He really wanted to scoff inwardly. This Consort Duan really underestimated Prince An. He was her son, yet she didn't understand him at all. No wonder he was not favored in the harem and was sent to Prince An's residence by the Empress Dowager.
However, since Consort Duan was, after all, the emperor's concubine, he couldn't comment.
Upon seeing Lu Yuyan enter, Physician Jiang made way for him: "Young man, I have examined his injuries. The external wounds are not a problem, and a few scars are not a big deal. However, his spleen may be damaged, and it will be difficult to fully recover. Alas, it is a pity that he has such excellent skills."
Feng Yanren was still unconscious, lying on Li Feng's bed.
On the way to Feixue Garden, Wu Chuan told Lu Xiaoyun that Feng Yan had been given fifty lashes.
A normal fifty strokes of the cane would not be this severe.
Lu Xiaoyun said to Lu Yuyan, "Yuyan, Feng Yan's feelings for me are extraordinary. You must ensure his safety."
Lu Yuyan nodded, his expression calm and composed, and stepped forward to take the pulse.
Feng Yan's internal injuries were even more severe than Zhu Yu's. Those fifty blows were all aimed at his vital points. No wonder Physician Jiang said that his martial arts skills were about to be ruined.
The imperial palace—what a brilliant tactic!
Lu Yuyan said no more, took out silver needles and performed acupuncture on Feng Yan. The speed was so fast that even though it was the second time Physician Jiang had seen it, he was still amazed.
Lu Xiaoyun's face was very unpleasant. She clenched her fists in anger. If it weren't for the fact that Consort Duan was Zhu Yu's birth mother, she would have loved to beat Consort Duan a few times so that she could also suffer the pain.
Confining her to Yunmei Garden is too lenient for her!
While writing the prescription, Lu Yuyan said, "Both of them have damaged spleens. Princess Zhu will not recover for at least half a year, and Commander Feng will need to stay in bed for at least ten days to half a month. It will take two to three months to fully recover, and he cannot use his internal energy during this period."
Fortunately, Feng Yan was usually in good health and had a strong constitution. If it were anyone else, they would probably have died long ago.
Lu Xiaoyun clenched her fists, then slammed her fist on the table. Her voice was hoarse and exhausted: "Ayan, thank you for taking good care of them these past few days. Feng Yan saved my life, and we must not leave any lingering problems."
Lu Yuyan nodded: "Don't worry."
As for Zhu Yu, Lu Xiaoyun didn't need to say much. Perhaps one day their bodies would be switched back. It was his own sister's body, and he wouldn't let that body suffer any harm.
"Just ask for any medicinal herbs that are not available in the manor. As long as they are not extinct, we can find them for you."
The Prince An's estate has a wide range of businesses, including a medicinal herb shop, but she couldn't say that to Physician Jiang.
"good."
Physician Jiang's eyes widened: "Young Master Lu, are you saying that Feng Yan's martial arts skills haven't been ruined?"
"It's not useless."
"How is this possible? Eight or nine out of ten of his spleens are damaged, and his tendons and veins are also injured to varying degrees. How can he be completely healed in two or three months?"
Lu Yuyan raised an eyebrow at him, then resumed her playful grin: "Doctor Jiang, do you not believe me? How about we make another bet?"
Physician Jiang's lips twitched. He wanted to say he believed it, but the facts were right in front of him. Forget it, why bother with a bet that was obviously going to be lost?
"Your Highness, I would like to visit the Princess Consort's injuries. Would that be convenient?"
Still angry, Lu Xiaoyun took a deep breath upon hearing this and nodded to Physician Jiang.
Seeing Physician Jiang leave the room, Lu Yuyan lowered his voice to make sure no one outside could hear: "Sister, your body suffers from severe uterine coldness. It's due to premature birth and the lack of proper care after birth, so the root cause hasn't been eliminated. If you don't take good care of yourself, it will be difficult for you to have children in the future."
Lu Yuyan's expression was solemn: "The original owner must have been in so much pain that she almost fainted every time she had her period."
Lu Xiaoyun nodded. Last time Zhu Yu had his period, he thought he had been poisoned and even told her about his last wishes. He was in so much pain that he could hardly bear it. It was clear how much suffering the original owner endured during those few days every month after he became an adult.
She was born at just over eight months old and was very weak at birth. If it weren't for the fact that the Duke of Zhenguo was in Shengjing at the time, her stepmother wouldn't have dared to harm her. Before the Duke of Zhenguo went to the southern border, he gave his stepmother an order to take good care of the original owner and help her grow up. Whether the original owner could have survived is still unknown.
Even so, her stepmother was so cruel that she spoiled her, so how could she possibly ask a doctor to treat her body?
Lu Yuyan added, "Not only that, I also discovered that this body has been poisoned by some kind of poison, but the person who poisoned it was extremely careful and used a very small amount, so it has not yet manifested."
He glanced outside before saying, "Perhaps Physician Jiang discovered it but didn't say anything, or perhaps he didn't discover it at all."
In this strange and unpredictable city of Shengjing, every household has its secrets and hidden agendas. He could understand why Physician Jiang did what he did.
Lu Xiaoyun was startled: "Poison?"
Lu Yuyan nodded: "Yes, the dosage is very small. But if the poison is not forced out and left in the body, it will cause death from poisoning within two years."
"Moreover, this poison will not be detected by anyone. It will first cause illness for a period of time, with symptoms similar to a cold. Then it will become more and more serious, dragging on for about half a year, until the person is exhausted and eventually dies. And, this poison cannot be detected by examination."
"Have you been able to determine what kind of poison it is?"
Lu Yuyan nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be apricot poison. Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen. Fortunately, the amount ingested was not large. Once his injuries have healed and he can tolerate it, I will prepare an antidote to force the poison out."
Lu Xiaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, this poison was administered about two weeks ago."
"Half a month ago, the original owner was still in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, where he was raised by his stepmother."
Two years later, Lu Xiaoyun was to die in the Prince An's mansion. What exactly was that stepmother's plan? Was it really just something to do in the inner quarters?
If that's the case, there's no need for that. Not only will the original owner's marriage to Prince An's mansion mean she'll leave the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and pose no threat to her children, but if she wins Prince An's heart, she might even be able to help her children.
Moreover, if Prince An discovers the cause of death, it will be easy to trace it back to her.
What is she after?
Or perhaps someone else instructed her to do this?
Lu Xiaoyun couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Lu Yuyan glanced outside and saw dozens of guards from the Prince's residence. He then resumed his playful demeanor and patted Lu Xiaoyun on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Your Highness, with me here, I guarantee you'll have many children and grandchildren."
Lu Xiaoyun was both amused and exasperated: "Then please prescribe a medicine, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yuyan didn't stand on ceremony. He wrote out a prescription and then wrote out two full pages of precious medicinal herbs. Lu Xiaoyun took them, glanced at them briefly, and then instructed Yuan Xiu to prepare them.
