Jing Jieyu looked at Nangong Shuangshuang with a very tense expression, wanting to know what poison she had been afflicted with. Nangong Shuangshuang, on the other hand, continued taking Jing Jieyu's pulse. She was confident that her medical skills were top-notch and believed it impossible not to detect the issue.
As Nangong Shuangshuang took Jing Jieyu's pulse, she asked her some questions, making full use of the key TCM techniques of observation, listening, questioning, and pulse diagnosis. She finally confirmed that the problem was likely metal poisoning, which explained why the medicine could result in deformed children.
It was surprising to Nangong Shuangshuang that people in ancient times already knew how to harm others with metallic poisons. Indeed, despite the limitations of their times, ancient people's wisdom was in no way inferior to that of modern people.
