Sang Shijing never boasted, so when the Fourth Prince saw Li Yunyan, who looked younger than him, he was only surprised and had no doubts.
"Indeed! Doctor Li's medical skills are superb, and he is kind and compassionate. In just three months, I, Sang, have already recovered greatly and will soon be fully healed!"
Praised by Sang Shijing, Li Yunyan couldn't let him lose face! She confidently walked up to the Fourth Prince and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Fourth Prince, may I take your pulse?"
The fourth prince nodded and extended his wrist.
She placed her fingers on the pulse, but after a short while, Li Yunyan withdrew her hand.
"The Fourth Prince was poisoned in the womb, so he was born weak. Fortunately, the imperial physicians were highly skilled. If he had been born into a commoner family, the Fourth Prince would probably have already..."
The fourth prince was somewhat surprised by her audacity, as she so casually revealed the royal secrets.
Sang Shijing smiled gently. Yunyan, when examining patients, was always straightforward and bold.
The Fourth Prince was not one to be pedantic. Now that the matter was out in the open, he didn't stand on ceremony. He coughed a few times and teased, "Commoners wouldn't be susceptible to poison like mine!"
"Yes, they certainly don't have that kind of luck!"
Amused by her words, the Fourth Prince nodded, "Indeed!"
After a few words, the atmosphere immediately lightened considerably. The Fourth Prince looked at Li Yunyan with a meaningful gaze, finding this female doctor quite interesting!
Li Yunyan wanted to finish the battle quickly, but she was reluctant to use the medicine from the system.
After all, she was very frugal even when giving medicine to Sang Shijing, so she couldn't let others benefit from it!
Fortunately, the palace had all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, so Li Yunyan didn't hold back when prescribing medicines. As long as the effect was good, she dared to use any good stuff!
She handed the prescription to the Fourth Prince, saying, "Fourth Prince, if you trust me, you don't need to take any more of the medicine you've been taking! Take the medicine twice a day according to the prescription, and I will come over every day to give you acupuncture. I guarantee that after a month, you will be as lively as ever!"
After the fourth prince took the prescription and admired her elegant handwriting for a moment, he handed it to his personal eunuch.
"Take this prescription to the Imperial Medical Academy."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
When Li Yunyan entered the palace, she was not allowed to bring silver needles, so she said again, "Fourth Prince, could you please have someone prepare a set of silver needles? I will administer acupuncture to you now, and you will be able to sleep soundly tonight!"
"Can!"
While waiting, Li Yunyan had a palace maid bring water to wash her hands, and then asked the Fourth Prince to lie down on the soft couch, appearing calm and confident.
The fourth prince trusted her for no apparent reason, and with Sang Shijing as a living example, he readily complied with her arrangements.
After a few needles, the Fourth Prince immediately felt the itching in his throat disappear and his mind became much clearer!
He looked at Li Yunyan with surprise, but Li Yunyan simply raised an eyebrow, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Sang Shijing stood silently by her side the whole time, watching Li Yunyan's every move with a smile, his eyes filled with a hint of pride.
After the acupuncture was finished, the fourth prince had already fallen asleep on the soft couch.
He slept very soundly, his breathing was smooth and shallow, and his facial muscles were relaxed and comfortable, as if he hadn't slept so well in a long time.
There were palace maids and eunuchs in the hall, so they didn't need to guard it. Li Yunyan and Sang Shijing then silently took their leave.
Upon arriving at the palace gates, just as they were about to board their carriage, they encountered an annoying person.
Li Yunyan curtsied and said, "Greetings, Sixth Prince!"
"Miss Li!" Pang Xingyu exclaimed with delight as he walked up to her. "It's been a long time!"
Sang Shijing frowned, stepped in front of Li Yunyan, and said in a deep, clear voice, "Greetings, Sixth Prince."
Pang Xingyu was somewhat displeased that his view was blocked, but when he looked closely at the person who had come, his displeasure turned into surprise.
"You are... the grandson of Scholar Sang?"
"That is indeed me!"
Pang Xingyu still gave Sang Shijing face and didn't make things difficult for him.
Just across from him, he made conversation by saying to Li Yunyan, "I didn't expect Miss Li's medical skills to be so amazing. Even the imperial physicians were helpless, but you were able to bring them back to health with your magic touch!"
Li Yunyan couldn't touch him now, nor did she want to engage in any pretense with him, so she replied indifferently, "Sixth Prince, you flatter us! We have other matters to attend to, so we won't disturb you any longer!"
"Wait!"
Pang Xingyu blocked her way again. "Miss Li, how is your injured foot?"
Li Yunyan took two steps back, her tone indifferent, "Thank you for your concern, Sixth Prince, but I'm fine now."
"That's good!"
Seeing that Pang Xingyu still wanted to pester him, Sang Shijing frowned and pulled Li Yunyan behind him.
"I've heard that the Sixth Prince and the Fourth Miss of the Li family are getting along very well. It seems that good news is on the horizon. I, Sang, would like to offer my congratulations to the Sixth Prince in advance!"
Pang Xingyu choked.
I don't know which brother did it, but his reputation has declined recently!
Just in case, he did meet with the fourth young lady of the Li family in private. It was to keep her in check and ensure that the Li family was brought to his side.
He thought he had done a very discreet job, but he never expected that the Sang family's intelligence network would be so well-informed.
Sang Shijing's eyes gleamed. The fact that Yunyan was the legitimate daughter of the Li family was only known to the two families for the time being! It wouldn't be too late to make this public after the Sixth Prince had secretly been having an affair with the Fourth Miss Li.
The sixth prince is now a typical example of wanting both.
He coveted both Li Xiang's power in the court and the stunning beauty of Li Yunyan. He cast a wide net, but little did he know that he might end up with nothing.
Having his thoughts exposed to his face, the Sixth Prince could no longer pester Li Yunyan. He merely gave Sang Shijing a meaningful look before leaving indignantly.
On the carriage ride back, Sang Shijing kept his lips tightly pressed together. His usually calm and composed face now held a gloomy look, as if a storm was brewing.
Li Yunyan raised her finger and gently rubbed his temples, saying softly, "Shi Jing, you can't get angry."
Sang Shijing took a deep breath and pulled her into his arms.
He rested his chin on the top of her head, his eyes deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.
Li Yunyan insisted on looking him in the eye, and said somewhat reluctantly, "You must listen to this doctor and not get angry, otherwise all my previous efforts will have been in vain."
He sighed and looked at her helplessly, "Alright, I won't get angry."
"real?"
"Um."
Li Yunyan's eyes sparkled, and a shy smile appeared on her lips as she whispered in his ear, "I have a way to make you stop being angry!"
"What method?"
Her cheeks flushed slightly. "Close your eyes first!"
Sang Shijing obediently closed her eyes, and her tightly pursed lips relaxed after being interrupted like this.
Suddenly, he felt the fragrance at the tip of his nose getting stronger.
The next moment, I tasted a sweet and soft flavor on my lips.
