Chapter 44: Something is wrong with the prince
"Unexpectedly, the window wasn't closed tightly, and the temperature dropped and fog started to form in the middle of the night. I caught a cold, and that's when the severe pain started."
"It was already past midnight, and I didn't want to disturb the princess's rest, so I thought I'd come over early in the morning."
He overestimated himself.
On the way here, he couldn't hold on any longer.
A terrible headache came over me like a tide.
This headache was worse than any he had had in years.
The intense, unbearable pain made him face wave after wave of near-death feelings.
At that moment,
He finally understood why his grandfather and others would rather commit suicide than endure this pain anymore.
This inhuman headache is torture when alive, and only death can bring relief.
"You're lucky," Xie Yingmian said, "You made it to Tanyue Court before your blood vessels ruptured."
"I need to check your condition and give you the right acupuncture."
"If possible, I hope you can..."
Before Xie Yingmian finished speaking,
Fu Mo, who was standing by, nervously took over the conversation: "Do I need to take off my clothes to treat my headache?"
The corner of Xie Yingmian's mouth twitched.
It seems that the last detoxification left a deep psychological trauma on Fu Mo.
So much so that Fu Mo thought she had to take off her clothes to be cured.
Yan Qing was visibly nervous: "No, you don't have to take off your clothes, right?"
He was approaching his fifties and because of his poor health, he had long lost any worldly thoughts.
But he was a man after all, and it was inappropriate for him to take off his clothes in front of the princess.
Xie Yingmian said, "Of course you don't need to take off your clothes."
Fu Mo and Yan Qing both breathed a sigh of relief.
No need to take off clothes.
Xie Yingmian continued, "I mean, if possible, I hope you can shave your hair."
The medical technology of this era is too backward.
She had no medical equipment and could only rely on experience.
Her hair affects her judgment to a certain extent.
It’s best if you can shave it off, but it’s okay if you don’t want to.
She tried to treat it as conservatively as possible.
"You can shave it, shave it now." Yan Qing said.
"Don't be anxious, just get through this safely first." Xie Yingmian asked a few questions.
Yan Qing answered one by one.
Xie Yingmian's expression became more and more serious.
After the examination, she handed Yan Qing a pill.
"Take it, and the pain will stop soon."
Yan Qing swallowed the pill in one gulp.
Sure enough, not long after taking the pill, the pain subsided like the tide.
Yan Qing, who had been tortured by pain for a long time, reached his limit.
After the pain subsided, I felt sleepy and fell asleep quickly.
Yan Qing was given an acupuncture injection.
Xie Yingmian and Fu Mo came to Yu Lingye's room together.
Yu Lingye is eating chiffon cake.
Seeing Xie Yingmian coming, he seemed in a good mood: "It tastes good."
Fu Mo was stunned for a moment.
Our prince never eats sweets.
This chiffon cake is obviously sweet. The prince not only ate it, but also praised it!
Something is wrong!
There's something wrong with the prince!
Xie Yingmian's eyebrows curved, and she boasted without hesitation:
"This chiffon cake is easy to make, but it's also difficult to make. The chances of success are really not that high."
"I must have some talent for gourmet food. My first time baking, I was 90% successful."
"Today I was short on time, so I only made the simplest chiffon cake. When I have free time, I'll make a few more."
She also wants to replicate the mandarin duck hot pot, barbecue, spicy hot pot, fried chicken, instant noodles...
Unfortunately, these oily and salty foods are not suitable for Yu Lingye.
Otherwise, based on the emotional value that Yu Lingye gave her, she wanted to replicate all the delicacies that were once popular in the 21st century for him to taste.
The cuisine of the 21st century is the pinnacle of cuisine in the history.
At that time, food was abundant and delicious food was plentiful and cheap.
Even ordinary people with low incomes can buy it as long as they want to eat it.
In the following centuries, the water was seriously polluted, and the plants and animals underwent mutations.
Continuous massive natural and man-made disasters, coupled with the use of banned weapons in the war, have left many areas barren.
After the war, technology continued to develop, but food became exclusive to the rich because of its increasing price.
Gradually, various kinds of food have gradually become forgotten in the long river of history.
In the history textbooks of the 29th century, the 21st century was called the "Century of Gourmet Food".
Xie Yingmian really wanted to reproduce the various delicacies of that era.
Yu Lingye was very hungry, so he ate two pieces of chiffon cake and drank a bowl of porridge before finishing his meal.
After he had his fill, he asked, "How is Yanqing?"
Xie Yingmian said: "I don't know yet."
"At this stage, I am only treating her conservatively. I can't say for sure how far I can go in treating her."
Yu Lingye: "The headache is a curse of the Yan family. No one has been able to cure it for hundreds of years."
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "This is not a curse."
"Headaches like this that run in families are more likely to be genetic diseases."
"However, I have only met Steward Yan and have never met other members of the Yan family, so I cannot draw a definitive conclusion."
"Genetic disease?" This was the first time Yu Lingye heard this word.
"Yes, as the name suggests, it is a disease that is passed down from generation to generation." Xie Yingmian said.
Yu Lingye: "If it's a genetic disease, is there a solution?"
Xie Yingmian gave an ambiguous answer: "It depends on which genetic disease it is."
"It would be best if you could bring the rest of the Yan family here so I can take their pulses and check their specific symptoms and then treat them accordingly."
Yu Lingye said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy."
"The Yan family is a reclusive family. Members of the Yan family never leave the mountain easily, but Yan Qing is an exception."
Xie Yingmian was no stranger to secluded families.
Even in the 29th century, there were still hidden families.
Most people from reclusive families will not participate in worldly affairs and are very xenophobic.
She doesn't care about any of that.
It is the Yan family who has a headache, not her.
If the other person is unwilling to show up, she will not rush to treat him.
"Last night, when I was making the detoxification pills, I also made some painkiller pills. I'll combine them with acupuncture for three courses to see the results."
"I thank you on behalf of Yan Qing." Yu Lingye said.
Xie Yingmian waved her hand: "No need to thank me, I'm here to collect the money. I'll talk to Steward Yan when he wakes up."
Yu Lingye looked at Xie Yingmian's nonchalant expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
She probably doesn't know yet.
If she could really cure the Yan family's hereditary headache, the benefits the Yan family would bring to her would be more than just money.
"By the way, I have to go back to the Xie Mansion today or tomorrow." Xie Yingmian pinched her brows, "If I go out, do I need to tell the Concubine Dowager?"
Yu Lingye murmured, "I'm afraid you don't have time to go."
Xie Yingmian was puzzled: "Why?"
Yu Lingye: "It's very likely that the Queen Mother has heard about your relationship with Fang Yilin."
"The Queen Mother and Mother don't get along."
"After something like this happens, she won't miss the opportunity. Today, at most tomorrow, she will summon mother and you to the palace."
The Queen Mother has always been ruthless.
He might not do anything to Xie Yingmian openly, but his secret methods are hard to guard against.
It's best not to create any more complications at this time.
"Can I pretend to be sick and not go?" Xie Yingmian felt a headache when she thought of the complicated rules in the palace.
You have to be witty when speaking. People don't speak human words, and ghosts don't speak ghost words.
Everyone is smiling but has a dagger hidden in their heart. You have to be on guard all the time, which is very annoying.
