She walked forward and said, "Then don't just sit there doing nothing. Just because you don't have good medical skills, you think everyone in the world is the same as you..." Pushing the person away, she walked to Youshi's side and took out her silver needle. Her hands were so fast that the imperial physician didn't even see that she had already given the acupuncture.
"Miss Shen, stop messing around!" Even Lin Xuanfeng didn't believe that a ten-year-old girl knew any medical skills.
He had a good impression of Shen Qingqiu. Although he didn't know what was going on in Duke Xiao's Mansion, You was already in a coma and even the imperial physician was helpless. If she gave acupuncture recklessly and someone died, Duke Xiao's Mansion would probably blame her.
"Wait a minute!" It was the imperial physician standing beside him who stopped Lin Xuanfeng, "Mr. Lin, don't stop Miss Shen!"
The imperial physician looked eagerly at Shen Qingqiu who was performing acupuncture. "Miss Shen is knowledgeable in medicine, and her acupuncture skills are far superior to mine! This needle seems to be the long-lost Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles!"
"Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles?" Lin Xuanfeng had never heard of it before. "What is this?"
Those who can be imperial physicians are naturally proficient in medical skills. "The Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles were created by the genius doctor Jin Lian. As the name suggests, they can even bring back patients who are at the gates of hell. But this acupuncture method was lost fifty years ago. I never thought I would see it again today! With such acupuncture method, how could the old lady of the You family not wake up!" That is a trick that can save people from the King of Hell!
"What's this? Are you kidding me?" Lin didn't believe it, and neither did Xiao's father. "You don't even know how to be a doctor, so how can a little girl like her know?"
The imperial physician ignored them. You know, there are geniuses in every profession, and the little girl in front of him is undoubtedly a genius in medicine! Not to mention that she knows the long-lost acupuncture skills, the speed and strength of her needle insertion are something that even he may not be able to do now, not to mention that she is only ten years old!
With time, you will achieve great things.
Shen Qingqiu finally inserted a needle into You's Tianling acupoint. The needle made a buzzing sound right after she started. It really felt like a miracle.
"Playing tricks..." Lin had just finished speaking when she saw her mother-in-law move.
Youshi slowly opened her eyes and moved her lips. After a moment, she looked around and said, "What happened to me?" She could even speak! The imperial physician had come to see her a few days ago, and it was clear that she couldn't speak at that time. This shows how amazing this skill is! "Mother, mother, you finally woke up! I was so worried about you!" Then Xiao's father hurried forward, looking like a filial son.
Shen Qingqiu sneered, without further ado, and said, "Grandma You, everyone is here now, saying that it was my mother and you who poisoned you. Although you couldn't speak a few days ago, you still have some consciousness. You wouldn't be unaware of who harmed you, right?" You's body was really weak. If it weren't for Shen Qingqiu's needle, she would probably not even have the strength to lift her body now.
She struggled to get up, and Liu hurriedly supported her aside. You pointed at Lin in the audience angrily.
Lin's face turned pale and she couldn't help but take a step back.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Old Lady, it's time to take medicine!" After the maid outside called out, she came in with a tray. Perhaps because Shen Qingqiu had just given acupuncture, the people in his son's room were still dazed, and they didn't react to the strangeness of a maid barging in.
The maid was walking in with the tray in her hand, but in the blink of an eye she took out a small knife from under the tray.
Shen Qingqiu had already noticed her, and was about to throw out the knife from his sleeve, but unexpectedly her mother suddenly rushed over from the side, and fearing that she would hurt Liu, she quickly asked her knife to be retracted and went forward to capture her. The maid didn't know martial arts, and after being blocked by Liu, she still rushed forward violently, and was soon captured by Shen Qingqiu.
When Liu tried to block the attack, her sleeve was cut by the knife and blood was now oozing from her arm.
“Master Lin, are all the people in your Dali Temple just there to eat and do nothing?” Shen Qingqiu asked anxiously.
Lin Xuanfeng was shocked by her skill and was stunned for a moment. He came to his senses after hearing her words and hurriedly asked the yamen runners around him to catch the maid. Seeing that the maid's expression changed after being arrested, he hurriedly said, "Remove her jaw, she will bite her tongue to commit suicide!" There are a dozen spineless people who confess everything when trying cases in the Dali Temple, and many of them commit suicide.
As soon as Lin Xuanfeng gave the instructions, the constable had already cut the maid's jaw.
Shen Qingqiu looked at Liu's arm and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was only a superficial wound.
"Oh no, the old lady has fainted!" the imperial physician exclaimed.
Shen Qingqiu hurried over, first felt Youshi's pulse, and then hurriedly lifted her eyelids, only to see that the black spots under her eyelids became more and more obvious. "The poison has entered her lungs." Shen Qingqiu said.
The imperial physician stepped forward quickly and asked, "Young lady, do you mean that the old lady has been poisoned? But I have never seen this kind of poison?" That was why after taking the old lady's pulse several times before, he thought that she was just weak and worried too much.
Shen Qingqiu said: "There is a kind of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang that can make people weak without knowing it." At this moment, his son Shen Qingqiu looked at Lin below. He thought Lin was a fool for using such a trick, but he didn't expect that she had a backup plan. She was not stupid at all.
