Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Zhenzhen readied her silver needles, poised to begin the acupuncture procedure on the Empress Dowager. The tension in the room was palpable; everyone held their breath.
Especially the two imperial physicians, who were silently hoping they could prevent Qin Zhenzhen from proceeding, fearing potential repercussions down the line.
Yet, the Empress Dowager had just given her consent for Qin Zhenzhen to attempt the treatment.
Prior to commencing the acupuncture, Qin Zhenzhen produced another pill and offered it to the Empress Dowager. “Please take this painkiller pill to alleviate any discomfort during the acupuncture.”
“Empress Dowager, would you like to take it?”
Despite having granted permission for the treatment, the Empress Dowager, who cherished her life dearly, couldn’t shake off her unease. She worried that Qin Zhenzhen might tamper with the pill, possibly adding some slow-acting poison as an act of vengeance against her grandmother.
The overseeing nanny comprehended the unspoken concerns. A single glance communicated the need for action. Without hesitation, two imperial physicians stepped forward. One of them gently intervened, saying, “Empress Dowager possesses a divine constitution. She mustn’t take medication casually.” 142.93.60.102
Another person added, “For the sake of safety, Empress Dowager, let me examine the pill’s composition.”
The Empress Dowager temporarily withheld her further queries.
Under the vigilant gaze of the two imperial physicians, Qin Zhenzhen calmly inserted silver needles into specific acupuncture points on the Empress Dowager’s body.
The acupuncture session lasted no longer than the time it took for an incense stick to burn down. By its conclusion, the Empress Dowager had drifted into a deep slumber, her peaceful countenance speaking volumes.
The two imperial physicians breathed a collective sigh of relief.
This seemingly inexperienced young woman had more than lived up to her reputation.
It was truly astounding. She had seamlessly combined their familiar acupuncture techniques with her mastery of acupoint medical massage, rendering the Empress Dowager into a tranquil sleep.
Could it be the lingering effect of the earlier painkiller pill?
Nonetheless, they had previously verified that the painkiller was made from entirely commonplace medicinal herbs.
If, however, Miss Qin genuinely alleviated the Empress Dowager’s headache, it would earn her the heartfelt gratitude of all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Physician Court.
This would mean an end to their relentless anxiety, the fear of being summoned incessantly to attend to the Empress Dowager’s ailments, and the inevitable scolding and punishment that would follow.
The overseeing nanny also breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly signaled for everyone to depart silently, allowing the Empress Dowager to continue her slumber undisturbed.
Outside the chamber, the imperial physicians stationed there encircled the two who had emerged and eagerly awaited their account of the events transpiring inside..
