Chapter 93 Questioning
Chapter 93 Questions
As a mother, I just can't bear to watch my son suffer endless pain and do nothing.
It has to be said that Empress Ma's prestige and language skills immediately dispelled the insulted feelings of the imperial doctors because of Ye Xuan, a Jinyiwei.
But the imperial doctors could not sit idly by and let Ye Xuan, a warrior, treat Kunimoto.
As imperial doctors, they had the most say in Zhu Biao's condition.
The white-haired imperial physician still said stubbornly: "Your Highness's illness should not be underestimated. Please forgive me for being so bold. The fact that your Highness's illness has developed to this point is actually related to the abuse of the so-called folk ancestral prescriptions."
At this point, the white-haired imperial physician suddenly glanced at Ye Xuan, and then continued: "The secret medicines taken by those greedy people who lied and boasted, except for some that were of little effect, most of them were randomly mixed according to prescriptions obtained from who knows where, which not only did not help the condition, but also aggravated the prince's condition."
"Those people are relying on the Queen's kindness. They will not be held accountable even if they cannot cure the prince. That's why they dare to use the prince to randomly test the medicine."
"Anyway, if I succeed, it will be a huge achievement, and if I fail, I won't be blamed, so why not do it!"
Having said this, the other imperial doctors resonated with him and they all spoke out to stop him.
"Doctor Xu is right. Those people tried the medicine and caused His Highness's condition to worsen, but they want us to clean up the mess."
"Empress, Crown Princess, if this continues, I will be exhausted!"
These words, implicitly and implicitly, compared Ye Xuan to those shameless people who were greedy for merit, but Ye Xuan didn't mind.
Because he knew that the imperial doctors were right. According to later investigations, many so-called ancient prescriptions were actually just a bunch of random things put together.
Fortunately, there are some effects that can be achieved by accident.
Unfortunately, as the imperial doctors said, the condition worsened and even endangered his life.
For example, Qin Shihuang's elixir of life was actually made from highly toxic heavy metals such as lead and mercury.
If you eat too much of this, how can you lose your life?
However, Ye Xuan himself knew his own business. The therapeutic effect of allicin had been rigorously scientifically demonstrated and applied on a large scale by later generations.
But understanding is understanding, but it doesn’t mean that Ye Xuan will just swallow his anger.
He smiled and bowed, then said to the white-haired imperial physician, "Is this Imperial Doctor Xu? I am Ye Xuan, a captain of the Imperial Guard."
Facing Ye Xuan's considerate manners, Imperial Physician Xu remained unsmiling, and even waved his sleeves and snorted coldly, "I know, I can tell by looking at your clothes!"
"Since you are a member of the Imperial Guard, you should know that deceiving the emperor is punishable by execution of the entire family, right?"
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed out of anger. Threatening him, a professional in property confiscation, with the execution of his entire family?
There's nothing wrong with this old man, right?
He immediately gave up the idea of trying to persuade him and responded with the same tone: "I have also executed many people with the same official position as Doctor Xu, so I naturally know this."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu and the other doctors all looked at Ye Xuan with angry expressions.
Ye Xuan compared the officials whose property was confiscated to Doctor Xu and others. In addition to being full of malice, there was also a bit of bad luck in his expression.
After all, no one wants to compare themselves with an official who has been beheaded.
Doesn't that mean that I am also the one who will lose my head?
After a brief verbal retort, Ye Xuan no longer paid attention to Doctor Xu and the others, but strode towards Zhu Biao.
However, the angry Imperial Physician Xu walked up to Ye Xuan with a brisk pace that was inconsistent with his age. While stopping Ye Xuan, he tried his best to persuade Empress Ma and the Crown Princess:
"My two noble ladies, do you really want to gamble the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the truth of what this Jinyiwei said?" Upon hearing this, Empress Ma and the Crown Princess immediately hesitated.
The Crown Princess looked at Queen Ma and asked tentatively, "Mother..."
Seeing that Empress Ma was wavering, Ye Xuan sneered and said to the Imperial Physician Xu sarcastically, "Imperial Physician Xu, are you afraid that if a Jinyiwei like me cures the prince, it will bring shame to the entire Imperial Hospital, so you keep trying to stop me!"
Upon hearing this, all the imperial doctors immediately gathered around, ready to splatter blood on the Eastern Palace in front of Empress Ma and the Crown Princess if they had a disagreement.
Ye Xuan was not afraid at all. When it came to fighting, how could he, a Jinyiwei, be afraid of a group of old guys?
But this scene angered Queen Ma, "Scatter, what do you want to do?"
"Empress..." Doctor Xu hesitated to speak.
Ye Xuan shook his head, he had never expected this farce. He had only taken on this job out of gratitude for the deep mother-son love between Empress Ma and her, but he had not expected it to be such a thankless task.
However, things happened and it has come to this point.
If Ye Xuan gave in and left voluntarily, and the news got out, wouldn't people think that Ye Xuan was the greedy and liar that Doctor Xu mentioned?
Dust returns to dust, salted fish returns to salted fish, but Ye Xuan still has to save his face.
So he sneered and said, "I, Ye Xuan, dare to guarantee it with my head. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't get better after using my medicine, I, Ye Xuan, don't need His Majesty's decree, I will come to apologize with my head on my head!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
I have seen people who are ambitious and fond of showing off, but I have never seen anyone who uses his life to cheat for credit.
"Does this kid really have some skills?" Doctor Xu couldn't help but feel shaken.
Empress Ma's eyes flashed with determination, and she immediately made the decision: "No need to say more, Ye Xuan was someone I found, if... if there is any accident, I will bear the responsibility as well!"
"The Queen..."
Ye Xuan didn't expect that Queen Ma would still ask him to consider it at this time, and even thought about helping to shirk Ye Xuan's words if Ye Xuan's medicine didn't work.
But what was even more surprising was that in the face of Empress Ma's kindness, Ye Xuan refused decisively and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"
"If anything unexpected happens, the Queen and I will have nothing to do with it!"
Immediately, an imperial physician could not help but ask, "Are you serious?"
"Of course I take it seriously," Ye Xuan snorted coldly, and then said, "But what if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's condition improves, or even completely recovers? What will you do?"
"This……"
Everyone was suddenly speechless. Although they didn't believe that Ye Xuan had this ability, no one could tell what was going on in the world as things are unpredictable.
What if Ye Xuan guessed right?
However, Doctor Xu was as determined as a turtle eating a weight on a scale, and said firmly: "If your ancestral secret medicine is really good for the prince, we will kneel down and call you Master!"
"Okay, a gentleman's word?"
"It's impossible to catch up with him!" Doctor Xu said without hesitation.
Ye Xuan immediately turned around and said solemnly: "Please allow me to use the medicine, Queen!"
"Mother..."
The Crown Princess was still a little hesitant, but was stopped by a look from Empress Ma.
