After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 250 The Queen Mother’s Reward (2)

Under Yu Qingli's light or heavy massage, the empress dowager felt unprecedented comfort. She had been suffering from headaches for several years. Over the years, the imperial physicians had given her some prescriptions and even performed acupuncture for her, but there had never been much obvious effect.

Today, Yu Qingli's seemingly casual pressure made the empress dowager feel extremely comfortable.

Seeing the empress dowager's gradually relaxed expression, Yu Qingli felt relieved. In her previous life, in order to relieve Murong Feng's stress, she specially studied acupuncture and massage for several months. She didn't expect that it would come in handy at this time.

Yu Qingli pressed on the object and spoke softly, "Empress Dowager, it's not that Qingli is disrespectful, but the food in this palace has always been rich. Most of what you eat is greasy and nutritious. If you keep eating like this, your body will naturally not be able to handle it. Once your body can't handle these greasy foods, it will naturally cause insomnia, and insomnia is one of the root causes of headaches."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly. She now believed Yu Qingli's words completely. After all, in less than a cup of tea, Yu Qingli had cured her long-standing headache.

Yu Qingli stopped her fingers, stood respectfully with her hands behind her back, and listened to the Queen Mother's teachings.

A comfortable and satisfied smile graced the Empress Dowager's lips. "Your name is Qingli, right? You are indeed clever and considerate. How did you, a girl so young, learn so much about the art of medicine?"

Yu Qingli lowered her brows and said, "Your Majesty, I've been a bit lazy since I was little. I like to read all sorts of books, so all of this is what I read in books."

"Hahaha, you're really interesting, girl. I really like you. So, now that you've figured out the cause of my illness, do you have a solution?"

Yu Qingli just smiled without saying anything, her eyes sly, "Does the Queen Mother mean that she is ready to believe Qingli?"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly. "Why not tell me about it? The Imperial Physician will be here soon anyway, so I think it could be helpful."

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Yu Qingli felt even more confident. After all, the case still needed to be examined by the imperial physician, so there was nothing she was afraid to say.

"Since the Queen Mother trusts Qingli so much, Qingli will present her humble opinion. Qingli believes that in order to fundamentally solve the Queen Mother's headache problem, we should first start with her daily diet. We must strictly control the intake of meat and fish, and accordingly add more vegetarian food. In addition, it would be best if the Queen Mother could exercise a little every morning and evening."

"The diet is easy to solve. From today on, I won't eat meat. But what about exercise? I'm old and weak, how can I do any exercise?"

|

Yu Qingli smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, in fact, every action a person takes is exercise. For the Empress Dowager, just taking a walk in the morning and evening is enough."

"It's that simple?"

Yu Qingli nodded. "Things that seem simple are actually the most difficult. The important thing is to persevere. That's already a success. Qingli can guarantee that within half a month, the Queen Mother will be full of energy and will no longer be troubled by headaches."

"You're talking so much, are you just bragging?"

Murong Yuan was a little unconvinced, especially when she saw the Queen Mother's attitude suddenly change. She was even more unhappy. This was not acceptable! She absolutely could not let Yu Qingli become more prominent than herself. She was the only one who could be so domineering in the palace.

Yu Qingli ignored her. As long as the empress dowager believed her, it was enough. As for others, it didn't seem to make much difference whether they listened or not.

As they were talking, the palace maid who had gone to invite the imperial physician had already rushed back. With her came the most experienced imperial physician Zhang in the palace. He had been the one who treated the empress dowager's headaches recently.

Today, upon hearing that the Empress Dowager's headache had recurred, the imperial physician was extremely anxious. At this rate, the Empress Dowager's headaches would become more frequent, and the attacks would likely last longer and longer. The medicines used to suppress the pain were obviously no longer effective. It seemed that he had to prescribe some new medicine.

When Zhang, the imperial physician, arrived at the Cining Palace, he saw the empress dowager smiling and talking to a young woman with a rosy face, which was completely different from her usual appearance when she was sick. He was shocked.

Doctor Zhang stepped forward and bowed. "Your Majesty, I heard you were having a headache, but now it seems you're in perfect health. What's going on?"

The Queen Mother glanced at the Imperial Physician Zhang, clearly dissatisfied. "Hmph, by the time your Imperial Hospital staff arrives, I'm afraid I'll have already died of pain."

The old doctor's face was slightly embarrassed. He bowed respectfully and said guiltily, "The Queen Mother is absolutely right. It is our lack of talent and knowledge that has caused the Queen Mother to suffer from this headache for so long. Recently, we have been diligently researching the Queen Mother's condition, hoping to help her recover as soon as possible."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Forget it. You people in the Imperial Hospital are just undeserved reputations. You have been treating patients for so long and there is no effect at all. You are worse than a little girl who just entered the palace today."

