"Ninth Girl, should they leave?" The Empress asked Ji Jiuying, looking at the group of people standing there.
"No need, as long as I can't be disturbed while I'm administering acupuncture." Ji Jiuying could tell that they were very worried about the Empress and wanted to stay. Since they were people the Empress trusted, she agreed.
Upon hearing this, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, alright, Ninth Girl, don't worry, I will definitely not bother you."
"Little Jiu'er, I promise I won't make a sound."
“Sister Ji, Bu Hui won’t make a sound either,” Jun Bu Hui said, mimicking Jun Lin Tian.
"······"
The Empress took out a pill, and its fragrance instantly filled the entire palace. Fu Ling, who was beside the Empress, was about to step forward to examine it when the Empress swallowed it without hesitation.
A group of people looked at the Empress with trepidation.
"Your Majesty, slowly relax your heart and meridians, and circulate your spiritual energy." After saying this, Ji Jiuying took out silver needles and arranged them for use.
Upon hearing this, the Empress did as Ji Jiuying said.
Instantly, an uncontrollable pain erupted from her heart, and the Empress was instantly engulfed in agony, experiencing both physical pain and a burning sensation in her soul.
The Queen couldn't help but roar in pain, her eyebrows furrowed, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
The onlookers dared not breathe, afraid of disturbing Ji Jiuying. The emperor trembled slightly, his jawline tightening as if he were enduring some unspeakable tension and worry.
Seeing that the time was right, Ji Jiuying took out two Concentration Pills, put one into her own mouth and the other into the Empress's mouth, saying, "Your Majesty, Concentrate and gather your energy."
Then she took out silver needles and pierced the Empress's arm. Each needle contained powerful spiritual and soul power. Before long, Ji Jiuying was drenched in sweat.
Fuling was increasingly alarmed as she watched. Princess Anping's technique was comparable to her master's, and even faster and more precise.
After the last injection, Ji Jiuying took out a Rejuvenation Pill and stuffed it into her mouth as if it were free.
"Sister Fuling, bring the plate over here."
Fuling snapped out of her daze and quickly picked up the plate that had been prepared and handed it to Ji Jiuying.
The empress's hair was already soaked with sweat, and her tightly clenched lips emitted a weak and feeble sound, as if this could alleviate the pain in her body.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Guided by her mental power and the silver needles, the poison gathered in the Empress's hand. Ji Jiuying took out a dagger and gently cut the Empress's wrist.
Dark red blood gushed from the wound, emitting a foul stench.
As the toxins were expelled, the Empress's face paled slightly, but the pain in her body gradually subsided.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ji Jiuying removed the silver needles one by one. Once the needles were removed, the poisonous blood had also been drained.
The sight of half a plate of dark blood was horrifying.
Ji Jiuying gave the hemostatic pill and the bone-regenerating and blood-dissolving pill to Fuling to feed to the Empress, while she quickly bandaged the Empress's wound.
The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. The emperor hesitated, remembering Ji Jiuying's earlier words, and dared not ask any more questions until Ji Jiuying spoke.
After completing this series of actions, he took the Queen's hand and reached out to touch it.
"Hmm~ Although the toxins have been mostly eliminated, Your Majesty, you will need some time to recuperate and recover because you have been poisoned for a long time."
After hearing Ji Jiuying's words, the group could no longer contain their joy, and their breathing became rapid.
Fuling also grabbed the Empress's hand and reached out, her eyes soon sparkling with excitement.
"Your Majesty, it's true! It's really cured."
"That's wonderful, Rou'er! You'll never have to go through that kind of pain again!" The Emperor rushed to the Empress's bedside, grasped her hand tightly, and cried tears of joy.
The Empress looked at the Emperor with a complicated expression. Thinking of the other people in the room, her pale face flushed instantly, interrupting her thoughts.
"Your Majesty, please be mindful of your actions!" the Empress reminded him.
The group looked at each other and then smiled.
At this moment, Ji Jiuyingye finished writing the prescription for conditioning the body and handed it to Fuling. "Sister Fuling, prepare half a month's worth of medicine according to the prescription I wrote. Boil one packet every day for two hours and give it to Her Majesty the Empress to drink."
When Fuling heard Ji Jiuying call her "sister," she felt a slight sense of closeness in her heart.
"Ninth Girl, thank you for your hard work." With the Emperor's help, the Empress sat up, holding a black jade in her hand. "Ninth Girl, this is the Soul-Nourishing Jade that I promised to give you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ji Jiuying accepted the Soul-Nourishing Jade and placed it into her spatial storage.
"Ninth Girl, it should be me thanking you," the Empress said with a smile.
“Father, since Xiao Jiu Jiu has cured Mother’s illness, shouldn’t we reward him with a mansion?” Jun Lintian asked.
These words reminded the emperor that he had almost forgotten about Ji Jiuying being kicked out of the Ji family by Ji Chenyuan.
"A mansion? Let me think about it!"
At this moment, Jun Lintian looked at Ji Jiuying with a smile, as if to say: Little Jiuying, aren't you very touched!
Ji Jiuying rolled her eyes at him, amused.
"Let's bestow the No. 5 mansion on Huanan Street upon Ninth Girl as her residence as a princess!" the Emperor declared.
Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow. Number 5, Huanan Street? It was actually the mansion next door to hers! She glanced thoughtfully at the Emperor.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
"Hmph~ Father, you're too biased!" Jun Lintian pretended to show a look of envy, jealousy and hatred. He had his eye on that mansion for a long time, and his father wouldn't budge even after he asked him several times.
"You brat, I've already told you, you don't need that mansion."
Ji Jiuying pondered the emperor's words repeatedly, her eyes darting back and forth between Jun Lintian and the empress, when suddenly a look of understanding appeared in her eyes.
"Ninth Girl, do you want to return to the Ji family? If you do, I can help you," the Emperor asked.
Since ancient times, there has never been any lasting grudge between fathers and daughters. However, he still respected Ji Jiuying's wishes. If she wanted to go back, he could help her; if she didn't want to go back, he would still support her.
"Your Majesty, I have severed all ties with General Ji. From now on, General Ji is General Ji, and I am merely Ji Jiuying." Ji Jiuying replied indifferently, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
Hearing her say that, the emperor couldn't say anything more.
The group left the palace, leaving the space to the emperor and empress.
"Little Jiu Jiu, when did you learn medical skills?" Jun Lintian asked.
Meanwhile, Fuling and Jun Buhui looked at her curiously. She was now a prominent figure in the capital city, and seemed to be a completely different person from the one in the rumors.
"Your Highness, as everyone knows, my deceased mother was an alchemist. How could the daughter of an alchemist be lacking in talent?" Ji Jiuying said without batting an eye.
"Then why do all those people say that Sister Ji is a good-for-nothing?" Nine-year-old Jun Buhui asked in confusion.
(Please give me positive reviews and urge me to update, thank you!)
