Chapter 42: Suppression
Yin Ruchen had already used acupuncture to stop the poison from spreading in King Jingyin's body while they were talking. Before pressing the last acupuncture point to stop the spread of the poison, he needed to untie the acupuncture point that had just temporarily immobilized King Jingyin. Yin Ruchen pressed lightly, but unexpectedly King Jingyin sat up and hugged Yin Ruchen, shouting, "Don't leave me! Don't leave me!" Yin Ruchen didn't bother to break free because he wanted to stop the spread of the poison quickly, so he pressed the last acupuncture point that needed to be pressed.
This scene happened to be seen by Liu Qimei. It turned out that Liu Qimei did not return to the palace, but was just watching outside. She saw King Jingyin hug Yin Ruchen twice, and said such words the second time. Thinking of him asking her to leave just now, Liu Qimei was so angry that she was furious, and her anger was ignited in her sadness. She did not hear the rest of their conversation, but she heard King Jingyin's shouting clearly. Seeing that Yin Ruchen did not push away when he was hugged this time, she had no good feelings towards Yin Ruchen, even though she knew that Yin Ruchen came to heal her husband. She didn't want to watch it anymore, so she turned around and left.
As soon as Liu Qimei left, Yin Ruchen pressed the acupuncture points that temporarily immobilized King Jingyin, and said to the people around her: "The acupuncture points will naturally unblock after one stick of incense. I have pressed the important acupuncture points on your majesty's body. The poison will not spread further within ten days." Then, she took out a bottle with the words "Weiqi Pills" engraved on it and said: "Give your majesty three times a day, one pill each time, with warm water to maintain life."
"How can we cure father's poison?" Zhao Lin asked.
Yin Ruchen had just listened to Zhu Lianzhi's narration and felt that the affairs in the palace were very complicated. If he told his plan in front of everyone at this time, there would be no guarantee that someone would not hinder him. So he looked at Zhaolin and said, "Let me think about it again... I will report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after I have thought it through."
Zhao Lin was a little anxious: "How long will it take?"
"Very quickly." Yin Ruchen said.
Zhao Lin wanted to discuss this matter with Yan Moying, so he went to Yun Keyao with Yin Ruchen.
In Yixianzhai, Yin Ruchen, Yan Moying, Zhao Lin and Yun Keyou were sitting around the table.
Zhao Lin explained what had just happened and said, "None of us four can tell anyone about what we discussed today."
"Yes, definitely!" Yan Moying said.
"Okay, okay, I'm very tight-lipped!" Yun Keyu said. "Miss Yin, have you made up your mind?" Zhao Lin asked.
“I think if you want to cure this poison, you need to check both prescriptions,” Yin Ruchen replied.
"Father has been taking the soup prescribed by Imperial Physician Feng for a long time without any problems. What's more, Imperial Physician Feng has retired. Should we go to his house to ask?" Zhao Lin asked.
"I can go find it myself. His Majesty still needs His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his side. Moreover, if someone from the palace goes there, it will easily attract attention. I just want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find out where Imperial Physician Feng lives." Yin Ruchen said to Zhao Lin.
"Miss Yin, you are too polite! You were the one helping me in this matter. Don't call me Your Highness the Crown Prince. Have you forgotten again?" Zhao Lin said.
"Ruchen and I will go together so that we can take care of each other on the way!" Yan Moying said.
"Ah? Then I want to go too! I want to contribute too!" Yun Keyu followed.
Zhao Lin said, "We also need to investigate this side of the palace, and you have done something about it."
"Really? That's good! What a pity..." Yun Keyu said.
