Qin Tai took Zhan Xiaoxiao back to Empress Dowager Li, it was already late at this time, and Empress Dowager Chen went back to rest. Because Empress Dowager Li was worried about the case, she still sat in the main hall of the dormitory and waited for Qin Tai and his wife. After all, Qin Tai and his wife were outsiders and could not stay in Cining Palace for the night, so Qin Tai and his wife asked to go back with the portrait and evidence to study the case. Empress Dowager Li not only agreed, but also said that she would invite Qin Tai and his wife to have dinner in Cining Palace before leaving. Qin Tai's father knew that Empress Dowager Li was just polite, and he didn't really invite everyone to dinner, so he hurriedly refused. By the time Qin Tai and his wife left the palace, Qiu Xiaoqiu, and Feng Bao, it was already completely dark.

Qin Tai didn't want to reveal the information to Feng Bao too early, but just told Feng Bao that he was going to interrogate a few witnesses tomorrow and go to the Tai Hospital. Although there are also detailed files of the princess and the emperor's eldest son in the celebrant priest, the files are registered according to the account of the imperial physician. Only by finding the imperial doctor who treated the princess and the eldest son of the emperor can the information be conclusively determined whether the princess is full-term or not. And it is impossible for this imperial doctor to appear in Cining Palace at any time, so he had to go to the imperial hospital to block this imperial doctor, and at the same time ask the questions to be asked.

Feng Bao also knew Qin Tai's character, and it was very likely that he would clash head-on with those arrogant imperial doctors when he went to the Tai Hospital this time. It seems that the opponents encountered by the imperial doctors this time, Qin Tai and his wife are no less than the imperial doctors in terms of medical skills, if the powerful imperial doctors can't stop the gold medal in Qin Tai's hands, and the moral character and momentum of being a person, the imperial doctors are not as good as Qin Tai combined, and no one can hurt Qin Tai in the fight. Can't say Qin Tai, can't beat Zhan Xiaoxiao, and his medical skills are not as good, it seems that this time the imperial doctor is going to be unlucky.

No matter who gets sick, no matter how bastard the imperial relatives are, they will not deliberately offend the doctors, especially the imperial doctors, so they have developed the temper of the imperial doctors. Although the imperial physicians were a low-grade yamen, the highest chief was only the envoy of the Tai Hospital of the fourth rank, and then the court judge of the fifth rank, and the head of the case from the sixth rank, the ordinary imperial physician from the seventh rank, and the medical hand of the assistant of the imperial doctor. Because they were treating the emperor and his relatives, they were still very proud to see the ministers of the third and fourth grades. In order to see a doctor, those ministers had no choice but to be respectful to the imperial doctors, and some officials even took the initiative to get close to these imperial doctors. In this way, these imperial doctors are used to being unpresentable, and even some doctors dare to point fingers at people. Some officials couldn't stand it and wanted to take care of these imperial doctors, but the higher-ranking officials disagreed, because the imperial family and the royal family were implicated behind the imperial hospital.

On this day, the people in the Tai Hospital continued to procrastinate as usual, and everything was very procrastinating. The ministers who want to see a doctor in everything, those who do not give gifts drag them out, and they do not see gifts and do not give them medical treatment. If you want to ask the doctors to dispense medicine, you will not give the medicine at a price three times higher than the original price, because the hospital is too poor, and you can only subsidize the hospital by selling medicine. Obviously, it should be the best medicine, but they unscrupulously exchanged inferior medicinal materials and sold them at a price nearly three times higher than that of high-grade medicinal materials, and they were even more black-hearted than black-hearted pharmacists. A large group of doctors are developing a batch of pills that have been seriously shoddy and weakened by the imperial doctors, which are for the queen mother, and they dare to fake it in it. The hospital envoy of Tai Hospital has been absent from work for a long time, and he is not allowed to disturb him if there is no important matter, and it is actually very easy to find him, as long as he goes to the pharmacy on South Street. It seems that he takes care of both public and private affairs, and uses public money to do his own business, which is really a wonderful person. The hospital judge settles accounts in his own office, counts a sum of black money, and all the income is shared by every official doctor in the hospital, so he is not afraid of someone saying it. Two sanctimonious imperial doctors who seemed to outsiders were reading books in their rooms, but what they were reading was not a medical book or the way of a sage, but a picture of the Spring Palace. Seeing that they are not young, they still like this tune, so they have to say that they are getting older and stronger.

