The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking Novel - Chapter 48
Chapter 48: Xia Muqing is Different
Xia Muqing quickly took out a ginseng from the items that the soldiers had prepared.
The knife amongst the items came in handy, as she sliced the ginseng and put them into Ye Qingxuan’s mouth.
He pressed his lips tightly and refused to open them.
Xia Muqing could only shout in his ear, “Open your mouth or you’ll die from the pain.”
This was all she could do. People who were in extreme pain would weaken their five senses to numb themselves.
After saying that, Ye Qingxuan finally relented.
After successfully putting the ginseng slices inside his mouth, Xia Muqing heaved a sigh of relief. She sat beside him and waited for the acupuncture to end.
This was the first time Xia Muqing had seen such a potent poison. She carefully observed the changes in his legs.
The blood that was congealing on the black and purple legs flowed faster and faster. Purple blood had covered and spread across both of his legs. After a long time, one could faintly see red blood flowing.
Xia Muqing was relieved. This meant that her treatment was working.
His poison was not incurable.
As the proportion of red blood increased, the purple blood had already been forced to his ankles.
Because of the blood being compressed together, the color became darker, and it went from purple to black.
Xia Muqing quickly removed the silver needles. Before the blood flowed back, she slit his ankles.
Purple blood flowed out continuously, and the color of his calves returned to its normal color.
Ye Qingxuan was in a semi-conscious state. Sensing danger, he grabbed Xia Muqing’s hand.
She couldn’t pull herself out of his arms, and she could only lean towards his ear and yell again, “Let go of me quickly. I’m Xia Muqing. I’m treating you right now.”
Ye Qingxuan swallowed but he didn’t let go of her.
Xia Muqing could only continue to yell.
Ye Qingxuan was tortured by the pain until his head became dizzy. He couldn’t feel anything. Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear. It was a familiar voice with an anxious tone.
Instinctively, he let go.
Xia Muqing struggled free and quickly pressed a few acupuncture points on his legs.
The bleeding gradually stopped after the wound was opened.
She wrapped the wounds quickly and waited for Ye Qingxuan to wake up.
He woke up earlier than Xia Muqing had expected.
Ye Qingxuan had just opened his eyes and he wasn’t even confused. He glanced at Xia Muqing.
Xia Muqing quickly said, “You’re awake. Try moving your legs.”
Ye Qingxuan moved slightly and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He looked at his legs, which had regained their color. Xia Muqing was really something.
She was very different from the weak fragile girl in the information he had received.
A glint flashed across his lowered eyes.
Xia Muqing asked nervously, “Can you move around a little?”
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and said, “The pain is already much lighter.”
It had been a long time since he felt relaxed after being tormented by pain all year round.
Xia Muqing nodded and said, “I only helped you to detoxify a little of the poison just now. Your legs are still very far away from complete detoxification. Your legs will still return to their original state tomorrow. You need acupuncture every day for a month.”
An ordinary person would have gone crazy from the pain, much less suffer for a month.
Ye Qingxuan only nodded calmly.
A sly glint flashed across Xia Muqing’s eyes. “So I need to stay in your residence for the time being.”
Ye Qingxuan didn’t mind her motive and grunted coldly in agreement.
This time, Xia Muqing wasn’t afraid at all. She snorted and added swiftly, “I have another pet who will stay with me too.”
Ye Qingxuan looked straight at her and sneered.
Xia Muqing shrunk her neck and mumbled aggrievedly, “I am moving to your manor to help you to detoxify the poison. Without me, my pet has no one to feed it. It won’t survive without someone to feed it.”
Ye Qingxuan massaged his eyebrows and interrupted her chatter. “Prince Yu.”
