The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 277

A country cannot live without a king for a day!
The emperor has passed away, and an imperial edict has been issued to pass the throne to the crown prince, thus establishing his position as the new emperor.

The Empress and the Crown Prince's faction breathed a huge sigh of relief.

He immediately knelt down and begged the crown prince to ascend the throne.

The crown prince naturally had to decline the throne three times, and only after the funeral arrangements for the empress dowager and the late emperor were completed could he ascend the throne.

That's understandable.

However, the sudden fall of two great mountains was also a test for the crown prince.

"Brother Crown Prince, don't be afraid, Panpan will help you."

"it is good."

The Crown Prince stroked her head: "Panpan, as long as I live, I will protect you."

"Okay, Panpan will also protect her brother the Crown Prince."

Empress... Who said I... No, it's not that I didn't have two children. Panpan is just as good as my biological daughter!
The brother and sister protect each other, which is good.

Yes, the Empress's gratitude towards Panpan was beyond words.

If it weren't for her, who knows how many more troubles Prince Su's faction would have caused.

Just as they were arguing, Panpan resolved the major issue with a single sentence.

Of course, the crown prince is also very capable.

After so many years of forbearance, it's time for reckoning.

"Your Highness, the date for the Empress Dowager's funeral has been calculated."

The Imperial Observatory was truly miserable. They had to calculate the date of the Empress Dowager's funeral, the date of the late Emperor's funeral, and the auspicious time for the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne... not to mention the date of the Crown Prince's wedding. Well, it was truly a busy year!

"Okay, give the instructions, do it this way."

The Crown Prince nodded, leaving everything to the Ministry of Rites.

He knew very well that the thing a monarch had to do was to maintain stability, no matter what the situation!

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess fainted while mourning the dead."

A palace attendant came to report.

Crown Prince... what's wrong with her? She fainted while mourning?

true or false?

If she's just putting on an act, that's going too far. After all, she's going to be the First Lady in the future, and this kind of personality won't do!

"Please summon the imperial physician."

Why bother looking for him if you've fainted? He's not a royal physician; he can't solve the problem.

"Crown Prince is going to be a father!"

what?
Panpan's words shocked the Empress: "Panpan, are you telling the truth?"

"Really."

"Quickly, I'll go take a look."

The Empress wanted to say "I am an old woman," but she could not change her address until her son ascended the throne.

In the Eastern Palace, two imperial physicians took turns taking the pulse, but neither could diagnose the situation.

The final conclusion was that the Crown Princess was overwhelmed with grief.

"Wait a minute." The Empress frowned upon hearing this conclusion: "Imperial Physician Zhong, Imperial Physician Hu, please take my pulse again. I will be here watching."

The Empress, being from the inner palace, knew all too well how much filth and corruption was involved.

If it weren't for Panpan's reminder, this game would have already been won!

Physician Zhong and Physician Hu took the pulse again, and their conclusions remained unchanged.

"Someone, bring all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to me."

I refuse to believe it. In such a vast palace, all the imperial physicians are unusable.

To the Empress's surprise, just as she had expected, no one raised any other questions. The imperial physicians all agreed that the Crown Princess had fainted due to excessive grief.

"Someone, please invite Lady Hou."

The Empress laughed in anger. She believed Panpan's words without a doubt, so these imperial physicians were either bad or stupid. Looking around, there wasn't a single one of them who was useful!
Lady Hou was the Empress's mother.

"This humble woman greets Your Majesty."

"Madam Hou, I wonder which doctors in the capital are capable?"

"There are several highly skilled doctors in the capital, but I wonder which one Your Majesty wishes to see..."

"The Crown Princess has fainted. I must summon a doctor to examine her."

Lady Hou looked at the row of imperial physicians who were standing silently and suddenly realized something.

"Your Majesty, the doctors of Kangyangtang, Qianjintang, and Baicaotang are all highly regarded in the community."

"Someone, summon Doctor Yu from Kangyangtang, Doctor Qian from Qianjintang, and Doctor Guan from Baicaotang to the palace."

The imperial physicians felt a surge of disgust: Could it be that we, a group of imperial physicians, are not as good as a folk herbalist?
Or are these doctors plotting something with the Empress?

You look at me, I look at you, and then a few people with different thoughts widen their eyes: No way?
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask if I may take the Crown Princess's pulse again."

Physician Tang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I would also like to take the Crown Princess's pulse again."

Physician Zhou also realized something: good heavens, it's time to choose sides!

Make sure you don't stand in the wrong spot!
"Are you sure you want to take my pulse again?"

The Empress laughed in exasperation. These people are truly cunning!
Therefore, their strength lies not in their medical skills, but in their ability to understand people's hearts!
What kind of people have infiltrated the Imperial Medical Academy?

I really miss Physician Xiao... Yes, let's use this incident as an opportunity to pardon Physician Xiao and his family and allow them to return to the capital.

The empress made up her mind and sat there waiting for the three common doctors to enter the palace.

The three doctors met at the palace gate and were all puzzled.

Honestly, if they could, they would never want to step through that door. They knew perfectly well that serving a ruler was like serving a tiger.

Without exception, all three thought of the virtuous and skilled Physician Xiao.

Everyone says that colleagues are enemies, but not Physician Xiao.

As pharmacy owners, they inevitably encounter various problems, including those who deliberately cause trouble. Whenever they face difficulties, they turn to Physician Xiao, who will stand up for them and clear their names, much like a government office can restore their innocence.

If you encounter any difficult or complicated illnesses, you can consult Physician Xiao. He will always patiently guide you and never hold back his knowledge!

Therefore, they all received some of the true teachings of Physician Xiao.

What a kind old man he was!
In the end, however, he met such an end.

Over the years, they had all witnessed the Xiao family's troubles and were deeply concerned.

They wanted to help but dared not move an inch, mainly because they were not just one person, but a family, involving the life and death of hundreds of people.

They all felt guilty about it.

Since Xiao Chunyu married General Xia, the three of them felt relieved and thought that the Xiao family would soon see the light of day again.

Is this an opportunity?
The three of them tacitly agreed that they were all ready to go all out!

After all, the one who issued the decree is gone, and Miss Xiao's daughter has her current status—this is an opportunity!
"This humble subject greets Your Majesty the Empress."

This palace is no place for humans to enter; you have to kneel as soon as you see someone.

"Please rise, doctors."

Since it was the mother who specifically named him, it means he must at least be a trustworthy person.

"I have invited three doctors to the palace so that you may examine the Crown Princess and determine what symptoms she may be experiencing."

The three of them were stunned for a moment: What's going on? Are the group of imperial physicians standing next to them just sitting around doing nothing?

"All of you, go and take their pulses. After you've taken their pulses, write down your diagnoses. I'll open them and look at the results together later," the Empress said to the group of imperial physicians. "Is there anyone else willing to take their pulse again?"

This time, all the imperial physicians wanted to take his pulse.

The Empress sneered inwardly: A bunch of good-for-nothings!
