Chapter 560 I can revive it!
"How dare you! Who dares to be so audacious!"
A female guard's cold sneer rang out from afar.
"Your Highness, look! Tuanzi has been killed by this wicked woman! It's her!"
Zhao Yuniang's shrill voice rang in my ears: "Poor little dumpling, yesterday it was frolicking in front of you, Princess, begging for food, and today this wicked woman has killed it..."
As he spoke, he looked back expectantly.
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't look at anyone, but simply lowered her head and gently brushed away the scabs on the puppy's neck with her fingertips.
Suddenly, the sharp sound of gilded filigree armor scraping against vermilion pillars rang out, and the long phoenix-tail skirt swept across the still-snowy ground, seemingly oblivious to the danger.
Upon seeing this person, Jiang Nuanzhi knelt on one knee on the bluestone ground and said, "Your humble servant greets the Grand Princess."
The Grand Princess's hair ornament swayed violently, and she couldn't stand still. Her pale fingertips gripped the sandalwood prayer beads tightly. The moment her gaze fell on the puppy in Jiang Nuanzhi's arms, the string of the prayer beads snapped.
"Tuanzi..."
Her once kind eyes were now filled with murderous intent, and her trembling finger pointed directly at Jiang Nuanzhi's brow: "You! How dare you!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Chun became alert and quietly moved his body to block Jiang Nuanzhi.
"Your Highness, please don't grieve." The maidservant beside her said with concern, then turned to look at Jiang Nuan with a fierce glint in her eyes: "Are you all stupid? What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and take the princess's baby back for a proper burial, and beat this wretched maid who hurt the baby to death with sticks!"
The waitress spoke in a deep, chilling voice.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Zhao Yuniang's eyes, and she shouted almost excitedly, "Yes, she should be beaten to death! How could she be so cruel? Poor little dumpling!"
After saying that, she proudly tilted her chin up and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi.
"Let's see who dares!" Lin Chun clenched his fists and stood directly in front of Jiang Nuanzhi: "My master is the imperial physician in the Emperor's court. He was on his way to treat the Emperor. This is an undeserved disaster!"
Upon hearing this, the maidservant beside the Grand Princess narrowed her eyes and sized up Lin Chun, then said coldly, "You're certainly someone who protects her mistress. But do you dare to challenge the Grand Princess? What are you waiting for! Attack!"
With a cold command from her, a group of guards immediately surrounded Lin Chun.
“My master is a seventh-rank imperial physician personally appointed by the Emperor, not a maid! Furthermore, I implore the Grand Princess to investigate thoroughly—this dog named Tuanzi was clearly thrown to my master by Zhao Yuniang. This is a complete frame-up!”
"Stop arguing, take it!"
A cool voice came from behind. The Grand Princess glanced at it, then looked at Zhao Yuniang.
Zhao Yuniang immediately shrank back, her face turning deathly pale. She quickly retorted, "Your Highness, we've been helping you search for Tuanzi the whole time. How could we have had the chance? Besides, when I got there, I already saw this vile woman holding Tuanzi's corpse!"
"Bring them all back to me and lock them all up!"
The Grand Princess just stared at Tuanzi, her eyes full of exhaustion. She didn't even glance at Jiang Nuanzhi and Zhao Yuniang, as if these people weren't worth her time.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced around. She could still see the guards on duty looking in her direction from a distance behind her, but they did not approach.
She unconsciously raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at the princess: "Wait! Your Highness, your dumpling is not dead. I can revive it."
When the guards beside her tried to snatch the puppy from her hands, Jiang Nuanzhi protected it herself.
"Your Highness, I am a physician in the Imperial Medical Academy. Please grant me some time to treat you. If I cannot save you, I will accept any punishment without further ado."
The Grand Princess looked to be only about fifty years old, with wrinkles already creeping up around her eyes. However, her aura was extraordinary, making people subconsciously overlook her appearance.
At this moment, her oppressive gaze fell on Jiang Nuanzhi's face, as if she was considering her words, and she remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, the maid waved her hand, and the guards who were about to step forward all withdrew their hands.
The tense atmosphere around them seemed to ease in an instant.
The Grand Princess suddenly moved. Without waiting for the guards, she went to the child herself to look at the seemingly lifeless little dumpling: "Can it really be cured?"
Jiang Nuanzhi gently supported the small body, her voice soft: "Your Highness, please look, Tuanzi's hind leg has been hit hard and has gone limp. But it's not a fatal injury, it can be reattached."
As she spoke, she took out her needle case, opened it, took out a small razor, and in a few quick movements shaved Tuanzi's calves clean, and also shaved several other places.
The maid beside the Grand Princess twitched. The princess loved this little ball of fur the most, why shave it like this?
Thinking this, he looked at the Grand Princess's face, only to find that the princess was just looking at him without saying a word.
Jiang Nuanzhi quickly finished shaving the fur, then bent down to carefully examine it: "The wound three inches under its ribs has already scabbed over, so it wasn't injured today. However, the bloodstains at the corner of its mouth are fresh, which shows that Miss Zhao was right earlier; its fatal wound was indeed caused by being thrown to the ground, probably with the intention of killing it."
However, the little dumpling is small and flexible, and the attacker probably wasn't very strong, which saved its life. It was unconscious. When someone threw the dumpling over, I already cleaned the blood from its mouth and nose. It's still unconscious, only suffering internal injuries from the fall. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can check if it's still breathing.”
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, she took the dumpling to show the Grand Princess.
The guards beside her immediately adopted a protective stance, but the Grand Princess waved her hand and walked forward to touch the little dumpling.
Unlike her previous coldness, her eyes were now full of tenderness and affection. She touched it, then removed all the nail guards from her hands before touching the puppy's head and placing her fingers between the puppy's nostrils: "Tuanzi is still breathing."
Seeing the Grand Princess's reaction, Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but force a smile. "Your Highness, rest assured, I used to be a veterinarian. Tuanzi can be saved. As long as Your Highness takes good care of him, judging from his current condition, although the puppy's internal organs are injured, it's not too serious. As long as you take good care of his hind leg, he's still young and probably won't have any lasting problems. I'll write you a prescription now, and Your Highness can follow it when you get back." As she spoke, she took out a pen from her bosom and wrote two prescriptions in a flowing and elegant manner, then handed them over with a smile.
The Grand Princess instinctively replied, "Just a few herbs will suffice?"
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "The value of medicine lies in its effectiveness; there's no need for too much."
As he spoke, he casually pulled a silver needle from the puppy's neck. The puppy seemed to sense something and let out a soft whimper.
The Grand Princess unconsciously let out a soft sigh and subconsciously stroked the puppy's fur.
Jiang Nuanzhi then placed the dumpling directly into the Grand Princess's arms.
"presumptuous!"
The Grand Princess immediately rebuked in a calm and cold voice, "It's injured, how could I hold it? Take it back right now!"
