Seeing that Su Qing had returned, Yeluchun quickly cupped his hands. “Have you found her?”
“No, I’ll treat your mother first.”
Su Qing was a person of few words and did not explain who she was looking for. She did not even explain why she was wearing the uniform of a Tartan soldier.
Yeluchun smiled helplessly. When he was in Luo City, he had already felt that this girl was different. She always kept people at arm’s length like a block of ice.
However, everyone had a temper. As long as she could cure Mother’s illness, nothing else mattered.
Before he left, Yeluchun looked worriedly at the Second Prince’s camp. In the end, a hint of determination flashed across his eyes. He no longer cared about the battle between the two princes and turned around to walk in giant strides toward Mother’s yurt.
Su Qing noticed something was wrong with Yeluchun’s expression but did not ask any more questions. She was taking the money to treat the illness and then leaving.
If this Yeluchun wanted to harm her, he would be courting death.
Yeluchun brought Su Qing to a large yurt. Compared to the yurt of the Second Prince and the First Prince, this yurt seemed somewhat shabby, but it was still much larger than the yurts that ordinary people lived in.
Yeluchun opened the thick curtain and invited Su Qing into the yurt. The temperature inside was still acceptable, and she could still feel the chill from the cold outside.
The furnishings of the yurts were very simple and unadorned. They were low-key but not shabby. They looked exquisite. There was a stove in the middle of the floor, and a teapot was placed on top of the stove, giving off steam.
On the left side of the yurt, a woman was lying on a soft mattress. She was skinny and lying on the soft bed, almost made of animal skin. At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed. If not for the slight rise and fall of her chest, one would think she was dead.
Yeluchun looked at the woman with heartache and pleaded with Su Qing,
“This is my mother; please treat her properly.”
He had placed all his hopes on Su Qing. If she couldn’t cure Mother, then………………………………………………………….
Yeluchun didn’t dare to imagine how painful it would be to lose his mother!
“Yes.”
Su Qing only snorted lightly. She did not promise that she would be able to cure her, nor did she say how difficult it was to cure her. She was afraid that she would be powerless!
Seeing that she only snorted lightly, Yeluchun felt relieved.
These days, he had also found a few doctors to treat his mother. Every doctor shook their head when they saw his mother’s condition, telling him immortals had difficulty curing her.
Yeluchun was burning with anxiety. Su Qing had become his last hope.
Now that he sees Su Qing’s calm expression, it is evident that she has an idea. His hanging heart was relieved.
Su Qing walked to the soft couch and looked at the woman on it. She seemed to be in her forties. Although she had been tortured by illness, her facial features could still be seen. She was once a stunning beauty, but the spider-like lines on her face were terrifying.
At this moment, her face and lips were pale. Her breathing was weak, and she looked about to die.
Su Qing sat on the soft couch and placed her hand on the woman’s wrist to take her pulse.
One of the maidservants guarding the woman panicked when she saw Su Qing sitting on the soft couch. She looked at Yelvchun and shouted anxiously,
“Three…”
Yeluchun raised his eyes and looked at her indifferently. The servant girl was so frightened that she quickly shut her mouth. However, she was so anxious that she frowned and looked at Su Qing warily.
When Su Qing took her pulse, she felt the woman’s pulse was so weak that it was almost undetectable. Her vital pulse was almost completely closed, and her heart pulse was weak and powerless…
Her expression gradually turned solemn, and Yeluchun’s heart suddenly sank. Even the divine doctor was not confident in curing Mother?
“Your mother’s body is heavily poisoned, and this poison isn’t just a day or two old. She should have been treated before and used other poisonous medicines to restrain this poison. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to live until now.”
Su Qing looked up at Yeluchun. Presumably, he knew what was going on.
Shock flashed in Yeluchun’s eyes. He looked at Su Qing with respect. Just by taking the pulse, she knew Mother had been poisoned in her early years and had been given excellent medical attention.
“I wonder if the divine doctor can save my mother?”
Yeluchun asked Su Qing with hope. Most doctors could treat the disease as long as they could diagnose it.
“I can only give it a try. 1 can’t guarantee it because the medicine that suppresses the poison has already lost its suppressive power. After being gnawed by the poison, it will neutralize and form an even more poisonous poison.”
Su Qing told the truth. She didn’t want to take responsibility. Someone who could poison a woman was not an ordinary person. This kind of poison was called Ghostly Face Grass and didn’t exist in the Central Plains.
When the disease started, the abdominal pain would be like twisting, but not immediately fatal. It would make you suffer for 49 days before you died.
Moreover, the doctor could not check the pulse of the poison at all, so there was no way to treat it. It was highly insidious. Although there were people with superb medical skills who fought poison with poison and used poison to neutralize the poison, it also caused the woman to be paralyzed in bed. The poison of the Ghostly Face Grass caused the terrifying spider patterns on her face. The person who poisoned her must hate this woman very much or be jealous of her.
Not only did she want her to die, but she also wanted her to suffer both mentally and physically. She was highly sinister and vicious.
“1 beg Miss Su to save my mother. If you save my mother, I will give you anything you want.”
Yeluchun’s deep eyes were filled with pain. He ignored his noble status and bowed to Su Qing.
He could give up anything for his mother as long as she could live on.
“I’ll try my best to detoxify her first before treating her other illnesses.”
Su Qing nodded and asked for a pen and paper to write a prescription.
“Go and get the medicine according to the prescription.”
Yeluchun respectfully received the prescription and nodded to Su Qing to express his gratitude. “1’11 order someone to get the medicine now.”
“Boil a bucket of hot water; the hotter, the better.”
Su Qing asked Yeluchun to order someone to boil the water. After Yeluchun left, she took out a set of silver needles from her clothes. The servant girl stared at her with wide eyes.
Could such a young lady have any medical skills?
“Take down the mosquito net and strip your Madam of all her clothes.”
Su Qing saw the servant girl staring at her and ordered her.
“Alright.”
Yeluchun obediently listened to Su Qing’s orders, so the servant girl did not dare to be negligent. She quickly came over, put down the bed curtain to block the soft couch from the outside, then undressed the Madam.
Su Qing took advantage of this time to get Xiao Qi to make a life-prolonging pill and put it in the woman’s mouth first to ensure she wouldn’t die during the treatment.
After removing Madam’s clothes, the servant girl looked at Su Qing in a daze, not knowing what to do next.
“Get out!”
Su Qing chased the servant girl out and began to perform acupuncture on the woman. First, she sealed the poison in her body and guided it to her abdomen. Later, when she soaked in the medicinal bath, she would force the poison from the vulva.
This acupuncture technique was very taxing. Su Qing was sweating profusely after giving her acupuncture, and her clothes were drenched.
Xiao Qi’s heart ached in the system. “Master, you’ve worked hard. Xiao Qi’s heart aches!”
When Su Qing heard Xiao Qi’s heartwarming words, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
A flurry of footsteps came from outside the bed curtain. A servant had come to bring hot water. The bucket of hot water made the yurt even hotter.
Su Qing walked out from the bed curtain. The three servants delivering hot water saw a man walking out of Madam’s bed. Their eyes almost fell out.
What they couldn’t believe was yet to come!
