"Five-Nail Sealing Technique," Su Ruojin said simply.
She was actually quite surprised when she saw the five silver needles.
She had discovered the abnormality in Zhao Tingyi's pulse during her previous pulse diagnosis, thanks in large part to the man who carried his father to the Tianyi Pavilion for medical treatment.
At the time, the patient was also unconscious, and the cause of the illness could not be found. There were no injuries on his body.
Later, when the man was dying, Su Ruojin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She remembered that the man's hair had not been checked. She untied his hair and carefully felt around to examine it, only to find that there was a needle stuck in his head.
That was the longest sewing needle. As for why the needle ended up in the man's father's head, that's a matter for the authorities.
At that time, the man's pulse was very similar to Zhao Tingyi's.
That's why Su Ruojin immediately searched through Zhao Tingyi's hair, and sure enough, she found it.
However, Zhao Tingyi's symptoms were somewhat different from those of the man's father who came to seek medical treatment.
It wasn't until Su Ruojin found such a thin silver needle in his hairline that she realized something was different.
The Five Nails Sealing Technique was something Su Ruojin was encountering for the first time; she had only heard her master mention it before.
Legend has it that a Taoist priest, who was skilled in traditional Chinese medicine, created the Five Nails Sealing Technique by combining it with the Taoist Five Elements and Eight Trigrams to alleviate the pain of patients during treatment.
The practitioner must be proficient in the Taoist Five Elements and Eight Trigrams techniques and the art of traditional Chinese medicine; neither can be lacking. Otherwise, inserting silver needles into the brain will not only fail to induce unconsciousness but may also harm the person's life.
Therefore, there are not many people in the world who can perform the Five Nails Sealing Technique.
Su Ruojin had only heard about this unique acupuncture technique from her master, and today was the first time she had ever witnessed it.
Seeing these needles, Zhao Guangtao understood everything; his eyes were filled with anger.
It seems someone has their eye on Yi'er.
If that's the case, then Yi'er's fall from his horse while hunting might not have been a simple accident.
Zhao Guangtao told Su Ruojin about his doubts.
Su Ruojin nodded, "I can't rule out that possibility. I'll try to wake my cousin up first, maybe he'll know something."
"Xiao Jin, your great-uncle is counting on you."
Zhao Guangtao's eyes gleamed with excitement; Zhao Tingyi was his most valued grandson.
Over the course of a year, the Zhao family invited countless doctors to treat Yi'er, and almost every doctor sighed and shook their heads after examining him, with no one saying that there was any possibility that Yi'er would wake up.
At this moment, Zhao Guangtao regretted not inviting Xiao Jin to Yunqi sooner, so that Yi'er might have woken up sooner.
Zhao Jingning wiped away her tears and said repeatedly, "That's wonderful, Jin-mei, thank you, thank you."
Su Ruojin performed acupuncture on Zhao Tingyi and wrote out a prescription. "Yanluo, have someone send the medicinal herbs over as soon as possible."
"Yes, Miss." Yanluo knew, of course, that Miss meant to have the people from Tianyi Pavilion deliver the medicine.
Zhao Jingning hurriedly said, "No need to trouble yourself. There are plenty of medicines in the Zhao family's storeroom. Just tell me what you need, and I'll have someone bring it to you."
As the richest family in Yunqi, the Zhao family owns many pharmacies. The Zhao family's warehouse is filled with a wide variety of medicines, including 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, and other rare medicinal materials that cannot be bought on the market.
Su Ruojin shook her head, "There shouldn't be any in the manor."
Zhao Tingyi used some common medicinal materials that could be bought at any pharmacy, but two key ingredients were not common and Tianyi Pavilion only had a small quantity of them.
Zhao Jingning was somewhat incredulous; were there really medicinal herbs that the Zhao family didn't possess?
"Why don't you tell me the names of the medicinal herbs, Jin-mei? Maybe we have them in the manor."
"One Spirit Herb and one Spirit Gathering Flower, one of each will suffice." Su Ruojin didn't stand on ceremony and directly named the herbs. If the Zhao family really had them, that would be even better.
"I'll have the butler check it out."
"good."
A short while later, Steward Lu came over carrying a thick register of medicinal herbs, looking rather unwell.
“Young Miss, the two herbs you mentioned are ones that our Zhao family’s pharmacies have never purchased.”
Zhao Jingning was stunned. She hadn't heard of the medicinal herbs when Su Ruojin mentioned them before.
