On the fifth day of March in the 24th year of Zhaoming, Ji Linglan was mixing medicine in the back hall of Fuchun Hall, when Ji Xinchen suddenly rushed in and said, "Shopkeeper, there are many officers and soldiers outside, saying they are looking for you."

It has been three years since Ji Linglan came to Yongning Town. Some time ago, Lu Jiu was called back by Fu Nanling. Originally, Fu Nanling meant to replace Gauss to protect him, but he pushed him away.Not for anything else, but because the emperor Fu Lianchao suddenly became seriously ill last year, and has been ill for more than half a year. The court officials are arguing over the ownership of the heir to the throne, and the capital has also become dark and turbulent. In this case, the safety of Fu Nanling It made him worry even more.Coupled with three years of martial arts practice, although Ji Linglan is not a master, at least she is not as defenseless as before.Even if you encounter Gaowei, you can still carry two moves if you can't beat it.

"Officers and soldiers?"

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, if he was from Fu Nanling, he would definitely not be wearing an official uniform.It's just that although he has solved several murder cases for the Yamen, he only knows people in the Yamen, and he has nothing to do with the officers and soldiers.

Ji Linglan put down the medicine bottle in her hand, wiped it with a towel, and said: "You take these medicines outside, remember to dispense the medicine according to the dosage, and it can only be stored for one day. Before closing, no matter how much is left, it will It must be thrown away."

Ji Xinchen nodded, and said: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, you have to tell me once a day, I have already been familiar with it by heart."

Ji Linglan turned around and walked out. As soon as she came out, she saw a familiar face. It was not someone else, but Pang Li, who had met Ji Linglan a few times.

Without waiting for Ji Linglan to speak, Pang Li took the lead and said, "Are you Ji Linglan?"

In the past three years, not only did Ji Linglan grow taller, but her facial features also grew, and Pang Li didn't recognize her for a while.

Ji Linglan quickly replied: "That's Xiaomin, I don't know why the adults are looking for Xiaomin?"

Pang Li squeezed his throat and said loudly: "Ji Linglan accepts the order."

Ji Linglan was startled, then fell to her knees.

Pang Li unfolded the imperial decree and read aloud: "By God's blessing, the emperor ordered Ji Linglan to go to the capital to see the imperial concubine. There must be no mistakes, I respect you!"

Ji Linglan raised her hands above her head and said, "Xiaomin Ji Linglan accepts the order."

Ji Linglan received the imperial edict with her regular hands, and just about to speak, she heard Pang Li say: "Since you have accepted the edict, then hurry up and follow our family on the road."

"Eunuch, please allow Xiaomin to change into clothes, and explain to the buddy."

"Presumptuous! The imperial concubine is still waiting for your treatment in the palace. It is extremely urgent. There is no time for you to waste." Pang Li glanced at the guards beside him.

Seeing this, the imperial guards walked up to Ji Linglan, one left and one right, supported him and walked out the door.

Ji Linglan hurriedly said: "Xinchen, after opening today, Fuchuntang will be closed, you tell Mr. Zhang, if you have anything to do when I come back, I will take care of the house."

Ji Xinchen asked anxiously: "Shopkeeper, what's going on, when are you coming back?"

Ji Xinchen has been with Ji Linglan for two years, and has always regarded Ji Linglan as his master. Now that Ji Linglan has been taken away, he is very frightened.

Ji Linglan turned her head and smiled, comfortingly said: "I'm fine, I just went to see a doctor, you wait at home, I'll be back in a few days."

"Then I will go with the shopkeeper."

"No, you still need to take care of the house, stay at home."

Without giving the two of them a chance to talk, Ji Linglan was carried in front of the carriage and forced him into the carriage.Ji Linglan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Elder-in-law, I'm riding a horse, please ride faster."

Pang Li didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so he directly ordered: "Lead the horse to him."

Ji Linglan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, broke free from the restraints of the imperial guards, and got on the horse.

Pang Li frowned slightly, and then got on his horse, and with a wave of his hand, everyone rode away.

Looking at the dust rising around her, Ji Linglan took out a handkerchief from her chest, folded it in half and tied it, and used it as a mask. Although it was not very easy to use, it was better than nothing.

After galloping on horses for an hour, the crowd came to the city of Kyoto. Pang Li was there, and they entered the city smoothly. Because horses were not allowed in the city, they had to change to a carriage.In order to be in a good state after entering the palace, Ji Linglan strongly requested to sit on the shaft of the chariot, and could even act as a coachman.Pang Li was not in the mood to argue with him, so he let him go.

