The next morning, Shang Tiancheng brought his daughter to the palace.
Within the Jade Dawn Palace.
It was magnificent, and the golden wall gave birth to splendor.
On the rosewood folding bed, reclined a dignified and dignified woman. She was the most respected woman in the Southern Champion Kingdom, the current Empress.
"This humble subject pays his respects to the empress." The moment Shang Tiancheng saw Empress Chen, he immediately knelt down, and Shang Yiqing followed his father to kneel on the ground.
"Imperial Physician Shang, quickly rise." Empress Chen said in a kind tone with a warm smile on her face. However, her cheeks were red, which was unusual for a person with such a large amount of blood in them.
Shang Yiqing followed her father and got up. She stole a glance at Empress Chen and saw that she had a beautiful face with exquisite makeup, elegant makeup, and flawless skin. Inwardly, she couldn't help but sigh. No wonder the emperor had always pampered the empress. So she was actually this beautiful!
"This is?" Empress Chen glanced at Shang Yiqing and inquired softly.
Shang Tiancheng hurriedly replied, "This is this humble subject's daughter. She has followed me since childhood to study medicine and has some knowledge of it. This humble subject brought her here today to properly serve the Empress."
"So she's the daughter of Imperial Physician Shang. Raise your head and let me see." Queen Chen's voice was still gentle and kind.
Shang Yiqing slowly raised her head when she heard this. Although she didn't dare to look at the empress, she was deeply impressed by her motherly demeanor.
Empress Chen stared at Shang Yiqing for a while before smiling faintly. "Imperial Physician Shang, your daughter was born with a beautiful and refined body. I like it very much."
"The Empress is too kind." As Shang Tiancheng spoke, he turned to Shang Yiqing and scolded him softly, "Hurry up and thank the Empress."
"This humble one thanks the Empress for her praise!" Shang Yiqing lowered her head slightly.
"No need to be so polite."
Shang Tiancheng took a step forward and asked, "I don't know where esteemed wangfei is unwell, why don't you let this humble subject give you a pulse first."
"Actually, I only feel a slight chill." As Empress Chen spoke, a court lady came forward to help her lie down and put the pillow under her wrist.
Only then did Shang Tiancheng respectfully step forward and carefully check his pulse.
After a while of diagnosis, Shang Tiancheng's eyebrows finally calmed down. Then, he withdrew his hand and lowered his head as he replied, "In reply to esteemed empress, you only feel the chills occasionally. This humble subject will give you a few doses of the prescription that will make you sweat profusely.
Empress Chen smiled and nodded. "I knew everything was fine, but the emperor wasn't at ease. He had to call for an imperial physician. I'll be troubling you."
"The emperor has always doted on the Empress. Besides, this is something that this humble subject should do." Shang Tiancheng stood up and prepared to go down to get his medicine.
Shang Yiqing looked at the empress and suddenly said, "Wait, I have something to say."
"Oh, what do you have to say to me?" Empress Chen looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Shang Yiqing took a step forward and said, "To reply esteemed wangfei, this humble one has seen the esteemed lady's face turn red, so it should be a fever right now. When one is in a high fever, their body is extremely uncomfortable and needs to quickly let out the sweat. As long as they sweat, their fever will be reduced and they will no longer feel as uncomfortable. "
"I am indeed heating up. My four limbs are tired. The back of my neck is aching. My palms and feet are burning, but I am not sweating at all. I am feeling terrible." Empress Chen explained the illness to Shang Yiqing.
"This humble one has a method to make Empress Han sweat as quickly as possible. After that, you have to take care of the warmth and eat a few more cures. Your illness will soon completely recover."
Empress Chen's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Shang Tiancheng scolded his daughter in a low voice, "Don't speak carelessly in front of the Empress."
"Dad, I'm not spouting nonsense. My method is faster than you taking medicine." Shang Yiqing was very dissatisfied with her father's attitude, as if he didn't understand a thing about her.
"Imperial Physician Shang, since your daughter has a good method, why not let me hear it?" Empress Chen looked at Shang Yiqing amiably. She felt this little girl was rather interesting.
Shang Yiqing glanced at her father complacently and said in a clear voice, "Actually, this method is very simple. You only need to bathe yourself in hot water."
"Don't spout nonsense." Shang Tiancheng looked at Shang Yiqing in fear. While he had a certain understanding of his daughter's medical skills, this patient was the empress of this world. A slight mistake could cause his head to fall off!
Wasn't it just an ordinary fever? He could just use physical therapy. In ancient times, there weren't any viruses, so the simplest method was the most effective! Shang Yiqing saw the nervousness on her father's face and laughed inwardly. "Empress Chen, you can give it a try. This method must be effective!"
Empress Chen looked at Shang Yiqing in surprise. There was no trace of panic on her face. She seemed quite confident, but how could her words be effective?
"Please rest assured, Empress. This humble one can guarantee that after bathing, the Empress will definitely sweat all over and then retreat with a high fever!" Shang Yiqing answered affirmatively, her eyes showing her determination.
He had been practicing medicine for so many years, but he had never dared to make such a guarantee in the palace. Even if his medical skills were in the Imperial Palace, he was still renowned throughout the country. This little girl really does not know her limits. Thinking about this, Shang Tiancheng's forehead started to drip with cold sweat. He fearfully went up and said, "Empress, don't make my daughter talk nonsense. Please let this humble subject prepare a prescription to catch and consume medicine."
"I would like to try the method that Miss Shang suggested." Empress Chen pondered for a moment before she decisively smiled at Shang Tiancheng.
"The Empress is wise, the Empress is wise!" Shang Yiqing was proud as she glanced at Shang Tiancheng.
"Someone, come." Empress Chen ordered, "Prepare a hot bath for me."
"Empress, the temperature of the water cannot be too high. Furthermore, you cannot bathe for more than the time it takes to make a cup of tea." Shang Yiqing quickly explained the main point.
"Good, then all of you can leave for now. After I take a bath, you all can come see me again." Thus arranged by Empress Chen.
"This humble official will take his leave."
"This humble girl will take her leave."
At the same time, Shang Yiqing and her daughter left the inner hall. The moment they walked out of the inner hall, Shang Tiancheng angrily asked, "You made a vow in front of the empress that if it did not work, then we would have committed the crime of deceiving the monarch. How can we afford it?"
"Dad, don't worry. Nothing will happen to you!" Shang Yiqing patted her chest and said loudly.