Qin Tai and his wife and Qiu Xiaoqiu were led by Feng Bao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, to the Tai Hospital near the palace. Originally, Feng Bao wanted to inform the Tai Hospital in advance, but Qin Tai stopped Feng Bao's behavior, because Qin Tai wanted to see the true image of the Tai Hospital. Qin Tai and Feng Bao both wanted to know how the doctors of the Tai Hospital usually did things in the Tai Hospital, but Feng Bao didn't want to go too far, but Qin Tai had to do this, so Feng Bao had to let Qin Tai do it. In fact, Feng Bao more or less knows some of the details of the hospital, and he also hopes to prove the doubts in his heart. So Feng Bao changed into civilian clothes as soon as possible, and personally took Qin Tai and his wife and Qiu Xiaoqiu to Tai Hospital.

Maybe it's because Feng Bao rarely comes to the Tai Hospital, or maybe because Feng Bao is usually relatively low-key, so a doctor guarding the door of the Tai Hospital didn't recognize the person as the eunuch Feng Bao Feng Gonggong. He said lazily: "I pay ten taels of silver for medical treatment, and I don't have fifty taels of silver for the prescription of the imperial doctors to buy medicine, but there are thirty taels of silver for the prescription that the imperial doctor started." Ask to see the Taiyi door bag for one tael of silver, three taels of silver for the number, and one tael of silver for tea. Please ask the imperial doctor to bring thirty taels of silver for the carriage, and the medicine fee will be calculated separately. There are no carriages of more than 50 taels of silver above the third grade, and 100 taels of silver for the officials' families below the third grade, and the cost of medicine is still calculated separately. ”

The Tai Hospital should not charge officials for medical treatment, and at most they will give some thanks for seeing the disease, but now the Tai Hospital clearly marks the price, which openly violates the rules of the imperial court. Also, as long as people with experience know that the hospital only treats people, and should not take medicine on their behalf. There is a royal pharmacy in the palace and various pharmacies outside the palace, why did the hospital also start a medicinal herb business? The Ming Law stipulates that Ming officials are not allowed to do business, and officials are not allowed to hold civilian positions, because they are worried that officials will use the public for personal gain and be partial in handling things. At the beginning of the establishment of the Tai Hospital, it was stipulated that the Tai Yi was not allowed to do business or sell medicines, and the Tai Hospital was not allowed to establish a pharmacy without permission. Now that the hospital not only has its own pharmacy, but also openly sells medicines in the hospital, the hospital has gone crazy.

Feng Bao is the eunuch in charge of all the yamen inside and outside the palace, and the Tai Hospital is also under his jurisdiction. The hospital is seriously violating the rules, which is tantamount to saying that Feng Bao can't manage the hospital well. Of course, Feng Bao was very angry, and he asked someone to call Zheng Yuntai while breaking in. Zheng Yuntai is now the envoy of the Tai Hospital, that is, the boss of the Tai Hospital. But Feng Bao didn't know that Zheng Yuntai, who was respectful to him, had been absent from work for a long time, and the business of the South Street Pharmacy was getting better and better, so he was so busy that the owner Zheng Yuntai had no time to manage the hospital.

When the doctor saw that Feng Bao opened his mouth to see Zheng Yuntai, he didn't dare to offend Feng Bao, and let Feng Bao take Qin Tai and his wife and Qiu Xiaoqiu into the Tai Hospital. Qin Tai and Qiu Xiaoqiu saw the matter of the Tai Hospital for the first time, that is, the medicine boxes of the Tai Doctors. This was originally the stuff of the doctors who ate and discarded it on the floor of the hospital, which is not only irresponsible, but also a disrespect for the doctor's career. Qiu Xiaoqiu picked up one of the medicine boxes and skillfully opened the medicine boxes, which were full of some ordinary medicinal materials and tools of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and they were all of the worst quality. Qiu Xiaoqiu picked up one of the tweezers for medicinal purposes, and the roughness was not as rough as the first tool Qiu Xiaoqiu made by himself back then. The gauze inside is not only not clean but also has a peculiar smell, if Qiu Xiaoqiu dared to use this kind of gauze, it is estimated that he would have been kicked to death by his always careful cousin-in-law Zhanxiao. Their standards for treating the dead are higher than those for the living, so it's no wonder that Zhan Xiaoxiao reminded Qiu Xiaoqiu in advance not to have too high expectations for the doctors.
