Chapter 499 She Loves Huo Xingzhou So Much
Qiao Xi took it with both hands.
The pages of the book "Nine Needles of Plum Blossom" had been opened, and what was taken out was a very thin and light silk cloth with densely packed small characters on it that were very blurry.
Master Fang's eyes were red from staying up late, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, this must be what you are looking for."
Master Fang has been immersed in cultural relics throughout his life and has some understanding of the important value of "Lingshu Jiuzhen".
This can be considered a treasure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
But I didn't expect it to be hidden in an ordinary yellowed medical book.
Qiao Xi's fingers trembled slightly and she didn't dare to use force.
Master Fang was very considerate. He took out a new medical book and placed it in front of her. "Miss, this is the Lingshu Nine Needles that I copied down after researching. I guarantee there won't be a single mistake or omission. If you're concerned, you can take some time to check it again."
He even brought a magnifying glass.
"Thank you, Master Fang."
Qiao Xi looked at him and thanked him sincerely, "You've achieved this in such a short time. You must have worked day and night without sleep. Go back and have a good rest for a few days. We can discuss other matters later."
"Hey! I'm really happy to be able to help you. It can be considered as my repayment for the Liu family's kindness. You don't know how many people benefited from Old Madam Liu during that turbulent era. If it weren't for her strong guarantee, we old bones would have collapsed long ago."
Master Fang's eyes were filled with tears.
Qiao Xi knew the era that Master Fang was talking about, and also understood the hardships faced by craftsmen in the past.
"Master Fang, everyone's life is getting better now. It will get even better in the future. You can enjoy happiness for decades to come."
Qiao Xi respects these craftsmen who inherit intangible cultural heritage very much, as there are many cultural relics that still need them to save.
Master Fang nodded with a sob.
No matter how old he is or how much he has experienced, the old man's childlike heart has not been erased.
"Master Fang, go back and eat something and have a good rest. Don't think about anything else. When you come to the imperial capital, you can go out to visit museums and meet old friends. I'll let these bodyguards follow you."
"Thank you, Miss."
Master Fang nodded, turned and left the villa.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath, and felt her heart burning as she held those things in her hands.
This is "Lingshu Nine Needles"!
Sun Weimeng squeezed over excitedly: "Is this the treasure? It looks ordinary, nothing special."
Qiao Xi caressed the piece of silk covered with small words with care: "Yes, this is my treasure."
This is a treasure that many Chinese medicine practitioners dream of, and they feel honored even to have just one look at it.
"I'll go upstairs first!"
Qiao Xi couldn't wait to look through the medical book copied by Master Fang. She wanted to proofread it.
After all, when it comes to medical skills, she is more skilled than Master Fang. Laymen can easily make mistakes with certain professional terms or punctuation.
She hurried upstairs, probably going to study until dark again.
Huo Xingzhou withdrew his gaze from her back and warned in a deep voice, "Old Chen, this news must not be leaked. Tell everyone to keep their mouths shut, otherwise they will bear the consequences."
"Okay, Master. I'll go to Master Fang later and tell everyone to keep their mouths shut."
Lao Chen knew the seriousness of the matter.
This matter cannot be leaked.
It must not be known by the Lu family.
Perhaps, this book "Lingshu Jiuzhen" is related to the disappearance of Mr. Cheng Han!
Huo Xingzhou looked at the eager Sun Weimeng and ordered, "Keep an eye on Lu Yan when you have nothing else to do. He has a strong desire for revenge and will never let it go even if a leg is broken. He might find a chance to attack Qiao Xi before the needle trial meeting and prevent her from participating."
"yes!"
Sun Weimeng was very positive. "I'll bring bodyguards to keep an eye on that jerk every day, so he won't have a chance to attack. Besides, Qiao Xi won't be going out during this period, so it's safe enough."
He also wanted to go to the hospital to provoke Lu Yan.
He's so disgusting!
Xu Yunye, who was sitting nearby, took the initiative to say, "I'll leave tomorrow and won't let any news leak out. I'll manage the Qian family's medicinal herb factory well. One day, I'll control all sources of medicinal herbs, so Qiao Xi won't have to worry about anything."
"Well, do what you can."
A gathering of great forces.
The situation in the imperial capital is turbulent and unpredictable.
The Xiang family's stock price finally rebounded after hitting rock bottom. Xiang Hai was finally discharged from the hospital, and the Lu family's ambitions were high, determined to control the future of traditional Chinese medicine.
…
The night is deep.
In the master bedroom.
Qiao Xi rubbed her sore eyes and finally put down the newly-made Lingshu Nine Needles. She compared and modified the original version copied by Master Fang and rewrote a new version.
The words on the silk are smaller than rice grains. I really don’t know how the ancients wrote them.
She used a magnifying glass to carefully look at each word, fearing that she would miss any mistake.
At this moment, her almond-shaped eyes were red.
She stood up and walked to the small independent terrace outside the bedroom, stretching lazily. She heard footsteps behind her, and before she could turn around, she was tightly embraced by the man in his arms. His scent filled her nostrils.
He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, "Tired?"
Qiao Xi turned around and nodded: "I'm very tired, my waist can hardly stand up straight."
"Give me a rub."
His palm rested on her waist with just the right amount of force, slowly relaxing the muscles on her waist.
Qiao Xi looked at him, her eyes filled with smiles: "Why did you hand over the medicinal materials factory business to Xu Yunye?"
Huo Xingzhou didn't deny it: "If he was always around you, there would be no place for me. He's guarding against me like he's a wolf."
Qiao Xi hugged his muscular waist and said, "The Huo Xingzhou I know doesn't act on emotion. You must have your own ideas."
Huo Xingzhou lowered his head and touched the corner of her lips with his thin lips: "The little doctor is really smart. You have to believe in Xu Yunye's determination. He doesn't know anything, but he can learn everything for you."
The smile on Qiao Xi's face faded a little, "It's still for me..."
"It's also for his own sake. It's better than him playing racing every day and trying to kill himself."
Qiao Xi nestled in his arms and said softly, "You're right."
She slowly closed her eyes, leaned her body against Huo Xingzhou, and felt very satisfied when she smelled the cool and light fragrance on his body.
Bathed in the night and moonlight, she fell into a comfortable and lazily sleep amidst the man's kiss and the affectionate and lingering voice.
Quiet and warm.
The Li family’s old house not far away.
On the second floor terrace.
Li Nianqi slammed the high-definition telescope to the ground and cursed, "Fox spirit! Bitch! All you know is to seduce men!"
This was the telescope she had asked her father, Xiao Jinsheng, to bring in. It could see even a bird clearly within a kilometer. She used this telescope to see every move of the Huo family.
Like a female pervert peeping into someone's privacy.
She watched Huo Xingzhou's actions day and night to relieve her longing for him.
She even imagined that the woman in his arms was herself, and she became more and more crazy and deeply trapped.
She loves Huo Xingzhou so much!
Li Nianqi angrily took out her phone and made a call, saying, "I agree to your proposal! I will provide you with clues, but you also have to promise me that Qiao Xi will not live to see the New Year!"
Only when she dies can other women take the throne!
In this imperial capital, there are many people who hate Qiao Xi more than she does!
…
Three days later.
The Imperial Capital Traditional Chinese Medicine Festival and the needle trial competition are about to begin!
