After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 890 - 885: Opposing

In Su Jin and Xie Jingchen’s view, finding Imperial Physician Wei should be an easy task.

But when the Hidden Guard went to ask the Prince to arrange a Hidden Guard to handle this matter, he found out that the Prince had once sent someone to find Imperial Physician Wei, but they could not find him.

Back then, Xie Jingchen was severely poisoned and could not wield martial arts, otherwise he would cough up blood.

The Prince searched for renowned doctors and offered bounties, but none could save Xie Jingchen. Imperial Physician Wei was once the best in the Imperial Hospital and after he resigned to return to his hometown, the Prince remembered him and sent someone to bring him to the Capital to treat Xie Jingchen.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t find him in his hometown.

Imperial Physician Wei had moved his whole family, and no one knew where they had gone.

Imperial Physician Wei resigned and returned to his hometown, but he wasn’t in his hometown; instead, he had moved away. This was truly beyond Su Jin and Xie Jingchen’s expectations.

Originally, they only thought Imperial Physician Wei’s resignation was a bit strange, but now it seems there is a significant issue.

This person must be found at any cost.

Just that back then, even when trying to cure Xie Jingchen, they couldn’t find Imperial Physician Wei. Now it would be even more difficult to find him.

In the vast sea of people, finding one person seems harder than climbing to the sky.

Su Jin found herself in a dilemma.

Xie Jingchen watched her.

Su Jin’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xie Jingchen’s lips curved into a slight smile, "Perhaps the Empress Dowager could help."

Su Jin: "..."

This isn’t a dream, is it?

Would the Empress Dowager help them?

But after Xie Jingchen spoke, Su Jin felt this man was really a fox.

Su Jin’s medical skills were exceptional, and everyone was curious about how she mastered such great medical expertise, far superior to the Imperial Physicians.

Who taught Su Jin medicine was a mystery.

But when Princess Duanhui’s tendons were severed, Su Jin couldn’t heal her.

Even though Princess Duanhui was punished to guard the Imperial Mausoleum by the Emperor, the Empress Dowager often sent doctors to treat her, and even Doctor Zhao had been several times.

If someone quietly told the Empress Dowager that Su Jin learned her medical skills from Imperial Physician Wei and only learned about seventy to eighty percent...

The possibility that Imperial Physician Wei could heal Princess Duanhui’s wrist would definitely result in the Empress Dowager issuing notices to summon Imperial Physician Wei to the Capital.

This would be the equivalent of finding Imperial Physician Wei effortlessly.

Su Jin is a Princess, the daughter of Marquis Dongxiang, the Princess Consort of Prince Zhenbei; the Empress Dowager couldn’t easily order her around, but Imperial Physician Wei was different.

Even if she knew Imperial Physician Wei was Su Jin’s mentor, once summoned by the Empress Dowager, he wouldn’t dare refuse, much less demand a hefty fee of ten thousand taels for a consultation.

For the Empress Dowager, she could use Imperial Physician Wei’s life to restrain Su Jin, as a mentor is like a father for life.

Then—

Su Jin would have an unseen mentor.

However, going through the Empress Dowager to find Imperial Physician Wei could firstly ensure Imperial Physician Wei’s safety, and secondly, avoid alerting the enemy.

But how to make the Empress Dowager believe that Imperial Physician Wei is indeed Su Jin’s mentor would require careful planning.

Two days later, Su Jin went to the palace to ask the Emperor for some rare herbs.

The Emperor said, "From now on, if you need any herbs, just go take them; no need to report it to your Father Emperor."

"Thank you, Father Emperor," Su Jin said.

"The pastry from last time was quite tasty; bring some more for your Father Emperor the next time you enter the palace."

"...Alright."

Just then, the Left Minister had entered the palace for a discussion with the Emperor, so Su Jin took Xingxing to pick the herbs.

The herbs that serve as tributes brought into the palace are certainly exceptional.

Su Jin picked a few, and Xingxing said, "Miss, there’s only two months and three days until the master’s birthday. Last year, you promised to congratulate him personally; can we still go this year?"

"I’m afraid we can’t," Su Jin said regretfully.

