235 Imperial Dr. Yen 1

"Dad, I'm back" Rachel said slowly while sitting her bag down.

"Welcome Back, Yen" The old man with a cast on his leg smiled with a warm cup of tea in his hand.

In this World, Yen is an orphan when she was a baby when her village burned down and raided by bandits. Her adoptive father was a traveling doctor who rescued her, and she grew up traveling around the world with him. Until he settled down north in Yan State due to old age and an injury, where's Yen continued to move around.

The Story of this world is already finished the main leads are the current Emperor and Empress of Yan State/ Country depending on how you take it. Yen's adoptive Father is their mysterious ghost doctor, who the female lead had convinced to retire here. Rachel barely appeared by then and so never really met the lead couple for obvious reason.

The female lead had convinced her adoptive father to do some doctor things, pretty much. In case if your curious the female lead is a transmigrated person, and the world would be considered a story she read in the modern world.

Yep, that kind of troupe. 'I have been to so many Chinese novels, lately that its started to become annoying. And more then so, I haven't even made a dent in Soul fragments I'm still at 27.1%. Annoying.' Rachel thought annoyed.

"Ah, Yen, I'll be going into the palace. Would you please come with me" he said.

"Why?" Rachel said simply, when she looked up she noticed her Father had gained weight excessively. It looked like a fat eunuch, not that she was complaining, but the people here are really giving him special treatment. He lives not far from the palace and has special permission to go inside via a emblem.

Her adoptive Father is a very good Doctor especially for Ancient Times, this is due to his advantage in Knowledge of Foreign and Domestic Medicine and Herbs. But, his reputation as a ghost Doctor doesn't come from him. But, From her, Because in Ancient times women are looked down on, so most have always thought it was her adoptive Father's brilliance and not her.

"The things is, is that the Empress is pregnant and has been rather…." He started to say. Rachel pulled her hair back as she walked over to a mirror to wipe off her 'fake' freckles.

"So, you need me Diagnosis her." Rachel said lightly in thought. This world's story ends the moment The female lead became Empress, which was seven months ago. This is the after story and the female lead is currently pregnant. Even after the drama that doesn't mean it has ended, her guess was that the female lead was poisoned. The Emperor still has concubines, but, he won't accept anymore and has dismissed several thousand. He is currently sitting at twelve women in his courtyard.

And much to his minister's complaint he won't budge about it, not that they can do anything other then that.

But with more women comes more tricks, the Empress Dowager still lives and it weather or not. She has accepted the female lead is unknown. Since the story is over, realistically this ancient period with swallow a modern female lead if she can't adapt correctly.

And now that she is poisoned, she can only guess it was due to her carelessness.

"Ah, Yes, it would be easier with you." He said as he pointed and picked up a few things. "I am injured and cannot move around much anymore. So, can you…" he handed her the token and a letter in case if anyone asks.

Rachel sighed "Let me get cleaned up first." She was almost about to walk away when she looked back at Papa Smurf. "Dad, I'll be staying for a year before going out again. I Don't mind doing your job for you during this time. But it will be only for a year."

After Cleaning up Rachel tied the bell back into her hair to create a ponytail, this Bell came from her late parents that where burned down by the bandits that raided her village. She then went through her medicine bag and restocked with the supplies in the home. While her father was decently enjoying himself in the novels he was reading.

"I'm off" Rachel said as she walked out and headed towards the palace.

"Come back Safely" He waved goodbye before being immersed in his book.

Moments later.

"Halt." Said the guards after being momentarily stunned by her, Rachel clenched her teeth. She was walking around with her make-up on and her full natural looks are in bloom.

Rachel held up the Emperor's token while rolling her eyes. "I'm Imperial Doctor Hei's Adoptive Daughter Yen. I have come in his stead for the Treatment of Empress Duan Hanying. Here's a letter with the Imperials Doctors stamp as proof of Ident.i.ty.

May I ask, also ask one of you 'sirs' to guide me inside.

They checked her ident.i.ty, one lead her inside while the other went to inform the Emperor or his Superiors. However, this works she doesn't care.

Rachel hands held the unconscious female lead hand checking her pulse. The budge in her stomach was rather big, indicating she was a few months before giving birth. The maid servant is quietly standing in the back, without making any moves.

The female lead should have trustfully maidservants, but it seems they have been replaced with these ones. A Maidservant who is loyal to their mistress, will have some type of reaction but all the ones in here don't nor do they appear to care at what happens to her.

This could only mean that her original maidservants where replaced, Rachel's eyes dimmed with ridicule towards the female lead. The female Lead is a blind fool that is in love with the Emperor pf all things. Without the male lead's protection, she is nothing.

Opening her medicine bag she pulled out a few needles and dipped them in remedies she made. After a few minutes the Empress face's wasn't pale or deathly looking but rosy and full of life. Dully Rachel wiped her hand and looked at the maid servants.

"Grabbed buckets of clean water and wipe her body, she needs to be cleaned. I don't know how long she has been likes but, she should never have been left unclean or at least wiped especially since she was sick."

"…." They stared at her with defiant att.i.tudes.
