Shen Jia stayed in Zhaoyang Palace for a while before Ning Yin sent her away. However, as soon as she stepped out of the palace, she saw that Madam Yan Qing's face was somewhat pale.
Yesterday, she and Shen Jia waited in front of the East Palace for a long time, and then she caught a cold. This morning, she followed Shen Jia to the East Palace, but her body was too weak to sleep.
Just as Shen Jia was about to ask her how she was feeling, she saw the person fall straight down.
If it weren't for the quick reflexes of the young eunuch in Zhaoyang Palace who caught her from behind, she would probably have fallen heavily to the ground.
Shen Jia was so shocked that she cried out. It took her a while to react before she stepped forward to help Madam Yan Qing into the hall.
"Your Highness, I beg you to save my maid. She is seriously ill and may not have much time left. If you are willing to save her, I am willing to serve you like a slave."
Ning Yin was just about to go see Chong Yu when she heard Shen Jia say that. She raised her eyes and glanced indifferently at Madam Yan Qing.
The woman's face was pale and her lips were dark purple. Ning Yin's first thought was that she had been poisoned.
As a doctor, she could never turn a blind eye to a patient standing right in front of her.
Since the person is already on our side, it wouldn't hurt for her to take a look.
Ning Yin waved slightly to Madam Yan Qing, signaling her to step forward.
Madam Yan Qing bowed slightly to Ning Yin and walked over respectfully.
"Extend your hand, let me take your pulse."
Ningyin's fingertips touched her wrist, which was eerily cold; no normal person's hand could be that cold.
Medical books recorded the poisoning reactions of a hundred kinds of poisons. Ningyin kept recalling them in her mind and finally figured it out.
It is a poison called Frost Gu. People poisoned by it will have a body temperature much lower than normal, but because the Gu worm needs a host, it will not kill the host for the time being.
However, once the Gu worm finds a new host, it will kill the host without hesitation.
Under normal circumstances, for a Gu worm to find another host, it must cause the original host and another host to have sexual relations.
The tricky thing about this poison is that even if the Gu worm changes hosts, the original host will be completely devoured.
There is no antidote in this world. The only treatment is to cut open the patient's blood vessels, release some of the worms, and prolong the patient's life.
However, this approach, which is almost like harming the enemy by a thousand times while injuring yourself, only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. The patient will suffer more complications due to the depletion of their body.
Thinking of this, Ning Yin frowned slightly and sighed softly.
She had studied medicine for over ten years, and yet she actually encountered a rare and unusual poison.
However, the Frost Gu thrives in cold weather, and Kyoto will soon enter its hottest season of the year, which might be beneficial for the treatment.
She can prescribe nourishing medicines and supplement them with herbs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis for a medicinal bath. While the person is taking the medicinal bath, she can also perform acupuncture and bloodletting. This two-pronged approach might yield good results.
Although it is impossible to completely eliminate all the parasites, it can stabilize the patient's condition.
Once Ningyin finalized the treatment plan, she instructed Zhang Mama and Suxin to prepare the medicinal herbs.
After Yan Qing's wife finished her medicinal bath and had her blood drained, Ning Yin took her pulse again.
The pulse has become much more stable, and the body temperature has risen slightly compared to before.
Her lips, which were originally dark purple, now had a hint of color.
Madam Yan Qing remembered that after the old gentleman gave her acupuncture last time, although it had some effect, compared to this time, she felt that her whole body was not as stiff and cold.
In particular, the feeling of ants crawling in my chest has been relieved quite a bit.
Madam Yanqing was truly grateful to have encountered such a miraculous doctor. She quickly knelt down to thank Ningyin.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for saving my life. I am deeply grateful."
As Shen Jia watched Yan Qing's complexion grow increasingly rosy, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "As expected of my sister-in-law, she truly is a living Hua Tuo (a legendary Chinese physician)."
She was truly blind before, being deceived by the Yang siblings. She didn't cherish such a talented and beautiful sister-in-law and instead did some immoral and unscrupulous things.
While blaming herself, Shen Jia quickly knelt down, overwhelmed with gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are truly a Hua Tuo reborn. I have nothing to repay you with but to serve you well in Zhaoyang Palace."
Shen Jia genuinely admired Ning Yin's medical skills and character, and she also wanted to stay and persuade Ning Yin to leave the palace.
She didn't think Ning Yin could be happy marrying Xiao Xuan. Throughout history, there had never been a precedent of an emperor staying with one woman for a lifetime.
Her sister-in-law is so good, she shouldn't share her husband with other women.
Especially after the Chu princess enters the palace in a few days, she and Ningyin will have vastly different identities.
Who knows if the Chu princess will take advantage of her status to bully Ning Yin? It's hard to say whether Xiao Xuan will be able to protect Ning Yin then.
But if she were with her older brother, it would be different. Both her brother and she had realized their mistakes and had reformed.
I will treat Ningyin like my own family and will never let her suffer any injustice.
Shen Jia was making plans in her mind. She had to stay, in case the Chu princess bullied her sister-in-law, she could help her a little.
Ning Yin simply didn't care about her words and only agreed that Yan Qing's wife could stay in the East Palace for a while, and leave immediately once her condition stabilized.
Having no other choice, Shen Jia could only return to the General's Mansion to inform her brother before making any further plans.
When they returned to the General's Mansion, Shen Yun was in his study instructing them on the implementation of Lan Yue's plan seven days later, emphasizing the need to ensure that everything went smoothly.
After Lan Yue left, Shen Jia told Shen Yun everything she had learned in the past few days.
This included news that Marquis Wuding was conspiring with the people of Chu to rebel, and the fact that Yang Shuhuan had been imprisoned in a slave camp.
However, Shen Yun didn't seem too surprised by the news. Instead, he grabbed Shen Jia and asked about Ning Yin's situation.
"Jia'er, tell me quickly, what was A-Yin's reaction when you told her that I helped the two elders sweep their graves?"
Shen Jia recalled Ning Yin's expression at the time, and then said truthfully, "Sister-in-law must have been very moved. I could tell that her eyes were full of tears and she almost cried."
When Shen Yun heard Shen Jia say this, the weight that had been hanging over him finally lifted, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
The reason she cried must be because she was thinking about her past with him and regretted it.
He had known all along that his Ah Yin couldn't be so heartless; she clearly had feelings for him.
Her being with Xiao Xuan was simply because Xiao Xuan coveted Ning Yin's beauty and forcibly took her as his concubine.
How could a weak woman like her possibly stand against Xiao Xuan's power in this deep palace?
Thinking of this, Shen Yun clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, wishing he could start a rebellion right now and rescue Ning Yin.
"Jia'er, you deserve a lot of credit for rescuing your sister-in-law this time. She will definitely forgive you."
