Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 249 Little Doctor

Yun Fuling frowned, but didn't say anything more.

After a while, the palace maids came in with hot water, towels, green salt and other toiletries.

After Yun Fuling washed up, she went directly to Empress Dowager Cui's bedroom.

When Sang Tao saw her coming, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

Yun Fuling asked, "How is the Empress Dowager?"

Sang Tao: "The queen is still asleep."

Empress Dowager Cui had a restless sleep last night because of Yun Fuling's torment.

I didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

Yun Fuling understood, no wonder no one came to call her.

"Then I will go to the Imperial Pharmacy first to see what medicine the Empress Dowager will take today."

Sang Tao had witnessed Yun Fuling's power yesterday, so naturally he had no objection.

Yun Fuling then went to the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy openly.

Although she had been to the palace so many times, she had never been to the Imperial Hospital or the Imperial Pharmacy.

The Imperial Medical Service was closer, so Yun Fuling went there first.

Nowadays, Yun Fuling is considered a famous doctor in the capital. In addition to the halo of her identities as Princess Yi and heir of the Yun family, and her good relations with Ouyang Ming, Zhong Hui and others, even if there are still people in the Imperial Hospital who do not submit to her, no one dares to make things difficult for her.

Besides, everyone in the palace knew that Yun Fuling was now attending to Empress Dowager Cui in Shoukang Palace, so once Yun Fuling brought up Empress Dowager Cui, no one in the Imperial Hospital dared to stop her.

Yun Fuling visited the Imperial Medical Service, greeted the imperial physicians she knew, and after helping to review a few prescriptions, she went to the Imperial Pharmacy.

Unexpectedly, when he was almost at the Imperial Pharmacy, he suddenly heard a burst of scolding.

"You are just a small doctor, not even a medical assistant. What qualifications do you have to diagnose and prescribe medicine for the nobles in the palace?"

"How dare you secretly make medicine? Who gave you the courage?"

"If there is any problem with this medicine, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

Just by listening to the tone of voice, one can hear the arrogance in it.

This is not surprising, as this world has strict class hierarchies.

Even a small imperial hospital was divided into different levels.

The head of the Imperial Medical Service is the Director, a third-rank official, currently held by Ouyang Ming.

Generally speaking, the Yuanzheng only serves His Majesty and the Empress Dowager. Except for some extremely favored people or those who have a close personal relationship with the Ouyang family, it is difficult to invite the Yuanzheng to see patients.

Under the Yuanzheng, there is a left court judge and a right court judge, both of whom are of the fourth rank.

The Zuoyuanpan and Youyuanpan were equivalent to deputy directors of the Imperial Medical Service, assisting the director in managing all affairs of the Imperial Medical Service.

Next is the imperial physician, who is responsible for the medical care of concubines and senior officials in the palace and is equivalent to a chief physician.

Below the imperial physician is the medical officer, who is equivalent to an ordinary doctor and is responsible for treating low-ranking concubines and minor officials of the sixth and seventh ranks.

Below the medical officers are the physicians.

Doctors were generally selected from various places, or recommended by others to join the Imperial Medical Service.

Because they were new to the hospital, they were usually assigned to assist the imperial physicians and medical assistants, a bit like interns in a hospital.

Only after accumulating a certain amount of experience and passing the assessment can one be promoted to a medical officer.

Doctors in the Imperial Medical Service were not qualified to prescribe medicine independently.

To some extent, these clearly defined hierarchies have caused some doctors to forget their original intentions and become obsessed with gaining official positions, only thinking about climbing up the ladder.

Yun Fuling was sighing inwardly when she heard a clear male voice explaining, "When I was outside the palace, I was already able to sit in the clinic and prescribe medicine for patients."

"I felt sorry for that talented lady, who had been ill for a long time and had no favors, and had no money to bribe her, so I asked the imperial physician to treat her. That's why I treated her."

"I can guarantee with my life that this prescription is absolutely correct and can definitely cure that talented person's cough..."

Before he could finish his words, the man sneered.

"Ding Mingrui, this is in the palace, and everything must follow the rules!"

"So what if I'm a doctor outside the palace? Is that a big deal?"

"If you want to treat patients so badly, why don't you just leave the palace and continue to be a doctor!"

"If you want to stay in the Imperial Hospital, then just be a doctor and stop thinking about nonsense all day long."

"I'm telling you, don't be unconvinced. Everyone in this Imperial Hospital has worked their way up one level at a time."

"Unless you have great medical skills and win the favor of the nobles above, they will make an exception and promote you."

"Otherwise, you should just stay in the Imperial Hospital and be a good doctor."

"I am only taking care of you because I remember the kindness Yun Gansong showed me in the past."

"You were recommended by Yun Gansong, but now Yun Gansong is gone. If you don't keep a low profile, you will be kicked out sooner or later!"

As soon as Yun Fuling heard Yun Gansong's name, all the radars in her body were instantly turned on.

Yun Gansong was a man of some ability. Although he was kicked out of the Imperial Hospital, he still maintained his old network of contacts.

But why does the name "Ding Mingrui" sound so familiar?

After a while, the scolding disappeared, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually fading away.

Yun Fuling thought that the two men had left, so she came out from behind the bushes and went to the imperial pharmacy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came out, I met a handsome young man who looked very familiar.

It seemed as if a long-lost memory suddenly revived in her mind.

Yun Fuling suddenly remembered that it was no wonder that she felt that the name Ding Mingrui sounded familiar and the man in front of her also looked familiar.

Isn’t this the young doctor who fled the famine with them in Fengluo Mountain?

He was traveling with Yun Shanhu at that time.

This person was quite arrogant at first. When she was saving a child who was almost suffocated by a date pit stuck in his throat, Ding Mingrui and Yun Shanhu often mocked her in a sarcastic manner.

Later, Yun Fuling demonstrated her medical skills several times, which shocked him and he no longer dared to act arrogantly in front of her.

After they parted at Fengluo Mountain, Yun Fuling never saw him again.

I didn't expect that he would be admitted to the Imperial Hospital.

She remembered that Yun Shanhu called him "cousin", and thought that he was a relative of Yun Gansong's family. No wonder Yun Gansong helped and recommended him to the Imperial Hospital.

Yun Fuling thought for a while before recognizing Ding Mingrui.

Ding Mingrui recognized Yun Fuling at first sight.

When fleeing from famine in Fengluo Mountain, the medical skills displayed by Yun Fuling shocked and impressed him.

Soon after arriving in the capital, he often heard news about Yun Fuling, which made him unable to forget her.

In the past, Ding Mingrui was proud of his medical skills and even looked down on Yun Fuling.

But now, he was just a low-ranking doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau, not even qualified to take pulses or prescribe medicine.

However, Yun Fuling is already a well-known miracle doctor.

Now that they met again, Ding Mingrui couldn't help feeling ashamed for a moment.

What's more, the place where Yun Fuling just walked out made him realize that he was caught by Yun Fuling when he was scolded just now.

This made him feel even more embarrassed.

Ding Mingrui wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
