Chapter 3: Imperial Dr. Yen, Consort Gina and Consort Jie

After she quickly delivered the laundry basket, Yen looked at the red building that was situated in the central area. It was an extravagant palace, more refined than the east area. As of now, the crown prince's mother, Consort Jie, resided in the largest room in the inner palace. While the emperor lacks an empress, it can be said that Consort Jie with the only male child is the most influential person.

The spectacle she saw inside that place was not much different to what she saw in town. There was a scolding woman, a woman hanging her head in shame, flustered women, and a man who was acting as the mediator. The scolding woman was the inner palace's most influential person. The one looking down was the next powerful. The flustered ones were their maids. And the one who came to mediate was the doctor who was already no longer male. That was what she gleaned from the surrounding whispers.

"It's your fault. It's because you gave birth to a daughter that you wanted to curse the male infant to death, isn't that right!" Consort Jie's beautiful face was distorted to something terrifying. With her demonic looks and her ghostly white skin, the consort faced the beauty who was holding her cheek.

"You know it's impossible for me to do such a thing. Wuying is also suffering the same way." The woman with red hair and jade eyes replied coldly. Consort Gina with her western features gazed up at the doctor's face. "And so, I want you to see my daughter's condition as well," she said.

Although the doctor was acting as the mediator, it seems he was the reason for the outburst. The doctor had just seen crown prince it seems she had raised a protest about him not seeing her daughter. It wasn't that Yen didn't understand mothers, but it was a given that male infants came first in the hierarchy of the inner palace. Considering the doctor, she saw that he had a face that wanted to say 'unfounded' though.

Yen thought to herself, most doctors of this era are quacks. In her other lives' Yen could be considered a brilliant doctor as well. But then she realized that her experience outlives theirs but still thought it was dumb that he didn't notice with the two consorts standing so close to him. No, he doesn't seem to have noticed. She decided on something when left the Scene.
