🐇💗Extra chapter #7 dedicated to Caitlin 💗🐇
The Empress turned around and spoke, "I invited Miss Jiang here today because I want you to diagnose Little Nine's pulse."
Jiang Ning raised her face in surprise and looked at the Empress.
The Empress showed an expression of knowing everything, nodded slightly, and said, "I have heard that it was Miss Jiang who came to the rescue and saved Little Nine's life. Miss Jiang, thank you."
It all became clear at once.
Why did the Empress choose her when she handed over a blank piece of paper?
The Empress had never wanted them to compete in poetry writing from the beginning. Instead, she found a reason to bring her over to diagnose the Ninth Prince's pulse.
Jiang Ning nodded without being pretentious and walked over to check the Ninth Prince's pulse.
She sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed the Ninth Prince's wrist, and took his pulse carefully.
The Empress looked on, looking at her up and down.
Jiang Ning sat upright, with a serious look on her face, her brows slightly furrowed, and she was carefully checking the pulse.
There was a smile in the Empress' eyes. She was the woman Li'er liked. Li'er never revealed her thoughts. Even if she wanted to suggest a marriage to him, he would always look cold and indifferent.
And this Miss Jiang was mentioned by Li'er himself, and she must be the person he cares about the most.
If she didn't care, she wouldn't have specifically asked for her.
After a cup of tea.
Jiang Ning let go of his hand, and the result was already there.
"His Ninth Highness's heart pulse is much stronger than before and has improved. The Heart-protecting Pills have warmed and nourished His Highness's heart pulse. In the future, you can use more powerful medicine."
"If it can be combined with acupuncture, the effect will be doubled."
Jiang Ning said, turned her head, and happened to see the Empress' smiling eyes.
She was slightly startled.
The Empress' eyes were a little strange. Even if she was grateful for curing the Ninth Prince, she shouldn't have looked like this...
The Empress came over and said, "Ms. Jiang is really a kind-hearted person and has excellent medical skills."
Listening to the Empress' praise, Jiang Ning averted her eyes with some embarrassment, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
"Can Miss Jiang give Little Nine acupuncture now?"
"Of course." Jiang Ning responded. She took the silver needle bag with her and started to give the Ninth Prince acupuncture.
Acupuncture required opening the clothes, and she was a little worried about whether it would be bad to open the prince's clothes casually, but the Empress had no objection at all, and instead watched her movements with interest.
Jiang Ning gave the Ninth Prince acupuncture safely.
The Ninth Prince was thin and his skin was pale. Years of pain and suffering had left him in very bad health.
Fortunately, he met Jiang Ning who pulled him back from the dead in time.
As long as he take good care of his body patiently, he can cure his heart ailments.
Jiang Ning inserted the silver needles into the acupuncture points one by one. It took half a stick of incense to finish applying the needles.
Jiang Ning was afraid that he would move randomly, so she reminded him, "Don't move, these needles don't hurt."
The Ninth Prince looked over blankly, and when he saw Jiang Ning, he murmured, "It's you..."
"Your Highness is awake!" the female officer said.
The Empress walked over and held the Ninth Prince's hand, "Little Nine, how do you feel?"
The Ninth Prince opened his mouth to say something, but there was a needle in his heart and he did not dare to move.
The Empress immediately said, "No need to speak, just give the acupuncture quietly."
The Ninth Prince lay quietly on the bed, glancing at Jiang Ning several times with his bright black eyes, and finally looked at her openly.
Jiang Ning's entire mind was focused on the silver needle, and she didn't notice the expressions of others.
After half a stick of incense, Jiang Ning pulled out the silver needles one by one. At this time, the Ninth Prince fell into a deep sleep.
"Empress, the acupuncture has been completed. The Ninth Prince will take Heart-protecting Pills every day. I will make more powerful pills and send them over next time."
The Empress nodded, "Okay."
"Then..." Jiang Ning stood up. Now that she had finished diagnosing the Ninth Prince's pulse, it was time for her to return to the banquet.
Just as she was about to excuse herself and leave, she found that her sleeve was pulled, and the Ninth Prince held her sleeve tightly and fell asleep.
She secretly tried to pull out her sleeves, but she was afraid of hurting the Ninth Prince, so she could only open the Ninth Prince's hand bit by bit.
The Empress smiled and said, "It seems that Little Nine trusts you very much. This child has suffered a lot since childhood and it is difficult to get close to others, but he trusts you so much... You have to go to the palace to visit him often. Little Nine's illness is left up to you."
"This girl will do my best," Jiang Ning replied.
The Empress ordered the female officer to send her back.
Jiang Ning walked out of Kunning Palace, and the Empress' eyes kept falling on her until she was out of sight.
At this time, the old nanny suddenly exclaimed, "Empress Mother, you forgot to give Miss Jiang a reward. Do you want to call Miss Jiang back?"
The Empress prepared a box of precious things to reward Jiang Ning.
But she forgot about it and is about to chase preparing to call her back.
"Wait, no need." The Empress said.
The old mama was puzzled. Miss Jiang saved His Highness Ninth Prince, so she should be rewarded.
The Empress said, "Send the things to Li'er."
"Give it to Master Chu?" The old woman was startled.
"Let Li'er take it to Miss Jiang in person to express my gratitude." The Empress said.
The old nanny was stunned for a moment before she realized that the Empress was trying to connect Master Chu and Miss Jiang!
The Empress was really worried. Yunli was dull and didn't understand these things between men and women, nor how to please a woman, so she could only arrange more opportunities for them to meet.
She thought that Miss Jiang was a good person, with a pure heart and a good medical skill, which made her a perfect match for Yunli.
The old nanny nodded, "I will send someone to send the things to Lord Chu."
Another place.
Jiang Ning returned to the flower viewing party.
As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes fell on her.
Soon a group of people gathered around and asked, "Miss Jiang, what is the reward given by the Empress? Can you take it out so that we can take a look?"
"What kind of poem did Miss Jiang write?"
"What did the Empress say?"
The noble ladies were very curious as to what poem she had written that could catch the eyes of the Empress.
Jiang Ning suddenly became the focus of everyone.
One of them stared at her with jealous eyes. Princess Hualian clenched her fists and looked unkind.
"Jiang Ning..."
Princess Hualian's voice was cold, the relationship was finally settled!
Jiang Ning noticed a sight and saw the jealous look of Princess Hualian.
Princess Hualian snorted coldly, turned and left.
Jiang Ning's face was calm. She was not used to being surrounded by people. She answered a few words perfunctorily and walked to the corner.
The flower viewing party returned to its usual appearance.
When the banquet was over, Jiang Ning left the palace and took a carriage back to the Marquis' Mansion.
