Chapter 507 Completed
Jiang Yao was also aroused by her appearance and felt a hidden pain in her heart. She was not good at persuading others. At this moment, her eyes seemed to be looking at Hu Xiner, and also seemed to be looking at herself who made the decision back then.
Just then, the door of the room was pushed open.
Taoist Master Yiqing, holding a lantern in his hand, looked at them in surprise, then looked at Jiang Yao questioningly, "Did you tell her everything?"
Jiang Yao came back to her senses, her face strangely dejected. "No, she guessed it herself."
Taoist Yiqing wanted to say something but stopped himself, the hem of his Taoist robe was pulled. Hu Xiner looked at him palely, with an extremely anxious expression, but she was too anxious to speak.
The Taoist priest checked her pulse and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't let you go in to watch, otherwise I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to save the child."
"The Jade Dew Pills that Yin Li gave me last time were pretty good. How about you make a few bottles for her?" Jiang Yao said with a frown.
It was really hard for her to feel at ease with Hu Xiner like this. Of course, she told herself that she was only worried about the baby in Hu Xiner's belly.
The Taoist priest responded, "Okay, I'll go see if there's a similar prescription, but it might not be as effective as the Jade Dew Pills."
He placed the lamp on the ground, then helped Hu Xin'er up and said soothingly, "Don't worry, they are both fine."
Hu Xiner took a few anxious breaths, and then she felt that the huge stone pressing on her heart was suddenly removed.
"That's good! How are they now? I want to go in!" She wiped her face in embarrassment, only to feel her hands full of cold tears.
Taoist Master Yiqing nodded gently: "The effect of the Ma Fei San hasn't worn off yet, so they are still unconscious. Let's go in now."
The three of them entered the inner room together. The Taoist priest had used his internal energy and a table to transform it into a simple table. Hu Xiner took a closer look and found that it was a table similar to an operating table.
Her guess turned out to be correct. The so-called face-changing surgery was actually plastic surgery. She just didn't know what methods the Taoist priest used to make their faces so seamless.
The two people lying on the wooden platform were of the same size, except that their faces were wrapped in bandages, revealing only a pair of tightly closed eyes, noses and mouths.
It seems that the parts of the face that were replaced are other than these three organs.
If other people saw this change of appearance, they would probably think it was against heaven, call them monsters, and even want to burn them to death.
But Hu Xin'er was not afraid at all. She rushed to the side of the stage and knew who her husband was at a glance.
She held Mu Qing's hand tightly. Although she knew that he was unable to move because of the effect of Ma Fei San, she couldn't help but shed tears. Sadness, grievance, relief... these emotions filled her heart and eventually turned into joy as if she had survived a disaster.
From now on, Mu Qing's life finally became less gloomy and more bright.
She swore that no matter what happened in the future, she would never abandon Mu Qing.
Tears dripped onto Mu Qing's hand, and his fingers moved imperceptibly.
During dinner, Mother Lu also woke up. She looked around the new yard and couldn't help but smile with some satisfaction: "My daughter-in-law is really capable!"
Hu Xiner's eyes were still red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse, so she just lowered her head and smiled without answering.
Mother Lu looked around: "Where are Juer and the others? Why haven't they come over?"
"They're still busy." Jiang Yao said casually, "Sister, let's eat first."
"What are you busy with?" Mother Lu was a little confused.
Jiang Yao responded vaguely. Mother Lu looked around and noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Her expression gradually darkened.
How could she, who is so smart, not notice that everyone's expressions were strange?
Under her questioning, everyone had to admit that the face-changing surgery had been performed.
Unexpectedly, after she said this, Mother Lu actually breathed a sigh of relief: "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? I thought it was the prince's men who were chasing us!"
Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, everyone felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, after dinner, Lu's mother went to visit Mu Qing and others. After seeing her sons wrapped in bandages, she fainted on the spot!
Jiang Yao quickly supported her: "Sister!"
She looked at the Taoist priest in panic: "Yiqing, come and take a look, what happened to my sister?"
Taoist Master Yiqing had not expected such a sudden change to happen, and hurriedly took Mother Lu's pulse.
Then he sighed deeply: "This pulse is still the same as before, it is caused by excessive worry and fear."
"Why is there no improvement after taking the medicine for such a long time? Is the prescription given by Doctor Dou wrong?" Jiang Yao said this anxiously. She just wanted to rush back to the capital immediately to force old man Dou to write another prescription.
Taoist Master Yiqing shook his head, his brows knitted into a knot. "The medicine should be correct, but the toxins in the young lady's body have accumulated over time and are difficult to dispel. I'm afraid that every time she's frightened, the poison will penetrate deeper into her body."
"How could this be?!" Jiang Yao pressed, "Then how can we completely remove this poison?"
Taoist Master Yiqing wasn't a true doctor after all. He smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know that? Judging from her current condition, only long-term care can slowly remove the toxins from her body."
"Is there no faster way? This means that my sister will have to suffer from this poison for a long time in the future?" Jiang Yao asked several questions in succession.
Taoist Master Yiqing couldn't answer at all and just looked at her helplessly.
Hu Xin'er was also stunned: "Doesn't that mean that Mom can only maintain this half-asleep, half-wakeful state for a period of time?"
In fact, after just such a period of time, she could clearly feel that her mother had become even more silent than before.
In the past, Mother Lu could still pull him in to talk about her family background in the capital, which was considered to be helping her to break into the circle in the capital.
But now, she had left the capital, a place that was familiar and full of pain, and could only spend every day in sleep. When she talked to them, she often couldn't get a word in.
A lot of things happened every day, but she had no idea what they were. She could only look at them blankly.
Jiang Yao helped Lu's mother onto the bed and suddenly said bitterly, "I don't know which bastard poisoned my sister. Now, let alone removing the poison, we're even having to scramble herbs to treat her!"
Hu Xin'er was also feeling a little heavy-hearted: "Don't worry, Auntie, we can always find those herbs. We can make a lot of money on the way to buy herbs."
"That's all you're useful for." Jiang Yao suddenly stood up and walked out, speaking rapidly.
The Taoist priest held her back and asked, "What are you going to do?"
