Chapter 559: Chapter 559, Treatment (9 more updates)
“Miss Xie, my mother is worried about big brother…”
“There’s no need to worry, I hope she keeps quiet from now on!” Zhinuan whispered softly.
She pinched Chu Yunping’s mouth open and fed him a medicine pill.
Dugu Zhen had already finished taking the pulse, helped the patient sit up, removed his clothing, and started acupuncture with silver needles.
Several silver needles were placed into lethal acupoints; ordinary physicians would not dare to needle like this.
Lady Chu had already fainted from fright.
Even Chu Yun’an’s brow was throbbing with terror.
He had never seen anyone needle with such ferocity, aiming straight for the lethal acupoints.
Having just lost his breath, Chu Yunping began to breathe slowly after the ten silver needles were inserted.
Zhinuan, watching his chest heaving violently, said to Dugu Zhen, “Old master, he’s catching his breath!”
“Mm!” Dugu Zhen nodded.
Zhinuan’s medicine pill was extremely important in reviving someone who had stopped breathing; more importantly, she had given the patient something to ingest beforehand.
It was colorless and tasteless, unknown what it was, but surely the same kind administered to Qin Mao.
His needling was aimed squarely at lethal acupoints—it was a case of putting the patient at death’s door, only to pull them back.
The person had no breath left; it was a desperate move, and whether the patient could be saved depended on fate.
It showed that this person’s fate was good, having encountered Zhinuan.
If they had come across him, even if his needling was perfect, it would have been useless.
Several more needles followed, all aimed at the core Yuan upper points.
When Lady Chu, awoken by Chu Yun’an pinching her philtrum, heard that breath had returned, she went limp and kneeled down towards Zhinuan.
“Thank you, thank you…”
She had personally seen her son close his eyes, felt for his breath herself, and watched her son lose his life right beside her.
Now, he was catching his breath again.
A divine physician…
A thousand words could not express her gratitude, reduced to simply saying thank you.
Only when Chu Yunping was covered in silver needles and his breathing began to even out,
did Dugu Zhen, after taking his pulse again, ask Zhinuan, “What do you think, can we remove the needles now?”
“Mm!”
Zhinuan stepped forward to take Chu Yunping’s pulse.
“…”
It was slightly worse than she had anticipated; after all, his health had severely declined, but it was already good that he had been saved.
“We can remove the needles now!”
“You do it!”
“…”
Zhinuan glanced at the old master, thinking, I’ve really never done this before.
But still holding her breath, she followed the old master’s instructions and removed the needles one by one, all smeared with black.
“…”
Zhinuan frowned.
At the spots where the silver needles had been, little black beads of blood emerged.
“…”
By the time she had removed all the needles, Chu Yunping on the bed had turned entirely black.
Zhinuan reached out, lightly touched the blood beads, and sniffed them, “There’s arsenic…”
She listed several drug names, and Dugu Zhen nodded, “Yes, you are correct!”
Zhinuan wiped her hands and helped Lady Chu to her feet.
“Get some cloths to wipe off the toxic blood from his body, use Hemostatic Powder when the blood turns red!” Then she sat down to write a prescription.
After finishing, she showed it to Dugu Zhen.
Dugu Zhen nodded, “This prescription is very good!”
At least better than his own.
He was a slick, worldly man; his prescriptions were just like his temperament, unlike Zhinuan’s, which took every step into account, added a few extra doses of pure goodness, making the drugs enhance each other.
It turned into a genuinely life-saving medicine.
“Take this prescription first to get the medicine, boil five bowls of water down to one, and feed it to the patient!” Zhinuan instructed softly.
She took Chu Yunping’s pulse again.
He was stabilized, but he would be in pain soon.
Once Zhinuan left the room, Chu Yun’an immediately asked her to go to the guest quarters to wash up.
“The clothes belong to my sister and have never been worn, I hope you don’t mind!”
“I won’t!”
