Chapter 545: Truly A Living Immortal

“I got this from the Great Immortal White Lotus. If he takes it, he will be cured immediately.”
“What Great Immortal White Lotus?” The Old Mistress hailed from a family of military officials and did not believe in these so-called great immortals.
“Mother, don’t worry. Jun’er will be fine very soon.” It was not known whether Madam Pang was trying to comfort the Old Mistress or herself with these words.
Strangely enough, after drinking the bowl of talisman water, Nie Jun really calmed down gradually. He no longer clutched his stomach crying out in pain.
“Great Immortal White Lotus is truly divine. He’s fine now. Jun’er is fine now.’ Madam Pang’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly got the maidservants to clean Nie Jun up.
By the time the Imperial Physician arrived, Nie Jun had already fallen asleep. However, to be on the safe side, they still got the Imperial Physician to check his pulse.
“Mm-hmm. It’s appendicitis. The toxic heat infiltrated his body and the dampness and the heat caused difficulties in his breathing. This illness strikes very suddenly, and the pain can be unbearable. I will prescribe some medicine for Young Master to take first. After he completes the course, he should have more or less recovered,” the Imperial Physician said as he stood up.
Appendicitis could be lethal.
The Old Mistress’s heart was on tenterhooks. “Imperial Physician, Jun’er’s body
is fine, isn’t it?”
“Old Mistress, don’t worry. Young Master is young and has strong Yang energy.
As long as he takes the medicine on time, he will be fine.”
However, Madam Pang interjected, “But Jun’er is fine now.” She wanted to ask
if the Imperial Physician had made a wrong judgment.
However, the Imperial Physician did not understand the deeper meaning behind her words. “Mm-hmm. The Young Master is tired. It’s normal for him to fall asleep when he isn’t feeling so much pain.”
These words made Madam Pang look at the Imperial Physician somewhat suspiciously. Her son clearly looked like he had recovered, yet this physician was still talking about appendicitis and whatnot.
After the Imperial Physician wrote out the prescription, the Old Mistress told the caretaker to see the Imperial Physician off.
“Go. Quickly get the prescription filled. Then prepare the medicine and feed it to Young Master in a while.”
“Mother, Jun’er is already fine and is sound asleep now. Why wake him up again?”
The Old Mistress frowned at once. “What do you know? Didn’t you hear what the imperial Physician said? Jun’er is only in temporary relief now. If he doesn’t take the medicine now, when should he take it? When he wakes up from the pain again?”
Madam Pang didn’t say anything anymore.
Nevertheless, she was worried about her son. For the rest of the night, Madam
Pang didn’t go back and stayed by Nie Jun’s side.
When the sun was about to rise, Nie Jun cried out in pain again.
Madam Pang wanted to hug him to soothe him, but the child was in so much pain that Madam Pang couldn’t hold onto him at all.
“To think that he is an Imperial Physician. Not only did the medicine he prescribed not work, it even caused my son to be in pain again. Go to my room and take the talisman paper that is kept inside the jewelry box.”
The maidservant had no choice but to obey and quickly went to bring the talisman paper over.
Madam Pang ordered her to feed the mixture to Nie Jun after the talisman paper was burned and dropped into water.
Sure enough, Nie Jun quieted down again soon after.
The maidservant came in with a bowl of medicine and said, “Mistress, Young
Master’s medicine is ready.”
“Just pour it away. Tell the Old Mistress that the Young Master has already drunk it,” Madam Pang said as she glanced at the bowl of medicine.
The maidservant raised her head in surprise. This was the medicine meant to cure the Young Master’s illness.
When she saw that the maidservant did not move, Madam Pang’s face turned stony. “What are you still standing there for? I told you to pour it away.” The maidservant came back to her senses and did not dare to disobey. She could only take the bowl of medicine out and secretly pour the contents away. Madam Pang fed Nie Jun the talisman water for a few days in a row. After seeing that Nie Jun was fine, she allowed him to go back to his classes. He was the First Prince’s study companion, and she was afraid that if he did not go for a long time, his position would be replaced.
