What is the experience of transmigrating into a cannon fodder charact...

Chapter 86 Acupuncture

Yinzhen chattered on and on beside Yin Qingyi for a long time. If someone who knew Yinzhen well saw this, they would probably think that Yinzhen was acting strangely.

After all, in other people's eyes, Yinzhen was the epitome of boredom. He would only say one word at a time, never two. But now, this taciturn man could talk on and on for half an hour without stopping. How could people not be surprised?

"My lord, Physician Li has arrived." Su Peisheng's voice finally rang out from outside.

"Come in." Yinzhen stopped his incessant chatter and returned to his usual demeanor.

Yin Hengyi did not bow when he entered, but sat down directly on the edge of the bed without even glancing at Yinzhen. The old nanny took Yin Qingyi's hand and Yin Hengyi put his hand on Yin Qingyi's pulse.

Judging from Yin Hengyi's attire, he had arrived in a hurry; his clothes were even in disarray.

Yinzhen didn't say anything. Saving lives was the priority right now; whether he was being impolite or not was a minor matter. He stood up and watched from the side, his hands unconsciously clenching.

When Yin Hengyi took Yin Qingyi's pulse, his tense heart immediately relaxed. Fortunately, it wasn't as serious as Su Peisheng had said.

When Su Peisheng found him and said that Xiaoyi was not well, his heart almost stopped. In this era, if something was not well, it was no different from being about to die. How could he not be frightened when Su Peisheng said that?

"How was it?" Yinzhen asked quickly as he saw Yin Hengyi withdraw his hand.

"I would like to ask why Consort Consort suddenly had a nightmare?" Yin Hengyi was very curious about this. Consort Consort was fine yesterday, so why did she have a nightmare today?

"Imperial Physician Li, Consort Yin Qingyi played with the three young masters for a while today and then said she was tired and wanted to rest. She asked all the old servants to leave, and she slept until almost dinner time. At that time, the master was also in the room. Consort Yin Qingyi must have had a nightmare then. After waking up, she said something to the master, and after the master left, Consort Yin Qingyi became like this." Granny Qi did not say that Consort Yin Qingyi was depressed and rested because she heard that Yinzhen had gone to the main courtyard. It was not easy to say this, especially in front of Yinzhen.

"What did the Prince and his concubine say?" Yin Hengyi turned to look at Yinzhen, his tone somewhat cold.

“I didn’t say anything. She must have had a nightmare and was very panicked when she woke up. I just wanted to comfort her, but she wouldn’t let me touch her, that’s all,” Yinzhen said succinctly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I need to administer acupuncture to Consort Yinzhen. She is currently unable to drink her medicine, so acupuncture is the only way to wake her up. However, I am a man, so it may be inconvenient for me. Is it possible for Your Highness to treat women in your residence?" Yin Hengyi didn't know whether he believed Yinzhen's words or not, but after listening, he immediately explained the method.

"Yes, it is Feng Qing." Yinzhen nodded and looked at Feng Qing beside him.

"My lord, I do know some medical skills, but I don't know how to perform acupuncture." Feng Qing looked bewildered; she certainly didn't know how.

"Have you studied acupoint charts?" Yin Hengyi asked Feng Qing.

"I've studied it." Feng Qing nodded.

"Do you remember the locations? Can you find them?" Yin Hengyi continued to ask.

"Remember, the search might be slow, and some acupoints are hard to find," Feng Qing said after nodding.

"Well, let me tell you the location first. You can try to find it on other people first. Once you can find it accurately, then you can give the acupuncture to Consort Yin." Yin Hengyi really wanted to give the acupuncture himself, but it was obviously impossible. It wasn't a matter of life and death yet, and Yinzhen would never agree to let a man like him give acupuncture to Consort Yin. After all, acupuncture requires removing clothes, although not completely.

"Okay." Feng Qing nodded. As long as she didn't have to start right away, she could manage.

"The first Shaoshang, the second Shangyang, the third... Is an hour enough?" Yin Hengyi gave a timeframe after speaking, mainly because the sooner the better, as staying in a nightmare for too long can also harm a person's mental state.

"More or less." Feng Qing nodded and walked to Mingyue's side.

Mingyue knew exactly what she was supposed to do, and cooperated perfectly as she walked behind the screen with Fengqing.

"Can Yin Shi wake up with just acupuncture?" Yinzhen asked after Yin Hengyi finished speaking with Feng Qing.

"Not necessarily, but this is the only way. It all depends on the fate of the concubine." Yin Hengyi was certain that this method would work, but he just wouldn't tell Yinzhen that Xiaoyi's behavior was definitely related to this person. It was already his limit that he could still speak to him calmly. If it weren't for the times, he would have gone up and beaten him up!

"Does Physician Li already know why Lady Yin is having nightmares?" Yinzhen's expression was unpleasant. What difference did it make whether he said anything or not? Determine by fate? What's the point of having him then?

"The concubine has something she fears, and when this is kept in her heart for too long, it naturally becomes a mental illness, which is how this nightmare came about." Yin Hengyi had long known that Yin Qingyi had something on her mind, but since she didn't say anything, he didn't ask, thinking that she was just not used to this era and would get better after a while. He never expected that such a carelessness would almost lead to a disaster.

"What are you afraid of?" Yinzhen repeated the question, looking at Yin Qingyi lying on the bed, his eyes flickering slightly, as if he was thinking of something.

"Why didn't Physician Li come today to prescribe medicine to help Lady Yin recover, as he said he would?" Yinzhen put aside his strange thoughts and looked back at Yin Hengyi.

"After I returned last night, I wrote a prescription for Consort Yin, but after going to the Imperial Hospital, I found that the prescription was not perfect, so I revised it again, which is why I was delayed. I was thinking of coming back tomorrow, but who knew... Now that Consort Yin is like this, I think we can only wait until she has recovered before she can take the medicine. Otherwise, taking these two medicines together might affect their efficacy." Yin Hengyi did not expect that such a thing would happen in just one day.

"It's really too much trouble for Physician Li." Seeing that Yinzhen didn't speak, Granny Qi had to speak herself. Besides, she wasn't wrong. Physician Li had really been a great help these days. From the time the master was pregnant to the time of childbirth and now, it was Physician Li who had saved the master from danger every time. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Physician Li was the master's benefactor.

"It's all part of my duty." Yin Hengyi was still very polite to Granny Naqi, mainly because he could see that Granny Naqi was genuinely good to his younger sister.

Time passed quickly as they talked, and in just over half an hour, Feng Qing and Mingyue emerged from behind the screen.
