The next day, when Jiang Ning was preparing the antidote in the room, an old nanny came to the palace and said that the Empress had invited her.
Jiang Ning put down the medicinal materials in her hand, told Chunlan not to let anyone touch it, and then walked out.
The Empress Mother's summons should be for her to diagnose the Ninth Prince's pulse.
When the old nanny saw Jiang Ning, she smiled slightly and said, "Miss Jiang, the Empress forgot to give you a reward last time you composed a poem at the Flower Appreciation Banquet. This time, the Western Regions have sent a lot of tribute, and the Empress asked you to go over and choose the reward."
Jiang Ning knew that what the old woman said was just superficial.
On the surface, she was asked to enter the palace and the Empress would give her a reward, but in fact, she was asked to enter the palace to diagnose the pulse of the Ninth Prince.
She nodded slightly, "I understand, please wait a moment, Nanny, and I'll change my clothes and come over."
"Yes."
The news that the Empress sent the nanny on her side spread around the Marquis Mansion. After learning the news, the old lady nodded, "Ning Ning is lucky to be in the Empress' eyes."
Lord Jiang was also pleasantly surprised. His own daughter, who was not outstanding at first, had such ability to please the Empress. It seemed that he would not have to worry about her in the future.
At least she is more useful than that rebellious girl.
For the first time, Marquis Jiang felt lucky to have brought back his own daughter and not let her pearl fall into dust.
Only Madam Lin was worried. She immediately went to Ning'an courtyard and whispered, "Be careful with your words and actions after entering the palace..." Madam Lin was worried about her daughter. The palace is a place full of wolves and tigers. If she accidentally offends a noble person, she will die without knowing how.
If possible, she really don’t want Ning Ning to enter the palace.
Jiang Ning nodded, "Mother, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
She just entered the palace to diagnose the Ninth Prince's pulse, and with the Empress' protection, nothing would happen.
Jiang Ning followed the old nanny into the palace.
Kunning Palace.
Jiang Ning saw the Empress and she bowed politely and said, "I have met the Empress."
The Empress waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite. Little Nine's health has improved a lot after taking the medicine prepared by Miss Jiang. Thank you very much Miss Jiang."
"You're welcome, Madam. It's my duty as a doctor to treat patients."
"Miss Jiang...can I call you Ningning?"
"Of course." Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
The Empress smiled. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that Jiang Ning was well-behaved and kind. She was very satisfied. She and Li'er were like a match made in heaven.
"Where is His Highness Ninth Prince now?" Jiang Ning asked.
A figure walked in from outside the hall, "Sister Jiang!"
Jiang Ning turned around and saw that the Ninth Prince was already able to move around freely, his face looked fresh and he was back to health.
After taking the heart-protecting pills prepared by Jiang Ning, the Ninth Prince felt that his heart did not hurt so much. He used to be out of breath when he took two steps, but now he is fine after walking for a long distance.
"Sister Jiang, you're here!" The Ninth Prince smiled brightly, showing absolute trust in Jiang Ning.
When he was in crisis, Jiang Ning was by his side, which made him feel extremely at ease.
Jiang Ning looked up and down and nodded, "Not bad, you are recovering well."
"Are we still going to have acupuncture today?" the Ninth Prince asked.
Jiang Ning went to take the Ninth Prince's pulse first. After taking the pulse, she shook her head and said, "There is no need for acupuncture, just continue to take the pills."
"That's great..." The Ninth Prince let out a long sigh of relief. Although the acupuncture didn't hurt, he still felt scared when such a long silver needle penetrated his body.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "His Highness's health has improved. I want to see how much His Highness's heart and lungs have recovered. Let's go out and check."
"How to check?" The Ninth Prince was stunned. Is there any other method besides diagnosing the pulse?
"Run."
The Ninth Prince had been frail and sickly since he was a child. He was like a pot of medicine and would get out of breath even after walking a few steps. Therefore, he never thought about running, and the servants did not dare to let him move much.
The Ninth Prince was a little nervous, "Sister Jiang, can I really run?"
Jiang Ning nodded, "It's okay for a short while."
The Ninth Prince looked delighted, "Then let's go to the Imperial Garden! I haven't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time..."
When the two of them arrived at the Royal Garden, Jiang Ning said, "Your Highness, let's give it a try. Just run from here to the tree over there."
"Okay." The Ninth Prince clenched his hands nervously.
He should have been in a lively and active age, but because of his heart disease, he could only stay in the palace all day.
Sometimes the Ninth Prince envied other princes and princesses who could climb trees, jump rope, and play shuttlecock, but he could not do anything.
The Ninth Prince ran nervously, his face turning red.
I ran under the tree, panting.
But there was no stabbing pain in his heart, no heart muscle trouble.
"Sister Jiang, I...huhu...I can really run..."
Jiang Ning walked over and took the Ninth Prince's pulse. After confirming that everything was fine, she nodded, "Yes, the heart and lungs have gradually returned to normal."
"Thank you, Sister Jiang, for saving my life..." The Ninth Prince raised his face and looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked at the delicate little man and couldn't help but reach out and rub his head. "You can't run around outside anymore in the future. You must not sneak out of the palace by yourself. Do you understand?"
The Ninth Prince's face turned red. He hated it when others touched him, but he felt very comfortable when sister Jiang touched his head.
He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
At this time, the Ninth Prince saw a figure from the corner of his eye and immediately asked, "Who is it?"
When Jiang Ning heard someone, she immediately retracted her hand and stood up straight.
I hope the scene of her rubbing the Ninth Prince's head was not seen.
Not far away, a figure slowly walked over, it was the Fourth Prince Li Hexuan.
"Brother Four Prince?" The Ninth Prince asked in surprise.
Li Hexuan walked over slowly and nodded slightly to Jiang Ning, "Miss Jiang, I didn't expect that we would meet again, still in the palace."
Jiang Ning bowed politely and said, "I have met His Highness the Fourth Prince."
Li Hexuan's face was difficult to see through. His eyes fell on her, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Jiang Ning pulled the Ninth Prince and was about to leave, "Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, let's go back. The Empress must have been waiting for a long time."
"Wait a minute."
Li Hexuan called her to stop.
Jiang Ning stopped and asked, "Your Highness, is something wrong?"
Li Hexuan's eyes were fixed on her face, "Miss Jiang's medical skills are so good, why don't you want to treat me? Do you have a problem with me?"
"..."
Jiang Ning didn't expect to bump into the fourth prince here, and to see her diagnosing someone's pulse.
She shook her head and said, "How dare I have an opinion against His Highness? My medical skills are shallow and I don't dare to treat Your Highness."
Li Hexuan curled up his lips and said, "Your medical skills are still shallow? Miss Jiang has already cured Little Nine's heart disease. Is this called your medical skills being shallow?"
Jiang Ning "..." had nothing to say for the second time.
She was seen diagnosing the pulse of the Ninth Prince just now. The Fourth Prince was smart and could naturally guess that it was her who was treating the Ninth Prince.
