The supervisor always liked cleanliness, so the people from the Eastern Depot overturned all the bedding on his bed before putting him down.
While pretending to be the fearful and trembling typical of ordinary women, Xia Yixin observed the group of people.
Just looking at her gives me a headache.
They were actually from the Eastern Depot!
Speak of the devil and he appears.
They were all wearing masks, and the one whose face was partially covered by a black and gold beast-carved mask was none other than Cao Anmin, the supervisor of the Eastern Depot, a ruthless character who could kill people even when he was blind.
Why did this group of people suddenly come to Nanlin's side?
Before Xia Yixin could think further, a knife was already pressed against her throat.
"I'm warning you, you'd better treat our master properly, or I'll kill you with one blow!"
If Xia Yixin still claims to be unskilled in medicine, she will definitely not get away with it. Although Xia Yixin has a lot of poison in her storage ring, it will not be easy for her to escape unscathed tonight under the watchful eyes of these dozen or so people.
She feigned fear as she met his gaze. "My lord," she said, "I've learned some medical skills from my father. Whether I can cure you depends on your condition. Also, there are so many people in the room; I'm a little scared, so..."
Gui Ling and the others frowned upon hearing the man's voice; it was hoarse and unpleasant, as if the voice had been scorched by fire.
However, he was acting out of desperation. He sheathed his knife and, just as Xia Yixin had said, dismissed the other dozen or so people, leaving only two behind in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Xia Yixin was relieved that she had brought her first-aid kit with her to prevent Xia Mingyu from getting hurt, and it came in handy at this moment.
When she took his pulse, she first looked at the unconscious man. He was tall and slender, slightly thinner than the average person. He wore a black and gold mask to cover his face, and the only part of his face that could be seen was his white, beardless chin. His skin was like jade, and his hands were long and strong. Although he was a eunuch, he did not have that effeminate feeling.
Upon taking his pulse, she couldn't help but frown. This person must eat irregularly and work day and night, overdrawing his energy. There were at least a dozen kinds of pills remaining in his body, but they were all drugs that could make people energetic in a short time, but these things generally have side effects.
He's been able to hold on until now because of his internal strength, but if this continues, he'll be gone in five years at most.
So Cao Anmin wasn't the one who unified the four kingdoms?
Moreover, he has old injuries from many years ago, which should have severely damaged his heart and lungs. His eyes may be the result of those injuries, but she could not detect whether it was poison or something else. He was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to make a clear diagnosis. The worst possible outcome could be damage to the optic nerve, corneal abrasion, etc., which would be incurable.
The aphrodisiac he took today was merely the last straw that broke the camel's back.
After checking her pulse for a while, she had an idea. Regardless of whether it was him or not, the key now was to find a way to survive. She didn't think the other party would spare her life after she finished treating him.
She planned to treat them first, and then take the opportunity to knock them out.
Unbeknownst to her, the three people in the room breathed a sigh of relief after she took their pulses.
Actually, they were all holding their breath. Besides being a germaphobe, the Eunuch especially disliked being touched by others. Even when applying medicine, he would specify a few clean-handed people, or he would do it himself. Everyone knew about the incident where a clueless maid tried to get close and was smashed into a pulp by the Eunuch.
I'm probably seriously injured tonight, which is why I was able to let this unfamiliar female doctor touch me.
Gui Ling asked anxiously, "How is our master?"
"He was drugged with aphrodisiacs."
Xia Yixin truthfully told him, "If an ordinary person were to be drugged with this kind of aphrodisiac, at most they would find a woman to relieve their lust, but he... cough, so the aphrodisiac is actually a poison, especially since this aphrodisiac is very domineering and potent, and he also has internal injuries. Now his blood and qi are flowing in reverse, and he is only holding on by his own willpower. Unless he self-destructs his dantian, it will be difficult for him to hold on."
At his level, self-destructing his dantian is practically the same as dying.
Ghost Zero drew his knife again with a whoosh, both anxious and furious.
Even if you kill me, I will still give the same answer.
Xia Yixin said coldly, then changed the subject, "However, I can use silver needles to stimulate his meridians and try to force out the aphrodisiac, but this method only has a 50% chance of success, and no one can disturb me, otherwise, within an hour, he will either go crazy or become crippled."
Xia Yixin deliberately exaggerated the situation to reduce the number of people in the room so she could escape. She wasn't that stupid; if these people from the Eastern Depot let her see them, even if she rescued Cao Anmin, she would be silenced.
Sure enough, she sensed that the leader of the men in black hesitated, and soon after, he ordered the other two to leave.
Xia Yixin took out the silver needles, looked at the person on the bed, and then at Gui Ling. She hesitated and said, "Could you help me take off your master's clothes? Otherwise, I can't perform the acupuncture. Both the top and bottom need to be removed."
Gui Ling looked troubled. "Our adults are cautious by nature. If he weren't unconscious, do you think you could get within three steps of him? No one can touch his clothes."
I was relieved to have just tested his pulse, and Gui Ling didn't dare to risk touching the supervisor's clothes.
Xia Yixin was speechless, still a little scared. "What if he kills me?"
Gui Ling calmly replied, "I'll be on the sidelines, just in case."
"..." Xia Yixin really wanted to kill him with poison right away, but she knew that now was not the right time, and offending such a big shot would not do her any good.
Human skin masks are not easy to make, and she has only been using this look for a short time.
Calmly, Xia Yixin inserted acupuncture needles into him through his clothes. Sure enough, not long after, his face turned from pale to red, and his breathing became heavier. This was a physical reaction caused by Xia Yixin forcibly bringing the toxins out of his dantian.
