of Annan country.
Three people looked at each other in dismay.
Qin Sheng told them to take good care of Wang Ye and then went to invite Jiang Tong again.
Jiang Tong accompanied me for a whole day yesterday and has returned home now.
——*——*——
After the emperor finished his morning court session, he went to pay respects to the empress dowager.
Inquired about his well-being and then went to the imperial study.
The King of Wei was assassinated, and it was openly done at the feet of the Son of Heaven to kill and silence him. This is a very heinous thing.
The five senior officials staying in the imperial study continued their heated debate.
Wei Ge Lao thought it was Chen Yu's chess move, so he deliberately hurt himself and framed the messenger team, making his lie more convincing.
The other three cabinet members thought that Jiang Tong would not collude with the rebels to deceive the emperor. Because there was a princess as a guarantor, and also Jiang Tong's personal testimony and material evidence. They were very trusting of Chen Youchao.
This assassination must be the doing of the new ruler Hu and his son, who are guilty and fearful.
"...I was originally suspicious of Chen Yu Chao. However, this matter should be the doing of the Hu clan's delegation. I saw the young master of the Hu clan in the great hall, he looked at Chen Yu Chao with some fear and dodged his eyes; while Chen Yu Chao and Jiang Tong, their expressions were not unusual."
"Now it's another assassination, what Chen Yu said about the prime minister usurping the throne must be true." The emperor finally said, "There is no need to discuss this matter further. When Chen Yu wakes up, arrange for an envoy to be sent to Annan State, capture the Hu family and send them to the capital to assist Chen Yu in ascending to the throne."
Wei Ge Lao was slightly unwilling to give up.
The other four old men all said: Your Majesty is wise.
So, the original plan to send Guo Yan as an envoy was not changed.
This time, he wasn't going to investigate, but to take people away.
Gu Yanwu was overjoyed in his heart and hastily knelt down saying: "Your subject will absolutely not disobey your orders."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction.
He asked Xia Shoufu again: "How is Chen Yu's injury? How many more days will it take to recover and set off?"
Xia Shoufu was also unclear and said: "Call Qin Tiandian to ask him, he is clearer than the old minister."
The emperor had the eunuch go to the Taiyi Hospital and bring Qin Wei back to the imperial study.
Qin's eyebrows slightly furrowed, saying: "The fever is getting worse and worse. The king's body is full of knife wounds, with three knives showing white bones... I have already discussed with the other imperial physicians how to use medicine more appropriately. Several methods were tried, but the effect was small, now the fever is getting worse and worse, and some consciousness has become confused."
Several old men's faces changed slightly.
If Chen You were to die in the capital, the Hu family father and son would usurp power and there would be no one to accuse them, making it troublesome to deal with.
This world, what cannot be tolerated most is a subject usurping the throne, no matter which country.
Otherwise, how can the emperor of the Celestial Empire rest assured?
"Gu Gonglao, you go and take a look yourself." The Emperor said, then turned his head to Qin Wei and said, "Chen Yu cannot die. If anything happens, the responsibility will be on your shoulders as the one who recommended him. When I arrive, I will only speak with you."
Qin Wei hurriedly knelt down and said yes.
Gu Yanwu and Qin Wei followed him out of the imperial study and went straight to the Imperial Hospital.
Chen Yu's condition has deteriorated, he is now speaking nonsense, his mind is confused, and his whole body is burning red.
What he said, everyone couldn't understand, and they all asked Jiang Tong who was standing beside him.
Giang Th?ng was one of the courtiers sent to Annan by the imperial court, he was proficient in the official language of both countries. Most of the official language of Tr?n Du?'s court was also taught by Giang Th?ng.
Jiang Tong coughed awkwardly and said: "Your Highness... Your Highness is thinking of your parents and elder brother..."
Muttering about parents while in a coma, what's so embarrassing?
This is filial piety.
The customs of Annan are really strange, and many imperial physicians think so.
"Hurry up and reduce the fever." Gu Yan Tao stepped forward and touched Chen Yu Chao's forehead, startling him.
Scalding is terrifying.
In the morning, he didn't have it yet.
Half a day's effort, the condition suddenly took a turn for the worse.
"If it could reduce fever, we would have used it long ago." Qin Wei Si said from the side, "We've also tried every possible method."
His tone was somewhat cold.
Chen You didn't allow them to treat him before, refused to take their medicine, and delayed his illness. Who can he blame now? He only has Gu Jinzhong to turn to for treatment.
As expected, Miss Gu was not invited, and it was still these imperial physicians who treated him.
Qin Wei was unhappy in her heart.
However, the emperor has spoken. He must be kept alive, and he doesn't dare take drastic measures either.
The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes.
