The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Du Guier wanted to quibble again, but when her eyes met Yun Mujiu's cold and sharp eyes, all her excuses were cut short.

For some reason, she felt that if she continued to be stubborn, Princess Ye would definitely kill her. If she showed her vicious side, Princess Ye and even Prince Ye would definitely not show mercy to her.

"You damn girl, why don't you admit your mistake now! I haven't been able to diagnose anything, so don't show off in front of Princess Ye!" Master Du Gu stroked his white beard and scolded Du Guier mercilessly and madly.

He admitted that even if he took action, he would not be able to diagnose the fifth prince's leg disease, and he felt helpless in treating the fifth prince's leg disease.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Even Dudi Valley's most skilled doctor, Master Du, had no idea what was happening. Could anyone else in the world possibly heal the Fifth Prince? Even Princess Ye had a chance of curing the Fifth Prince.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor and Empress looked horrified. Imperial Concubine Yu's beautiful face, which was still smiling, froze for a moment.

As everyone lowered their heads in thought, no one noticed the fleeting smile of relief in the eyes of the Queen and Concubine Liang.

Yun Mujiu walked up to Valley Master Du and asked, "Miss Gui'er, do you still want to compete in medical skills?"

Du Guier bit her lip tightly and said, "No need, Princess Ye. My medical skills are limited, and His Royal Highness the Crane King's leg disease is really difficult to treat."

She lost completely.

"Okay." Yun Mujiu nodded lightly and added, "Medical skills are important, but medical quality is even more important."

Du Guier's face turned pale and her eyes were angry, but she couldn't say anything.

Yun Mujiu returned to the Fifth Prince's side, and his caring follower Du Ziheng even pulled up a piece of white curtain that was hanging down so that Yun Mujiu could see the Fifth Prince's face more clearly.

Yun Mujiu said to the Fifth Prince and everyone else, "The Fifth Prince's leg disease is a complication caused by an inflammation. In other words, the cause of his illness is not in his legs, but somewhere else."

Everyone was shocked, especially the doctors, who were completely stunned. The idea that the cause of the man's leg disability wasn't in the legs, but somewhere else in the body—such a bizarre perspective was simply unheard of.

Yun Mujiu turned around and exchanged glances with Ye Xiaohan. Amidst the crowd's confusion, he spoke again, "As for where it is? The lesion is in the Fifth Prince's spinal cord."

As he spoke, he used Du Ziheng as a human body template and used his hands to measure the location of the spinal cord.

The Emperor and Empress Yu Guifei opened their eyes wide, filled with disbelief. Meanwhile, in a corner where no one was paying attention, the Empress and Consort Liang clenched their fingers.

Yun Mujiu explained, "As far as I know, the Fifth Prince's legs were normal until he was three years old. At the age of three, he caught a cold and became seriously ill, with a persistent high fever. After that, his physical foundation deteriorated, and his legs began to deteriorate. First, he couldn't walk properly, then he couldn't stand, and then he lost all feeling in his legs."

He paused and continued, "After this, the Fifth Prince's health became increasingly worse. When the illness flared up, he suffered severe physical and mental discomfort, frequently vomiting black blood, and experiencing near-death experiences. His condition hasn't improved to this day, but has only gotten worse."

The Fifth Prince nodded slightly, and Concubine Yu also nodded with red eyes. What Yun Mujiu said about the Fifth Prince's situation was exactly the same as the reality.

Yun Mujiu paused, glanced around, and continued, "The Fifth Prince has been ill for so long, it's a great honor for him to have held on until now. He fell ill at the palace banquet before, and I examined him and examined his legs. In fact, I already had a general idea of his physical condition from that time."

She had previously privately told Ye Chuhe and Concubine Yu that if Ye Chuhe's legs didn't receive treatment, he might not survive the year. This pressing reality was also the reason why Concubine Yu and her son quickly sought her help privately.

"If he doesn't receive treatment, I'm afraid the Fifth Prince won't survive this winter." At this moment, Yun Mujiu uttered this stern statement again, shocking many people present.

Doctor Shi and several other imperial physicians were trembling with fear. In fact, they couldn't even estimate the time when the Fifth Prince would die as accurately as Princess Ye.

The emperor tapped his fingers lightly on the huanghuali dragon-patterned table on the couch, then looked at Yun Mujiu and asked seriously, "Princess Ye, are you saying that Chu He's illness is caused by his spinal cord?"

"Your Majesty, you can say that," Yun Mujiu said calmly. She then thought to herself, "But, it's not just that."

"Why is there a problem with the spinal cord?" the emperor asked again.

"I suspect the Fifth Prince fell seriously ill when he was three years old, causing his physical condition to decline severely, making his spinal cord susceptible to infection by external pathogens. Once the spinal cord is infected, it can also affect other parts of the body."

Yun Mujiu raised his sleeves slightly and continued, "Spinal cord inflammation and infection can easily lead to spinal cord damage and nerve necrosis in the lower limbs, eventually causing paralysis of both legs."

Everyone seemed to be thinking about something. The Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital, the Divine Doctor Du Digu, and the Divine Doctor Beihan all widened their eyes, amazed at Yun Mujiu's unique and insightful opinions and analysis.

The emperor frowned and asked directly, "Do you have any way to treat it?"

"You can try surgery."

In fact, as Yun Mujiu's pharmacy continued to grow and develop, some of her advanced medical concepts began to spread. In addition, Yun Mujiu had performed surgery on some extremely difficult cases, such as the Night King's leg disease and the Seventh Prince's eye disease, and the people had heard some of the ideas she conveyed.

Yun Mujiu looked at the expressions of Concubine Yu and her son, and then said, "To put it simply, there is a problem with the Fifth Prince's spinal cord. I need to perform surgery to resolve the spinal cord problem, and then I can better treat the Fifth Prince's leg disease."

Yun Mujiu had already discussed these matters privately with the Fifth Prince in the name of the Ye Palace. Now, she brought them up for the first time in front of everyone. The Fifth Prince smiled faintly and said, "Chu He thanks the Imperial Aunt. Please give Chu He a try. Chu He will bear the consequences himself."

Without surgery, he would surely die. With surgery, he still had a chance of survival. Moreover, the one who saved him was Yun Mujiu, and he believed this outstanding woman would be able to save him. If he died during the treatment, he would accept it.

The fifth prince turned around and tried to persuade his mother and father, saying things like "life and death are determined by fate, so you have to give it a try" and "what's more, the imperial aunt was the first person to diagnose the disease and formulate a treatment plan."

During this time, the Empress and Concubine Liang, mother and son, expressed their concern. Yun Mujiu gave the three of them a meaningful look before calmly speaking. She personally performed the surgery, and overall, the chances of success were high. Moreover, without further treatment, the Fifth Prince wouldn't last much longer.

Under Yun Mujiu's supervision, the arrangements for the Fifth Prince's surgery were quickly finalized...
