Jiang Suzhou was indeed shocked by the silver needles in Huo Wujiu's leg.
Before he transmigrated, his body was very healthy. He had only received a few injections, let alone acupuncture. The injury on Huo Wujiu's leg had not healed. Now that the needles were applied, it looked even more shocking.
With just one glance, Jiang Suzhou's eyes felt as if they had been scalded, and he hurriedly looked away.
How painful would it be?
He actually felt as if he was in Huo Wujiu's shoes. Although he had only taken a glance, it was as if the needles had pierced his body.
Next to him, Meng Qianshan helped him to sit down on the couch, poured him a cup of hot tea, and placed it next to his hand.
However, Jiang Suzhou did not even look at him. His gaze only fell on Li Changning, who was by the bed.
Li Changning waited quietly by the bed for a moment until the sand in the hourglass on the medicine box had all fallen. Then, he stepped forward and skillfully and quickly removed the needles from Huo Wujiu's leg.
After he wiped all the needles clean and put them back in the medicine box, Jiang Suzhou asked, "Is it over?"
Li Changning nodded and said, "Everything will be fine after Madam drinks the medicine."
Jiang Suzhou heard this and asked, "Yes. What medicine? "
Li Changning smiled and said, "It's something to nourish the body. Madam has not been active these days. I am worried that she can't withstand the acupuncture, so I need to give her some medicine to replenish her blood and Qi. "
Jiang Suzhou nodded and did not ask any more questions.
Li Changning turned around and ordered his disciple to bring the medicine. However, the disciple seemed to be thinking about something and did not respond.
Li Changning quickly went forward and brought the medicine over. He brought it to Huo Wujiu's bedside.
Huo Wujiu sat up on the bed and took the medicine bowl.
Jiang Suzhou could not help but look at him a few more times.
Just like when she was staying at his place, she didn't even lift her eyes. She was still indifferent to him, as if he didn't exist.
Jiang Suizhou actually felt a sense of relaxation and intimacy from this, as if something that had been missing this morning had finally returned.
The corners of Jiang Suizhou's mouth couldn't help but curl up. Even he himself didn't notice it.
Seeing that Huo Wujiu had finished drinking the medicine, Li Changning thought for a moment, then turned around and knelt down in front of Jiang Suzhou.
"Your Highness, today's treatment for Madam is over," he said. "If Your Highness doesn't have any other orders, this humble one will take his leave first."
Li Changning was the clearest about this. The medicine that he had taken orally would take effect very quickly. At most, it would only take an incense stick's worth of time for it to take effect.
Naturally, this effect was not only on the reconstruction of the meridians, but also on the pain of the bones and flesh.
Ever since he started practicing medicine, he had treated a few similar patients. When the medicine took effect, all of them were in unbearable pain. The first few patients had only taken half of the medicine, but each of them had a ferocious look on their faces and were thrashing around. It was good enough that they didn't faint from the pain.
Naturally, he couldn't let Imperial Prince Jing see this kind of scene. It would arouse his suspicion.
After all, he had told Imperial Prince Jing that he could only relieve the pain in Huo Wujiu's limbs. If Jiang Suizhou saw that the more he treated, the more pain he felt, then he wouldn't be able to explain it to him.
Therefore, he had to send him away as soon as possible.
Li Changning had already made plans. As soon as Imperial Prince Jing asked him to leave, he would immediately pretend that he remembered something and ask Imperial Prince Jing to go back to his room to take his pulse and change the prescription. In any case, Imperial Prince Jing didn't care much about the general's injuries, so he probably wouldn't ask too much …
Instead, he saw Jiang Suizhou leaning against the pillow on the couch.
"Yes," he said lightly. "How was the treatment today?"
Li Changning was stunned.
Why didn't Imperial Prince Jing play his cards according to common sense?
He carefully raised his eyes to look at Jiang Suizhou and saw him sitting there leisurely. Although he looked lazy and calm, there was an unfathomable expression on his face as he quietly looked at him.
… He didn't know if he really cared or if he was just testing him.
