Chapter 41: Seeking Medical Treatment in Desperation
Bang——
Qin Xiangnuan carried a shovel and buried the last handful of soil next to Ma Han's head. She was particularly considerate and patted it twice to compact the loose soil. Seeing that the faces of several people gradually turned ashen and purple, and even a little unable to breathe, she clapped her hands and threw the tools into the grass beside her. Even if she didn't block their mouths at this moment, Ma Han probably didn't have the strength to shout for help.
Most of the women in the general's mansion were frightened by her fierce behavior. Only the men looked at Qin Xiangnuan with admiration in their eyes. Several relatives from other branches whispered to each other, "This is General Qin's biological daughter. She is truly a female Rakshasa!"
Qin Xiangnuan didn't want to pay attention to those remarks and was about to leave, but her keen sixth sense made her feel a chill on her back.
It was a prying look. She turned her head sensitively and stared in the direction where she noticed something was wrong.
Two maroon figures flashed by, crouching behind two sturdy locust trees. Their hasty hiding, their intelligence lacking, left a little of their hems and sleeves visible. Qin Xiangnuan recalled the people she'd met at the official post station and suspected they'd sensed something was amiss, so they'd followed in secret to see what was going on. So, Ma Han wasn't destined to die...
Qin Xiangnuan thought of what happened yesterday, lowered her eyes, took out the silver needle from her bosom, and stabbed Ma Han's acupuncture points several times.
"What did you do to me again! Qin Xiangnuan, you bitch, you want to humiliate me!"
Ma Han roared, but after only two words, he was too tired to move, and could only breathe heavily. He stuck out his tongue, his eyes almost popping out, looking like a stray dog begging on the street. It made sense, he was just a lapdog working hard for Gu Mingqi. Qin Xiangnuan thought, withdrew the silver needle, and said with a smile, "Maybe you're lucky. I guess you can still see Gu Mingqi. I want you to give him a message."
"Things change, and what he did back then wasn't completely in vain. The evidence and evidence he left behind aren't unknown to anyone. When the General's Mansion was raided, even though it looked like we took nothing, he should have known the saying that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. If he wanted to harm the General's Mansion, he could have sent ten or twenty more people, but if he keeps going like this, there's no guarantee that rumors will eventually reach Your Majesty's ears."
Qin Xiangnuan spoke slowly, trying to make Ma Han remember every word she said and engrave it in his heart.
"The poison will take effect in seven days. You should hurry back to the capital and ask Gu Mingqi if he's willing to save you." Qin Xiangnuan clapped her hands, signaling everyone to set off again. Before leaving, she stood still and said to the two shivering officials behind her, "Be careful when digging. I've buried the soil very firmly. If you break an arm or a leg, it's none of my business!"
After Qin Xiangnuan finished speaking, she laughed twice, not caring what would happen next.
After waiting for about half an incense stick of time for the general's group to leave, with no one in sight, the waiter from the official post station timidly ran out. Ma Han was already exhausted, his eyes sparkling with stars, and he was about to faint. In his hazy state, he thought the two people stumbling towards him were the Black and White Impermanence coming to take his life. "Please spare me, spare me..."
"Sir! It's us..."
Seeing that he was unconscious, the waiter hurriedly took out the water bottle from his waist and gave them some water.
Ma Han regained some consciousness, baring his teeth and assuming his authority. "Hurry up and dig it out for me! Ouch! Gently! Are you blind? You're poking my arm! My flesh... Damn it! Slow down!" Under Ma Han's verbal insults, the waiter at the post station also showed some reluctance and became rather rough. By the time Ma Han was dragged out, his body was covered in bruises and scratches.
"Quickly find me a carriage. I need to return to the capital to report to the Seventh Prince!"
"I want the Seventh Prince to kill everyone in the General's Mansion! Kill them all! Not a single life will be spared!"
Ma Han waved his arms and shouted twice, then he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Everything went dark before his eyes, and he knew nothing.
When he woke up again, he was already in a shaking carriage, surrounded by his brothers.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The officer questioned nervously. Ma Han sat up weakly. The carriage jolted, and he opened his eyes for only a moment before his stomach churned, bitterness threatening to bubble up. He covered his mouth and lay outside the carriage, retching several times, barely stopping when he was nearly vomiting bile. In his daze, he recalled Qin Xiangnuan's words, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. "I've never heard before that the Third Miss of the Qin family is so capable!"
"What on earth did she do to me?"
The same question also came to Qin Feng's mind. He looked at the replenished supplies with great satisfaction, thinking that the road ahead would definitely be more comfortable than the past few days. However, he couldn't help but be curious and ran to Qin Xiangnuan to ask, "Little sister, what does your Zamahan degree cover? Will it cause him to suffer from serious illness in the future?"
"It's just a few needles. I'm not the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. How is that possible?"
Qin Xiangnuan admired Qin Feng's curiosity, but answered him patiently, "As long as Ma Han doesn't get angry, doesn't get upset, and lives a peaceful life, those few needles won't have any effect on him. But if he gets angry in the next few days, or if his emotions fluctuate drastically, then maybe... his mouth and eyes will become crooked, he'll get dizzy, he'll get paralyzed, or he'll be possessed by evil spirits. He'll need to be glued to his bed for the rest of his life and can't move."
"ah?"
Qin Feng shivered with fear, feeling as if his limbs were somewhat out of control. With a look of humility in his eyes, he said, "Little sister, can you teach me a little bit of this kind of kung fu? I want to learn it too!"
"Just follow Daddy and learn the martial arts of a trained family. It's better not to get involved in these secret techniques of traditional Chinese medicine."
Qin Xiangnuan wasn't hiding anything, but Qin Feng was a straightforward and upright person. Even if she taught him, he probably wouldn't use it when the time came, and it would only increase his burden. It would be better for him to keep his current character.
Qin Feng pouted and scratched his head foolishly. His reluctance was fleeting, and he quickly returned to normal. He optimistically wiped the precious dagger in his arms and said, "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have used Ma Han's blood to sharpen my precious dagger today!"
"Don't let me see him again next time! Otherwise I will definitely cut off his lower body!"
Qin Feng said this harshly, and Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help laughing when she heard it.
"As if you're afraid someone will say you're not a member of the Qin family..."
