Imperial Physician Dong was masterful in his medical techniques, especially in gynecology. With one touch of Jin Manâs wrist, he was about seventy to eighty percent sure of what was wrong.
However, he would not make any presumptions without knowing the full details.
Having spent a long time in the palace, imperial physicians had their own ways of protecting themselves.
While treating a patient was important, they also valued their own lives.
Imperial Physician Dong left the room to consider the treatment. When Li Yuanyuan followed him to inquire about Jin Manâs condition, he only gave vague responses and didnât elaborate.
Li Yuanyuan had some guesses.
Since the Princess Consort casually revealed that Jin Liangyuan had taken medicine, it definitely wasnât something she had done.
Looking at Jin Liangyuanâs condition, she looked somewhat happy to see the Crown Prince, showing no signs of resentment or mistreatment. From this, it could be inferred that Jin Liangyuan took the medicine willingly and was not forced by anyone.
She took it voluntarily.
As for the consequences of taking this medicine, Li Yuanyuan couldnât predict.
In any case, it had attracted the Crown Princeâs attention, so it could be considered successful.
Li Yuanyuan walked to the doorway and saw the Crown Prince speaking to the Princess Consort, she then gave a light laugh to her trusted palace maid, âDo you see? Despite Jin Liangyuanâs agony, His Highnessâs eyes are fixed on the Princess Consort. It seems Jin Liangyuanâs scheme will not work.â
The palace maid nodded, âExactly. Everyone can see that the Crown Prince truly cares about the Princess Consort.â She glanced at her own mistress and quickly added, âAnd the Crown Prince cares about you too.â
Li Yuanyuan smiled lightly, âI understand it all, you donât need to comfort me. The Crown Prince is always cautious with me, he doesnât fully trust me.â
âYouâre already Side Concubine of the Crown Prince. Even if a new woman arrives, you would be the most important woman in the East Palace after the Princess Consort. Youâve been with the Crown Prince for a longer time than the Princess Consort. He cherishes old feelings.â
Li Yuanyuan sighed, âYes, all I wish for is to preserve these old feelings. Letâs go, we should take care of Jin Liangyuan. We canât let the Princess Consort do it herself.â@@novelbin@@
She went to get the medicine, brewed it, and carried it with a napkin, offering it to Jin Man to drink.
Jin Man was in unbearable pain and didnât care about anything else, she gulped down the bowl of medicine and then lay listlessly on the bed, her long hair loose and framing her pale face, her emerald eyes also seemed to have lost some of their sparkle.
Li Hongyuan had already learned what had happened from Jiang Ning.
Having grown up in the palace, he had seen all kinds of tricks women used in the harem and was not particularly startled by Jin Manâs actions.
âWhat did Imperial Physician Dong say?â Li Hongyuan asked Li Yuanyuan.
Li Yuanyuan, who was wiping the sweat from Jin Manâs face with a handkerchief, hurriedly responded, âHis Highness, Master Dong said that Jin Liangyuanâs illness is urgent but not life-threatening. With timely medication and half a monthâs rest, she will recover. She needs to keep warm and avoid catching a cold. Howeverâ¦â
She paused.
Li Hongyuan said, âGo on.â
âYes.â Li Yuanyuan glanced at Jin Man and lowered her voice, âImperial Physician Dong said that Jin Liangyuan might have some difficulties in pregnancies in the future.â
Jin Man, who was lying with her eyes closed, was indifferent to this.
After her words, no one else seemed surprised, except for Li Yuanyuan herself.
After observing everyoneâs reactions, Li Yuanyuan had a clear understanding.
Surprising as it was, she also found it pitiful.
A foreign girl was presented as a gift to the Imperial Palace. Originally meant for the Emperor, she ended up as the Crown Princeâs woman.
