Ren Yuan nodded, looking at Yun Duoduo with some doubt. He held the corn plasters in his hand and walked outside, looking at the novel things in his hand.
This thing was actually pasted on.
Can I get better without medication?
Well, there's no other way, so I might as well trust her this once. This thing stuck to my foot really does feel strange.
Yun Duoduo listened to Ren Yuan's doubts and shook her head helplessly.
...
Yun Duoduo stared blankly at the large flatbread on the table, hesitating whether to try it or not. She had never eaten a flatbread that was so dry before.
Even back in the harsh and cold northern frontier, with Jin Jinzhi protecting her, she had never eaten anything so unpalatable.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, I need you to come over."
The newcomer was a guard beside Xi Jing. He was expressionless and dressed in black, giving off a very oppressive feeling.
His tone of voice was also very flat, without any emotion.
"Wait a moment."
Yun Duoduo went under the bed, took out silver needles from the medicine box underneath, and carried them with her.
She knew that Xi Chu had suffered a defeat, and Xi Jing must be in a bad mood right now, and might very well take his anger out on her.
To dispel his anger and resentment, she had to treat his illness and distract him.
Yun Duoduo followed the guard to the main hall where Xi Jing was, and the two did not exchange a single word the whole way.
The palace of Western Chu was very large. Unlike the palace in Nanyang, the palace was decorated in an extravagant style, with all kinds of jewelry and jade used. Even the palace paths frequented by nobles were covered with thick carpets.
The carpet looks very clean; it seems to be cleaned regularly every day.
[Tsk tsk tsk, what a waste.]
[Daily Question: When will Western Chu go bankrupt?]
Hearing footsteps, Xi Jing merely turned his head and glanced sideways at Yun Duoduo, his eyes filled with displeasure.
As expected, the big madman is in a bad mood.
As soon as Yun Duoduo saw Xi Jing's expression, she knew she needed to be careful with her words and actions.
"Although Nanyang won the battle, it was by underhanded means!" Xi Jing sneered.
"If it's a real fight, Nanyang definitely can't win," Xi Jing said confidently.
Yun Duoduo subtly pursed her lips.
With your brother Jinzhi around, how could you possibly win a battle?
"Tell me, was it your bad idea?"
Xi Jing's sinister eyes stared at Yun Duoduo, who felt as if he might jump up at any moment and grab her by the neck.
"Dirty tricks? What kind of dirty tricks?"
Yun Duoduo frowned, her expression innocent, feigning ignorance.
"You really don't know?"
Xi Jing looked at Yun Duoduo with suspicion.
"What do you know? What am I supposed to know? What are you talking about? It's all so nonsensical." Yun Duoduo snorted a few times in annoyance.
Xi Jing stared at her for a while, then coughed loudly.
"Look at you."
Yun Duoduo shook her head helplessly, took out the bag containing the silver needles, and laid it flat on the table.
"What are you trying to do?" Xi Jing looked at Yun Duoduo with a puzzled expression.
"Of course it's to cure your illness!"
Yun Duoduo looked at the silver needles on the table and selected those of suitable thickness and length.
Looking at the dozens of silver needles, Xi Jing felt a sense of resistance and unconsciously shrank back.
"Oh, the mighty King of Western Chu, are you afraid of needles?!"
Yun Duoduo made no attempt to hide the mockery in her eyes.
Xi Jing was immediately displeased upon hearing this, and he craned his neck: "You, who are you saying is afraid?!"
"I am the King of Western Chu!"
Yun Duoduo ignored Xi Jing's clamor.
"Don't move, I'll give you acupuncture."
Yun Duoduo grabbed Xi Jing's shoulder and plunged the silver needle into him.
The expected pain did not come. Xi Jing looked at Yun Duoduo with some surprise: "It doesn't seem to hurt that much."
Yun Duoduo glanced at him indifferently: "Who said that getting acupuncture needles will always hurt?"
"Can this really cure my cough?" Xi Jing looked at Yun Duoduo with suspicion.
"You don't understand this, do you? The location of the meridians determines the extent of their therapeutic effects."
"The first choice is the acupoints on the Taiyin Lung Meridian."
"Coughing is closely related to the lungs."
"This is the Shaoshang acupoint."
Yun Duoduo pinched the spot 0.1cm from the base of Xi Jing's thumbnail and pressed down hard. Then she pricked it with a silver needle and began to bleed.
The moment Xi Jing was touched by Yun Duoduo, her eyes flickered slightly.
"Your Majesty!"
The guards beside Xi Jing were anxious when they saw blood flowing from Xi Jing's fingertips.
Yun Duoduo calmly glanced at the guard: "Don't worry, your king won't die. This bloodletting is just the first step."
"Once I've finished treating your king, he'll stop coughing!"
Yun Duoduo watched the blood drip down, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, I'm clever; bloodletting at this acupoint can treat acute, febrile coughs, and the effect is excellent.
"This is the Yuji acupoint."
After the bloodletting, Yun Duoduo pressed hard on the Yuji acupoint.
Yun Duoduo kept talking and pressing, but Xi Jing's attention had already wandered far away, letting Yun Duoduo press all over his body.
After working for an hour, Yun Duoduo was covered in sweat.
Xi Jing miraculously felt that her throat was no longer itchy, she no longer wanted to cough, and she was no longer sweating. It seemed that her symptoms had really lessened a lot.
He looked at Yun Duoduo with surprise: "I never expected you to be so capable!"
"That's right!"
Yun Duoduo clapped her hands, wiped the sweat from her forehead, cleaned the silver needles, and put them away.
"Ouch, I'm so hungry..." Yun Duoduo clutched her stomach, looking uncomfortable.
"Go to the imperial kitchen and fetch the best food to send to the princess!"
Xi Jing was very happy, and the resentment he had originally felt towards Yun Duoduo because of the victory in Nanyang disappeared.
At this moment, he truly acknowledged Yun Duoduo's medical skills from the bottom of his heart.
...
In the Western Sea, under a bright moon and sparse stars, enemy troops were gradually approaching the Zhenbei Army's camp.
Inside the main tent of the Zhenbei Army camp, Jin Jinzhi was not asleep. Instead, he was wearing armor, holding his sword, and looking at a map.
"Your Highness, it seems that the soldiers of Western Chu are slowly surrounding the military camp."
Jin Jinzhi nodded and waved his hand, indicating that everything should proceed according to plan.
"kill!"
The once silent night sky was suddenly filled with the deafening sounds of battle.
The soldiers of Western Chu stormed into the Zhenbei military camp, brandishing their broadswords, eager to avenge their previous humiliation.
Just then, the previously dark Zhenbei military camp was suddenly lit up with torches, and the soldiers, fully equipped and ready to go, rode out in unison from behind the tents.
The soldiers of Western Chu were stunned. Someone shouted, "Oh no! We've been ambushed! Run!"
"Closing the door to beat the dog!"