Li Changning, who didn't know that Jiang Suizhou just wanted to stay here for a while, didn't dare to slack off. He carefully chose his words and carefully but quickly reported to Jiang Suizhou.
His words were watertight and concise. Even if Imperial Prince Jing was suspicious, he wouldn't be able to find any clues.
After he finished reporting, Li Changning lowered his head and secretly calculated the time while silently begging Imperial Prince Jing to leave quickly.
He saw Imperial Prince Jing, who was sitting on the couch, raise his hand.
Li Changning's whole body was ready to move. He was waiting for this master to wave his hand so that he could slip away and trick this master into leaving as well …
However, he saw Jiang Suizhou pick up the teacup on the table and take a sip.
He unexpectedly continued to ask questions.
From how long it would take to see the effect, to whether the acupuncture would have any other effects, and even what acupuncture point to use.
Li Changning thought to himself, 'It's over.'
He trembled as he answered Jiang Suizhou's questions and calculated the time.
The time it took to burn a stick of incense passed quickly and he was almost there.
Li Changning's heart was in his throat.
However, after the time it took to burn a stick of incense passed, there was still no movement from the couch. Time passed bit by bit, but other than the sound of their conversation, there was no other movement in the room.
Gradually, Li Changning relaxed.
As expected, this General Huo couldn't be judged by normal standards.
Since he had this kind of endurance, then there was no need for him to hide it.
Thus, Li Changning felt at ease and began to talk with Jiang Suizhou. He answered smoothly and freely.
However, he didn't notice that Jiang Suizhou, who was sitting on the couch, was somewhat absent-minded.
His gaze drifted to the couch from time to time.
Normally, Huo Wujiu didn't like to talk to him, but he had never ignored him as much as he did today. He just lay there as if he didn't exist.
Ever since the day he laid his cards on the table, it seemed that Huo Wujiu's attitude had always been like this. He didn't know if he had said something wrong.
Why not … find an excuse to show some concern?
Jiang Suizhou chatted with Li Changning casually, but he couldn't help but think about Huo Wujiu on the bed.
After a while, he made a decision.
Since he was already here, what was there to be embarrassed about?
With this thought, he raised his hand and stopped Li Changning from talking.
Li Changning was talking non-stop to Jiang Suizhou about which blood vessels his acupuncture technique could connect and what effects it would have. When he was suddenly interrupted, he quickly looked up at Jiang Suizhou.
He saw Imperial Prince Jing stand up and walk to the side of the bed.
"What about you? Do you feel better?" He heard Imperial Prince Jing ask.
Li Changning didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Imperial Prince Jing's tone was gentler when he spoke to General Huo.
He heard General Huo on the bed grunt. His voice was a bit hoarse, but his tone was steady.
This time, Imperial Prince Jing definitely couldn't tell that General Huo was enduring a lot of pain.
As expected, Imperial Prince Jing grumbled in response.
Li Changning was relieved.
However, at this moment, he saw Imperial Prince Jing's back stiffen.
Immediately after, he heard Imperial Prince Jing's voice. It was as if he had fallen into a cold cave.
"Why is his face so pale?"
— —
When Jiang Suizhou got closer, he saw that Huo Wujiu's lips were abnormally pale and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. At this time, his eyes were closed. It wasn't until Li Changning got closer that he realized that he was struggling to open his eyes and look at Li Changning. His face was still expressionless.
However, Jiang Suizhou could tell at a glance that he was forcing himself to stay awake.
Jiang Suizhou was shocked and hurriedly dragged Li Changning over. Li Changning trembled as he stepped forward and checked Huo Wujiu's pulse. He said, "Your Highness, it's normal to feel a bit of pain after acupuncture."
Jiang Suizhou didn't believe him at all.
"Normal?" He said coldly. "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Moreover, he didn't believe that this was just "a bit of pain." Huo Wujiu was a person who could endure a lot of pain. If he could sweat from the pain, then it was definitely not a pain that a normal person could understand.
Without waiting for Li Changning to reply, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Changning by the collar. He gritted his teeth and said, "If anything happens to him while you're in charge, I'll take your life."
