Chapter 599 Screaming in pain
"Let me see your legs. How can I treat you if I don't?"
Fu Zhaoning slapped his hand away.
Miss He Er was shocked. How dare she slap his hand away?
But the younger brother, who used to be a troublemaker, didn't say anything when he was photographed. He just shouted excitedly, "My legs are broken, what are you looking at!"
"What did I say just now? You have to cooperate with me, but now you want to stop cooperating? Besides, isn't it for me, a doctor, to diagnose whether the leg is disabled or not? You are not a doctor, so what do you know?"
Fu Zhaoning looked up at Miss He Er as he spoke, "Hold his hand and don't let him wave it around."
"Ah? I catch?"
"Otherwise, call my guards."
"I'll grab it, I'll grab it." Miss He Er quickly grabbed He Xian'an's hand.
"How dare you—"
"Shh." Fu Zhaoning interrupted He Xian'an.
She had rolled up He Xian'an's trouser legs, exposing his knees and calves.
She opened the medicine box, took out a small wooden hammer, and hit He Xian'an's knees and calves back and forth.
"What are you doing!?"
"Does it hurt like this?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"No, it doesn't hurt--Ah! It hurts here!"
"What about over there?"
“It hurts, it hurts.”
After Fu Zhaoning finished knocking, he put away the hammer and took out the needle bag.
"What do you want to do now? You want to give acupuncture after beating? Where do you want to give the acupuncture?" He Xian'an looked at Fu Zhaoning in horror. How come he used hammers and needles before the treatment even started?
Fu Zhaoning gently gave him a needle in the leg, "Do you feel sore, numb, or swollen here?"
Huh? No pain?
"It's a feeling of numbness and swelling." He Xian'an said blankly.
"I heard that your legs sometimes hurt, sometimes not, and most of the time they are a little numb, is that right? Can you describe it to me, are you more tolerant when it hurts, or when it's numb?"
"It's easier when it hurts than when it's numb, but it hurts less often. Usually it's always a very strange numb feeling, especially when I try to stand up."
He Xian'an had already begun to cooperate with Fu Zhaoning in answering questions unconsciously.
"You were ill at that time, and the doctor said it was an evil wind that entered your body, is that right?"
"Yes, I went into the mountains to hunt at that time. There was miasma in that place, but I also took poison-clearing pills, but the others who went with me didn't take them."
He Xian'an's face turned pale when he thought about the time when he first fell ill.
"What kind of detoxification pills?"
"That one was given to me by a maid in the palace. She said it was originally going to be sent to the imperial mausoleum for Aunt Fuyun, but the queen said Aunt Fuyun already had one, so she gave it to the servants. The maid gave me one instead."
"Why didn't I hear about this at the time?" Miss He Er was stunned.
"Isn't it just a detoxifying pill? It's not a big deal. Of course I didn't tell you since you didn't ask me." He Xian'an said.
"How can this not be considered a big deal? What if there is something wrong with the poison-clearing pill?"
"No, don't all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Office make Qingdu Pills? I've taken them before. I just took them when I went into the mountains. It's to prevent me from dying if I get bit by a poisonous snake. Also, it'll keep me safe if I run into any poisonous grass or flowers in the mountains."
It was not the first time that He Xian'an had taken the Detoxification Pills. The taste was the same, and it was originally intended for Princess Fuyun. What could go wrong?
"After you took the detoxification pill, did you eat anything different in those two days?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"No." He Xian'an said a little embarrassedly, "What made me most angry was that I was the only one who fell ill when I came back from the hunting trip that day. Everyone else was fine."
Miss He Er said, "Because of this, our mother went to each of those people's homes one by one and scolded them all, saying that they must have failed to take good care of you."
Later, those families came with generous gifts to apologize, but because He Xian'an's legs were crippled, the princess ordered people to throw all those things away. From then on, she cut off all contact with those families, and would curse them if she met them outside.
Now when those people meet the eldest princess, they all take a detour.
If you can't afford to offend, can't you just hide away?
"That time you fell ill and lay in bed for three days. After three days, you wanted to get up, only to find that you couldn't stand up?"
"yes."
"Didn't anything happen to your legs during those three days?"
"Yes, I felt sore and weak all the time, but the doctor said it was probably because I was tired from walking too much in the mountains. Later he said it was because of the evil wind that entered my body and accumulated in my legs, so my legs became useless."
He Xian'an lowered his head again, but at this moment the needle in Fu Zhaoning's hand pierced him and he screamed violently.
"Oh my god, it hurts so much here, it hurts me to death!"
He was in so much pain that he wanted to push Fu Zhaoning away with one hand, but Miss He Er held his wrist tightly and prevented him from moving.
Fu Zhaoning looked at the position where the needle was to be inserted.
Another needle was inserted into the same position on the right leg.
"Ahhh! Do you want to kill me in pain? I told you I would cooperate with you, but you still want to be so cruel!" He Xian'an screamed again.
The eldest princess who was waiting outside wanted to rush in, but Duke Pinghe held her tightly.
"Are you crazy? Didn't you hear An'er's screams? Fu Zhaoning must be torturing An'er!"
"This is the first time we've seen her method of treatment!" Pinghe Gong said, "So it may have unexpected results!"
And, the most rare thing is that even though his son was screaming in pain, he did not hear him swearing like he used to, because in the past he would yell out all the nasty words he had ever learned in his life.
This is Fu Zhaoning's ability!
"Master, Princess Fuyun has arrived." Butler He came hurriedly to report.
"What? Why is she here?"
Lord Pinghe was a little surprised, but the eldest princess' eyes lit up.
"Fuyun is here! Is she here to bring good luck to An'er? Husband, you have to listen carefully. No matter what, let Fuyun stay here for three days! Arrange a house closest to An'er for her, and then her luck will be able to be passed on to An'er."
Lord Pinghe was also delighted, "Quick, please invite her in."
Without saying anything, invite Fuyun to An'er's yard.
Princess Fuyun was soon invited here. She was a little surprised to see Shiyi Xiaoqin and the others.
"Royal sister, brother-in-law, who are they?"
"Their young lady is treating An'er's leg in the room." said Mr. Pinghe.
The princess couldn't help but say something, "I don't know why she is so arrogant. A doctor who doesn't even have a reputation brings so many guards and maids with her when she goes out. If you don't know her, you would think she is the princess."
"Is she a female doctor?" asked Princess Fuyun.
"That's right, you're still very young."
"Can't we go in and watch?"
What are you all standing here for?
