Fang Nanzhi quickly calmed down.

Now, no matter whether it is Shi Junyan or the prince lying here, their lives are at stake. Moreover, this is the imperial palace, and the emperor is standing outside the screen. She can't act recklessly.

She watched quietly, and then Old Zhou began to take her pulse, but it took longer than usual.

He frowned, and Fang Nanzhi couldn't help but hold his breath.

What's wrong? Is the problem really so big that even the teacher is stumped? Is Shi Junyan not feeling well?

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou put down Shi Junyan's hand and turned around: "You come."

Fang Nanzhi glanced outside and blinked, as if to say, "Me, me?"

Mr. Zhou just moved his chin and motioned her to go ahead.

Fang Nanzhi took a deep breath, sat on the footstool, put his hand on Shi Junyan's pulse, and observed his expression.

After a while, she moved her fingers and found that something was indeed wrong. No wonder her master had been taking her pulse for a long time. Why was her pulse so strange? It was as if there was something... in her body?

She confirmed that she had made no mistake and turned around to see that Mr. Zhou was already sitting there writing a prescription. He didn't seem to want to know what she had said, nor did he seem to want to point it out.

She stood up and wisely said nothing.

After Mr. Zhou finished writing the prescription, he took out a medicine box and placed it on top. He said to the eunuchs and doctors beside him, "The most important thing in this prescription is this pill. You all know the rules. Check it before giving it to the prince."

This is a pill that can suppress Shi Junyan's old illness, and it was developed based on previous research.

The imperial physicians immediately took it for examination without even bothering to look at Imperial Physician Xing's expression.

These are the pills and prescriptions developed by Old Zhou, and they are for the prince. Which medical practitioner would not be curious?

This medicine requires a certain dosage, so they didn't dare use too much when they took it for inspection, but they couldn't see the use of the pill. Someone smelled a few herbs, but they felt that they seemed to be paralyzing. How could this be used to detoxify?

They were confused, but no one dared to ask directly. After all, the medicine would not harm the prince's body, so they reported to the emperor and asked the eunuch beside them to feed the medicine.

Fang Nanzhi watched from the side and felt that there were so many rules here.

But it’s not their fault. Shi Junyan was in this state and he didn’t even know what happened.

After a while, Elder Zhou took the prince's pulse again and said, "Girl, give him acupuncture. The first needle should be placed at the Zhubin acupoint, and then..."

"Then there are the Liver Shu and Gallbladder Shu..."

Fang Nanzhi responded quickly, and Mr. Zhou smiled slightly, indicating his approval.

While the eunuch was feeding him medicine, Fang Nanzhi had already prepared for the acupuncture, disinfected the needle, and reminded the eunuch to take off Shi Junyan's outer clothes.

Just as she sat down beside the bed, Doctor Xing spoke in dissatisfaction, "Acupuncture is such an important matter, why don't you do it yourself, Elder Zhou? The prince is almost dying now, and you let this little girl who came from nowhere do it. Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"

Elder Zhou didn't even glance at him and bowed directly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this girl's acupuncture skills are no worse than those of ordinary people, and she has given acupuncture to the Crown Prince many times before. Please allow me to do so."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the hall, knelt down and saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed true. When he was in Huainan Prefecture, it was thanks to Miss Fang and Elder Zhou who treated the Crown Prince together that he never had an attack."

Fang Nanzhi couldn't help but look up at him. She felt that he looked familiar, but she didn't know his name.

In addition, she did give acupuncture to the prince, but if I remember correctly, it seemed that it was when she had just learned acupuncture and was looking for someone to practice with.

I dare not say this, for fear of losing my head.

Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned and waved his hand: "As long as you can cure the prince, you will be rewarded!"

This means you agree, but there must be no mistakes.

Fang Nanzhi immediately inserted the needle, and every acupuncture point was exactly as she had just said. Doctor Xing and the people from the Imperial Hospital saw that she was skillful and steady, and did not hesitate at all, so they felt relieved.

While Doctor Xing breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but become curious about where Teacher Zhou had kidnapped this girl who was so good at acupuncture. However, if he were to ask this question in this situation, he would not be able to do it without shame.

Fang Nanzhi also knew that this matter was of great importance, so she did not dare to slack off at all. She kept carefully observing Shi Junyan's condition. Fortunately, there were no accidents during the acupuncture process.

When she removed the last needle, she and the others who had been watching her breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time. Then she stood up and found that her legs were a little numb.

"Okay, the internal medicine that Master just prescribed can be given to Shi..." She almost blurted out Shi Junyan's name, then immediately changed her words, "You can give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drink."

The people on the side had already prepared the medicine and quickly brought it to feed the prince, but for a long time, there was no reaction at all. This should not be right. When detoxifying, the poison must be expelled.

But no one dared to speak out and what surprised them even more was that the prince's complexion gradually improved.

A full quarter of an hour passed before Mr. Zhou spoke.

"Alright, everyone, you can check on His Highness now."

The imperial doctors looked at each other and took turns to feel the patient's pulse. Each of them had a strange look on their face.

This shouldn't be the case.

How can detoxification be achieved without bleeding and vomiting blood? It seems like His Royal Highness is neutralizing the poison himself. Is this really okay? Won't the toxins just accumulate in the body?

They were completely confused and had a lot of questions they wanted to ask Mr. Zhou, but no one dared to speak carelessly. When reporting to the emperor, they could only say what they knew.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. His Highness is now safe, but we still need to observe his condition and see when he wakes up."

It was enough for the emperor to hear these words. You know, when he heard Doctor Xing say that the prince was dying, he was really furious. Only now did his expression finally look better.

Once the health crisis of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was resolved, there was no need for Old Zhou to stay in the palace. He gave a few instructions to the Imperial Hospital and the people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then took Fang Nanzhi out of the palace.

It was already evening. Fang Nanzhi waited until the carriage left the palace and had a lot of questions in her mind but she kept them to herself. Old Zhou noticed it, but he didn't say anything and told the coachman that he wanted to go back to the Zhou residence.

Fang Nanzhi became alert when he heard this.

"Master, in that case, I will follow you to visit your residence!"

Under normal circumstances, she thought the teacher would definitely agree, but she didn't expect that Mr. Zhou just waved his hand this time.

"It's getting late today. You should go back and rest for two days before coming back. As for what you want to know, wait until His Highness wakes up and let him tell you himself."

Fang Nanzhi's thoughts were all seen through by her master. Having said that, she knew that she would definitely not get the answers to the doubts in her heart today, and could only sigh.

"Yes, I understand."
