Chapter 526 "Silver Needle to Stop Bleeding"
Prince Guo, who was running quickly while pulling Zhen Huan, was only interested in bringing her to a safe, open place and had no time to care about her feelings at the moment.
When they finally arrived at the wide open space outside Anqi Temple, Zhen Huan, who didn't know how to face Prince Guo, fell down softly under the shock of surprise and joy.
Prince Guo, who was looking back, saw this and quickly caught the person.
"Huan'er..."
Before Zhen Huan fell into darkness, she heard Prince Guo's sharp and affectionate cry. Her heart seemed to be pulled hard, and she was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.
When Cui Jinxi saw Bai Zhi running over from the other side, she quickly reminded her softly.
"Your Majesty, the Master is not feeling well, please don't hold me so tightly."
"I was in a hurry at the moment, please forgive me, Aunt Jinxi."
Prince Guo, who was holding Zhen Huan, felt that her weight had become much lighter, and relaxed his grip in panic.
Bai Zhi ran over panting and pretended to be surprised when she saw the familiar face.
"My lord, you are finally back!"
"The master used to look forward to you appearing before her day and night, but now..."
Cui Jinxi was afraid that Bai Zhi would not take the matter seriously and reveal the fact that Zhen Huan was pregnant, so she hurriedly interrupted her.
"Baizhi, this earth dragon's tumbling is still going strong and we don't know when it will end. The master has fainted again. Come with me back to the courtyard to get the medicine bag I prepared earlier."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Prince Guo.
"Your Highness, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my master."
"Don't worry, Aunt Jinxi. I will take good care of Huan'er."
When Prince Guo replied, his eyes never left the face of the person in his arms.
Cui Jinxi hurriedly pulled Bai Zhi away, and after jogging for a distance, she lowered her voice and gave instructions.
"The Emperor has issued an imperial decree. The Master will return to the palace soon. The matters between the Master and the Prince should be resolved between them. We servants should not interfere."
"Especially the truth about the master's pregnancy. You must not reveal it to the prince. Otherwise, if the prince can't stand it and makes a fuss, no one can escape the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Aunt Jinxi, Baizhi knows the seriousness of the matter."
Carrying the basket, she looked back at Zhen Huan who was being held in Prince Guo's arms in the distance, and sighed softly.
"Everything is determined by fate, and we have no control over it!"
There was a sigh in her words, and it was unclear whether she was referring only to Zhen Huan.
"Aunt Jinxi, the master's condition is unclear right now. Would you like to ask Doctor Wen to come and take a look?"
Cui Jinxi, feeling annoyed, avoided the stone that rolled in front of her and explained with a serious face.
"When Doctor Wen left last time, he said he would come to check the master's pulse today. This person should be on the way."
"Indeed, considering how much Doctor Wen cares about the master, he should hurry over."
What the two of them didn't know was that Wen Shichu, whom they were discussing, had encountered a difficult decision.
Gao Changjin, who was covering his head in pain, shouted happily to the people standing on the side of the road.
"Doctor Wen, I went to Ganlu Temple today to deliver a reward to the Empress. When the earth dragon turned over, I accidentally startled the horse and fell out of the carriage. I beg you to save my life."
Wen Shichu took a step forward and a gentle voice came out.
"Eunuch Gao is loyal to Concubine Zhen, and I, Wen, will do my utmost to serve you."
Gao Changjin looked at Wen Shichu through the warm blood and saw that he agreed, so he quickly made a promise.
"I will definitely repay Doctor Wen for saving my life one day!"
Wen Shichu repeated in a low voice, "Life-saving grace? But that's not what I want."
Unfortunately, Gao Changjin, who had lost too much blood and was almost fainting, didn't hear it.
"Eunuch Gao, I, Wen, am checking your Majesty's pulse primarily to support the pregnancy, so I don't have any hemostatic powders on me. But don't worry, our family has a set of silver needles passed down from generation to generation. Punctures on the appropriate acupuncture points can stop the bleeding."
"Then there's Dr. Lawrence."
Gao Changjin had heard from his subordinates that Wen Shichu had good intentions, so he felt at ease handing himself over to him.
Wen Shichu carefully observed the bleeding wound on Gao Changjin's head and discussed it gently.
"Eunuch Gao, your injury is on the head. I would like to perform acupuncture on your head. Do you agree?"
Gao Changjin, noticing that his body was getting colder and his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, how could he dare to disagree?
As soon as he agreed, Wen Shichu reverently took out an ancient small box carved with lotus patterns from the medicine box.
When the box was opened, inside was a roll of soft sheepskin wrapped with several shiny silver needles.
Wen Shichu pulled out a slender and sharp silver needle with trembling hands, and countless struggles and hesitations flashed in his eyes.
Finally, at Gao Changjin's urging, a needle was injected into his head.
After the silver needle was inserted, Wen Shichu closed his eyes and turned gently.
He is not wrong!
If Gao Changjin, who was obsessed with power and wanted to climb up the social ladder, had not led the emperor to Lingyun Peak, Huan'er would not have been forced to return to the palace.
Even though Huan'er couldn't forget Prince Guo in a short time, Wen Shichu always believed that sincerity could move mountains and break stones.
Huan'er will be moved by his persistence one day.
But all this was ruined by this damn eunuch in front of him!
There is no possibility for him to have Huan'er again in this life.
Gao Changjin felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he guessed that the silver needle inserted by Wen Shichu had taken effect.
So I said thank you vaguely.
"Imperial Physician Wen is indeed the most kindhearted physician in the palace. I will definitely speak well of you in front of Concubine Zhen."
"Eunuch Gao, there's no need for sweet words. This silver needle will stop the bleeding and make you sleepy."
Wen Shichu gently wiped the wound that was about to scab and carefully let out the warm blood.
"You can sleep peacefully. When the bleeding stops, I will take you back."
"Okay, then we have Dr. Lawrence."
Gao Changjin allowed himself to close his eyes.
Wen Shichu kept his promise and waited until the hole on Gao Changjin's head scabbed over again.
He put his hand under the other person's nose, was stunned for a few breaths, then slowly pulled out the silver needle, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and threw it into the medicine box.
The Wen family's ancestral teachings are to save the world and save people, but he broke the rules.
Once he confirms that Huan'er in Ganlu Temple is safe and sound, he will apologize in front of his ancestors.
Just as Wen Shichu was about to carry Gao Changjin out of the ditch, he suddenly heard the neighing of a horse.
He hurriedly climbed out of the ditch and tried to lead the frightened and weak-legged horse aside.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse's raised hooves passed by his eyes. He could even feel the horse's warm breath.
The horses still running outside at this time must have been trained at great expense by the noble families in the capital.
"Excuse me......"
The unfamiliar visitor interrupted him anxiously.
"Doctor Wen, Madam Zhen has fainted from shock. I have been ordered to ask you to go and take her pulse!"
Wen Shichu's heart tightened.
"The Queen fainted? I'll go right away."
Without verifying the identity of the person who came, he used the other person's strength to climb onto the horse's back.
The horse he brought and Gao Changjin in the ditch had long been forgotten by him.
