Chapter 6 - Poisoned Due to Mutual Restriction of Food (2/2)

“It’s a kind of poison used in ancient courts, isn’t it?” Jiang Ruo-qing asked modestly. She thought what he said was very peculiar.

“Yes, indeed. The recipe of Duanchang San contains several Chinese herbal medicines. They become highly toxic when mixed up. Now that Chinese herbal medicines combined can become poisonous, let alone crays and vitamin C?” Lin Qi said slowly: “Many things in this world cannot be taken together, such as anti-cold medicine and cola, or sweet potato and persimmon, they cannot be taken together…”

“I see.” Jiang Ruo-qing was suddenly enlightened: “The so-called ‘method of attacking poison with poison’depends on interactions between ingredients, right?”

“That’s almost what you said. But Miss Su was born with poor health, and has had nothing for several days, so her intestines and stomach haven’t recuperated yet. Now she is poisoned, it’s really like adding frost to snow!”

“So are you sure you can cure her?” Jiang Ruo-qing glanced at Lin Qi and wondered why she trusted this intern, perhaps because he could explain the thing neither Senior Long nor she could understand.

“The treatment has been delayed for too long a time, so I’m not sure whether I can cure her. Moreover, I’m just a security guard.” Lin Qi’s words meant more.

It was this woman who indiscriminately relegated him to security, how could he not be angry?

“Whatever happens, treat the patient at once!” Jiang Ruo-qing gave a cold look, putting on airs as the directress again, apathetic and prideful.

But for Lin Qi’s wrongly sent message, he could not have known that this woman was very passionate under her cold mask.

Lin Qi looked at her, and his eyes flashed: “It will be ok for me to treat her, but I have a request.”

Jiang Ruo-qing said coldly: “If you want to become a full member, I’ll arrange it at once after the treatment. This can be regarded as your compensation for your previous mistake.”

Make up for his previous mistake?

For what previous mistake had he made?

Lin Qi looked at her arrogant face and brilliant lips, abruptly said: “Kiss me if I cure her.”

“What?” Jiang Ruo-qing was stunned.

Usually, nobody dared to be disrespectful to her, and people would stammer when they saw her.

She was totally unexpected that Lin Qi was so daring as to make such a request.

Jiang Ruo-qing’s charming body quivered. She pointed to Lin Qi ashamed and angry, unable to say a word. However, the blush on her face was like rosy clouds in the sky, which made one highly delighted.

Senior Long and Liu Jiang-wei finally came after they tidied themselves. When they saw Jiang Ruo-qing’s face, they were dumbfounded at once. They had never seen Jiang Ruo-qing blushing like this, which really dwarfed all flowers.

In fact, Lin Qi just wanted to get Jiang Ruo-qing off her high horse, and made her experience the feeling of anger. Even if she refused, Lin Qi would treat the patient at once.

“You, you…” Jiang Ruo-qing’s face flushed, and she thought over for quite a while, and said with her teeth gnashed: “I can promise to kiss you as long as you can cure her. But if you fail, I’ll throw you into jail!”

Lin Qi was startled a moment. He didn’t expect that she would accept. He took out the silver needles quickly and said with a smile: “Keep what you said…”

Those were his grandfather’s silver needles. Lin got them when he left home to study afar.

Lin Qi disinfected the needles. Without looking at them, he took one needle and punctured it in Su Ming-yue’s body.

And the needle seemed to have a soul, quivering slightly after landing on Su Ming-yue’s body. The shadows of the needle seemed to follow a particular trajectory, which was very mysterious.

“This is… Huiyang needle on nine acupoints?” Senior Long’s facial expression suddenly changed. Trembling with excitement, he widened his eyes and said: “Is this actually the legendary Huiyang needles on nine acupoints?”

Senior Long had read about this acupuncture therapy from an ancient remnant scroll. The therapy had nine needles totally, which was extremely mysterious. It was said that it could save anyone from death as long as he had one breath left.

But unfortunately, the remnant only recorded the first three needles. They seemed very simple but actually were extremely complicated. The depth, the strength and the location of the acupuncture were even more mysterious. He observed it over and over again for nearly ten years, but only understood the first needle till now.

“Huiyang needles on nine acupoints, dividing Yin and Yangon with the first needle!” Lin Qi punctured the needle in Su’s body and took out the second needle, and yelled in a low voice: “The second needle, vibrate every artery and vein!”
