The inn master wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said, “No, everyone in the inn has been checked. No one is suspicious. The envoy from the Jiuding Kingdom was brought here by the Tiger Guard Camp after noon. These two are among the dozen or so seriously injured. They didn’t eat dinner, they only drank medicine. The dregs of the medicine have been checked and there was no poisoning. The bowls used to drink the medicine are fine, and there are no traces in the room!”
Hua Manxi glanced at the inn master and said, “Then there is only one possibility: the person who poisoned them directly fed them the poison.”
The inn master thought so too. But who would let them enter the heavily guarded room of the injured without them noticing and feed them the poison?
Yun Qianyu did not ask any more questions. It was expected!
The two poisoned people were in the same room. Yun Qianyu looked at the faces of the poisoned people and then took the wrist of one of the poisoned people to take his pulse. Sure enough, it was just as she had thought!
Yun Qianyu withdrew her hand and said to the group of imperial physicians kneeling on the ground, “What are you all kneeling for?”
“Princess, please forgive us! We are incompetent and cannot cure this poison!” The imperial physicians immediately kowtowed, ashamed.
“You must know how to brew medicine!”
The imperial physicians exchanged glances, remembering that Her Highness was the Valley Master of Yun Valley, and her greatest expertise was poison; this poison would naturally be no challenge for her.
The Imperial Physician Zheng was the first to understand, quickly getting up from the ground and bowing to stand beside Yun Qianyu, awaiting instructions.
Yun Qianyu picked up a pen, wrote down the prescription, and handed it to the Imperial Physician Zheng, saying, “You will personally supervise this; it must not be done by anyone else.”
“Yes, Your Highness, rest assured.” The Imperial Physician Zheng took the prescription and called two other imperial physicians to brew the medicine.
Yun Qianyu asked Mu Wei, who was behind the jade mirror, “Mu Wei, did you bring your needle scroll?”
Mu Wei immediately took out the needle scroll he always carried from his sleeve. “Your Highness, I always carry the needle scroll with me.”
“Hmm, you perform the acupuncture!” Yun Qianyu nodded and sat down on a chair nearby.
“Huh?” Mu Wei wondered if he had misheard.
Beitang Yun glanced at Mu Wei; he was clearly still a child, at most twelve or thirteen years old! He immediately objected, “Your Highness, how can you be so childish? How old is he?”
Yun Qianyu was too lazy to pay attention to this Third Prince now. Even if you wanted to play the fool, I had to be willing to cooperate!
She glanced at Mu Wei and said, “I’ll only say it once! First, take off the injured man’s upper garment.”
Mu Wei immediately understood; Yun Qianyu was going to personally instruct him on how to perform acupuncture! Even the disciples in Yun Gu Valley might not have such an opportunity! He really was getting the better deal because of his proximity!
Mu Wei suppressed his excitement, stepped forward to remove the injured man’s shirt, then rolled up the needles and spread them out by the bedside, awaiting Yun Qianyu’s instructions.
Before Beitang Yun could say anything, Hua Manxi crossed his arms, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and said, “If the Third Prince is bored, this young master can keep you company.”
Beitang Yun glanced at Hua Manxi and immediately fell silent.
“Insert the needle into Baihui point one inch,” Yun Qianyu said calmly.
Mu Wei skillfully picked up the needle and inserted it into Baihui point, exactly one inch, no more, no less!
“Insert the needle into Tianshu point two and a half inches, and Tanzhong point half an inch…” Yun Qianyu spoke slowly, and Mu Wei proceeded with the needling step by step.
The imperial physicians who had been listening intently were terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. This was a deadly needle prick! Where was acupuncture performed like this?!
But seeing the poisoned man’s complexion improve with each needle insertion, they were astonished. Some of the bolder ones moved closer to Mu Wei to watch. Once there was a first, there was a second, and in the blink of an eye, Mu Wei was completely surrounded.
