Chapter 113 I teased him on purpose
Sanping and Su Zhongqian hurried back to report to Emperor Jingyuan. Zhao Chengning and Xu Qingcheng, who were involved in the matter, were also summoned back, and Zhong Ting was also called back. The entire National Academy's guards were replaced, and half of the people brought by Sanping were left behind.
The study tour at the National Academy would not end for another month, so Zhao Jinyuan and Liu Yuan stayed.
In order to prevent anyone from associating the miracle doctor's affairs with Xihe, Liu Yuan went to Xiao Mingxuan's place to wait every time, and Xihe also came from the Women's College.
"Uncle Weird, take off your clothes." Xihe took out a row of needles and spread them out in front of Liu Yuan. The needles were long and thin, and they looked like they could kill someone.
"Do I have to take off my clothes again?" Liu Yuan asked in disbelief, his eyes wide open.
The little girl resisted the urge to bite and said with a smile, "How can I give you the acupuncture if you don't take it off? Can I see through your clothes?"
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Xiao Mingxuan could no longer bear it and pulled the two fighting cocks apart. He turned around and asked, "Xiao Xier, where do you want to give me the acupuncture?"
"Only the back, where else can it be?"
Xiao Mingxuan coughed twice, and his neck turned slightly red.
It turned out that he was overthinking it.
"Do you want to do it yourself, or should I help you?" Although very reluctant, Xiao Mingxuan still agreed, "I'll treat you, don't think too much."
The corners of Liu Yuan's mouth twitched wildly, "Boy, I'm twenty years older than her."
He is not a beast!
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at it indifferently and said, "Oh."
Liuyuan: "..."
The moment the long needle entered, Liu Yuan did not react at all.
Xihe inserted the needle two minutes in, but Liu Yuan still didn't react, not even a groan. "Uncle Weird, doesn't it hurt?"
She hit him hard on purpose.
"I can't feel anything. Have you started?" Liu Yuan asked, unable to see the situation on his back.
Xihe's expression did not relax at all, but instead became serious.
The usually lively little girl suddenly stopped talking. Liu Yuan keenly sensed something was wrong and asked in a trembling voice, "Little brat, is it incurable?"
Then he smiled knowingly, "I know my body. It doesn't matter if it can't be cured. There's no need to look so sad. Come on, smile~"
Perhaps he was mentally prepared, and except for the initial loss, Liu Yuan quickly returned to normal.
"Uh...that's not the case." Xihe hesitated, "Uncle Weird, do you know that you were poisoned?"
"Ah?" Liu Yuan thought back to the three years he'd been held in the dungeon. "Although Jiang Zhongguo tortured me, he never gave me poison. Or maybe he put it in my food. I don't know."
"What's wrong? Is the poison difficult to cure?" Liu Yuan felt that he was really unlucky. His meridians had not been healed yet, and he was found to be poisoned again.
"The poison isn't difficult to cure." Xihe pulled out a needle, looked at the faint green coating on it, and asked, "Why does Jiang Zhongguo have Nanli's poison?"
Liu Yuan didn't care about the needle on his back and turned around repeatedly. The three of them stared at the silver needle and fell into silence.
"Little brother, give me a cup with tea."
Xiao Mingxuan turned around and poured a glass of water from the table beside him and handed it to the little girl. Xihe dissolved the light green color on the silver needle into the water, and soon a water ripple flower appeared on the water surface.
"It's called 'Water Flower'. I heard the imperial physician mention it once before. It seems to be a secret medicine that the Nanli royal family never passes on."
There are many snakes and insects in Nanli, and poisonous insects are prevalent. However, because the poisons are too harmful, Emperor Jingyuan ordered people to guard the pass strictly and not allow the poisons to flow into Tianshuo.
Liu Yuan sneered, "I initially thought they were just communicating with Mobei, but it turns out they also have Nanli. What are they trying to do? Are they selling out their country for personal gain?"
Xihe had never seen Liu Yuan angry. Since their first meeting, the general had always been nonchalant and smiling. Now that he showed such a terrifying expression for the first time, it felt very unfamiliar.
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at Xihe, then bumped into Liu Yuan silently, signaling him to be more restrained and not scare the little girl.
Liu Yuan was leaning against the table beside him, about to pour himself a cup of tea.
"Don't move!" Xihe suddenly shouted.
Liu Yuan's movements stopped in mid-air. "What's wrong?"
In an instant, countless dangerous things flashed through his mind.
Was the tea poisoned, or was someone assassinated outside the window?
"The needle fell off."
Liuyuan: "..."
"Little brother, help me hold down the weird uncle. I'm going to start pricking the more painful spots." Xihe picked up a few needles that were a hundred times thicker than the previous ones and was eager to try them on Liu Yuan's face.
"Okay." Xiao Mingxuan started without saying anything.
How could a grown man like Liu Yuan be pinned down by two brats who were no bigger than him combined? He made a move to break free, but Xihe, seeing this, quickly gave him a shot. Liu Yuan, who was full of energy just now, suddenly fell down on the couch and lay motionless.
He stretched out a hand with difficulty and said tremblingly: "You... did it on purpose!"
Xihe smiled and said, "I did it on purpose. Who told you to be disobedient and move around?"
If the needle just now had really gone astray, Liu Yuan would have really been paralyzed.
Liu Yuan almost fainted from anger, and glared at his accomplice beside him, "You heartless brat, you're helping her too?"
Xiao Mingxuan said without blushing or beating his heart, "It's for your own good."
Liuyuan: "..."
The little girl inserted several needles in a row, directly piercing Liu Yuan into a hedgehog. She took out a pill from her bosom and handed it to Liu Yuan, "Eat~"
Liu Yuan was already exhausted by the two little brats. He took the pill weakly and stuffed it into his mouth without even looking at it.
"Oh, I got the wrong one. That looks like poison!" Xihe looked at Liu Yuan with an apologetic look, "Poor weird uncle~"
Liu Yuan choked and almost spit out the pill he had just swallowed. He met the little girl's half-smile with a panicked look, and then looked at Xiao Mingxuan's slightly disgusted gaze beside him. If Liu Yuan still didn't know that he was being tricked by that brat, he would be unworthy of being a human being.
"You two are still excited, right?" Liu Yuan felt that his young heart had been seriously hurt. Gradually, his consciousness became less and less. He mumbled a few words and gradually fell asleep.
Xihe breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the soft couch on the other side.
Xiao Mingxuan took out the newly bought pastries and handed them to the little girl.
"Thank you, little brother~" The little girl took it with great satisfaction.
Xiao Mingxuan smiled, turned to look at the sleeping Liu Yuan, and asked, "Were you teasing him on purpose just now to make him feel less uncomfortable?"
He stood on the other side and saw more clearly the cold sweat that kept coming out of Liu Yuan's forehead, but this man was very concerned about his reputation, so he was stunned and didn't say anything, just endured it.
"Hehe, I've been discovered~" The little girl gave Xiao Mingxuan a flattering smile, but she didn't feel embarrassed about being exposed. "The second acupuncture was used in conjunction with the pill to reshape the meridians. The process was too painful, so I added something to make the weird uncle fall asleep."
