Chapter 121 Desire for profit, Wen Shichu 13
As Wen Shichu continued to show his prowess in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he won the emperor's recognition and was close to the position of head of the hospital, Zhang Mi.
The Queen Mother and the Empress were deeply uneasy.
Zhang Mi was a man who had everything his own way. He obeyed the orders of the Empress Dowager, the Empress and the Emperor, but the same could not be said for Wen Shichu.
To them, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau cannot be someone who can only cure illnesses and save lives.
The Empress Dowager and the Queen knew very well how useful a capable head of the Imperial Medical Bureau was. If Zhang Mi had not been as obedient and sensible over the years, the Emperor's offspring would not have died out to this extent without leaving any trace.
On this day, the empress dowager was not feeling well. She rarely asked Zhang Mi to see a doctor, but instead found Wen Shichu.
The Queen Mother didn't intend to do anything, but as a superior, she simply wanted to warn the people under her to stay out of the spotlight.
When they arrived at Shoukang Palace, Wen Shichu took the patient's pulse normally and then left.
It's just a warning to the imperial physician, certainly not worthy of the Empress Dowager's approval.
It was Aunt Zhuxi, who was beside the Queen Mother, who gave the hint.
Since everyone in the Imperial Medical Bureau shares the same tongue, it should be possible for them to listen to the orders of only one person.
But how could Wen Shichu be willing to accept this?
Isn't the reason he works diligently to climb up the ladder just to stand higher and have fewer people oppressing him?
Zhang Mi is deeply trusted by the Empress Dowager and the Queen. Even if Wen Shichu surrenders to them now, he will never be able to get past Zhang Mi and can only be a "deputy" head of the academy.
Seeing that he had a chance to replace Zhang Mi, Wen Shichu was unwilling to be inferior to Zhang Mi.
He was willing to listen to Concubine Hua because she had given him so much.
As for the Queen Mother, she refused to pay a cent and only relied on her status to bully others.
In terms of the most honorable status, it should be the emperor, and the emperor promoted him to the position of vice-chancellor, which shows that he is satisfied with what he has done.
Although the Queen Mother did not say it directly, it was the same as asking him to curb his desire to climb up.
Wen Shichu is a man who cannot tolerate anything. If you kick him, it's like you've hit a solid wall.
But the reality was cruel. Facing Aunt Zhuxi's intimidating gaze, Wen Shichu could only bend his waist, say "yes" repeatedly, and slowly leave Shoukang Palace.
When I returned to the Imperial Hospital, I happened to run into Zhang Mi. He looked very friendly, like a kind elder caring about his juniors. "Shichu, how about going to check the Queen Mother's pulse?"
There are not so many coincidences without any reason. Zhang Mi has been waiting for Wen Shichu to come back for a long time.
Wen Shichu smiled falsely, "Dean Zhang is highly respected, and Aunt Zhuxi specifically told me to listen to you more."
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so who doesn't they know? Wen Shichu knows it, and Zhang Mi wishes he could give him the position of the head of the dean.
The kind smile on Zhang Mi's face froze. He thought that the Queen Mother had taken a fancy to Wen Shichu, a rising star, and wanted to win him over in advance, but after listening to Wen Shichu's words, it seemed that it was different from what he expected. The Queen Mother and the Queen were so used to him that they didn't want to replace him with someone else to do those troublesome things for them.
Unlike the Empress Dowager and the Queen, Zhang Mi was happy to see that Wen Shichu was gaining more and more attention from the Emperor.
As for money, Zhang Mi has already earned enough over the years, more than enough to last for several generations.
There is too much money to spend, but his descendants must also have the ability to spend it.
Zhang Mi was involved in many secrets of the harem. Seeing that the queen was not satisfied, she was promoted from an ordinary member of "Failure" to CEO, and wanted to continue to grow and become stronger, and her actions became more and more arrogant. Zhang Mi was often terrified, fearing that one day before retirement, something would be exposed.
If Wen Shichu was capable enough to replace him as the head of the academy, given the emperor's temper, he would definitely take his old age into consideration and order him to return home a few years earlier.
Therefore, the sooner Wen Shichu came to power, the happier Zhang Mi would be.
