Chapter 1081: Chapter 1075: Predicament

Jisheng Hall again, and linked to Gu Youyou?

The Empress was so angry she was about to explode.

"You never learn your lesson, do you?"

King Jin hastily smiled and said to the Empress: "Your son was in a hurry, isn’t Jisheng Hall ready at hand? For instance, Searcy from Beijing’s Jisheng Hall has never married, and the doctor in charge of the Lingnan Jisheng Hall is said to be a woman too. Unlucky though, as I’ve heard, she jinxed her husband to death on their wedding day. And there’s also a female doctor in Yangguan City’s Jisheng Hall, the daughter of the head of the family."

"All from Jisheng Hall?" The Empress’s face darkened further.

But King Jin whispered, "The female doctors from Jisheng Hall are skilled in medical arts, especially Searcy, who is said to be even better than Gu Youyou. Gu Youyou used to be ill, and she couldn’t cure herself for the longest time; it was Searcy who finally healed her.

Moreover, during that previous flood disaster, many caught tuberculosis. Before Gu Youyou arrived, it was Searcy who treated them. Gu Youyou just happened to arrive at the right time and took credit for Searcy’s work, making it seem as though she was the one who cured them. Searcy is not lacking in comparison to Gu Youyou at all; her only downside is that she’s not the boss, so she can’t make the decisions."

Hearing King Jin’s praise of Searcy, the Empress gradually became interested as well.

She had heard bad things about Gu Youyou, that her medical skills were actually not that good, and that her own life was saved by another female doctor. If her son really brought this female doctor home and opened another medical clinic to compete with Gu Youyou, then Gu Youyou’s myth as a Divine Doctor would crumble on its own. She would just be a charlatan, a thief stealing others’ credit.

With these thoughts, the Empress became agitated.

"Is that so?" she asked.

"Of course it’s true, Mother. Not only do I know of this, but also the common folks in the disaster-stricken areas."

"How outrageous!" The Empress slammed her armrest and asked, "Who is this female doctor? Why is her name so peculiar?"

King Jin shook his head and said, "I’m not quite clear on the details. I’ve heard that after Gu Youyou returned to the Lin Family from Qi Mountain, she brought Searcy with her. Searcy’s identity was that of a doctor accompanying her, but she was driven away by Madam Lin after committing some mistake, and has since been in Jisheng Hall."

"Searcy!" The Empress narrowed her eyes, thought it over carefully, and said, "If that’s the case, then I will take this worry off your shoulders. You go back first, and I will inform you once there is news."

If this female doctor has such superior medical skills, even if her son is sick, she could probably cure him.

She felt this was not a bad idea, comparing it with the prophecy of the beggar, she thought it would be much more reliable for her son to bring home a concubine with high medical skills, who could quietly cure his illness.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. If the female doctor secretly cured her son’s illness, both reputation and face would be preserved, which is better than having an Imperial Physician treat him, right?

King Jin was overjoyed and felt like jumping up. He happily thanked her for her grace.

"Thank you, Mother!"

The Empress returned to Kunning Palace and then remembered the three young ladies she had left out in the cold all day.

Their affairs were not settled, causing the Empress a headache.

She dispatched Nanny Li to handle this matter.

"Go tell them to go back first, the timing is not right, we’ll talk about it in a few days."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Empress!"

"Ah, wait!" The Empress stopped Nanny Li again.

"Does Your Majesty the Empress have any further commands?"

The Empress said, "Go and investigate a person as soon as possible, a female doctor from Jisheng Hall named Searcy. See what her background is."

For the sake of her eldest grandson, she could tolerate King Jin marrying a female doctor, but she could not tolerate the doctor being someone with an unclear background.

Someone of unknown origins carries too many uncertainties. What if she turned out to be an enemy and harmed her precious son?
