"What kind of poison is this? How toxic is it? Can the poison be removed immediately?" Helan Yanting frowned. Seeing Feng Yunshu breaking out in cold sweat on her forehead again, he felt heart - wrenching pain. He quickly reached out his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.
The old doctor standing aside was momentarily shocked at Helan Yanting's action towards Feng Yunshu. The medicine boy beside him was even more stunned.
This military advisor... Why is he treating a man like this? Could it be...
Helan Yanting turned his head and coldly glanced at the old doctor. "Doctor Hong?"
Doctor Hong shivered. When he came to his senses, he quickly averted his gaze. "Military Advisor, this poison is not difficult to cure, and it can be removed immediately. However, I'm short of a medicinal primer, so I can't prepare the antidote."
"What's the medicinal primer?"
"The gallbladder of a python over ten years old."
Helan Yanting nodded immediately after hearing this. "Okay, I can send someone to the mountain to get this medicinal primer right away. During this period, is there any way to relieve her physical pain?"
Doctor Hong looked at Feng Yunshu lying pale on the bed. "I can use silver needles to temporarily seal several of his acupoints, which can minimize the pain in his body."
"In that case, then perform the acupuncture immediately."
Doctor Hong nodded, then turned to instruct the medicine boy beside him. "Xiaoshan, go and take off this young master's outer robe to facilitate my acupuncture."
Hearing this, Helan Yanting's face immediately changed. He looked up at Doctor Hong. "Must the outer robe be taken off?"
Doctor Hong nodded. "Yes, otherwise, I can't perform the acupuncture accurately. There may be mistakes."
"I'll take off his outer robe. Everyone else, go out first." Helan Yanting's face was cold as he glanced at the medicine boy. Xiaoshan inexplicably felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He quickly turned around and left the military tent.
At this time, Ziyuan stepped forward and nervously lowered her head and said, "Let this servant take off this young master's outer robe."
Qingzhu, who was holding Xiaoling beside her, had no intention of leaving. Mainly because Xiaoling was worried about Feng Yunshu's physical condition, so she wanted to watch the doctor perform the acupuncture.
Helan Yanting looked at them indifferently. "All of you go out first. I'll stay."
"This..." Ziyuan hesitated.
Just then, Qingzhu held Xiaoling in one hand and dragged Ziyuan out of the military tent with the other. Before leaving, Qingzhu glanced at Helan Yanting. "We'll leave Yunxi in your care, Brother Tingyan."
Helan Yanting nodded slightly. Watching them leave, he turned around and walked to Feng Yunshu's bedside. He carefully helped her sit up and was about to take off her outer robe.
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, Helan Yanting saw Doctor Hong staring at them with wide - open eyes. He couldn't help but frown. "Doctor Hong, please step aside."
Doctor Hong was stunned for a moment. He thought that since they were all men, there was no need to avoid... This military advisor was really strange.
Although he was complaining in his heart, Doctor Hong still silently turned around and avoided.
Helan Yanting tried his best to be careful not to touch the bloody wounds from the needle holes on Feng Yunshu's body. However, even so, because the needle holes were relatively dense, he still inevitably touched several wounds.
"Sizzle..."
Feng Yunshu gasped in pain. One hand grabbed his front lapel. "It hurts..."
Helan Yanting watched as her facial features were all twisted in pain and her face was pale. His heart ached, and his face darkened a bit. "Endure it. It'll be over soon."
To make her suffer less pain, Helan Yanting had to quickly complete the action in his hand and take off her outer robe.
When this series of actions was completed in one go, Feng Yunshu looked at the man in front of her, who looked both heart - wrenching and extremely serious. She couldn't help but smile. But as soon as she smiled, it pulled the wound, and her expression instantly became a mixture of crying and laughing.
"It's this time and you can still laugh? It seems you're not in enough pain?" Helan Yanting said irritably as he tapped the tip of her nose. "Hold back your laughter if you can."
Feng Yunshu pouted. "How can one hold back laughter..."
After saying that, her gaze fell on the thin layer of cold sweat on Helan Yanting's forehead. She was deeply touched. She reached out to wipe it off for him, but just as her hand was raised a little, it was firmly grasped by him and pressed back.
"What are you up to again?"
Feng Yunshu looked at him pleadingly. "You're sweating. Is it because you're too nervous?"
Helan Yanting was stunned for a moment. A suspicious blush appeared on his usually cold face. "You're overthinking. It's just too hot."
"Really... Okay. I thought you were concerned about me. It seems I'm being self - indulgent again..."
"You—" Feng Yunshu made Helan Yanting not know whether to scold her or feel sorry for her.
At this moment, Doctor Hong, who was standing with his back to them, felt as if ten thousand crows were flying by in his heart.
These two must have an unusual relationship. But can't they talk later? Have they considered my feelings!
Who would have thought that at my advanced age, I would have to be force - fed dog food by two men here. It's really... The morals of the world are declining. Sigh.
Strangely enough, after chatting with Helan Yanting for a few words, Feng Yunshu felt that the pain in her wounds was not as severe. However, the wounds still needed to be treated as soon as possible.
"Doctor Hong, perform the acupuncture."
Finally, Helan Yanting's words allowed Doctor Hong to jump out of the embarrassing situation.
Doctor Hong immediately took out his acupuncture tools and skillfully got to work.
Soon, Doctor Hong finished the acupuncture. Feng Yunshu clearly felt that the pain in her body was really suppressed, and she hardly felt it anymore.
"Okay. This pain can only be temporarily suppressed. If you want to detoxify earlier, you still have to find the medicinal primer as soon as possible and develop the antidote."
Doctor Hong turned to look at Helan Yanting, eager to leave this place quickly.
"The medicinal primer is no problem. Doctor Hong can go back and wait for a while. After the medicinal primer is obtained, I'll send someone to invite you."
This was exactly what Doctor Hong was waiting for. He quickly nodded and turned around to leave the military tent. Looking at his walking pace, one might think that the old man had regained his youth if they didn't know better.
Feng Yunshu couldn't help but smile. "My lord, look at what you've done. You've scared Doctor Hong... No wonder people call you the Ghost - faced Military Advisor!"
"Ghost - faced Military Advisor?"
Helan Yanting turned to look at Feng Yunshu. "Who spread this? I've never heard of it."
Feng Yunshu shrugged and waved her hand. "Who knows."
After saying that, Feng Yunshu looked at Helan Yanting playfully. "My lord, you're really something. You carried me back in front of the others in the military camp, and you were so affectionate with me in front of Doctor Hong. I'm afraid they're gossiping about you secretly now..."
"What are they gossiping about?"
"They're gossiping that you're a homosexual! That you have a penchant for men!"
Helan Yanting chuckled indifferently after hearing this. "So what?"
"Hey, my lord, your reaction is very strange... Could it be that you really are..." Feng Yunshu couldn't help but tease him when she saw Helan Yanting's reaction.
Helan Yanting suddenly leaned over and bit her lips before she could finish her sentence.
"Sizzle, are you a dog? Why are you biting me..."
"To stop your joking words." Helan Yanting let go and looked at her with deep eyes.
"I don't know what homosexuality is. I only know that no matter what you look like, madam, I can recognize you at a glance. No matter how we meet, my heart will only belong to you."