"What a fuss!" Lin straightened her back at this moment, "You said something about my mother-in-law's Southern Border witchcraft. I knew that my mother-in-law was in good health when she woke up this morning. After you two came to visit her, she suddenly became weak, vomiting blood and falling into a coma. No matter what, you, the Gu Marquis Mansion, must give us, the Xiao Guogong Mansion, an explanation!"
Father Xiao added grimly, "If my mother is really gone, it will just be a matter of exchanging one life for another."
Shen Qingqiu was so shocked by the shamelessness of this couple that he wanted to laugh, "I'm afraid no matter who comes today, they will have to rely on you guys, right?"
Now that things have come to this, it's natural that things will fall out.
Father Xiao looked at Lin Xuanfeng, "Lord Lin, why haven't you arrested the two yet? Are you afraid of the power of Marquis Gu's Mansion?"
"Ah! What is this?!" Lin Xuanfeng hadn't moved yet when he heard a cry of surprise.
But Liu covered her mouth and looked at the head of the bed in disbelief. Everyone followed her gaze and saw a leech-sized worm crawling out of You's nostrils. Shen Qingqiu walked over quickly and pinched the worm with his hand, "Quick, bring me a porcelain bottle!"
The imperial physician quickly took out a clean porcelain bottle from his medical box.
Shen Qingqiu stuffed the insect into the porcelain bottle, and then shook it, "I understand now, that maid was not here to assassinate the old lady at all--" Shen Qingqiu walked over and kicked up the tray that was originally carrying the medicine. The tray spun in the air and fell into her palm. She sniffed it lightly, "Is this an insect attractant?"
"I have seen such records in books. When insects drive away the poisonous insects, people will die instantly."
The imperial physician felt You's pulse and nodded, "Thanks to the young lady's needle, the old lady's breath is still locked." Shen Qingqiu also walked over and looked at the poisonous insect in the porcelain bottle suspiciously. Logically speaking, unless the person who cast the poison took action, the poisonous insect would not come out for no reason? The poisonous insect came out inexplicably, and You, who had originally spit out a mouthful of blood, woke up again.
"Lin, it's Lin, don't blame Madam Gu..." Her body had been drained by Gu Chong a long time ago, and she really had no strength. She just didn't want to hurt others, so after saying this, she closed her eyes and gasped hard.
After all, Lin was a woman, and she was a little flustered when she saw this situation.
But Father Xiao, who was standing by, had been in the officialdom for a long time. He knew that even if the Gu family had not done this, it must not happen to his wife. Otherwise, where would the reputation of the Xiao Guogong Mansion be? "Mother, I think you are sick and confused! Why are you still talking nonsense like this?!" Father Xiao stepped forward and said to everyone, "Everyone, it seems that today is all a misunderstanding. My mother was seriously ill just now, which really scared me. Now that she is awake, everything is fine." After saying that, he was about to order them to leave.
Not to mention that Shen Qingqiu would not agree, Lin Xuanfeng would not agree either, "Sir Xiao, Old Lady You is an official's wife with an imperial decree. If she gets killed it is not your family's business!" After saying that, his eyes were fixed on Lin, who was looking defeated behind him.
"Lin Xuanfeng, you are just a seventh-rank official. What qualifications do you have to enter my house and take my wife!" When Xiao's father couldn't make sense, he just forced his way in. "Even your grandfather didn't dare to find fault with me, so who do you think you are?! Today's matter has to be let go. How can my own family affairs be handled by the Dali Temple?!"
Lin Xuanfeng was extremely angry, but as Xiao's father said, this matter was indeed a family matter if it was minor. If no one in the Xiao family was willing to come forward, who would they point out as the one who harmed Old Lady Xiao? Lin seemed to have thought of this and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Shi was lying on the sickbed, sobbing and pounding the bed. She only hated that she didn't have her own child. If she had her own child, how could she let others bully her like this? Now that there were witnesses and evidence, it was a pity that she was alone and could only let others bully her in vain.
At this moment, there was a sudden banging sound at the door, like several horses galloping towards him.
"Duke Xiao, Duke Xiao is back!" someone suddenly shouted outside.
Shen Qingqiu's face showed no expression, but Lin and Father Xiao's expressions changed slightly.
A moment later, an old man in his sixties, with a slender figure and a cold look on his face, walked into the room. His aura was extremely powerful, and when he looked at him, Lin and Xiao's father shrank like quails.
"Didn't father accompany His Majesty to the Western Hills for hunting? Why are you back at this time?" Father Xiao stepped forward and asked.
But just as he finished speaking, Duke Xiao slapped him hard, "You evil creature, kneel down!"
Father Xiao was stunned by the slap, and Duke Xiao had been very powerful since he was a child, so his legs softened and he quickly knelt in front of him. Duke Xiao strode to his wife's bed, and Youshi cried and stretched out her hand, falling into her arms.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here and I won't let anyone hurt you."
After hearing what her husband said, Youshi burst into tears.
Duke Xiao felt even more distressed. The two were originally an old father and a young wife. When he was forty, Youshi was only twenty years old when he married her. It was impossible that they didn’t have feelings for each other. In addition, their only daughter was lost again, and he felt even more guilty about her. Listening to Youshi’s crying, Duke Xiao stroked her back while looking at Lin Xuanfeng and said, “The Dali Temple can interrogate anyone they want and investigate however they want. There is no need to worry about our Duke’s Mansion.”
"Father!" Father Xiao said loudly on the side.
