Chapter 62 Is this my last burst of energy?
Shen Qingmo's expression instantly became awkward, and he had already cursed Lin Siqiong and Lin Ruoli in his heart.
Marquis Chengyi looked at Yu Youning eagerly, "What will the little genius doctor do to save my father?"
Zhai Heming also hurried over and looked at Yu Youning with his tear-red eyes.
"Yu Youning, you——"
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped on the back of the head by Cheng Yihou.
"Who told you to call me by my name? Call me the little miracle doctor!"
Zhai Heming obediently changed his words, "Little Miracle Doctor! Please save my grandfather! As long as you are willing to save my grandfather, you can ask me to do anything!"
Seeing that both the father and son were looking at him eagerly, Yu Youning sighed softly.
"It's okay to save someone, but don't bother me again!"
Before Zhai Heming could say anything, Marquis Chengyi slapped him on the back of the head again.
The slap was so loud and crisp that it hurt just by listening to it.
"You little bastard! If you dare to bother the little genius doctor again, I'll make you eat stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots when you come back!"
Zhai Heming was beaten to tears, but he nodded obediently, "Yes, father, I understand."
Marquis Chengyi then turned to look at Yu Youning and said, "Little Miracle Doctor, if you can save my father, in addition to what I promised you before, I will give you another 1,000 taels of gold!"
Yu Youning's eyes lit up!
Another thousand taels of gold?
How much food can I buy then?
Slurp slurp!
"Okay! I'll save him! All of you get out!"
Shen Qingmo's heart skipped a beat. Did he agree to it just like that?
The imperial physician's words were like a death sentence, yet Yu Youning still agreed? Was she that confident?
Or does she simply not understand what is going on?
Chen Qingmo's mind was full of thoughts, but he finally spoke slowly, "Youning, let's go out and wait. Why don't we let the imperial physician and the doctor stay here? They can also help you and lend a hand. By the way, they can also learn how to detoxify. If someone else gets poisoned in the future, they won't be helpless. Don't you think so?"
Before Yu Youning could answer, Marquis Chengyi looked over coldly.
"Lord Shen is truly magnanimous and concerned for the country and its people. In that case, I will have Lord Shen beaten to near death, then have him sniff the poison. Then, I will have the young doctor lead all the other imperial physicians and doctors to detoxify you, and have them all learn from him. Lord Shen is so understanding, he will surely agree, right?"
Hearing such sarcastic words, Shen Qingmo couldn't maintain the smile on his face, "Don't be angry, my lord, I am just--"
"I don't care what your reasons are, but what's most important to me is my father's health. No one should try to exploit my father's safety for personal gain."
"That's not the case with me!"
"Lord Shen, are you going to leave on your own, or do you want me to have you thrown out?"
Marquis Chengyi's expression had completely darkened.
He was not joking, but really wanted to take action.
Shen Qingmo didn't dare to say anything more and could only follow everyone out.
Although the imperial physician and several doctors wanted to see how Yu Youning would detoxify, they did not dare to anger Marquis Chengyi at this time, so they could only walk away, looking back every few steps.
Yu Youning closed the door and walked back to the bed. Looking at the old man who was breathing out more than breathing in, he sighed heavily.
After a moment, she took out a golden needle, pricked her fingertip, frowned, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it into the old marquis's mouth.
That drop of bright red blood flowed through the gap between his lips into his mouth and quickly disappeared.
Yu Youning went to get a glass of water and fed it to him bit by bit.
Seeing that his expression had relaxed, she put the teacup aside and sighed.
It hurts so much to prick your own finger!
She is not greedy for money!
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!
But what should I buy to eat later?
Losing a drop of blood would cause serious damage to her body!
I have to eat more to make up for it!
Let’s eat the whole street first!
Having made the decision so happily in his heart, Yu Youning smiled happily.
As I was smiling, I saw the person on the bed opened his eyes.
Yu Youning blinked, "You're awake!"
Woke up pretty quickly!
The old marquis has been ill for such a long time that he is not awake for much time every day.
Even when I woke up, I still felt cold and heavy, and every breath I took required a lot of effort.
But now, he was surprised to find that his whole body was free of all illnesses and became extremely relaxed!
Not only did his breathing become smoother, but even his old eyes, which had been a little blurry, seemed to be much clearer.
Before, if you wanted to get up, you had to have help from others.
But now, he sat down easily.
The old marquis touched his face and looked at his hands. "Am I... having a last burst of energy?"
He had heard before that people would have a moment of clarity before they died and become like normal people.
But it won't be long before he dies.
Could it be that his time has come?
"It's not a last gasp!"
"I saved you!"
