Under Mingyou's gentle coaxing, Jiang Jingyu's emotions finally stabilized.
He grabbed Jiang Jingyu's wrinkled hands tightly and twisted her body around.
When she was halfway through twisting, Jiang Jingyu broke free from Mingyou's hand and covered her face tightly: "Don't look!"
Ming You clasped her shoulders with one hand and said, "Master, be obedient and take your hands off. I will take care of everything else. Once the poison in your body is removed, you will be able to return to your original appearance."
In order to appease Jiang Jingyu's emotions, Mingyou said less today than he did in the past twenty years.
Ming You slowly pulled down Jiang Jingyu's hands that were covering her face, and in an instant, Jiang Jingyu's face with loose skin and wrinkles gradually came into his sight.
Even until her entire face was exposed in front of Mingyou, Mingyou's expression did not change at all.
Jiang Jingyu looked at Mingyou and asked in a muffled voice, "Am I really ugly now?"
Ming You shook his head seriously: "Not ugly, not ugly at all."
As he spoke, he bent down to take off his shoes and boots, then came to the couch and sat facing Jiang Jingyu.
"Master, I will detoxify you right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mingyou raised his hand and reached out to Jiang Jingyu. Just when Jiang Jingyu thought he was going to touch her face and wanted to avoid him, Mingyou's hand reached behind her ear.
"What are you going to do?"
After realizing that his body was suddenly unable to move, Jiang Jingyu looked at Mingyou with vigilance.
Mingyou withdrew his hand from acupuncture on Jiang Jingyu and pulled up her hands under her gaze.
"It will take one stick of incense to remove the poison from the master's body. After one stick of incense, the master will be able to return to his original appearance and will no longer have to endure the pain caused by the poison."
Mingyou explained to Jiang Jingyu, and then raised his hand and pressed her mute point under Jiang Jingyu's gaze.
Jiang Jingyu's pupils suddenly shrank, and she immediately had a bad premonition in her heart. She stared at Mingyou with wide eyes, her eyes full of the intention to stop him.
Ming You pulled up Jiang Jingyu's hands and stretched them to his chest, placing them against his palms. Before detoxifying Jiang Jingyu, he slowly raised his hands to touch her face, and a hint of undisguised tenderness appeared in his eyes when he looked at her.
Jiang Jingyu's brows were furrowed, she wanted to move but couldn't, wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound, she could only use her eyes to stop him.
This is the only way to remove the toxins from her body. Mingyou will give it a try even if it costs her life.
Ming You pulled the corner of his mouth, withdrew his hand that was stroking Jiang Jingyu's cheek, and pressed his hands tightly against her palms. Before using his internal force to remove the poison from her, he looked at her deeply, and then closed his eyes.
As Mingyou closed her eyes, Jiang Jingyu clearly felt a warm current flowing through her body from her palm.
Jiang Jingyu couldn't move or speak now. The only thing she could use was her eyes, but Mingyou had her eyes closed. Even if she opened her eyes, Mingyou couldn't see.
The imperial study was silent and quiet. Nanny Xiang was waiting anxiously in the outer hall. The guards at the door were still kneeling on the ground.
As time passed, a layer of fine beads of sweat covered the foreheads of Mingyou and Jiang Jingyu. Mingyou's lips were cracked and his face gradually turned pale.
Half an incense stick later, the wrinkles on Jiang Jingyu's hands gradually faded away and returned to their original appearance. The white hair on his head slowly turned black from the top of his head, while Mingyou's hair opposite him started to turn white from the top of his head.
Jiang Jingyu's vision was blurred by tears, which fell down pia pia pia, and the veins on her forehead bulged, but she could not break free from the acupoints pressed by Mingyou.
A stick of incense may pass in a flash for others, but for Jiang Jingyu it was like three autumns. Looking at Mingyou's gray hair, her heart ached even when she was breathing. The pain was a hundred times, a thousand times more than when the poison took effect!
As the last bit of incense ash fell, the last strand of Mingyou's hair turned white.
The acupuncture points on Jiang Jingyu's body were unblocked, and Mingyou's body fell backwards.
"Mingyou, Mingyou!"
Jiang Jingyu hugged Mingyou's neck and let him lean on her arms, looking at him with red eyes.
"Mingyou, Mingyou, wake up. Open your eyes and look at me. Look at me! Can you please look at me?"
Jiang Jingyu hugged Mingyou tightly, put his face against his forehead, looked at Mingyou who fell in his arms with a panic expression, and begged loudly.
Just when Jiang Jingyu was crying out of breath, Mingyou opened his eyes.
"Master, don't cry."
"How could you be so stupid? How could you be so stupid? I don't want you to detoxify me. I want you to live. I only want you to live!"
"Someone come, imperial physician, quickly call the imperial physician!"
Jiang Jingyu roared angrily towards the outside of the hall, then looked down at Mingyou in her arms and stroked his face.
"Mingyou, hold on a little longer. The doctor will be here soon. Look at me and talk to me. I won't let anything happen to you. You will definitely be fine. Please, please don't leave me."
Jiang Jingyu was trembling all over because of fear. She stroked Mingyou's face and repeated the words in her mouth over and over again, tears rolling down Mingyou's face.
Mingyou raised his hand to wipe Jiang Jingyu's tears and pulled the corners of his mouth weakly.
"I am not afraid of death, I am only afraid that no one will protect me after I die."
