Xie PanāEr was both eager to know what had happened during the incident and concerned about the Nanjiang Princessās condition. After all, the Princess was now breathing faintly, and large beads of sweat were appearing more frequently on her forehead.
Even without any medical knowledge, she knew Princess Ataās injuries couldnāt wait.
Xie PanāEr decided to set aside finding out the truth for the moment.
She then turned her attention to the group of Imperial Physicians nearby.
"Gentlemen, are you truly helpless regarding Princess Ataās injury? Can you not think of a way to remove this blade first, so the Princess will suffer less?"
No matter what happened with her brotherās case, what the Third Mistress had said was true: as long as the Nanjiang Princess was alive, her brother still had a chance.
Therefore, at this moment, she focused on saving the Nanjiang Princess and questioned the Imperial Physicians before her.
The group of Imperial Physicians all shook their heads, discussing amongst themselves how to remove the scissors and how to prevent massive blood loss afterward. The Imperial Physicians argued incessantly, completely ignoring her, an outsider.
"Imperial Physicians... do you have any plan?"
Seeing that no one was paying her any mind, Xie PanāEr braced herself and asked again.
The Imperial Physicians still ignored her. Xie PanāEr, feeling helpless, was about to say something more when an Imperial Physician nearby called out, "Miss PanāEr!"
Xie PanāEr turned her head to look. It was Imperial Physician Yang, who had attended to her foot in Cining Palace.
"Imperial Physician Yang, youāre here too. About Princess Ataās injuries..."
"Not one of us dares to remove the blade!"
Hearing this, Xie PanāEr was greatly alarmed and hastily asked, "What can be done then? Are we supposed to just stand by and watch Princess Ata die?"
Imperial Physician Yang was also anxious; he valued his own head more than anyone.
"Miss, do you know of the Medicine King Residence?"
Xie PanāEr shook her head. "I do not. But judging by the name, it seems like a place where medicine is practiced!"
"Correct. The Medicine King Residence is a faction dedicated to practicing and studying medicine. Most of us Imperial Physicians in the palace come from the Medicine King Residence," answered Imperial Physician Yang.
"So thatās how it is. Imperial Physician Yang, what is your intention in telling me this?"
Imperial Physician Yang said, "In our Great Han, there is a Divine Physician. He was born in Medicine King Valley and is a direct descendant, the head of the inner sect. He is currently in the Capital City."
Hearing this, Xie PanāEr was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where is this Divine Physician?"
Imperial Physician Yang shook his head. "This old one does not know."
The hope that had just flared up was extinguished in an instant.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from the entrance, followed by a familiar, cheerful voice.
"Pretty Sister!"
The voice was clear, bright, and joyful.
Xie PanāEr was momentarily stunned, blinking her eyes. "Princess! Seventh Prince, why are you here?"
Xiaosuisui immediately jumped down from Ji Youzhiās arms and then rushed into Xie PanāErās embrace.
"Pretty Sister, hold me!"
Xie PanāEr picked her up, reached out to gently stroke her small forehead, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe away her sweat.
"Why are you here? You should be staying properly at home at this time, not running around all over the place."
As Xie PanāEr said this, Xiaosuisui giggled. "I missed my Pretty Sister! I went to the Celestial Prison first, but I didnāt find Pretty Sister there, only Brother Xie Si. So, I had Seventh Uncle bring me here to find Pretty Sister."
When Xiaosuisui said this, Xie PanāErās eyes couldnāt help but light up. She gazed at Xiaosuisui, her eyes shining brightly.
"You saw my brother? How is he? Is he alright? Did the Princess ask him why he would assassinate Princess Ata?"
