Painting Doctor Jinhua

Chapter 114 Death

As soon as Xiao Jinyu stepped into the hall, she heard the charming voice and laughter. She couldn't help but look in the face. She saw a woman in an emerald green peacock feather dress with scattered flowers and a nine-braid bun in the style of Wangxian, looking at her with wide eyes.

When Xiao Jinyu saw the woman's face clearly, her heart seemed to be hit hard:

This woman's appearance was surprisingly similar to her in her previous life, except that she was more charming than her, with a pair of seductive eyes that were very alluring.

Seeing that she was staring intently, Mrs. Peng covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "This genius doctor lady, could it be that she saw something from my face? Why is she so focused?"

"My dear, this is Concubine Peng!"

The eunuch hurried forward to remind him, and then reported to the queen who was sitting at the seat at the top of the hall.

Compared to Concubine Peng's gorgeous and flashy attire, Liu Jingyan looked dignified and plain. She wore a golden floor-length robe without too much decoration, and her hair was tied in a bun with five phoenixes facing the sun, which showed her status as queen.

In the past, Liu Jingyan was such a gentle, virtuous and non-confrontational person. She could treat everyone as a sister and have good relationships with everyone. It seems to be the same now.

He just summoned her to the palace to see her, but he actually called so many concubines here.

Could it be that he regarded her as some kind of treasure and specially invited people to come and see her?

"You are Xiao Jinyu? Are you the granddaughter of the Xiao family of Lanling?"

"My lady, she is the daughter of the former female medical officer Xiao Luan, and also the daughter of Han Zigao..."

Liu Jingyan turned around and glared at Concubine Peng.

"Don't mention this matter again. Han Zigao is Han Zigao, and Xiao Jinyu is Xiao Jinyu. Even if they are related by blood, they are different people and their paths are also different. The path of a doctor is the great and good path. Not judging people by their background is the right path!"

"Yes, my queen taught me that!"

Xiao Jinyu also stepped forward to pay her respects.

"I greet the Queen and all the concubines!"

"Someone, quickly give this miraculous doctor a seat!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch responded and indeed brought a couch over for Xiao Jinyu.

"Thank you, Queen. I wonder why you summoned me to the palace?"

"Young lady, I heard that you have extraordinary medical skills. Our queen admires your reputation. It just so happens that someone here also wants you to check his illness!"

Before the Queen spoke, the Imperial Concubine Peng spoke first.

Liu Jingyan didn't care, but just looked at Xiao Jinyu thoughtfully.

"Madam Peng, you are not sick. Your heart disease is just an illusion. It's like you are afraid of someone. You think about it during the day and dream about it at night, so you imagine a heart disease..."

As soon as Xiao Jinyu said this, the fake smile on Concubine Peng's face could no longer be maintained. Her face turned pale and her laughter immediately became cold.

"What did you say? I haven't even asked you yet, how did you figure out my heart disease?"

"I heard that this young lady can not only cure diseases, but also read people's minds. It seems that when she was watching my sister intently just now, she had already seen my heart disease."

The person who was speaking at this time was He Shuyi, the mother of Changsha King Chen Shujian. This He Shuyi was born exceptionally pretty and bright, but if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are very similar to her in her previous life.

Xiao Jinyu was shocked, and Concubine Peng asked in surprise:

"You took one look at it and knew what I wanted to ask you?"

If there is such a way to see through people's hearts, then wouldn't all her disguises be unnecessary?

Xiao Jinyu laughed and said, "Your Majesty is good at pretending. Even if you are unhappy, you have to pretend to be happy. But whether a person is happy or not can be seen from their eyes. Your Majesty is too worried and there is a gloom in her eyes. How can she hide it?"

Just one sentence revealed her skill at disguising herself, and Concubine Peng's face turned pale and blue.

"you--"

"If you want to cure this heart disease, then stop pretending, say what you want to say, do what you want to do, and stop playing dumb!"

