The Grand Princess collapsed too suddenly, and the accompanying wet nurse Xu couldn't steady her.
Fortunately, Su Xiao Qi reacted quickly and reached out to support her, whispering, "It's okay, it will be okay."
The Grand Princess shook her head, her eyes filled with unshed sadness.
As the two entered, they saw a large crowd gathered around the bed.
Some were familiar to Su Xiao Qi, but most were not.
The person who had just spoken was an elderly man in official robes.
He had a goatee, a ruddy complexion, and appeared quite spirited.
He tidied up his medicine chest and walked out of the room with his apprentice.
The Grand Princess hurried forward to block his path and asked urgently,
"Imperial Physician Lu, you just said my Imperial Brother's injury..."
Imperial Physician Lu Mingyang shook his head and said, "The Prince's injury has infected his heart and lungs. Forgive my shallow medical skills, I cannot cure it."
The Grand Princess's face turned pale upon hearing this. Her heart ached as if she wanted to cry, and her steps felt weak and unsteady.
She slowly stepped inside and saw Duan Wang, Liang Qi Ye, lying on the bed.
He was in his thirties, a golden age for a man, his most magnificent time.
But now he could only lie on the bed, his face ashen as paper, his eyes tightly closed, his brows furrowed in a way that stirred one's heart.
The Grand Princess pursed her lips: Why was her Imperial Brother so unfortunate?
In the first half of his life, he was falsely accused, his position as Crown Prince was abolished, and he endured over ten years of suffering.
Now, with the efforts of many, his grievances had finally been cleared, and a good outcome was in sight.
But now he was severely injured and his life was in danger.
No, wasn't it said that he was just pretending?
The Grand Princess's eyes lit up. She motioned to Concubine Li, who was guarding Duan Wang, to dismiss everyone, as she wanted to ask Duan Wang herself.
Concubine Li knew the deep affection between the Grand Princess and her Prince. Her concern for the Prince was no less than her own as his wife, so she beckoned and led the people away.
Upon seeing Su Xiao Qi following the Grand Princess, she hesitated before asking, "Your Highness, who is this?"
"Xiao Qi is a physician. If others cannot save him, she can," the Grand Princess replied with certainty, both to reassure herself and Concubine Li.
Concubine Li's heart trembled, and she looked at Su Xiao Qi with a hint of anticipation.
She believed the Grand Princess would not harm the Prince.
With everyone gone, the Grand Princess threw herself onto the stool by the bed and cried while holding Liang Qi Ye's hand.
Su Xiao Qi was taken aback. Hearing the undisguised pain in the Grand Princess's voice, she knew she had been holding back for a very long time, enduring immense hardship.
She didn't disturb the Grand Princess and found an empty spot to feel Duan Wang's pulse.
The situation was indeed as Imperial Physician Lu had said.
Initially, Duan Wang's injury had not reached his heart and lungs, and he could still be saved with medicine and a few days of rest.
However, due to improper care and incorrect medication, the injury had spread to his heart and lungs.
In layman's terms, the wound had not been properly disinfected and had become inflamed.
Therefore, Duan Wang now had a persistent fever and his body was burning hot.
Su Xiao Qi lifted the wrapped wound and took a look. Imperial Physician Lu's bandaging technique was acceptable.
But it was unknown who had handled it initially, as it was so careless.
However, none of this was a challenge for Su Xiao Qi.
She entered her spatial dimension with her consciousness and used a spiritual medicine.
There was no other way; this medicine had to be used.
If Duan Wang died, then no one would compete with the current Crown Prince.
Once he ascended the throne and ravaged the Great Liang Dynasty, no one would be there to clean up his mess.
That's right, in Su Xiao Qi's memory, Liang Qi Ran, after becoming emperor in her previous life, was deposed by his own officials within a few years due to his brutal and incompetent rule.
He was then confined to the Southern Garden Palace to guard the imperial mausoleums for the rest of his life.
And it was Duan Wang, Liang Qi Ye, who replaced him on the throne.
If he died now, the course of history would be completely altered.
Even if Liang Qi Ran were deposed like in her previous life, who would take over the throne then?
This was a question.
Su Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, took out one of the spiritual medicines, broke off half, and fed it into Liang Qi Ye's mouth.
The medicine melted upon contact with the mouth, and its effect was excellent.
During this time, Su Xiao Qi disinfected and cleaned Liang Qi Ye's wound again, applied her personally formulated external wound medicine, and then bandaged it.
