The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 669: Entering the Palace at Midnight

Yun Jiao just nodded, watching her leave.

The medicine was given to Yang Ying, but she felt Yang Ying might not have the opportunity, and she herself seemed to lack the courage.

In this world, some people can dismember their bedfellows with composure, while others feel it’s a grave sin to kill a fish.

Whether it succeeds or not, Yun Jiao didn’t hold much hope.

After Yang Ying left, Yun Jiao lost her sleepiness, read for a while, had dinner, and went to bed early.

In a daze, Yun Jiao was suddenly woken up by someone. Upon opening her eyes, she saw Cai Ping draped in a robe and holding a candle, standing by the bed, "Miss, a eunuch from the palace has come, summoning you to the palace immediately."

As Yun Jiao got out of bed, she said, "Isn’t the palace gate locked at this time?"

Hui Xiang attended to Yun Jiao’s dressing.

After dressing, she quickly combed her hair. Though a few candles were lit, the light was still dim, and she couldn’t see clearly in the mirror. Yun Jiao looked at the bronze mirror, asking Cai Ping, "Did the eunuch say what I’m summoned for?"

Cai Ping nodded, "The eunuch said the Emperor has a toothache, and it’s so painful he can’t sleep. The Imperial Physicians have checked and given medicine, but it’s not working."

"The Empress can’t think of a solution, so she sent for you."

Yun Jiao waited for Hui Xiang to finish her hair, "You two go out, I need to get something."

The two maids went out, and Yun Jiao closed the door, entered the medicine storeroom, prepared the powder, put it in a small porcelain bottle, and placed it in her medicine box before coming out again.

She took Hui Xiang and Cai Ping, exited through the second gate, and boarded the carriage.

The midnight streets were exceptionally quiet, with guards carrying torches. They quickly arrived at the Imperial Palace.

Yun Jiao was led by the eunuch to the Emperor’s sleeping quarters.

Inside, it was brightly lit, with Imperial Physicians kneeling all over the floor.

The Emperor, wearing a household robe, sat on the bed, covering his face with one hand, with Empress Zheng accompanying him.

Seeing Yun Jiao enter, Empress Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Doctor Gu, please take a look at the Emperor; the pain is unbearable for him."

Yun Jiao was speechless, as she was not a dentist, yet had to treat a dental issue now.

Walking up to the Emperor, before she could speak, Empress Zheng said, "The Emperor’s toothache is causing throbbing pain in his head, making sleep impossible. Can you check if there’s a way to relieve the pain temporarily?"

"Just now, the Imperial Physicians prescribed medicine, and he took one dose while two peppercorns were placed, but it had little effect."

Yun Jiao nodded, saying softly, "Please open your mouth, Your Majesty, so I can take a look."

A palace maid came over to hold a lamp while Yun Jiao examined and noticed the second last molar on the lower left side was decayed with a hole. She took out forceps and removed the two peppercorns inside. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

She took out a bottle of antiseptic solution, "Your Majesty, please rinse your mouth with this. I will administer the medicine afterward."

Her antiseptic solution was made from traditional Chinese medicine, safe for consumption.

The Emperor, worn out by pain, had no resistance left; otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to have an unorthodox doctor summoned to the palace by Empress Zheng in the middle of the night.

As the Emperor rinsed his mouth, Yun Jiao took a piece of clean paper, poured some powder from the small porcelain bottle onto it, and carefully rolled the paper into a small tube.

Once the Emperor finished rinsing, Yun Jiao carefully poured the powder into the cavity of the Emperor’s tooth and then packed it tightly with sterilized cotton.

In a rush, she couldn’t prepare toothache powder and had to use Watermelon Frost as a substitute. Watermelon Frost has anti-inflammatory properties, and she had added anesthetic powder, which helped relieve pain.

Next, she sat down to write prescriptions, one for external use, a toothache powder prescription, and the other for internal use. The eunuch quickly took the prescriptions to get the medicine.

After a short while, the Emperor suddenly said, "Oh, it seems the pain has stopped."
