"Madam Song!" Yuwen Ming exclaimed in alarm.
"Let her try. Since she claims to be a descendant of the Divine Doctor Han, she must have some skills!" Madam Song said as she stepped forward to remove the Commandery Princess’s shoes and socks.
Yun Jinnian quickly bled the Commandery Princess.
The blood that came from all ten fingers was dark and black. Yun Jinnian frowned and began to bleed the Commandery Princess’s toes, which were also dark and black.
The Commandery Princess was not only suffering from Chenke’s chronic condition, but she had also been poisoned.
And the poison had been in her body for many years. The sunstroke had caused a complete outbreak of the poison, which explained why in her previous life, the Commandery Princess had died before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Because not only was the poison difficult to neutralize, but the antidote was also hard to find. Even if a doctor were to come, how capable could a doctor be in a mere county town?
Bai Que also brought over a medicine box. Yun Jinnian took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Madam Song, "Dissolve one pill in a cup of tea!"
Madam Song took the pill and hurried off.
Yun Jinnian took a silver needle, preparing to pierce the Commandery Princess’s head with it, and Yuwen Ming hurriedly said, "Be careful, my grandmother is afraid of pain!"
Yun Jinnian glanced at Yuwen Ming and nodded slightly.
This Princess Xiaguang, who had not been particularly close to her during the years when she was the fifth prince’s wife and had not yet borne children, was always very respectful to her, even after she became the Empress.
She was a person who was both innately kind and extremely intelligent.
With each needle insertion, the Commandery Princess only let out a groan of "Oh". Yuwen Ming immediately stepped forward, calling out softly, "Grandmother, grandmother, my Ming sister, can you hear me?"
The Commandery Princess made a sound, then remained silent, her whole body in deep discomfort.
She had a dream in which she died in an inn in Huaixi County. She saw her children and grandchildren crying sorrowfully, and Ming, whom she had raised since childhood, fainting several times in front of her coffin.
In the dream, there were no doctors to save her, but right now, she seemed to sense a frail figure swaying before her eyes, carrying a hint of medicinal fragrance, faint yet extremely pleasant to smell.
Before coming to the Capital City, a sanctified monk had told her fortune: this visit to the Capital would bring a calamity, and if she overcame it, she would live a long life of a hundred years; if not, her lifespan would be complete.
Could it be that her destined benefactor was this very person swaying before her eyes?
Yun Jinnian stopped the bleeding on the Commandery Princess’s hands and feet and removed the silver needles. Madam Song had already dissolved the medicine and brought it over.
"Have the elder lady lie down, scoop up the medicine with a spoon, and feed her slowly. Do not move the elder lady for now!"
"Why?" asked Madam Song.
"The elder lady also has symptoms of a stroke; she must not be moved!"
Madam Song, willing to err on the side of caution, carefully spoon-fed the medicine to the Commandery Princess.
She had just risen to bow slightly to Yun Jinnian, who quickly returned the gesture.
"Thank you, young lady!"
"It’s good that Madam Song doesn’t blame me for my rash actions!"
Though her medical skills were commendable, she was rather young; it took courage to trust her.
Especially for the Commandery Princess.
The uniquely esteemed elderly noble of Tianchu Country.
"Despite your young age, your medical skills are so impressive, and you possess a heart of compassion and medical virtue. I admire you deeply; how could I blame you, young lady? But are you truly the granddaughter of the Divine Doctor Han?"
"Yes, I am Yun of the Yun Family, Jinnian. My mother is also at the inn!"
Overjoyed, Madam Song said, "If that is true, I met your mother many years ago when she had just become a wife. It’s astonishing how her child has grown so much!" Feeling sentimental, she added, "Linglong, go see if Mrs. Yun has rested. If she has not, please invite Mrs. Yun to come over and sit for a while!"
