FSC [QT] Chapter 109.1

“Imperial Physician Wang, there is something I am curious about. Who treats the sick eunuchs and maids in the palace?”

The 12th and 25th of every month are the days when Wang Miao comes to the Marquis of Changping Mansion to teach Ah Wu.

Of course, it was not an honorable thing for the daughter of a marquis to study medicine, so the Marquis’ Mansion announced to the public that Imperial Physician Wang came to the mansion to diagnose the pulses of the female members of the family, and by the way, to help Ah Wu, who had been living away from home for many years, to recuperate.

During the class that day, after Ah Wu had identified the herbs brought by Wang Miao, she suddenly raised this question.

“When the eunuchs and maids in the palace get sick, they are usually handed over to the medical apprentices for practice. Of course, this is limited to servants who have a bit of face in front of their masters.”

Wang Miao did not doubt it. In his opinion, Ah Wu, who had been wandering outside for many years, should be curious about everything she came into contact with now.

In addition, Ah Wu was frightened by the eunuchs who suddenly broke into the banquet of the Marquis of Chengyi’s mansion to arrest people not long ago. It was not surprising that she suddenly inquired about the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

“What about the other eunuchs and palace maids who are not favored?”

Ah Wu frowned.

According to her father, her brother died in the second year after he entered the palace.

At that time, her brother was only six years old. It was unlikely that he would be assigned to the side of the masters of the various palaces.

He was not qualified to ask the imperial physician to diagnose him, and he was not even qualified to hire a medical apprentice.

Thinking of how her brother was trembling with fear and panic at that time, Ah Wu felt a pang of pain in her heart.

“That depends on their luck. If they are lucky, they can get through it. If they are unlucky, they may get infected with a contagious disease. They may be carried out of the palace on a mat and left to die.”

After saying this, Imperial Physician Wang realized that the person in front of him was a delicate little girl of eleven or twelve years old.

What he said was too realistic, so he added: “Of course, there are not so many unlucky servants in the palace.”

“Will the eunuchs and palace maids who are infected with serious diseases be recorded by the Imperial Hospital?”

Since they are infected with contagious serious diseases, they must have been diagnosed by the imperial physician or their apprentice. It didn’t make sense that the person around them would be the source of infection if someone was sick.

Ah Wu now placed her hope on the case history of the Imperial Hospital.

Wang Miao shook his head. So many people died in the palace every year, who would record an insignificant servant?

It was just like a normal person, would they record the number of ants they stepped on every day? The superiors didn’t think so, and the people who helped the superiors were not so idle.

“Then…”

Ah Wu almost asked directly. She wanted to ask Imperial Physician Wang about her Brother Yu Yan’s condition.

But now the situation in the palace was treacherous and changeable because the eunuch Yan Zhongying controlled the government, which made many people feel worse about eunuchs.

If Imperial Physician Wang knew the relationship between her and her brother, Yu Yan would suddenly have a sister who had transformed into a noble lady of the Marquis’s Mansion.

Without knowing which side of the power he was on, it was hard to predict whether it would be a blessing or a curse for her brother.

Even if Imperial Physician Wang behaved neutrally and harmlessly during these days, Ah Wu did not dare to gamble with her brother’s life.

Of course, all her thoughts were based on the assumption that Yu Yan was still alive. If Yu Yan was dead, all this would be just wishful thinking.

“That day, I saw a eunuch in the Marquis of Chengyi Mansion. He was wearing a sixth-rank flowery robe. He seemed to be a few years younger than my brother. How could he become the deputy eunuch at such a young age?”

Ah Wu asked indirectly. She was going to use the Deputy Eunuch Yan, who gave her a strange sense of familiarity, as a breakthrough point.

“Seventh Young Lady is too curious. Those people are not the objects that the Seventh Young Lady should be curious about.”

If she had just casually asked about the eunuchs and maids in the palace, Imperial Physician Wang would naturally not have thought that there was anything wrong.

But now that Ah Wu asked about Yu Yan by name, Imperial Physician Wang could no longer indulge Ah Wu’s curiosity.