It can be seen from this incident that the condition of this concubine is indeed in critical condition, and that Pang Li can deliver the decree in person, which is enough to show the status of this concubine in Fu Lianchao's heart.The more this happened, the more nervous Ji Linglan became. Although he had learned some medical skills from Mr. Zhang of Yongning Hall in the past three years, he was still a half-baked man. In addition, without the assistance of advanced equipment, he had no idea.

Ji Linglan planned to probe first, and said: "Eunuch, in order to better diagnose and treat patients, Xiaomin needs to understand the patient's condition, the more detailed the better, and I will trouble Eunuch to answer Xiaomin's questions."

Pang Li opened his eyes and looked at Ji Linglan, and said, "Ask."

"Eunuch, I don't know what symptoms the patient has, and what diagnosis does the imperial doctor have?"

"The imperial concubine is pregnant with Liujia, and she felt abdominal pain yesterday, but she never gave birth to a dragon child overnight. The imperial doctors all said that there are signs of dystocia. The emperor heard that you have a good cure for dystocia, so he asked our family to come here." Pang Li has been by Fu Lianchao's side for many years, and he has become a fine old fox. He naturally knows the seriousness and has no intention of hiding it, so he explained the matter clearly in a few words.

"Difficult childbirth?" Ji Linglan frowned, and said, "Did your mother's water break before the father-in-law left the palace?"

Pang Li frowned slightly when he heard the words, and replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, her water broke when she was born last night."

"It's been nearly six hours since Zishi." Ji Linglan pondered for a while, and then asked: "It is difficult for women to give birth, and there are many people who have abdominal pain for two days. What is the basis for the imperial doctor to say that labor is difficult?" ?”

Pang Li was a little impatient when asked, "Our family is not an imperial doctor, how can we know this?"

Ji Linglan was taken aback, and then said: "Elder-in-law, forgive me, it's the little people who talk too much."

Pang Li snorted coldly, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan also shut up. In the past three years, in addition to Ma Changchun's wife, he has also cured seven or eight women with dystocia. It can be said that he is more handy in caesarean section operations. If there are no accidents, the treatment should be fine. question.The problem is that this woman is the empress, the emperor's woman, not to mention looking at her body, even if she looks up, it will be a crime of disrespect.In this case, let him how to do it.

"Today is really a hurdle. It's hard to say if you can't pass it." Ji Linglan murmured in his heart, but thinking of Fu Nanling in the palace, his heart became a little more stable.

Just as Ji Linglan was thinking wildly, the carriage had already entered the palace gate.The carriage stopped aside, and Pang Li and Ji Linglan got out of the carriage. Officials below the third rank had to dismount their horses and abandon their sedan chairs when they entered the palace gate, and walked to the front of the palace. This was a rule written in Fu Guo's laws.

Walking quickly all the way, after another half hour, Ji Linglan and Pang Li finally arrived outside the gate of Likun Palace.

When the little eunuch waiting at the door saw Pang Li coming back, he hurriedly greeted him, and said anxiously: "Eunuch, it's not good, my mother... she's dead."

"What!" Pang Li's complexion changed drastically, and he asked, "When did it happen?"

"Just now, the empress suddenly bled heavily, the imperial doctor was helpless, and the empress went away after a short time."

Ji Linglan didn't care about other things, and asked with concern: "What about the child?"

"The empress had a difficult labor, and the dragon son was not born. Now the emperor is furious, and the imperial doctor knelt on the ground. He might die at any moment."

Pang Li looked at Ji Linglan, his face became ugly, and said: "Whether you can survive today depends on luck."

Ji Linglan was startled, and then understood what Pang Li meant. He smiled wryly and said, "Since you are close to death, then you should give it a try. Maybe you can turn the danger into a blessing."

Pang Li frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Save the dragon."

"The empress is dead, how can I save Longzi?"

"Now is not the time to explain, without further delay, please tell the emperor that I have a way to save Longzi. But hurry, otherwise even if Hua Tuo is alive, it will be useless."

Pang Li knew in his heart that once the empress died, the job would be ruined. Although he would not die, he would definitely be punished, and he might be replaced by someone else.Now he and Ji Linglan are grasshoppers on the same rope, one prospers and the other loses, he helps Ji Linglan to help himself.

"Succeed, our family will risk this old life and get through this for you."

Without further delay, Pang Li straightened his clothes and walked into Likun Palace.

In Likun Palace, Fu Lianchao was sitting in the hall, glaring at the imperial doctor who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "What use are you for a bunch of useless things?"

After Fu Lianchao finished speaking, he coughed involuntarily, and the more he coughed, the worse he coughed.

