Chapter 462 I Can't Help It
"Sister Cui." As soon as Xiao Jiuyue opened her mouth, Cui Yao quickly turned her back and said, "Thank you for saving me today. I'll be leaving now."
Cui Yao's hurried voice revealed a strong sense of uneasiness. She turned her back, afraid that her face would scare Xiao Jiuyue.
"You really don't want to get your face fixed?" Xiao Jiuyue said, looking at her back. Seeing her stop, she continued, "If today's incident gets out, everyone will only say that you hid in Qingfeng Temple because your face was rotten, not because you were forced to marry by the Cui family."
Xiao Jiuyue spoke slowly and calmly, "Sister Cui, no matter how beautiful or ugly she is, at least she doesn't want to touch anyone whose face is rotten. If she's been poisoned, then she needs to be detoxified."
"My face is incurable." Cui Yao's tears slid down, staining her festering face, which was even more painful. However, the pain was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain in her heart.
"Sister Cui, my eldest brother has always wanted to come and see you, but he can't disobey the emperor's order. He's currently helping with the farming and autumn harvest in the suburbs of Beijing. After the harvest, he'll have some free time."
Xiao Jiuyue took a step forward and mentioned her eldest brother Xiao Jialing. Cui Yao froze and shook her head repeatedly: "No, don't let him come!"
Cui Yao's voice was visibly panicked. She shook her head desperately, turned around, bowed to Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss Xiao, please don't let him come! I beg you."
She didn't want to see Xiao Jialing in this state. She was not worthy of that handsome man.
"Sister Cui." Xiao Jiuyue stepped forward and supported Cui Yao.
Cui Yao stepped back in fear, covering her face with her hands, leaving only her eyes exposed. Her red eyes were full of pleading.
"Don't worry, I won't tell Big Brother." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Cui Yao's exposed skin and really didn't know how Cui Yao managed to hold on. She said, "But the face still needs treatment."
Cui Yao hesitated.
"Even people like Cui Yu and Cui Yin believe it, but you don't believe me?" Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't tell me I didn't realize that these people were hired by Cui Yu and Cui Yin, one playing the bad cop and the other the bad cop."
"..." Cui Yao was silent, and said, "The doctor said that I was poisoned by the green-waisted worm. There is no cure. I'd better not scare you."
"You haven't even shown me your condition, and you already know how to scare me? Let me tell you, I recently found a very powerful master who can definitely cure you!" Xiao Jiuyue said confidently. She pulled Cui Yao into the meditation room and sat down. Without saying anything, she took Cui Yao's pulse and said, "Come, let me take your pulse."
"Miss Xiao." Cui Yao was like a puppet, letting Xiao Jiuyue take her pulse blankly. She covered her face with one hand, and looked at Xiao Jiuyue curiously with her exposed eyes. She always felt that something was wrong. How come the Xiao Jiuyue who used to be so cold and aloof was now... different!
Perhaps, they also suffered a lot after leaving Shengjing.
"Don't talk." Xiao Jiuyue smiled at her, pretending not to see the confusion and sympathy in her eyes. Anyway, this matter could not be explained clearly, so it would be better to let her misunderstand.
But, she has become like this, and you still sympathize with her?
After more than half a year of study, Xiao Jiuyue has made a lot of progress in taking pulses. She can still diagnose some common diseases by taking pulses.
"Sister Cui, what kind of life have you been living in Qingfeng Temple?" How did you hurt yourself like this?
Deficiency, malnutrition, cold entering the body...
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the thin Cui Yao in front of him. She was completely different from the bright and beautiful Cui Yao in his memory.
"Life in Qingfeng Temple is a little hard, but it is quiet." Cui Yao didn't think it was a big deal. She was weak to begin with, especially last winter when she had a serious illness and almost died.
Fortunately, the nun Jinghui in the nunnery was kind-hearted. She asked a doctor to treat her and added charcoal to her room. Otherwise, she would not be here today.
"Sister Cui, let me see your face." Xiao Jiuyue didn't say anything else, but stared at Cui Yao's face.
Cui Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Xiao, my face is scary, you..."
Xiao Jiuyue continued, "Don't think of me as Xiao Jiuyue, just think of me as a doctor."
Cui Yao put down her hand and looked at Xiao Jiuyue nervously, afraid that she would show fear in her eyes. However, Xiao Jiuyue was very calm, so calm that she almost thought that the pus on her face had disappeared.
Donggui and Huaqing had seen all kinds of scenes before, and stood calmly beside Xiao Jiuyue. Lianxin, the only one who was afraid, was sent outside by Xiao Jiuyue to find out the news.
"It's not bad. It's milder than I thought." Xiao Jiuyue came forward, her clear eyes showing no fear at all. She asked, "Sister Cui, when did your complexion start to deteriorate? Why did it suddenly deteriorate? That green-waisted insect isn't found everywhere."
"You, don't you feel scared, ugly, or disgusted?" Cui Yao had just listened to the words of the Cui Yu sisters and the words of those who accidentally broke in. Xiao Jiuyue's reaction now surprised Cui Yao.
"Sister Cui, I'm a doctor. Your face looks like this because you've been poisoned." Xiao Jiuyue looked at her cleanly washed body and said, "Compared to the ugliness of the appearance, the ugliness and viciousness of the heart are even more disgusting."
"You and your elder brother are so alike." Cui Yao was a little dazed. She remembered that once her face was stung by a bee and it became swollen like a bun. At that time, she was embarrassed to see people. Xiao Jialing also said the same thing.
"Of course, we are siblings from the same mother." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled and looked at Cui Yao's dim eyes. He immediately thought of Cui Yao and Cui Yu. They were both sisters, but Mrs. Cui always favored Cui Yu.
Just like the people Cui Yu and Cui Yao were going to marry three years ago, they were completely different. If it weren't for the sudden death of Old Madam Cui, Cui Yu would have been married by now.
"Cook this medicine and take three doses a day." Xiao Jiuyue took out the prescription directly.
"This, can this really be cured?" Cui Yao still feels confused until now. Is this what all the ups and downs are like?
The old doctor seemed to be very skilled in medicine just now. He shook his head and sighed and said that her face could not be cured. But when it came to Xiao Jiuyue, it was just like an ordinary typhoid fever?
"Donggui, get the medicine." Xiao Jiuyue took out another prescription and said, "Sister Cui, this herbal remedy is for washing your face. Finally, apply this green plaster on your face for five days. It should be effective."
Cui Yao didn't say a word. Xiao Jiuyue looked up in confusion and saw Cui Yao's tears like pearls falling from a string. She said, "Sister Cui, don't cry. Tears will make your face hurt more."
"I, I can't help it." Cui Yao cried even harder after being comforted by her. Xiao Jiuyue had no choice but to use a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
