Yun Jiao stood up, "I'll give you some acupuncture first. It will feel better after the needles, but you still need medicine."
Guihua shook her head, "There's not a copper coin left at home; the grains have just been harvested, but they haven't been taken to sell yet. I really have no money for medicine."
Yun Jiao smiled, "Then let's do acupuncture first; I'll prescribe a free remedy for you later."
She first went to the kitchen to boil the needles for sterilization, and then asked Guihua to lift her clothes to insert the needles around her navel and stomach.
Mrs. Qin watched the needles gleam with a golden light and exclaimed, "I heard before that Doctor Gu's ancestors were Imperial Physicians; it seems true. These needles must be made of gold."
Mrs. Chen, standing nearby, felt an inexplicable pride, "Of course, the Imperial Physicians used them, so they must be made of gold."
"These golden needles might have been used on the emperor himself."
