Chapter 494: A Family Fights
Su Lingyue followed the servant to the main hall of Li's mansion.
The hall is bright and spacious, with a complete set of pear wood carved tables and chairs with delicate floral and bird patterns. There are several porcelain vases on the shelves against the wall. There are no other decorations, making it simple and elegant.
However, the atmosphere in the hall seemed not to be good.
The maids stood outside the hall with their heads hung, not daring to breathe.
Li Yi was wearing a navy blue robe, looking solemn, and sitting in the main seat with a frown on his face.
Su Lingyue came in, followed by a maid, a female guard with a sword, and a woman carrying a medicine box.
Su Lingyue is here to add insult to injury.
Li Yi's brows furrowed even tighter and his eyes turned colder.
He stood up and took two steps forward. Without any greeting, he stood with his hands behind his back and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what brings you here, Princess?"
Before she got married, her elder sister-in-law Li Qingyuan had never treated her harshly in the Dingguo Mansion. She had no hostility towards Li Yi and Su Lingyue.
Su Lingyue originally wanted to win him over, but judging from the situation, Li Yi was very hostile towards her.
Thinking that the servant had not conveyed the message, Su Lingyue said, "Uncle Li, I heard about Master Li's condition, so I brought a doctor here to check on Master Li's injuries."
"Doctor?" Li Yi glanced around and landed on the childish Ling Ling, mocking her: "If the princess wants to see the joke of my Li Mansion, just say so directly. Why go to all the trouble of bringing a yellow-haired girl to humiliate me!"
Ever since Su Lingyue married into Prince Su's mansion, the Li family had never interacted with her again. Even when Su Lingyue personally sent the invitation to Xiao Yu's 25th birthday party, he did not go.
He didn't believe that Su Lingyue and Xiao Yu had no grudges in their hearts.
When Ling Ling heard someone calling her a yellow-haired girl, she was instantly unhappy. She glared with her big eyes, and her round face was full of dissatisfaction. "You old man, how can you be so ungrateful! If Sister Yue hadn't lent me here, I wouldn't have come even if you had carried a sedan chair to invite me! And my hair is well maintained, like satin, how can it be yellowed there!"
Su Lingyue patted her shoulder, signaling her not to get excited. Ling Ling then rolled her eyes at Li Yi and turned her head away.
Su Lingyue looked at Li Yi, laid out the current situation, and said frankly: "Uncle Li, she is not the only doctor. I also know some medical skills and will work with her. My sister-in-law never treated me harshly in the mansion before, and I am grateful in my heart, so I came here. As for medical skills, most doctors in the capital are not as good as us."
"As for the humiliation you mentioned, it's totally unnecessary. There are countless people talking about the Li Mansion outside now."
"Moreover, Master Li didn't feel anything after being beaten like this, and the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital couldn't find out what was wrong. Uncle Li, don't you find it strange? Don't you want to find out more?"
Li Yi's eyes darkened and he looked at Su Lingyue with scrutiny.
Her face was calm and her eyes were clear, without a trace of impurities.
What Su Lingyue had just said coincided with Li Yi's thoughts, but the imperial physician sent by the emperor was here, and he didn't want to offend the emperor.
Looking at Su Lingyue, she is of noble status and perhaps she has come at the right time.
Glancing at Ling Ling, Li Yi cupped his hands and said, "If the princess can cure my son, Li Yi is willing to give all his wealth to repay the princess."
Seeing that Li Yi had put such a heavy hat on her, Su Lingyue said, "Uncle Li, you should know that Mr. Li's injury is the most difficult to treat. We will do our best."
After a moment of silence, Li Yi bowed and said, "Thank you."

As soon as she entered Li Xiaoyun's yard, Su Lingyue heard a burst of crying and comforting voices. Outside the house, Li Yi's wife Liu was crying inconsolably, Li Qingyuan was comforting her, and the other two concubines were watching with different looks with their children.
One of them was a woman in her thirties with a son in his teens, and the other was a young and beautiful woman in her twenties with a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, who were seven or eight years old.
Su Lingyue remembered that she heard that the girl was redeemed by Li Yi from the brothel before she left the palace.
With her legitimate son becoming like this and now having two illegitimate sons, one can imagine how painful Liu's heart was.
The beautiful concubine was the first to see Li Yi and Su Lingyue and called out, "Master."
Hearing the voice, Li Qingyuan turned around and saw Su Lingyue walking towards here with her father.
"Yue'er, why are you here?" Li Qingyuan supported Liu and asked puzzledly.
Li Qingyuan and Jiapin Li Qingfeng are two years apart in age. Both sisters took after Liu, with skin as white as snow, bright eyes and white teeth. Jiapin is more cold, while Li Qingyuan gives people a more gentle feeling.
She was wearing a white skirt today, with a purple-blue long coat with narrow sleeves on the outside, which was what she usually wore at home. It seemed that she rushed back as soon as she heard the news and did not even have time to change her clothes.
Su Lingyue repeated her purpose of coming.
Liu looked at Ling Ling with hesitation in her eyes, but because of Su Lingyue's identity, she didn't know what to say.
"Yue'er, are you sure?" Li Qingyuan saw the worry in her mother's eyes. Although she knew that Su Lingyue had no bad intentions, she had no idea when Su Lingyue had learned medical skills.
