Yun Jinnian gently placed her fingers on Prince Yanjun’s wrist, feeling the icy chill that penetrated to the bone.
She had always thought herself to have a cold constitution, but she hadn’t expected Prince Yanjun to be even colder than her.
Her coldness was on the surface of her flesh, but this man, it seemed, was cold in his bones, blood, and possibly even his soul.
If he could, he would probably prefer to die.
However, sometimes, one neither dares nor can die!
Because too many people care for him. And him? Does he have anyone he cares about?
Yun Jinnian suddenly recalled her previous life, how not long after Prince Yanjun had passed away, the Empress had also departed this world...
Yun Jinnian was startled by her own thoughts.
After a brief change in her expression, she composed herself and seriously began to take Prince Yanjun’s pulse.
His condition was worse than she had imagined.
First he had gone mute, and now he was blind. She feared that in a few months he would become deaf, unable to hear any sound at all, and eventually his limbs would become immobile, his memory would fail him, turning him into an idiot who could not move, speak, hear, or see.
Yun Jinnian lifted her hand, "Commandery Prince, please switch to the other hand."
Prince Yanjun nodded and pulled back his hand to offer the other.
Yun Jinnian once again took his pulse carefully, and then she asked, "Commandery Prince, may I have my brother also take your pulse?"
Prince Yanjun looked at Yun Jinnian, knowing she wanted Han Tianci to gain more experience, and gave a slight nod.
Yun Jinnian rose to her feet, gesturing for Han Tianci to come over.
Han Tianci was overjoyed and sat down in the designated spot. Yun Jinnian stood by his side, encouraging him with a smile.
Han Tianci nodded towards Yun Jinnian and reached out to take Prince Yanjun’s pulse.
The moment Han Tianci touched Prince Yanjun’s skin, he almost jumped up in shock.
Yun Jinnian quickly pressed her hand on his shoulder, using force to keep him seated.
Han Tianci blushed with embarrassment, looking up at Yun Jinnian and finding her still bearing an encouraging gaze, his eyes immediately rimmed red.
"Continue," Yun Jinnian said softly.
Han Tianci acknowledged with a nasal tone.
Keenly remembering the way Yun Jinnian had taken the pulse earlier, he mimicked her gentle touch on Prince Yanjun’s wrist.
Even though the chilling cold crept from his fingertips to his entire body in an instant, he took the pulse with utmost seriousness. With his current medical skills, he might not discover much, but the learning opportunity his sister had secured for him was not something he dared waste.
Focusing intently, Han Tianci could only feel that Prince Yanjun’s pulse was extremely chaotic, one moment rushing like a torrential river, the next silent and pulseless, like that of a dead man.
After finishing, Han Tianci stood up and bowed with clasped fists to Prince Yanjun, "Thank you, Commandery Prince!"
Prince Yanjun nodded slightly. This child had great potential, and with such a sister willing to think and teach him heartily, his future was boundless!
Yun Jinnian was quite satisfied with Han Tianci’s performance.
"Commandery Prince, have you been taking the Detoxification Pill recently?" Yun Jinnian asked.
Prince Yanjun nodded, looking towards Chu Yu.
Chu Yu hurriedly smiled, "It’s the one you gave me!"
Yun Jinnian indicated her understanding, glanced at Chu Yu, then turned to Prince Yanjun, "Stop taking this pill in the future, it’s not good for your health!"
"But after my cousin took the pill, he could see again!" Chu Yu hurriedly inquired.
Yuwen Ya also spoke up urgently, "Yes, when my uncle first saw us, he couldn’t see at all!"
"That is precisely why you should not continue taking it. This Detoxification Pill can’t remove the poison from the Commandery Prince’s body. On the contrary, it will hasten the onset of other severe toxins in his body. Not only does it have no benefits, but it also brings a plethora of harms!" Yun Jinnian explained.
