Malignant in thought, ruthless in method.
Yun Jinnian had thought she would be full of rage, but unexpectedly, she was very composed, and there was no destructive fury in her heart.
There was only a growing ferocity.
She would not let him off!
"Sorry, I have nothing to teach you, gentlemen, nor do I have the time to discuss with you," said Yun Jinnian, making her way to leave.
She would rather go back to sleep than engage in pointless chatter with these people.
The head of the Imperial Medical Bureau hadn’t expected that Yun Jinnian, despite her young age, would have the same temperament as Han Xuzi, uncontrollable and untamed, daring to offend the entire Imperial Medical Bureau.
"Miss Yun is so loftily proud, a waste of a doctor!"
In his panic, the head of the Bureau shouted out.
Yun Jinnian stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, turned her head to look at the Bureau chief, and said word by word, "I heard that the head of the Bureau has a Medical Book at home that has been passed down from ancestors, and all of his medical skills come from this book. If the head is willing to take out this Medical Book and discuss it with the gentlemen, then I’d be willing to share all I know without reservation!"
The head of the Bureau was furious.
That medical expertise was the Pan family’s heirloom, meant only for the legitimate eldest son of the main line.
"Head of the Bureau, ’do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.’ Remember this well. Although I am young, I was brought into the Imperial Palace by the Empress’s Phoenix Carriage to detoxify the Emperor, and when the Emperor was unconscious, the whole Imperial Medical Bureau was at a loss, but I, despite my young age, managed to awaken the Emperor. I hope you won’t belittle me just because I am young and easy to deceive. If you push me too hard, I will complain to Her Majesty the Empress and His Majesty the Emperor and make sure you won’t get away with it!"
After saying this, Yun Jinnian snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves, and left.
The head of the Bureau stood there, his complexion turning from red to gradually pale.
The other Imperial Physicians behind him were silent, also understanding the head’s malicious intent.
He wanted to extract Yun Jinnian’s medical expertise, but she turned the tables on him. If Yun Jinnian really made a fuss, not only the head, but all of them would not be able to escape unscathed.
Just as they were about to leave, they saw Hemei the eunuch standing to the side with two little eunuchs, looking at them with a smile that wasn’t a smile.
"The Emperor decrees that Pan Kai must immediately present his family’s Medical Books for thorough discussion with all the Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau, by imperial grace!" Having said this, Hemei turned and entered Yangxin Hall.
The head of the Bureau was so shocked that his face turned white, and he fell to his knees on the ground.
Only then did he understand the meaning of Yun Jinnian’s words ’do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.’
He knew Yun Jinnian was exceptionally skilled in medicine and wanted to pry into her expertise, thinking that she, being young, would find it hard to refuse a high hat placed on her head.
But unexpectedly, Yun Jinnian immediately opposed it, and her words were so sharp that she left him no way out.
It must have been that the Emperor heard his conversation with Yun Jinnian, which is why he sent Hemei with the decree.
Hoping the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau would plead on his behalf, he turned to find they had left long ago, moving away rapidly.
Fearing they might be dragged down by him.
Now he could only hope that the Prince would plead for him, or that the Noble Consort would help him out in recognition of his loyal service!
Yun Jinnian returned to Weiyang Palace to hear that the Empress was taking a nap, so she went back to her side hall, tidied up a bit, had something to eat, and then lay down on the bed. "Hemei, let me nap for a while. Call me in half an hour!"
Little did she know, her reputation for angrily confronting the head of the Bureau outside Yangxin Hall, showing no respect for her elders and being sharp-tongued, had already spread throughout the Imperial Palace...
