Xiao Yanchu was already in a state of semi-exhaustion.
He could feel the chill in his body dissipating.
The chill that had subsided after the initial poisoning dissipated, as if it had returned to my body.
This time, as the chill dissipated, he could clearly feel that it had truly dissipated, leaving his body and completely dissipating into the bucket.
"Come on, lend a hand."
Su Ruojin and the other two used their strength to help Xiao Yanchu into another bucket.
At this moment, Xiao Yanchu felt his body was a little hot. He sat in the ice bucket and felt very comfortable, so comfortable that he couldn't help but groan.
Before he could even catch his breath, Xiao Yanchu felt as if he were being roasted over a fire.
It felt like every part of his body was on fire, each flame desperately releasing heat, as if it wouldn't stop until it burned him to ashes.
Xiao Yanchu's face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
Su Ruojin administered acupuncture again, instructing Mu Jingshan to place the medicinal herbs, but this time the placement of the herbs went completely differently than before.
This time, not only did veins bulge on Xiao Yanchu's forehead, but veins all over his body were bulging, as if his blood vessels were about to burst.
Add ice!
Bucket after bucket of ice was poured into the bucket, and it melted quickly. Then another bucket was poured in, and the overflowing water spilled all over the ground.
Su Ruojin stared intently at Xiao Yanchu's chest.
Just then, Hu Qing's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you cannot go in!"
Mu Jingshan and Shen Yu exchanged a glance. Consort Jiang had arrived.
Perhaps it was because of the bond between mother and child, but Consort Jiang felt somewhat uneasy today.
She then asked Su Lan to check on Xiao Yanchu to see if he was alright.

When Aunt Sulan arrived at Yunqi Courtyard, she found that there were no maids or servants guarding the courtyard, and it was eerily quiet.
She tried to take a few more steps closer, but was stopped by a bodyguard who appeared out of nowhere.
Aunt Sulan couldn't force her way in, so she had no choice but to tell Consort Jiang everything.
Consort Jiang also found it strange and worried that something might have happened to Chu'er. She hurriedly asked Su Lan to help her over, as she was determined to see that Chu'er was safe and sound before she could feel at ease.
The guards dared not lay a hand on Consort Jiang. She made her way to Xiao Yanchu's room, where she was stopped by Hu Qing.
"Hu Qing, how dare you stop the Empress Dowager!" Aunt Sulan said angrily.
Hu Qing hurriedly knelt down: "Your subordinate dares not, Your Highness. The Prince has ordered that no one may enter without his permission. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"I am Chu'er's mother. How can a mother not enter her son's courtyard? Hu Qing, get out of my way! If you dare to obstruct me again, I will not let you off!" Seeing this situation, Consort Jiang felt even more uneasy.
"I, Hu Qing, am at the mercy of the Dowager!" Hu Qing lowered his head, determined not to yield an inch.
"You!" Consort Jiang was furious that a mere guard dared to stop her.
"Sulan, open the door for me! I want to see who dares to stop me!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
As Su Lan was about to push open the door, Hu Qing stood up and blocked the doorway, holding a knife to Su Lan's neck.
"Aunt Sulan, please forgive me."
Consort Jiang and Su Lan were both stunned.
The two never expected that Hu Qing would be so bold as to commit such an act of insubordination.
"How dare you, Hu Qing! Put down your sword right now!" Consort Jiang was so angry that her body trembled.
"Please, Your Highness and Aunt, leave. I will put down my sword," Hu Qing insisted.
"Ooh~"
"Yanchu~"
At this moment, a muffled groan came from inside the room, along with Su Ruojin's voice, though it wasn't very clear through the door.
But Consort Jiang was an experienced woman, so she knew exactly what that voice meant.
Her face turned green.
She never expected that Dr. Su, who usually seemed so serious, would be this kind of person.
It wasn't even dark yet, and she was openly seducing the prince in broad daylight.