"The poison has been removed from you! Your body is healed!"
"As long as you don't commit suicide and no one poisons you again, there's no problem living for a few more years!"
Yu Youning's voice is soft and sticky, and with her white and tender chubby cheeks, she looks like the Fuwa in the New Year pictures.
This is the kind of look that older people like most.
When the old marquis heard Yu Youning's words, he looked at her curiously, "Little girl, you said you saved me? Who are you?"
"I'm Yu Youning! It was Zhai Heming who asked me to save you!"
"Then how did you save me?"
He knew his physical condition well, and the imperial doctors were helpless, so he could only endure the days.
Why is it suddenly fine now?
How did this little girl in front of me do it?
Yu Youning covered her mouth and whispered, "I can't tell you! Master said I can't tell anyone! This is a little secret between Master and me!"
The master said that her blood can not only cure all poisons, but also bring people back to life.
Just one drop is enough to save a person who is on the verge of death.
If others knew how powerful she was, they would capture her and cut her body with a knife until she bled.
Just think about it and you will know how painful it is!
So, no one can say it!
Looking at Yu Youning like this, the old marquis was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, his laughter was extremely hearty.
"Okay! Since this is a secret between you and your master, I won't ask. However, you saved me, so I must repay you. What do you want?"
"Your son has already given it to me! He said he would give me two thousand taels of gold!"
The old marquis's face instantly turned stern and he looked displeased.
"Asshole! In his eyes, is my life only worth two thousand taels of gold? No! Listen to me! I must give you ten thousand taels of gold!"
Yu Youning opened her mouth into an O and stared at the old marquis for a long time before asking seriously, "Does your words work?"
The old marquis's eyes widened instantly, "Of course it works! Come on, I'll take you to find that bastard!"
He pulled the quilt aside with force, and without even having time to put on his shoes, he took Yu Youning's hand and walked out.
Outside, Marquis Chengyi was waiting anxiously.
Shen Qingmo half-lowered his eyes, and the thoughts in his eyes were extremely complicated.
As time passed by little by little, there was still no movement in the room. Shen Qingmo finally couldn't help but speak.
"My Lord, it's been so long, and Youning hasn't made any movement yet. Why don't we go in and take a look?"
Cheng Yihou glared at Shen Qingmo, "Why are you going? What if I disturb the little genius doctor?"
Just as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of the door opening.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the old marquis walking out holding Yu Youning's hand.
Cheng Yihou's eyes widened, tears welling up in his eyes, and he hurried over, "Father! Are you okay?"
His father had been in poor health before this serious illness.
If he wants to walk, he has to use a cane and have someone carefully support him.
But now, his father's back was straight, his head was held high, his cheeks were rosy, and he looked like he was ten years younger!
Marquis Chengyi was so excited when he was slapped by the old marquis.
"You bastard! Youning saved my life! And you only gave her two thousand taels of gold! Is my life worth only this much in your eyes? Go! Prepare ten thousand taels of gold right now! From now on, Youning will be an honored guest in our Chengyi Marquis Mansion! No one can neglect her!"
Even Marquis Chengyi was stunned.
How many years has it been!
It has been so many years since his father gave him a loving slap!
This is such a long-lost feeling of intimacy!
Even though he was beaten in front of many outsiders, Marquis Chengyi did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he laughed even more happily.
"Don't worry, father! I'll have someone prepare the gold right away! From now on, Youning's status in our house will be the same as Ming'er's! Whatever Ming has, I'll prepare a portion for Youning, too!"
The old marquis then smiled with satisfaction, "That's pretty good!"
Chengyi Hou handed the matter of preparing the gold to the housekeeper, and then looked at Shen Qingmo, "Sir Shen, my father is already well, so let's go to Yong'an Hou Mansion together!"
"What are you doing at the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion at this time?" the old marquis asked curiously.
"Father, you don't know that you've just been poisoned. The poison is in the purse hanging around Ming'er's waist. This purse was given to you this morning by Lin Ruoli, the granddaughter of Marquis Yong'an and the daughter of Lord Shen!"
The old marquis's face turned cold in an instant, and he looked at Shen Qingmo with a pair of sharp eyes.
When Marquis Chengyi was young, he led troops to fight many times and gained his merits bit by bit.
Although he is older now, his aura is still there.
At this moment, he looked at Shen Qingmo with full aura, and immediately scared Shen Qingmo so much that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Chen Qingmo quickly bowed, "Old Marquis, this matter... I'm afraid there might be some misunderstanding at this time. Li'er and the prince were classmates and have always had a close relationship. How could she have poisoned the old marquis? Perhaps someone took advantage of the opportunity."
