If he were to complain to His Majesty about the Imperial Medical Academy, the entire Imperial Medical Academy would be severely punished.
"Your Highness, spare me! Physician Du has a way to solve this, he has a way!"
The person speaking was the same one who had pushed Du Xiuyuan out earlier; he was the director of the Imperial Medical Academy.
Du Xiuyuan glanced back at everyone, and they all shrank back, feeling a sense of dread.
After returning, he was slightly better than them at preparing prescriptions, but not by much. If Prince Yu had external injuries, he could still stitch them up, but now the situation was really hopeless.
"Your Highness, shall I take your pulse first?"
Nangong Chiyu placed his hand on the pulse pillow, his eyes seeming to say, "Give them one last chance."
Du Xiuyuan sat down. Now, not only was he sweating, but the entire Imperial Hospital was trembling.
Carefully sensing Nangong Chiyu's pulse, one could tell that he had suffered internal injuries, but these had been healed.
His blood flowed smoothly, just as the other imperial physicians had said; he was in excellent health.
"Prince Yu, there is nothing seriously wrong with your health."
After Du Xiuyuan finished speaking, Nangong Chiyu's expression changed, and it seemed as if he was about to get up. The entire Imperial Hospital dared not breathe.
"but!"
Du Xiuyuan spoke again, and only then did everyone dare to breathe a sigh of relief, not knowing what Prince Yu might do to them.
Even though the Fifth Princess is so fond of Prince Yu, the Imperial Hospital would be in serious trouble if she made a move.
"Speak to me now!"
Du Xiuyuan went all out and said, "My master said that if a person loses their memory after being seriously injured, it's either a problem with the injury or a psychological one. Does Prince Yu still remember anything from the past?"
Nangong Chiyu tried to connect the images that occasionally appeared in his mind, but it was no use.
"I don't remember!"
“This is difficult. My master said that if you want to awaken a person’s inner memories, you should take him to places he has been before.”
"Either hypnosis or acupuncture, but I haven't learned acupuncture yet, and my master might know about hypnosis, but I'm powerless to help with that."
Nangong Manyu pulled Du Xiuyuan over, put her hands on her hips, and asked him, "Doctor Du, tell me, who is your master, and where is he?"
His master was in the palace, but Du Xiuyuan couldn't say that, since this matter had nothing to do with his master.
Moreover, the master might not be able to cure Prince Yu's illness. If Prince Yu were to retaliate against the master, the master's official career would be over.
"I cannot say."
Nangong Manyu grabbed Du Xiuyuan's collar and pulled off his imperial physician's hat, holding it in her hand.
"Imperial Physician Du, you dare to disobey even my orders! Do you believe your head, like this official's, could fall off at any moment?"
"Tell me quickly, where is your master? If you don't tell me, even if Prince Yu spares you, this princess won't let you and your family off the hook."
From childhood to adulthood, Nangong Manyu had never said anything so threatening, but for Nangong Chiyu, she was willing to go all out.
Regardless of Nangong Chiyu and Manyu's emotions, Du Xiuyuan remained silent, much to the frustration of the other imperial physicians.
Seeing this, Su Luo and Nangong Qing went inside. The moment they stepped through the door, Su Luo spoke.
"Fifth Princess, please don't make things difficult for Physician Du. His master is me."
Upon hearing the sound, Manyu turned her head and saw Nangong Qing and Su Luo.
Nangong Chiyu also looked over. Sunlight sneaked into the doorway, and she stood in the light, losing some of her sharpness and reflecting a gentle glow.
Everyone looked towards the entrance, where a young woman and the Third Prince were standing together.
It took him a while to realize what that woman had said—that she was Du Xiuyuan's master? Was it true?
The entire Imperial Medical Academy only knew that Du Xiuyuan's master was a young woman, but no one had ever seen her in person. If that were true, how could she be in the capital, and even have the Third Prince accompanying her in the palace?
"Lady Su, it's you...you must be joking."
Nangong Manyu released Du Xiuyuan and said.
Su Luo and Nangong Qing entered, and Su Luo extended her hand to Nangong Manyu: "Fifth Princess, give Doctor Du's hat to him."
Nangong Manyu pouted and handed the hat to Su Luo, who then passed it on to Du Xiuyuan.
After tidying himself up, Du Xiuyuan clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Su Luo, saying, "Thank you, Master!"
This...this...
If this woman really is Du Xiuyuan's master, then... then... then is there any hope for the Imperial Hospital? If Prince Yu goes to find her, he won't come looking for the Imperial Hospital anymore, right?
"Lady Su, could it be that you really are..."
Nangong Manyu asked Nangong Qing for help with uncertainty. Only when Nangong Qing nodded did her doubts subside. Her third brother would never lie to her.
"Madam Su, Physician Du said you have a way to cure Prince Yu. Please come and take a look at him. Prince Yu really wants to remember his past."
Su Luo was pulled in front of Nangong Chiyu by Nangong Manyu, and the two looked at each other.
“Manyu, I can’t cure his illness. You should find another expert.”
Nangong Chiyu didn't want to miss any opportunity, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, but this woman harbored resentment towards him and had no intention of treating him.
"No, Madam Su, Physician Du just said that you can try hypnosis or acupuncture. Even if it doesn't work, you should still try. What if it can cure you?"
"Yes, madam, why don't you give it a try?"
Even the staff of the Imperial Medical Academy began to persuade Su Luo, saying that they would feel much better if Su Luo took over Prince Yu's illness.
"Fifth Princess, hypnosis is a treatment method, but I don't know how to hypnotize, and acupuncture won't help him much either, so don't put your hopes on me."
Su Luo spoke resolutely. He had always been indifferent to Manyu, and if she remembered the past, who knew what she would become.
"Third brother, please help persuade Lady Su. Prince Yu is the greatest contributor to Nanning. If you don't persuade him, I'll have no choice but to go to Father."
Nangong Manyu shook Nangong Qing's arm, her eyes full of pleading.
"Fifth Sister, Luo Luo said there's no other way, so why don't we just give up?"
"No! We'll only know if we try."
"Okay, okay! I'll ask Luo Luo."
Nangong Chiyu stood up, looked down at Su Luo's face, and said, "How can the Deputy Minister of Agriculture possibly get rid of me?"
Su Luo didn't answer him at all. Nangong Qing leaned against Su Luo and whispered something in her ear.
"Luo Luo, Prince Yu has returned with his military achievements. His father bestowed upon him a mansion and countless gold and silver treasures. Most importantly, there is a jade pillow presented by Bei Liang."
I've heard that it's jade from the lowest part of the Northern Liang jade vein. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and it can even treat cervical spondylosis and slow down aging. It's a rare treasure. Luo Luo, look..."
Su Luo didn't know much about jade, but a jade pillow that could keep warm in winter and cool in summer sounded like a good thing. Giving this jade pillow to her mother-in-law would be a nice gift.
"Prince Yu, I heard you have a jade pillow presented by Beiliang. Is that true?"
