Chen Yunniang trembled with fear. If Princess Zhaohua were to die because of her, the prince would definitely not let her off the hook.
"Your Highness, please invite my cousin in. She is a skilled physician and will surely be able to cure the princess's illness."
Although she didn't want to admit that Su Yujiao was a very good doctor, the situation was critical and she had to admit it.
"Send it quickly!"
The Prince of Cheng was terrified as he watched his daughter convulsing. It would take a while for the imperial physician to arrive, so he could only send someone skilled in medicine to take a look.
Even though he didn't trust the woman's medical skills, the situation was urgent and he had no other choice.
Su Yujiao followed the maid from the Prince's mansion into the young princess's room. Seeing the child convulsing, she didn't even bother with the proper etiquette and immediately rushed to the bedside.
She used her sleeve to remove the foreign object from the little princess's mouth, and then fixed the child in a side-lying position with her head turned to one side to facilitate the discharge of secretions.
"Bring a basin of cold water, and then bring a basin of warm water."
"If you have any strong liquor, you should bring it too."
"yes."
"Go get paper and pen."
Princess Consort pointed to the table next to her: "There are paper and pens over there."
Su Yujiao quickly wrote out a prescription and told them to decoct the medicine immediately.
Princess Cheng looked at the neat and beautiful handwriting on the prescription, which was completely different from the one written by Chen Yunniang, so she hesitated.
Everyone says Chen Yunniang is a miracle doctor, so how could a miracle doctor's prescription be wrong?!
Even if she herself admits that she is not good at medicine and is only good at making medicine, she is still better than this general's wife who has never been heard of as having medical skills, right?
Therefore, she handed Chen Yunniang's prescription to Su Yujiao.
Su Yujiao glanced at it and said, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can wait for the imperial physician to come."
"Have them compare these two prescriptions and see which one is more effective."
"I'm not afraid of comparisons, I'm just afraid of missing the best time for treatment."
“The princess is still young. If the fever continues, the consequences will be unimaginable. Her eyes will become crooked and her mouth will turn into a madwoman, which would be the least of her worries. In severe cases, it could be fatal.”
The princess was so frightened that her face changed drastically. The prince glared at her sharply and immediately ordered his servants to prepare the medicine.
"Both cold and warm water are here."
"We've already sent people to buy spirits."
Su Yujiao soaked a towel in cold water and placed it on the little princess's forehead. Then she asked all the men to leave and used warm water to wipe the child's body to lower her temperature physically.
Soon, the little princess stopped convulsing, and her symptoms subsided considerably.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Physician Zhou arrived, panting. When he saw Su Yujiao, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the general's wife here, there's absolutely no need to call him over!
However, as was customary, he took the young princess's pulse and concluded that her fever was too high, which was why she was convulsing. He said that as long as the fever was brought down in time, she would be fine.
The princess quickly took the two prescriptions and showed them to Physician Zhou.
Imperial Physician Zhou pointed directly at the prescription written by Chen Yunniang and asked, "Which quack doctor wrote this? Won't this delay the patient's treatment?"
"Fever due to wind-cold can be divided into internal heat and external heat. The little princess clearly has internal heat, while this prescription is for treating external heat. It is a very basic prescription."
"The treatment effect can only be achieved by changing the herbs and dosages on the basic prescription according to the patient's condition."
"This guy is obviously a quack who knows a little bit about medicine but comes out to pretend to be a doctor."
"Hmph, if medicine were so easy to learn, everyone could cure diseases and dispense medicine."
Physician Zhou had no idea that the prescription was written by Chen Yunniang. He thought it was some quack who was pretending to know what he didn't, which delayed the patient's treatment and was tantamount to endangering her life.
These quack doctors are the most hateful!
"This prescription, however, is exactly what I'm looking for and has an excellent effect. This person's medical skills are definitely no less than mine."
"Fortunately, the Prince's Palace invited such a renowned doctor, otherwise the young princess would have been in grave danger."
Physician Zhou praised Su Yujiao's prescription highly, and even silently memorized it, so that he would be more experienced in dealing with infantile convulsions next time.
Princess Consort of the City listened to Physician Zhou's assessment and looked at Chen Yunniang kneeling in the corner in astonishment.
how so?
Isn't she a miracle doctor?
Judging from what Physician Zhou said, she didn't know any medicine at all, or perhaps she had only read two medical books.
But how could someone who has only read a few medical books be able to develop a medicine to prevent plagues?
"Imperial Physician Zhou, there is something I don't understand."
"Your Highness, please ask!" Physician Zhou asked respectfully.
Princess Consort of the City pondered how to ask her question in a way that would allow her to clearly express her meaning.
"I would like to ask, which is more difficult: treating people's illnesses or developing medicines?"
Physician Zhou smiled slightly: "Naturally, developing medicine is much more difficult, and it's not just a little more difficult; the difference in difficulty between the two is like heaven and earth."
"Let me use myself as an example."
"I come from a family of doctors and have been learning medicine since I was a child. Now that I am over fifty, I am still studying various medical books."
"I have studied medicine all my life, but I have not been able to develop any remarkable prescriptions for future generations to admire."
"There are countless clinics on the street, but finding one that can develop medicines is one in a million."
The princess's face turned extremely ugly: "Are you saying that someone with poor medical skills simply cannot develop a prescription?"
"That's inevitable!"
"You're someone who can't even feed himself, and you expect him to cook? That's a joke!"
Princess Cheng pointed fiercely at Chen Yunniang, who was trembling in the corner: "What's wrong with her?"
"Wasn't she a county princess personally appointed by the emperor?"
"Didn't they say she developed a medicine to control the plague?"
"But now she can't even cure a common cold, and she almost cost the princess her life!"
Only then did Physician Zhou see Chen Yunniang kneeling behind the door, and he was immediately terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat.
How are we going to handle this?
If this matter were to reach the Emperor, would the Crown Prince blame him?
Physician Zhou glanced at Su Yujiao, casting a pleading look in his eyes!
Su Yujiao gave him a reassuring look.
She wanted to hear how Chen Yunniang would try to explain herself.
"Your Highness, Yunniang's medical skills are indeed lacking. It was only by chance that she developed the medicine to prevent the plague."
"I have said before that I am not good at medicine."
"However, it is a fact that I saved the lives of countless ordinary people."
"Your Highness cannot deny my contributions during the plague simply because I cannot cure a cold."
Princess Consort Cheng was so angry that she smashed a teacup when she saw that the princess still dared to be so arrogant: "Physician Zhou said that people who do not know medicine cannot develop a prescription at all."
"You shameless woman, you still dare to argue? I will go to the Emperor and expose you right now."
"You, who have no medical skills, dare to pretend to be a goddess doctor. It's ridiculous."
"In my opinion, Madam Lu is the true goddess of medicine."
When Chen Yunniang heard the Princess Consort of the City praising Su Yujiao, she was so angry that her face turned pale. Did this bitch want to steal her title as a divine doctor?
"If the princess is not afraid of offending the crown prince and the general, then go to the palace and report it."
The room fell silent upon hearing this!
Su Yujiao sneered. This fool actually dragged the Crown Prince down with her just to protect herself.
