Chapter 312: Deliberately making things difficult

On the way to the palace by Su Chen and Peng Jingqing, the carriage had to be driven on the royal street, this street is ten zhang wide, leading straight from the south gate to the palace gate, straight and wide road, belonging to the lively area, except for emergency military situations, no galloping horses.

But this time, because of the eagerness to enter the palace to save people's hearts, the Ouchi guards of the forbidden army personally rode their horses to open the way, and the carriage rushed to accompany them to the palace.

Su Chen looked through the window lattice and found that on the side of the road outside the car window, lush fallen leaves fell from the plane tree, which were originally hanging in the air and had not yet landed, but they swayed gently with the wind brought up by the carriage.

Peng Jingqing leaned over, leaned over to him, glanced at the buildings and walls on the right side of the road, and explained: "This is the yamen of the six divisions, and after this area, in front of it is the residential area of some princes, adjacent to the palace, which is convenient for entering the palace and driving. ”

Su Chen nodded slightly, before he came, he had already seen the map of Jinling City, it can be said that the imperial city of the Tang Kingdom is not big, unlike the Sui and Tang dynasties of the previous dynasty, there were six ministers in the imperial city, Guozijian, etc., and the offices of the three princes and nine kings were arranged in the imperial city, and then there was a palace city inside, which was the place where the early dynasty and the emperor and the harem beauties lived.

The imperial palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty is only a palace city, and does not have the characteristics of the imperial city of the previous dynasty, and the yamen of the three provinces, six departments and nine kings are all placed in the outside of the fang, and there is still a distance from the palace, separated by a princely residence square, which is more peculiar.

The carriage quickly passed through the Hongqiao and came to the palace gate, where it entered unhindered and went straight to the palace of the second prince.

When there is only a long corridor of 20 zhang away from the harem residential area, the carriage stops, and then there is the harem area, and the carriage and so on cannot enter, so you must dismount and walk through the long palace wall.

Su Chen and Peng Jingqing got out of the car, followed the eunuchs and the commander of the forbidden army, and rushed to the residence of the second prince.

"Qiqi official's house, Su Chen brought to-"

The eunuch Gao Sheng sang and reported to the official Li Yu.

"Hurry up and announce in." Li Yu said in the hall.

"Whoa!" After the eunuch reported inside, he sang loudly outside: "Xuan Suchen has entered the hall. ”

After Su Chen heard this, he and Peng Jingqing entered the palace of the second prince one after the other.

After entering, I was really shocked to see the scene in the hall.

Because there are many women standing in the palace, there are concubines, concubines, palace maids, palace laves, twenty or thirty people Yingying Yanyan, in addition, he also saw an old woman of the age of flowers, with hair half black and half white, wearing a graceful and gorgeous palace robe and neon skirt, with a hairpin decorated with a phoenix pattern, very aura, it should be the Guangmu Queen Zhong of the year, and the current Empress Zhong of the year.

Standing beside Empress Dowager Zhong, there are her two princesses who have not yet left the cabinet, namely Princess Yongning and Princess Yongjia, one is sixteen years old and the other is twelve years old, both of whom are Li Yu's sisters, not all of them are from the Zhong family.

When Zhou Jiamin saw Su Chen coming, his eyes showed a trace of tenderness and worry, and he wanted to step forward to talk, but he didn't dare to move, because in addition to some noble concubines and concubines here, there is mainly the Empress Dowager Zhong here, and the person who really has the right to speak in the palace, the Empress Dowager is definitely one!

Now her sister Queen Zhou is sick and bedridden, often unconscious, let go of court affairs, and has gradually lost the right to speak, she can be coquettish in front of the emperor's brother-in-law Li Yu, but in front of the queen mother, she has to behave well, and she doesn't dare to speak out at will.

After Li Yu saw Su Chen come in, his face was solemn, and he waved his hand at Su Chen and said: "Those etiquettes are all waived, Su Chen, you come over to continue the diagnosis for the second prince, and see why he suddenly aggravated his condition, didn't you say that you promised me last night that the prince has no worries about his life?" ”

Su Chen listened to Li Yu's tone with a wave of questioning and suspicion, as well as some unhappiness mixed in, thinking that when he saw the second prince yesterday, he was already dying, and you have nothing to do, but now it seems to blame him for not curing him, this is to rely on him!

"The grass people were diagnosed and treated last night, and they did find the symptoms of His Royal Highness the prince, as long as they follow the prescription prescribed by the grass people, it will have an effect after taking it for three days, and it will be effective in seven days, and it will be out of danger, and it should not be aggravated today."

At this time, Concubine Wei stood up and snorted lightly: "Who knows if you were so happy last night and deliberately bragged, but it was only temporary and effective, deceiving the trust of the official family, and if the prince had an accident today, you can shirk your responsibility." What kind of young miracle doctor, according to the palace, is simply a quack! The Queen Mother, the official family, must not be deceived by him, he is so young, what medical skills can he have? ”

Su Chen frowned, and glanced at this Concubine Wei, who was a little unhappy to be so humiliated and suspicious, but his status was low, and he had no merit or official character, so he couldn't refute it casually.

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Su Chen, she didn't expect that the miracle doctor who treated her emperor Sun Zhongxuan was this young man, who looked less than twenty years old, and was said to be the son of the criminal minister Su Mingyuan, could this be reliable?

"Do you really know how to heal?" Empress Dowager Zhong asked suspiciously.

Li Yu introduced Su Chen and said, "Su Chen, the Queen Mother is asking you." ”

Su Chen saw the living Queen Mother for the first time, so he glanced at it twice, and arched his hand: "Back to the Queen Mother, the grass people have followed their father to learn medical skills since childhood, and later have been studying the ancestral prescriptions and treatment metaphysics at home, and have some research on some incurable diseases. ”

When Empress Dowager Zhong heard this, she was a little incredulous, if it was true, it meant that this young man's medical skills were still good.

Concubine Wei snorted: "You are just a mistake, not really seeing a doctor to save people." ”

Su Chen replied: "Usually, the grass people do not see many doctors, and that is because the grass people are not full-time Langzhong, but a student of Runzhou University, who is preparing to participate in the imperial examination, so he did not sit in the doctor to see a doctor. ”

As he spoke, the two princesses, big and small, blinked their eyes and looked at him curiously.

They are not very interested in Su Chen's medical skills, but this person's poetry collection, as well as the script, have been introduced to the palace, especially the West Chamber, the Peony Pavilion, they have all read it, usually sisters discuss, especially when Princess Yongning is about to leave the cabinet at the age of sixteen, and her love is beginning to open, so she will naturally be moved by the love story of that kind of talented and beautiful woman.

Therefore, these two princesses are secretly Su Chen's fans.

They saw that Concubine Wei deliberately targeted Su Chen, and seemed to be deliberately making things difficult, although it was not easy to refute directly, but Princess Yongning still relieved Su Chen, and said to Empress Dowager Zhong: "Queen Mother, if you have real skills, it is better to let him diagnose again, otherwise, you can't ask just ask." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong nodded slightly, and said to Su Chen: "The mourning family loves this little emperor and grandson the most, Su Chen, you continue to diagnose and treat him, and see why it will aggravate his condition, if you can cure the emperor and grandson, the mourning family will reward you with a heavy reward." ”

Su Chen arched his hand and said: "The grass people obey the holy decree of the Queen Mother. ”

Concubine Jiang and Huang Baoyi made an empty place for Su Chen in front of the bed, and asked him to go forward to diagnose the pulse by himself.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, Su Chen ignored everyone's gaze, sat calmly on the edge of the bed, took his pulse seriously, and after a while, his brows couldn't help frowning.