Su Lingyue stepped forward and held Li Qingyuan's hand, comforting her: "She and I will do our best, and Doctor Zhang is still in there. If we make any mistakes, he will be able to see it at a glance."
Li Qingyuan and Li Yi looked at each other, Li Yi nodded, and then Li Qingyuan shook Su Lingyue's hand and said, "Yue'er, Ayun is in your hands."
Her tone was sincere and pleading.
Li Yi knocked on the bedroom door. As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of blood hit him in the face.
"How?" Li Yi asked.
The servant replied, "Doctor Zhang has cleaned the young master's wound and is applying medicine."
Applying medicine now would affect their inspection of the wound, so she went in immediately, followed by Ling Ling, while Caiyi and Li Jing were waiting at the door.
*
Su Lingyue and Li Yi entered the room together.
Seeing Su Lingyue, Doctor Zhang was shocked, but then he realized what he was doing and stopped and asked, "What is this?"
Li Yi told Imperial Doctor Zhang about Su Lingyue's purpose. Imperial Doctor Zhang was surprised. He did not expect that Prince Su and his wife would get involved in this matter.
If Su Lingyue noticed anything unusual, this matter would be troublesome.
Before this, the emperor gave medicine to Xiao Yu, and the following few times were delivered by Doctor Zhang. He had met Su Lingyue several times, especially the time when the emperor personally came. He had witnessed Su Lingyue's intelligence and knew that she was not an ordinary woman in the boudoir.
His eyes turned, and Doctor Zhang said, "Princess, this is Master Li's bedroom after all. It's not a good idea for you to come here. Does the prince mind?"
It turns out that he wanted to use his fame to pressure her.
But let alone the fact that there was not a single spot of healthy skin on Li Xiaoyun's body, even if she was healthy, she would not ignore the distinction between men and women.
Su Lingyue looked at Li Yi and pointed at the boy who opened the door. "Uncle Li, what Doctor Zhang said makes sense. Let him help me. If there is anything inconvenient, let him come."
Li Yi understood and said, "Of course, no problem. He happens to be my son's personal servant, so it's most appropriate for him to help."
The servant also responded at the right time: "I will obey your orders, Princess."
Su Lingyue looked at Doctor Zhang again and raised her lips and said, "Doctor Zhang, you used to personally deliver the medicine given by His Majesty. The prince always misses you. Please come to visit the mansion when you are free!"
Doctor Zhang was stunned for a while before he smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will go when I am free."
That's all! They're all family members fighting each other, why should he get involved?
Su Xiang's daughter insisted on coming here, so what else could he do? Su Heng would never take his life like this!
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame him for being too obvious!
He took a step back to make room for Su Lingyue, and Doctor Zhang's apprentice also wisely retreated to the corner with his head down.
Li Xiaoyun was lying naked on the bed, but his back and buttocks were already covered with flesh, and the original skin on his body could not be seen. Only his arms and legs still had some intact skin.
Perhaps because it was too painful, he was groaning in a daze.
This look was much more miserable than the twenty or so strokes of the cane she had received.
Without further delay, Su Lingyue and Ling Ling began to take Li Xiaoyun's pulse and check his wounds.
Su Lingyue inserted a silver needle into an acupuncture point one inch away from Li Xiaoyun's spine. After probing a little bit, she finally found out where the spine was broken.
After a series of examinations, Ling Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead, pulled Su Lingyue to the corner, and said in a low voice: "He was poisoned. This poison is called Turach, which is unique to the Xiongnu. As long as it is not excessive, it will not kill people, but will make the body unconscious. My grandmother once got some of it to treat someone, and that person's pulse and symptoms were the same as his."
"Do you know how to poison someone?"
"Quench it on a silver needle and pierce the area you want to paralyze. It will take effect in half an hour. Judging from the extent of his injury, he must have been pierced with at least ten needles."
It is impossible for Li Xiaoyun not to feel it after being stabbed with so many needles. Maybe Li Xiaoyun knows what this person looks like.
"Don't spread this matter first, so as not to alert the enemy. I will talk to the Li family."
According to Doctor Zhang's medical skills, he should be able to tell the difference in Li Xiaoyun's pulse, but he didn't say it, obviously deliberately concealing it.
Moreover, a bed that is too soft is not conducive to the recovery of patients with fractures. Doctor Zhang also knew this, but he did not tell the Li family.
Su Lingyue had a guess in her mind that Doctor Zhang was her father's man.
If that's the case, everything can be explained.
Doctor Zhang cannot stay here, otherwise, it will be questionable whether Li Xiaoyun can save his life.
Su Lingyue didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Doctor Zhang, you must have something special to be able to hold the position of Vice Director of the Imperial Hospital, but I guess you are not good at internal injuries. I will ask Lord Li to tell the emperor personally that he has found a doctor who specializes in internal injuries."
Doctor Zhang is a really hard person to understand, and Su Lingyue can't tell whether he is a good person or a bad person.
He was indeed an accomplice to the evil, but when the emperor came to Prince Su's mansion to embarrass Xiao Yu, he actually helped him secretly.
This time, just consider it as repaying his help.
Doctor Zhang naturally understood Su Lingyue's meaning and knew that she was going to let him go, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, Princess."
After saying this, he left behind the medicine he brought from the palace and went away.
