Thanks to the joint efforts of Ling Yuan and Shangguan Qingxi, Prince Rong's condition is getting better day by day.
He is now able to get out of bed and walk around. I believe that within half a month, all the remaining toxins in his body will be eliminated.
The difficulty of the four-star level has been basically solved. Although there is external help, the system doesn't seem to mind, probably because she is still the main force.
After all, this "ghost doctor" was willing to be a supporting role except for the very beginning when he took out the ice cicada.
Although she didn't know why, she felt that this was a great help to her, so she just turned a blind eye to the impersonation of her.
What Ling Yuan never expected was that Shangguan Qingxi did this largely because she wanted to see how capable her daughter-in-law was.
Of course, she was very pleased with the result.
Apart from her face and her young age, she is simply perfect.
Fortunately, her current body is one year older than Ling Yuan, not one year younger.
After all, being younger than her son is already frustrating enough. If she is younger than her daughter-in-law, where will her dignity be in the future?
Finally found a sense of balance.
Of course, Ling Yuan didn't know about her concerns.
Because she was imagining getting the coveted infusion package, she was in an extremely good mood.
I thought that since I had solved the four-star problem, the three-star problem would be a piece of cake.
As soon as they heard that Prince Rong's poison had been cured, many people came to her for treatment, and most of them were members of the royal family.
Ling Yuan was reluctant to break her long-standing rules. She treated Prince Rong out of consideration for someone else, but she didn't need to worry about anyone else.
Especially now that she has cured Prince Rong and has Wei Jie protecting her, she doesn't need to look at anyone's face.
However, in order to complete her task as quickly as possible, she still chose the old lady of Dingxi Marquis's Mansion.
It was not for any other reason, just because Wei Jie pointed out this family and wanted her to go there to treat them. Although she didn't know why, she was willing to take advantage of the situation. After all, it didn't matter who she saved, as long as she completed the task.
What Ling Yuan didn't know was that the reason why Wei Jie chose this family was because this old lady had once had a good relationship with the Du family.
Just for this reason, they couldn't just watch her die.
So, when Ling Yuan came to treat Prince Rong, she handed him over to the "ghost doctor" who was about to leave but was specially left behind by her, and asked him to take care of him on her behalf.
The old lady of Dingxi Marquis's Mansion suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and the situation was very serious.
After Ling Yuan's series of emergency measures, her condition stabilized, but there was blood clot in her brain and she needed surgery to drain the blood to prevent the blood from compressing the nerves.
However, this type of surgery is extremely risky, especially in the current medical environment. The risks of craniotomy are changing rapidly, and the slightest mistake can be life-threatening.
When she told the old lady's family about her idea, they were all frightened by her bold words.
"Open, open the skull? How is this different from suicide?"
"No, I can't. You said it yourself. It's risky. My mother is old and can't afford such a big risk."
"Princess Feng, we appreciate your kindness, but the risk is too great and we cannot afford it. Let's just leave it at that!"
Ling Yuan was mentally prepared for such a result.
Despite this, she still explained the situation clearly, but she didn't expect that the other party had already refused before she could finish.
"Although your method may be able to cure the old lady's illness, what if, what if the risk you mentioned happens to my mother?"
"We can't afford such consequences. If God wants it this way, then it has to be this way."
Ling Yuan frowned slightly, "Should we give up 80% of hope just because of that 20% risk?"
"The old lady has always been in good health. This incident happened suddenly. If she can't get timely treatment, she may have to lie in bed for the rest of her life. I think you should be aware of the consequences of this."
Even though Ling Yuan said this, everyone's expressions were still hesitant.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan said no more, picked up his medicine box, looked up and looked directly at Dingxi Hou.
"If you have thought it through, you can come to me anytime. Three days. You can have three days to think about it. After three days, the old lady's condition will deteriorate."
"Finally, it will be the common symptoms you see. At that time, not to mention me, even the Great Immortal can't save it. Goodbye!"
Dingxi Hou wanted to go forward to see her off, but Ling Yuan raised her hand to stop him: "My Lord, please stay."
Her voice was light and clear, so calm, yet it made people shudder and subconsciously follow her instructions.
