Chapter 47: Removal of Poison Using Acupuncture

After checking his pulse, she frowned and said, “The poison in your body has been suppressed for too long. It can’t be controlled anymore. If this continues, your legs will be crippled forever.”

It wasn’t an exaggeration.

Ye Qingxuan had been poisoned for many years. All the toxins were suppressed in his legs, which resulted in him being crippled.

But now, the toxins could no longer be suppressed. They were showing signs of spreading in his body.

Ye Qingxuan wasn’t surprised. He had known about this long ago.

Looking at the items on the table, she asked, “Physician Xia, I wonder what your plan is to use these items to treat my illness?”

Xia Muqing looked at the variety of strange items which included a chopping knife.

She was speechless. When she was rattling off the names of these items just now, she only wanted to escape and didn’t care about what she had said.

She coughed lightly and said, “These things will be used in the future. I just need to do acupuncture for your treatment now.”

It was obvious that she was lying, but Ye Qingxuan didn’t expose her.

At this moment, Xia Muqing had already regained her composure. She was too flustered earlier on. Now, she understood that she had her greatest weapon.

She had the ability to cure Ye Qingxuan, so he wouldn’t kill her because of that.

He might even be able to help her.

She became even more composed at the thought of it.

She said, “Your Highness, please move into the room. Acupuncture requires a quiet space.”

With that said, she gestured at the soldiers around her.

Ye Qingxuan acted as if he was fully cooperating with her.

When only the two of them were left in the room, he said calmly, “Miss Xia, shouldn’t you explain something else to me?”

With that, he grabbed Xia Muqing’s arm and pulled her forcefully.

Before Xia Muqing could react, she was already kneeling on the ground and her neck was grabbed by him.

With this move, she knew that this man was unfathomable. Even if he was in a wheelchair, she was no match for him.

He didn’t exert much force and only used enough force to prevent Xia Muqing from escaping.

Xia Muqing smiled awkwardly and said, “It was an emergency at that time. I was also framed.”

Clearly, she didn’t get his approval.

Because his hand had started to squeeze her neck.

Xia Muqing quickly added, “On the account that I will be able to cure you, shall we forget about our feud?”

Ye Qingxuan snorted and let go of her before sitting up again.

Xia Muqing heaved a sigh of relief. She touched her neck and said carefully, “Your Highness, I need to pull up your pants before I can do the acupuncture.”

Seeing that he didn’t object, Xia Muqing finally began.

Only after seeing his calves did she realize that she had underestimated the severity of the toxins in his body.

His entire calves had turned blackish-purple.

Purple blood could be seen flowing through the bulging veins.

Even his bones showed signs of being corroded by the poison.

She glanced at him in surprise. Patients in this situation would suffer intense pain every second.

The mistake she had made during her diagnosis just now, was largely misled by his calm appearance.

Clearing her mind, she reached out and touched the muscles of Ye Qingxuan’s calves. After being immersed in the toxins for a long time, his legs felt soft as if there were no muscles or bones.

After taking out the silver needles, she warned him, “It will hurt a little when I insert the needles. Bear with it.”

Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes and remained silent.

Xia Muqing took a deep breath and began to insert the needles.

As the number of silver needles increased, Ye Qingxuan’s face turned pale and large drops of perspiration kept dripping down his forehead.

However, he didn’t utter a sound.

Xia Muqing started to admire him.

The muscles and bones of both his legs had been damaged to this extent, and the usual pain he endured was enough to kill an adult. The pain after the injection had been maximized, and it was at least five times worse than the usual pain.
