He initially thought the master was just trying to comfort him, but his elder brother insisted, so he went along with it. On the night of his wedding, he suddenly suffered a relapse of the poison. His princess consort found some silver needles from somewhere and gave him a few acupuncture needles, which miraculously relieved his pain.
Later, she directly said that she could cure her poison, on the condition that after the cure, she would receive a divorce agreement and a sum of money as payment.
At the time, these two conditions posed absolutely no difficulty for He Liufeng, and he had no reason to refuse.
"Yes, two times will be enough. If it's possible today, we can start tonight. However, this time it will be more painful than last time, and you may be dizzy for a whole day and night. So, make arrangements now, and by the way, have someone tell the Emperor that you will not be able to attend court tomorrow."
Qu Qingxi told He Liufeng about what might happen.
"Okay." He Liufeng nodded.
He called Ling Mu in and arranged everything.
Just as He Liufeng was about to take off his clothes, Qu Qingxi called out to him, "Go to your room. You can't lie on the soft couch in the study for a whole day and night, can you?"
"It was my oversight," He Liufeng said with a light smile.
The two then went to He Liufeng's courtyard.
He Liufeng took off his shirt, revealing his strong and broad back, and sat cross-legged on the bed with his back to Qu Qingxi.
"Are you ready? I'm about to begin." Qu Qingxi stared at the person in front of her.
"Yes, I'm ready." He Liufeng's voice carried a hint of determination.
Just as He Liufeng was preparing to endure the pain, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, then lost consciousness and fainted. Qu Qingxi helped He Liufeng lie face down on the bed.
She knew that this acupuncture treatment would be extremely painful. If she didn't knock He Liufeng unconscious, he might unconsciously do something uncontrollable during the treatment, such as harming himself to suppress the pain.
Qu Qingxi had to concentrate on administering the acupuncture, and simply didn't have the extra energy to deal with anything else. It would be easier to just knock He Liufeng unconscious.
Setting her own silver needles aside, Qu Qingxi took out silver needles directly from her spatial storage and began applying acupuncture.
Qu Qingxi was always vigilant. The silver needles she kept outside were used to deceive others. She was worried that someone might tamper with the silver needles, so she usually used the silver needles from her spatial storage when performing acupuncture.
This time, the acupuncture was performed much slower than before. Qu Qingxi squinted at everything in front of her, not daring to relax her hands in the slightest. Half an hour later, Qu Qingxi finally finished inserting all the silver needles.
Soon, the silver needles on He Liufeng's back began to tremble, and gradually, black blood began to seep from the places where the needles were inserted.
After about half an hour, the silver needles stopped trembling, and the black blood turned bright red.
Upon seeing the red blood, Qu Qingxi began removing the needles, in the exact opposite order of inserting them, but much faster. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the silver needles that had covered her back were removed.
Qu Qingxi broke out in a cold sweat. Acupuncture was a very tiring thing. Qu Qingxi took a short break, found a soft cloth, and gently wiped away the black blood on He Liufeng's back.
After waiting for about an hour, Qu Qingxi helped He Liufeng turn over and lie flat on the bed. She then inserted several needles into He Liufeng's chest, and the acupuncture treatment was finally completed.
After disinfecting the silver needles and storing them in her spatial storage, Qu Qingxi felt extremely tired, but she couldn't rest yet. She had just finished acupuncturing He Liufeng and needed to observe whether his body had any other abnormal reactions.
Qu Qingxi casually dragged a chair over and placed it by the bed. She covered He Liufeng with a blanket, then took his wrist and began to take his pulse.
The pulse has stabilized, and there seems to be no other abnormal reaction.
Qu Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if all her strength had been released, and suddenly felt extremely tired.
Qu Qingxi knew very well how difficult this poison was to cure. In fact, she wasn't 100% sure. Back in modern times, she had only seen the antidote for this poison in her family's medical books. Later, out of curiosity, she asked her teacher to explain it to her in detail, and that's when she understood.
I never expected that the first time I would use my medical skills here would be with this kind of poison.
Looking at He Liufeng's face, which was almost as rosy as normal, Qu Qingxi couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps this was what fate was, or rather, everything was predetermined.
After waiting for more than an hour, Qu Qingxi took He Liufeng's pulse again. He was still perfectly normal, and Qu Qingxi was finally relieved. She originally wanted to find a soft couch to sleep on, but after searching for a long time, she found that He Liufeng's room only had a bed and no soft couch at all.
However, it was absolutely impossible for Qu Qingxi to sit in a chair all night. A person cannot stretch out in a chair, and their limbs would probably be useless when they got up the next day.
Seeing He Liufeng's steady breathing, Qu Qingxi had an idea. She pushed He Liufeng further in and made room for him. Anyway, He Liufeng's bed was big, so even if she pushed He Liufeng in and then lay down herself, she wouldn't crowd him at all.
Qu Qingxi didn't take off her clothes and just lay down fully clothed. Anyway, He Liufeng wouldn't wake up anytime soon, so she could just sleep here and leave before He Liufeng woke up.
Lying down, Qu Qingxi realized how comfortable He Liufeng's bed was. "Hiss," she sighed comfortably, pulled He Liufeng's blanket over herself, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Qu Qingxi focused on acupuncture yesterday and stayed up so late. Plus, the bed was very comfortable, so she slept very soundly for a while.
He Liufeng gave instructions yesterday, so no one came to disturb us today.
Even when the sun was high in the sky, Qu Qingxi still hadn't woken up. Instead, He Liufeng's eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. Noticing someone beside him, he turned his head slightly and saw Qu Qingxi lying next to him, sleeping soundly. The two of them were even covered with the same blanket, creating an extremely warm and cozy atmosphere.
He wanted to reach out and pull the blanket back up for Qu Qingxi, but he couldn't resist the exhaustion of his internal energy, and his hands and feet ached and he was too weak, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, the person beside him was gone, and the blanket was completely covering him.
Having slept for too long, He Liufeng was momentarily dazed. He slowly got up and quickly realized that something was wrong with his body. The pain that had been lingering in his body had now completely disappeared.
He Liufeng tried to use his internal energy again and found that there was no resistance at all. He Liufeng was overjoyed. Could it be that his residual poison was gone?
No, there should be more. Qu Qingxi said that we need to do another acupuncture treatment.
Right, he vaguely remembered that he had opened his eyes once before and saw Qu Qingxi lying on the same bed with him.
