Han, the female historian, looked down at the box, then at Shi Lan, whose face was as beautiful as a lotus and whose eyes were as bright as stars. She sighed inwardly, thinking, "What a pity. Such a beautiful woman, yet she has such a tragic fate."

“My lady, this substance has been listed as a forbidden drug since the early days of this dynasty. In small amounts, it can make one’s bones and flesh weak, cause confusion and bewilderment, and make one’s body extremely sensitive. Correspondingly, its effects are achieved by consuming a person’s vital energy. My lady has been using this substance since childhood, and now her vital energy has been mostly depleted. I am not very knowledgeable and I am afraid that I will fail to live up to the expectations of the Grand Commander.”

Even when she was bedridden with typhoid fever, she already had some understanding of her own body. Han's frank revelation was simply to confirm her suspicions.

"No need for you to blame yourself, Lady Shi. Life and death are predestined," Shi Lan said with a faint smile, turning the topic to her sense of smell, which was what she was most concerned about at the moment.

When Ms. Han heard that her nose was unusual, she was very surprised. After examining her, she put forward several general ideas, one of which was acupuncture.

Ms. Han believes that the only way to reduce nasal sensitivity is through acupressure. However, she has not tried this method and it is just a conjecture that she needs time to verify.

Shi Lan agreed without hesitation and frankly asked her to get treatment as soon as possible.

Han hesitated for a long time. She had long understood the situation regarding the Grand Commander's beloved Shi Lan. She was worried that if something happened to Shi Lan, she would lose her own head. On the other hand, this was the first time she had encountered such a case since she started practicing medicine. If she could cure Shi Lan, she might be recorded as an example in the medical classic, and her name would be passed down from generation to generation along with this medical masterpiece.

Ms. Han felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation, these two emotions constantly clashing, but ultimately, the desire for lasting fame prevailed. (To be continued.)
