A grandmother and granddaughter swap souls, causing chaos throughout the entire court.

When Zhong Tingyuan heard the words "one corpse, three lives," his mind went completely blank.

His withered hands gripped the wooden armrests of the wheelchair tightly.

"Save her!" Zhong Tingyuan roared hoarsely, like a lone wolf cornered in a desperate situation. "I don't care what method you use! You must save her!"

Dr. Chen was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, crying and wailing with a mournful face.

"Sir, it's not that I haven't tried my best, but my medical skills are too shallow to save him!"

"Please heed my advice and hurry to fetch the imperial physician! Especially Physician Wang, who is most skilled in gynecology and pediatrics. If we can get Physician Wang to perform acupuncture to stabilize the pregnancy, there's a chance that the First Madam or the baby in her womb might survive!"

Given the current status of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, sending a letter to the palace to request a royal physician would be a simple matter of a single word.

But Doctor Chen knew in his heart that it would take the old lady or the Marquis to give the order.

The moment Zhong Tingyuan heard those words, his heart sank into an abyss.

Please summon the imperial physician?

How could a cripple stripped of his title and confined to a side courtyard to await death have the necessary credentials and invitations to summon the imperial physician?

Moreover, with Jingxian's body in such poor condition and bleeding so heavily, how could she possibly wait for the imperial physician to arrive!

It's too late!

Zhong Tingyuan suddenly leaned down, grabbed the physician by the collar, and dragged him forcefully in front of him.

Those dull, lifeless eyes now held a chilling madness and resolve.

"It's too late...the imperial physician won't arrive..."

Zhong Tingyuan stared intently into the physician's eyes, speaking each word slowly and deliberately, as if they were tears of blood squeezed from between his teeth.

"Listen to me, all I want is to live a quiet and peaceful life!"

"If all else fails... then sacrifice the baby to save the mother! Use medicine! Use potent medicine! As long as it can save my wife's life, even if it means... aborting those two children!"

As he spoke the last few words, Zhong Tingyuan's lips trembled violently, and large tears fell onto the physician's face.

Those were his own flesh and blood!

But he had no choice; he couldn't just watch Jingxian die in front of him!

Dr. Chen was so frightened by that look that he trembled like a leaf.

Abandon the small to save the big?

That's easy for you to say!

With the First Madam's current dilapidated state, let alone using potent drugs to abort the pregnancy, even a slightly stronger dose would be enough to kill her!

But with the old man looking like he wanted to eat him alive, if he didn't agree, he might be strangled to death right now.

Moreover, we don't even know what the old lady's plans are.

Dr. Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree in a trembling voice.

"Sir... I... I can only give it a try..."

He quickly laid out the unpleasant truth upfront, desperately trying to shirk responsibility.

"But I must make it clear first, the First Madam's health is far too weak. Even if medicine is used to induce labor or save her life, it would be a risky move with a slim chance of survival!"

"I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate. If... if in the end it truly is beyond saving, please, sir, do not blame me!"

Zhong Tingyuan was well aware that he was making unreasonable demands of others.

He released his grip and closed his eyes in despair.

"Let's take the medicine..."

He turned his head and looked at his wife, who had completely fainted from the pain on the bed, his heart breaking.

Jingxian, you must hold on, you must hold on!

Just as Doctor Chen shakily opened his medicine box, preparing to take out silver needles to forcefully keep Wen Jingxian alive,

"Bang!"

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Guoguo rushed in, panting, "Make way, let me see!"

She strode to the bedside and pushed Zhong Tingyuan aside.

Zhong Tingyuan was pushed so that his wheelchair moved back half a foot, and he looked at his mother in horror.

I wonder what my mother will do to Jingxian now? Will she not even leave her a complete corpse?

Guoguo took a deep breath and held the dusty, palm-sized purse in her palm.

Her withered fingers lightly brushed against the opening of her purse, and a barely perceptible glint of light flashed by.

next second.

To the astonishment of Zhong Tingyuan and the maids and servants in the room, Guoguo suddenly pulled out a sandalwood box, a full foot square, from the palm-sized purse!

"this……"

Zhong Tingyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in his eyes.

A hidden world within a sleeve?!

How is that possible!

He stared intently at his mother's wrinkled face, his heart sinking into an abyss.

My mother's evil arts have actually reached such a terrifying level?

They can even use legendary immortal techniques?

Wouldn't that mean their entire main branch would be completely under her control, never to rise again?

Zhong Tingyuan closed his eyes in despair, even his breath carrying a heavy smell of blood.

Guoguo didn't care what her father would think.

She deftly popped open the lock on the wooden box.

"Whoosh—"

Inside the box was a set of silver needles that gleamed with a cold light, arranged neatly.

Below that were rows of oddly shaped knives and some small medicine bottles.

Guoguo's face was tense.

She is young.

However, he is extremely talented in the Eastern Sea Taoist method of eliminating calamities for all living beings, which he learned from his master!

She will definitely be able to save her mother!

"Lift up her clothes and expose her belly, quick!" Guoguo ordered the maid in a stern voice.

Wan Tang quickly stepped forward and did as she was told, her hands trembling violently.

Guoguo made a hand seal with both hands, and a faint, soft golden light emanated from her fingertips. Then she picked up the longest silver needle.

She was chanting a spell rapidly.

"The Yellow Emperor, the supreme ruler, is above all gods, protecting life and safeguarding the fetus, ensuring peace for mother and child. So be it!"

Before she could finish speaking, she flicked her wrist.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several silver needles, as if they had eyes, accurately pierced several major acupoints around Wen Jingxian's abdomen.

The needle's tail was untouched, yet it still hummed and vibrated slightly.

A faint, almost imperceptible golden light slowly entered Wen Jingxian's body through the needle tip.

Wen Jingxian's consciousness, which was almost fading from the pain, miraculously felt the tearing sensation in her abdomen gradually subside.

The warm energy protected her heart, but she was too exhausted to even open her eyes and could only fall into a deep sleep.

To outsiders, the First Madam still lay there, her face ashen, lifeless.

Zhong Tingyuan stared intently at the trembling silver needles, holding his breath.

An indescribable shock surged in his ashen eyes. He gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, as if afraid that the slightest sound would disturb this divine skill.

Guoguo had no time to pay attention to everyone's shock.

Her withered old hand reached into the dusty little pouch again and pulled out a yellow talisman covered with mysterious runes.

"The Yellow Emperor, the supreme ruler, is above all gods, protecting life and safeguarding the fetus, ensuring peace for mother and child. So be it!"

With a low, rapid incantation, Guoguo flipped her wrist and "snap" stuck the talisman onto Wen Jingxian's forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.

"call--"

The yellow talisman spontaneously combusted the moment it touched her skin, turning into a ray of golden light that disappeared entirely into Wen Jingxian's brow.
