It took Pei Luo more than an hour to finish her first acupuncture treatment.
When Pei Luo finished acupuncture, Duanmu Junyu was already soaked in sweat, as if she had been pulled out of a pool of water.
Pei Luo frowned as he looked at her: "Your Majesty, why don't you take a nap first? We can talk about everything after you've woken up."
Normally, she should take a bath first and then get a good night's sleep in her condition, but she probably doesn't have the energy to take a bath now!
Duanmu Junyu was indeed completely exhausted. Forget about taking a bath, she couldn't even move a finger.
The moment the silver needles were removed from her head, she felt as if a huge boulder had finally been lifted from her head. In that instant, she couldn't think of anything and closed her eyes tightly.
Soon, Duanmu Junyu fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Duanmu Junyu had fallen asleep, everyone carefully moved to the inner hall, and no one dared to disturb her.
In fact, Duanmu Junyu's brain had already fallen into a deep sleep, and no matter how loud the noise was now, it wouldn't wake her up.
Su Xuening glanced worriedly at Duanmu Junyu, who was sleeping in the outer hall, and asked Pei Luo, "Can Mother's amnesia be cured?"
Pei Luo raised an eyebrow: "It should be fine, but this kind of acupuncture will take fifteen to twenty sessions. Then we'll see if the blood clot in your mother's brain is cleared. If the blood clot is cleared, she will most likely regain her memory. If the blood clot is cleared but she still hasn't regained her memory, then we'll have to look for other reasons."
In fact, he couldn't guarantee that he could cure Duanmu Junyu's amnesia. Based on his experience, her amnesia was probably caused by that blood clot. However, he really couldn't say whether she could regain her memory after the blood clot was removed.
The only thing he was certain of was that her amnesia was related to the blood clot in her brain. Even if the blood clot was removed, she might not be able to regain her memory. However, removing the blood clot would only benefit her body, so all treatment had to start with the blood clot in her brain.
Su Xuening, of course, trusted Pei Luo's medical skills: "Based on Master's experience, how long will it take for Mother to regain her memory?"
Pei Luo knew that Su Xuening was worried about the situation in Dongchu and also urgently needed Duanmu Junyu to regain her memory so that she could find the real Su family army's military seal: "It depends on the individual's endurance. If it were an ordinary person, the acupuncture would have to be done every five days, if not seven. However, your mother has a very high tolerance. I will give her some medicine to help her recover faster. But it will still take at least two or three days to do acupuncture, so it will take at least one to two months to remove the blood clot in your mother's brain."
Su Xuening understood. Although she was anxious to know the whereabouts of the Su family army's military token, she also felt sorry for her mother and couldn't bear to let her suffer so frequently.
"Let's take longer breaks. We can't ignore Mother's health just to help her regain her memory."
Pei Luo nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Su Yun'an stayed by Duanmu Junyu's side the whole time.
Duanmu Junyu slept soundly until the afternoon before waking up.
"Mother, you're finally awake!" Upon seeing Duanmu Junyu awake, Su Yun'an immediately rushed into her arms.
Seeing this, Su Xuening said, both amused and exasperated, "Yun'an, how can a man like you act like a child all the time!"
This child became too dependent on his mother after seeing her!
Duanmu Junyu didn't mind at all, and patted Su Yun'an's head, saying, "It's alright, boys should be pampered!"
Boys should be able to snuggle in their parents' arms!
Su Xuening: "..."
Su Yun'an: "..."
Duanmu Junyu's words left Su Yun'an and Su Xuening speechless.
Su Yun'an looked at Duanmu Junyu with some embarrassment. His mother must be mistaking him for a boy from the Western Liang Kingdom.
He had forgotten that the Western Liang Kingdom was a matriarchal society, where male children were treated the same as female children in the Eastern Chu Kingdom.
Su Yun'an pursed his lips. He didn't want to be a boy from Xiliang; he was a boy from Dongchu.
He's a real man, and he's determined to learn martial arts well so that he can become a great general like his father and protect his mother and sister!
Su Yun'an finally realized that he had become more and more affectionate with his mother since arriving in Xiliang. Of course, his intention was not because he was a boy and therefore liked to be affectionate with his mother; it was because he missed his mother so much.
Su Yun'an didn't want to be a boy from Xiliang, nor did he want his mother to pamper him like a boy from Xiliang. He quickly stepped out of Duanmu Junyu's arms, coughed lightly, and said in a serious tone, "Mother, are you feeling better? Are you still in pain?"
When Su Yun'an asked this, Duanmu Junyu realized that her head no longer hurt: "It doesn't hurt anymore, and I actually feel more relaxed."
My head, in particular, doesn't feel so heavy anymore; I feel much lighter.
"That's good." Su Yun'an breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Inside the inner palace, Su Xuening felt relieved.
Duanmu Junyu got up and went to the inner hall, where she looked at Su Xuening and Xiaobao.
Xiao Bao is awake right now, staring at Duanmu Junyu with his big, dark eyes.
Duanmu Junyu stared at Xiaobao, and suddenly an image of an infant in swaddling clothes flashed through her mind. She subconsciously picked Xiaobao up and looked at his dark, bright eyes, and couldn't help but laugh, "Xiaobao's eyes look just like mine."
Su Xuening smiled: "Yes, his eyes are like yours."
Overall, Xiao Bao looks very much like Xuan Yuanzhan, especially her eyes, which are not like Xuan Yuanzhan's gray eyes, but are as black and shiny as hers.
She and Yun'an both resembled their mother very much, so Xiao Bao's eyes naturally resembled his mother's as well.
Duanmu Junyu touched Xiaobao's delicate little face: "This child is so beautiful!"
Duanmu Junyu had never met Xue Ning's husband, but judging from the child's appearance, she knew he must be extremely good-looking!
This is a good match for Xue Ning. She had heard Yun An say that he was very good to Xue Ning and deeply loved her. Otherwise, she might not have agreed to the marriage!
Since this man is of good character, good looks, and good family background, and he is devoted to Xue Ning, plus his mother also dotes on Xue Ning and treats her like her own daughter, then she has no choice but to accept this son-in-law!
If there's even the slightest flaw in this person, she'll find Xue Ning a new husband!
Seeing that Duanmu Junyu liked Xiaobao, Su Xuening was also very happy.
Duanmu Junyu held the baby and played with him, growing more and more fond of him: "When the baby is a month old, let's give him a Vermilion Bird mark."
Su Xuening looked surprised: "Is it the Vermilion Bird mark like the one on your shoulder?"
Duanmu Junyu nodded: "Yes, it is the symbolic totem of the Western Liang royal family."
Every direct descendant of the Western Liang royal family had to have the Vermilion Bird mark imprinted on their back shoulder.
She and Duanmu Shenghua both have them, as do Duanmu Shenghua's two legitimate daughters, and it's estimated that Duanmu Qingxin also has one.
