Chapter 334: 333 Ayan can’t be away from you for even a step (first update)

Li Xianyun had no time to look at Yelu Yan, but was evaluating the goosefoot coins, "Grandmother, your daughter-in-law will take it back and nurture it for a few days, and once it’s well, I’ll bring it to you. How does that sound?"

"Very good," Yaduo smiled.

She was at her wits’ end, and hadn’t expected Li Xianyun to so easily solve her problem.

"Let your daughter-in-law take your pulse."

"Alright," Yaduo extended her hand to hold Li Xianyun’s, and the two of them walked towards the Warm Pavilion hand in hand.

Yelu Yan followed behind the two of them, trailing them like a tail.

Li Xianyun and Yaduo sat down on the soft couch, while Yelu Yan took a seat on a Taishi Chair close to Li Xianyun.

Li Xianyun opened the medical box that Youlan had placed on the desk and took out a pulse pillow, placing it on the low table by the soft couch.

Yaduo rested her wrist on the pulse pillow and looked at Li Xianyun, asking, "Xianxian, you look pale. Are you feeling unwell?"

"Not unwell, just didn’t sleep well last night."

Yelu Yan chimed in, "Grandmother, don’t listen to her nonsense, she had stomach pain all night, and this morning she barely felt a bit better before insisting on leaving the palace. Even I couldn’t stop her; you must take good care of her."

Li Xianyun’s mouth curled into a smile, realizing that this grandmother and grandson had already started acting, and it seemed she wouldn’t be able to leave the palace today.

Indeed, Yaduo said, "Xianxian, this time you must listen to Ayan. Your health is the most important thing; when you reach grandmother’s age, you’ll understand. All sorts of ailments come out, and grandmother now particularly regrets not taking care of my health when I was young. Now I suffer in old age. As a physician, you should understand better than grandmother."

"Your daughter-in-law will heed your advice, I will not leave the palace today."

Yelu Yan’s mouth curved upwards, and he exchanged a glance with Yaduo.

Li Xianyun conducted the four diagnostic methods on Yaduo.

Yaduo’s body was still relatively healthy, except for a chronic leg pain that couldn’t be completely cured.

Li Xianyun gave her a few acupuncture treatments to relieve her pain.

"Grandmother, next time if you feel uncomfortable in your legs and feet, just let me know and I’ll come over to give you acupuncture."

"Alright."

Just then, Youlan walked in, her gaze lowered, and respectfully said to Yelu Yan, "Reporting to Khan, Jinwu has asked me to inform you, the issue from the morning’s court has been resolved; Minister Xiao requests your presence for a final decision."

Yelu Yan looked at Yaduo and said, "Grandmother, then your grandson will go attend to official duties."

"Go on."

But Yelu Yan did not leave, instead, he turned to Li Xianyun and said, "Xianxian, come out for a moment, your husband has something to say to you."

Yaduo laughed out loud, looking at Li Xianyun and teasing, "Ayan can’t go one step without you."

Li Xianyun blushed and followed Yelu Yan out.

Once they were outside the inner chamber, Yelu Yan wrapped Li Xianyun in his arms, looked down at her, and instructed, "Xianxian, since you have already promised grandmother not to leave the palace, stay here obediently, alright?"

"I understand."

"Then your husband will be going. I’ll accompany you for lunch."

Li Xianyun obediently nodded her head.

Yelu Yan bent down to kiss her.

Li Xianyun was startled and raised her hand to cover his handsome lips, her face flushed as she whispered, "Husband, this is not the Khan Palace; be mindful."

"No one dares to look," Yelu Yan murmured against her hand.

Li Xianyun looked around and saw that all the maids had indeed lowered their heads deeply, no one daring to look.

She loosened her hand, and Yelu Yan took the opportunity to lower his head and plant a kiss on her lips, hugging her tightly before striding out.

Yaduo, leaning back against the head of the bed, watched Li Xianyun walk in with flushed cheeks, the amusement in her eyes almost overflowing.

Li Xianyun sat on the edge of the bed, checking the needles inserted in Yaduo’s leg, and asked, "Grandmother, is there any discomfort?"

"No." Yaduo took Li Xianyun’s small hand with a smile, "Xianxian, you’ve heard about Minister Xiao being able to stand and walk, haven’t you?"

Li Xianyun responded with a hum.

During this period, although she had not personally treated Xiao Dilu, she would listen to Wu Mu and Huo Dun’s reports about Xiao Dilu’s condition every day, and then prescribe medicine accordingly.

When it was discovered that Xiao Dilu could walk on his own, Huo Dun rushed to the Khan Palace to share the good news immediately.

Yaduo continued, "Minister Xiao’s ability to walk again is all thanks to you."

As she spoke, she patted Li Xianyun’s small hand with her other hand and said, "I’ve heard everything, Xiao Dilu speaks his mind and harbors quite a prejudice against the Han people, which has caused you much distress. Do not resent him."

"Grandmother, rest assured, he is the Khan’s mentor and a minister essential to the Khan, so I have never held any grudge against him," Li Xianyun said truthfully.

Yaduo sighed in relief, "That’s good to hear. You understand the greater good so well, Ayan is fortunate to have found you."

After she finished speaking, she called out to someone outside, "Bring it in."

Soon, two maids came in.

One of the maids carried a large tray, covered with a blue soft cloth with golden edges.

The contents of the tray bulged up significantly, looking quite substantial.

The two approached Li Xianyun, and one maid lifted the soft cloth to reveal a snow-white fox fur.

Yaduo said to Li Xianyun, "This is from Minister Xiao, he sent it to you through me as an apology for his previous disrespectful behavior."

Li Xianyun had seen fox furs before in Houtang, but she had never seen one of such good quality.

"Healing the sick and helping the injured is the duty of a physician; moreover, the Khan’s mentor is also my mentor. It is my duty to treat Minister Xiao, and such a generous gift is really beyond what I can accept. Please, Grandmother, convey my regards and return this gift to Minister Xiao," she replied.

Li Xianyun was young, yet she possessed such breadth of spirit and knew how to act appropriately, which was indeed rare.

Yaduo’s satisfaction with her granddaughter-in-law, Li Xianyun, grew even more.

"You should accept it. If you don’t, Minister Xiao might think you haven’t forgiven him, and who knows, he might feel compelled to come and apologize in person," she insisted.

It seemed refusing would actually make her seem pedantic.

With that thought, Li Xianyun said, "Well then, I will accept it. Please thank Minister Xiao on my behalf, Grandmother."

"Of course," Yaduo replied.

When the time came, Li Xianyun removed the silver needles and prescribed a calming and sleep-inducing formula for Yaduo before leaving Cirui Hall with Youlan and Bater.

Back at the Khan Palace, Li Xianyun put the goosefoot coin on the flower stand and changed into clean cotton, then took the human acupoint map to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

She had previously promised Wu Mu that she would teach the art of acupuncture to the people of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

However, she had been consistently delayed due to various matters.

With a rare day of leisure at hand, she could finally return to her original profession.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Medical Bureau, they saw a maid crying and sobbing as she emerged from the premises.

Seeing Li Xianyun, the maid quickly knelt down and performed a bowing gesture, saying, "Greetings to the Princess Consort."

The maids and Palace Servants in Khitan were ranked differently and distinguished by their clothing.

According to this maid’s attire, she appeared to be of the lowest rank.

Li Xianyun looked at the maid and asked, "What has happened?"

The maid was too frightened to speak, afraid that saying the wrong thing and offending someone would make it difficult for her to remain in the palace.

Li Xianyun was well aware of her concerns and reassured her with a soft voice, "Just tell me, as long as I am here, no one can harm you."
