In modern society, a male doctor treating a female patient wouldn't raise much controversy. But this was feudal ancient times, and for Mo the Divine Physician—an unrelated man—to ask the princess to disrobe would undoubtedly spark scandal.
Yun'er gasped, her eyes reddening. "Absolutely not! Her Highness is of noble birth—how could she... how could she be seen undressed by an unrelated man? It would ruin her reputation!"
Mo the Divine Physician shrugged helplessly. "There's stagnant blood in her body, likely from a heavy blow to her back. I need to apply acupuncture to clear the congestion. If the blood remains near her heart, she'll perish within days."
Yun'er's tears fell like rain.
Torn between the princess's purity and her life, she was at a loss.
"Ah, little beauty, don't cry." Mo the Divine Physician couldn't bear the sight of Yun'er's tear-streaked face.
He had always been weak to a woman's tears.
