The noblewoman was in so much pain that she could not speak. The young girl quickly helped her mother and fed her medicine.
"My lord, prepare hot water and clean cloths," Nan Gong Shuang commanded without looking back, her voice low yet carrying an undeniable authority. The Noble Lady instinctively ordered her servants to comply.
With swift hands, she began to massage the noblewoman's abdomen, murmuring softly, "The hour has come, the heart pulse is connected..." Her technique was unique, as if she were guiding the waves, and gradually, the noblewoman's breathing became steadier.
"This is... Hui Yang Tui Mai Fa?" the imperial physician exclaimed in disbelief. "This technique has been lost for a hundred years; how do you know it..."
Nan Gong Shuang did not respond. She took out silver needles and swiftly inserted them into specific acupuncture points on the noblewoman's abdomen. In a flash of movement, seven needles were precisely placed.
"Hiss—" The imperial physician gasped in shock. "Returning Yang Seven Needles! This is a secret technique of the Imperial Medical Institute, never revealed to outsiders. Who exactly are you?"
Suddenly, the noblewoman cried out in pain. Nan Gong Shuang reacted quickly, pressing her hands on specific points of her abdomen and executing the second form of Hui Yang Tui Mai Fa.
"The fetus is starting to turn; please cooperate and exert yourself!"
For the next quarter of an hour, the atmosphere inside the sedan chair was tense to the extreme. Beads of sweat formed on Nan Gong Shuang's forehead, yet she remained calm and focused, her movements precise.
"Quack—quack—"
A loud cry broke the silence.
"It's born! It's a little master!" a maid exclaimed joyfully.
Nan Gong Shuang swiftly took the child, expertly cut the umbilical cord, and after a brief cleaning, handed the baby to the maid. She then retrieved a pill and gave it to the noblewoman. "This is Hui Yang Dan; it will help you regain your strength."
The noblewoman's complexion gradually improved as she looked gratefully at Nan Gong Shuang. "Thank you for saving my life."
The Noble Lady also wore a joyful expression and stepped forward with cupped hands. "I am Shen Guo Gong Fu's heir, Shen Hongyuan. I apologize for any offense earlier; I hope you can forgive my rudeness. May I ask for your name?"
Nan Gong Shuang quietly packed away her medical kit. "Nangong Shuang, just a humble physician; it’s nothing worth mentioning."
Shen Hongyuan was overjoyed upon hearing this. "So you are a physician! Nangong Shuang's medical skills are remarkable; would you be willing to come with us to Shen Residence? I would offer you one hundred taels of gold to serve as our household physician."
"Father, why not invite Nangong Shuang to be my personal physician!" the young girl eagerly suggested, admiration shining in her eyes.
Nan Gong Shuang shook her head gently. "Thank you for your kindness, but Nangong Shuang has just arrived in the capital and has other matters to attend to; I cannot stay long."
Shen Hongyuan's expression fell with disappointment. "Your skills are truly exceptional; if only you could join us at Shen Residence..."
"Your generosity is appreciated; I will remember it," Nan Gong Shuang said lightly as she bowed slightly, her tone resolute.
"In that case, please accept this silver as a token of gratitude." Shen Hongyuan produced a heavy bag of silver.
Nan Gong Shuang did not refuse and accepted the bag. "Thank you, my lord. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."
The imperial physician beside her was unwilling to back down and blocked her path. "Miss, please wait! The Hui Yang Tui Mai Fa is a secret of the Imperial Medical Institute. Where did you learn it?"
Nan Gong Shuang's eyes turned cold. "A healer's heart is to save the world and help others. As for the origins of my medical skills, why must you dig so deeply?"
The physician was taken aback by her gaze, instinctively taking a step back, yet he remained persistent. "Miss, your medical skills are extraordinary; you must come from a prestigious family. May I ask which renowned medical clan you belong to?"
Nan Gong Shuang replied calmly, "I am alone, with no sect or school." Her tone was indifferent, but her eyes flicked to the jade pendant at the physician's waist, stirring something within her, though she did not show it on her face. "I merely learned some medical skills from a wandering elder in my childhood, achieving only minor accomplishments."
The daughter of the Shen Residence asked curiously, "Since Nan Gong Shuang understands medicine, why have you come to the capital alone?"