As soon as Ling Yuan left, the Marquis of Dingxi burst out behind him: "My Lord, how should we deal with this matter..."
Dingxi Hou raised his hand to stop his wife from speaking, and immediately ordered his second brother beside him: "Go, call everyone over."
The second master immediately realized what the eldest brother meant, nodded, and walked out with a heavy face.
The Marquis's wife opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. She just sat there quietly, waiting.
…
The carriage from the Dingxi Marquis's Mansion took Ling Yuan to Prince Rong's Mansion. The old butler thanked him personally before turning around and leaving.
Looking at his back, Ling Yuan shook her head helplessly. It seemed that this time, there was a high probability that the old lady could not be saved.
When Princess Rong understood the situation clearly, she also sighed softly.
"The old lady is a good person. If she were to be paralyzed in bed and unable to speak, what a blow it would be to such a strong-willed woman. Ling Yuan, is this really the only solution?"
Ling Yuan nodded: "So far, there is only this method. I can do it, but others cannot. In particular, this method is not accepted by everyone because it is too risky. If there is no risk, it cannot be called a difficult disease."
"It's really horrifying. This is the first time in my life that I've heard of someone surviving after their head was opened."
Ling Yuan curled her lips in noncommittal. In ancient times, such situations were indeed rare, and if one was not careful, it could indeed cost someone's life.
But the prerequisite is that she has a medical system. Now that she has an infusion set, it greatly increases the patient's chance of survival.
Although it cannot be compared with modern times, especially the various complications during surgery are unpredictable.
However, if you do it, there is a possibility of survival. If you don’t do it, you can only lie in bed and wait to die.
She had said what she needed to say. As for whether they listened or not, and what choice they made, that depended on their intentions.
After saying goodbye to the princess, Ling Yuan returned to her room and fell asleep immediately.
On the other side, Ruyan had already returned to the palace, and Diaoyi also disappeared with Diaoman. It goes without saying where they went.
Diao Yi's identity is mysterious, and even Shangguan Qingxi is curious about it.
And there was her Liuying. Saving her was an accident, but I didn't expect to receive such a reward from her.
She once asked her where she came from. She respected her and she also respected her. Their relationship was both teacher and friend, but definitely not master and servant.
The couple was able to rescue her from the fire and quietly send her to Diao Yi's organization. They were also able to find out the lives of the innocent survivors in a short period of time, and guide and train them. This ability made Shangguan Qingxi admire them, but also extremely curious.
Diao Yi, who could he be?
Ling Yuan slept until noon the next day.
When she rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door, the two little girls immediately came forward and bowed to her, "Princess Feng, are you awake?"
Ling Yuan nodded slightly and looked at the sky. "What time is it?"
"To answer your question, Princess, it is already noon."
Noon? Oh my god, she has been sleeping for almost a whole day? This is really...
"Why didn't you wake me up? I slept for so long."
"In reply to Princess Feng, Her Majesty the Princess sees that you are exhausted and wants you to sleep a little longer. You must be hungry. Lunch is ready. Shall I bring it up?"
Ling Yuan felt her stomach and found that she was indeed hungry. She nodded and asked about Prince Rong's condition.
"The prince is now able to walk, Princess Feng, you are truly amazing. Just now, the princess and the prince were walking in the yard. Everyone in our palace would like to thank you, Princess Feng!"
Ling Yuan smiled faintly, "Where is the ghost doctor?"
"While you were sleeping, the Ghost Doctor had already left. He was taken away by His Majesty the Phoenix King himself."
Did Wei Jie take him away personally?
Ling Yuan frowned. Before she could find out the identity of this person, she was sent away by Wei Jie. Where did this guy find this person from?
It seems that she will have to wait until she returns to the palace to find out the truth about this matter.
Although Prince Rong has been deeply poisoned for fifteen years, or even longer, the poison will not take effect unless guided by special medicine.
Even if the poison takes effect, it will not have any major impact on his body if it is resolved within a certain period of time.
Therefore, as long as the mother insect is removed and the remaining poison is cleared, getting out of bed and walking will naturally be a piece of cake, and you will be able to return to normal within ten days.
What she has to do every day now is to clear out the remaining toxins, using both internal and external methods, externally using medicinal baths, acupuncture, and internally drinking Chinese medicine for conditioning.
