It turns out this old man's name is Bald Qiang.
Xiao Tang looked at the old man's shiny bald head and nodded slightly.
She smiled meaningfully, "No need, just prepare a fire for me later."
After she finished speaking, she went inside.
The aunt rushed over and angrily scolded him, only to be met with a disdainful retort from the old man, "What are you yelling about? She's the Regent's Consort."
After entering the room, Xiao Tang immediately disinfected Yan Shi's wound.
Killing the poison from these wounds is simple; you just need fire.
Bald Qiang carefully carried the brazier in, not daring to even glance at the person on the bed, and ran away as fast as he could.
He was ordered to stay here because there was plenty of money; he and his wife were getting old and had nowhere else to go.
Xiao Tang watched the old man's scurrying figure with unusual calm.
Take out a thick, long silver needle, sterilize it over a fire, and insert it accurately into the man's wound.
Each needle prick was accompanied by a muffled groan from the man.
She clicked her tongue: "That's terrible."
They continued until all the white worms in the wound were threaded onto silver needles and thrown into the brazier.
It took her a full half hour to clean all the visible Gu worms from the man's wound.
Bald Qiang and his wife outside the door were stunned.
"The Regent's wife's methods of treating illness are quite reckless!"
"Shh, the princess can hear you!"
"The princess is a miracle doctor, she deserves our respect." Her husband's eyes lit up. "Shall we ask the princess to treat your rheumatism later?"
"And while you're at it, could you also treat my goiter?"
She touched her noticeably large neck.
At this moment, Xiao Tang was immersed in detoxification and had no time to pay attention, but she still listened and took notes.
She would never miss any opportunity to increase her points!
...
Night fell.
After Xiao Tang prepared the antidote and forcibly poured it into Yan Shi's mouth, she went to disinfect herself and took off her protective clothing.
When I took it off, I realized it was soaked with sweat inside.
Summers in ancient times weren't actually that hot, but with the addition of a protective suit, they became extremely stuffy.
Fortunately, this was in a village, where even the summer night was undeniably cool.
Xiao Tang then rushed off to treat Bald Qiang and his wife.
On the other side, the Regent's Palace.
Di Jingling pinched the bridge of her nose, staring at the bland dishes on the table, and suddenly thought of Xiao Tang's richly colored dishes.
He frowned deeply, staring at the food in front of him, and hesitated to pick up his chopsticks.
Yan Jiu stood there, eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is the food not to your liking? Shall we have the kitchen change it?"
It's a ghost story.
With the princess away, the prince seemed rather absent-minded.
The man then asked, "Any news from the medicine shop?"
"This..." It really was for the sake of the princess.
"Is Xiao Tang crying and begging for mercy, wanting to come back?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Jiu subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
His thin lips twitched twice, but no sound came out.
Only when he was met with the Regent's intensely displeased gaze did he awkwardly speak:
"The princess... didn't cry and sob. It's said that she was chatting happily with the old man who looked after the medicine shop."
"It is said that... the princess also treated the couple's illnesses, and they liked her very much."
After saying that, the man at the table chuckled and said, "Huh?"
He gave a cold laugh.
The temperature in the entire study seemed to drop to freezing point.
The summer night breeze, which should have been scorching hot, was now chillingly cool.
For the first time, Yan Jiu suddenly wished that the Princess Consort would return to the manor soon...
"How's the investigation into Di Yanhen's matter going?" Di Jingling didn't want to mention Xiao Tang anymore.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt an urge to bring that woman back.
It's not that Xiao Tang really has anything particularly charming about her.
But without Xiao Tang, his role as regent has inexplicably lost some of its fun.