When Nie Jun arrived at the school, Ji and Ling had also just arrived. Nie Jun carried his school bag and sat down beside the First Prince. When he felt that someone had sat down beside him, Ji turned around and saw Nie Jun sprawled across the table in low spirits.
“Nie Jun, have you recovered?”
Nie Jun heard his voice and nodded. “Mm-hmm. My mother said I have recovered.”
“What illness are you suffering from? Your face looks so pale that it’s scary.” Ling also came up to them. Everyone studied together and their relationship was usually not bad.
“That’s right. Are you really okay? If you’re still not feeling well, I’ll get someone to send you back,” Ji said with a frown.
Nie Jun didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore. “I’m not going back. If I go back, Mother will scold me again. I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.”
As they spoke, the bell for classes to start rang. When everyone saw that Nie Jun was fine other than being in low spirits, they returned to their respective seats and sat down.
Other than the study partners sent by the aristocratic families, those who could attend classes here were all descendants of the Imperial Family. Many of the teachers who taught them were even ministers of the cabinet. No one dared to misbehave in class.
Just as the teacher was in the middle of his lesson, he suddenly heard a loud cry. The teacher raised his head for a look and saw that Nie Jun had fallen from his seat.
The teacher quickly went forward to check on his condition and found that Nie Jun’s body was alarmingly hot.
“Quickly go and inform the people from the General’s Residence to come here.” Ji stood up with a calm expression and told someone to summon the Imperial Physician here.
The teacher carefully carried Nie Jun to the room at the back to rest. Just as he finished settling the child down, the Imperial Physician and the people from the General’s Residence arrived.
This Imperial Physician was the same one who had been asked to treat Nie Jun that day. He was also very surprised to see Nie Jun in this state.
“Imperial Physician, quickly go and take a look at Nie Jun.
“Your Highness, don’t be anxious. 1 will go at once.”
The Imperial Physician went forward to take Nie Jun’s pulse and check his condition. The moment he checked, his expression changed.
The people from the General’s Residence were anxious as they waited outside the door.
“How… how did it become so serious?”
These Imperial Physicians had weathered all kinds of storms. An illness that could make their expressions change so drastically was definitely not a small problem.
Nie Jun had run into trouble in the Imperial Palace and no one present could handle it. The Emperor was busy with state affairs, so Ji could only send someone to ask Su Ying to come over.
When Su Ying arrived, the Imperial Physician was examining Nie Jun s abdomen. The more he examined, the more unsightly his expression became.
“Greetings, Your Imperial Highness.”
Su Ying walked into the room and gestured for everyone to rise. “What’s going on?” She walked to the bed and frowned when she saw the abnormal reddish hue on Nie Jun’s face.
“Mother, Nie Jun fell ill suddenly,” Ling walked to Su Ying’s side and said softly. The Imperial Physician also stood up and bowed to Su Ying. “What’s his condition?”
“Your Imperial Highness, a few days ago, I went to the General’s Residence and diagnosed that their Young Master had appendicitis. However, the situation was not considered serious, so I left a prescription for treatment. Just now, when I examined the Young Master again, I found that his appendicitis had become more serious. I just don’t understand why.
For one to become an Imperial Physician of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, he was most definitely carefully selected from a group of qualified candidates. Appendicitis could be lethal in this world but it was not an incurable disease. As long as it was treated in time, the possibility of recovery was very high. Imperial Physician Ma was proficient in general medicine. Logically speaking, appendicitis should not pose any problem for him at all.
Su Ying stepped forward to examine Nie Jun. Just as she reached out and pressed on Nie Jun’s stomach, Nie Jun began to vomit in anguish.
“I’ll have to trouble Teacher to bring the children back to the classroom to continue their lessons. I will handle the matters here,” Su Ying instructed.
The teacher bowed in acknowledgment and led the children away.
After the palace maids went forward to take care of Nie Jun, Su Ying wanted to continue to examine Nie Jun. Thus, she sent everyone in the room out..