"The prince has already taken a medicinal bath this morning and has taken two doses of medicine. Princess Feng, when will you have acupuncture?"
"I'll be there after lunch."
Ling Yuan was just about to ask if there was any news from the Dingxi Marquis' Mansion, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
If there was any real news, the princess would have come here a long time ago. It has been delayed until now, so there is probably no hope.
At that time, in Wei Jie's carriage, Shangguan Qingxi was also worried about this matter: "Alas, it's a pity for the old lady's life..."
Wei Jie raised his eyebrows, "Do you really believe that she can do it well?"
After all, it’s a craniotomy, a craniotomy!
Shangguan Qingxi was still dressed as a ghost doctor. After hearing what Wei Jie said, she glanced at him teasingly: "What about you? Do you believe her?"
Wei Jie's face darkened, "I'm asking about you."
Shangguan Qingxi sneered and patted Wei Jie on the head, "You little bastard, you have never called me mother since we met! And now you are even dragging me down with you?"
Wei Jie snorted coldly, "You said it yourself, you are no longer Du Yunge, so why should I still call you mother?"
Or calling someone younger than himself mother, just thinking about it, Wei Jie felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Oh, you little brat, you're so good, you actually think so? Are you sure you don't want to scream?" Shangguan Qingxi narrowed her eyes, with a hint of amusement in her clear eyes.
As soon as Wei Jie saw her expression, he immediately realized something. If he confronted her head-on, it would definitely be of no benefit to him. So he tactfully changed the subject.
"What is the connection between this old lady and the Du family?"
After being reminded by Wei Jie, Shangguan Qingxi knew that he was trying to change the subject, but her mind couldn't help but think of the past.
Once, before she got married, every time she attended a banquet, the old lady would always hold her hand and look at her with great loving care.
"Good girl, how wonderful it would be if you were my granddaughter-in-law? Alas..."
The old lady and her grandmother were very good friends when they were young. She originally wanted her mother to marry the Marquis of Dingxi, but unfortunately things did not go as planned. After Du Ruhui showed up unexpectedly, everyone's life trajectory changed.
Therefore, every time the old lady saw her, she would feel extremely fond of her, and sometimes even secretly complain to her.
"You two, you are such a fool. Why is it that every time my old lady takes a fancy to you, you are already picked out by someone else?"
"If I had known this would happen, I should have arranged this marriage for you when you were born. What a pity! What a pity!"
Thinking about it now, I can't help but smile. She was a lovely old lady and was extremely kind to everyone.
Although she is usually quite strong, she is forced into this. The old man died early, and if it weren't for the old lady, no one could imagine what the Dingxi Marquis' Mansion would be like today.
She is the sky of Dingxi Marquis Mansion. If the sky collapses, it means that Dingxi Marquis Mansion will collapse...
After hearing this, Wei Jie finally understood. Seeing Shangguan Qingxi's thoughtful look, he couldn't bear it and awkwardly said the first words that could be considered to comfort her since they met.
"Don't worry, Dingxi Marquis' Mansion will agree."
Sure enough, just as Ling Yuan finished her lunch, a little girl ran over panting.
When he saw her appearance, his heart suddenly tightened, and he waved her in hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
"In reply to Princess Feng, the princess invites you to the flower hall. She said someone is coming from the Dingxi Marquis's residence."
Ling Yuan didn't show any emotion on her face, but she was relieved in her heart and immediately put down her chopsticks: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Ling Yuan thought that it was the wife of Marquis Dingxi who came, but she didn't expect that Marquis Dingxi was also here, and even Prince Rong was there. She frowned immediately.
"Brother, although your health has just improved, you must not overwork yourself. It is best to stay in bed and rest."
As soon as Prince Rong saw Ling Yuan, he wanted to stand up. He didn't expect that this girl would say such words as soon as she came up, which made him feel a little amused and helpless.
"Sister-in-law, you are really strict. Okay, okay, I will go lie down in a while, okay?"
Ling Yuan snorted in annoyance, then she remembered the Dingxi Marquis and his wife beside her. When they saw her, they hurriedly saluted, but she exempted them.
"Have you two thought it through before coming to my house this time?"