Qin Wei Si knew a folk prescription. For this high fever with unclear consciousness, it is most effective.
But he didn't want to take it out easily.
Especially recently, he has been very depressed.
The Empress Dowager no longer looks for them at the Taiyi Hospital, and only believes in Miss Gu's seventh daughter. Miss Gu's seventh daughter is lucky and has found another way to cure the Empress Dowager, which is indeed her skill.
The Empress Dowager, however, elevated her above all the imperial physicians. This denial of the skills of the other doctors was unacceptable to Qin Wei Si.
It is said that Gu Jinzhi had entered the palace a few days ago, and Empress Tan even asked her to take a look.
Tang Guifei used to invite Qin Wei alone in the past.
Nowadays, Gu Jin let Qin Wei and other imperial physicians be unable to hold their heads up in the harem.
This Prince Yu insisted on letting Miss Gu, the seventh young lady of the Gu family, take charge.
He also only believed Miss Gu Jia Qi.
Qin Wei certainly didn't know. He didn't even know how Gu Jing used a single flavor of boiling water to cure Chen Yu's dumbness, let alone that Gu Jing's casual push and rub made Chen Yu's seasickness disappear instantly.
In Chen Yu's heart, Gu Jin was a god who could cure any illness.
He really only believed in Gu Jinzhi.
These, Qin Wei didn't know. He only thought that Gu Jin's reputation was spreading in the palace, and Chen Yu had also heard about it, so he believed her.
If this isn't suppressed, how can the palace allow Qin Wei to continue behaving like this in the future?
He had used every means to wait for Gu Shifei's retirement and finally sat in the position of Taipu Hospital. In these six years, he has gradually replaced Gu Shifei's position in the emperor's and empress dowager's hearts with his efforts, becoming the person the empress dowager originally trusted most.
The illness of Empress Ke turned out to be a false alarm.
"King Yu wakes up and keeps muttering about Miss Gu's seventh daughter..." Qin Wei said to Gu Yan Tao.
Jiang Tong's face changed beside him...
"...It seems that the king only believes Miss Gu Qi." Qin Wei Si didn't notice Jiang Tong, and continued to say to Gu Yan Tao, "How can we proceed? Moreover, we have also used up all our methods. Why not invite Miss Qi here to take a look at King Yu?"
Qin Wei Si is forty-six years old this year.
In the capital city, he had almost visited every noble and wealthy family's home.
The cases he had seen were far beyond what Gu Jin, who was still reading medical books, could compare to.
He didn't believe that Gu Jin could have a way to bring down Chen Ye's critical high fever.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the imperial physicians looked at each other in dismay: Prince Yu was in such a precarious state, and the Emperor had said that he must be saved, yet Qin Tiandi was not focusing on saving him properly, but instead came up with this absurd idea.
Miss Gu's treatment of the Empress Dowager was a mystery, and none of the imperial physicians knew how she did it.
She was just a little girl, what method could she use to cure such a high fever?
Qin Sheng said with a smile: "I went there this morning, but Miss Gu was not very willing to come."
Afraid to come? Qin Wei Si sneered in her heart.
He looked at Guo Yanwang again.
Gu Yan Tao looked at Qin Wei Si's eyes and knew he was very confident that he could cure Chen Yu Chao's high fever, but he had to use Jiao, comparing with his own.
He chose Gu Jinzhi.
The emperor's intention is to cure Chen Yuanchao.
How to cure well, Gu Yanwu doesn't care about it anymore.
He doesn't care who loses face or gains pleasure, he just enforces the emperor's orders.
Is Gu Jizhi's lack of skill also Gu Quan's fault?
"I'll send someone to invite him." Gu Yanwu quickly walked out.
The young servant soon arrived at the Gu residence.
Gu Jinzhi heard that Chen You's high fever had not subsided, and the many imperial physicians were at a loss for what to do, and could not help but be shocked.
In treating acute and severe illnesses, traditional Chinese medicine is indeed far less effective than Western medicine in terms of speed and efficacy, but it's not entirely hopeless either.
It was her great uncle's family who invited her again.
She thought for a moment and still refused.
As a result, Guo Yanwang personally came to invite him.

Thank you for your reward.
Three o'clock asking for pink votes.
To be honest, I've been feeling unwell for the past two days, my fingers ache... probably because I haven't typed this much in a long time and suddenly increased my workload. The new book is updated twice a day, actually it's 2,000 words per update, which means 4,000 words per day. Now it's 9,000 words per day, doubled all of a sudden, my fingers can't take it, they're stiff and sore. After I finish writing every day, I immediately start researching new plotlines. I haven't left my computer for most of the time, feeling like my life is being taken over by this thing, also a bit uncomfortable...
Just venting out some frustrations O(n_n)O~ I'll still continue to work hard.
