"Bai He, Shao Yao, go invite Uncle Luo and Seventh Brother over," Yang Mengchen arranged things in an orderly fashion: "Mu Jin and Shan Cha, prepare the medical instruments, Wu Tong and Hong Ling will be responsible for decocting the medicine, and Sister Jin, Hai Tang, and Lv Luo, come with me."
They all took their orders and left.
Yang Mengchen and her companions had just reached the first floor's living room when Long Xuanmo, accompanied by a group, arrived. Four guards carried a stretcher on which lay the Grand Prince, with his eyes tightly closed.
"Ah Jiu, the Imperial Uncle suddenly fainted and remains unconscious. The Imperial Physicians are all at a loss. You are our last hope."
By his side, Prince Ning wore the Purple Gold Crown and was dressed in a Five-color Cloud Pattern Dress. Under his neither-too-thick-nor-too-thin sword eyebrows, his eyes were deep as the ocean. With a high nose bridge, the man exuded an elegant demeanor.
Quietly observing Yang Mengchen, he noticed her expression was calm and composed, her attitude neither servile nor overbearing, and a flicker of appreciation crossed Prince Ning's eyes.
No wonder Xuan Mo spoke so highly of the young girl on the way here. Although she hailed from a rural background, the natural elegance that surrounded her was something that even many well-known ladies of the capital could not match.
The following Imperial Physicians, seeing how young Yang Mengchen was, all scoffed in derision and disdain, except for Doctor Yao and another younger man.
Catching the expressions of the several Imperial Physicians, Yang Mengchen frowned slightly but quickly regained her tranquil composure: "Carry him to the medical hut, please."
Long Xuanmo sighed in relief and immediately ordered the guards to carry the man to the medical hut behind.
"Young girl (Jiumei), what has happened?"
At this moment, Doctor Luo and Yang Cheng'an, along with others led by Bai He and Shao Yao, arrived, just in time to see Long Xuanmo and the others heading towards the medical hut, hence they asked in confusion.
Yang Mengchen explained softly, "A few days ago, the Prince sent me a message via carrier pigeon, saying the Grand Prince had a sudden attack of a serious illness, beyond the help of Imperial Physicians. He hoped that I could help treat him. I was not confident, so I asked Uncle Luo and Seventh Brother to come for a joint consultation."
"I see." They suddenly understood, which explained why the girl (Jiumei) had sent someone to ask them to return this morning the previous evening.
"Let's go." The group proceeded to the medical hut, and along the way, Doctor Luo said to Yang Mengchen, "The Grand Prince was the eldest son of the former Emperor. He was born to Consort Duan who died from complications during childbirth, and he was raised by the current Empress Dowager.
At the time of the former Emperor's passing, a palace coup occurred, and had it not been for the Grand Prince—who held command over the Imperial Guard and support from the former Emperor's will—firmly standing with the Emperor, the state of affairs in the nation would be uncertain. Now, the Grand Prince is stationed at the border close to Xiliang Country."
Yang Mengchen nodded slightly, "I will do my utmost."
She discerned three implications from Uncle Luo's words: first, the Grand Prince was upright and just, a pillar of the state; second, the Grand Prince had a close relationship with the Emperor's lineage; and third, if anything were to happen to the Grand Prince, the border areas would likely become unstable.
Arriving at the medical hut, Yang Mengchen had Uncle Luo and Seventh Brother examine and take the Grand Prince's pulse. After they finished, she then stepped forward to take the pulse herself.
The several Imperial Physicians who looked down on Yang Mengchen and her brother did not dare underestimate Doctor Luo. After all, Doctor Luo had been granted the title of Duke of Anguo by the Emperor and truly possessed exceptional medical skills.
Importantly, the new medicines developed at the Apricot Forest Hall had begun a new era in the medical field with their remarkable efficacy, earning their earnest respect.
Taking a look at Yang Mengchen, Doctor Luo reported truthfully, "Prince Ning, Prince, the Grand Prince has a blockage in the blood vessels of his brain, leading to insufficient blood and qi throughout his body, causing him to faint and remain unconscious."
The faces of the Imperial Physicians turned pale.
They too had diagnosed the Grand Prince with a blood vessel blockage, but they were unclear about the specific location. They had not expected Doctor Luo to make such a precise diagnosis. Indeed, Doctor Luo had exceptional medical skills.