In less than half an hour, when Su Xiao Qi checked his pulse again, she found that the spiritual medicine had almost fully repaired the wound in his heart and lungs.
Under the powerful effect of the pill, no infection could stand a chance.
"Cough, cough..." As his injury improved, Liang Qi Ye, who had been unconscious, coughed and woke up.
"Imperial Brother..." The Grand Princess, overwhelmed with grief, had already been helped by wet nurse Xu to sit in a nearby armchair, applying a hot compress to her forehead to calm her emotions.
Therefore, she did not see Su Xiao Qi giving Liang Qi Ye medicine.
Nor did she see Su Xiao Qi treating him.
Hearing the sound now, she started and leaped up, rushing to the bedside.
"Imperial Brother... Imperial Brother." The Grand Princess's voice was choked with sobs, slightly hoarse.
"Man'er, Man'er is here," Liang Qi Ye said with difficulty.
"It's me, it's me, Imperial Brother, are you feeling any better? Don't worry, Xiao Qi is a miracle doctor, she will definitely cure you, just relax." The Grand Princess comforted Liang Qi Ye incoherently.
"Cough, cough, I, I think I'm much better." Liang Qi Ye closed his eyes and felt. The piercing pain in his chest seemed to have disappeared.
He let out a long sigh, and even breathing no longer hurt.
"Man'er, you were right. The doctor you invited is truly a miracle doctor. I, I am cured." Liang Qi Ye looked at the Grand Princess and Su Xiao Qi with disbelief.
The reason he had been unconscious was entirely due to unbearable pain and a persistent fever. Not only could he not move, but even breathing was agonizing.
But now he felt completely relaxed, like someone who hadn't bathed in a year suddenly soaking in a hot spring, washing away all their scabs and dirt, feeling incredibly refreshed.
"Really?" The Grand Princess was still somewhat disbelieving. She looked at Su Xiao Qi, perhaps she could provide the answer.
Su Xiao Qi nodded: "I re-dressed the Prince's wound. This medicine is a family heirloom, specially for pain relief."
Su Xiao Qi casually described the medicine she used.
This was not a lie.
The wound medicine she had just applied to Liang Qi Ye did indeed have pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects.
However, the real efficacy came from her spatial spiritual medicine.
"Man'er, Man'er, quickly, quickly go and save my Chen'er. He, he is also injured, even more seriously than me." Liang Qi Ye, saying this, even sat up.
Upon realizing, he clutched his chest, expecting to feel agonizing pain.
However, he did not. He seemed to be completely fine.
"I..." He looked at Su Xiao Qi again.
Was this woman truly a miracle doctor?
He knew his own body best. Previously, he had been diagnosed by a large number of physicians in the capital and most of the imperial physicians as having sustained severe injuries and being beyond saving.
But now he could get up, and without any pain at all. This was all too miraculous.
The doubt in his eyes was too obvious, and Su Xiao Qi regretted it. If she had known the medicine would be so effective on him, she should have only given him one-third.
Alas, a miscalculation, a miscalculation.
However, thinking of Liang Jing Chen, she squeezed the remaining half of the spiritual medicine in her hand, her heart settling. She was determined to save him.
The Grand Princess also noticed the strangeness in Liang Qi Ye's condition.
However, she did not find it strange.
This was why she had brought Xiao Qi with her.
Regardless, she fully believed Xiao Qi could achieve it.
This had already been proven in her and her two children.
As long as she was there, she would create miracles.
"Imperial Brother, quickly, lie down. You are still severely injured."
Liang Qi Ye gave a wry smile: "Not only am I severely injured, but I am also on the verge of death."
Wasn't he? Concubine Li had invited half the doctors in the capital, and not one could save him.
If it weren't for this female doctor brought by Man'er, he would only be lying on his deathbed now.
"Imperial Brother, Imperial Physician Lu examined your injury at the time. He said that although it was serious, it did not damage the heart and lungs, and there was no danger to life.
Yet, in just a few days, not only has it not been cured, but it has worsened. There must be a conspiracy involved. It's best for you to lie down.
Don't let them know your injury has healed, or they will target you again. I'll take Xiao Qi to see Chen'er."
What the Grand Princess said made sense, and Liang Qi Ye nodded. He implored Su Xiao Qi to save his Chen'er.
It was for saving him that he had sustained such a severe injury.
Upon hearing that Liang Jing Chen was also seriously injured, Su Xiao Qi became anxious. Without waiting for the Grand Princess to lead the way, she left.
