Chapter 57 Youning Saves Zhu Xuezheng's Wife
Zhu Xuezheng's heart moved, and he immediately nodded and agreed, "Then let the prince and others rest first, I will take you there."
Chu Huaixu frowned subconsciously.
Zhu Xuezhen, this is not true!
Where does he want to take Youning?
Thinking of Yu Youning's superb golden needle skills, Chu Huaixu also understood what was going on.
But... Youning is so young, what if I can't cure her...
Chu Huaixu was still worried, but Yu Youning had already followed Zhu Xuezhen and was skipping away.
Zhu Xuezhen did not break his promise. He took Yu Youning to the melon field first.
There was a big green watermelon growing in the field, which was bigger than Yu Youning's head.
Looking at the big round watermelon, Yu Youning swallowed his saliva.
It must be sweet!
Zhu Xuezhen picked up the melons with very skilled movements, and it was obvious that he had picked many before.
He quickly selected a few melons, picked them himself and gave them to the servant who followed him. "Wash them clean and send them to the prince and his men first. Leave one for Youning."
Yu Youning slurped his saliva, "Xue Zheng, why are you keeping it? Can't you eat it now?"
Zhu Xuezheng squatted down and looked at Yu Youning straight in the eye. "Youning, I have something I want to ask you for help with."
"What's the matter?"
For Watermelon's sake, she helped!
"My wife has always been in poor health. After her miscarriage, she has been bedridden. Over the years, I have sought out famous doctors and even invited imperial physicians, but none of them have been able to cure her. Could you please help me see her? Even if you are powerless and cannot save her, I won't blame you."
He knew that asking a five-year-old girl to save his wife was a bit unreasonable.
But he and his wife had known each other since they were young, and it had been more than 20 years since then. He really couldn't bear to see her die so early.
Yu Youning thought it was something else, but when she heard that they wanted her to help save someone, she agreed without any hesitation, "Okay! Let's go!"
She quickly saved the people so she could go eat watermelon!
Seeing that Yu Youning agreed so easily, Zhu Xuezhen was a little surprised.
But he was also anxious and didn't have time to think about it, so he took Yu Youning away.
The two walked for a quarter of an hour before entering a small courtyard.
This small courtyard has a good location, but it is surrounded by fertile fields. Compared with other houses, it is very quiet.
After entering, you will see that the yard is exquisite and elegant, and it is full of various flowers and plants, which makes people feel happy just by looking at it.
The house is also somewhat different from ordinary houses. The doors and windows are larger and the roof is higher.
When the weather is good, the sun can fill the whole house, which is very suitable for recuperation.
This shows how much Zhu Xuezhen cares about his wife.
Seeing Zhu Xuezhen lighten her steps, Yu Youning also followed her example and took light steps, for fear of disturbing the people inside.
After walking around a screen, Yu Youning finally saw the person lying on the bed.
This was a woman in her thirties, with a pale face and thin body, but she was clean and tidy, and there was no strange smell in the house.
Zhu Xuezheng walked to the bedside and said softly, "Madam, how do you feel today?"
Mrs. Zhu smiled softly, her voice weak, "I feel very good."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a little girl walking up to her quietly.
The little girl has delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, chubby cheeks, and fair and tender skin, as if water could be squeezed out of it.
Especially those big eyes, round, black and white, like a cat's eyes, clear, innocent, and full of curiosity.
Mrs. Zhu had never seen such a beautiful little girl before, and she was instantly delighted. "Whose child is this? She's so pretty!"
Being praised for her beauty, Yu Youning was in a very good mood and quickly stepped forward to introduce herself, "Auntie, my name is Yu Youning, and I'm a student at Xuezheng!"
"So that's how it is." Mrs. Zhu smiled gently and raised her hand to touch Yu Youning's little face.
But she had no strength in her hands, and her hands fell down just as they were raised halfway.
Yu Youning hurriedly trotted forward, hugged Mrs. Zhu's hand, and put his face in her palm.
Mrs. Zhu felt Yu Youning's smooth face and soft little hands in her palm, and her heart melted.
This little girl is so cute!
Yu Youning blinked his eyes, moved his hand and placed it on Mrs. Zhu's pulse.
Mrs. Zhu was in poor health and a doctor came to check her pulse almost every day. Her wrist had become extremely sensitive.
She felt it as soon as Yu Youning's finger was placed on it, but she didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just a coincidence.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Yu Youning speak in a baby voice.
"I can cure Auntie's illness! Xuezheng, you don't have to worry!"
Mrs. Zhu was shocked when she heard this, but Zhu Xuezhen cried with joy.
"Youning, are you telling the truth?" Zhu Xuezhen asked uncertainly.
Yu Youning's face was full of seriousness, "Of course it's true! Youning never lies!"
"I didn't say you were lying, I was just... just too excited..."
He had consulted so many famous doctors over the years, but to no avail, and he was becoming desperate.
Now that I hear Yu Youning say it can be cured, how can I not be excited?
