Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 140 Decision
Imperial Physician Wen waved his hand, motioned to several other low-ranking imperial physicians, and said to Zhao Defang in a low voice: "Your Highness, please guard outside the palace gate, and no one is allowed to enter!"

Zhao Defang was ignorant when he heard this, but it was Empress Song who saw Imperial Physician Wen's solemn expression, knowing that there must be a major reason for it, so she repeatedly gave Defang a hint to tell him to follow suit.

Soon, there were only Empress Song and Imperial Physician Wen left in the dormitory, and Imperial Physician Wen looked miserable, and fell to the ground with a plop in front of Empress Song, weeping: "Please forgive me, the Empress, Your Majesty's illness, The old are powerless!"

Empress Song seemed to have been hit by a sap in the head, and her body was shaky immediately. She stretched out her hand to support the screen to barely stand still, and said in a trembling voice: "So, the Holy One is... hopeless?"

"No, no!" Imperial Physician Wen denied repeatedly, and after considering his words, he said: "Although the Holy Majesty is seriously ill, it is by no means hopeless, but it is not the power of medicine and stones that can be effective, and it depends on the Holy Majesty's own physique and will. And luck!"

Empress Song's complexion was heavy, and she still couldn't understand what Doctor Wen meant - if the Holy Majesty wanted to recover, it would be very difficult, even if it wasn't hopeless. In short, everything depended on fate up. .

She slowly sat down on the chair, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked Wen Han up and down, suddenly slapped the armrest, raised her head and asked, "Doctor Wen, what you said is really true?! You must know this matter The relationship is not small, if there is half a sentence of deceit, I will never forgive you!"

Physician Wen understood that Empress Song had doubts in her heart, and he was prepared for it, so he said calmly: "Empress, what you said just now is the conclusion made by the old man based on his decades of medical practice. And cheating, I am willing to pay with my life!"

Empress Song pondered for a while. This doctor Wen spoke so solemnly that he even risked his own life. Logically speaking, it should be credible. After thinking about it, he asked: "In this case, why did you lie just now?" Deceiving, claiming that the Holy Majesty's condition has improved greatly, and he will wake up soon? It really made me happy."

Dr. Wen lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and whispered: "How can I tell the truth when King Jin is here just now? Who in the government and the public does not know that King Jin is powerful. Once King Jin knows that the Holy Emperor is critically ill, something unexpected will happen." disaster--"

Empress Song didn't wait for him to finish, she suddenly darkened her face, and sternly scolded: "Okay! You are an imperial physician, it is your duty to ask for diagnosis and treatment, why do you dare to speculate on the government affairs and interfere in the affairs of the Tian Family? thing?"

Physician Wen knew that Empress Song had a lot of doubts about her, but she also understood that it was no wonder that she was an imperial physician who had never had any sense of presence in the government and had never had any contact with her. It is strange to be suspicious.

When things got to this point, Imperial Doctor Wen couldn't help but tell the truth. He was silent for a while, and then slowly told the truth: "As the empress said, I'm just a seventh-rank head of the imperial hospital. Officer, that is an extremely small job, how dare you intervene in the affairs of the court without authorization? It is just because this old man once received a favor from the King of Tianshui County and had to repay him..."

It turned out that as early as a few months ago, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Kuangyin father and son competed with sticks. Zhao Dezhao let his father beat him all over his body with bruises. A young imperial doctor had just entered the imperial hospital and had no experience in serving nobles, so his actions were very rude, making Zhao Dezhao grinning.

But Zhao Dezhao never said a word of blame, and he didn't even cry out in pain.Otherwise, according to the rules in the palace: it is a serious crime to serve nobles with care and attention, and this young imperial physician will have to be punished with sticks, and even Wen Han, who is the head of the imperial hospital, will inevitably suffer some troubles.

"...that young imperial doctor who did things rudely was the grandson of the old man's third generation. A little personal favor, but from this trivial matter, it can be seen that the prince of Tianshui County has a kind heart, if he can succeed to the throne, it must be the blessing of the Song Dynasty and the people of the world - this is the old public heart."

"On the other hand, if King Jin is allowed to ascend the throne, with his suspicious and insidious temperament, the consequences will be really unpredictable. At least I will be in a hospital. This is also a little private thought of this old man. I only hope that the empress will understand. "

After Wen Han finished explaining the ins and outs, he hung his head and said nothing.

The corner of Empress Song's mouth twitched slightly, and she felt mixed feelings in her heart. She never thought that the reason why this doctor Wen suddenly appeared to stir up trouble was because he was biased towards Zhao Dezhao, and the reason for this was so difficult. It's a trivial matter. Could it be that this is the so-called "more help when you get the right way"?
Regarding Zhao Dezhao as an "ally", Empress Song had quite complicated feelings. In the past, her stepson was muddle-headed and domineering, so that his reputation was ruined. She looked down on her somewhat in her heart, but because The two of them had very little contact, and they had nothing to do with each other. Her attitude towards this stepson had always been completely ignoring, as if there was no such a number one person.

Because Empress Song herself has not been able to give birth to a boy and a half girl, she put all her energy on cultivating Zhao Defang who is close to her, hoping to promote him to become the crown prince. In this way, after Zhao Kuangyin a hundred years later, she You can get a support yourself.

However, a few months ago, Zhao Dezhao suddenly rose up without any warning, and his status almost skyrocketed like a kite, and then he suddenly offered an alliance invitation to Empress Song.Empress Song was naturally happy to see the results, but she still favored Zhao Defang in her heart.

But at the moment, the name Zhao Dezhao suddenly appeared in front of him, Empress Song had to make a decision.

After being silent for a long time, Empress Song finally spoke: "Mr. Wen, do you really think that the Prince's House of Tianshui County has a kind heart and is the best choice for the successor?"

Physician Wen naturally couldn't guess the twists and turns in Empress Song's stomach. He lowered his head and answered honestly: "I am just an imperial physician who knows the art of Qi and Huang. How can I understand these important national affairs? Already seventy years old, practicing medicine for more than forty years, and seeing thousands of people, this old man said that the king of Tianshui County is a benevolent man, and he is truly sincere!"

Empress Song was noncommittal, she got up and walked back and forth in the bedroom for a few steps, and finally nodded slightly.
