Chapter 1391: Spin-off Twenty - Affairs of Children
The leader of the group was none other than Emperor Huian, out on an incognito excursion. Apart from Emperor Huian, Chu Heng had brought along the four-year-old legitimate Imperial Grandson, and Yan Junyu along with Duke Wu’an, this pair of grandfather and grandson were also present.
After the greetings were exchanged, Mo Yan took a careful look at Duke Wu’an and warmly congratulated him, "Grandfather Yan’s complexion is rosy, his spirit is vigorous, and his health is improving by the day, congratulations, congratulations."
"Hahaha, my well-being today is all thanks to your miraculous healing, young lady," Duke Wu’an laughed heartily, his voice filled with immense gratitude.
Initially, when Duke Wu’an was paralyzed in bed, the Imperial Physicians from the Taiyi Hospital and the well-known doctors in the area weren’t without means to treat him, but given Duke Wu’an’s advanced age, he couldn’t withstand the potency of powerful medicines, and no one dared to needle him either. As a result, he had been bedridden for a year, yet nobody dared to take action.
Seeing that Duke Wu’an’s condition was weakening by the day and he wouldn’t last much longer, Emperor Huian personally decreed a search for a famed physician across the land for his uncle. Although many famed physicians were found, they were just as helpless with Duke Wu’an’s illness as the previous Imperial Physicians and renowned doctors had been.
Mo Yan wanted to earn this merit, unwilling to see a man of great achievements like Duke Wu’an pass away from this world with endless regrets. Thus, in the late stages of her pregnancy, she painstakingly practiced Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles and put a lot of effort into the treatment of stroke.
Luckily, efforts pay off for those who try. After her child’s full-moon celebration, she assisted her master and took action, needling Duke Wu’an. Three months later, he was able to walk on his own, and by now, he was almost indistinguishable from before his serious illness.
Mo Yan shook her head and sincerely added, "If Grandfather Yan had not trusted me, I wouldn’t have dared to be so bold. If Grandfather Yan wants to thank anyone, it should be himself."
