Chapter 352
Emperor Yuanzhen did not hesitate at all. He took off his outer clothes and sat upright on the couch.
Seeing this, Lord Fang first glanced at Ye Yunzhou, who had stood silently by the side like a door god since entering the hall, and then looked at Luo Shuiyao, who faced this scene without any shyness on her face, and couldn't help but feel curious. But now was not the time to be curious. Seeing Luo Shuiyao approaching with a silver needle, he hurried forward and observed it intently.
He did this not to learn acupuncture, but to shoulder the important task entrusted by Emperor Yuanzhen. He had to pay close attention to every detail of Luo Shuiyao's acupuncture to prevent any situation that would endanger the emperor's dragon body.
The heart of an emperor is unpredictable, and Emperor Yuanzhen's advanced age makes him even more suspicious. He had already undergone multiple treatments, but today was crucial, marking the final day. Despite Luo Shuiyao's impressive medical skills, Emperor Yuanzhen considered her youth and inexperienced, leaving room for error. As a high-ranking official with a deep desire for longevity, he naturally dared not overlook the slightest negligence.
Luo Shuiyao knew Doctor Fang's intentions, so she applied the acupuncture without reservation, displaying her full medical skills. Gradually, her technique became more skillful and swift, and her speed increased.
Doctor Fang was able to observe calmly at first, but as Luo Shuiyao's acupuncture speed increased, the silver needles dart around before his eyes, making him dizzy. Soon, beads of sweat formed on his forehead and rolled down his cheeks. But he didn't bother to wipe them away, his eyes fixed on Luo Shuiyao's nimble hands, afraid to miss a single detail.
As the acupuncturist, Luo Shuiyao's nerves were even more intense than Doctor Fang's. Even as sweat streamed into her eyes, she dared not blink, fearing that a single mistake would ruin her entire treatment. Just then, a large hand reached out, holding a handkerchief. Gently and swiftly, it carefully wiped the sweat from Luo Shuiyao's face, fearing to disturb her intense concentration on the acupuncture.
Two incense sticks passed, and by then, Emperor Yuanzhen's body was covered in silver needles. Standing on the ground, he could see the needles spread all over his body, starting from his head. Under the light, the dense mass of needles exuded a terrifying aura.
At this time, Emperor Yuanzhen had fallen into a coma due to the effects of the medicine.
Luo Shuiyao breathed a sigh of relief after administering the last injection. As she breathed a sigh of relief, she could no longer control her weakened legs and fell to the ground.
Doctor Fang and Eunuch Su were startled and just as they were about to reach out to help, a figure flashed by like lightning and steadily took Luo Shuiyao, who was about to fall, into their arms. "Yaoyao, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Shuiyao shook her head. The black dust that had previously stained her face had been wiped off. Her fair face was now completely bloodless, and she was obviously exhausted. "I'm fine. Give me a glass of water."
These simple words miraculously calmed Ye Yunzhou's inner anxiety. He picked her up and sat her down beside him, then quickly poured her a glass of water. He half-knelt on the ground, holding the cup, and let Luo Shuiyao sip the tea from his hand.
Because of his swift movements, Ye Yunzhou naturally overlooked the glass of water that Eunuch Su had already poured when he heard Luo Shuiyao ask for a drink. Seeing this, Eunuch Su curled his lips and put the cup down. He had been mentally prepared, but this scene startled Doctor Fang.
Doctor Fang looked at Ye Yunzhou with suspicion. As a trusted confidant of His Majesty, he had encountered Ye Yunzhou frequently. While he couldn't claim to know Ye Yunzhou intimately, he knew he was known to be cold and ruthless. But the scene before him was truly alarming. He couldn't help but wonder, could this man be possessed by some demon?
Perhaps Doctor Fang's expression was too horrified, as Eunuch Su, standing by, saw it clearly. Eunuch Su leaned over to Doctor Fang and whispered, "Don't make a fuss. Even a hero can be tempted by a beautiful woman."
Doctor Fang ignored him, his face filled with astonishment for a long moment before he quietly put away his surprise. Unlike Eunuch Su, he simply sighed inwardly: "This change is too great."
After drinking the water and taking a break, Luo Shuiyao's face gradually regained its color, and she felt like she had regained her vitality. She shook her sore and weak hands, stood up, and carefully took the pulse of Emperor Yuan Zhen. After that, her eyes fell on the left chest of Emperor Yuan Zhen, where a dark color had gradually gathered. Luo Shuiyao observed quietly until the dark color became more and more intense, as eye-catching as a black mole, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. "Now, all the toxins in your majesty's body have gathered in your chest. It's time to remove the toxins."
Doctor Fang followed her gaze and witnessed this rather miraculous scene. He hesitantly asked, "Young lady, have you gathered all the poison into His Majesty's chest? However, this place is close to His Majesty's heart meridian. Opening the wound and releasing the poison is too risky. If we're not careful, we could injure His Majesty's dragon body."
Luo Shuiyao pursed her lips, revealing a faint smile as she explained, "There's no need to make a large wound. Use a silver needle to prick it, and then use a cupping jar to draw out the poison. This won't harm Your Majesty's heart meridian."
Doctor Fang followed her line of thought and pondered it for a moment, his eyes instantly lighting up: "Great! So, can this method be used for all poisons of this type?"
Luo Shuiyao nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course you can. The methods for dealing with this kind of poison are generally the same."
Doctor Fang's face lit up with joy, and he immediately lowered his dignity and bowed solemnly to Luo Shuiyao. Luo Shuiyao was about to speak to stop him, but he spoke first, "I bow to thank you for your teaching. But now is not the time to say more. Let's absorb the poison for His Majesty first."
After hearing his words, Luo Shuiyao naturally had nothing more to say. She turned around and disinfected herself with the wine she had prepared. She then took out a three-edged needle and, with swift movements, thrust it into the center of Emperor Yuan Zhen's chest, where the poison had gathered. This three-edged needle was different from other silver needles. It was thicker, triangular in shape, and hollow in the middle. It was often used to stimulate acupuncture points and draw blood for treatment. It was perfect for puncturing the poison.
The poisonous blood slowly flowed out along the silver needle. Luo Shuiyao observed and felt that the time was almost up. She raised her hand to take the cupping jar handed to her by Doctor Fang, pulled out the needle with one hand, and quickly placed the cupping jar on Emperor Yuanzhen's chest with the other hand.
The temperature of the cupping jar was quite high, and even though Emperor Yuanzhen was in a coma, he couldn't help but groan.
Luo Shuiyao looked calm, not at all flustered. Doctor Fang and Eunuch Su were instantly alarmed when they heard the muffled groan. They hurried forward to observe, fearing that Luo Shuiyao might injure Emperor Yuanzhen's body if she was careless.
