Chapter 50: Not Having Time to Love Her Well
Although Que Hongjin didn't know what Qiao Su Luo was going to do, he still reached out his hand to her.
Qiao Su Luo felt that Que Hong Jin would feel uncomfortable standing like this with his hands floating in the air, so she said, "Sit down first. Let me take your pulse."
Que Hongjin said gently, "Okay."
As he spoke, he sat down on the bed, and Qiao Su Luo reached out and placed her fingers on his wrist.
The moment they touched, Que Hongjin was reminded of the scene last night.
His body longed for her to be close so much that she just placed a finger on it, and the skin on his wrist trembled slightly.
It reminded him of how charming she was when she hugged him last night.
Que Hongjin's heart trembled, and he felt a ball of fire burning, as if the flames were about to devour him.
Que Hongjin reached out and hugged her uncontrollably, holding her in his arms.
"Hong Jin, what's wrong with you?"
She was just about to take his pulse.
Que Hongjin held her and let her sit on his lap. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I can take your pulse while holding you like this."
Of course, Que Hongjin didn't think his wife had any medical skills, which was something he had never heard of. As long as she liked it, she would do whatever she wanted.
Qiao Su Luo couldn't concentrate on taking her pulse at this moment. She felt his breath on her neck was full of seductive heat, which made her heart almost beat.
Qiao Su Luo seemed to have thought of something, and her face suddenly turned red, as if stained with the morning glow, and her watery eyes seemed drunk and shy, wanting to speak.
Looking at her like this, Que Hongjin's eyes dimmed, and he felt the emotions in his heart boiling.
"A Luo..."
His voice became hoarse at this moment.
Qiao Su Luo realized something and tried to struggle out of his arms.
She was well aware of the look in his eyes, which seemed to tear her apart.
She could imagine that if she continued, she wouldn't have to do anything else today.
"Hong Jin, it's daytime now. I need to get up and eat."
Que Hongjin hugged her tightly. When he lowered his head, his breath fell on her neck, and the breath like magma burned her skin. His elegant voice was wrapped in a hoarse tremor, "Be good, don't move. Let me hold you for a while."
Realizing something, Qiao Suluo blushed even more and didn't dare to move.
Que Hongjin breathed in the fragrant and charming scent from her body and felt a little drunk, but he knew that she needed to rest.
After a long time, his voice seemed to return to normal, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Wife, please take my pulse now."
"Why don't you go sit in the chair and take my pulse."
Qiao Su Luo was worried that if she held him like this, his heart rate would become abnormal and she would not be able to take his pulse normally.
"Okay."
Que Hongjin reluctantly let go of Qiao Suluo, and Qiao Suluo hurriedly got out of bed and sat down on the chair next to her.
Que Hongjin also sat on another chair and stretched out his hand.
Qiao Su Luo looked at his slender, white fingers and felt that they were like exquisite works of art, so beautiful that it made people want to reach out and touch them.
But she still calmed herself down and put her fingers on the pulse carefully.
She looked extremely focused as she took her pulse. Que Hongjin looked into her eyes, as if he was looking into her soul through her eyes.
Qiao Su Luo obtained the power inherited from the miraculous doctor, and some knowledge and abilities seemed to be engraved in her mind all at once, and she learned them automatically.
When she took her pulse, she automatically knew what was going on.
But after taking Que Hongjin's pulse, Qiao Suluo's face changed. When she looked up again, she looked at Que Hongjin with distressed eyes and said, "Five years ago, you were given the Youteng Drunken Heart Dew. This poison is a slow-acting one, made from eighteen kinds of poisonous herbs. It's colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect. It will only slowly devour your internal energy. Especially when using the Youlan Flower as a lure at a critical moment, it will completely dissipate your internal energy, leaving you completely powerless."
"Furthermore, this poison counteracts the cultivation method you practice. Even now, it remains in your body, tormenting you and preventing you from gathering any more internal energy..."
Qiao Suluo said this slowly.
She could tell from Que Hongjin's pulse that he must have had very strong internal energy in the past, but it was destroyed by this poison.
The more he used his internal energy, the more serious his injuries became, and in the end his internal energy was almost completely wasted.
She knew that in this Beast World Continent, some big families would practice ancient martial arts to gather internal strength.
She guessed that Que Hongjin's wings were chopped off at the moment when he lost all his internal strength.
Que Hongjin's expression suddenly changed. "Are you talking about Youteng Zuixinlu?"
He had seen this kind of poison in ancient books, but it was a poison concocted by someone a hundred years ago. Because there was no antidote and it could erode a person's internal strength, it was not easy to detect even by taking the pulse. Later, the emperor at that time ordered it to be a banned drug.
All the prescriptions were burned.
"Yes, that's the poison."
Que Hongjin murmured, "No wonder, even the imperial physician couldn't find it."
After he was seriously injured and even had his wings cut off, my grandmother invited the imperial physician and even the director of the Imperial Hospital to treat him. They all said that he had become a disabled person, with all his internal strength gone, and his injuries could not be cured.
And at that moment, he could have been fine, but because his internal strength suddenly disappeared, he could not withstand that move.
He still remembered the moment his wings were cut off. He smelled a faint fragrance. Was it the scent of orchid?
It's him!
Que Hongjin's eyes trembled violently. He never thought that he was the one who stabbed him in the back.
Que Hongjin quickly calmed down, her eyes dimming, "So I'm dying, right?"
There is no antidote for this poison. Over time, it will corrode a person's internal organs and kill them.
He looked at Qiao Su Luo deeply. At this moment, the person he was most reluctant to part with was Qiao Su Luo.
His wife, he hadn't had time to love her well.
His eyes were so affectionate and lingering, as if he wanted to engrave her deeply in the depths of his soul.
As for his enemies in the capital, he didn't even have time to take revenge, and he was powerless to do so now.
At this moment, there was a look of sadness and despair in Que Hongjin's eyes.
When Qiao Su Luo saw him like this, her heart ached. She held his hand, hoping to give him warmth and strength in this way.
"No, you won't die. Your poison is suppressed by your internal energy. Your internal organs are fine, and your internal energy hasn't disappeared. I can cure this poison."
"Once the poison is removed, your internal energy will be restored and can be used again."
As for his wings, medicine was useless, but her healing ability could help him grow wings again.
But take it one step at a time.
After hearing these words, Que Hongjin was shocked. He looked at Qiao Suluo in disbelief, "Aluo, what did you just say?"
"No, how can you take a pulse?"
She had no medical skills at all before.
"I was lost in thought. You are not her. Luo wouldn't be surprised by anything."
Qiao Su Luo looked at him with encouragement and said, "So you have to trust me. I know how to take pulses and practice medicine, so I have a way to detoxify you."
To reassure Que Hongjin, Qiao Su Luo said, "I'll write down the antidote prescription right now."
