Chapter 556 Detoxification
As soon as the old butler spoke, everyone around him perked up and couldn't help but look at Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuanzhi leaned back slightly to catch her breath, then covered the old man with the blanket, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and couldn't help but grin: "It's nothing, everyone. Take a rest and we'll prepare to detoxify Arong in a quarter of an hour."
The old butler stared blankly at Jiang Nuanzhi before him, "Young Master, can your body still hold up...?"
He had watched her administer acupuncture with his own eyes. She hadn't even taken a breath for an hour. Even someone as skilled as him would have to slow down. He was truly worried that the young master, such a young woman, wouldn't be able to hold on.
Jiang Nuanzhi waved her hand: "It's alright. I'm full of energy right now."
As she spoke, Jiang Nuanzhi fanned her face with her hand. It was so hot that her face was flushed, and she thought to herself that it was because she had eaten something very nourishing.
The old steward was still worried. The young master was still a young man, and young men are prone to being stubborn.
"Young Master, would you like them to help you by relieving your meridians?"
"No need!" Jiang Nuanzhi waved her hand: "I'll take a nap first, and we'll start in fifteen minutes."
Before she could finish speaking, her head lolled to the side, and she slumped into the chair, breathing evenly, and fell asleep.
The crowd looked at each other, momentarily stunned.
Lin Chun had already witnessed Jiang Nuanzhi's ability to fall asleep instantly, so she reacted the fastest, finding an outer garment to drape over her, and then went to prepare things to detoxify the general.
A quarter of an hour was actually not long. Lin Chun had prepared the things and was hesitating whether to call Jiang Nuanzhi when she saw Jiang Nuanzhi open her eyes instantly.
She stretched and said, "Get ready, let's begin."
He got up and went to Li Rong. Without saying a word, he tore open the front of Li Rong's clothes, revealing his strong chest.
Under the bright candlelight, he was covered in fine beads of sweat, probably because he had taken medicine. It looked as if he was coated with a layer of light. His muscles were tense, his fists were clenched, and his lips, which were of moderate thickness, were tightly pursed. As Jiang Nuanzhi looked at him, she couldn't help but feel a tightness in her throat.
Damn it, this isn't the time to think about these things.
It was clear that Li Rong was showing signs of waking up.
Jiang Nuanzhi directly used a sleeping potion to make him fall into a deep sleep.
Having learned from the old man's experience, they were already familiar with the method for treating Li Rong. At this moment, the effects of the pills were more stable, and Li Rong's health was much better than before. Jiang Nuanzhi then asked the old housekeeper to take out the remaining half of the handkerchief and use it to draw out the Gu again.
This time, it was Dongzang and Linchun, General Wan, and two guardians who assisted them.
In fact, with the help of these experts, Jiang Nuanzhi found it much easier to perform acupuncture.
For example, previously she had to walk along the meridians for three cycles to force out some of the toxins; now she only needs to walk one cycle, and with the help of their internal energy, she can force out the toxins.
Moreover, these martial arts practitioners were clearly very familiar with the meridians, and with the guidance of the diagrams drawn by Jiang Nuanzhi, everyone knew what they had to do. With each person performing their duties, although the amount of toxins was relatively large, it was not really that difficult.
Because Li Rong was in better physical condition and had smoother meridians, he was even faster than the old man.
In less than an hour, the toxins had been almost completely eliminated.
Even so, by the end, the sky was already faintly turning pale, and everyone was in a daze as a night passed by.
Looking at the Grand Preceptor and the General before them, whose complexions had returned to normal and whose lips were no longer dark purple, everyone was momentarily dazed.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "It's done! The poison is cured!"
"That's great, that's great!"
Then, cheers erupted, and the roof of the house was almost blown off.
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but grin.
Even though I've been busy all night and my wrists are almost not my own anymore, I still can't help but want to laugh.
Facing two close people every day, yet unable to cure them, Jiang Nuanzhi felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart. Finally, today she succeeded.
Suddenly, my nose started to feel sore.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she met Chi Heng's eyes. He was even more exaggerated than her, with his red eyes filled with tears. This Duke was crying and laughing like a child, his lips trembling.
Jiang Nuanzhi paused for a moment, then nodded silently at him.
Chi Heng wiped away her tears with her sleeve and nodded repeatedly to Jiang Nuanzhi in response.
"Alright, alright, everyone hurry up and get some sleep." Jiang Nuanzhi rubbed her eyes as well. "Once Arong and the old man wake up, we'll have a proper feast to celebrate."
Upon hearing this, cheers erupted once again from the surrounding area.
Before long, Lin Chun sent everyone out to rest.
Then he directly helped Jiang Nuanzhi take off her shoes: "Madam, please take a nap. You can probably rest for another half an hour. If we hurry on our way, we won't be late."
Jiang Nuanzhi was also quite exhausted. After hearing this, she said, "Even if we go to the palace an hour later today, I'll sleep a little longer. You should also take a rest."
Lin Chun was taken aback, but didn't say anything. She just nodded, poured a teacup for Jiang Nuanzhi, placed it by the bedside, and then pulled down the curtain and went out.
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't stand on ceremony and fell down next to Li Rong, resting her head on his strong arm. Her hand couldn't help but wander down his clothes.
It doesn't make sense. I haven't developed abs after all this time, while Li Rong has been sick for so long, suffering from poisoning and worry, yet his abs are still rock hard.
“Ah Nuan.”
Just as her hand was playing around with his stomach, she suddenly heard those two hoarse words, which startled Jiang Nuanzhi so much that she immediately withdrew her hand.
She kept glancing up at him.
Li Rong remained unconscious, his eyes closed, but his large, burning hot hand held hers tightly for a long time without letting go.
Jiang Nuanzhi tried to break free, but he didn't let go for a long time. He even held her hand to his heart, and suddenly tightened his arms, holding her even tighter.
"Hey, let go of me, you're too hot."
Jiang Nuanzhi tried to push the person away, but not only did she fail, she ended up sweating profusely.
"Ah Nuan, be good."
Her hand was grasped again, and a hoarse voice sounded above her head. Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes, took several breaths, and finally gave up, letting his arm, which was as strong as steel, encircle her waist and back. She found a comfortable position and closed her eyes.
"Come on, without him, who will treat me like a child?"
Although this man was always held back by various things, Jiang Nuanzhi had long coveted his alluring body. In the end, she couldn't resist pinching his stomach again: "It's alright now that you're sick, but once you're better, if you don't have a three-day, three-night battle with me, I'll be at a huge loss."
As he said this, he kept licking his lips and chuckled, "It feels so good."
He's more captivating when he's asleep; he won't let you touch him when he's awake!
"Mother, please don't fight with Father, okay?"
A crisp sound came from behind her. Jiang Nuanzhi, who was almost asleep in Li Rong's arms, suddenly widened her eyes when she heard the sound.
She swallowed hard, then stiffly and slowly turned her head away.
