Chapter 206 The Best Sister-in-law 4
When Cheng Yue returned home, she saw a group of people gathered at the gate of the yard. There was a horse-drawn carriage parked in the yard, and the driver was moving things out of the carriage.
When she saw the person next to the carriage clearly, she exclaimed, isn't this the "general" who left without saying goodbye?
"Little Scar, where have you been? Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Are these gifts for me? Stop, you're sending them to the wrong place. My house is that door."
Cheng Yue pulled the driver, stopping him from moving things into the main house, and yelled at him.
Pei Yu looked carefully and found that Cheng Yue was the girl who threw him in the broken thatched hut.
"My name is not Xiaoba. These gifts are for Miss Chengnan, not for you."
When Cheng Yue heard this, she immediately became furious.
"What? Give it to Cheng Nan? Why should I give it to her? I was the one who brought you down the mountain. What does it have to do with her?"
Pei Yu frowned, "Miss, please make way and don't hinder the driver from moving things."
Cheng Yue questioned Pei Yu angrily.
"Why did you give the gift to Cheng Nan and not to me? It was obviously me who brought you down the mountain."
Pei Yu thought about it and decided to explain.
"It was because I saved you that you didn't fall into the ravine. Take me down the mountain and we'll be even."
As for the fact that Miss Cheng Nan knew both medical and martial arts skills, since she had kept it a secret from everyone, Pei Yu did not say anything. It seemed that Miss Cheng Nan had her own considerations.
Cheng Shouyi and Qian Xiulian were reluctant to take the gifts. After they had asked around, they found out that their daughter had indeed saved the young man, so it was only natural for them to take the gifts, and they did not hesitate to do so.
Cheng Yue was so angry that she could only watch as all the gifts were taken into the main house, without even a piece of cake left.
Pei Yu bowed to Nan Xi, "Miss, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
Nan Xi nodded, and the two of them walked towards the dilapidated thatched house at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village.
Pei Yu spoke only after the surroundings were empty.
"Miss Cheng, I have an unwelcome request."
Nan Xi looked at Pei Yu with interest. This man still looked like a decent human being after being dressed up. Considering that he had just confronted Cheng Yue, she wanted to hear what he had to say.
"You say it."
Pei Yu was delighted, there was hope.
"Miss Cheng, I am a guard under the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is looking for medicine everywhere because the Queen Mother is ill and her life is in danger. Miss Cheng has superb medical skills. Please come with me to the capital. I will definitely send you back safely."
Nan Xi touched her chin. So that's how it is. The capital must be more fun than here. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go there.
The key is that the Queen Mother's relationship can be utilized.
"Okay, let's go."
Pei Yu was startled, then ecstatic, "Okay, okay, we can set off now."
Nan Xi went home and said goodbye to her parents, then followed Pei Yu.
Cheng Shouyi and Qian Xiulian were a little worried, so Nan Xi showed off her skills and used the excuse that it was a blessing from the land god, so they agreed.
Cheng Yue was very unwilling, but Pei Yu did not give her the chance to get close to her and directly took Nan Xi away.
When leaving the village, Shen Han stood at the door and watched Nan Xi leave. He felt a pang of sadness in his heart, a little regretful, and a little embarrassed.
?
Nan Xi sat in the carriage, which was shaking slightly as it moved slowly along the bluestone streets of the capital.
The carriage finally arrived in front of the magnificent palace gate. Nan Xi sat in the carriage and went directly into the palace. It was because the empress dowager's condition could not wait any longer.
Nan Xi was led to the palace where the Queen Mother was. It was magnificent, and every brick and tile revealed the dignity and solemnity of the royal family. The palace maids shuttled between them, busy and orderly.
Nan Xi was taken to the Queen Mother's bedroom, where a faint medicinal aroma filled the air. The Crown Prince was waiting outside the door himself, his face filled with anxiety and anticipation.
When he saw Nan Xi, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect that this miracle doctor was such a young woman.
"Miss Cheng, thank you for your help." The prince said sincerely.
Nan Xi nodded to him and walked into the bedroom. The prince felt relieved. This woman was calm and composed, and it was obvious at first glance that she was a person of real ability.
The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine, mixed with a hint of barely perceptible anxiety.
Nan Xi felt the Queen Mother's pulse and found it weak, her breathing rapid, and her skin cold and clammy. These were typical symptoms of heart failure. The Queen Mother's condition was more serious than she had expected.
Nan Xi first ordered the palace maids to raise the Queen Mother's bed slightly to reduce the burden on the heart and help blood flow back to the heart.
Then, she took out a set of silver needles from the medical box, accurately inserted the needles into the empress dowager's acupuncture points, and began the acupuncture treatment.
Acupuncture can stimulate the flow of blood in the body, help improve blood supply to the heart, and relieve symptoms.
Nan Xi injected spiritual power into the silver needles, stimulating the meridians along the acupuncture points, and slowly repairing the damaged atrium.
In fact, she only needed to use spiritual acupuncture to save the empress dowager, but in order to conceal her tracks, Nan Xi asked someone to prepare a special herbal decoction.
The Queen Mother is a little weak, so it would be good for her to take some care of herself.
This decoction is composed of medicinal materials such as ginseng, astragalus, and salvia miltiorrhiza, and has the effects of strengthening the heart and replenishing qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
After the herbal decoction was cooked, it was fed to the Queen Mother. As the effectiveness of the herbs gradually took effect, the Queen Mother's breathing began to become stable and her facial complexion also improved.
Nan Xi taught the palace maids some simple massage techniques, asking them to gently massage the empress dowager's hands and feet to help improve her blood circulation.
The prince was delighted to see that the Queen Mother's breathing had stabilized. He came in front of Nan Xi and bowed deeply.
"Miss Cheng, your medical skills are extraordinary. The Queen Mother's recovery is inseparable from your miraculous healing hands. Please accept my greetings."
Nan Xi helped the prince up and said humbly, "Your Highness, it is my honor to treat the Queen Mother. I only hope that the Queen Mother can recover soon and regain her health."
The originally solemn atmosphere gradually eased due to the Queen Mother's improvement.
The imperial doctors witnessed Nan Xi using her medical skills to stabilize the Empress Dowager's condition in just one stick of incense.
The imperial doctors looked at each other in shock and disbelief. They thought the empress dowager's condition was beyond repair, but they didn't expect Nan Xi to have such a great skill.
As the empress dowager's breathing gradually stabilized and her face regained some color, the imperial doctors could no longer hold back and rushed forward to check the empress dowager's pulse and various vital signs.
After a careful examination, they had to admit that Nan Xi's medical skills were indeed superb and the Queen Mother's condition had been significantly alleviated.
"Miss Cheng, your medical skills are truly eye-opening!" An elderly imperial physician could not help but exclaim, his eyes full of admiration.
Another young imperial physician couldn't help but sigh: "We imperial physicians have been in the palace for many years, but today we finally see what superb medical skills are."
Nan Xi smiled slightly, "Thank you for your praise, my dear doctors. I have only done my best. The Queen Mother's recovery still requires the joint efforts of everyone."
After hearing Nan Xi's words, the imperial doctors admired her even more. They all expressed their willingness to discuss medical skills with Nan Xi.
