A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

“Emperor, before I treat the patient, please tell me the identity of this patient,” Ning Yue said.

The emperor took a deep breath. He really did not know if he should tell Ning Yue. He was afraid that after telling her the identity of this patient, she would be unwilling to treat him.

“Let’s see the patient first. I promised him I would help him hide his identity,” the emperor said.

!!

“Then I won’t go and see him.” Ning Yue rejected the emperor directly. “Someone who hides his identity like this might have some unspeakable secret. He might not be a good person himself. If that’s the case, it’ll be dangerous for me to treat him.”

The emperor sighed. “He’s a prince of Russia.”

What? Ning Yue’s eyes widened. A prince of Russia? Then according to seniority, what should she call that prince?

“Is that my uncle?” Ning Yue asked.

The emperor thought for a moment and decided to tell Ning Yue the identity of that person. “According to seniority, you have to call him Granduncle.”

Granduncle? Ning Yue frowned tightly. She did not think she had ever heard Yuan Hui mention him.

“There’s some feud between him and Yuan Hui, so he didn’t mention him in front of you,” the emperor said.

“Emperor, please forgive me. I’m very curious. Why are you on such good terms with my granduncle?” Ning Yue asked him.

“My father, your grandfather, and granduncle were good friends when we were young. So, Ning Yue, why don’t you take a look at your granduncle first? If you can treat him, then treat him. If you can’t, forget it,” the emperor said.

Ning Yue frowned. This choice was a little difficult. She really wanted to ask Yuan Hui what was going on with her granduncle.

“By the way, there’s something you have to promise me.” The emperor suddenly said, “Regardless of whether you can treat your granduncle, you can’t tell your uncle about his appearance in the Great Yun Nation tonight. Moreover, he probably doesn’t know your identity. Don’t expose yourself in front of him. If you do, he won’t be willing to accept the treatment.”

Ning Yue took a deep breath and thought for a moment before agreeing to treat Yuan Kai.

The first time she saw Yuan Kai, Ning Yue was shocked. Yuan Kai’s eyes were bloodshot, and his eyelids were swollen.

This condition seemed a little serious. Ning Yue frowned.

Ning Yue walked up to him and sat down. She wanted to call him Granduncle, but she remembered the emperor’s instructions and held back.

“Hello, I’m the doctor treating you. If you feel unwell, you have to tell me.” After Ning Yue said this, Yuan Kai frowned.

“Uncle Kai, this is the disciple of the divine doctor I found for you. Please take a look at him,” the emperor said.

Yuan Kai nodded. His expression was indifferent, as if nothing in this world would agitate him.

Ning Yue reached out and waved her hand in front of Yuan Kai. Yuan Kai’s eyes were listless. No matter how Ning Yuan moved her hands, there was no reaction.

Ning Yue finally understood what was wrong with Yuan Kai. It turned out that not only were Yuan Kai’s eyes red and swollen, but he couldn’t see!

She smiled and said, “Hello, let me take your pulse.”

Yuan Kai nodded and extended his hand. Ning Yue’s hand gently rested on his wrist.

After a while, Ning Yue knew what was going on. Yuan Kai had been poisoned, and this poison was a little familiar.

“I’m done. I want to see your eyes now.” As she spoke, Ning Yue made some noise, indicating to Yuan Kai that she was about to make a move.

After the examination, Ning Yue was a little melancholic because Yuan Kai’s illness would not be difficult to treat in the modern era. However, the medical standards of ancient times were not advanced enough, so it was very difficult to treat him.

The problem with Yuan Kai’s eyes was the corneas. He had cornea stroma. This inflammation was not ordinary. It was a little tricky.

There was corneal stromal edema which impairs vision and causes pain in the eyes, tears and light aversion.

There would be some watery secretion in the eyes and the eyelids would spasm.