"Hehehe... this young lady is really interesting. It is true, Sister Peng, you asked Her Majesty to call this young lady here just because you want her to treat His Royal Highness Prince Shixing. Just say it directly. Why waste so much words and time?" He Shuyi smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Concubine Peng was once again speechless with anger, and looked at Liu Jingyan above her with great grievance.

"Mother--"

The tone sounded a little coquettish.

He Shuyi couldn't help but roll her eyes: His Majesty is not here, who are you scolding to?

Liu Jingyan looked at Xiao Jinyu.

"Since you have such extraordinary medical skills, can you cure headaches?" she suddenly asked.

Concubine Peng and He Shuyi's faces instantly darkened.

"That depends on what kind of person it is? What kind of headache it is?"

Liu Jingyan nodded, and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Are you willing to treat King Shixing? I heard that you have rules for treating illnesses now?"

"Yes!"

"What are the rules? Tell me about them!"

"Those who are not upright will not be punished! Those who kill innocent people will not be punished! Those who are not seriously injured or disabled and will die will not be punished!"

"You——" Concubine Peng understood what he meant and couldn't help but feel angry and embarrassed!

"You want me to treat Prince Shixing, but you don't ask why he got this disease?" Xiao Jinyu asked again, "Queen, do you know?"

Liu Jingyan looked at Concubine Peng. She really didn't know this. She was not a person who liked to inquire about things outside the palace. She heard many things from Concubine Peng, but if she didn't say it, Liu Jingyan naturally didn't know.

At this time, He Shuyi spoke up: "I have heard about this from the emperor's son Cheng. He said that His Highness the Prince of Shixing wanted to kidnap a boy for fun. Unfortunately, the boy was very skilled in martial arts and extremely brave. His Highness did something, but was kicked by the boy. That's why he became disabled and seriously ill with an incurable disease!" (Note: Chen Shujian, courtesy name: Zicheng)

"absurd!"

"My words were spoken out of turn, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"I didn't say anything about you!" Liu Jingyan turned his gaze to Concubine Peng again, "Prince Shixing did such a thing, how can we let this young lady go to treat her? What's more, she is an unmarried sister-in-law, how can she treat this kind of disease!"

"But Madam——"

"Did Doctor Yao say that it is incurable?"

"without!"

Concubine Peng shook her head, but Yao Boshen's tone clearly indicated that the patient could not be cured; he just didn't dare to say it out loud.

Concubine Peng did not dare to speak frankly. If she really said that it could not be cured, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that her son would be impotent from then on? A prince who was disabled and unable to leave offspring would be doomed to have no chance of becoming emperor, and would also become a joke.

"Since there is none, let Doctor Yao treat it. Why bother this young lady?"

"Let's call it a day today and go away!"

"Yes!"

Several concubines, led by He Shuyi, bowed and left. Concubine Peng was still unwilling to give up and called out again:

"Mother--"

"Let's go! I have something to say to this young lady!"

Liu Jingyan was already impatient to listen to her anymore. Concubine Peng knew that it was pointless to say more, so she left tactfully. However, when she turned around, the resentment in her eyes deepened.

After Concubine Peng left, Liu Jingyan looked at Xiao Jinyu carefully.

"You look very much like your mother!" She sighed. "In fact, your mother and I were somewhat of a cousin, but it's a pity that she died so young!"

"My queen, do you want to talk to me about my mother?" Xiao Jinyu interrupted her vague words of regret.

"No——" Liu Jingyan smiled shyly, "I want you to treat His Majesty!"

Xiao Jinyu raised her head in surprise.

"To be honest, the person with migraine that I just mentioned is your Majesty. Your Majesty has been suffering from illness for many years. Although the doctors have prescribed some medicine for him, they are only temporary solutions and not the root cause, so..."

She looked at Xiao Jinyu again and said solemnly, "I want you to heal His Majesty!"

"But what if I say it's incurable?"
