"The lotus in the pond is so beautiful, and the medicine is so magical. It will definitely cure you." Jiang Yanwan squatted down in front of Yun Ji's bed, held her hand, and looked determined.

Yun Ji smiled weakly: "Thank you... As long as everyone is safe, I will be satisfied."

"You don't have to thank me, we are friends." Jiang Yanwan patted her hands gently.

After leaving the ward, Jiang Yanwan immediately entered her pharmacy. She found a copy of the "Medical Classic of Herbs" from a row of ancient books on the bookshelf and quickly flipped through it. She knew that if she wanted to completely cure Yun Ji's injury, she would need an extremely rare herb - Gentiana.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Wu Junyao walked into the pharmacy, looked at her concentrating, and asked with concern.

"Governor Wu, I need you to help me find a medicinal herb called Gentiana." Jiang Yanwan raised her head, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but more of determination.

Wu Junyao nodded: "Don't worry, I will send people to search for it with all my strength."

At this time, Liu Mengli also walked in. After hearing this, she frowned and said, "Gentian? That is an extremely rare medicinal herb. Even the imperial pharmacy in the palace may not have it."

"So we have to find her as soon as possible, otherwise Yun Ji's life will be threatened." Jiang Yanwan said softly, with an unshakable determination in her voice.

Wu Junyao immediately decided: "Immediately mobilize all available manpower and act separately to at least find the trace of Gentiana within a short period of time."

In the next few days, Wu Junyao and Liu Mengli sent out elite troops, spies and friends in the underworld to look for clues about Gentiana. At the same time, Jiang Yanwan contacted an old man with great medical skills through her own network, hoping to get his help.

Finally, on the evening of the fifth day, a soldier ran into the camp breathlessly, holding a carefully wrapped wooden box in his hands: "Commander-in-chief, Miss, we found gentian!"

"Great!" Jiang Yanwan excitedly took the wooden box and opened it carefully. The large green leaves exuded a faint medicinal fragrance. She quickly went into the pharmacy and began to prepare the antidote.

"Mengli, Brother Yao, go and bring Yun Ji here." Jiang Yanwan said to them while she was busy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Yun Ji was carried to the pharmacy. Jiang Yanwan prepared the antidote, poured it into a porcelain bowl, and gently fed it to Yun Ji.

"Drink it, so you can recover." She whispered, her eyes soft but firm.

Yun Ji nodded with difficulty, closed her eyes, and drank the antidote in one gulp. A warm current passed through her body, gradually dispelling the suffocating pain.

A few days later, Yun Ji's condition improved significantly, her complexion regained its rosy complexion, and her physical strength gradually recovered, which made everyone present feel relieved.

"Yun Ji, you're really okay!" Liu Mengli cried with joy and hugged her.

"Mengli...thank you all for your care." Yun Ji said gratefully, her eyes filled with tears.

"This is our responsibility." Jiang Yanwan smiled, "Now, you can rest and recover from your injuries."

At this moment, Yun Ji almost dropped the bowl in her hand due to a sudden dizziness, and she struggled to hold on to the edge of the bed. Jiang Yanwan was quick to support her: "Are you okay?"

Yun Ji shook her head: "It's just... I suddenly feel a little dizzy."

Jiang Yanwan frowned, and after a brief inspection, her expression became complicated: "We need to conduct another detailed inspection."

They laid Yun Ji flat on the bed and performed a series of diagnostics. Liu Mengli asked anxiously, "What happened to Yun Ji? Could it be a side effect of the antidote?"

Jiang Yanwan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "No, Mengli, this is not a problem with the antidote." She turned her eyes to Yun Ji, and her voice was filled with a hint of surprise and disbelief, "Yun Ji, you may be pregnant."

When Yun Ji heard the news, she froze and was unable to react for a moment. Liu Mengli was also stunned and looked at Jiang Yanwan in shock: "Really?"

Wu Junyao walked in at this time and just heard the news. He couldn't help but frowned: "Pregnant? Can her current physical condition withstand it?"

Jiang Yanwan sighed: "The situation is indeed complicated. The poison has been removed, but her body has not fully recovered. Pregnancy is both a surprise and a worry."

Yun Ji bit her lower lip tightly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes: "I don't know what to do..."

Liu Mengli held her hand, her eyes full of determination: "Yun Ji, no matter what, we will accompany you and face all difficulties together."

Jiang Yanwan also nodded: "Yes, we will do our best to ensure the safety of you and your child."

Yun Ji regained some strength, but the news of her pregnancy gave her a greater shock. Jiang Yanwan and Liu Mengli tried their best to comfort her and let her rest. At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and a palace maid ran in in a panic.

"Doctor Jiang, the Empress Defei is here."

Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly: "Mrs. Defei? Why is she here at this time?" She winked at Liu Mengli, "You continue to take care of Yun Ji, I'll go take a look."

Jiang Yanwan walked out of the ward and saw Concubine De standing outside the door. She looked pale and haggard. When she saw Jiang Yanwan, she said anxiously, "Doctor Jiang, I have something urgent to ask you. Please help me."

Jiang Yanwan was puzzled, but still let her into the pharmacy. "Madam Defei, please tell me what's the matter."

Defei sat on the chair and said in a low voice: "Doctor Jiang, I know you are an excellent doctor. There is something that only you can help me with." She paused, her voice trembling slightly, "I... I want a child."

Jiang Yanwan was unable to react for a moment, "What did you say?"

With tears in her eyes, Concubine De explained with a bitter smile, "My only child has died, but I cannot be childless. If I cannot give birth to an heir, my future will be in jeopardy. I heard that you are a great doctor, so I came to ask you to prescribe some medicine to help me get pregnant."

Jiang Yanwan understood the situation of Concubine De. She knew that in the harem, if a concubine could not give birth to a prince, her position would be very embarrassing. She pondered for a moment and said, "My Lady Concubine De, I can prescribe medicine for you, but I need to know your physical condition in detail first."

De Fei nodded quickly: "Of course, please help me."

Jiang Yanwan carefully examined Concubine De, and then began to look for a suitable prescription on the bookshelf. She took out an ancient medical book, flipped through it for a while, and finally wrote a prescription and handed it to Concubine De.

"This is the medicine I prescribed for you to regulate your body. Take it for two months first, and then we will do further conditioning."

Defei took the prescription and said gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Jiang. I really don't know how to repay your kindness."

Jiang Yanwan smiled gently: "You are too kind, Madam Defei. It is my duty to cure illnesses and save lives. However, this prescription may take a long time to take effect, so you need to be patient."

De Fei nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will follow your doctor's advice."

After leaving the pharmacy, Concubine De felt a glimmer of hope, knowing that this might be her last chance. Returning to the palace, she immediately ordered the palace maids to prepare the herbs and began to take them according to Jiang Yanwan's prescription.

On the other side, Jiang Yanwan returned to Yun Ji's ward after dealing with Concubine De's affairs. Liu Mengli was chatting with Yun Ji, and when she saw her come back, she immediately asked, "How is it, what does Concubine De want to see you about?"

Jiang Yanwan sighed softly: "De Fei asked me to help her regulate her body, hoping that she could get pregnant with the prince's child."

"It's not easy for her either." Yun Ji said weakly, "The struggle in the harem is cruel and ruthless. Everyone has their own difficulties."

Jiang Yanwan nodded and changed the subject: "Yun Ji, do you feel better?"
