"Royal brother, you want her to treat my illness? Who knows if she's trying to harm me again? Even if I die, I won't let her treat me. "
"Shut up!"
Yan Yuan's face darkened a little more, and the irresistible dignity in his eyes made Yan Chang not dare to speak anymore. With tears in his eyes that were filled with grievance, he looked at Yan Yuan.
Liu Ruo Qing didn't want to waste anymore time. She walked to the front of Yan Chang and held her hand, preparing to check her pulse, but she was violently flung away by Yan Chang.
"Scram, I don't want you …"
The furious voice and struggling movements stopped in the next moment.
Liu Ruo Qing frowned her eyebrows in annoyance, she reached out and pressed on Yan Chang's acupoints, "If not for the letter in your brother's hand, do you think I would be willing to save you?"
She coldly looked at Yan Chang. The current Yan Chang had his mute acupoints and other few acupoints sealed, unable to speak nor move.
His hatred towards Liu Ruo Qing grew even stronger, but he could only glare at her.
Liu Ruo Qing ignored Yan Chang's gaze and sat in front of her. With a few fingers, she gently placed them on Yan Chang's veins and furrowed his brows in silence.
"As expected …"
Liu Ruo Qing muttered, her tightly knitted brows did not loosen.
Yan Yuan had successfully caught her muttering, "Do you know what's going on?"
From her tone, it seemed as if she had long since known what Chang'er's illness was like.
Liu Ruo Qing did not hide anything, and nodded: "That day, I casually took her pulse, and it was just a guess, now it's confirmed."
She retracted her hand from Yan Chang's wrist, and casually undid Yan Chang's acupuncture points. At the same time, a servant led the imperial physician over.
This was because the imperial doctors would come over everyday to check up on Yan Chang. Seeing Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing here, they were a bit surprised.
"Your humble servant greets the prince and princess consort."
"Yes."
Yan Yuan nodded, his gaze looking at Liu Ruo Qing, and continued to ask: "What's the situation with Chang'er now?"
"Liu Tian Xin, you dare to plot against this princess, you …"
After obtaining freedom, Yan Chang was so angry that he scolded Liu Ruo Qing profusely. If not for Yan Yuan's cold gaze stopping her, she might have thrown himself at him.
Liu Ruo Qing lightly swept a glance over her and ignored her. She then said to Yan Chang, "The princess' illness has dragged on for too long, if the cause of her illness was discovered before she was eight years old, it wouldn't be that troublesome to treat."
"Before eight?"
Yan Yuan was a little puzzled by her words, "Chang'er was poisoned when he was ten, how could he have been discovered when he was eight?"
"That's right, wangfei, the princess was ten years old when she was suddenly poisoned. For the past eight years, this humble servant has been doing his best to treat her and did not dare to neglect in the slightest."
The imperial physician quickly interrupted, afraid that Yan Yuan would blame him.
After all, although he had done his best, the princess' illness had not improved at all.
"That's right. You can't even decide when this princess will be poisoned. Just make a fool of yourself here and use this princess' life as a joke."
As if seizing the opportunity to ridicule Liu Ruo Qing, the corner of her mouth hooked up into a rather harsh smile.
Only Yan Yuan did not speak. He only used his pair of deep eyes to look at her calmly.
He didn't know why he trusted her so much. Looking at her smiling eyes, the confidence in them made it impossible for him to deny her words.
Even if she didn't know when Chang'er had been poisoned, he was still willing to hand her Chang'er.
Facing Yan Chang's harsh words, Liu Ruo Qing smiled but did not speak. Only when no one spoke did she look at Yan Yuan and answer: "Wrong, the princess' poison was brought out from the mother's womb. When I was ten years old, the poison started to spread to the internal organs, which was why it was discovered."
"Humph!" Stop putting on an act here. You were exposed just now, and you already started lying? "
Yan Chang didn't plan to listen to what Liu Ruo Qing had to say. If Yan Yuan was not here, she would have kicked her out long ago.
Liu Ruo Qing ignored Yan Chang and continued, "Princess's is a type of fetal poison, and could also be said to be an innate disease. This type of fetal poison is related to the mother's physique, and when the empress dowager carried the princess, she was already over forty years old, so the poison that was normally accumulated in her body could not be easily removed. It accumulated in her body, and this type of fetal poison is relatively rare, perhaps in the tens of thousands of people, there can only be one case."
Liu Ruo Qing spoke slowly, and when she heard the imperial physician speak, his eyes widened in astonishment. He did not even think about it.
"Before the princess was ten years old, she actually had symptoms. It's just that the symptoms aren't obvious, so it's not easy to detect."
As she spoke, her gaze was cast towards Yan Chang, who had an unfriendly expression the entire time.
"When the princess was young, every half month, her abdominal pain would become unbearable. It would last for two days at a time. Am I right?"
Yan Chang originally wanted to refute his, but the words that were about to come out of his mouth, retracted.
This situation had occurred when she was three years old, and every time she drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, it would be better.
The imperial physician was drenched in cold sweat as he listened. Had he made the wrong diagnosis in these past eight years?
No, to be exact, if what the Crown Princess Jing said was correct, it was that in the past ten years, he had made the wrong diagnosis and even delayed the princess' illness.
The imperial physician was so scared that his legs went soft. Back then, the princess was suffering from abdominal pain, so there were no other mistakes.
In addition, the medicine he used also stopped the Princess' abdominal pain. Although the Princess' illness occurred more frequently, no one took it to heart.
"Humph!" This princess' illness is not some secret, who knows where you heard it from. "
Yan Chang said in a bad mood, but from start to end, he did not believe what Liu Ruo Qing had said.
Liu Ruo Qing did not want to argue with Yan Chang. After withdrawing his gaze from her body, she said to the imperial physician, "The princess' fetal poison has been dragged on for more than ten years. If only we have discovered its cause now, it would not be so easy to cure."
Yan Chang thought that Liu Ruo Qing was finding an excuse for him, and the bottom of her eyes were full of ridicule and disdain.
"Is there any way to solve that?"
Yan Yuan, who had been silent this whole time, spoke up after hearing her words.
Compared to the clear distrust in Yan Chang's eyes, Yan Yuan had not revealed the slightest bit of doubt from start to finish, this made Liu Ruo Qing a little surprised.
She did not expect Yan Yuan to trust her so unconditionally, even though she did not have the status of a doctor.
She looked at him for a few seconds. She suppressed the waves in her heart and said: "Yes. The princess will have to suffer a bit."
"As long as I can cure the poison in her body, then I will suffer."
Hearing Yan Yuan's words, Yan Chang looked at him in disbelief, "Ninth Brother, how can you believe her?! How can she cure a poison that even the imperial doctors cannot?"
"You're about to die."
Liu Ruo Qing's indifferent voice sounded, without a trace of emotion, causing him to grind her teeth in anger.
