In order to fulfill her promise to Xiao Yujue, Shangguan Wanning studied with Li Qiao and Zhou Shan in Deshan Hall almost every day.
In order to facilitate her actions, Xiao Yujue sent the two most experienced imperial physicians in the palace to Deshan Hall to assist her in developing medicines.
As more and more cases appeared in various places and the death toll continued to increase, rumors began to spread among the people.
The reason why such a strange disease occurs today is because the emperor is not the true emperor.
He killed his father and the king, and murdered his brothers and sisters. He ascended to the throne today by stepping on the blood of numerous soldiers and civilians. He angered the way of heaven, and therefore disaster and punishment were brought down.
Such words spread, making the people, who were already feeling frightened, even more panicked.
The originally bustling capital city began to become panic-stricken. In order to avoid being accidentally injured by the sick, people even began to go out less.
At dusk, Shangguan Wanning returned to the Prime Minister's Residence and was immediately greeted by Mrs. Shangguan.
She felt distressed when she saw her daughter's tired face.
"Ning'er, are you okay? If you really feel tired, just take a few days off. Look at you, you were already thin to begin with, and now you're so thin that you can barely even hold up your wedding dress."
Shangguan Wanning forced a smile to comfort her mother.
"Mom, I'm fine."
"This morning, Jingrui sent some supplements here. They were tributes from the local areas. The emperor gave him a lot of them, so he moved them all here. He said they were for my health. But in fact, he loves you."
As Madam Shangguan was speaking, a maid brought over a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
"We're going to eat soon. Eat a little first to fill your stomach. I've asked Grape to prepare hot water for you to bathe. Once you've changed your clothes, we'll eat together."
"good."
Shangguan Wanning returned to her room, took off her clothes and immersed herself in the water.
Grape added petals and hot water for her.
"My lady, when you left this morning, I asked you to clean the room where Dr. Lu stayed. I found a box under the bed with some books in it, some of which were handwritten. Do you want me to put them in your study?"
"Master, do you have anything left?"
Shangguan Wanning was slightly startled, then she immediately stood up, put on her clothes, and asked Grape to bring the box over.
She took out the things inside, which were several notebooks written by Lu Xiangzi. The handwriting on them was definitely from Lu Xiangzi.
Shangguan Wanning flipped through it casually and found some annotations on difficult and complicated diseases.
Suddenly, a page of records caught her attention.
The symptoms described above are almost exactly the same as the current symptoms. The most gratifying thing is that there is a solution.
"Great! Great!"
Shangguan Wanning was so excited that she hugged Grape tightly and wanted to kiss her.
"Grape, you are so cute. You are my lucky star."
"Miss, are you okay?" Grape had never seen Shangguan Wanning lose her composure like this.
Shangguan Wanning did not answer. She immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare a sedan chair and rushed back to Deshan Hall overnight to treat one of the patients according to the method in the book.
Shangguan Wanning held her breath and watched the patient's reaction after acupuncture.
The patient gradually calmed down and his pulse returned to normal.
Shangguan Wanning gave the patient some more medicine, and the next day, the patient woke up and was basically fine.
Everyone was very happy.
The news that Princess An Ning was able to cure diseases spread throughout the capital. Every day, there was an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment at Deshan Hall, almost breaking down the door.
Shangguan Wanning accepted all the patients and not only treated them for free, but also provided them with free medicine.
She didn't sleep for two days and two nights, and was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat.
Finally, on the third day, Shangguan Wanning felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a familiar room.
"Ning'er, are you awake? How are you?"
Shangguan Wan Ning looked a little dazed. "Jing Rui? Why are you here? My mother said that we can't meet before we get married...it's unlucky."
Mu Jingrui was almost going crazy with anger.
When he learned that Shangguan Wanning had fainted from exhaustion, he no longer cared about whether it was auspicious or not.
"If I don't see you again, I will die young and you will be a widow. What could be more unlucky than this?"
Seeing that Shangguan Wanning wanted to sit up, Mu Jingrui took a pillow and placed it under her waist.
"Don't talk nonsense..." Shangguan Wanning glared at Mu Jingrui.
Mu Jingrui held her hand, and the warmth from his palm made her feel at ease.
Actually...she also wanted to see him.
"How's the situation at Deshantang?"
"Don't worry about others, just take care of yourself."
At this time, Grape came in with medicine.
Mu Jingrui took the medicine from Grape, blew it cool, and fed it to Shangguan Wanning's mouth.
Grape tactfully retreated.
"Be good, take the medicine first, and I'll tell you slowly."
As soon as Shangguan Wanning smelled the medicine, she guessed the ingredients inside and had a feeling that it would be very bitter. "Can you change it to something that's not bitter..."
"You are a doctor yourself, you should know what is best for you to drink."
Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui's determined eyes and muttered some reluctance.
"Well, then. We will share the good times, the bad times, and the sufferings together."
"What... um..."
Before Shangguan Wanning understood the meaning of Mu Jingrui's words, she saw Mu Jingrui picked up the medicine bowl and took a big sip, then kissed her lips.
Shangguan Wanning's whole body froze, and when she came to her senses, she had already swallowed the medicine.
"Mu Jingrui!"
Shangguan Wanning's cheeks flushed red, and she punched Mu Jingrui in the chest with her fist.
"How's it going? Do you want me to keep feeding you?"
Shangguan Wanning's heartbeat quickened. She also liked the feeling of kissing Mu Jingrui, but...
Even though they were already husband and wife, she still felt shy.
She had no choice but to take the bowl of medicine and drink it in one gulp.
"Now, can you tell me what the situation is outside?"
"The emperor has sent a few more doctors to Deshan Hall to help. The patient has taken the medicine on your prescription, and his condition is basically under control. You should rest well first, and we will talk about it when you are better."
Shangguan Wanning still couldn't let go of her worries.
Those medicines are really just auxiliary. What really works is Lu Xiangzi's unique acupuncture technique.
Shangguan Wanning was caught in a dilemma.
Lu Xiangzi had a strange temper and personality. Over the years, he had only had her as his apprentice, and Sun Jinyao had never formally become her disciple.
She knew that Lu Xiangzi didn't want his medical skills to be passed on to others.
But the current situation...
"Ning'er, I know what you're thinking. Don't take everything on yourself and don't put too much pressure on yourself. There must be other ways."
"Yeah." Shangguan Wanning didn't want to make Mu Jingrui worry, so she smiled and snuggled into his arms.
