837 [Planning to leave]
Seeing that Sai Xishi went to the palace and came back unscathed, Hu Suhua couldn't help but feel confident. The next day, she boldly entered the palace with Xiang Nan. As expected, nothing serious happened.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I, Hu Suhua, would actually enter the palace. When I saw the emperor and the empress, my whole life was worth it." She said with satisfaction.
Under Xiang Nan's treatment, Concubine Zhen's stick injury was healed within three days. Not only could she get up, but she could also walk on the ground, and she was basically fine.
When Guangxu saw this, he was naturally happy.
"Okay, Xilaile has done a good job in treating Concubine Zhen, and I will reward you with a yellow mantle!" he decreed.
At that moment, Prince Jing came to Xilaile Mansion with the imperial edict and the yellow mantle.
"Xilaile accepts the decree!" He read loudly, "I have been entrusted to the emperor by heaven, and he said: Xilaile has profound medical skills, noble medical ethics, hangs pots to help the world, has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, and has made great achievements in treating Zhenfei. He is specially given a yellow mantle as a token of recognition.
Kudos to this!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live my Emperor!" Xiang Nan said loudly, and then took the imperial edict with both hands.
"Xilaile, get up." Prince Jing said with a smile, then held up the yellow mantle in both hands, "Here, I will put it on for you."
"I don't dare to work for you, my lord. I'll do it myself," Xiang Nan said with a smile, and then passed the imperial edict to Hu Suhua.
"This is the imperial edict. It's so beautiful." She stroked it in surprise, "Hey, don't touch it randomly. Wash your hands first before touching it dirty."
At this time, Xiang Nan had already put on his yellow mantle, "How do you guys take a look?"
"So spirited, so impressive~" Hu Suhua threw the imperial edict to her disciples, walked over in surprise, looked up and down carefully, and kept praising.
"Brother Xi, you look so good in what you wear." Sai Xishi also smiled.
"Master, you are so majestic~" Defudu praised.
Xiang Nan laughed and took it off immediately.
"Hey, old man, why did you take off your clothes? Just keep them on." Hu Suhua said quickly when she saw this.
"Hey, this is not for you to wear, this is for you to offer." Xiang Nan said, "Madam folded it and offered it on the incense table together with the imperial edict.
Let me tell you, after it is placed on the altar table, no one is allowed to move around, let alone wear it out to show off. Otherwise, this will be a great disrespect to the emperor and your head will be lost."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
"Xi Langzhong is right, this imperial edict, even the yellow mantle cannot be tampered with." Prince Jing nodded, but he didn't expect Xiang Nan to know the rules.
…
The fact that Xiang Nan received the emperor's commendation and was awarded the yellow mantle quickly spread throughout the capital, causing a sensation in the whole city.
"Xilaile is truly a miracle doctor. He actually cured diseases that even the imperial doctors couldn't cure. It's really amazing~"
"I heard that Concubine Zhen was suffering from a serious disease, and all the imperial doctors were helpless. However, Xilaile only used three kinds of medicine to cure her illness. It's amazing!"
"Egg white mung bean soup and sliced white tofu actually cured my mother's illness. It's incredible. A miracle doctor, a miracle doctor!"
People all over the city, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, were spreading rumors about this matter. For a time, Xiang Nan's reputation became higher and higher, and his fame became bigger and bigger.
Naturally, this made the doctors at the Imperial Hospital dissatisfied.
"Empress Zhen's illness cannot be easily cured. We are just afraid of it if we don't take action. He Xilaile is too arrogant, as if he is the only one in the capital who can cure illnesses."
"We have served the Emperor and Queen Mother for so long, and we have cured many serious illnesses and minor illnesses. We have not even given him a yellow mantle, so why should he wear one?"
"Xilai Le doesn't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth. He acts wantonly and deceives the world and steals his reputation. He actually dares to claim to be a miracle doctor. What do you think of us imperial doctors?"
They all complained that this incident was really embarrassing to them.
Therefore, out of jealousy and hatred, they dropped all their children from Peide Medical School and stopped studying medicine with Xiang Nan, so as not to give him any more excuse to brag about his medical skills.
The imperial pharmacy in the palace also found fault with the pills produced by Yixiaotang and returned pills worth nearly one thousand taels.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan understood that although one Wang Tianhe had fallen, there would be countless more Wang Tianhe who would stand up.
Because this is a shortcoming of the system.
These imperial doctors are high up and hold great power. Even if their medical skills are not good and their medical ethics are not high, they can still occupy high positions and take advantage of all the dividends.
And as long as someone threatens them, they will immediately suppress them. Wang Tianhe is like this, Chen Guangbi is like this, no one is exception.
Just like what Guo Degang said, a group of crosstalk actors who can't speak crosstalk are getting into trouble on the stage, and suddenly a person who can speak crosstalk appears from under the stage. How can we live if we don't kill him?
…
After understanding this, Xiang Nan began to make plans to leave the capital.
But before leaving Beijing, he still had two things to do.
One is to help Defu marry Ruixin. Ruixin is Defu's beloved girl. Unless he takes her away, Defu will not be willing to leave. Then he will do something stupid again, such as sneaking back to the capital by himself.
The fate may be revealed.
One is that Sai Xishi hasn't given birth yet, and Xiang Nan has to wait for her to give birth to the baby and finish her confinement before going on the road. After all, these days' medical technology and transportation conditions are far behind modern times.
Pregnant women and newborn babies who have just given birth are weak and cannot withstand the hardships of traveling. Even if Xiang Nan is a miracle doctor, there is no guarantee that everything will be perfect.
Fortunately, he and Taiyin Hospital have not completely broken up yet, so there is still some buffering time.
…
Xiang Nan immediately approached Prince Jing.
"Your Majesty, most of the students at Peide Medical School have withdrawn." He was not in a hurry to mention the marriage proposal, but reported to Prince Jing first.
"What's going on?! There are so many withdrawals?" Prince Jing asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, those who quit are all the disciples from Taiyuan Hospital. They didn't say anything, they just said they didn't want to learn from me." Xiang Nan explained.
Prince Jing was stunned, "Why is this? At the beginning, weren't they the ones who were begging to learn?"
When Peide Medical School was recruiting students, many imperial doctors tried to find ways to use backdoor favors because their children were dismissed. But now they have all dropped out. It is really unreasonable.
"My lord, you are so wise, how can you not think of it?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The imperial hospital did not cure Concubine Zhen's disease, but I cured her.
Now the people in the whole city think they are useless and are touting me as a miracle doctor. If I were them, I would also have resentment in my heart."
"Hey, these bitches! When the emperor ordered them to treat Concubine Zhen, none of them dared." When Prince Jing heard this, he said angrily, "Now that I see you wearing the yellow mantle, I feel jealous again.
We really care about food but not fighting. Isn't Wang Tianhe's death enough to scare the monkeys?"
