Chapter 64: Chapter 64: New Discoveries in the First Aid Kit Chapter 64: Chapter 64: New Discoveries in the First Aid Kit Emperor Yongye finally permitted, and Feng Bailing agreed to provide dicine to Noble Princess Consort Xiao.
The prescription she gave was indeed as ordinary as the Imperial Physicians described, but besides common Chinese dicine, she also added anti-parasitic dicine.
The anti-parasitic dicine was ground into a powder and mixed in with the Chinese dicine, rendering it undetectable while still effective, achieving the best of both worlds.
When Feng Bailing secretly took out the new anti-parasitic dicine, she glanced at the ergency kit.
She was stunned by what she saw.
An additional dicine bottle, not previously there, was inside the ergency kit.
The bottle didn’t contain ordinary dicine, but an Endoscope Capsule, a product of 22nd-century developnt.
It was a miniature device made using nanotechnology. After swallowing, the capsule acted as an anesthetic and could be expelled from the body within six hours without anyone noticing and without causing any pain.
As an important part of internal dicine examinations, the advent of the endoscope resolved many dical issues in modern dicine.
Back when Feng Bailing was on the battlefield, her dical cabin was equipped with a complete set of large endoscope devices, but unfortunately, she couldn’t access the dical cabin at the mont.
However, the portability and convenience of the Endoscope Capsule arguably surpassed that of the larger devices. This was particularly handy under the circumstances of the Empress Dowager’s illness, coupled with the ‘seventh sense’ for further treatnt.
But, how did this device suddenly appear?
This was no ordinary dicine; it was high-end, and even during her ti on the battlefield, it was hard to procure.
Feng Bailing pondered.
She had already tried using the Seventh Sense to acquire the Endoscope Capsule before but failed multiple tis.
Perhaps because the Seventh Sense was not sufficiently developed… Feng Bailing recalled.
In order to harness the Emperor’s aura, today she had pinched and supported Dugu Wu.
Although previously kissing him, which increased her Seventh Sense, had not yielded the Endoscope Capsule, Feng Bailing, after much thought, arrived at a potential explanation.
If there was any difference in absorbing the Emperor’s aura today compared to other days, it was that Dugu Wu had leaned on her voluntarily earlier.
There was such a significant difference between voluntary and forced giving!
It seems she needs to find ways to encourage Dugu Wu to take more initiative in the future.
But with him being cold as ice forever, getting him to take initiative was easier said than done.
In the chamber, a palace maid ca to report that although the Empress Dowager was still suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, her abdominal pain had sowhat eased.
Emperor Yongye, hearing of the Empress Dowager’s improvent, was greatly pleased.
“Princess Feng, you may stay in the palace for the next few days until the Empress Dowager recovers, then you can return. Lianhua, it has been a while since you entered the palace, stay in Ciyuan Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager.”
“Emperor, your concubine is alright and wishes to stay here to care for the Empress Dowager…”
Noble Princess Consort Xiao, having just consud the dicine given by Feng Bailing, intended to show her dedication.
But no sooner had she ingested the dicine than her abdon churned violently and with a loud, foul-slling fart, she embarrassed herself in front of Emperor Yongye.
The air was thick with an unspeakable stench, and the expressions of those present varied.
Feng Bailing remained composed but was inwardly roaring with laughter.
Since she was “one of our own,” she took special care—Noble Princess Consort Xiao’s dicine had twice the usual dose.
In the harem, the concubines always strived to be the most fragrant and beautiful at all tis, never exhibiting crude behaviors such as farting.
Noble Princess Consort Xiao wished she could die of embarrassnt; she had always presented herself as charming and lovely in front of Emperor Yongye and had never lost face like today.
Emperor Yongye’s face turned iron blue, and he left without attending to Noble Princess Consort Xiao.
Noble Princess Consort Xiao, on the verge of tears, glared at Feng Bailing and was then supported away by the nanny and palace maids.
“Prince Wu, Princess Feng, the Empress Dowager invites you in.”
A kindly looking nanny ca out and beckoned them inside.
“Is the Empress Dowager in need of anything?”
Nalan Yan’er asked with concern, barely taking a step when the nanny spoke harshly.
“Crown Princess Consort, the Empress Dowager only asked for Prince Wu and Princess Feng.”
Upon learning that the Empress Dowager beca sick because of the fish provided by the Crown Princess Consort, Ciyuan Palace’s attitude toward Nalan Yan’er had soured significantly.
Inside the chamber, the Empress Dowager had her dicine.
When Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu entered, they encountered Princess Consort Guo attending to her. Princess Consort Guo nodded at Dugu Wu but ignored Feng Bailing. Feng Bailing was puzzled as Princess Consort Guo seed not to like her, yet she hadn’t offended her.
The Empress Dowager was already inford of the events and, although she had suffered greatly over the past few days and appeared quite haggard, she was relatively better than before.
The Empress Dowager had looked after Dugu Wu for many years and was very familiar with his temperant.
Due to his early experiences, Dugu Wu had always been cold-hearted.
He was stern and ruthless, and even in front of his own grandmother, he had never smiled.
She knew Dugu Wu did not favor this marriage, and he harbored resentnt over the Crown Prince marrying Nalan Yan’er.
Yet, Nalan Yan’er might not be the best match for him.
Although the Princess’ Mansion held no power or influence, Ah Ling was a good child. She might not be strikingly beautiful, but she had a good nature and was courageous. If the two could genuinely co together, perhaps Ah Wu’s stony heart might eventually warm.
“You both co here.”
The Empress Dowager smiled joyfully and waved at them.
Once they approached, the Empress Dowager took their hands and had them sit by her bed.
“Empress Dowager, you need to rest, you should be lying down.”
Dugu Wu spoke coldly.
“Child, I’ve told you many tis, in private, call grandmother.”
The Empress Dowager chided.
“Grandmother.”
Feng Bailing sweetly called out, while Dugu Wu choked, his heterochromia eyes flashing a threatening light.
“It’s Ah Ling who understands . You two are about to marry, try to spend more ti together daily, and don’t mind the old customs. How can fiancés develop feelings if they don’t et? I heard the Emperor has assigned you to the Ministry of Revenue, Ah Ling, find ti to accompany him there, ensure he eats three als a day.”
The Empress Dowager earnestly advised, placing Dugu Wu’s hand onto Feng Bailing’s.
