Chapter 129: Detoxifying The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (2/2)

“Hm.” Murong Xue nodded. She had thought maybe because Old Prince Jing’s condition had worsened so he would pass out. She thought if she did acupuncture, gave give him a massage to activate the blood, he would wake up, and then she could easily cancel the engagement. She never expected he had been poisoned, which made things complicated now.

“Seriously?” asked Ye Yichen suspiciously.

Even doctor Sun from the Imperial Academy of Medicine who had practiced medicine for several decades hadn’t diagnosed that his father had been poisoned. How could Murong Xue who only read a few medical books tell that…

“Why would I lie to you?” Murong Xue glared at him and said crossly, “If you don’t believe me, you can check on his neck…”

Ye Yichen moved before the bed incredulously. He lowered his head and noticed that there were three looming black vertical stripes on his father’s neck. No one would notice it if he didn’t observe it carefully…

His father indeed got poisoned!

Ye Yichen squeezed his sharp eyes, “How did my father get poisoned?” Who had the guts to poison his father?

“I don’t know.” Murong Xue shook her head.

Ye Yichen then asked, “Don’t you know medical skills? Feel his pulses and see what kind of poison it is.”

“Even Doctor Sun could not, how could I?” said Murong Xue randomly.

Actually she was from modern times and also had learnt modern poison. Telling what poison it was through looking, listening, questioning and feeling the pulses belonged to traditional Chinese medicine, which she had never learnt before. She could only tell how many times one’s pulse beat in a minute. How could she tell what kind of poison it was through feeling the pulses…

Looking at her knitted brows, Ye Yichen didn’t know why he felt so happy and put on an unnoticeable smile, “If you can’t save my father, according to the bet we have made before, you should hold the Warding-off Wedding with me.”

Although the Warding-off Wedding couldn’t save his father since his father passed out because of poison but not because of the old worsened disease, they still had to hold it since their bet had come into effect.

“Who said I can’t save him?” Murong Xue snickered, then took out a small cloth bag out of her sleeve. She quickly rolled it out, exposing a pile of silver needles, glittering.

Maybe she didn’t know what kind of poison it was. But she could categorize it through the color of his lips, the color of his face, etc., and then she could use corresponding acupuncture of that category to detoxify him. Even if she couldn’t save him, at least she could bring him to life temporarily.

Murong Xue pulled out a thin and long silver needle, which was glittering with cold light under the sun.

Ye Yichen narrowed his eyes. He had kind of bad feeling. His subconsciousness told him to stop her. But Murong Xue already pulled off the quilt and punctured the silver needle into the acupoint in his father’s chest…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The silver needles were punctured into his chest one after another, forming an oval shape. Murong Xue turned to a servant beside, “Hold Old Prince Jing up.”

“Yes!” The servant nodded. Then he moved before the bed and carefully held Old Prince Jing up.

Murong Xue took an empty bowl and put it under the chest of Old Prince Jing. Then he cut slightly on his chest with a dagger. Then a stream of black blood squirted out of the wound…
