Chapter 287 Your Needle Skills Are Amazing
He knew that this was not just a bowl of medicine, it carried everyone's hopes and efforts and was the key to saving His Majesty's life.
Deep in the cold palace of Shangjing, an ancient Buddhist temple stands quietly, and the walls around it, eroded by time, reveal a faint sense of desolation.
In the hall, the flickering candlelight illuminated Nangong Qin's slightly haggard but still dignified face. She was concentrating with her eyes closed, her hands clasped together, and silently reciting scriptures, as if she was isolated from the world.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the Buddhist hall.
Xuan Yuchen walked in hurriedly, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness. "Mother!" He called softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.
Nangong Qin opened her eyes upon hearing the voice, and frowned slightly, as if she was a little displeased by the sudden interruption. "Chen'er, why are you here?" Her tone was both accusatory and concerned.
"Mother, follow me out." Xuan Yuchen took a step forward, his tone firm and urgent. He knew very well that every minute and every second was crucial at this moment, and his father's condition could not be delayed.
However, Nangong Qin shook her head and took two steps back, with a flash of determination in her eyes. "Mother can't drag you down." She whispered, her voice full of helplessness and sorrow.
After years of living in the cold palace, she had long been accustomed to loneliness and self-exile, and she no longer wanted to be a burden to her son.
"Mother~" Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuchen felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
He was well aware of his mother's difficulties, but he understood the urgency of the moment even more.
"Father...he wants to see you for the last time." Xuan Yuchen finally couldn't help but tell the truth, his voice choked with sobs.
When Nangong Qin heard this, his body trembled and his face turned pale as paper in an instant.
She looked at Xuan Yuchen in disbelief; her eyes, which had once been full of brilliance, were now filled with tears.
"What did you say? Your father..." she asked in a trembling voice, as if she was afraid to hear the answer that she was most unwilling to accept.
"Mother, it's true." Xuan Yuchen stepped forward and held Nangong Qin's shoulders, his tone full of pleading and determination.
"Father has been waiting for you. He hopes that you can be by his side and accompany him on his last journey."
Nangong Qin was silent for a moment, tears silently rolling down her cheeks.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.
Finally, she opened her eyes, with determination and firmness in them. "Okay, I'll go with you." She said softly, her voice was soft but very firm.
Just then, Nanny Zeng hurried in from the backyard with a cup of freshly boiled water in her hand.
"Empress, the hot water you requested..." Before she could finish her words, she saw the scene in front of her.
She was stunned for a moment, then she understood, quickly put down the hot water in her hand, and went forward to support Nangong Qin.
"Madame Zeng, please come with me." Nangong Qin said to Madame Zeng, with a hint of tenderness and dependence in her tone.
Nanny Zeng is her only support in the cold palace and the person she trusts the most.

Emperor's bedroom
"Miss Jiang, your acupuncture skills are amazing!" a doctor exclaimed, his eyes full of admiration and praise.
"Yes, the combination of Miss Jiang's medical skills and the Bai family's acupuncture is simply a match made in heaven, a perfect match!" another doctor echoed, his tone full of recognition of Miss Jiang's medical skills and admiration for the Bai family's acupuncture.
He knew that the Bai family's acupuncture had a long history and its unique theories and techniques enjoyed a high reputation.
Now, Miss Jiang's medical skills have been integrated with it, and acupuncture has been brought to its extreme, creating remarkable therapeutic effects.
"Your Majesty's face has become rosy." A palace maid standing by said softly, her eyes flashing with joy and relief.
This subtle change is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for everyone who has been worried about His Majesty's illness.
Jiang Xue was delighted when she heard this, but she did not let her guard down.
She knew very well that although His Majesty's complexion had improved, the toxins had not been completely eliminated and treatment was still needed.
So, she quickly turned her gaze to the eunuch beside her and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the medicine?"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch bowed and replied, "I'll go and take a look right away." Then he turned and left.
However, at this moment, a cold and familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Don't look, I've delivered it."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yingyan walking in with big strides, holding an exquisite jade pot.
There was not much expression on his face, but his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
When Jiang Xue saw Yingyan, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With him around, there was no need to worry about the medicine. So, she nodded and motioned Yingyan to hand her the medicine.
Yingyan walked up to Jiang Xue and gently placed the jade pot in her hand, whispering, "The medicine has been boiled and the temperature is suitable. Please give it to His Majesty as soon as possible, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Xue took the jade pot and nodded slightly. Just as she was about to express her gratitude to Ying Yan, a clear and solemn announcement suddenly broke the silence in the room: "The Queen has arrived!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and turned to face the door, ready to welcome the queen.
Jiang Xue also quickly put away her thoughts, put the jade pot aside, tidied her appearance, and prepared to pay her respects to the queen.
Nangong Qin was dressed in a plain white dress with a simple wooden hairpin in her hair, but it was hard to hide her natural dignity and majesty. Her appearance was like a spring breeze, but with a solemnity that could not be ignored, which made the already tense atmosphere in the room even more solemn.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years." Jiang Xue knelt and saluted with everyone else, her voice revealing her infinite admiration for the Queen.
Nangong Qin raised her hand slightly and said gently but with dignity: "Everyone, get up, no need to be polite. His Majesty's condition is the most urgent matter at the moment." Although her voice was soft, it revealed her deep concern and worry for His Majesty.
Jiang Xue stood up immediately, secretly grateful for Nangong Qin's sympathy. She knew that every minute and every second was crucial, so she stepped forward and reported the emperor's condition in detail to the queen. "Your Majesty, although your Majesty is out of danger, the remaining poison in his body has not been cleared, and he still needs to continue to take medicine to recuperate. I and the other doctors are doing our best and will not let you down."
Nangong Qin nodded slightly after hearing this, her eyes revealing trust and expectation for Jiang Xue and the others. "I know that you are all doing your best for His Majesty's health. Miss Jiang, I just heard Chen'er mention your medical skills, and after seeing them today, I can see that they are indeed extraordinary. I hope you can continue to use your strengths to help His Majesty recover soon."
