Chapter 355: Ingratiating the Imperial Physician
Chapter 355: Ingratiating the Imperial Physician
After seeing his son leave, the Prince of Jinyang finally showed a worried expression. In the end, his son was still ignorant and had offended someone he shouldn't have.
Prince Jinyang secretly made plans for tomorrow.
The next morning, after the court session, Prince Jinyang did not go home directly but went to the Imperial Hospital as planned.
As a prince, he actually had to apologize to a royal physician.
"Prince Jinyang, what brings you here? Why didn't you just summon us?"
It was the young imperial physician who went out to deliver medicine who first noticed Prince Jinyang and stepped forward to pay his respects.
Fortunately, the Prince of Jinyang in the province continued to wait.
"Summon Imperial Physician Song Miqiu out here. You don't need to give my name."
The young imperial physician, sensing the danger, cautiously replied, "But this morning, Imperial Physician Song Miqiu went to the inner palace to treat the concubines."
After pondering for a moment, the Prince of Jinyang turned and left.
Looks like I missed it again today.
The temperature has dropped slightly these past few days, and many of the concubines in the harem are suffering from rheumatism.
Especially during this season when everyone's legs ache terribly, that's why Song Miqiu was summoned early in the morning, since she is currently the most favored person in the palace.
Song Miqiu complained incessantly, saying he couldn't even sleep in.
Upon arriving at the inner palace, the concubines and empresses from all the palaces lined up to wait.
However, we still need to proceed one by one according to their status.
Song Miqiu was first taken to the Imperial Noble Consort, who was not someone to be trifled with in the palace.
After getting the treatment and medicine, Song Miqiu didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
The rest was much easier to handle, though a little noisy, with everyone chattering away around Song Miqiu.
When the time came, one of the ladies suffered from severe rheumatism, and as a last resort, Song Miqiu activated the system and retrieved a special medicine from it.
"Is my illness terminal, Imperial Physician?"
Seeing the Empress's worried expression, Song Miqiu placed the medicine in her hand.
"If you take this medicine on time, you'll get better. Don't worry."
Now all the other ladies-in-waiting rushed up, regardless of whether they were sick or not, all wanting to take the medicine back from Song Miqiu.
Having no other option, Song Miqiu took out some more from the system and distributed it to everyone, which finally calmed things down.
Having treated the ladies, Song Miqiu just wanted to go back and be alone, so she left in a hurry.
On the way back, they encountered the Prince of Jinyang.
Song Miqiu sighed deeply, "It seems today is not going to be a peaceful day."
However, Song Miqiu's biggest worry was how to deal with the possibility that the Prince of Jinyang had come to cause trouble.
While he was thinking, the Prince of Jinyang had already seen Song Miqiu. Knowing that he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward.
"Song Miqiu pays his respects to the Prince of Jinyang."
After pressing Song Miqiu down, the Prince of Jinyang was at a loss for words.
"If there's nothing else, Prince Jinyang, I'll head back to prepare medicine for the Emperor."
Seeing that the prince was silent, Song Miqiu should hurry up and run away.
But the next second, he was stopped by the Prince of Jinyang.
"Imperial Physician, please wait a moment. Do you have time to have a chat with me?"
Song Miqiu frowned and muttered to himself.
"This is bad, he must be here to avenge Pei Jun."
You can't say what you think in your heart.
"Of course we have time. There's a small pavilion up ahead, let's go there and chat."
Since we can't avoid it, we might as well find a place with a better view.
"Please summon the imperial physician."
But judging from the tone of the Prince of Jinyang's voice, he doesn't seem to be here to cause trouble.
Sure enough, once they arrived at the pavilion, the Prince of Jinyang revealed the purpose of his visit to Song Miqiu.
"My son caused trouble for the imperial physician last night. I beg the imperial physician not to take this to heart for my sake."
Song Miqiu didn't understand why the Prince of Jinyang was apologizing to her. What was going on?
After thinking it over, I realized there must be something fishy going on.
"Since there's no one else here, Prince Jinyang, stop beating around the bush and just say what you want to say."
Its momentum was as bold and unrestrained as climbing mountains or wading through seas of fire.
Prince Jinyang smiled instead, "My son has been spoiled rotten by me. He offended the imperial physician, so I'm here to apologize. There's no need for any beating around the bush."
Could it really be an apology? Song Miqiu wondered to herself.
"Why would a prince apologize to a mere imperial physician like myself? Is there nothing hidden here?"
The Prince of Jinyang stroked his beard and burst into laughter.
"Imperial Physician, you're overthinking it. I've come here sincerely to apologize, and I'd like to make friends with you."
Song Miqiu still didn't believe that a prince could be friends with a royal physician.
He just wanted to get rid of Prince Jinyang as soon as possible, afraid of falling into his trap.
"I am not qualified to be friends with Your Highness. Your Highness, please don't joke like that."
Song Miqiu had already been quite direct, but the Prince of Jinyang was stubborn.
"I am not joking. I wonder what the young lady thinks?"
Song Miqiu dared not agree; she had to discuss it with Yu Huailin first before making a decision.
"Your Highness must have many things to attend to. How about we wait until I've made up my mind and then visit Your Highness's residence?"
After saying that, he ran away in a flash without giving the Prince of Jinyang any time to react.
He kept looking back to see if anyone was following.
Song Miqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at the Imperial Hospital.
"Finally, we got rid of him."
However, we really need to think carefully about what this Prince of Jinyang is planning.
As she walked along the palace grounds, she was surprised to find the Seventh Prince waiting for her in the courtyard.
When Song Miqiu saw the Seventh Prince, it was too late to slip away.
“Where is the young lady going? I have been waiting for her here for an hour.”
Song Miqiu turned around and looked at the Seventh Prince helplessly.
"Long time no see."
I simply couldn't force a smile.
The Seventh Prince, however, stepped forward with great enthusiasm, took out a package from his pocket, and handed it to Song Miqiu.
Song Miqiu looked at it and asked about the taste. This was a packet of top-quality medicinal herbs, which was rare even in the imperial palace.
Startled, Song Miqiu quickly returned it to the Seventh Prince.
"I dare not accept something so valuable."
The seventh prince then forced the object into Song Miqiu's hands.
"Girl, take this quickly."
"You've been taking care of the Emperor and Empress lately, so don't overwork yourself. These things can help you recover."
Seeing the Seventh Prince's enthusiastic manner, Song Miqiu really didn't know what to say, so she could only accept it.
"Then I'll thank you for your thoughtfulness, Seventh Prince."
Only after Song Miqiu accepted the gift did the Seventh Prince finally smile.
"That's more like it."
Song Miqiu doesn't want to break ties with the Seventh Prince yet; she can't afford to make things too awkward.
However, she always felt uneasy and had some reservations about the Seventh Prince.
"If there's nothing else, Seventh Prince, I'll go to the room to prepare medicine for His Majesty."
The Seventh Prince wanted to talk to Song Miqiu a little longer, but he was very worried when he saw that Song Miqiu was in such a hurry to leave.
