Yun Shu glanced up at the door, her voice cold as she gave an order, "Stop him and take him to the front hall."
She hadn't even had a chance to look for him, and he had come to her doorstep.
He wouldn't come knocking unless he needed something, which meant Zhan Ming had business.
Although she was reluctant to get out of the bathtub, the current situation wouldn't allow her to linger in the warm water.
A Cha helped her dry her hair and put on her clothes.
Once dressed, Yun Shu headed to the front hall.
Yun Changfeng had gone to meet Zhan Ming, who had rushed in, a step ahead of her.
Upon seeing Zhan Ming's usually arrogant and charming face turn pale, even tinged with green, he realized the purpose of Zhan Ming's visit.
He had never liked Zhan Ming, finding him too sinister and ruthless in achieving his goals. His methods of torture were countless, and he harbored ambitions for the throne, wanting to control the current emperor.
Previously, from Shu'er's words, he had learned some secrets about Zhan Ming. Could his illness have worsened?
Zhan Ming, seeing Yun Changfeng scrutinize him, said impatiently, "Where is Yun Shu? This king wants to see her. Tell her to come see me quickly!" He was in severe pain right now.
The doctor who usually treated him was helpless today.
He couldn't find Lu Hao, so he had to come to the General's mansion to find Yun Shu.
He wondered if Yun Shu could do anything! He held Yun Shu's weakness in his hands, unafraid that Yun Shu wouldn't be under his control!
Damn it!
The pain there was excruciating!
It hurt so much that his lips twitched, and his face contorted.
He couldn't bear it no matter how hard he tried.
Seeing Zhan Ming's distress, Yun Changfeng feigned ignorance, "Why does Prince Regent look so pained? Are you suddenly ill? I'll order someone to send Prince Regent back to his mansion immediately!"
"No! Yun Shu is skilled in medicine, and this king wants her to examine him! It's also an opportunity for the world to witness her medical skills through me," Zhan Ming said, furious, his face like ice. Damn Yun Changfeng, he knew why he was at the General's mansion and deliberately offered to send him back.
Was he trying to provoke him?
"No need, no need. My daughter's medical skills are just average, and she doesn't make a living from them. There's no need to prove her skills to the world. Prince Regent, please don't delay your treatment. It's most important to summon imperial physicians to Prince Regent's mansion immediately for treatment!" Yun Changfeng waved his hands repeatedly.
Although he claimed Yun Shu's medical skills were poor, he was secretly pleased. Few could match Shu'er's medical expertise, so Zhan Ming's validation wasn't necessary.
Zhan Ming had no patience today; the pain was driving him mad.
Hateful!
He glared at Yun Changfeng, wishing he could seal his mouth right now.
Seeing Zhan Ming's complexion worsen, Yun Changfeng felt a great deal of satisfaction.
He suspected that the person who had attempted to assassinate Shu'er in secret might have some connection with Zhan Ming.
However, based on his understanding of Zhan Ming, he didn't have the influence of such forces.
"This king believes Yun Shu is capable!" Zhan Ming gritted out, clearly not wanting to say more.
Seeing this, Yun Changfeng felt even more pleased. He still said, "Prince Regent has too high an opinion of Shu'er."
The issue wasn't whether Shu'er's medical skills were good or not; it was that Shu'er had no intention of treating Zhan Ming.
After a while, Yun Shu appeared at the door.
Yun Shu's cold eyes swept over Zhan Ming, who was sitting in the front hall. His face was pale, an abnormal greenish-white, with dark circles under his eyes.
It was evident at a glance that he had indulged too much recently, to the point of depleting his body. Combined with the hidden ailment concealed by his appearance, Zhan Ming must be extremely anxious and enduring extreme pain.
She should have arrived a moment later.
Seeing Yun Shu appear at the door, Zhan Ming immediately called out to her, "Miss Yun Er, hurry inside!"
He could barely hold on. The pain was unbearable, worse than when he was at his mansion, and his condition seemed to have worsened.
He could only try his luck, hoping this 'blind cat might catch a dead mouse,' and see if Yun Shu's medical skills were any good!
Yun Shu walked in unhurriedly. "Prince Regent, what is it? Speak directly."
Based on her earlier deduction, Zhan Ming had likely endured more than two hours of torment.
If the doctors he had sought were truly helpless, he wouldn't have come to her.
She sat down beside Yun Changfeng.
Father and daughter, with a telepathic connection, exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.
Zhan Ming was displeased with Yun Shu's attitude, frowning deeply. "I know your medical skills are excellent, which is why I've come specifically to find you. Moreover, if you can help me relieve this pain, I can guarantee that your son, Xiao Feng, will be safe! Xiao Feng has a secret hidden within him that even you don't know about!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Shu remained expressionless, but Yun Changfeng was shocked.
Xiao Feng?
What did he have to do with Xiao Feng?
"What does Prince Regent mean?" Yun Changfeng pressed, his voice deep.
Zhan Ming, with an air of composure and control, slightly raised his chin, narrowing his eyes at Yun Shu. "Have you ever taken Xiao Feng's pulse? Even if you had, with your shallow medical knowledge, you probably wouldn't be able to tell anything. Let me tell you, Xiao Feng was accidentally poisoned before. Later, I found someone to develop an antidote, but it requires taking a dose of the antidote periodically. If Xiao Feng doesn't take the antidote I've provided before tomorrow, he will die."
"What?" Yun Changfeng exclaimed in shock.
Images of Xiao Feng's adorable face flashed in his mind. Xiao Feng was his grandson; he couldn't stand by and watch Xiao Feng face a life-threatening danger! He immediately looked at Yun Shu, "Shu'er, is what Prince Regent saying true?"
Yun Shu's expression remained calm and collected. Her gaze, filled with coldness, swept over the Prince Regent before she said to Yun Changfeng, "It is as Prince Regent says."
Yun Changfeng's pupils constricted, and his face turned pale.
At this moment, Yun Changfeng remained silent.
Xiao Feng, at such a young age, had been poisoned!
What had Xiao Feng endured all these years in the company of Prince Regent and Yun Yueyin?
It was unimaginable and horrifying!
Yun Changfeng's heart pounded violently.
Yun Shu, seeing this, signaled Yun Changfeng with her eyes, assuring him that Xiao Feng would be fine.
Yun Changfeng snapped back to reality, his composure returning somewhat.
If it were in the past, and Xiao Feng had been poisoned, they would have been in a panic. But with Shu'er's medical skills, it wasn't so terrifying!
Zhan Ming had been intently watching Yun Shu's reaction. Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, his eyes darkened further.
Pressing his slightly greenish lips, he said in a sinister tone, "Now, I'll give you an opportunity. As long as you can relieve my pain today, I will give you the antidote! Although you are not a divine physician, I will give you a chance out of consideration for saving the Emperor and Miss Tang!"
His words were filled with doubt about Yun Shu's medical skills.
Hearing Zhan Ming's condition, Yun Shu's gaze was peculiar as she looked at him.
Relieve pain?
Yun Changfeng's eyes widened too.
How little faith did he have in Shu'er's medical skills to propose a trade of merely relieving pain, not a full cure?!
