He Liufeng's fingertips were warm, and Qu Qingxi felt the warmth. She turned to look at the person beside her, and saw He Liufeng staring at her intently. Qu Qingxi met He Liufeng's deep eyes and was slightly startled.
His eyes were like water, gentle and clear, like a spring of clear water. The dark thoughts that had just arisen in Qu Qingxi's heart seemed to be stripped away in an instant.
"He Liufeng." Qu Qingxi suddenly wrapped her arms around He Liufeng's neck, pressed her head tightly against his neck, and whispered his name, her voice filled with a hint of fragility and tenderness.
"Hmm?" He Liufeng also hugged Qu Qingxi's slender waist tightly. Only then did he realize that Qu Qingxi's body was actually ice cold.
The person in his arms was soft and gentle, and He Liufeng's heart felt as if it had been struck hard. His originally tender heart shattered into a pool of clear water, filled with the image of Qu Qingxi.
"Nothing, I just wanted to hug you." He Liufeng's embrace was warm. Qu Qingxi closed her eyes, somewhat captivated by the moment. This cozy atmosphere gradually calmed Qu Qingxi's somewhat agitated mood, and her whole body warmed up.
After cuddling for a while, hot water was quickly brought in, and the two of them took a bath before preparing to rest.
However, just as the two closed their eyes, they heard hurried footsteps outside, followed by rapid and chaotic knocking on the door.
"What's wrong?" He Liufeng glanced at Qu Qingxi, then looked outside.
"Your Highness, Qingzhu has suddenly developed a fever, and Doctor Gu is unable to help her. Therefore, I would like to request that the Princess Consort come over." Qingdai's flustered voice rang out from outside.
Originally, she and Qingzhu were just bodyguards, so even if they died today, it wouldn't matter. But Qingdai still couldn't help but ask Qu Qingxi to go and take a look.
The princess's medical skills are so high, she must have a solution. Besides, the princess is kind-hearted, so she probably won't blame her for bothering her so late at night, right?
"I'm coming right away," Qu Qingxi replied, turning over to get up and starting to dress. He Liufeng also got up.
When the two arrived at Qingzhu's room, they saw that Qingzhu's face was flushed with an abnormal redness. Because Qingzhu's back was seriously injured, she was lying face down on the bed, her head covered in sweat, and even her hair was soaked.
Seeing that only Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng came in, Gu Liangsheng, who was standing to the side, was also a little anxious. "He Liufeng, now is not the time to hide things. I think only the divine doctor who saved you can save Qingzhu now."
He Liufeng had never told Gu Liangsheng that the so-called miracle doctor was actually his princess, Qu Qingxi, so although Gu Liangsheng was curious, he never found out anything.
He Liufeng looked at Qu Qingxi, who nodded without saying a word and went straight to take Qingzhu's pulse.
Seeing this, Gu Liangsheng was stunned. Qu Qingxi could take pulses?
Gu Liangsheng wanted to step forward and stop Qu Qingxi from causing trouble at this moment, but he noticed He Liufeng's expression and Qingdai's obvious relief when she saw Qu Qingxi step forward.
Gu Liangsheng belatedly realized that Qu Qingxi's medical skills must be very high, at least much better than his. However, Qu Qingxi was still so young. Moreover, what kind of life did Qu Qingxi lead in the Prime Minister's mansion? How could she possibly have had the opportunity to become an apprentice and learn medicine?
Seeing that He Liufeng and Qingdai clearly trusted Qu Qingxi, Gu Liangsheng wisely kept quiet and simply watched everything unfold before him.
After taking Qingzhu's pulse, Qu Qingxi understood what was going on. She first used silver needles to prick Qingzhu's head and back, then walked to the side, wrote down a long list of medicine names, and handed the paper to Qingdai.
"Go down and boil it, then feed it to Qingzhu."
Seeing how fast Qu Qingxi was inserting the needles, Gu Liangsheng's eyes widened. He wanted to speak up and stop her, but Qu Qingxi had already inserted all the needles.
Seeing that Qingzhu was not in any abnormality, and even that the sweat on her face had lessened, Gu Liangsheng could hardly hide his shock. He quickly walked to the other side and looked at the silver needles on Qingzhu's body. Upon closer inspection, Gu Liangsheng discovered that the silver needles were precisely inserted into the acupoints.
Seeing that Qingzhu was feeling a bit better, Qu Qingxi took a handkerchief from the side and gently wiped the sweat from Qingzhu's head.
Apart from instructing Qingdai to brew the medicine, Qu Qingxi hadn't said a word, her eyes unusually calm. Compared to Qingzhu, He Liufeng was more worried about Qu Qingxi at this moment.
Her eyes were devoid of joy or sorrow, exceptionally calm, and even all her movements were swift and clean.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qingzhu's complexion had basically returned to normal. The abnormal flush was gone, and she was almost no longer sweating. She was still unconscious.
None of the three spoke. Gu Liangsheng was even more curious about Qu Qingxi at this moment. He never expected that Qu Qingxi's medical skills would be so superb. Moreover, her acupuncture skills were the most impressive. The speed and precision of her needle insertion were simply breathtaking.
Gu Liangsheng glanced at the prescription Qu Qingxi had written and confirmed that there were no problems with the medicine. In fact, there were a few ingredients that were added very appropriately, which he himself had not thought of at the time.
Gu Liangsheng stared at Qu Qingxi, and even began to suspect that Qu Qingxi was the miracle doctor who cured He Liufeng.
The medicine would take a while to brew. When Qingdai brought the medicine back, she saw the three of them sitting there. Qu Qingxi kept an eye on Qingzhu on the bed, He Liufeng stared at Qu Qingxi, and Gu Liangsheng also glanced at Qu Qingxi from time to time.
"Your Highness, the medicine has arrived, but Qingzhu is still unconscious. How are we going to feed it to her?" Qingdai looked at Qu Qingxi with some helplessness.
"Go and find a clean bamboo tube about the thickness of a finger."
"Yes." Although Qingdai was a little confused, she still went to look for it.
This time, Qingdai returned quickly and handed the bamboo tube to Qu Qingxi, "Your Highness, is this alright?"
"Okay, help her up."
Qingdai carefully helped Qingzhu up. The wounds on Qingzhu's body were so frightening that Qingdai didn't know where to start to avoid touching Qingzhu's wounds.
After Qingdai helped Qingzhu up, Qu Qingxi pinched Qingzhu's cheeks, forcing Qingzhu to open her mouth. Qu Qingxi carefully inserted the bamboo tube into Qingzhu's mouth, making sure that the end inside was about to reach Qingzhu's throat. Qu Qingxi then reached out to He Liufeng, signaling her to bring the medicine over.
He Liufeng understood and handed the medicine to Qu Qingxi. The medicine, after being cooled for a while, was no longer hot, but lukewarm, just right.
The medicine was slowly poured into the bamboo tube, and not a single drop spilled.
Gu Liangsheng, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. Was this even possible?
Seeing Qu Qingxi feed Qingzhu the entire bowl of medicine without spilling a drop, Gu Liangsheng was shocked once again, and then his face lit up with joy.
