Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
But what if the Jiang family intends to overthrow the Emperor? The Emperor regarded the Empress Dowagers words as a mere metaphor, responding with a subtle smile.
Mother, if the Jiang family seeks my downfall, they would not resort to such
rumors, he rea.s.sured her.
The Empress Dowager persistently voiced her concerns, But what if the Jiang
Family aims to provoke us into harming Qin Zhenzhen out of anger?
Their concern likely stems from the fear that Qin Zhenzhen might disrupt their plans.
Perceiving his mothers continued uncertainty, the Emperor pressed for more information. She decided to reveal what Qin Zhenzhen had confided.
During my anger, I contemplated harming Jiang Fenglian first, which prompted Qin Zhenzhen to make those remarks..
This is a serious matter. She wouldnt casually make baseless accusations.
The knowledge she possesses has its roots in the Jiang family. Its plausible she discerned their tampering with the emperors food.
Your Majesty, do not overlook the restlessness of your Eighth Imperial Uncle and the Jiang familys reputation for intrigue.
The Emperor concealed his shock at this revelation.
When the Empress Dowager and the Emperor reappeared before the a.s.sembly, Imperial Concubine Jiang paled visibly upon seeing the Empress Dowagers expression.
Qin Zhenzhen, approach and examine the Emperors pulse.
Qin Zhenzhen stepped forward and, after a moment, released the Emperors hand.
I have diagnosed the Emperor with a deficiency of yang energy.
Physiologically, individuals with a deficiency of yang energy tend to be heat-p.r.o.ne and may also experience increased susceptibility to desires. The room fell silent as everyone absorbed Qin Zhenzhens audacious statements.
Qin Zhenzhens courage in speaking so boldly was undeniable.
The Emperors countenance darkened significantly, though Qin Zhenzhen remained resolute.
The Empress Dowager hadnt antic.i.p.ated such a diagnosis either, and her expression grew somber. If Qin Zhenzhens a.s.sessment proved accurate, it would be a significant blow to the group of imperial physicians.
Suppressing his anger, the Emperor fixed a piercing glare on Qin Zhenzhen.
Explain to me why individuals with a deficiency of yang energy tend to be inclined toward l.u.s.t.
He had every intention of exposing her deceit, and if she failed to provide a credible explanation, she would surely regret her words.
Unperturbed, Qin Zhenzhen responded calmly, People with a deficiency of yang energy experience a false sense of arousal.
Such individuals often exhibit faster heartbeats and elevated blood pressure, akin to hypertension. These are compensatory responses.
In simpler terms, those with a deficiency of yang energy may appear strong on the surface, but its a deceptive strength.
If one indulges these false sensations, their lifespan will significantly diminish.
The Emperors face flushed with embarra.s.sment. Qin Zhenzhens audacity seemed to know no bounds.
The other imperial physicians nodded in agreement, acknowledging the accuracy of Qin Zhenzhens explanation.
Upon the Empress Dowagers insistence, Imperial Physician Yang was tasked with examining the Emperors pulse.
After a moment, Imperial Physician Yang released the Emperors hand but hesitated, unsure whether to share his findings in front of the a.s.sembled audience, as it could potentially embarra.s.s the Emperor.
The Empress Dowager warned Imperial Physician Yang, If theres anything wrong with His Majestys body, no matter what, youre not allowed to hide it!
Those who intentionally conceal this will face severe consequences! The decree was clear and harsh.
Imperial Physician Yang had no recourse but to divulge the truth. Your Highness, it is indeed true that the Emperor has a deficiency of yang energy
The Empress Dowager erupted in fury. You, imperial physicians, are utterly incompetent! So many of you have attended to the Emperor, yet none of you noticed his deficiency of yang energy?
Imperial Physician Yang weakly defended himself, saying, I did hint at it to the Emperor once, but he did not take it seriously.
At that time, the Emperors condition was not particularly severe, so I prescribed a remedy without advising abstinence..