Imperial Prince Jing's body was weak and his hands were weak. However, when he met those frighteningly cold eyes, Li Changning couldn't help but tremble.
Didn't Imperial Prince Jing hate the general? Why did he look like he would really kill someone for the general …?
He trembled as he said, "Your Highness, please calm down! When I first used acupuncture to clear the meridians, it was indeed painful. However, after a period of treatment, the pain would be greatly relieved … "
Jiang Suizhou asked, "How long is a period of treatment?"
Li Changning said, "About a month …"
Jiang Suizhou threw him aside and sneered, "You're going to torment him for a month? Your acupuncture was originally meant to relieve pain. Now that it's not alleviating, it's making it worse. How dare you use these words to deceive me? "
Li Changning trembled and couldn't say anything. He hurriedly tried to think of a way to respond.
However, at this moment, a hoarse voice came from the bed.
"It's fine."
It was Huo Wujiu's voice.
Jiang Suizhou looked up and saw Huo Wujiu supporting his body and sitting up on the bed.
"This is how it's supposed to be treated. There's no need to make things difficult for him," Huo Wujiu said.
Li Changning knew that he was done for.
He was originally worried that he would arouse Imperial Prince Jing's suspicions. Just now, he was the only one who tried to explain himself. Now that even the general was helping him, he was probably going to add fuel to the fire …
Li Changning's legs turned to jelly.
He didn't dare to look up at Imperial Prince Jing. He was only waiting for the other party to fly into a rage.
However, he heard the sound of slow, deep breaths.
"Get lost," Imperial Prince Jing said. "If after a month, the results don't match what you said, I'll have your head."
Li Changning knelt on the ground, his face full of disbelief.
Just like that … it was over?
— —
Li Changning quickly left with Wei Kai. For a moment, the room was silent. Only Jiang Suizhou and Huo Wujiu, who were standing by the bed, were left looking at each other.
Huo Wujiu looked up at him.
Just now, Imperial Prince Jing seemed to be really angry, but now, his cold and fierce appearance was completely gone. He stood in front of the bed against the light. Although his expression was still cold, one could see the helplessness in his eyes.
His eyes kept glancing at Huo Wujiu's legs.
For some reason, the irritation that Huo Wujiu had been suppressing in his heart for the past few days gradually disappeared at this moment. It was replaced by a sense of helplessness, as if he had to compromise.
… It was no wonder that he would misunderstand. Could it be that Imperial Prince Jing couldn't distinguish between how he should treat his collaborators and how he should treat his admirers? It was obvious that he was related to Huo Wujiu because of his own interests, but he had to be so sincere. It made people feel that if they were to argue with him, they would be taking their anger out on him and bullying him.
After a pause, Huo Wujiu said indifferently, "Is there something else?"
Jiang Suizhou, who was standing by the bed, seemed to come back to his senses. He said, "Oh, I was just … checking to see if you were okay."
"I'm fine," Huo Wujiu said straightforwardly.
Imperial Prince Jing moved, as if he was subconsciously about to leave, but he stopped in his tracks.
After a pause, he lowered his eyes and looked disdainfully at Huo Wujiu. In a cold voice, he said, "You said you were fine, so you're fine? That day when it rained, you also said you were fine. What happened in the end? "
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Huo Wujiu to respond. He glanced sideways at Meng Qianshan, who wasn't too far away.
Meng Qianshan understood and hurriedly brought over a chair for Imperial Prince Jing and placed it next to the bed.
Jiang Suizhou sat down on the chair with an unquestionable expression on his face.
"I'll be watching you," he said.
Huo Wujiu glanced at him.
"As you wish," he said indifferently.
Imperial Prince Jing didn't say anything else. Instead, he took the book that Meng Qianshan handed to him and sat down to read.
Huo Wujiu's gaze paused for a moment, then he looked away.
He was clearly an unlikeable person, and even extremely annoying person, but there was a hint of sweetness that came out of nowhere. It made people feel annoyed just thinking about him, but when they saw him, they couldn't control the corners of their mouths.
It was very strange.
