Chapter 299 Need a Bodyguard
The one who opened the door was Song Yulang. Li Sanniang could tell at a glance that Song Yulang must not have been resting well recently, as the dark circles under his eyes looked like he had been punched.
When Li San Niang saw Jiu Niang still lying listlessly on the bed, her heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Oh no."
Because Li San Niang recently started learning acupuncture from Doctor Liang, she was also taught by Doctor Liang.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation," and the skill required for "observation" is particularly profound.
For example, right now, Li San Niang could see the deathly aura on Jiu Niang's face.
Jiu Niang won't live much longer.
When Jiu Niang saw that it was Li San Niang who had come while she was lying on the headboard, she tried to sit up.
"Why get up? I'm not an outsider, just lie down."
Hearing this, Jiu Niang stopped trying to sit up, because she was in such a state that she really couldn't get up on her own.
Linglan thoughtfully moved a chair and stool to the bedside so that Li Sanniang could sit down comfortably.
After asking about her daily life, Li San Niang took the measuring tape handed to her by Qiu Xiang and said to Jiu Niang, "Lie down first, and I'll measure your waistline and abdomen."
Finally, Li San Niang began to examine the pulse, and as soon as she did, the situation was indeed very unfavorable.
But for a doctor, remaining expressionless is essential.
After taking Jiu Niang's pulse, Li San Niang smiled and said, "I recently apprenticed to a master and learned the art of acupuncture. I tested it on that live rabbit before, and then on myself. It is effective."
If you're not afraid of these needles, I can give you a few to ease your discomfort and allow your child more time to grow.
Jiu Niang first congratulated Li San Niang: "I also heard Ling Lan mention the midwife school that San Niangzi runs, it's quite prestigious."
"Haha, it's alright, it's alright."
Li San Niang also looked towards Ling Lan and received a sweet smile from her.
Seeing that Jiu Niang agreed, Song Yulang did not object. Li San Niang took out the gold needle pouch from her bosom, burned it with a candle flame, and only inserted the needles after it had cooled down.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiu Niang fell asleep.
Linglan stepped forward and covered Jiu Niang with a blanket. Li San Niang also explained to Qi Zhidie and the others standing around: "Jiu Niang must not have rested well for several nights in a row. It must be because the baby in her belly is growing big and pressing on her internal organs."
I gave her the acupuncture and told her to get some sleep. There's no need to wake her; she'll wake up on her own tomorrow.
Jiu Niang was already petite, and with her five-month-old pregnancy and protruding belly, she looked even more delicate and frail.
"This acupuncture did indeed help her sleep and rest, but as you can see, she looked quite different. Next time she comes, I will use a different acupuncture method to stimulate the life force in her body and help the child grow."
Be prepared. These days, whatever she wants to eat or asks for, just give it to her. Next time, she might not have the energy to chat with me like this.”
After giving her instructions, Li San Niang returned to her room. As she entered, she saw Mr. Bu Ke, still dressed in white, looking as handsome as ever.
However, Mr. Bu Ke's current dark complexion is comparable to that of Song Yulang.
"Sir, are you well?" x3
"Third Sister, are you well?"
Without saying much, Li San Niang quickly took out the report on cowpox that she had promised Mr. Bu Ke earlier from her medical kit.
"Everything is here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."
"Third Sister is very righteous. If this method is really effective, then the millions of people of the Tang Dynasty will be grateful to you."
Li San Niang dared not accept such a great merit, and quickly said, "No, no, no, I just want to contribute to my own ideals, I am not some saint with the world in my heart. Please don't put a label on me, sir, that's not possible."
"Haha, Third Sister, the longer I know you, the more I find you to be an interesting person."
Li San Niang glanced at Mr. Bu Ke and saw that although he had dark circles under his eyes and looked exhausted, he still had the mind to joke with her. So he must be in a good mood, or rather, the situation was under control.
So, Li San Niang spoke up, looking up at Mr. Bu Ke respectfully and asking, "Sir, yesterday my second brother, my father, and I treated the injuries of several people together."
Judging from the dark circles under your eyes, it must be that the Temple Gate has returned.
Mr. Bu Ke had no idea that Li San Niang would bring up the matter of the Temple Gate with him.
Mr. Bu Ke thought for a moment. When he was still in the palace meeting Emperor Wu, he reported to Emperor Wu about the spies and members of the Holy Temple Gate that the Bad People had recently found in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, especially in Chang'an.
When Emperor Wu heard about the Temple Gate, he didn't even raise an eyebrow. At most, when it came to the recent increase in thefts in the palace, and the fact that there were Temple Gate rats who had been bribed or planted, he chuckled and said, "It seems I haven't killed enough."
Alright, Cecilia, just leave this mess to Xue Yao.
"Look at you, you're exhausted and have damaged your health. Haven't I lost a capable minister?"
Later, when Mr. Bu Ke told him about the pie in the sky that Li San Niang had painted for him, which included information about alcohol, cowpox, and penicillin, Emperor Wu immediately looked up, his eyes like searchlights, staring at the manuscript that Mr. Bu Ke was holding, which turned out to be the manuscript that Li San Niang had given him.
"Your Excellency, bring it here quickly so I can see it."
Emperor Wu couldn't wait to snatch the manuscript from Wang Da Dang's hands and start reading it while still standing.
As Emperor Wu watched, he mentally displayed the following message: "Damn it, after all these years, finally someone with a sense of righteousness has emerged. I've been waiting for so long."
"This woman is capable. I will remember her. From now on, whenever there is any news about her, she shall report to me."
"promise."
Mr. No shook his head, trying to shake off the thoughts that had just crossed his mind.
Li San Niang is now officially on Emperor Wu's side. Since she is a very useful person, what's wrong with sharing a few more messages?
"Third Sister, don't worry."
Right now, you're on the list not only with the Bad People, but also with Emperor Wu.
Your safety is absolutely guaranteed. Qiu Xiang and Nineteen are there openly, and I've also sent people to protect you secretly."
Seeing the worried expression on Li Sanniang's face, Mr. Ke paused for a moment and then looked at her, adding, "As for the Temple Gate, their comeback this time is nothing but a chicken and a dog."
The Tang Dynasty is not a place where they can run wild.
"Sir, I am not worried about myself. I know that I am always protected by someone, and my safety is guaranteed."
My concern is for my closest family members. I have you all to protect me, but they don't."
