Chapter 238: Han Yunxi sheds her morals
Things like drawing straws were completely dependent on luck. Han Yunxi’s luck had always been pretty good, but this time… fine, her paper said “First,” while Third Elder’s had said “Later.”
She was first! Now what to do?
When it rains, it pours. Han Yunxi stared at the word on her paper, her slightly pale face completely expressionless. It was hard for anyone to guess what she was thinking. When Third Elder saw her “First,” his lips curled into a smile of satisfaction. He even purposely got out of the way before the bed to give Han Yunxi room.
“Qin Wangfei, please cure the poison!”
“Heheh, will Tianning’s crown prince fully recover after treating the poison?” Lady Lianxin asked with a cold smile. She was waiting for Han Yunxi to admit defeat, but the latter only retorted in her face.
“Obviously, you still need to ask?”
Lady Lianxin gave a start and turned stiff, not knowing how to respond. She could only keep her grievances to herself. Meanwhile, Han Yunxi had already taken large strides to the bed.
“Third Elder, then this junior won’t stand on formalities.”
Both Third Elder and Lady Lianxin exchange glances at Han Yunxi’s stance, finding it unbelievable. They didn’t think that Han Yunxi would really do anything.
“Please proceed,” Third Elder said in a loud voice.
Han Yunxi sat down by the edge of the bed and looked over Long Tianmo from head to foot. Right now, the man was completely exhausted and didn’t thrash about like before. But he seemed to be on his last legs. When Third Elder and Lady Lianxin only saw Han Yunxi looking at the patient without doing a thing, both of them didn’t say a word. As people with upper positions, they still had patience, but they couldn’t help but disapprove of her actions. Fourth Elder didn’t speak either, but stroked his beard as he observed. As for Luo Zuishan and Xi Yubo, both were stuck with their schemes in their own worlds. They didn’t pay any attention to Han Yunxi, since as far as they knew, this girl wouldn’t be able to find a thing.
Gu Beiyue was the closest one to Han Yunxi, but the tightly clasped hands behind his back betrayed his worry despite his serene and quiet expression. Han Yunxi’s reactions just then had left him greatly worried. He knew that something had to be up with this woman. When Han Yunxi was still just sitting there looking at the patient. A while later, Lady Lianxin stopped giving her more time and began to trouble her.
“Qin Wangfei, could it be that your eyes can detoxify poisons?”
But Han Yunxi only continued looked Long Tianmo up and down before replying, “They can.”
Urk…this girl was still so stubborn even when she was at Death’s door.
“Fine, then detoxify as you wish!” Lady Lianxin huffed. Han Yunxi didn’t even spare her a glance, but slipped her hand into her medical pouch to retrieve a set of acupuncture needles. Her soft white hand made a motion to spread out the needle cover across the edge of the bed, revealing a long row of various needles arranged in good order. There had to be at least 1,000 of them. A person’s professionalism was judged first by their outer appearance, especially when the judges were internal experts. This row of acupuncture needles startled everyone present. Gu Beiyue wasn’t an exception, as he never thought that Han Yunxi had such neat needles. Even the absent-minded Luo Zuishan and Xi Yubo spared a glance over. Despite this, everyone kept their shock in their hearts. None of them expressed their surprise, especially Third Elder and Lady Lianxin.
Somehow, the atmosphere had turned extremely quiet.
“Imperial Physician Gu, I’ll need to trouble you to lend a hand,” Han Yunxi said in a low voice.
“Mm.” Gu Beiyue’s heart suddenly calmed down by this point to match his peaceful face. He figured that Han Yunxi must have found a way to control the situation. Indeed, this woman never disappointed.
He assumed that Han Yunxi would have him help with the needles, but she simply said, “Help me strip off all his clothes.”
Everyone present was a doctor, so it was normal for them to have a patient strip. But Han Yunxi had said, ‘all his clothes.’
“This…does this need to be done for detoxifying poisons? Qin Wangfei, you’re a woman!” Lady Lianxin reminded in disbelief. Han Yunxi didn’t bother with her, but signaled Gu Beiyue to hurry up with her eyes. Even he had to hesitate, as this really wasn’t all that appropriate.
“His 20 or so major joints and 201 minor joints have all been afflicted with poison. Expelling it quickly is paramount, so how am I supposed to get rid of the poison without taking off his clothes?” Han Yunxi asked seriously.
At her words, everyone gave in tacitly to the truth of Long Tianmo’s poison. They exchanged glances in silence, but no one moved to refuse her. Now that he understood, Gu Beiyue forgoed the formalities and quickly stripped Long Tianmo, leaving only his underpants on. With that done, Han Yunxi began to search for accurate acupoints on his major joints. Of course, Third Elder couldn’t resist speaking up when she picked up the first needle.
