Chapter 46 The Demon Exorcist Doesn’t Exorcise Demons (6)
"Let me tell you, in some places, women have a higher status than men. Not only can they lead troops into battle and become kings, but they can also have multiple husbands!"
Shisui started talking and began to "brainwash" Bai, who had not seen much of the world.
Mrs. Bai was stunned when she heard that, and her already round eyes widened even more.
"Really? A girl can become a king?"
"Of course it's true. I'm a girl too, and I'm also a demon hunter, right?"
But after Bai's surprise, she smiled and shook her head slightly: "Those are all evil and heretical. Women have always regarded gentleness as beauty, and female virtue is the most important. Men are the sky, women are the earth. Serving the husband's family and having children are the duties of a woman."
Black line at the time of spike.
Come on, the cold face is put on the hot butt.
But Shi Sui could understand... Bai Shi was indoctrinated with the idea of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and the superiority of men over women every day, and it had become deeply ingrained in her. It would be a miracle if she could change with just a few words.
However, Shisui's efforts in chatting with her were not in vain, and Bai gradually relaxed her vigilance.
After Shi Sui echoed a few words, she began to gossip: "Look, it's just like Princess Wenzhu. She couldn't get married when she was young, and now look how miserable her old age is..."
Um? ? ?
When talking about Princess Wenzhu, Shisui became more energetic.
She asked excitedly, "When did Princess Wenzhu become ill?"
"About six months ago. I actually found it a little strange. She had always been in good spirits and would write and paint in her free time. But after dinner one night, she suddenly fainted without any warning. At first, everyone thought she was just overworked and would be fine after a few days of recuperation. But day by day, she became weaker and weaker, and finally she was bedridden and unable to get up."
Tokiho frowned.
Didn't the city lord and his son cry and complain that Princess Wenzhu cried every day, longing for her husband to return, and became sick with lovesickness?
How come it has become a sudden acute illness now?
Is there any truth coming out of the mouths of those two men? ! !
"That's strange... Even if I change doctors, it won't work?" Tokiho was really gossiping. "Medical affinity is something very mysterious."
"I haven't changed doctors. The same doctor has been treating me for the past six months. Even if someone recommended a famous doctor, the city lord refused to change—" Bai was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly shut her mouth.
Isn't she destroying her own father-in-law's stage...
The two people in the room fell into a mysterious silence.
Later, it was Shihui who took the initiative to change the subject and asked Bai about the need for cloth, needles and thread and other supplies to seal the Nine-Cloud Fox Demon, thus resolving the awkward situation.
The more I look at Princess Wenzhu's illness, the more it seems like a man-made conspiracy...
…
After getting to know Bai by chatting with her, Shi Sui was able to get a rough idea of the layout of the city lord's house and everyone's schedule from her.
After nightfall that day, Shi Sui took advantage of the fact that no one was around and sneaked into the kitchen and dug out the residue of the medicine that was to be boiled for Princess Wenzhu.
A bunch of medicinal herbs that she couldn't understand at all.
Shisui remembered that Haitang, who had taken care of the half-demon princess, had once said that she was a female doctor, so she secretly wrapped the thing in cloth and took it to her for identification...
As soon as Haitang saw the medicinal herbs, she pointed out the problem.
"Qianjinteng, Wusuanguo, Cinnabar, Atractylodes, Sanguisorba officinalis, and Corydalis... these herbs are all used to promote blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis. Giving them to a comatose patient will not only be ineffective, but will actually worsen the condition!"
"I guessed right, Princess Wenzhu's illness was a setup." Shi Sui crossed her arms, "The emotional hurt is fake, she was actually harmed by her own brother."
"But it's strange..." Haitang said after calculating the dosage. "Even though taking this decoction every day won't wake Princess Wenzhu up, she won't die either. What's their purpose in keeping Princess Wenzhu in a coma...?"
"No matter how we speculate now, it's useless. The only truth is known only to Princess Wenzhu herself."
The two adults were having a serious discussion, and the chubby half-demon princess was not idle either.
She stretched out her chubby legs, erected her two red ears, staggered towards Shi Sui, climbed on top of her, and nibbled at her clothes with her newly grown milky white teeth.
It was so adorable that Tokiho couldn't help but get distracted and patted her head.
The little princess sniffed the fragrance on Shi Sui's body and consciously snuggled into her arms.
Shi Sui stroked her nine furry little tails, and the little princess giggled comfortably like a kitten.
Tokiho smiled indulgently, then sighed heavily.
She also wants the mother and daughter to meet each other as soon as possible.
But unfortunately, the magic power that Shihui inherited from the demon hunter was only useful against monsters and could not be used on Princess Wenzhu.
Shi Sui asked Hai Tang, "Can you prescribe a recipe so I can prepare it and secretly feed it to Princess Wen Zhu?"
Haitang shook her head like a rattle. "How could I prescribe medicine without first taking her pulse? Besides, Princess Wenzhu has been bedridden for six months. Even if I prescribe the right medicine, it will take time to recover. It won't work overnight."
"That's true..."
"But if it's acupuncture, that's another matter. Keeping Princess Wenzhu awake for half an hour shouldn't be a problem."
After hearing Haitang's words, hope rekindled in Shisui's heart.
But when I saw her take out a silver box with more than a dozen sharp needles in it, I started to feel uneasy.
Haitang picked out the longest and thickest one and waved it in front of Shisui.
"Let me teach you. Insert the silver needles into the three acupoints of Baihui, Shuigou, and Fengfu in order. It can tonify the Yang and calm the mind, relieve the tension of the Jueyin tendons, regulate the Qi flow, and open the orifices to save lives."
"Ahem... I understand the principle, but, but, but how do you teach?" Shisui even trembled as she spoke.
She roamed the worlds, fearless, except for her indelible fear of tiny needles.
Even the little princess in her arms sensed that something was wrong and jumped away, blinking her eyes.
Haitang took Shihui's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Try it on yourself first. If you don't hit the acupoint, the worst that can happen is a few drops of blood."
In Shisui's eyes, Haitang at this moment is a complete devil!!!