"If only the master could come to the Capital, he’d surely be proud to know you used the medical skills he taught to save the young master and so many others," Xingxing said.

"I don’t know why the master is so reluctant to come to the Capital," Su Jin said as she sniffed the herbs.

"Indeed, even though the Marquis has sent people to invite him several times, he just won’t come."

Speaking of which, Xingxing said, "Miss, there used to be an Imperial Physician Wei in the palace with superb medical skills, but he was unlucky, always breaking a leg or an arm, and had no choice but to resign and leave the Capital."

"Mr. Wei also has the surname Wei; could he be Imperial Physician Wei?"

"I even made a special inquiry, and Imperial Physician Wei was particularly fond of stewed pork knuckle...’

"Don’t make blind guesses," Su Jin gently rebuked.

"The master prefers a carefree life; why insist that he come to the Capital?"

"Even I, a princess, the Princess Consort of the Heir of Prince Zhenbei, am being ordered around by the Empress Dowager, let alone the master?"

Xingxing nodded repeatedly.

"You’re right, Miss. If the master were here, the Empress Dowager would certainly have him treat Princess Duanhui’s wrist," Xingxing said.

"I only have a forty percent chance of curing Princess Duanhui; I dare not try. I wonder if the master could?"

Su Jin returned the ginseng to the shelf and said, "Unfortunately, if I had two more years, I would surely learn all the master’s skills."

The two spoke softly, worried someone might overhear.

Outside the door, beneath the window, a little eunuch was hiding.

Upon hearing Su Jin’s words, he quickly ran to Yongning Palace like the wind.

The Empress Dowager was applying a poultice on her forehead.

Recently, life hadn’t been easy, causing frequent headaches and exhaustion.

The palace maid stepped forward, "Empress Dowager, the eunuch from the Treasure Medicine Room claims there’s an urgent matter to report to you."

Nanny Li commented, "What urgent matter could a little eunuch have to report to the Empress Dowager?"

"It’s said to be related to the Princess Consort of Prince Zhenbei," the palace maid replied.

The Empress Dowager lifted her eyelids, "Let him in."

The palace maid withdrew.

Before long, the little eunuch came in.

After paying respects to the Empress Dowager, he said, "Empress Dowager, just now, the Princess Consort of Prince Zhenbei went to fetch herbs. I hid outside the window and happened to overhear her talking with the maid."

Nanny Li curiously asked, "What did they say?"

The little eunuch reported everything he heard to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager’s face turned dark, and she squeezed out three words from between her teeth, "Imperial Physician Wei?"

Nanny Li looked at the Empress Dowager, "We’ve always wondered who taught the Princess Consort of Prince Zhenbei her extraordinary medical skills. We never expected it to be Imperial Physician Wei, who resigned years ago and returned home."

"The Princess Consort of Prince Zhenbei only learned seventy to eighty percent, yet she has a forty percent chance of curing Princess Duanhui. Surely, Imperial Physician Wei can heal Princess Duanhui’s wrist," the little eunuch eagerly added.

Princess Duanhui’s wrist was a constant worry for the Empress Dowager.

The little eunuch was rewarded for his report; the Empress Dowager had Nanny Li reward him with ten taels of gold.

The little eunuch was endlessly grateful.

After the little eunuch left, Nanny Li looked at the Empress Dowager, "Should we send someone to find Imperial Physician Wei?"

The Empress Dowager said, "Years ago, he resigned and returned home, unwilling to be the Dean, and now his excellent disciple opposes me at every turn."

"Sending someone to find him might not necessarily bring him to the Capital; taking his life is easy, but I want him to come to the Capital unharmed to heal Duanhui’s wrist."

"I have a headache; issue a notice to the world, summoning Imperial Physician Wei to the palace to treat me," the Empress Dowager’s voice was cold and frost-like.

A notice was posted to find Imperial Physician Wei and bring him to the Capital.

If Imperial Physician Wei didn’t respond to the notice, it would be considered defying an imperial decree, a crime punishable by death.

The Empress Dowager couldn’t do anything to Su Jin, but she could certainly handle a mere Imperial Physician.
