"Empress, the doctors all said it was fine. Could it be that you were deceived?"
"Who on earth is this little girl? At her age, even if she had studied medicine since she was born, she wouldn't be able to learn anything."
The one who was speaking was Concubine Shu, one of the four concubines. She was a person with big breasts and no brains.
If I didn’t have a father who was a great general, I would have died many times.
*** looked at Concubine Shu unhappily: "Your Highness, Concubine Shu, are you saying that I am deliberately framing you?"
"Don't be angry, ***. I didn't mean that." Concubine Shu looked at *** and was still a little scared of this ***.
The Queen also calmed down and glanced at Qiu Yinong before asking again, "Royal sister, can you tell me the identity of this girl?"
"Empress, let me introduce you myself."
"My daughter is Qiu Yinong, the niece of Qiu Ziru, the Deputy Minister of the Imperial Academy."
"Is the Deputy Director of the Imperial Astronomy Department the same Magistrate Qiu who was transferred to the capital for his great achievements?"
Concubine Shu looked at Qiu Yinong curiously, and Qiu Yinong was also a little curious. She didn't expect that her second uncle was so famous that even the women in the harem knew him.
*** nodded: "It's that Mr. Qiu."
"But I remember that he only had one sister, didn't he? She seemed to be betrothed to the son of the Minister of Rites?"
"Yes." Qiu Yinong responded.
Then he continued, "More than ten years ago, my daughter and my family got separated from my second uncle and his family when we were fleeing famine. We just recently returned after searching for our relatives."
"Oh, then you are quite lucky. You didn't acknowledge your relatives long ago, and now your second uncle is an official in Beijing, so he comes to acknowledge you." Concubine Shu sneered in a sarcastic tone.
Qiu Yinong was not angry either, and she held her angry fist with her little hand.
"My Lady Consort Shu, please don't bother with my daughter's family. Are you here to claim your kinship just to get close to my second uncle?"
"My daughter inherited the Thirteen Needles of Taiyi. All she has learned are unique skills from the medical field. The fact that the dean and his men were unable to diagnose my pulse is not because their medical skills are not up to par."
"This poison actually originates from a certain flower native to the Western Rong region. It's only natural that the imperial physicians don't know the cause."
"If you are not a Xirong doctor who is proficient in this poison or knows about it, I am afraid it will be difficult to distinguish it."
The virtuous concubine looked at Qiu Yinong again, her eyes cold.
She really knew what the poison was.
Damn it.
Qiu Yinong met her eyes again, and Concubine Xian was shocked.
This girl is really weird. Why did she look at me twice? Does she know something?
The virtuous concubine suddenly became panicked, and Qiu Yinong quickly withdrew her gaze.
Concubine Shu frowned and was about to speak when the Queen stopped her: "Miss Qiu, you mean you can cure this poison, right?"
"Yes." Qiu Yinong said affirmatively.
The dean also looked at Qiu Yinong and said nothing else.
A doctor standing nearby frowned and said, "How dare you, at such a young age, boast like that!"
"The Thirteen Needles of Taiyi have long been lost, and our dean only knows the first two."
"How dare a little girl like you boast so much and inherit the Thirteen Taiyi Needles?"
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't."
"Showa, do you really want her to detoxify your mother?" The Queen raised her hand to stop the doctor and looked at ***.
*** looked back at the Queen and nodded directly: "I only believe in Yi'er."
"Why is the Queen so protective of this little girl?" Concubine Shu was also curious.
The Queen Mother looked at Qiu Yinong tenderly and said with a smile, "I have brought Yi'er to the palace today specifically to show Mother. I like this girl very much and intend to adopt her as my adopted daughter."
"Adopted daughter!" The queen and everyone else were dumbfounded.
Including the imperial physician who had previously ridiculed and questioned Qiu Yinong, he suddenly became panicked.
*** is a very protective person. He offended Miss Qiu, and he...
The Queen thought for a moment, then looked at the Queen Mother lying unconscious on the bed, and finally nodded and said, "Since it's someone brought by Zhaohe, and you trust her so much, let the little girl try."
*** looked at Qiu Yinong and said gently, "Go ahead. I'm here with you, so just go ahead and do it without worry."
Qiu Yinong nodded, bowed to the queen, turned around and sat down again, and took out the silver needle she carried with her.
The head of the Imperial Hospital also stood by and watched carefully. Qiu Yinong glanced at the head of the hospital and said, "Uncle, please be careful. I will only teach you once. You don't have internal strength, so I'm afraid you can only learn the first five needles at most."
"But it's enough for you." As she said this, she began to insert the needle.
The dean became more and more excited as he looked at it. He said in a trembling voice, "It really is the Thirteen Taiyi Needles. It really is."
His eyes changed when he looked at Qiu Yinong, and the imperial physician who had spoken blushed even more.
Every needle Qiu Yinong inserted contained her internal strength, and she even injected a trace of life force to improve the empress dowager's hidden illness.
The Queen Mother's complexion improved visibly, even becoming rosy.
A quarter of an hour later, Qiu Yinong withdrew the needle.
He gave the Queen Mother an antidote pill and then slapped her on the back.
The Queen Mother opened her eyes, opened her mouth, and spurted out another large mouthful of thick, black, smelly blood.
"Mother!" The Queen and the Empress called out in surprise at the same time. At the same time, Emperor Yongsheng also stepped into the bedroom.
"Mother!" Emperor Yongsheng hurried forward and supported the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother smiled and patted the back of his hand, and the previous feeling of drowsiness and weakness disappeared completely.
At this moment, the Queen Mother felt that her whole body was full of strength: "Emperor, this time it is thanks to your sister that she brought Yi'er into the palace."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be in great danger."
