"Your Highness Consort Nan." Ah Xiang called out from behind Consort Nan.
Upon hearing the voice, Miao Nanyan stopped and turned around. She saw it was the head maidservant of the Princess of Nanyang. She was puzzled as to why the maidservant had called her.
"Your Highness, I've heard that you are a skilled physician. The little princess is feeling unwell; would you please take a look at her?" Ah Xiang said respectfully. She knew that Your Highness was from the Kingdom of Red Sleeves, and the Kingdom of Red Sleeves was descended from a family of healers. Therefore, Your Highness must know something about medicine.
“If we call the imperial physician, I’m afraid the trip back and forth will delay the treatment. If anything happens to the young lady, I won’t be able to live either.” Ah Xiang’s face showed a little anxiety. If she didn’t say this, she was afraid that Consort Nan would not help her.
After all, Consort Nan was sent by Northern Liang. If the little princess used her medicine and something happened, there would inevitably be conflict and disputes between the two countries.
"Your Majesty," Yun Jin said softly, tugging at Miao Nanyan's sleeve. She didn't want her mistress to get involved in these matters. She only hoped that after they delivered their gifts, they would return to Beiliang as soon as possible and avoid causing any trouble.
The king of Beiliang already disliked his queen, and if she caused any trouble in Nanyang, her future would likely be even more difficult.
"Don't say that. I only know a little about medicine. Please take me there to see him." Miao Nanyan smiled and gently patted Yun Jin's hand to reassure her.
Miao Nanyan was not favored when she was young, and no one took care of her when she was sick. She knows what it feels like to be uncomfortable, painful, and anxious. Now that she can help, she might as well go and see.
"Thank you, Consort Nan!" Ah Xiang said with a happy expression, bowing respectfully.
Ah Xiang led Consort Nan to the bedroom of Fu Shuang Palace, where Yun Duoduo was lying on her back on the bed.
The nanny from Fu Shuang Palace took Xiangling, who was with Miao Nanyan, to prepare tea, while Yun Jin stayed in the bedroom to help.
"Is the little princess feeling unwell?" Miao Nanyan asked Yun Duoduo gently.
Yun Duoduo looked at her. This Consort Nan was really kind. Aunt Xiang went to ask her for help, and she actually came.
"I...I have a toothache," Yun Duoduo said, her mouth agape. She could really feel the pain in her teeth.
"Come here, let me take a look." Nanfei hugged Yun Duoduo in her arms and patted her little head to comfort her.
Miao Nanyan didn't take Yun Duoduo's pulse, but instead rolled her eyes, poked her stomach, and looked at her tongue.
Yun Duoduo let her tug at her, finding the medical skills of Hongxiu Kingdom quite strange.
[What kind of medical method is this? Is it observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation?]
"Open your mouth wide, ah."
"ah."
Yun Duoduo opened her mouth wide, and Miao Nanyan looked at her carefully. She picked up the candle burning on the candlestick next to the bed and shone the candlelight into Yun Duoduo's mouth.
"The little princess has some small black spots on her teeth, probably from eating too many sweets. She needs to be careful in the future, otherwise the pain will be excruciating."
Yun Duoduo's original intention was to have Consort Nan examine her third brother's illness, but she didn't expect to have a problem herself first.
I probably got cavities because I've been eating too much nectar and soft cheese lately and haven't been brushing my teeth.
However, Nanfei is quite knowledgeable about insects, and she even knows about dentistry, which is really impressive.
"Is it serious?" Ah Xiang was very worried when she heard Consort Nan say that the little princess had a problem with her teeth.
"It's alright. The little princess will lose her baby teeth when she grows up. Just be careful in the future. She should eat less honey and sweet cakes and rinse her mouth with water after meals."
"Thank you, Consort Nan." Ah Xiang nodded hurriedly, repeating Consort Nan's words in her mind as she handed over a cup of tea, and then took the jade thumb ring in her hand.
"Your Highness, if you don't mind, please take this jade thumb ring. The little princess may not need it."
Yun Jin looked at the jade thumb ring and felt a surge of joy. It was a gift from Miao Nanyan to Lord Ge of the Court of State Ceremonial when they first arrived at the Nanyang royal residence.
This jade thumb ring is made of jade unique to the Red Sleeve Kingdom, carrying their longing for their homeland.
Miao Nanyan hesitated for a moment, then didn't refuse any longer, and took the box. "Then thank you very much, little princess."
Ah Xiang's gaze fell on the Third Prince. "Third Prince, eat less. It's hard to digest if you leave it overnight."
"Okay, okay, finish this piece!" Yun Yishu mumbled incoherently.
Ah Xiang didn't know why the little princess had summoned both the Third Prince and Consort Nan at the same time, but since Duo Duo had made this arrangement, she had to make Consort Nan notice the Third Prince.
"Your Highness, you flatter me. I was just worried that the Third Prince would get indigestion. If that happens, there will be no one to keep the little princess company every day."
Miao Nanyan's eyes flickered slightly. Yun Yishu was rolling up his sleeves and eating and drinking heartily. She noticed small red spots on his arm, which were not noticeable unless you looked closely.
"Yun Jin, go and close the door," Miao Nanyan instructed in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Yun Jin looked at Miao Nanyan with some concern, puzzled.
"Granny Liu, could you please go to the imperial kitchen and fetch some hot soup?" Ah Xiang dismissed everyone who was not involved.
"Is there any fragrant tree sage here?" After asking, Miao Nanyan immediately shook her head. How could there be such a strange thing here?
[Kuraki?]
“It seems there are some in the yard,” Jin Jinzhi suddenly said.
Duoduo loves flowers and plants, and Empress Zhaoyuan had previously planted many flowers and plants in the courtyard.
While the palace servants were planting flowers and plants, Jin Jinzhi asked a question about what kind of flowers were in the courtyard, and he roughly found out.
Jin Jinzhi took the leaves from the cangshu tree and handed them to Miao Nanyan.
Miao Nanyan lit a piece of the granary tree leaf. There was no granary tree incense available, so the granary tree leaf would have to do for now.
The scent of this plant can attract venomous insects.
"The Third Prince has been afflicted by the Golden Silkworm Gu. The other party's aim is to steal his soul," Consort Nan concluded after examining his body.
[Soul-stealing?!]
Yun Duoduo and Jin Jin were shocked. Someone was actually trying to steal their souls?!
"Golden Silkworm Gu?" Ah Xiang frowned in confusion.
Yun Duoduo was also very surprised, as it was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.
"The Golden Silkworm Gu is made by sealing a variety of poisonous insects together in a jar and letting them kill each other. After a year, only one poisonous insect with golden skin and a shape like a silkworm remains. This insect is the most poisonous."
"Now the person who used Gu poison is using the sound of the flute to control the poisonous insects, and thus indirectly control the Third Prince," Consort Nan explained.
No wonder my third brother always sleepwalked over here before.
Yun Duoduo thought to herself.
[Could it be that the Third Prince's sleepwalking was also a result of being controlled, with the aim of turning him into a puppet to secretly harm Duo Duo in the future?!]
Jin Jin was greatly alarmed.
"Your Majesty, is there a way to break this?"
