Physician Chen was momentarily speechless. He had just taken the princess's pulse and knew her condition, but he truly did not know how to treat her.
But of course he couldn't back down at this point, especially not in front of a woman.
He stubbornly insisted, "I...of course I can cure it!"
Su Ruojin glanced at him, then turned to Gao Hongyuan, "Grand Preceptor, if Physician Chen can cure her, then let's entrust the princess to him for treatment."
Gao Hongyuan looked coldly at Physician Chen, "Physician Chen, could you please explain your treatment method and how long it will take? The princess is about to get married. If the princess's wedding is delayed, can Physician Chen take responsibility?"
Upon hearing Gao Hongyuan's words, Physician Chen broke out in a cold sweat.
He never imagined that his momentary impulse would lead to such a result.
If he were to actually treat it, he could only try each of the prescriptions he had used to treat brain diseases, and then gradually adjust them.
This process will be very long, and he has no idea whether it will be effective, not to mention that he has to make it in time for the princess's upcoming wedding.
But the words have already been spoken. If I don't cure him, although it won't be considered deceiving the emperor, deceiving the Grand Preceptor is not much different from deceiving the emperor.
"Use red peony root, chuanxiong rhizome, peach kernel..." Physician Chen forced himself to give a prescription.
Gao Hongyuan remained expressionless, revealing neither his joy nor anger. "How long will it take for it to be effective?"
“Eat...eat for a month, oh no, half a month,” said Physician Chen.
The longer this medicine is taken, the better, but considering the princess's wedding, Physician Chen quickly changed his mind.
"Half a month? Physician Chen, the princess's wedding is less than ten days away. You need half a month to recover?"
Gao Hongyuan's voice was very calm, so calm that Physician Chen broke out in a sweat, desperately racking his brains for a way to make amends.
"Director Bao, what do you think of Physician Chen's prescription? Can you cure the princess?" Before Physician Chen could say anything more, Gao Hongyuan looked at Director Bao.
Compared to Physician Chen's stubbornness, Imperial Physician Bao was quite frank.
"Your Excellency, Physician Chen prescribed a common remedy for headaches caused by blood stasis obstructing the orifices. It is barely applicable to the princess's condition, but its effectiveness cannot be seen in the short term. As for the princess's current condition, I have no better solution."
"Madam Jiang, how long will your treatment take?" Gao Hongyuan asked Su Ruojin again.
“One acupuncture treatment and three days of medication will improve the princess’s condition,” Su Ruojin answered readily.
Upon hearing this, Physician Chen looked disdainful. Even Chief Physician Bao did not have a better treatment method, yet this Madam Jiang dared to boast that she could recover in three days.
He wanted to make sarcastic remarks, but he held back, remembering Gao Hongyuan's earlier question.
If he's not confident, then let Madam Jiang treat him; if problems arise, he won't be blamed.
"Mrs. Jiang, thank you for your trouble." Gao Hongyuan settled everything with just one sentence.
Su Ruojin said nothing more and led Yanluo inside, after which everyone else in the room left.
"Yanluo, let's begin."
Without saying a word, Yan Luo began to cast the Soul-Guiding Needle in reverse.
"Add another Soul-Stealing Needle."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Once the Soul-Stealing Needle is applied, Yuening will lose some memories.
After she finished, Yuening fell asleep again.
Looking at the sleeping Yue Ning, Su Ruojin asked Aya, who was standing beside her, "How is Gao Hongyuan's Gu technique?"
“His Gu technique is superior to mine,” Aya answered honestly, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to remove the Gu she had placed on him in such a short time.
I see...
Su Ruojin stopped talking and walked out of the room. "Imperial Preceptor, the princess will wake up in an hour. She's tired from administering acupuncture, so I'm going to rest."
