“Excuse me, may I ask if Mrs. Xie, Zhao Chuchu, lives here?” The eunuch was rather polite, but he failed to hide the anxiousness in his eyes.
“Yes, I am Zhao Chuchu. What’s the matter?” Zhao Chuchu stood up and walked up to the eunuch. Did something terrible happen to Xie Yan?
The eunuch immediately went forward and said, “Yes, Mrs. Xie, please, may I trouble you to come with me to the Third Prince’s place and save him?” “What happened to the Third Prince?” Zhao Chuchu pretended not to know what happened and asked.
“Please don’t ask so many questions, Mrs. Xie. The most important thing right now is to save him. So please come with me at one. If we take too long and His Majesty gets angry, both of us will be in deep trouble.”
“Alright, give me a moment. Let me get my medical box.”
Zhao Chuchu immediately turned around and went back to her room. She took out all her medications for external injuries and put them in her medical box before heading back out.
“Mrs. Xie, do you know how to ride a horse?”
“Yes.”
“You, get down. Let Mrs. Xie ride the horse,” said the eunuch, pointing at one of the guards.
The guard quickly got off his horse.
After Zhao Chuchu got on the horse, the eunuch kept hurrying Zhao Chuchu and asking her to ride faster.
Zhao Chuchu followed the eunuch and rode the horse at fast as they could. Soon, they reached the Third Prince’s residence.
The Third Prince’s residence was heavily guarded. It was probably difficult even for a rat to get out.
When Zhao Chuchu saw Xie Yan lying on his bed, she realized how badly injured he was. He was almost on the verge of death.
The emperor was sitting beside Xie Yan’s bed and was extremely furious.
Several imperial physicians were kneeling on the side and trembling in fear.
“Your Majesty, Mrs. Xie is here,” said the eunuch, stepping forward.
“Then why are you still talking? Hurry up and get her here to check on Yanyan!” said the emperor angrily.
The eunuch quickly signaled for Zhao Chuchu to enter.
“Your Majesty,” Zhao Chuchu bowed and greeted the emperor.
“It’s fine; quick, save him.” The emperor sized up Zhao Chuchu and then hurried her. “Hurry up.”
“Yes. Your Majesty, would you mind making some space so I can check on the Third Prince’s injuries?”
“How dare you speak to my father, His Majesty, like this!” The moment Zhao
Chuchu said that, the Great Prince yelled, “Are you aware of your crime?”
“Sir, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Do you think a doctor can check on a patient from afar? Do you think that doctors are like gods?” Zhao Chuchu asked.
“Shut up. This is none of your business. Get out of here,” the emperor scolded the Great Prince. He was getting rather irritated. He then stood up and made space for Zhao Chuchu.
Xie Yan had been shot in his chest by three arrows. All three had landed on his vital organs. If they were to pull the arrow out, Xie Yan would die almost immediately. No wonder none of the imperial physicians dared to do anything.
Zhao Chuchu opened her medical box and took out her silver needles as she said, “Get me a light.” The eunuch quickly asked, “What kind of light?”
“Just a candle is fine.”
“Right away.”
The eunuch ran off to prepare the light.
The other imperial physicians finally dared to raise their heads to see what Zhao Chuchu was doing to save Xie Yan.
When the director of the imperial physician academy saw that Zhao Chuchu was performing acupuncture on Xie Yan, he was shocked. He shouted, “What are you doing? You can’t just do whatever you want to his highness! Your Majesty, Mrs. Xie isn’t even a doctor. Even my master wouldn’t dare use acupuncture here. She doesn’t know what she’s doing!”
“Don’t compare me to other people. If you can save him, why am I the one standing here right now? I don’t like people barking around me when I’m saving my patient. So I would suggest you judge me with your knowledge, ” Zhao Chuchu said coldly.
“You! Foolish woman!”
“I’m foolish? Where were you during the Yuanjiang County plague?” The director was so mad that he couldn’t even speak.
The emperor’s face was rather dark, but he said nothing. He was clearly doubtful of Zhao Chuchu as well.
But even the imperial physician team said that they couldn’t do anything. It was Qiao Heting who begged the emperor to bring Zhao Chuchu here.
“Zhao Chuchu, are you sure you know what you are doing? If my Third Prince dies, I will execute your entire extended family!”
Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
This idiotic dog of an emperor!
Why would it be her fault? Was the imperial court paying her?
“I am not one hundred percent confident, but I will try my very best!” Of course, Zhao Chuchu wouldn’t speak out against the emperor at that moment.
The head of the imperial physicians continued to say, “Your Majesty, this Zhao Chuchu clearly doesn’t know what she’s doing. Please reconsider this. We shouldn’t let this foolish woman ruin the Third Prince’s body!”
Zhao Chuchu got angry. She might not be able to do anything to the emperor, but she could definitely do something to this nitwit!
She picked up a pillow and threw it at him, then said, “If you don’t know how to speak properly, shut up! If you can save his highness, His Majesty wouldn’t need to ask me to come here! Your Majesty, I’m trying to save the Third Prince’s life here, but he’s trying so hard to disturb me.. Is he trying to stop me from saving the Third Prince?”
