When Physician Chen heard Su Ruojin say this, it felt like he had been slapped hard across the face.
If the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital could truly treat or alleviate the princess's pain, they wouldn't have allowed this Lady Jiang to appear here, and the princess wouldn't still be screaming in pain.
After Su Ruojin finished speaking, she turned to leave, but the butler panicked and rushed forward to stop her.
“Madam Jiang, since you’re already here, please give it a try. The princess has been in pain for almost two days now; it’s unbearable for anyone. I hope you’ll be magnanimous and not take it to heart.”
If he really lets Madam Jiang go, how can he bear the blame when the Imperial Preceptor finds out?
"Butler, I've already said I can treat him, but everyone else has to step aside." Su Ruojin insisted; with someone watching, how could she possibly play her game?
When Physician Chen heard the steward say this, his face instantly darkened. Wasn't the steward indirectly criticizing him for making trouble for no reason?
Before he could say anything more, Dean Bao spoke up, "Let's step down."
Physician Chen was anxious. "Your Excellency, how can we entrust the princess to someone who has appeared out of nowhere? What if something happens to the princess? We can't bear the responsibility!"
The Imperial Physician Bao glanced at Physician Chen and said, "If you can relieve the princess's pain now, I will immediately have someone invite this Madam Jiang to leave."
Physician Chen was speechless. If he had such skill, he wouldn't have waited until now; he would have jumped out to show off his abilities long ago.
After saying this, Dean Bao turned and left the room. Seeing that the dean had left first, the others followed suit.
Physician Chen glanced at Su Ruojin, snorted coldly, and said, "Madam Jiang, I'll see how capable you are in a moment." He then turned and left.
Seeing this, the steward breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Su Ruojin, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Madam Jiang." He then led the other maids and servants out of the room and closed the door.
"No...don't...go." Yuening called out weakly, but no one paid any attention to her by then.
After everyone left, only Su Ruojin, Yan Luo, and Aya remained in the room.
Yuening's lips were pale with pain, and her eyes were filled with fear. "Zhao... Zhao Ruojin, what... what do you want to do? I... I warn you, I am... I am a princess. If you dare to touch me, the Empress Dowager will never, ever let you go!"
Su Ruojin slowly walked to the bedside, looked down at Yue Ning, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"Princess Yuening, how does it feel to reap what you sow? You have so many male lovers, yet you're still not satisfied, and you even want to steal my husband. You drugged me, trying to ruin my reputation, and then had someone poison me, trying to kill me. Now you're tasting the bitterness of it all, how does it feel?"
"You! You really did it! Ah!" Yuening couldn't catch her breath and coughed incessantly. The coughing made her abdomen hurt even more, and she couldn't help but scream.
Su Ruojin didn't do anything, just watched as Yue Ning's forehead and back were soaked with sweat from the pain.
After Yue Ning recovered from the pain, her mind cleared for a moment, and she realized a crucial question: "How do you know medicine?"
The investigation she sent revealed that Zhao Ruojin was merely a merchant's wife, and there was no indication that she possessed medical skills.
“Princess, you are a little slow to react. If I didn’t know medicine, why would your household have asked me to treat you? But seeing that it’s just a minor ailment, there’s no need for me to do anything, Yanluo.”
"Yes, Madam." Yanluo took out a silver needle and walked towards Yuening, her eyes filled with hatred.
It was this Princess Yuening who almost caused her to lose her fertility. Her mistress asked her to take action, giving her a chance to get revenge, so how could she waste it?
At this moment, Yuening remembered that the servant had said the Gu poison had been administered to Zhao Ruojin's maid. Seeing Yanluo's appearance, her pupils dilated instantly. "It's you! Weren't you poisoned? Why aren't you dead yet?"
Yan Luo smiled, but her eyes were icy cold. "I'm not dead. Have I disappointed the princess?"
"Impossible, impossible, you clearly fell for the Imperial Preceptor's..." At this point, Yuening regained her senses and swallowed the rest of her words.
