Shen Yu had her own set of insights when it came to treating asthma.
Based on her grandfather’s description, the Princess Highness’s asthma most likely had some allergic triggers as well.
The biggest problem was the sudden onset and the lack of any specific medicine with obvious effects.
In truth, the level of decoctions prepared by the Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Academy of Medicine was already quite high.
However, herbal soups were ultimately slow to take effect and came with significant side effects.
If it weren’t an acute illness, it might be manageable, but an asthma attack could very likely result in death.
No matter how miraculous the Imperial Academy of Medicine’s decoctions were, they required a long time to take effect and were accompanied by many side effects.
Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and so on…
Since the current Princess Highness was also a child, the side effects would be even more pronounced on her.
As a Director of Pediatrics, Shen Yu knew best that children had the lowest level of cooperation during medical treatment.
They often amplified the difficulty of treatment and the severity of side effects due to pain and fear.
Those senior figures in the Imperial Academy of Medicine with their white beards held either bitter decoctions or sharp silver needles in their hands.
Forget the Princess Highness—even Shen Yu would tremble at the sight of them.
All of this would invisibly increase the difficulty of curing the Princess Highness.
Furthermore, every time the Princess Highness suffered an attack, it meant a trip through Guimenguan…
Shen Yu did have a plan to deal with it.
Mahuangcao was the key.
If she could extract the Mahuangjian and Weimahuangjian from it and then use Nebulization for rapid inhalation by the Princess Highness, she could at least solve the problem of the sudden onset.
As for the rest, Shen Yu would have to see the Princess Highness in person before she could know more.
“The journey to The Capital is long. Even if we switch horses without stopping, it will take about a month. Yu, if you truly have the confidence to save that little brat, it’s best to set out as soon as possible. I will secretly help you arrange the necessary connections.”
“There will be people from the Biaoju protecting you along the way, and I’ll provide you with enough travel expenses. Additionally… take as much of the medicine in your mother’s hands as you can. This is all the family can do to help; the rest of the path you must walk on your own.”
Shen Qingtian held a pipe emitting wisps of blue smoke as he thoughtfully instructed Shen Yu.
On the surface, he appeared calm and collected, but in reality, that pipe had been empty for a long time.
The old man’s favorite tobacco hadn’t been smoked at all; it had all turned into blue smoke and drifted into the night sky.
“As for the issue of your identity and the matter of providing a guarantee, I will find a way.”
As he spoke, Shen Qingtian tapped the pipe against the sole of his shoe a few times, then placed his hands behind his back and left the room without looking back.
No one knew where he was going.
In the Shen Family, Shen Qingtian’s word was law; no one dared to ask what he intended to do, nor did anyone have the right to question him.

“Yu, have you really decided?”
After finishing her beating of Shen Bashan, Su Lianyue returned to her daughter’s side with a worried expression.
She watched her precious daughter, whom she had raised with such difficulty, about to travel far away, her heart filled with immense reluctance.
But what could she do?
If she didn’t let Yu go, the mother and daughter would eventually be separated by death anyway.
Letting Yu go might actually offer a glimmer of hope.
“Yes. Don’t worry, Mother. I will definitely protect the Shen Family and Qingfeng Village.”
“My baby has grown up. Come… sleep with Mother tonight. We’ll have a heart-to-heart, and Mother will give you all the treasures I’ve saved up to take with you. You use those medicines better than I do!”
“Mother?”
Before Shen Yu could refuse, Su Lianyue pulled her precious daughter’s hand and entered the bedroom.
Shen Bashan wasn’t returning to the room to sleep tonight, so the double bed was just right for the mother and daughter.
As for why Shen Bashan wasn’t returning to the room?
He wouldn’t have the nerve…
Su Lianyue hadn’t punished him by making him sleep on the floor and had even tacitly allowed him to find an empty room to sleep in, which was already very merciful.
As for Shen Yu, she was currently overwhelmed by Su Lianyue’s soft embrace.
Although Su Lianyue was over thirty and had given birth to Shen Yu, her beauty had not changed at all due to age or childbirth.
Even in the eyes of Shen Yu, her own daughter, Su Lianyue was extremely charming.
