Chapter 520 Strength is respected
After Shen Wantang gave Prince Ning acupuncture, everyone waited for another half an hour to see the effects.
Prince Ning still hadn't woken up, but his complexion was much better than before. He had some color in his face, and even his breathing had become steady.
Since acupuncture is effective, everyone quickly asked Shen Wantang to give acupuncture to Princess Ning.
Shen Wantang did not refuse this time. She carefully examined Princess Ning's pulse and gave her an acupuncture injection.
Soon, Princess Ning's condition stabilized.
All the imperial doctors were shocked, and they looked at Shen Wantang with respect.
People are like this. Even if you don't come from a good background, as long as you have ability, no matter what kind of ability it is, you will be respected.
Some imperial physicians even began to inquire where Shen Wantang learned acupuncture and asked if she could teach her.
Shen Wantang still regarded herself as a junior and was polite and modest, but she naturally couldn't tell the truth, so she could only gloss over it.
As for teaching the art of acupuncture, she did not agree. Firstly, she did not have time, and secondly, it was a unique creation of her master. Without her master's consent, she could not teach it at will.
Fortunately, the imperial doctors were all self-respecting and after testing her a few times and seeing that she was unwilling, they did not force her. After all, it was normal for other people's unique skills not to be passed on to others. If one wanted to learn someone else's unique skills, one had to formally become their apprentice.
Doctor Qin saw how Shen Wantang handled all those old foxes with ease, being modest but not cowardly, amiable but not acquiescent, calm but not arrogant, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: She is so young, yet she is so worldly-wise and calm, she is really extraordinary, no wonder she was chosen by Princess Ning to be her daughter-in-law!
Doctor Zhou had seen Shen Wantang the most times, and when he was protecting Xiao Qingxi's pregnancy before, Shen Wantang had been watching from the side. At that time, he didn't take Shen Wantang seriously at all.
But today, all he could see was Shen Wantang. He even scratched his head and thought: She is so young, yet she has such sophisticated techniques and such amazing healing power. She must be extremely talented. What a pity, what a pity! Why isn't she his disciple? Compared to Shen Wantang, his disciples are nothing but rotten wood!
Shen Wantang certainly had no idea what the two imperial physicians were thinking. She dealt with them very easily and soon took control of the situation.
At first they were just being polite to her because of her status as the Crown Prince's Consort. But now that she was speaking with her strength, even the old foxes were convinced and became much more sincere.
Since they all followed her as their leader, she was not polite: "Since everyone has worked together to stabilize the condition of the prince and princess, go out and inform the queen mother first, so that she won't be anxious."
The imperial doctors understood immediately that she wanted to share the credit with everyone.
Of course, if anything goes wrong with the prince and princess later, everyone will have to take the blame.
This Crown Prince's Consort looks too young, so how come she is no less cunning than those old foxes who have been immersed in the palace for many years?
How old was she? Seventeen? Eighteen?
She looks like a fresh-looking 17 or 18-year-old, but her mind doesn't look like that of a 17 or 18-year-old at all. She is so mature!
However, no one could refuse what she said. Otherwise, if the Queen Mother knew that they had not contributed, they would be scolded and punished.
Everyone nodded and followed Shen Wantang out of the inner room.
When the Queen Mother saw them finally coming out, she said grimly, "You still remember to come out? It's already daybreak. I thought you were a bunch of useless people. You couldn't cure my son and you were going to die in there together!"
None of the imperial physicians dared to respond; they all hung their heads and nodded in obedience. Even the upright Imperial Physician Zhou refused to step out.
After all, they all know that whoever stands out will die quickly.
Shen Wantang looked around and saw that no one was talking, so he said, "Father and mother are seriously ill, so it took some extra time. However, their conditions are now stable and not so dangerous."
The Queen Mother's heart, which had been tense all the time, suddenly relaxed: "Is he really getting better?"
"There is no danger to life for now."
The Queen Mother was overjoyed. She immediately stood up and rushed into the inner room to see her son.
After a while, she came out again with a gloomy face: "Why hasn't my son woken up yet? Shen Wantang, is this what you said about him getting better? Dare to lie to me, I will have someone chop off your head!"
Shen Wantang frowned slightly. She clearly said that the situation was stable.
Is the Queen Mother getting old and confused? Didn't she say "I'm getting better" herself?
"I didn't say that. What I said was that Father and Mother are no longer in danger of dying. If they want to wake up, they need continuous medical treatment. Illness comes like a mountain falling, and it goes away like pulling a thread. If you want to get better, it will take time."
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Wantang coldly, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces with her eyes.
After a long while, she looked at the doctors and asked, "Who stabilized my son's condition just now? Stand in front of me, and I will reward you handsomely!"
The imperial doctors looked at each other, and no one stepped forward. Instead, they all quietly took a step back.
This now made Shen Wantang, who was originally standing with them, stand out.
Shen Wantang almost laughed out of anger. She had planned everything, but in the end she was not as cunning as these old foxes!
The Queen Mother's gaze fell on Shen Wantang, who was standing in the front row. She was full of suspicion: "Could it be that you really stabilized my son's condition? Are your medical skills so advanced?"
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. My medical skills are mediocre. It was the joint efforts of all the imperial doctors that stabilized the condition of the prince and princess. From now on, we will still need the joint efforts of all the imperial doctors to treat them."
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and sneered, "I told you that you can't be that powerful!"
"In that case, those imperial doctors should not leave. You should all stay in the palace. When my son wakes up, you can go home. If my son does not wake up, you will stay in the palace until you die!"
Naturally, none of the imperial doctors dared to refute and they all nodded in agreement.
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she returned to the inner room to look after Prince Ning. After a while, she became disgusted with Prince Ning's wife lying next to her son and passing all her illness to her son, so she asked people to move Prince Ning's wife to the second room.
After several imperial doctors discussed it, they left two people behind, one to guard one side, while the rest went to rest.
The yard for resting was naturally arranged by Shen Wantang. She also made all the arrangements for meals, hot water, and maids and servants.
Then she went back to her yard and went to sleep.
When she woke up again, it was already noon.
Although she was reluctant, Shen Wantang still changed her clothes and went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.
