Chapter 17: The Poison Attack

She hurriedly got up, her eyes fixed on him with worry.

She picked up Jing Xunche's hand to feel his pulse and found an unusual force in his body. The symptoms were no different from those of poisoning, but Mu Fengqie couldn't tell what kind of poison it was for a while.

In her previous life, she would study poisons and antidotes whenever she had time. She had been studying for nearly twenty years. She thought she was an expert in this field, but she didn't expect that when she felt the pulse today, she couldn't find out anything.

For a moment, this really stumped Mu Fengqie. Although there were all kinds of medicinal materials at home, to prescribe the right medicine, she couldn't figure out the poison in his body for a while. She could only boil some medicine first to suppress the toxicity in his body, but she couldn't help him detoxify in a short time.

Mu Fengqie didn't dare to waste any time and quickly went to boil the medicine. After putting the medicine into the pot, she took out the silver needles she had prepared a few days ago. The toxin in his body was very fierce and overbearing. A bowl of medicine alone probably couldn't relieve his pain, so she could only rely on the silver needles to force out some of the toxin in his body.

Normally, there should be traces on a poisoned person, but if a person didn't understand medicine, they would never be able to tell that he was poisoned.

There was no one else in the room except Mu Fengqie. She quickly took off his pants and clothes until he was only left with his underwear. She didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment.

In the eyes of others in this era, men and women should keep a proper distance, let alone a woman taking off a man's clothes like she did. But at this moment, in Mu Fengqie's eyes, their relationship was that of a doctor and a patient. There was no such thing as the taboo between men and women in front of a doctor and a patient.

She quickly took out the silver needles and didn't hesitate to prick them into his body. She finally stopped after pricking seventy - seven forty - nine needles. After the acupuncture, she held Jing Xunche's wrist to feel his pulse and found that his pulse was gradually stabilizing. She finally managed to suppress the toxin in his body.

Looking at the blood slowly oozing out of the silver needles, Mu Fengqie collected the poisonous blood as an experimental reference. Although she didn't know what his past was like, since they were already husband and wife, she must research an antidote.

Fortunately, the toxicity in Jing Xunche's body was not fatal for the time being, but she had to hurry up and research an antidote. Even the slowest - acting poison couldn't be delayed forever, so she didn't have much time left, at most a year.

To Mu Fengqie's relief, the acupuncture technique she had researched in her previous life couldn't detoxify, but it could temporarily suppress the toxicity. The toxicity had been forced back, and he would wake up soon.

Mu Fengqie fed Jing Xunche another bowl of medicine and then pulled out the silver needles on his body. She carefully wiped the poisonous blood oozing from his body. Only then did Mu Fengqie notice something was wrong. He was bare - chested and a certain part was very prominent. It was really a bit embarrassing.

She unconsciously pursed her lips and took out a silk scarf from her bosom to cover his private parts. Only then did she feel a bit more comfortable, and then she continued to wipe his body.

Wasting so much time like this, she didn't go to the market. As the day passed and the sun set, Jing Xunche still hadn't woken up.

Mu Fengqie performed acupuncture again. After repeating the process, she put his clothes and pants on for him and sat alone by the bedside guarding him.

Maybe because she was exhausted from a day's work, she fell asleep beside his bed. When Jing Xunche woke up, he saw this scene. For some reason, as long as he could see Mu Fengqie when he woke up, he would feel very calm and at ease.

Mu Fengqie didn't sleep soundly. Hearing the sound, she rubbed her eyes and opened them, "You're awake? When did you wake up? Why didn't you call me?"

Jing Xunche painfully pinched the space between his eyebrows, and his eyes gradually became clear from the daze just after waking up, "I had another poison attack? Didn't I do anything to you?"

Mu Fengqie nodded and asked with concern, "How do you feel now? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Jing Xunche shook his head, "I'm fine. Did you save me?"

Hearing this, Mu Fengqie finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had found the sense of achievement of curing the sick and saving the dying in her previous life again, "It's good that you're okay. Don't worry. I will definitely find a way to detoxify you."

Jing Xunche looked at Mu Fengqie with a tired face. It seemed that Mu Fengqie in the past was not proficient in medicine, but the person in front of him now not only helped him control the toxicity but also kept saying that she would help him detoxify. Could a person change so much in a short time?

"My lady, your medical skills..."

Mu Fengqie's expression paused, and she began to stutter, "When I was a child, I met a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest gave me several medical books, so I only know a little."

Jing Xunche understood. He propped himself up with both hands and sat up. His eyes fell on his pants, and he couldn't move them away after just one look.

He remembered that his pants were worn properly, but now his pants were inside out. One could imagine what had happened.

Mu Fengqie looked in the direction of his gaze in confusion and then involuntarily shouted, "I didn't take off your pants!"

It would have been better if she hadn't explained. This explanation just made things worse. Her current behavior was like a thief crying "stop thief", which was very suspicious.

Jing Xunche's lips curled up slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of excitement on his face, "Then my lady, what's this?"

Mu Fengqie raised her eyes and watched helplessly as Jing Xunche slowly pulled out a silk scarf from his pants. At this moment, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

She had dressed him too quickly just now and actually forgot about this thing. But she had just denied it. The slap in the face came too fast!

She was completely petrified and stood there stiffly. Her face blushed at a visible speed. The atmosphere at this moment was so embarrassing that it was hard to breathe.

"Um... I... I had to do it when I was going to perform acupuncture on you. Don't take it to heart." After saying that, Mu Fengqie turned around.

Jing Xunche said playfully, "My lady, you just said you didn't take off my clothes?"

"I... In that situation, I was just trying to save you. I've already said don't take it to heart!"

"So... I've been completely seen by my lady?"

Mu Fengqie unconsciously swallowed her saliva, "No! I swear I didn't see anything. Besides, there was something covering it!"

Jing Xunche laughed looking at Mu Fengqie's cute performance, "What? What did you say was covering it?"

Mu Fengqie turned around and tried to avoid making eye contact with him.