Fu Nanling stepped forward quickly, taking care of Fu Lianchao, and said angrily: "You useless things, didn't you see that the father is unwell? Why don't you hurry up and treat him!"

The judge of the Royal Hospital hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Fu Lianchao, trying to feel Fu Lianchao's pulse, but Fu Lianchao kicked him to the ground.

"Get out! My illness has been incurable for a long time, and Ling'er's illness you are helpless. Now that Concubine Lin has given birth, you still have nothing to do. What use is it for me to support you? Come and drag them all down!"

Fu Lianchao was really angry. He had just passed middle age, and when he was in the prime of life, he suddenly fell ill. How could he not be terrified.This child was obtained before his illness, and it was the only happy event around him for so long, so Fu Lianchao was looking forward to it. He hoped that the birth of Longzi would bring auspiciousness and restore his health. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a difficult delivery. Two corpses.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Seeing the imperial guards walk in, the imperial doctors who were prostrate on the ground hurriedly begged for mercy.

Fu Nanling frowned slightly, and said: "Father, calm down. These useless things should be killed, but your body still needs them to take care of you, so let's keep them for the time being. I will wait for my son to search for famous doctors all over the world, and someone to replace them It's not too late to kill."

Fu Lianchao snorted coldly, but did not persist in the end.

Xiao Hai received the letter from the eunuch, and quickly bowed and said, "My Majesty, Pang Li has returned and is waiting outside the palace."

Fu Lianchao frowned, and said angrily: "This man is dead, so what's the use of him coming back?"

"Your Majesty, Pang Li said that maybe the prince can still be saved."

"What?" Fu Lianchao was startled, and then said, "Send him in."

Hearing the summons, Pang Li hurriedly walked into the hall, then knelt down on the ground, and said: "The old slave Pang Li will see the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Fu Lianchao asked bluntly: "You said the prince is still alive, what's the matter?"

"Back to the emperor, this is what the doctor Ji Xiao said, and the old slave is just passing it on."

"Miraculous Doctor Li?" Fu Lianchao frowned slightly, and said, "Show him in."

Ji Linglan followed the little eunuch to the entrance of the main hall of Likun Palace, bowed and walked in, stopped in front of the hall, knelt down on the ground, and saluted respectfully: "Xiaomin Ji Linglan sees the emperor, long live long live Long live!"

Seeing that it was Ji Linglan who came in, Fu Nanling was startled, then frowned, and gave Pang Li a cold look.

Fu Lianchao looked at Ji Linglan carefully, and asked, "Can you save the child in Concubine Lin's belly?"

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin is only [-]% sure."

"Fifty percent?" Fu Lianchao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, if you can save the child, I will reward you very much."

Ji Linglan took a deep breath, and said: "When Xiaomin was treating her, he would disrespect the empress's body. I ask the emperor to forgive Xiaomin for his offense."

Fu Lianchao frowned when he heard this, obviously displeased, and said, "How disrespectful?"

"C-section." Ji Linglan put it bluntly, he has no extra time now, the longer the delay, the less likely the child will survive.

Xiao Hai scolded loudly: "Presumptuous, you dare to be disrespectful to your empress, you deserve death!"

Ji Linglan prostrated on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, it's not too late. If you delay any longer, even if you're [-]% sure."

Fu Lianchao's face is ugly, E is obviously hesitating.

Seeing this, Fu Nanling said aloud: "Father, Concubine Lin has your flesh and blood in her stomach. My imperial brother is a new student. If Concubine Lin is alive, she must hope that the child will survive."

Fu Nanling's words entered Fu Lianchao's heart, he waved his hands and said: "Okay, if you can save the child, I will reward you a lot; if you can't, then you will be buried with him."

"Yes, Xiaomin leads the order." Ji Linglan smiled wryly in her heart, not daring to delay any longer, and hurriedly followed the little eunuch into the inner hall.

Ji Linglan drove out all the maids and eunuchs. Anyway, if he couldn't save the child in Concubine Lin's stomach, his life was probably at an end, so he had no scruples.

After entering the dissection room and taking the corresponding tools, Ji Linglan reappeared in the inner hall and went to the bed to check on Concubine Lin's condition.Her breathing is vague and her heartbeat is slow. In ancient times without a stethoscope, one would have thought she was dead.Ji Linglan didn't delay any longer, put on the protective clothing, picked up the scalpel, and began the cesarean section.Although she is still alive, she is already on the brink of death. Not to mention this era, she cannot be saved even in modern times.