Mrs. Zhu still didn't understand what was going on. She looked at Yu Youning, then looked at Zhu Xuezheng with a puzzled look on her face, "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Zhu Xuezheng wiped the tears from his face and began to explain, "Madam, don't underestimate Youning because she's young. She's the last disciple of the Medicine King Valley's master, and she's a master at using golden needles! If she says she can cure you, she definitely can!"
"this!"
Mrs. Zhu looked shocked.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Yu Youning, but she has been disappointed many times over the years and has long been accustomed to it.
I didn't expect that there would be a day when things would brighten up. For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Zhu Xuezheng was able to remain calm and took a deep breath. "Youning, what should I prepare?"
"No need!" Yu Youning shook his head, "Just wait on the side!"
Yu Youning took out the roll of golden needles from her purse and said to the maid beside her, "Take off my aunt's clothes. I want to give her acupuncture."
The two maids looked at Zhu Xue Zheng, and when they saw Zhu Xue Zheng nodded, they stepped forward to help Mrs. Zhu take off her clothes.
Yu Youning then looked at Zhu Xuezheng and said, "Xuezheng, go ask the prince for a candy bean. Just say it's what I want, and the prince will definitely give it to you."
"Jelly beans?"
Zhu Xuezhen felt puzzled, but went anyway.
Mrs. Zhu's clothes were also taken off at this time.
She has been lying in bed all year round, taking more medicine than food, and has become so thin that she is just a bag of bones.
"Don't be afraid, Auntie. You'll be cured soon. Eat more and get more sun, and you'll be fat soon!"
Hearing Yu Youning's words, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help laughing.
"Youning is young, so being chubby is good-looking. I'm older..."
"Auntie isn't that old! She's so pretty!"
Mrs. Zhu was amused again.
The two maids listened at the side and smiled.
Yu Youning walked forward with the golden needles and inserted them into Mrs. Zhu's body one by one.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhu's body was full of gold needles, the two maids were very nervous.
But Mrs. Zhu herself seemed to feel nothing. There was no pain on her face. Instead, her frown relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"For so many years, I've always felt heavy and cold, but this is the first time I've felt so relaxed."
Yu Youning nodded her head, "That's right! Auntie's health was not good to begin with, and she shouldn't have forced herself to get pregnant. When she had a miscarriage, cold air entered her body, causing her health to deteriorate rapidly. She has been relying on precious medicinal herbs to stay alive these years, so it's natural that she feels tired.
But it will be fine in a moment! I'll help you get rid of the coldness in your body, and then you can eat another candy bean and your body will be just like a normal person! If you want to have a baby, you can do that too! "
The greatest pain in Madam Zhu's life was not being able to have a child of her own. Hearing Yu Youning's words, she was immediately excited, "Youning, are you serious? Can I really have a child of my own?"
"all right!"
Mrs. Zhu's tears rolled down the corners of her eyes. She didn't know whether she was excited or sad, or maybe both.
A quarter of an hour later, Yu Youning pulled out all the golden needles, and Zhu Xuezhen came back holding a snow-white candy bean.
The candy beans were handed to Mrs. Zhu, who ate them without any hesitation.
Almost instantly, Mrs. Zhu's originally pale complexion became visibly rosy.
Seeing this, Zhu Xuezhen burst into tears again.
"lady!"
Mrs. Zhu didn't look at Zhu Xuezheng, but looked at Yu Youning, "Youning, thank you for saving me!"
As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant from under her pillow and handed it to Yu Youning. "This jade pendant is for you. If you need it in the future, just take it to the Huainan Palace. The Huainan Palace will definitely help you."
Mrs. Zhu's name was Chu Qingran, and she was the legitimate daughter of the King of Huainan.
The King of Huainan is the uncle of the current emperor.
According to seniority, Chu Qingran and the current emperor are cousins, and she is Chu Huaixu's aunt.
The King of Huainan was kind and had been fond of supporting poor students for many years. Chu Qingran often followed him around and got to know the young Zhu Xuezhen.
The two met in childhood and were childhood sweethearts. Later, they got married when they were older.
After marriage, Zhu Xuezhen did not take advantage of the title of King of Huainan to serve as an official in the court, but instead entered the Imperial College to teach.
The couple are two centimeters apart. Both are indifferent to fame and fortune. They like poetry and painting and live a stable life. They are very low-key in their daily lives and do not attract much attention in the capital.
Because Chu Qingran's health was getting worse and he didn't like the noise in the capital, he came to the farm to recuperate.
After school every day, Zhu Xuezhen would rush to the farm to accompany Chu Qingran.
Zhu Xuezhen had invited the elders from Yaowang Valley to come and see him before, but they were unable to cure the disease, only relieved some of the pain.
I invited Yu Youning over this time, but I didn't have much hope. However, I never expected that there would be such a big surprise, and the disease was cured directly!
Yu Youning took the jade pendant and tilted his head. Huainan Palace?
Why are there so many royal palaces and marquisate mansions in the capital?
But never mind!
She's going to eat watermelon now!
