Chapter 513: Lord Yan submits an impeachment memorial
When Yan Li'an raised his eyes again, his eyes were red.
"I wonder how much longer my mother will live?"
"Based on Madam Yan's current condition, it will take at most half a year," said Doctor Sun.
"I understand." Yan Li'an bowed to Doctor Sun and said, "Thank you for making this trip."
Doctor Sun waved his hand.
"As I should. If there is nothing else here, Lord Yan, I will take my leave."
Yan Li'an made a gesture of invitation.
"Take care, Doctor Sun." He then ordered, "Butler, please see Doctor Sun off for me."
While Aunt Xu was serving Old Madam Yan in the main house, she was also keeping an eye on what was happening in the side rooms.
Seeing Doctor Sun leave, he hurriedly lifted the curtain and left the room.
"Sir, what does the imperial physician say?"
Yan Li'an just shook his head and said nothing, but he didn't rush into the house, worried that his mother would notice his emotions.
Seeing this, Aunt Xu couldn't help but rub her eyes.
Stepping forward again, he whispered, "Sir, if Madam Xu hadn't come to her rescue in time, she would have been in grave danger. Before we left, she told me that if the doctor we found didn't improve her condition, if you and Madam trusted her, you could send someone to the Xu Mansion to look for her."
"I feel that no matter what happens, it can't be worse than the current situation. Why not try it out? If it works, maybe we can even snatch the old lady's life back from the hands of the King of Hell. What do you think?"
Yan Li'an thought about it and nodded.
"Tomorrow morning, go to the storehouse and pick out a generous gift. Then go to the Xu residence in person and express my sincere gratitude to Madam Xu for saving my life. Invite her to come home and see my mother."
When Aunt Xu saw that he agreed, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes."
The next morning, she picked out a set of moon-white Ru kiln tea sets and a set of treasured four treasures of the study from the warehouse, and then got on a carriage to Xu's house.
……
"Thank you, Madam Xu, for saving my old lady."
Aunt Xu pretended to kneel down, and seeing this, Song Yuntang hurriedly asked Jinshu to step forward and support her.
"No need to be so polite, Mammy."
Nanny Xu glanced at the two maids behind her and saw them presenting the thank-you gifts.
"I'm here to give Madam Xu a thank-you gift on behalf of my master. Yesterday, the master asked the imperial physician to examine her, and he said the situation wasn't optimistic. Thinking back to what Madam said yesterday, my master asked me to come and ask Madam if I could see our old lady."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Of course it's no problem."
As she spoke, she told Xia Ning to fetch the medicinal juice that she had spent an hour and a half boiling last night.
He turned to look at Aunt Xu.
"Madam, wait a moment. Once Xia Ning gets the medicine, I will go with you to the Yan residence."
Aunt Xu nodded quickly.
"Hey."
Before meeting the old lady, Madam Xu had already prepared the medicine. Could it be that she really has some solution?
Xia Ning brought a jar of medicine in a short while. Song Yuntang had already asked someone to prepare the carriage.
Just as he was about to go out, Xu Qingye suddenly came over from the backyard.
"Tang'er, I'll go with you."
Song Yuntang looked at him with a little surprise.
"You go..." Before he could finish his words, he nodded again, "Okay."
……
When they arrived at the Yan Mansion, Song Yuntang followed Nanny Xu to Old Madam Yan's courtyard, while Xu Qingye was taken to the study by Lord Yan.
"Madam, Madam Xu is here."
Old Madam Yan on the bed opened her eyes and nodded slightly towards Song Yuntang.
"Mrs. Xu, thank you for your help."
Song Yuntang's expression was gentle. "Madam Yan, you don't have to be polite. I will treat you first."
Seeing her nod, he stepped forward and took her wrist.
After confirming that Madam Yan's lung abscess had not damaged other internal organs, Song Yuntang turned around and took the bottle of medicine from Xia Ning.
"I specially asked my servant to find this medicine after I returned home yesterday. It took me an hour and a half to steam it for the old lady."
"Chop half a pound of iron-footed general grass rhizome into thin slices, add an appropriate amount of rice wine, and place it in a clay pot. Seal the pot with reed leaves and steam it over low heat for an hour and a half to make a soup."
Although Iron-footed General Grass is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, it was not used as a medicine to treat lung abscess in ancient times. According to the literature in the previous life, it was a secret recipe passed down by a quack doctor in modern times.
Song Yuntang picked up another porcelain spoon and looked in the direction of Aunt Xu.
"Take this spoonful as a guide. Take two full spoonfuls at a time, three times a day. You will cough up a large amount of foul-smelling pus and phlegm after taking it. This is normal pus discharge. In about seven days, the old lady's high fever will subside."
Aunt Xu took it from her.
"May I ask Madam Xu, how long should I take this medicine?"
Song Yuntang glanced in the direction of Old Madam Yan. "In Old Madam Yan's case, you should take the medicine continuously for a month. This jar contains enough for about seven or eight days. I'll write down the prescription later. If the medicine runs out, Madam, just continue to boil the medicine according to the method I wrote. When Old Madam Yan's condition improves, I'll change her recovery prescription."
Upon hearing that Madam Yan's illness could be completely cured, Aunt Xu was overjoyed.
"Thank you very much, Madam Xu."
……
After Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang left Yan's house, an impeachment letter was sent from Yan's house to the palace.
That afternoon, the emperor summoned five or six officials, including the Minister of Revenue Meng Xunzhou, the Vice Minister of Personnel Yu Zhiqiu, and the Vice Minister of Revenue Liu Bannong, to the palace and reprimanded them.
After the adults returned home, they immediately...
The eldest daughter of the Meng family was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for unknown reasons.
The young master of the Yu family molested common women many times, and was sent to the Dali Temple for reform by Lord Yu out of justice.
The mistress of the Liu family abused her concubines and poisoned the fetuses in her aunt's womb several times. She was sent back to her parents' home with a letter of divorce.
Some were even dismissed from their posts and investigated.
In the end, no official who entered the palace was spared.
This incident caused a huge stir at the end of the year, and almost everyone in the capital knew about it.
When Song Yuntang heard the rumor, he looked at Xu Qingye who was playing with the child with a rattle by the cradle.
"What did you do?"
The man shook his head.
"Isn't it about the memorial submitted by Lord Yan?"
Song Yuntang had a smile on his face.
"It's not such a coincidence, is it?"
The family members of the officials who were called into the palace were all those who had targeted her in the Prime Minister's Residence. Coincidentally, the day before yesterday, Xu Qingye accompanied her to the Yan Residence and spent some time alone with Lord Yan.
If it weren't for him, Lord Yan would be so busy with his daily affairs that he would not care about these trivial matters.
The man remained calm. Seeing his son stretching out his little hand to grab the rattle from his hand, he handed the rattle to him.
"The things Lord Yan impeached are all based on real evidence, not groundless rumors. I just handed the evidence I collected to him."
Song Yuntang was puzzled.
"How did you convince Lord Yan to help you submit an impeachment petition?"
Xu Qingye glanced in her direction.
"I said, you can cure Madam Yan's illness."
As soon as she came back, she asked people to prepare medicinal materials for making medicine. Xu Qingye knew this.
If she wasn't sure, she wouldn't do this.
Her family knew about her medical skills, but Lord Yan did not.
Seeing the doubt on Song Yuntang's face, the man continued speaking.
"He has heard something about the Princess of Le'an."
