"Hang the intravenous nutrition solution high up, disassemble the disposable intravenous infusion needle, insert this end into the intravenous nutrition solution, this is the tourniquet. Find a clear vein and tie it above the puncture point, roughly at this position. Disinfect this. Clench your fist, remove the needle cap, point the needle tip downwards, expel the air, and perform the intravenous puncture. Once you see blood return at the needle tip, it means the needle has entered the vein. You can advance the needle a little further along the vein, loosen the tourniquet, use this to fix the needle, then loosen your fist, loosen the tourniquet, and loosen the regulator. Do you understand, senior brother?"

Yan An demonstrated the procedure to Su Jingzhan and administered nutrient solution to the Emperor.

Su Jingzhan nodded, "I understand." After all, he was a prodigy chosen by the Divine Physician Jiugu. Although these things were unfamiliar to him, they were easy to understand.

Yan An went behind the screen, his consciousness flashed into the operating room, he prepared three more bags of nutrient solution, took several packs of disposable intravenous infusion needles and some fixation bandages, and then left the operating room.

"Senior brother, this is the nutrient solution for the next three days. You must keep it safe. Remember to throw away the single-use intravenous infusion needle after use."

"Okay, you can rest assured about what you're doing, senior brother. Is junior sister not coming these next few days?" Su Jingzhan carefully put the nutrient solution into his medicine box to avoid being discovered by others.

"It's just a preparation." Yan An then taught Su Jingzhan how to remove the needles and some precautions. Seeing that Yue Xiyuan had not yet returned, he prepared to go to Shou Kang Palace to take a look.

Yan An arrived at Shou Kang Palace and happened to hear the Empress Dowager about to issue an edict for the two of them to get married. Yan An thought that after her marriage with Yue Xiyuan, they would be like lotus blossoms in full bloom, harmonious as a zither and lute, and as loving as fish and water.

"Hehehe..." Yan An thought about married life, then she could openly take advantage of him... that figure...

At this moment, Yue Xiyuan didn't know what Yan An thought. The two of them hadn't discussed this matter before. If he were to issue an imperial edict on his own initiative, he didn't know if Yan An would be willing. Moreover, his elder brother was still unconscious. Thinking of this, Yue Xiyuan bowed slightly to the Empress Dowager and Jiang Luo and said, "Mother, Mother-in-law, I believe this matter is of great importance. Besides, my elder brother is still unconscious. Let's wait until another day to discuss it."

"Furthermore, I have never mentioned this matter to An'an. I am worried that if I issue the decree hastily, it will frighten An'an. Therefore, I would like to ask An'an's opinion before discussing the marriage."

"Very well, An'an's opinion is the most important. This time, I was not thorough enough." The Empress Dowager looked at the fourth prince and became more and more satisfied. He was quite perceptive, better than the Emperor. The more she thought of the Emperor, the more worried she became.

Jiang Luo, standing to the side, admired Yue Xiyuan even more in her heart. He was able to respect An'an's opinion. Although there were many monogamous couples in Yue Kingdom, very few could place their wives on an equal footing with themselves. Back then, she wanted to marry Yan Cheng because Yan Cheng cherished her dearly.

As darkness deepened and the moonlight intensified, a giant bird perched atop the towering city wall. Yan An recognized it and ran towards it from Shou Kang Palace, calling out, "Big Gray!"

This bird was none other than Bai Qing's pet golden eagle. The golden eagle beside Yan An was naturally called Little Gray. Big Gray landed in front of Yan An and chirped softly.

Yan An stroked Big Gray's head. Big Gray must have missed Yan An terribly, because it shook its head in response to Yan An's gentle stroke.

"Did Master send you? How are Master and Granny Qi? Did you have a good time?"

Big Gray nodded and then shook his head. If Big Gray could speak, he would definitely complain to Yan An: Old Man Bai Qing would leave me and Bai He in the nearby forest whenever there was something fun to do with Granny Qi, saying that we would disturb them. We can smell their food and drink every day.

Yan An untied the straps on Big Grey's body, revealing a letter and a small porcelain bottle inside.

"Little An'an, it's like seeing you in person. How have you been lately? Granny Qi and I have missed you dearly. Today, we heard that Linglong Pavilion is seeking Tianshan Snow Lotus. After inquiring, I learned that the Emperor is suffering from a severe case of the Devouring God Poison. I have a seed of Tianshan Snow Lotus, which Granny Qi found eight years ago when she gave it to you to use in medicine. We kept it. Granny Qi and I know this is of great importance, so we specially sent Da Hui to deliver the medicine. Granny Qi said that the seed is useless, and the flower is the only cure for this poison. Little An'an, your constitution is special. You have a place to grow the medicine and the water of Tianshan. Only you in the world can make it bloom in a short time. But how to make it bloom quickly is something you have to figure out yourself. Granny Qi and I don't know. Remember to be quick, because the antidote may be useless to the Emperor in half a month."

"Master, your move was just in time! Big Gray, you should go back now. I'll have Little Gray come looking for you in a few days." Yan An hugged Big Gray happily and then quickly left the palace, as time was of the essence.

"Empress Dowager, Regent, Lady Yan, why isn't Princess An here? This old servant just happened to run into Princess An at the entrance of Shou Kang Palace, and she even greeted me." Rong Mama, who had just returned, was a little puzzled as she hadn't seen Yan An. The weather had been getting warmer these past few days, and there were already some mosquitoes. She was thinking of going to the Imperial Household Department to get some insect repellent spices when she happened to see Yan An at the entrance of Shou Kang Palace, and the two of them greeted each other.

"An'an? She hasn't come." Yue Xiyuan's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that just now..."

"Fourth Prince, don't worry. Maybe An'an had something urgent to attend to and left first," the Empress Dowager comforted her. She herself was also unsure and didn't know what An'an had overheard. If she had only heard that Yue Xiyuan didn't want to get married, then it would make more sense for her to leave directly.

"Xiyuan, don't worry. If An'an hears this, knowing her personality, she'll probably come looking for you and beat you up right now. Go find her first, and if you find her, tell her that I'll be staying in the palace with the Empress Dowager for the next few days and won't be going back for now."

It must be said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother. If Yue Xiyuan had wronged Yan An, Yan An would definitely have poisoned him first and then killed him.

"Your subject will go now." In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

"Let them be, Sister Ran. I'll stay here with you for the next few days, so please don't find me annoying."

"Alright, but let's make one thing clear first: you mustn't nag me."

It was late at night when Yan Yi arrived at the gate of the Yan residence. Seeing that his mother and sister had not yet returned, he waited at the gate.

"Brother, go and prepare a few days' worth of meals for me and put them in my room. If anyone comes looking for me these days, just say that I have caught a cold and cannot receive guests. Mother will probably be staying with Aunt these days."

Yan An ran towards Zi An Courtyard, then suddenly remembered that the Emperor's nutrient solution would only last for three days. He then said to Yan Cheng at the door, "Brother, come to Zi An Courtyard to find me at dawn on the fourth day. I have something for you."
