Chapter 273: Trying
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Grandma Qin responded with a poised demeanor, neither subservient nor arrogant. “It was my granddaughter who devised a set of massage techniques, blending them with a special potion she created herself. It took several years, but I finally regained my sight.’
She was compelled to fabricate this story, knowing that the longer she spoke, the less likely people would suspect Qin Zhenzhen’s secret abilities.
Empress Dowager emitted a disdainful snort, “You’ve been quite fortunate!”
Having endured blindness for many years, she marveled at her newfound sight.contemporary romance
How could she maintain such a gracious disposition after marrying a rugged farmer from the countryside? Compared to women of their noble status, she was leading a considerably more comfortable life.
What baffled her even more was the presence of such a talented granddaughter with extraordinary medical skills.
Grandma Qin nodded, “Empress Dowager, you are absolutely right. I no longer desire anything from those days of darkness. All I wish for now is to enjoy my meals, sleep peacefully, and not trouble my family.”
“Now, my only wish remains the same as before: I hope the heavens will show me mercy and bless me with a gifted granddaughter, so I may once again bask in the light.’
With just one sentence, Grandma Qin’s response cut to the core of her emotions.
Empress Dowager seethed with anger, a sudden splitting headache overtaking her. Instinctively, she clutched her head as the excruciating pain resurfaced.
The agony was unbearable, and she had never intended to accuse Grandma Qin of falsehood. At this moment, her utmost concern was whether Qin Zhenzhen could relieve her of this torment.
The head nanny swiftly urged Grandma Qin to depart.
Despite Qin Zhenzhen’s successful restoration of Grandma Qin’s sight, Empress Dowager couldn’t fully place her trust in her abilities. When requesting treatment from Qin Zhenzhen, she even summoned two imperial physicians to oversee the process.
Qin Zhenzhen remained indifferent to the Empress Dowager’s pain, resolute in her decision not to use spirit water for immediate relief.
Her resolve to seek vengeance for her grandmother burned deep within her, and she knew it would come to fruition sooner or later.
Deliberately, Qin Zhenzhen assessed the Empress Dowager’s condition by taking her pulse methodically. Based on the observed symptoms, she diagnosed a headache stemming from liver congestion.
“The head serves as the nexus for sensitivity, where the vital essence and blood from the five viscera, as well as the energies of the six viscera, converge.”
“External assaults and internal emotional turmoil, seven distinct types of injuries, all have the potential to trigger headaches.”
“A troubled heart can manifest as a headache, and a protracted illness can give rise to headwinds.”
Qin Zhenzhen’s logical explanation left the imperial physicians thoroughly astounded.
Having pinpointed the root of the ailment, Qin Zhenzhen resolved to administer acupuncture treatment to the Empress Dowager, with the aim of clearing liver congestion and restoring normal channel flow. Her immediate objective was to alleviate the debilitating headache.
Her strategy prioritized alleviating the headache first, with other matters to be addressed later.
Upon learning of Qin Zhenzhen’s intention to perform acupuncture, the
Empress Dowager’s countenance darkened. “Are you completely confident?” What she detested most were the imperial physicians practicing acupuncture on her.
Historically, those who had dared to insert needles into her head, risking their lives in the process, not only failed to alleviate her headaches but often exacerbated them.
The nannies were taken aback. They had never expected Qin Zhenzhen to suggest acupuncture.
Over the years, any doctor who had attempted acupuncture on the Empress Dowager, only to yield no positive results, had either met their demise through a severe beating or had been incapacitated for months on end.
It appeared that Miss Qin had an unfortunate task ahead of her…
The nanny who had ushered Qin Zhenzhen in now regretted not issuing a cautionary reminder.
The two imperial physicians, too, felt a growing unease for Qin Zhenzhen.
Their apprehension stemmed from the fear of being drawn into any potential complications arising from her treatment.
In response to their concerns, Qin Zhenzhen affirmed, “I possess great confidence in my ability to alleviate your headache through acupuncture. However, I must emphasize that it won’t be a one-time cure. It will require at least four sessions.
Her assertiveness was a rare sight in front of the Empress Dowager, and a
glimmer of hope flickered in the Empress Dowager’s eyes.
Yet, as the relentless agony of her headache persisted, her trust in physicians waned further.
With a cautious glance at Qin Zhenzhen, she relented, saying, “I will allow you to try..”