Carefully took the baby out of the body, cut the umbilical cord, Ji Linglan patted the soles of his feet skillfully, but the baby didn't move at all, looking at the cyanotic baby, Ji Linglan's heart tightened, and she quickly and carefully performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation for him , Cooperating with artificial respiration, it took a long time to see the baby responding. After coughing a few times, a weak cry sounded.

Ji Linglan carefully wrapped the baby in a quilt, simply cleaned the dirt from his mouth and nose, and put him aside.Ji Linglan looked at Concubine Lin and found that her heartbeat and breathing had stopped.Ji Linglan sighed and began to examine the corpse. Concubine Lin's face was cyanotic, and there were bloody stains on the pillow and collar. She had just died, but her muscles were stiff, which was obviously unreasonable.

Ji Linglan wanted to continue the examination, but heard a knock on the door, followed by Pang Li's voice, "What's the matter with the little genius doctor, the emperor is in a hurry."

"Wait, just wait a little longer."

Ji Linglan didn't care about other things, and quickly sewed up the wound, packed up all the things, and put them back in the dissecting room.He looked at Concubine Lin's body, gritted his teeth, picked up the baby beside the bed and walked to the door.

The door of the inner hall was opened, and Ji Linglan appeared in front of everyone holding the baby.Pang Li was the closest, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Little genius doctor, can Longzi be saved?"

Ji Linglan nodded, and said: "I kept it, but because of the mother's body, the little prince's health may not be very good."

"It's good to keep it, the little genius doctor doesn't have to worry about other things." Pang Li said in a low voice.

Fu Lianchao also saw the child in Ji Linglan's arms, walked over with Fu Nanling's support, and asked, "How is the child?"

Ji Linglan quickly knelt down on the ground, and replied: "Go back to the emperor, it's a good thing that Xiaomin didn't disgrace her life."

Fu Lianchao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "Hurry up and bring me here, let me have a look."

"Yes."

Pang Li took the baby from Ji Linglan's hand, and handed it to Fu Lianchao carefully.

Fu Lianchao took the baby, opened it and looked at it, said with a smile: "My little prince is blessed and destined to be my little lucky star in the future. Ling'er, look quickly, this is your Ninth Emperor Brother."

"Jiuhuangdi is so soft, I dare not hug him, for fear of breaking him."

"That's true, your subordinates have never been serious."

"Father, Brother Nine Emperors was able to save his life, but thanks to the little genius doctor, you will be rewarded a lot." Fu Nanling turned his eyes to Ji Linglan.

Ji Linglan said hastily: "The third prince speaks seriously, and it is really a blessing for the little people to share the emperor's worries."

Fu Lianchao said with a smile: "Reward, to keep the royal blood, you must reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En. Your Majesty, the little prince has just been born and is weak. He still needs to be taken care of carefully."

Fu Lianchao nodded and glanced at Pang Li.Pang Li quickly took the baby and handed it to the nurse who was waiting by the side.

Fu Lianchao said, "Concubine Lin has worked so hard, she gave birth to a prince for me, canonized as Concubine Lin, and buried with the honor of a noble concubine! Ji Linglan guarantees the safe birth of the dragon son, rewards 500 taels of gold, and is transferred to the Imperial Hospital to be on duty."

When Ji Linglan heard this, she immediately frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, the medical skills of Xiaomin are shallow, and I am afraid that I will not be able to be an imperial doctor. I also ask the emperor to take back my order."

Fu Lianchao's face turned cold, and he said, "Do you want to disobey the king's orders?"

"The emperor forgives the crime, but the common people dare not." In order to live freely in the future, Ji Linglan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The emperor Rong Bing, the common people have limited medical skills, and they can only take a child by caesarean section. I don’t know anything about it, it’s really embarrassing to take on a big responsibility, and I ask the emperor to learn from it.”

"I heard that you opened a pharmacy in Yongning Town. If you don't have medical skills, how can you prescribe and sell medicine?"

Ji Linglan quickly explained: "Back to the emperor, Xiaomin never prescribed prescriptions, only sold medicine. When Xiaomin was young, he got a prescription for treating typhoid fever. Because of its good curative effect, Xiaomin wanted to make a living from it, but If I don’t know how to see a doctor, I negotiate with the old doctor in Yongningtang, Yongning Town, and let him see the doctor. If anyone with typhoid fever goes to my pharmacy to get medicine, the old doctor will share [-]% of the medicine money.”

Fu Lianchao raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that true?"

"Back to the emperor, what Xiaomin said is true, I dare not lie to the emperor."

"Father, what he said, I can prove it." Fu Nanling interrupted suddenly.

Fu Lianchao looked at Fu Nanling and asked suspiciously, "Oh? What does Ling'er mean by that?"

