During this month, there were major changes in the palace.
Among the previous Emperor’s concubines, regardless of whether they had given birth to princesses or princes, they had left the palace together.
Those who were virgins, except for the two older ones, had all left the palace to get married.
Some of the women who had served the previous Emperor also remarried.
However, most chose to go to the Imperial Mausoleum to mourn for the previous Emperor, and two decided to go to the Mother God Temple to serve her.
On this day, after Gu Chengrui had taught all the selected doctors how to get the vaccine from cowpox, the Emperor also put plans for medical centers on the agenda.
Therefore, he directly summoned Gu Chengrui into the palace and asked, “Regarding the medical centers’ memorial, whether it’s their position, responsibility, or authority, you have to write it down clearly.”
“That’s why I called you over today, for you to manage these medical centers.
“At the same time, I will confer on you the title of Marquis An Le tomorrow. At the same time, I will appoint you as a second-grade official in charge of the medical yamen.
“Also, Zhou Ying will be conferred the title of a second-grade imperial consort.”
Gu Chengrui did not decline after hearing that. He was the one who had proposed the medical center, so only with him in charge could they strictly follow his request. However, he still asked worriedly, “So, the imperial physicians…”
“Imperial physicians are imperial physicians. Their duty is to treat the people of the royal family. They don’t have power in the government.
“Of course, if they want to enter a medical center, I will also approve it.”
“I understand.”
“Tell me how you plan to choose your candidates first. It’s not easy to handpick so many people.”
“Just like the imperial examination, passing the examination is divided into two parts: theory and on-the-spot diagnosis. However, after the theory examination, we have to investigate the person’s life and character.
“If their character is not good, they will not be recruited. Otherwise, it will ruin the big picture.”
The Emperor nodded in agreement. “Then it’s settled. I’ll get Xiao Heng to bring someone for you later. If there’s anything that you need, just mention it.”
“Yes.” Gu Chengrui had just finished speaking when Eunuch Qian rushed over. “Your Majesty, Lord Gu, Consort Xian is ready to give birth. The previous Empress Dowager and the Imperial Physician are already on their way.”
“Let’s go.” The Emperor suddenly stood up and strode out.
He had heard Imperial Physician Liu say that Consort Xian’s baby was a boy, which would be his eldest son. He was looking forward to it and could not allow anything to happen to the mother and son.
Gu Chengrui saw this and immediately got up to follow.
The previous Empress Dowager heaved a sigh of relief when she saw them. She stood up and said, “You’re finally here. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”.
“Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Grandmother. Please sit at the side and wait. I will guard her.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he helped her sit down.
The other people in the courtyard immediately bowed to the Emperor.
“Greetings, Grand Empress Dowager.” Gu Chengrui stepped forward and bowed after everyone got up.
“No need. Sit, sit. Let’s wait together. I hope the Mother Goddess can bless Wanning to give birth smoothly.”
“Don’t worry.” Gu Chengrui responded and sat down below the Emperor.
Hearing the heart-wrenching screams in the room, Gu Chengrui’s scalp went numb. He was worried about this, so when Chunxi came out, he asked her to pass on a message.
If Gu Wanning shouted too much now, she would lose her energy easily when giving birth later. He told her that she must try her best to endure it.
Finally, he instructed, “It’s best to find her something clean and let her bite on it.”
“Yes, yes, there is such a saying. Chun Xi, right? Hurry up and go in and tell your mistress.” The previous Empress Dowager nodded in agreement.
Chun Xi immediately turned around and ran back into the house..
