Chapter 343 Detoxification
After hearing what Doctor Li said, Yu Qinghuan tried to pull her hand out, but Cheng Gongjin held it tightly.
His pale face reflected the dim candlelight, and his eyes were darker than the night. Cheng Gongjin asked in a low voice, "Can you stay here with me?"
For such an important matter, he selfishly wanted to keep Yu Qinghuan by his side.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Li rolled his eyes to the sky. He was usually very arrogant and didn't take his life seriously, but now he needed someone to accompany him.
Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Doctor Li. After receiving Doctor Li's agreement, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Soon, Cheng Gongjin took off his clothes and lay on the couch.
Doctor Li came over with a bowl of medicine mixed with blood. He wanted to do it himself, but when he saw Yu Qinghuan was so free and they were holding hands, he decided to be a good person.
He handed the medicine bowl to Yu Qinghuan, "You apply it on him."
Yu Qinghuan immediately took the medicine bowl and was about to help Cheng Gongjin get up to drink the medicine.
Doctor Li's forehead twitched. "I told you to apply the medicine on him, not let him drink it!"
Is one of these two people listening to what he is saying?
Yu Qinghuan's face suddenly turned red and she felt a little embarrassed. She was so focused on Cheng Gongjin that she didn't hear what Doctor Li said just now. She almost gave the medicine to Cheng Gongjin.
Cheng Gongjin looked at Doctor Li, frowning slightly, "Speak nicely."
Doctor Li: “…” You are still protected. I will give you a few strong injections later.
Yu Qinghuan quickly lowered the medicine bowl, took a cotton cloth beside it, dipped some dark red medicine juice in it, and started applying it from Cheng Gongjin's heart.
The medicine is slightly cool and has a faint smell of blood. As Doctor Li said, this is to force the poisonous insect to show its true form.
Soon, the medicine juice covered the entire upper body. Yu Qinghuan put the empty medicine bowl on the table and stood aside watching.
At this time, Doctor Li had already picked up three silver needles in his hand and placed them on different parts of Cheng Gongjin's body.
He inserted these needles deliberately at the most painful acupoints on the body, causing Cheng Gongjin, who was usually able to endure the pain, to groan in pain, with fine lines forming between his brows.
Yu Qinghuan took a deep breath, silently held Cheng Gongjin's hand, and couldn't help but warn Doctor Li, "Be gentle."
Hearing this, Doctor Li gave him two more injections, saying in a cold and hard tone, "It won't be easy."
At this moment, he suddenly pressed Cheng Gongjin's shoulders and stared at him, "The poisonous insect is about to come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small bulge on the skin of Cheng Gongjin's chest, as if something was wriggling under the skin.
Yu Qinghuan's pupils constricted in shock, and she tightly grasped Cheng Gongjin's hand, feeling a little frightened.
This insect is so big, how painful must he have felt when the poison took effect...
Sensing Yu Qinghuan's emotions, Cheng Gongjin's forehead broke out in sweat, but he held her hand back, his voice unusually steady: "Don't be afraid."
Yu Qinghuan said hoarsely, "I'm not afraid..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Li was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He took a knife and accurately cut open the raised skin.
The moment the knife cut through the skin, it seemed to stimulate the insect, and Cheng Gongjin's muscles suddenly tensed up.
Yu Qinghuan's hand was held tightly by him, and she could even feel him trembling. Enduring the severe pain, Yu Qinghuan could do nothing but hold his other hand and said, "Bear with it, it will be fine soon."
A muffled groan escaped from Cheng Gongjin's throat.
With a very light "hiss" sound, Doctor Li used the tip of the needle to pick out a thin, blood-red worm from the wound. The worm's body was still twisting wildly on the tip of the needle. This scene really scared Yu Qinghuan.
Because the blood-sucking insect looks really disgusting.
Seeing this, Xiaoying immediately handed over the brazier that had been prepared long ago. Doctor Li threw the silver needle directly into the fire. With a "pop" sound, sparks flew everywhere.
Just when everyone's attention was on the brazier, Doctor Li suddenly shouted, "Hold him down!"
Cheng Gongjin suddenly began to twitch violently. Yu Qinghuan rushed forward to hold down his shoulders, but saw a trickle of black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and his eyes were bloodshot.
She was too concerned about Cheng Gongjin's appearance, it was obvious that he was poisoned.
Doctor Li quickly sealed several of Cheng Gongjin's acupuncture points with silver needles, and asked Xiaoying to bring him a bowl of medicine, and asked him to drink it. "Although the insect has been removed, the poison is still in the body. It will take at least three days to completely eliminate it. Someone must be by his side to take good care of him."
"If you can get through these three days, you'll be fine in the future."
Yu Qinghuan wiped the blood from Cheng Gongjin's lips with his sleeve, looked at the unconscious man, and thought of how Cheng Gongjin looked when the poison took effect before. There was no one around him who could get close to him, so he had to stay alone.
She immediately said to Xiaoying beside her, "Go tell Sang Ru that I won't be returning home tonight."
Xiaoying looked grateful and said, "I'll go right away!"
It's not that he is lazy, but when his master is angry, he is more aggressive than a wolf, and when he gets angry, he is harder to control than a pig.
...
When Xiaoying came over, Sang Ru had already laid out the bedding in the room where she had stayed temporarily before, waiting for Yu Qinghuan to come back so that she could sleep on it.
She even went to the kitchen, found a familiar cook, and asked her to cook two side dishes, thinking that her daughter must be hungry and that the chef in the Cheng family was quite skilled.
Xiaoying: "Miss Sangru, Madam Yu said she would stay at the Cheng residence for three days and will not be returning to the Yu residence yet."
Sang Ru was not surprised at all to learn that Yu Qinghuan was going to stay in Cheng Mansion, even for three days.
When they came out of the restaurant earlier, the girl said that she would just come to Cheng's house to take a look and leave, but she didn't believe it at all.
With that girl's personality, she couldn't even move her legs when she saw Lord Cheng.
Xiaoying was just about to call someone to clean up the room and make the bedding so that Madam Yu could rest tonight, but when she entered the room, she found that everything had been tidied up.
He looked at Sang Ru with admiration, and was able to accurately guess his master's intentions and do his job so well. No wonder after so long, Sang Ru was still the only one by Madam Yu's side.
One person is enough.
...
When Cheng Gongjin woke up, it was already midnight.
Yu Qinghuan was wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a wrung-out handkerchief. Seeing him frowning in pain while unconscious, her heart ached.
I really don’t know how he managed to survive before. The old emperor and Prince Rui really deserve to die. They actually did this just for that ridiculous suspicion.
Just as Yu Qinghuan lowered her head to wipe the backs and palms of her hands, the unconscious Cheng Gongjin frowned and suddenly opened his eyes. His scarlet eyes flashed with clarity the moment he saw Yu Qinghuan.
His voice was hoarse, "...You haven't left yet."
Yu Qinghuan softened her voice, "How can I leave when you're like this?"
Outside the house, the copper bells under the eaves were jingling in the night wind. Doctor Li, who was about to go into the house, was standing outside the door. When he saw this scene, he suddenly smiled, picked up the medicine box and left silently.
It’s better to be young.