Fu Nanling smiled and said, "Father, do you still remember the Liaoyuan case three years ago?"

Fu Lianchao frowned slightly, and said, "Of course I remember, why did Ling'er mention this?"

"Then Father, do you still remember the young man who rescued Li Tai and broke into the Liu Mansion alone?"

Fu Lianchao was taken aback, then looked at Ji Linglan on the ground, and said, "I only remember that boy's surname is Ji, could it be that he..."

"That's right, he is that young man." Fu Nanling paused, and then said: "My minister once asked him, 'What kind of reward do you want for such a great achievement, the father always clearly rewards and punishes him, as long as it is reasonable, he will definitely give you a reward." Reward you', he said, 'It's our duty to share our worries for the country, we don't ask for rewards'. He also said, 'I am a beggar, I don't know etiquette. Said he was stupid, to give up such a good opportunity. He said he knew his own weight, he shouldn't want it, even if he wanted it, he would lose it sooner or later. Father, tell me, how many people can be as stupid as him. "

Fu Nanling's words eased Fu Lianchao's face a lot, he looked at Ji Linglan with a little appreciation, and said: "In my opinion, he is living a clear life."

"Seeing that he was really hopeless, Erchen bought him a house and a shop in Yongning Town, and regarded it as a reward for him. It's just that I didn't expect that the little genius doctor that Eunuch Pang invited today was actually him."

Fu Lianchao looked at Pang Li indifferently.

Seeing this, Pang Li quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "The emperor forgives the crime. This old servant only recommended it to the emperor after he believed the rumors in the market. I also hope that the emperor will forgive the old servant for his negligence for the sake of his loyalty."

Fu Lianchao snorted coldly, and said: "Today, Long Zi was saved, and you have a share of credit, so let's offset the two. If there is another time, I will definitely not be lenient!"

Pang Li quickly thanked him and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness, this old servant will definitely take this as a warning!"

Fu Lianchao looked at Ji Linglan, and said, "Ji Linglan, you do have some self-knowledge. In view of the fact that you saved the prince today, I will let you go and not punish you. As for the transfer to the Royal Hospital, That's all, let's get up."

When Ji Linglan heard it, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Emperor Long En, long live long live long live!"

"Your Majesty, my mother's death is unjust, you have to make decisions for my mother!" At this moment, an old mother suddenly fell to her knees and cried out.

Seeing this, Xiao Hai yelled loudly: "Presumptuous! How can you make noise in front of the emperor, pull it down!"

Regardless of Xiao Hai's scolding, the old mama continued to cry loudly: "Your majesty, the slaves are wronged, your empress was killed by others, please ask the emperor to make decisions for your empress!"

Xiao Hai wanted to say more, but Fu Lianchao stopped him and said, "Let her answer in front of the palace."

Fu Lianchao has been lingering on the sick bed for nearly half a year, and after such a toss today, his energy is no longer good.

Fu Nanling said aloud: "Father, your complexion is not good, there is a lot of blood here, my servant helps Father to sit down in the main hall and talk about it."

Fu Lianchao patted Fu Nanling's hand in relief, and said, "Okay, listen to Ling'er."

The emperor moved, and everyone followed. Ji Linglan looked at the door of the inner hall, sighed and followed.

Fu Lianchao and Fu Nanling took their seats in the main hall respectively, Pang Li and Xiao Hai waited on Fu Lianchao's side, Ji Linglan and Xiao Lizi consciously stood behind Fu Nanling.

Fu Lianchao said aloud, "Send her to come in."

"Yes."

Pang Li led the order to the door and brought up the old nanny who had complained just now.

The old mammy came to the front of the hall and knelt down, saying: "My maidservant Qiu Niang sees the emperor."

Fu Lianchao squeezed the center of his brows, and said a little tiredly: "Just now you kept saying that your master was killed by someone, what proof do you have?"

"Back to the emperor, my mother is in good health. Even the imperial doctor said that my mother's health is good, and she will be able to give birth smoothly. Today, she had a difficult delivery for no reason. She almost killed two people. The servant girl thought that someone must be jealous of the mother's pregnancy. Harm the empress."

Fu Nanling looked at Qiuniang disdainfully, and said, "What do you think? What kind of thing are you? Do you have the qualifications here?"

Qiuniang hurriedly prostrated herself on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, the status of a servant is lowly, and death is not a pity, but Lin Guifei desperately gave birth to the dragon seed for the emperor, and I hope the emperor will see it for the sake of Lin Guifei's deep love for you. She is fair."

"Qiu Niang, do you know that if you have no evidence, then what you did earlier was grandstanding, and I will punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor."
