Chapter 100 God is helping her
Zhao Shuning's eyes suddenly lit up again.
The imperial concubine did not give up on her!
This time, she can only succeed, not fail!
If she fails, she will really become a discarded pawn.
She immediately asked the palace maid about the queen's illness. The maid told her everything in detail. While Zhao Shuning listened, her mind was working fast, thinking about how to diagnose and treat the queen.
As soon as he entered Kunning Palace, Zhao Shuning felt the gloomy and depressing atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty."
Emperor Defeng gave a direct order, "The Empress is unconscious. Go and take her pulse. If there is any mistake, you will be held responsible."
Zhao Shuning responded in a low voice.
When she saw the haggard-faced man on the bed, her heart sank slightly.
After taking the queen's pulse, she had a more intuitive judgment that the queen's condition was not optimistic.
She had never treated a similar patient before and was not sure about this.
But she decided to take a gamble.
She calmly repeated what the palace maid had said before.
Finally, he said, "Only the Nine-turn Soul-Restoring Needle can save the Queen's life."
Old Doctor Jiang originally looked down on Zhao Shuning, but after hearing what she said, he began to look at her with a new respect.
I couldn't help but ask, "Do you know this needlework?"
Zhao Shuning nodded calmly.
She didn't lie. No one knew that her medical consultation and medication were not as good as her acupuncture.
In her early years, by chance, she gave a noble lady a set of acupuncture on her chest and saved her life.
This incident inspired her to study acupuncture techniques that required acupuncture on the chest, back and other private areas.
Most doctors in the world are men, so if a female relative of a noble family is seriously ill and needs acupuncture, it would be very inconvenient.
This was her chance.
Now, the opportunity has come to her again.
Sure enough, God is helping her this time!
There was a hint of doubt in the eyes of old doctor Jiang.
He began to test Zhao Shuning, and he was able to answer all the questions fluently, which largely eliminated the old doctor Jiang's doubts.
Concubine Li patted her chest, as if relieved. "It seems that Zhao made the right choice this time. With her acupuncture, the Queen will surely be able to recover."
Emperor Defeng said in a deep voice, "Zhao, are you absolutely sure?"
Zhao Shuning answered truthfully, "I can't guarantee it. I only have a 50% chance at best. But I'm willing to give it a try."
This matter is quite risky, but if there were no risk, it wouldn't be her turn.
Give it a try, there may be a glimmer of hope.
Just like her current situation, the only way to turn the tide is to take a drastic measure.
Xiao Baozhu was very nervous. A 50% chance of success meant a 50% chance of failure.
Because of her instinctive dislike for Zhao Shuning, her resistance was even stronger.
"You're only 50% sure. If something happens to our mother, can you afford it?"
Zhao Shuning lowered her head. "The Queen is of noble status, while I, a humble subject, have little influence. How dare I compare my humble life with the Queen's? If anything were to happen to the Queen because of me, I would be held responsible. But the Queen's condition is critical. If I do nothing, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Baozhu bit her lips hard and was speechless.
Zhao Shuning kowtowed deeply, speaking earnestly, "Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, am willing to perform acupuncture on the Empress! If I make any mistakes, I will die as an apology!"
She was completely determined.
If you fail, you will die!
She has the courage to take such a gamble, which makes her better than those cowards in the Imperial Hospital.
Emperor Defeng's eyes showed a little more appreciation, "Exactly!"
Xiao Yanci looked at Zhao Shuning and a thought arose in his mind. This person was not simple. In the future, she might become a strong opponent of Lu Zhiran.
The palace maids began to prepare for the next acupuncture.
This was the first time Zhao Shuning used this acupuncture method. She had issued a military order and was very nervous.
She humbly asked the old doctor Jiang for advice on acupuncture methods and tips. The old doctor Jiang put aside his past grudges and answered her questions one by one.
After his unreserved advice, Zhao Shuning's original nervousness gradually subsided.
After everything was ready, Zhao Shuning entered the inner room. Doctor Jiang took Empress Sun's pulse behind a screen, while everyone else waited in the outer room.
Every time Zhao Shuning gave an injection, Empress Sun's pulse would change.
If her acupuncture method was biased, Dr. Jiang could immediately judge it through the pulse and give corresponding guidance.
The voices of the two people came from not far away, and Xiao Baozhu's originally tense heartstrings relaxed little by little.
With the old doctor Jiang in charge, the Queen Mother will definitely be fine.
It took more than an hour before the acupuncture treatment was finally over.
Zhao Shuning removed the last needle. His back was soaked with cold sweat, and his palms were even more wet.
However, she did not dare to relax.
It is still unknown whether this game will lead to life or death.
After another half cup of tea, Empress Sun's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.
The palace maid exclaimed in surprise: "The Queen is awake, the Queen is awake."
Doctor Jiang withdrew his hand from taking the patient's pulse, and a smile appeared on his old face. "The queen is out of danger."
At this moment, Zhao Shuning's anxious heart finally settled down, and his tense back also relaxed.
She won the bet!
Xiao Baozhu was the first to rush in. She wanted to pounce but didn't dare, so she stood timidly beside the bed.
Empress Sun weakly raised her hand towards her, and Xiao Baozhu immediately stepped forward and held her hand.
When she touched that skinny and cold hand, Xiao Baozhu could no longer hold back her tears and they fell down.
"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Empress Sun opened her mouth and called out something softly. Xiao Baozhu's tears suddenly stopped, her eyes became blank, and she was so stunned that she forgot to react.
Zhao Shuning said softly, "The Queen is still very weak. She needs to rest well."
Xiao Baozhu came back to her senses and tried to pull her hand back, but found that she was holding it tightly.
She gently held the other person's hand and quietly stood by the bed.
Zhao Shuning left the inner room, and Concubine Li looked at her with admiration.
She is brave enough, willing to take risks, and has real skills. She is indeed a useful chess piece.
Emperor Defeng looked at her with a little more appreciation.
"Zhao, you saved the queen this time, and your contribution is invaluable."
Zhao Shuning said with deep trepidation, "I am a humble woman, lacking in knowledge and experience. It was only thanks to the guidance of Dr. Jiang that I was able to successfully complete the acupuncture. If we really want to judge the merits, Dr. Jiang should be the first."
After a serious setback, Zhao Shuning has learned to be more restrained and has become more humble and sincere in his attitude.
Old Doctor Jiang also had a slightly different opinion of her.
At least, her performance just now was very good, the needle placement was very steady and there were no mistakes.
Emperor Defeng was in a good mood, "You two have made great contributions."
Concubine Li smiled and said, "Old Doctor Jiang, you are the old master of the Imperial Hospital. Your medical skills are unmatched. Zhao's performance today is truly impressive."
"Your Majesty, I dare to shamelessly ask you for her. I hope you will allow her to come to the palace to check my pulse at any time. I am also old, and I have some minor ailments from time to time. The imperial physicians are men after all, and there are differences between men and women. Zhao's words are quite satisfactory to me. Moreover, the Queen's health needs to be taken care of."
