As Ning Yin asked the question, she looked up at the emperor. Her face was rosy and her lips were a pale red.
"I just drank a bowl of chicken soup and felt a bit of chest tightness and weakness."
As the emperor spoke, he patted his chest with his hand.
Now that the two were so close, the emperor could see Ningyin's face clearly.
She was indeed stunningly beautiful, even surpassing the beauty of Empress Yao, whom he had once deeply loved.
The emperor stared intently at Ning Yin, then said, "Tell me, what should I do about this chest tightness and weakness?"
"Your Majesty, let me take your pulse first."
"good."
Without any questioning, the emperor quickly extended his hand. At this moment, Chen Yuanpan and Zhuang Gonggong, who were standing nearby, also moved closer to observe Ning Yin's actions.
Ning Yin reached out and placed her hand on the emperor's pulse, her brows furrowing slightly.
The pulse is irregular and rapid, which is likely due to blood stasis in the heart, causing chest tightness and weakness.
"Your Majesty, the reason you have blood stasis in your chest is because you ate too much oily food today, and the chicken soup also contained alcohol. This will relieve the pain after I give you acupuncture."
"However, for your condition, you need to persist with acupuncture for fifteen days, take decoctions daily as an adjunct, and follow a proper diet to achieve a complete cure."
After Ning Yin finished speaking, Consort Chen, who was standing next to her, suddenly chuckled softly.
"A cure-all? What a boastful tone! Even a senior imperial physician like Dr. Lu could only alleviate the symptoms. You're so young, and a woman at that. How dare you make such a big claim? Aren't you afraid of being beheaded? Or perhaps you've infiltrated the palace for some other purpose!"
"My beloved consort, there's no need for that. We must give young people a chance. I think this young lady makes a lot of sense. In that case, please administer acupuncture to me!"
"Your Majesty, she's just..."
"Oh, my beloved concubine, there's no need for further words!"
The emperor's expression darkened slightly, and a single glance from him silenced Consort Chen.
At this moment, Judge Chen became even more impatient and couldn't help but take a few more steps closer. This woman really didn't know what was good for her.
Ning Yin began to concentrate on administering acupuncture. Although this was indeed a piece of cake for her, the person in front of her was the emperor, so she still had to be more careful.
When she accurately inserted all ten silver needles into the emperor's acupoints, the emperor felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
I've never felt this way before when Dr. Lu gave me acupuncture.
I no longer feel chest tightness or fatigue, and even my head feels much lighter, giving me a feeling of being reborn.
But in the next second, the emperor's face suddenly turned red, and he felt a bloody taste spreading from his throat to his mouth, and then rushing straight to the top of his head.
Consort Chen watched as the emperor's expression shifted from initial enjoyment to a deep frown, and couldn't help but glare at Ning Yin.
The emperor's forehead was now covered in fine beads of sweat, making it impossible for him to speak.
Feeling like he was about to give up, he clutched his chest with his hand.
Immediately, a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, and Consort Chen, who was sitting next to him, was terrified.
In particular, Judge Chen and Eunuch Zhuang had completely different mindsets.
Judge Chen wanted to see Ning Yin suffer, while Eunuch Zhuang regretted his choice.
If this really causes His Majesty's death, even if I had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough to get my head chopped off.
After a while, Consort Chen reacted and glared angrily at Ning Yin.
"You scoundrel, how dare you plot against the Emperor! Guards, drag him out and tear him apart with five horses!"
At Consort Chen's command, a young eunuch outside the door suddenly shouted, "His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
