Xiao Yanchu did not go with Su Ruojin this time, but sent Hu Qing instead, as he had other things to do.
Upon arriving at the princess's residence, the steward quickly led Su Ruojin to the princess's room.
Before even reaching the room, one could hear Yuening's painful wails, though her voice was hoarse, suggesting she had been screaming for a long time until her throat was hoarse.
Actually, this was the result of Yuening's screams for a whole day and night. At the beginning, her howls could be heard throughout the entire princess's residence.
Upon entering the room, they found it crowded with imperial physicians, all with furrowed brows, whispering amongst themselves, presumably discussing how to alleviate the princess's pain.
When the housekeeper brought in a woman named Su Ruojin, everyone stopped talking and looked at Su Ruojin.
Both Imperial Physician Bao and Physician Wang felt that the woman in front of them looked familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen her before.
Another imperial physician couldn't help but ask, "Steward, who is this?"
The steward replied politely, "Reporting to Physician Chen, this is Madam Jiang, who has come to examine the princess."
Physician Chen glanced at Su Ruojin, his eyes full of disdain. "How come I've never heard of any famous female doctors in Xiaoyue?"
The steward smiled obsequiously, "Imperial Physician Chen, this is someone the Imperial Preceptor instructed me to invite."
Upon hearing that the Imperial Advisor had sent someone to invite him, Physician Chen said nothing more, but his gaze toward Su Ruojin remained haughty.
He wanted to see just how skilled the female doctor invited by the Imperial Advisor was, and whether she could outperform the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital.
Su Ruojin didn't care what the imperial physicians were thinking; she was just there to watch the show.
She stepped forward, intending to make a show of taking Yuening's pulse, but as soon as Yuening saw her, she screamed in terror, "Zhao Ruojin, it's you! What are you doing here? Guards, guards, drag her out and kill her! Kill her! Kill her... Ahhh—!"
Before Yuening could finish speaking, another wave of abdominal pain hit her, causing her to scream out in pain once more.
Upon hearing Yuening's words, Su Ruojin stood still, looking at the housekeeper, her meaning clear.
The steward panicked. The Imperial Advisor had sent him to invite Su Ruojin, and he had even killed four guards to do so. But now the princess wouldn't allow him to treat her. What could he do?
Remembering the Imperial Advisor's instructions: no matter what, the princess must receive treatment from Madam Jiang.
Thinking of this, the steward gritted his teeth and said, "Someone, help the princess up and ask Madam Jiang to treat her."
The steward was a new person sent to the princess's residence by the Empress Dowager. Everyone knew that the steward's orders were also the Empress Dowager's will. A nanny stepped forward and said, "Princess, please forgive me."
With a wave of her hand, the maids and nannies beside her, regardless of whether Princess Yuening cried out or not, quickly restrained her.
The imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were at their wits' end. Even the servants hoped that someone could cure the princess's illness, otherwise they would all be buried alive with her. Hope was better than despair.
"How dare you! You dare to disobey your superiors... Ah—!!" Yu Ning was already in so much pain that she didn't have much strength left. Now that she was being held down by a group of maids and servants, she had no chance to resist.
"Zhao...Zhao Ruojin, you...you can forget about harming me again! I...I will make the Empress Dowager kill you!"
Yuening was in so much pain that she was pale and didn't have the strength to curse. With so many people holding her down, she could only glare fiercely at Su Ruojin and let her take her pulse.
After taking her pulse, a hint of mockery flashed in Su Ruojin's eyes.
Yuening is really playing dirty tricks. Her uterus was damaged to such an extent, and she herself is partly to blame.
An ordinary woman, even facing three guards, could not have been injured like this.
Seeing Su Ruojin withdraw her hand, the butler hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Madam Jiang, how is the princess?"
