No, no, Qu Qingxi quickly dismissed the evil thought in her mind. She was a doctor who saved lives, how could she do something so heinous for her own selfish desires?
However, the person in front of her is her husband, so even if he does something wrong, he can't be considered heartless or insane, right?
"Alright, I'll begin." Qu Qingxi banished the random thoughts from her mind and then pulled out the silver needles.
In the past, Qu Qingxi would always administer acupuncture on his back. Today was the first time He Liufeng had ever seen Qu Qingxi administer acupuncture to him.
With a tense face and a serious expression, quite different from his usual slightly lazy demeanor, He Liufeng stared at Qu Qingxi openly.
After Qu Qingxi finished inserting the last needle, she glanced at He Liufeng and said, "He Liufeng, if you keep staring at me like that, I'll stick the next needle right into your eye."
"You won't." He Liufeng knew that Qu Qingxi was just trying to scare him, and smiled frankly.
"You seem to know me quite well." Qu Qingxi put away the remaining silver needles, casually pulled up a chair, and sat down in front of the bed.
"Qingxi, could you please not leave here for the time being?" Today is the last time for acupuncture treatment. He Liufeng was unsure when Qu Qingxi would tell him. He had been on tenterhooks these past few days. After much thought, he wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Qu Qingxi.
"Huh? Why?" Qu Qingxi didn't expect He Liufeng to suddenly say this to her.
"I want to ask you what your plans are after you leave here. Even if there is a divorce agreement, the outside world's comments will probably be very harsh. I know that your relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion is not good, and you certainly won't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"I'm not sure. I'll probably travel around first, and then find a place I like to open a clinic to make a living." Qu Qingxi hadn't really figured out what she would do after leaving this place.
After all, she had been living here ever since she transmigrated here, and she was very familiar with this place. It was indeed a bit difficult to get used to leaving suddenly. As for what she just said about opening a clinic to make a living, that was nonsense.
Just the things in her space alone amount to half the national treasury, the treasury of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, plus her income during this period, even if she ate and drank extravagantly every day, she could never spend it all in her lifetime.
“Qingxi, if you’re willing, why don’t you stay? You have a divorce agreement and are free. But your medical skills are excellent, and I would like to ask you to be my doctor.” He Liufeng said sincerely. He didn’t know how to get Qu Qingxi to stay, so this was the only solution he could come up with for the time being.
“Gu Liangsheng’s medical skills are also very good, and he is more suitable than me.” Qu Qingxi shook her head.
"He wasn't the doctor I hired. He's just here for a look around and could leave at any time. If something really happens, he won't be here..."
"He Liufeng, focus on recovering from your injuries. I won't leave until you're fully healed, so don't worry about it too much," Qu Qingxi interrupted He Liufeng.
"Qingxi, I..." He Liufeng was about to speak when he suddenly felt a metallic taste rise in his throat, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Qu Qingxi suddenly stood up and approached He Liufeng, but He Liufeng seemed to have lost consciousness and fainted.
Qu Qingxi quickly supported He Liufeng's forward-leaning body and laid him down flat. She first checked his pulse and was shocked to find that He Liufeng's blood and qi were surging.
how so?
Qu Qingxi quickly removed all the silver needles from He Liufeng's chest and began taking his pulse again.
The pulse was disordered and the blood and qi were churning, which was clearly a sign of drug incompatibility.
Qu Qingxi frowned, disinfected all the silver needles, and then started inserting the needles again.
Qu Qingxi had a serious expression and inserted the needles very quickly. After finishing the acupuncture, Qu Qingxi took an antidote pill and gave it to He Liufeng.
Upon taking He Liufeng's pulse again, Qu Qingxi noticed that his pulse was gradually becoming stable, and Qu Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief.
The silver needles were quickly removed, and He Liufeng slowly woke up.
"What's wrong with me?" He Liufeng was utterly bewildered when he saw that he had many silver needles stuck in his body.
"That night, the poison on the hidden weapon was related to your madness. The wounds from the hidden weapon on your body hadn't healed yet, and I started to detoxify you from the madness, which is why this situation occurred."
I'm sorry, it was my mistake. I didn't expect these two things to react.
Qu Qingxi's face was also full of confusion and guilt; she had no idea that the two poisons would react.
"It's nothing, don't worry, I'm fine." He Liufeng forced a smile.
Qu Qingxi glanced at He Liufeng, then said, "The two poisons have reacted. I just gave you an antidote pill and used silver needles to temporarily suppress the toxins in your body."
"He Liufeng, next, I will perform acupuncture on you again to clear all the toxins from your body. It may hurt a little, but it won't hurt much, so don't worry."
After Qu Qingxi finished speaking, she started inserting needles again. The silver needles quickly filled He Liufeng's chest. He Liufeng felt very uncomfortable, but it was still within a tolerable range.
Seeing the dense array of silver needles covering his body, He Liufeng felt a chill run down his spine. He turned to look at Qu Qingxi, only to notice that Qu Qingxi's expression was not good.
"What's wrong?" He Liufeng looked at Qu Qingxi with concern.
"It's nothing." Qu Qingxi shook her head. She was just wondering who the person who poisoned He Liufeng with the poison of madness was, and why the man in black that night knew about it.
Qu Qingxi had no doubt about her medical skills, but she disliked the feeling of being played. She knew that He Liufeng's arrogance would be completely resolved after she performed acupuncture today, but this had to happen again.
Qu Qingxi brought back warm water and a soft cloth, and soaked the soft cloth in the water.
Soon, blood began to seep from the bottom of the needle stuck in He Liufeng's chest. It was a deep purple blood. Qu Qingxi looked at the scene indifferently, without the slightest surprise.
The deep purple blood flowed for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before its color slowly returned to normal, turning bright red.
Cold sweat broke out on He Liufeng's forehead. Qu Qingxi wrung out a soft cloth and wiped the sweat from He Liufeng's head. After waiting for the bright red blood to flow for a while, she removed the silver needles.
Instead, she washed a soft cloth and began wiping the bloodstains off He Liufeng's body.
Qu Qingxi's movements were slow and serious. He Liufeng saw her eyelashes fluttering and his heart softened.
After wiping away the bloodstains, Qu Qingxi was about to turn around and throw the soft cloth into the basin when suddenly her waist was grabbed. Qu Qingxi turned her head in surprise and then fell directly onto He Liufeng's chest.
"What are you doing?" Qu Qingxi stared wide-eyed at He Liufeng. Why did he suddenly hug her?
"My wife, it hurts a little, let me hold you for a while." He Liufeng didn't care whether Qu Qingxi would be angry or not. He hugged Qu Qingxi tightly around the waist and held her in his arms. The delicate fragrance instantly filled He Liufeng's breath.
