I Became the Eye Candy: Four Bigshots Claimed to be My Dad? Chapter 8: Fourth Granny Is Still Reliable

Ye Qianning also leaned in for a closer look. Lying on the bed was a little girl, no more than six or seven years old. Her cheeks were flushed red, and her mouth was covered in fever blisters. Fourth Granny lifted her clothes, revealing a body covered in red pustules. So had been scratched open, and pus stained her clothes.

Fourth Granny was shocked at the sight. She had seen rashes before, but never one that tornted a child so severely.

"Fourth Granny, look at her back," Ye Qianning said.

Fourth Granny gently turned the little Commandery Princess over. One side of her back was covered in a large patch of red rash, but there were no pustules.

Ye Qianning found it strange. ’A girl her age shouldn’t have sothing like a spider rash. Spider rashes mostly affect adults. So of the marks on her body resemble a spider rash, but others look like a different kind of rash altogether.’

"Well? Can you treat it?" the Princess Consort asked anxiously.

Beads of sweat dripped from Fourth Granny’s forehead. ’Treat it? How am I supposed to treat this? This is no ordinary rash. I’ve never even seen anything like it.’

"It can be treated. Prepare hot water, silver needles, alcohol, ink, and a writing brush," Ye Qianning said.

Fourth Granny froze and turned to look at her.

The Princess Consort’s heart was burning with anxiety. Hearing that it was treatable, she didn’t care about anything else. "Quickly, go and prepare everything!"

Several maids hurried out of the room to make the preparations.

"Mama... I’m itchy, it’s so itchy..." the Commandery Princess continued to cry restlessly.

The Princess Consort couldn’t hold back her tears. She sat on the edge of the bed, stroking the little Commandery Princess’s head to soothe her. "Be good, Xiang’er. The doctor said she can treat it. Soon, you won’t be in pain or itchy anymore."

"Princess Consort, the dicine is here." A maid walked in, carrying a bowl of freshly brewed dicine.

"Doctor, this is the dicine prescribed by the Imperial Physician. Should she take it?" the Princess Consort asked.

Fourth Granny knew nothing about dicine, so she had no idea if it was safe to take. But since she was here, she had to keep up the act.

"Does drinking it relieve the symptoms?" she asked, mimicking the tone of the old village doctor when he treated patients.

"It only helps for a short while, and then the itching starts again. The Imperial Physician said it’s just a common rash, but she’s been drinking the dicine for seven or eight days now, and the rash on her body is only getting worse," the Princess Consort lanted through her tears.

"Bring the dicine here and let see."

The maid handed her the dicinal soup.

Fourth Granny took the bowl and, looking the part, brought it to her nose to sniff. This dicine was brewed better than hers, and the sll wasn’t as pungent.

Ye Qianning slled the strong dicinal aroma and imdiately knew what herbs were in the soup. The little Commandery Princess had two different types of rashes, and the dications for each were almost completely at odds with one another.

’Although the Imperial Physician’s prescription can alleviate so symptoms, it makes the other rash erupt even more violently. Therefore, her rashes must be treated entirely externally, with minimal internal dicine.’

"Don’t give her any more of this dicine for now." Fourth Granny handed the bowl back to the maid, thinking to herself, ’If it’s only getting worse, then it’s obviously not working.’

Hearing this, Ye Qianning couldn’t help but be impressed. ’Fourth Granny is really reliable when it counts. Her hands are sweating from nervousness, but her voice doesn’t falter in the slightest.’

"Princess Consort, everything the doctor asked for has been prepared." The maids ca in one after another.

Ye Qianning walked over to look at the row of items. They were acceptable. She then said, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort, Fourth Granny needs quiet to perform the acupuncture."

"Please proceed with the treatnt, Doctor. I promise I won’t disturb you," the Princess Consort said, still worried.

"If the Princess Consort is present, Fourth Granny will be nervous. And when she gets nervous, her hand won’t be steady."

"Yes, yes! This is the first ti an old woman like has ever t a Princess Consort. When Your Highness looks at , I get so nervous I can’t even hold a needle properly," Fourth Granny chid in. She was genuinely nervous.

Hearing this, a maid supported the Princess Consort and advised, "Princess Consort, perhaps we should wait outside. You might not be able to bear watching the doctor perform the acupuncture."
