It was the first time that Jiang Xinian was so serious. He kept stabbing the needles in his hand one by one as if they would never run out.
Little Lingling was dumbfounded. At first she thought there were forty-nine sticks, but when she got to the fiftieth one, she realized something was wrong.
After that, there were the sixtieth, seventieth, seventy-fifth...
Xiao Lingling looked at Jiang Xinian in disbelief. He saw that his face was extremely pale, his lips were tightly pursed, beads of sweat kept dripping from his head, and even his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
But his eyes were burning as he stared at the area just above his heart. He tried hard to control his hand and slowly lowered it.
After the 88th stab was completed, the chest of the marquis, who had originally stopped breathing, began to rise and fall again.
Although it was very faint, he did move.
After confirming it, Jiang Xinian collapsed to the ground as if he had fainted.
Little Bell was startled and rushed over to support him, pulling out her water bag from her waist, "Master, drink some water!"
Jiang Xinian didn't try to be brave. He grabbed the water bag and drank it. After a few big gulps, he felt his body slowly regain some consciousness.
Nie Rujun saw his father's chest rising and falling. He couldn't believe it and put his hand to the tip of his father's nose. Feeling the breath gently sliding through his fingertips, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Dad is alive! Dad is really alive! That's great! Doctor Jiang, thank you, thank you so much!"
Nie Rujun was extremely surprised and kept thanking Jiang Xinian while grabbing his hand.
But Nie Ruxiu, who was not far behind him, had an incredible look on his face, and his body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
What should I do? What should I do? How could someone who was clearly dead come back to life? If he really came back to life, wouldn't that mean I was doomed?
He was trembling slightly with panic, his mind desperately trying to think of a solution.
Soon, his eyes fell on the golden needles, and he immediately had an idea!
He pretended to be concerned and rushed over. He pushed Nie Rujun to Jiang Xinian's side, and wanted to move the golden needles while Nie Rujun was blocking the sight of those people.
Although he didn't know medicine, he knew that the old man's life was only hanging on by these golden needles.
If anything goes wrong with the golden needle, the old man will definitely not survive!
He successfully pushed Nie Rujun aside and raised his hand to move the golden needle closest to him.
Just when his hand was about to touch the golden needles, an emotionless voice sounded in his ear.
"What? You dare to touch my golden needle?"
Nie Ruxiu was completely stunned. He turned around and looked straight into Jiang Xinian's eyes.
It was so cold that he felt a chill instantly rushing to the top of his head.
"I, I, I didn't!"
He tried to quibble, but even Nie Rujun noticed that something was wrong. He grabbed Nie Rushu's arm and pushed him away, not letting him get even a step closer to the bed.
"Second brother! What exactly do you want to do? Did you just want to touch the golden needles on father's body?"
Nie Ruxiu shook his head frantically, "No, no, no, I didn't, I, I was just curious and wanted to take a look!
I watched my father die with my own eyes, but now he is breathing again, so I am just curious, really! Big brother, you have to believe me! "
He spoke with absolute certainty, but Nie Rujun didn't believe a word of it.
"Second brother! Don't treat me like a fool. Those golden needles are our father's life now. Even if we are curious, no one dares to touch them. I'm afraid no one will believe your explanation!
But it doesn't matter, just wait there quietly. If anything happens, wait until father is out of danger!"
Nie Rujun looked at him deeply, then turned to Jiang Xinian and asked, "Divine Doctor Jiang, I wonder what's going on with my father?
He was in good health before, but recently he's been coughing and complaining of dizziness."
Jiang Xinian leaned against the bedpost to save himself some energy, "He's been poisoned!"
Nie Rujun immediately frowned, "Poisoned? How is that possible? Everyone in this courtyard is family, no one would harm my father.
The doctor I consulted before said that my father's condition was caused by overwork and prescribed some medicine. After taking it, my father's condition has indeed improved."
Jiang Xinian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Since the previous medicine made it better, why are you still coughing now?"
Nie Rujun felt something was wrong, but he still explained everything, "That's because my father took too much, and the effect of the medicine was greatly reduced.
Oh, by the way, my second brother had specially found some medicinal food recipes before, and they seemed to have helped a little. Second brother, what was the name of the medicinal food recipe you used at that time?
I can't quite remember it, take it out and show it to Dr. Jiang, maybe he can give me some clues!"
Nie Ruxiu's face froze, and he lowered his head. "I don't even know where the prescription is. It's been so long, I don't know where I lost it."
Jiang Xinian sneered, "I don't think you lost it, but it's not a medicinal recipe at all!"
Nie Ruxiu was shocked and raised his head to refute, "You're talking nonsense! You didn't even see it, how can you slander me?"
Jiang Xinian's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, "Don't you know that pine nuts have a smell? Although the smell is very light, it will stick to your body once you come into contact with it. This smell can even last for half a month.
The scent of pine berries on you is so obvious, it's obvious that you didn't just have a simple contact with it, so not only does it last longer, but the scent is also a bit stronger.
If you don't believe it, you can ask a doctor or imperial physician to come and smell it!"
Nie Ruxiu was really panicked now. He subconsciously raised his arm to smell it, but before he could put it to his nose, he froze in place.
He slowly looked towards Nie Rujun, and sure enough, he saw him looking at him with a face full of grief and anger. He instantly knew that he had no way to escape.
Sure enough, the next moment Jiang Xi laughed out loud, "Hahaha, you really are confessing yourself! If you are really as innocent as you say, why bother with this?"
Nie Ruxiu lowered his arms, his face expressionless, and he didn't even have the desire to defend himself.
Nie Rujun looked at him in disbelief. "Why? Why on earth is this happening? He's my father, and he's your father too! How could you be so cruel?"
Nie Ruxiu raised his eyes and waited for Nie Rujun, his eyes full of jealousy and madness. His face was ferocious and full of resentment.
"Why wouldn't he do it? He has so many brothers, but he's always been partial to you. I don't believe you don't know that.
However, I don't mind his doting. But he clearly said before that the title of marquis will be passed on to whoever gets the highest score in the exam!
He had originally agreed to pass it on to me, but because you have been studying hard recently, he took back his decision and wants to wait until you are over the science exam this year!
What does this mean? Isn't he just waiting for you to do better than me in the exam? Why? Is it just because you are a legitimate child?
Since he is so partial, I don't want a father like him!"
