Jiang Hao politely replied to the nanny and said no more, concentrating on examining the Empress Dowager's legs.

The Empress Dowager has rheumatoid arthritis in her legs. Her knee joints are swollen, painful, and her legs are stiff, which affects her normal walking. The symptoms are significantly aggravated after being exposed to cold wind, which is why the floor heating in the Empress Dowager's palace burns hotter than that of Emperor Suwen's.

The Empress Dowager had this illness since she was young. She began to have joint pain when she was in her thirties, and the pain became more and more serious every year.

Over the years, the Imperial Medical Bureau has tried every possible means, but apart from alleviating some pain during the severe winter, there is no other way, let alone a cure.

More than thirty years had passed, and the Empress Dowager had long been accustomed to it. It was only when the pain was unbearable that she would say a few discouraging words, which made the nanny's eyes red.

This is also the reason why she refused when the eldest princess suggested that Jiang Haolai take a look at her. She is already at this age and doesn't want to go through any more trouble.

"Queen Mother."

About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Hao finally spoke.

"County Lady, how is it?"

Mammy was a little impatient.

The Queen Mother's eyes also fell on Jiang Hao, waiting for her to say next.

Eunuch De was secretly worried for Jiang Hao, "Ancestor, please don't say you can't do it!"

Jiang Hao let go of her hand, asked the maid to fetch water to wash the Queen Mother's legs, then stood up and said, "Forgive me for being frank, but the Queen Mother's legs have been seriously ill for a long time, and the joints of her legs have been severely deformed. It is impossible to restore them to their original state. However, I can use acupuncture to relieve the pain, or even... make it no longer painful."

The Queen Mother did not hold out hope that she would be able to walk normally, but if she was no longer in pain and suffering, she would be very satisfied.

"Is this true?"

The Queen Mother's sharp eyes instantly brightened.

Jiang Hao nodded, and when she saw that the maid had cleaned her legs, she sat back in the chair and said, "Massage for 25 minutes first, then give me the acupuncture."

"I'll have to trouble you, Madam, to send someone to bring back the imperial physician just now."

The nanny didn't understand and looked at the Empress Dowager. After getting her approval, she immediately ordered the eunuch to call someone.

Jiang Hao's hands were not delicate, but the slightly rough feel coupled with the just the right amount of force made the empress dowager feel comfortable and sleepy.

When the nanny saw this, she was shocked again. Her eyes fell on Jiang Hao, only to find that he was neither arrogant nor impatient, and was concentrating on the task at hand.

Doctor Huang is back again.

He stood at the bottom, side by side with Eunuch De, and both of their eyes followed Jiang Hao's hands.

Quarter of an hour later, Jiang Hao started to give the acupuncture.

At this time, the Queen Mother had fallen asleep.

Jiang Hao's technique was very gentle, and the needles were inserted without waking the sleeping person. She stood up carefully and said to the nanny, "Please prepare paper and pen."

Soon, what Jiang Hao wanted was brought.

Eunuch De had excellent eyesight, and when he saw Jiang Hao was about to write, he immediately stepped forward to help grind the ink.

On the rice paper, the acupuncture points, which silver needle to use, how to insert the needle, and the time are all presented one by one.

Although Eunuch De had some doubts in his mind, he did not dare to disturb Jiang Hao. But after Jiang Hao wrote down the beautiful small characters, he seemed to understand what he was going to do.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Jiang Hao wrote six full pages before gently putting down his brush.

"What's your name, imperial physician?"

Doctor Huang, who was suddenly called, came back to his senses and said, "Please don't mention your surname Huang."

Jiang Hao nodded and pointed to the first four pages of paper and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Doctor Huang. From now on, I will give the Empress Dowager acupuncture according to this order and method."

"what?"

"This……"

Doctor Huang hesitated.
