"Wei Xin!"

Shen Pei's gaze toward Wei Xin was icy cold; he believed in the principle of "if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."

Since he has chosen to believe Song Siyao, he will believe her.

Wei Xin was still resentful, but he had to obey Shen Pei's orders.

"Feel sorry……"

"Apologize to me after I've healed the prince's leg," Song Siyao interrupted Wei Xin.

"Alright, Miss Song, as long as you heal my prince's leg, I will not only apologize, but I will also do anything for you, even go through fire and water for you!" Wei Xin vowed confidently.

"Your Highness, it is true that your leg injury is external, but the real cause of your injury is poison. The external force at the time should not have been enough to injure your leg, but you were seriously injured because the poison has penetrated into your bone, changing your bone structure and making it thin and brittle. Even a light blow would shatter it into pieces."

Song Siyao explained, "Fortunately, the prince is physically strong and highly skilled in martial arts. Otherwise, that blow would have shattered the bones in the prince's two legs into dust, instead of just a simple broken bone like this."

Upon hearing Song Siyao's words, a cold light flashed in Shen Pei's eyes, as dazzling and piercing as the reflection of a thousand-year-old iceberg.

Wei Xin roared, "Who dared to lay such a cruel hand on the Prince? Once I find out, I will tear them to pieces!"

"That's not the cruelest part. The cruelest part is that this poison won't kill you in a short time. It will slowly eat away at all the bones in your body until it has consumed all the bones and you will die. During this time, you will experience excruciating pain, like being pierced by a thousand arrows, and you will not be able to stop the pain. You will die in agony."

Song Siyao looked at Shen Pei, "Your Highness, your legs must have started to hurt lately, right?"

Shen Pei felt a chill run down his spine, his inner shirt was soaked with cold sweat, and his face was pale.

He couldn't imagine how he would have spent the rest of his life if he hadn't met Song Siyao.

Why didn't the person who poisoned him just kill him directly, instead of using such a cruel method?

“Miss Song is absolutely right. It’s just that over the years I have searched for famous doctors all over the world, but none of them have been able to find the real cause of my leg injury. That’s why I’m pinning my last hope on Doctor Feng’s master.”

Shen Pei looked at Song Siyao and asked, "Miss Song, is there any way to cure my leg?"

“As long as I am here, I can cure it,” Song Siyao said with certainty.

The taut string in Shen Pei's heart snapped in that instant, the sound deafening, shattering the gloom in his heart.

Song Siyao continued, "Today I will first give you acupuncture, and then you will take the pills I made. But to completely cure your leg, you will need one more medicinal ingredient."

Wei Xin couldn't wait any longer. "Miss Song, just tell me what medicinal herbs you need, and I'll send someone to buy them right away."

"Unavailable." Song Siyao said calmly.

"Can't buy it? What kind of medicinal herb is it? Tell me, and I will bring it to you no matter what it takes." Wei Xin said with a determined expression.

"This poison is called Soul-Devouring Gu, and the only antidote is the Thousand-Year Grass," Song Siyao said.

The Soul-Eating Gu, true to its name, devours human bones, turning people into walking corpses just like it devours their souls.

"Thousand-year-old grass? I've never heard of it before. I'll send people to find it immediately." Wei Xin was somewhat excited; he seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.

"No need, I have it, it just hasn't fully grown yet."

The Thousand-Year Grass was inside Song Siyao's Soul-Capturing Bracelet. Since it had no soul, the Soul-Capturing Bracelet could not grow and therefore could not be used as medicine.

Song Siyao didn't want to reveal too much, so she changed the subject, "Your Highness, let's begin the acupuncture."

She had already taken the medicine box out of the Soul-Capturing Bracelet. The Soul-Capturing Bracelet was her secret, so of course she couldn't take things out of it in front of outsiders.

She opened her medicine box, took out silver needles, and was about to administer the treatment when the steward came to report, "Your Highness, Physician Feng has arrived."

Shen Pei did not answer immediately, but looked at Song Siyao and asked, "Miss Song, is it permissible for others to be present when you are administering acupuncture?"

“Permission granted,” Song Siyao said.

She was never afraid of others stealing her medical skills, because without her personal instruction, others could only see the form and would never learn the essence.

"Please let him in." Shen Pei was thinking that Doctor Feng had been treating his leg, and if Song Siyao wanted to ask about the condition of his leg, Doctor Feng would know more about it.

When Doctor Feng stepped into the room, he saw that Song Siyao had already begun to treat Shen Pei's leg with acupuncture.

His gaze fell on the medicine box next to him, and instantly, he stood frozen in place.

He was very familiar with that medicine box.

"Dr. Feng, please." The butler's voice pulled Dr. Feng back to reality.

He strode to Song Siyao's side, staring intently at her acupuncture technique, even forgetting to bow to Shen Pei.

Song Siyao's needle insertion speed was extremely fast. After she finished inserting the needles, she looked up and saw that Doctor Feng was staring at her.

"Is there something you need, Doctor Feng?"

Doctor Feng asked, "Was the acupuncture technique that Miss Song just performed called the Nine Orifices Soul-Returning Needle?"

“That’s right.” Song Siyao said in confusion, “How does Doctor Feng recognize my acupuncture technique?”

This acupuncture technique is her own creation, and she has not taught it to anyone to this day.

Doctor Feng suppressed his emotions and smiled, "I once saw a senior use this acupuncture technique, so I have some impression of it."

Song Siyao knew that Doctor Feng was not telling the truth, and she did not press him to ask who that senior was. She only asked, "Has Doctor Feng been treating the prince's leg before?"

"it's me."

"Your medical skills are excellent. Without you, the prince's leg would have been lost long ago." Song Siyao's tone was full of undisguised admiration. "Given time, Doctor Feng will surely achieve great things."

"Thank you very much, Miss Song." Doctor Feng said politely.

Wei Xin couldn't help but ask, "Miss Song, the Divine Physician Feng is famous throughout the world, everyone knows him. Isn't that considered a great achievement?"

Song Siyao said tactfully, "Dr. Feng still has room for improvement."

Doctor Feng was not angry, only shocked. Under heaven, besides that person, who else would dare to speak of him in such a way?

But that person just happened to...

Wei Xin was shocked. How dare Song Siyao speak so highly of Doctor Feng? Just how skilled was she? And what kind of person was she?

"Miss Song, my leg is moving!" Shen Pei suddenly shouted.

“It’s normal. It’s a nerve reflex, not something you did on your own,” Song Siyao said calmly.

Doctor Feng and Wei Xin gathered around. This was the first time they had seen Shen Pei's leg move since he was injured, and the two were overjoyed.

Shen Pei couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Miss Song's first acupuncture treatment has such an effect, it's truly remarkable!"

"Alright, that concludes today's acupuncture treatment. When is Your Highness available tomorrow? I'll continue." Song Siyao said calmly.

"I'm available anytime." Shen Pei's tone was much lighter.

Song Siyao packed her medicine box, handed the pills to Wei Xin, and instructed him on how to take them. Then she stood up and said, "Your Highness, I'm leaving."

"and many more."

Shen Pei stopped Song Siyao, "Miss Song, how should we calculate your consultation fee?"

"No consultation fee is required today; it is my gift of thanks to Your Highness."

"A thank-you gift?" Shen Pei asked, puzzled.
