“It can.” This time, Margaery was certain.

The White Bone Erosion Powder was never meant for ordinary people, and the incomplete scroll of the founder also described how to resolve the situation if an ordinary person accidentally ingested it.
However, it was rather troublesome.
“That’s good if it can be cured. Please come inside quickly.” Yohan was more than just happy. If not for propriety, he would have dragged Margaery inside directly.
It was the first time Phillipa had seen her father so happy that he nearly lost his composure, and she couldn’t help but feel emotional. “Grandfather has tried every possible method over the years.
“Father even borrowed the secret classics from the Royal Medical Hall to study, but after four years, he gained nothing.
“This time, we truly thank you.”
She held Margaery’s hand, her heart pounding.
Margaery understood their feelings and was also moved by the genuine affection among family members, feeling warmth in her heart.
‘Between us, there’s no need for thanks.” Margaery smiled as she walked inside. “I don’t have much time. This acupuncture treatment will take a while, so let’s skip the formalities.”
‘Indeed, from now on, you’ll be quite busy.” Phillipa sighed, then smiled. “But it’s fine. Don’t you enter the palace every other day? I work in the palace, so we can still meet.”
“Yes. Margaery nodded.
In fact, she was rather eager to enter the palace.
She admired the King’s strategic mind. If she could remain by his side and learn for three to five years, she would come to understand the court’s intrigues, and nothing in the world would be beyond her.
Margaery had suffered before from knowing nothing, so she was desperate to become stronger.
Yohan watched the two young ladies chatting enthusiastically, then turned and gave orders, “Tell the kitchen to prepare a party, the highest standard!”
He was very excited.
Afterwards, the three of them went together to see Roy.
Roy was surprised. He hadn’t expected Margaery to come again that afternoon and couldn’t help but ask. “Margaery, is there any progress?”
“Yes.” Margaery nodded. “My master said that what you have is White Bone Erosion Powder. We can cure this poison”
“You truly identified it?” Roy was overjoyed and so excited he tried to stand up.
But as soon as he rose, he felt short of breath, his chest tight and his face flushed.
“The test results are in. This poison maintains a balance between yin and yang, with cold and heat counteracting each other.

It is very difficult to prescribe medicine for detoxification; acupuncture must be used in conjunction,” she said.
Margaery sized up Roy, feeling confident.
She discovered that she truly had a talent in this field, because even through clothing, she could determine the location of Roy’s acupoints and meridians based on his height, bone structure, and body shape.
“You want to perform acupuncture on me?” Roy watched as she took out silver needles, feeling shocked and incredulous. “I heard you haven’t been studying medicine for very long, have you?”
After all, the previous prescriptions were all given to Avery. No one had heard of Margaery studying medicine.
Margaery felt a bit embarrassed as she spoke of this matter. “I must have made you laugh, Mr. Eames. I was ignorant before and wasted many good years.
“But before coming here, I practiced with my master. He said I am capable of handling this.”
Margaery was not unprepared. She had checked beforehand.
“Alright, then you may proceed with the acupuncture.” Roy nodded, though he was still anxious inside.
Anyone trained in medicine for years, even decades. Still, he told himself that Margaery might be an exception.
After all, even the King treated her differently.
Margaery also knew it was impossible to gain people’s trust so easily, even the King favored her only after testing her for quite some time.
She simply focused on doing what needed to be done.
Moreover, she was not here today to seek recognition, but simply to help because of her good relationship with Phillipa.
“This is the prepared medicine. Please drink it first.” Margaery took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Roy. “Once the medicine takes effect, I will perform acupuncture for you.
‘But someone needs to help you stand up, because there are forty–nine acupoints, and all must be treated together.”
Forty–nine acupoints corresponded to forty–nine types of poison and forty–nine antidotes.
Acupuncture was used to coordinate with the antidote, ensuring that the medicinal properties within Roy’s body remained balanced.
Otherwise, if the balance was disrupted, there would only one outcome: death.
“Alright.” Roy took the medicine.
He had been bedridden for four years, even needing assistance to use the latrine. This life was truly unbearable, so it was better to try desperate measures.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Margaery looked at Yohan and Phillipa. “Mr. Yohan, Phillipa, please help Mr. Roy stand upright.”
Yohan was so nervous that he broke out in a sweat all over and stepped forward to help the elderly man up.
Although he followed the instructions, he was still anxious. She was, after all, still very young and inexperienced.

Phillipa could only close her eyes and try her best to trust her close friend. Even if she did not trust Margaery, she had to trust those behind her.
Everyone’s expressions were somewhat complicated. Margaery did not mind; this was only human nature.
However, when she began to administer the needles, everyone’s expressions subtly changed.
She appeared truly focused, as if she were completely immersed in the act of acupuncture.
Moreover, her speed was astonishing; she barely blinked and inserted forty–nine silver needles in one go.
Yohan and Roy exchanged glances. “Father, how do you feel?”
“My chest hurts.” Roy did not feel well.
After taking the medicine, he felt a pervasive discomfort, an intense chill invading his internal organs, and his limbs felt as if they were frozen.
Yet, after Margaery applied the silver needles, a contrasting warmth surged throughout his body, the two sensations clashing within him.
Unable to hold back, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
“Grandpa!” Phillipa was startled and at a loss.
“It’s alright, this is normal.” Margaery glanced at the black bloodstain on the ground. “Master said that you need to spit out several mouthfuls of black blood to expel most of the poison. The remainder must be treated with medicine for at least a month.”
She slowly withdrew some of the silver needles and changed the acupuncture points.
This cycle was repeated seven times.
Roy spat out several more mouthfuls of black blood, felt somewhat dizzy, and staggered.
“Father, how are you feeling now?” Yohan was filled with apprehension, genuinely afraid that Margaery might make a
mistake.
Roy took a deep breath. “I’m a bit dizzy, but my chest doesn’t feel tight anymore. It’s just that my body aches…. a lot.”
Yohan looked at Margaery.
Margaery explained, “Just rest for a while and you’ll be fine. This is a normal phenomenon.”
She put away the silver needles and reminded, “After acupuncture, do not touch anything cold, do not go outside in the wind, and do not catch a chill for one hour.
‘Lie down and rest for a while.”
Upon hearing this, Yohan and Phillipa had no choice but to help Roy onto the bed.
When they came back to their senses, they realized it was almost dark.
Yohan lit a lamp and looked at Margaery with a complicated expression. “Margaery, is this really okay?”
Margaery felt a bit awkward, thinking about how to comfort him.

Roy, however, kept taking deep breaths and then waved his hand. “I think it’s effective. It hurts, but my breath feels smooth. Let me rest for a while and we’ll see tomorrow.”
Yohan nodded and looked at Margaery. “What kind of reward do you want? Our family can satisfy any request you have.”
If his father could return to the position of Lord of Warfare, Margaery would be the Eames family’s greatest hero.
