Yixuan set up this apothecary for her, fully equipped and containing nurous drugs and poisons.
Many of them are incredibly rare and of peculiar value, and it’s uncertain where Yixuan managed to gather them from.
She walked between the rows of shelves, picking out dozens of herbs after careful selection.
"Alright, let’s get started!"
She gave a slight smile to everyone present, her expression brimming with confidence, as if she was sure of victory!!
Dong Huiying had always carried the Golden Needle with her; she took out a small cloth pouch containing the needles, then asked the Great Commander to loosen Her Majesty the Empress’s clothing.
She said to the Great Commander, "I am about to perform acupuncture on Her Majesty the Empress. You don’t need to worry or fear; this is just a normal dical procedure. The main purpose of the acupuncture is to limit the activity range of the Gu Insect inside Her Majesty, which serves to save her life."
"As you might know, the reason Her Majesty has been in a coma for so many years is not due to poisoning... Oh, perhaps I shouldn’t say it like that. It is indeed due to poisoning, but the toxins within her are not the key cause of her coma."
"The real key is that Gu Insect, so in order to awaken Her Majesty the Empress, the priority is to deal with that Gu. So, after explaining it once more, do you understand now?"
Knowing deeply the loyalty of the Great Commander and others to Her Majesty the Empress, Dong Huiying felt it necessary to explain these words again. Otherwise, later during her treatnt of Her Majesty, her actions like acupuncture or stimulating so critical acupoints might cause these people to worry excessively, or perhaps due to distrust or other uncertainties, they might oppose her or cause unnecessary disputes.
Such situations were sothing Dong Huiying greatly disliked, so she thought it best to explain clearly beforehand, outlining important points and her motives in detail, to avoid these people causing trouble for her later.
Among the loyal Hidden Guards protecting the empress, so looked towards the Great Commander, waiting for his next instructions; however, a small group... Dong Huiying sharply noticed that this small group did not look at the Great Commander, but instead focused their gaze on another man who seed more secretive.
The man was ugly and short, and when he bowed his head in the corner, he was quite inconspicuous and lacked presence.
So much so that when Dong Huiying entered the room, she inadvertently overlooked him.
Dong Huiying frowned, thinking this man seed unusual.
The skills she learned in her past life, and the various experiences in this life, made her sowhat guarded around everyone except her own man, and friends like Yun Ge and the Dong family.
After all, she was innately sensitive, perhaps due to an subconscious sense of insecurity; regardless of the reason, this situation was very rare.
She didn’t notice that man?
There are only two possibilities.
One is because she’s at Chuixue Manor, her own man’s (Yixuan’s) domain. She was too relaxed and less vigilant, thinking it was safe here, so she saw no need to be cautious.
