Su Ruojin knew that Yue Ning hadn't woken up and that Gao Hongyuan wouldn't let her leave, so she didn't want to waste her breath.
Gao Hongyuan stared thoughtfully at Su Ruojin's retreating figure.
Since Madam Jiang knew that her maid was under a spell, why couldn't she see that Yue Ning was under a spell this time?
Or perhaps she was the one who cast the curse?
To be precise, she had someone else cast the spell on her. After all, someone had previously removed the curse from her maid, and her men still haven't figured out who was behind it.
Thinking of this, Gao Hongyuan narrowed his eyes. No matter what, this Madam Jiang could not be allowed to live.
At this point, Gao Hongyuan also made up his mind that he would kill Zhao Ruojin and her group after Yue Ning recovered in three days.
An hour later, Yuening woke up and saw Gao Hongyuan, calling out, "Grand Preceptor."
Although her voice was weak and hoarse, it proved that she had recovered.
"Yuening, how are you feeling?" Gao Hongyuan asked.
Yuening's lips were pale, and she said weakly, "My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, but my head hurts."
Yuening not only had a headache, but she also felt like she had forgotten something. Trying to recall it made her head hurt even more, so she had to give up.
Gao Hongyuan knew without asking anyone that it would always take time to recover after all this ordeal.
"It's alright, you'll be fine after a few days of medicine. Your wedding is coming up soon, so take good care of yourself. I'll come see you again in a few days," Gao Hongyuan comforted him.
Imperial Physician Bao had already re-examined Yuening's pulse and was overjoyed. "Grand Preceptor, the princess is in excellent health."
Gao Hongyuan nodded, then glanced at Physician Chen, who stood to the side with an incredulous expression.
Physician Chen truly hadn't expected that Madam Jiang would actually wake the princess up with just one acupuncture treatment. His mind was still reeling when he heard Gao Hongyuan say, "Director Bao, the Imperial Hospital needs a thorough overhaul. How can some incompetent people be allowed to continue harming people in the Imperial Hospital?"
Imperial Censor Bao was well aware of Gao Hongyuan's meaning and quickly bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I understand."
Just then, Granny Hui entered the room, hurriedly bowed to Gao Hongyuan, and said anxiously, "Grand Preceptor, the Empress Dowager urgently summons you to the palace."
When Gao Hongyuan saw Hui Mama appear, he knew that something must have happened to Empress Dowager Wu, otherwise she wouldn't have sent Hui Mama to invite him in person, and Hui Mama's expression was very strange.
Without saying a word, Gao Hongyuan left the princess's residence and headed straight for the palace.
After the Imperial Physician left, Chief Physician Bao looked at Physician Chen and said, "As a physician, Chen Lei's medical skills are poor and his medical ethics are lacking. He shall be given twenty strokes of the cane and expelled from the Imperial Medical Academy immediately, never to be employed again!"
Chen Lei looked at the Imperial Physician Bao in disbelief, then knelt down and begged for mercy, only to be dragged away by the guards.
Those who are expelled from the Imperial Medical Academy can no longer stay in Longxiao City. No high-ranking official or nobleman would dare to ask him for treatment, and no medical clinic would dare to take him in, as that would be tantamount to going against the Imperial Medical Academy.
He could only survive by hiding in remote places in Xiaoyue and living in anonymity.
Su Ruojin wrote down the prescription for the housekeeper, explained the relevant matters, and then left.
Yuening looks better, but after this ordeal, her health has been ruined. She will need medication for the rest of her life, and she may become breathless after walking just a few steps. Headaches are a common occurrence, and her memory will gradually decline.
This time she really cured the princess's illness, and the Grand Preceptor didn't give any instructions, so Liu Jing couldn't stop her anymore. He left her with the words, "Madam Jiang, I advise you to stay obediently in Longxiao City."
Su Ruojin didn't even glance at Liu Jing.
Liu Jing watched her departing figure, his eyes flickering.

Gao Hongyuan rushed to Ningkang Palace and saw Empress Dowager Wu sitting in the main seat, pale-faced and absent-minded, not even reacting to his arrival.
Seeing Empress Dowager Wu's state, Gao Hongyuan hurriedly stepped forward, "Rou'er, what happened? Is something wrong with Zhuo'er?"
The last time Gao Hongyuan saw Empress Wu act so strangely was when she was pregnant with Zhuo'er.
Upon hearing the sound, Empress Wu came to her senses and looked at Gao Hongyuan with some fear. What she said next made Gao Hongyuan freeze on the spot.
On his way to the palace, Gao Hongyuan had imagined countless possibilities, but he never expected it to turn out like this.