After hearing this, the Queen and her husband felt ashamed and said to her, "Please forgive me, Princess Feng. I was hesitant yesterday because I was worried about my mother's health. I definitely did not doubt your ability. I hope you don't misunderstand me."
After hearing this, how could Ling Yuan not understand the truth? She immediately said, "Madam, you are too polite. This is human nature and understandable. So, have you and Madam considered coming here today?"
When the marquis' wife heard this, she quickly turned around and looked at her husband, and it happened that the marquis of Dingxi was also walking towards them.
When he came to Ling Yuan, he politely cupped his hands and bowed deeply, "Princess Feng, old lady, I'm leaving it to you!"
In fact, they were still wavering in their hearts before they even entered the door.
But when they saw Prince Rong, whom so many doctors and physicians were helpless to treat that day, now walked in front of them with the support of the princess, Marquis Dingxi suddenly made the biggest decision of his life.
"No matter what happens, you have no regrets?"
Ling Yuan raised her eyebrows and looked over. Dingxi Hou and his wife were slightly stunned, obviously not expecting her to ask this. After the couple looked at each other, Dingxi Hou gritted his teeth in determination.
"No matter what the situation is, we have no regrets and ask Princess Feng to treat my mother."
beg?
The dignified Marquis of Dingxi actually used the word "please" in front of her. It must be said that Ling Yuan was shocked.
Although she was the Princess of Phoenix, the princess of the Mei Kingdom, and the second lady of Lingjia Manor, when she arrived in Siyou Kingdom, she was just the Princess of Phoenix.
Ever since they got married, the royal family has never acknowledged her identity, and it even caused Wei Jie to keep a low profile for a while.
Her age and this honor also directly reduce her image.
Even in front of the Dingxi Marquis and his wife, she never put on airs, but these two people treated her with the etiquette that a Princess Feng should have.
It has to be said that Ling Yuan was deeply moved.
She raised her eyes with a little surprise, her gaze fixed on Marquis Dingxi, trying to spy something from his eyes.
Did he really just want to save his mother's life?
Or do you want to save the fate of Dingxi Marquis Mansion?
After all, this Old Lady Jun was a person respected even by the Empress Dowager. The Dingxi Marquisate with her in charge would naturally have a much higher status than the one without her.
Marquis Dingxi, what kind of mentality does he have?
"Princess Feng? Princess Feng? But, but my mother's illness, is there any danger that you haven't mentioned?"
Seeing that Ling Yuan was just staring at them without saying anything, Dingxi Hou frowned slightly and asked a little nervously.
Ling Yuan came back to his senses at this point, and thought that he still couldn't change his habitual suspicion when he was the ghost doctor, especially when facing relatives and royal family members, his mind always worked faster than usual, and he immediately sneered at himself.
When he looked up again, he had returned to being a simple doctor.
"Please rest assured, my Lord. Since my Lord and Madam have already discussed this, I naturally have no right to refuse."
"Well, please go back to your house and help me find a place with good lighting, a quiet environment, good ventilation, and suitable for recuperation."
"The old lady's illness is very complicated. I need to make some preparations before going there. How about tomorrow?"
The Marquis's wife just opened her mouth but was interrupted by the Marquis, who immediately spoke to her cheerfully.
"Then I'll have to trouble Princess Feng. I'll go back and make the arrangements right away. If Princess Feng has any further instructions, please feel free to contact me."
"Well, we won't bother you anymore. Goodbye, Your Highness Prince Rong, Your Highness Princess, we would like to thank you both here. Please take good care of yourself, Your Highness. We will come to thank you another day."
Dingxi Hou refused their farewell and strode away with his wife. He was in a hurry, obviously in a hurry to go back and prepare the room according to Ling Yuan's request. No matter how you look at it, it seems that he is worried about his mother, not...
Haha, she was really worrying too much. No matter why Marquis Dingxi agreed, wasn’t this the result she expected?
Even though Marquis Dingxi is a marquis, and even though he cares about the entire marquisate, he is still the old lady's son after all. This is an indisputable fact.
As an outsider, why should she ask other people's ultimate goal?
Tsk, she really is getting more and more bored as time goes by. As long as everyone’s ultimate goal is the same, isn’t that enough?