Doctor Zhang was a little confused, and Murong Yuan beside him said, "Doctor Zhang, if you don't show some of your best skills, I'm afraid your job will be taken away by someone else!"

Doctor Zhang was astonished. "Your Majesty, you mean someone has relieved your headache? I wonder where this expert in medicine is. I'd love to learn a thing or two from him."

"Qingli girl, since the imperial physician Zhang wants to ask for your advice, you should tell him exactly how you cured my headache."

With the Empress Dowager's order, Yu Qingli stepped forward and humbly said, "I don't deserve your guidance. It was just a coincidence that Qingli was able to relieve the Empress Dowager's pain. When it comes to medical skills, how can Qingli compare to the masters of the Imperial Hospital?"

Doctor Zhang looked humble on the surface, but he was secretly thinking, who knows where this woman came from. She was just a blind cat that stumbled upon a dead mouse and accidentally cured the empress dowager's headache. How dare she show off in front of him?

"Excuse me, who is this girl..."

Doctor Zhang stepped forward and asked, with a hint of disdain clearly in his eyes.

Yu Qingli smiled gently, "Doctor Zhang, I am the eldest prince's consort Yu Qingli."

Doctor Zhang was a little surprised. Rumors about the eldest prince's wife had been circulating for a long time. She was said to be the most talented woman in Jiangnan, but no one knew that this woman was also proficient in the art of medicine. Or perhaps, was this a trick to please the empress dowager?

While Doctor Zhang was trying to guess what Yu Qingli was thinking, Yu Qingli asked, "Doctor Zhang, could you please show me the prescription you've been giving the Queen Mother?"

Doctor Zhang paused, his expression looking a little ugly. Everyone knew that for a doctor, prescriptions were the foundation of his survival, and even his own apprentices only taught him the most basic things.

However, the problem can no longer be solved whether Doctor Zhang is willing or not. After Yu Qingli made this request, the Queen Mother kept staring at Doctor Zhang, which made him feel creepy.

It’s just a prescription, just give it to her!

Doctor Zhang calmed himself down, and the Empress Dowager had someone prepare pen and ink. They quickly wrote down the daily prescription. Yu Qingli took the prescription, looked at it carefully, and then said, "You are truly worthy of being a master of the Imperial Hospital. This prescription is very precise, and the medicine is very appropriate..."

Imperial Physician Zhang was extremely proud. The prescriptions he wrote were highly praised not only by the princess who knew very little about the medicine, but also by his colleagues in the Imperial Hospital. Of course, there was nothing wrong with them and they were perfect.

"but……"

Yu Qingli's tone changed, causing Doctor Zhang's originally proud smile to freeze on his face, and his tone became stiff, "Does the princess have any advice?"

"Doctor Zhang, although this prescription is well-written, it has no effect on the Empress Dowager's illness. What's worse, the several tonic herbs in it will only have the opposite effect."

Doctor Zhang's old face was already red at this time. He could tolerate others questioning his medical skills, but such criticism was like a slap in the face.

Therefore, as soon as Yu Qingli said this, Doctor Zhang knelt down in front of the Queen Mother with a plop, "Please allow me to retire and return home!"

Before the Queen Mother could even speak, Yu Qingli smiled and said, "Doctor Zhang may not be overreacting. Qingli is simply expressing her thoughts. The art of medicine is vast and profound. Even for the same ailment, different doctors will have different treatments. If Doctor Zhang were to retire and return home just because of a difference of opinion, wouldn't that be a disservice to all the hard work he put into studying?"

An old man in his fifties was comforted in this way by a girl who was only in her teens. Doctor Zhang really felt ashamed.

"Hahaha!"

The Queen Mother suddenly burst into laughter and seemed to be in a good mood. This prince's wife was indeed very interesting. Compared with those rigid concubines in the palace, this woman seemed very courageous.

"Grandmother?"

Murong Feng looked at the Queen Mother with some confusion. In his memory, he had not heard the Empress Dowager laugh so loudly for a long time.

The Queen Mother stopped laughing and said sternly, "Come here, bring me my Nine Phoenix Golden Hairpin!"

A personal palace maid quickly entered the inner hall and came out a moment later with a brocade box. The box was pitch black, but crystal clear and dazzling. It looked like it was made of high-quality jade.

As soon as this thing was taken out, Murong Yuan's eyes widened. She had been with the empress dowager for many years and naturally knew the Nine Phoenix Golden Hairpin. She heard that the empress dowager had taken the initiative to ask for this golden hairpin, but the empress dowager was reluctant to give it to her. Why was she taking it out now?

"Yu Qingli, today you have cured me of my headache. I am very happy. Today I give you this Nine Phoenix Golden Hairpin as a gift. In addition, from today on, I order you to come to the palace every day to talk with me."

Yu Qingli lowered her brows and said, "Yes, Queen Mother!"
