Chapter 103
Song Xuan gestured to the imperial physician: "Tell me quickly!"
Xu Qing looked up at Shen Qingnian before saying, "Your Majesty, I have learned some acupuncture techniques and can use them to dispel the blood stasis for Your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, a royal physician immediately retorted, "Absolutely not! Applying acupuncture to the head is extremely dangerous. If we're not careful, he might never wake up again!"
"Yes, Imperial Physician Xu has only just arrived at the Imperial Hospital. How can he be so lawless, even saying things like 'inserting acupuncture on the head'!"
"Your Highness, this method is extremely dangerous and must not be used!"
"Xu Qing has only been at the Imperial Hospital for a short time, and even the hospital's chief physician is not very familiar with his abilities. Your Highness, you must not take any risks!"
......
These imperial physicians were vehemently opposed; if anything went wrong during the emperor's acupuncture, they would be robbed of their heads!
Song Xuan's expression was cold; he was clearly considering it.
Seeing this, Shen Qingnian moved their clasped hands and said softly, "Your Highness, I think it's worth a try."
In front of others, she and Song Xuan need to be addressed with respectful titles.
Upon hearing this, Song Xuan's cold expression softened slightly.
"Xuan'er, quickly let this imperial physician try!" The Empress was helped out by a palace maid. Her face was pale and she was swaying, but her tone was extremely firm.
Song Xuan nodded slightly and finally decided to let Xu Qing try. The other imperial physicians tried to dissuade him, but they could not stop him.
Xu Qing kowtowed several times to Song Xuan before hurriedly following the eunuch into the inner hall with his medicine box.
Shen Qingnian was also led inside by Song Xuan, with the Empress following closely behind.
The hall was silent. The rising scent of ambergris mixed with the aroma of medicine made Shen Qingnian frown. She felt a slight discomfort in her stomach.
The next moment, Song Xuan handed her the hawthorn and tangerine peel pills: "Have one."
He almost always keeps these meatballs on hand.
Shen Qingnian's heart stirred. She lowered her eyes, took the meatball, and said softly, "Thank you."
Even when the emperor was critically ill, he still had to pay attention to his own reactions.
She ate the sweet and sour meatballs, and the churning in her stomach immediately subsided, leaving only a lingering sweet and sour taste in her mouth, as if it seeped into her heart...
Xu Qing had already begun administering acupuncture to the Emperor, while the Empress stood by the bedside, her expression a mixture of grief and anxiety.
Song Xuan held Shen Qingnian's hand tightly, as if trying to draw strength from her.
Soon, the emperor's head was covered with silver needles. As the last needle fell, Xu Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"When will His Majesty wake up?" the Empress, who had been too afraid to speak, asked anxiously.
Xu Qing clasped his hands in a salute: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, after I retrieve the silver needles, His Majesty will wake up in three days at most."
The Empress nodded, her face full of worry.
As Xu Qing finished her acupuncture treatment, Shen Qingnian was sent back to the East Palace by Song Xuan. It was still unknown when the Emperor would wake up, and since she was pregnant, it was best for her to go back first.
Inside the East Palace.
Xiaoju served Shen Qing some light tea.
"Can Physician Xu really wake His Majesty up? If not, I'm afraid his chances of survival are slim," Xiaoju asked curiously.
This Imperial Physician Xu's audacity is truly astonishing. You know, if something goes wrong in this kind of thing, you'll lose your head.
Last time, Xiaoju went back to the Shen residence with Shen Qingnian, but she did not see Xu Qing, whom Shen Zheng had found.
