Chapter 249: Acupuncture for Concubine Rou on a Hot Pot Steamer
Then, she quickly walked to Concubine Rou who was standing at the door of the palace, "Your Majesty, come over, I will give you acupuncture."
Concubine Rou's heart tightened again, and her calves trembled.
"You won't let me lie on the steamer and get acupuncture treatment, will you?"
Jiang Yimo nodded.
“Yes, this works better.”
After hearing this, Concubine Rou's face turned dark.
"You are so brave to steam me like a steamed bun. Aren't you afraid of cooking me to death?"
Concubine Rou was so angry at what Jiang Yimo said. She was forty years old and had never heard of such a way of treating illness.
Jiang Yimo was very happy when she saw Concubine Rou’s gloomy face.
"Empress Roufei, are you regretting letting me cure your odor disease?"
After hearing this, Concubine Rou felt a surge of anger stuck in her throat, and she didn't answer Jiang Yimo.
Jiang Yimo continued, "Your Highness, this won't do. My daughter and Prince Kang have prepared everything. If you change your mind, what will we do with this huge pot of medicine? Will it be wasted?"
Concubine Rou glared at Jiang Yimo angrily.
"You are deliberately taking revenge on me, right?"
"Empress Rou, you are really worrying too much. I just want to earn some money from Prince Kang's consultation."
Despite what Jiang Yimo said, Concubine Rou still didn't quite believe her.
Fortunately, Prince Kang, who was standing next to the stove, saw that his mother had not come yet, so he strode over with a frown.
"Mother, Miss Jiang, what's wrong with you? I have already asked someone to put the steamer up and am waiting for you to come over." King Kang said in a deep voice.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Rou said, "Cheng'er, mother is no longer curable."
"What?" After hearing this, Prince Kang was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and asked, "Mother, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I suspect that this Jiang deliberately came up with this method of curing the disease to torment your mother." Concubine Rou said without any hesitation in front of Jiang Yimo.
"Mother, I beg you, no matter if Miss Jiang is tormenting you or not, as long as your odor disease can be cured, you have to grit your teeth and bear it."
In fact, he knew that Jiang Yimo had a personal grudge against him for treating his mother, but he didn't want to let it go as long as there was a glimmer of hope that his mother's illness could be cured.
When Concubine Rou saw the gloom in Prince Kang's eyes, she finally agreed reluctantly.
Jiang Yimo brought Concubine Rou to the stove, ordered the palace maids to reduce the fire in the stove, and then asked several eunuchs to help Concubine Rou lie down on the huge steamer placed on top of the stove.
Next, Jiang Yimo took out a handful of golden needles as long as chopsticks from her small bag and prepared to give Concubine Rou acupuncture. When everyone present saw the golden needles in Jiang Yimo's hand, they shuddered and Concubine Rou almost fainted from fright.
Because the gold needles that Jiang Yimo took out this time were much longer and thicker than the silver needles that doctors usually used.
Seeing this, King Kang couldn't help but ask, "Miss Jiang, why did you change your needle?"
Jiang Yimo listened, smiled, and said calmly: "Acupuncture with gold needles is better than acupuncture with silver needles."
After hearing this, everyone nodded, not quite understanding.
In fact, King Kang still had some questions in his mind, such as why her gold needles were longer and thicker than the silver needles usually used by doctors, but after thinking about it, he did not ask.
Seeing that no one had any questions, Jiang Yimo immediately focused on giving acupuncture to Concubine Rou.
Because this acupuncture was performed outdoors, Concubine Rou was still wearing clothes. Although they were thin clothes, it was not easy to insert the needles because the skin could not be seen. She could only rely on herself to slowly find the acupuncture points.
However, when it comes to acupuncture points, she is always accurate in finding them.
In just a few minutes, Concubine Rou was pierced with golden needles all over her body. She lay on the steamer in a white dress, like a hedgehog covered with thorns.
At this time, her clothes were soaked by the steam and she was sweating profusely.
In just a short while, Concubine Rou had sweated more today than she had in the entire year combined.
She felt uncomfortable, the medicine smelled bad, and the steam from the medicine below was burning her back.
what--
If she hadn't gritted her teeth and endured it for the sake of Prince Kang, she would really have gone crazy.
"You little bitch named Jiang, can you please pull out this needle? I can't stand the heat any more!"
Concubine Rou couldn't stand it anymore and exploded.
But surprisingly, Jiang Yimo was not angry at all, and she comforted the concubine, "Your Majesty, just bear with it for another cup of tea, it will be time, and then I will help you pull out the golden needle.
After hearing this, Concubine Rou was so angry that she almost broke her teeth.
At this time, King Kang persuaded her again, "Mother, please be patient, the time will pass quickly."
As soon as Prince Kang finished speaking, Concubine Rou glared at him angrily with her eyes slanted.
Her son has been really annoying these past two days.
Time passed quickly, and a cup of tea seemed to Jiang Yimo and the others like a blink of an eye, but to Concubine Rou, lying on the steamer, it felt like a whole day had passed. It was so unbearable.
Fortunately, Jiang Yimo did not play tricks on her this time. When the time came, she immediately helped Concubine Rou to remove the needle. Her movements were neat and orderly.
After a while, Jiang Yimo had pulled out all the gold needles on her body and asked the palace maid to help Concubine Rou down from the steamer.
At this moment, Concubine Rou's whole body looked as if it had been washed. She stood on the ground with her clothes dripping with water. The white clothes she was originally wearing were now turned yellow by the steam from the medicine evaporating from the cauldron. Concubine Rou looked very embarrassed.
But what was infuriating was that after Concubine Rou came down from the steamer, instead of being grateful to Jiang Yimo, she suddenly raised her hand to slap Jiang Yimo.
But she didn't succeed. Feng Wuhen quickly grabbed Concubine Rou's wrist and warned her, "Concubine Rou, Momo is not only your doctor, but also the doctor for the Royal Grandmother. If you hurt her today, she won't be able to treat the Royal Grandmother. Father will not let you go, and the Royal Grandmother will hate you."
After hearing these words, Concubine Rou really put down her big hand and regretted her impulsive behavior.
But Concubine Rou was still angry. She snorted twice and strode into her bedroom. Then, Prince Kang thanked Jiang Yimo and prepared to chase after her.
However, Jiang Yimo stopped him.
"Prince Kang, don't worry. Concubine Rou hasn't taken her detoxification pills yet. Give this medicine to her as well. Let Concubine Rou take it immediately. Within a day, her odor symptoms should be much relieved."
Prince Kang hurriedly took the pill from Jiang Yimo's hand. Seeing that Concubine Rou had run into her bedroom, he also hurried over.
At this time, Jiang Yimo shouted at the back of King Kang: "Prince Kang, remember to send my five hundred taels of gold for medical treatment to the Evil King's mansion. The Evil King and I will leave the palace today. See you tomorrow!"
After saying this, Jiang Yimo finally couldn't help laughing, but no one knew what she was laughing at.
"Ha ha……"
