Qingyun experienced abdominal pain and vomiting on her way back, all because the medicine Lin Wanqing had given her was taking effect.
Earlier, when Qingyun stopped her from getting close to Princess Fengxi, Lin Wanqing took the opportunity to smear the purging powder on Qingyun's wrist.
This is a basic poison that her master taught her to concoct. It won't kill anyone; it will only cause vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea for a day. Even without taking the medicine, the person will naturally recover after a day.
Because it was applied to the wrist rather than taken orally, the medication would take effect more slowly, and since it was her first time using it, she wasn't sure when the symptoms would start.
Lin Wanqing could only slowly follow the carriage of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, gambling on when the medicine would take effect.
If the effects of the Qingyun medicine do not take hold along the way, she will have to think of other solutions.
Fortunately, fate was on her side; Qingyun got off the carriage halfway there, and her chance had come.
A short while later, Qingyun returned, clutching her stomach, supported by Hongya.
A gust of wind blew by, and a faint stench wafted through the air.
The old woman couldn't help but take out her handkerchief and cover her nose. At that moment, she realized why Qingyun had run so fast.
As Qingyun was Princess Fengxi's head maid, the nanny dared not neglect her and stepped forward to ask, "Miss Qingyun, is this young lady a doctor? Perhaps she could take a look at you."
Just as Qingyun was about to speak, her brows furrowed, and she turned and rushed into the woods.
The nanny was also anxious; what should she do?
When Qingyun came out again, her lips were pale and her body was trembling.
Lin Wanqing was unwilling to delay any longer and took the initiative to speak: "Miss, could you please give me acupuncture to stop your diarrhea first?"
At this moment, Qingyun didn't care about anything else and weakly nodded.
After getting into the carriage, Lin Wanqing took out silver needles and pricked Qingyun's body with several needles, and then took out a pill for her to take.
The acupuncture was just a bluff; the antidote pill was the real key.
After the procedure, Qingyun felt that her abdomen was less painful than before, and she felt much more comfortable.
"What's your name, young lady? Thank you so much this time." Qingyun finally had the strength to speak.
Lin Wanqing slowly withdrew her silver needles: "My name is Lin Wanqing. My father is the magistrate of Yanyang County, and my master is Cai Fanzhou, a famous doctor in Yanyang. I came to Ruien Academy to take the exam today and happened to meet you, young lady."
Upon hearing Lin Wanqing's introduction, Qingyun showed a hint of admiration: "So you are Dr. Lin. No wonder your medical skills are so excellent. Qingyun thanks Dr. Lin."
Lin Wanqing smiled slightly: "Miss Qingyun, there's no need for such formalities. I am a doctor, and how could I not treat a patient? You probably ate something unclean today, which caused your stomach pain. After this acupuncture and some medicine, you will be fine. There's no need to worry."
Qingyun nodded: "Dr. Lin is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also has a kind heart. He is truly a rare find."
Lin Wanqing resolutely refused the consultation fee offered by Qingyun, saying that everything was fate.
On their way back to the capital, the two quickly became acquainted.
When she got off the carriage, Lin Wanqing made an appointment to deliver medicine to Qingyun at the Duke of Dingguo's mansion the next day, without mentioning Princess Fengxi at all.
The next day, Qingyun came out to get the medicine herself. When she saw Lin Wanqing, she smiled and said, "The princess wants to see you."
After Lin Wanqing secretly dealt with the unborn children of the two concubines of the Duke of Dingguo for Princess Fengxi, she gained the princess's trust and became her favorite.
Having spent some time by Princess Fengxi's side, Lin Wanqing naturally knew that Princess Fengxi was infatuated with the Regent.
They also guessed that the man they saw at Juxianlou last time was none other than Regent Xiao Yanchu.
No wonder he has such an imposing presence; he was born with the aura of a king.
She didn't know how Su Ruojin had managed to hook up with the Regent, but if she couldn't have him, then this little bitch Su Ruojin shouldn't even think about it!
