Chapter 167 - No need, I have you

"Why? Human life is at stake, Feng Qingbai, give me a reason." Liu Yusheng stared at him, "Or do you mean that you don't trust my medical skills? You don't trust me?"

The man looked at her in a tangle. He didn't answer nor let her go.

"Feng Qingbai, that's your nephew!" The young man's face was already getting worse and worse. His breath was extremely weak, yet he still managed to dwell on the rest with her here!

"Shengsheng, if you interfere in this, it will be difficult to get out later. Do you know what you will face then?"

"I don't need to know that, I have you!"

Feng Qingbai's entire body shook fiercely. He stared deeply into the young lady's eyes that stared right back at him. There was firmness, fearlessness, and full trust in him.

His hand that clasped the woman's hand, slowly loosened, and the corners of his mouth slightly parted, "Go on, Shengsheng."

She was right. Whether the front was the vast sea or cliff, he was in front of her.

Liu Yusheng quickly turned to the bed. She first explored the boy's pulse, then checked his pupils and mouth.

His pulse was very odd. It was sometimes absent, sometimes strong, and sometimes weak.

If she wanted to obtain more detailed results, she must use her gold needle to detect.

Just as this thought formed, a small medical kit appeared in front of her.

Liu Yusheng froze for a second. She looked up and met the man's gentle eyes. "I asked someone to fetch it from your room just now."

Years passed, yet he still remembered her habit of practicing medicine. Thus, when she was exploring his pulse, he already signaled a hidden guard to go and fetch what she needed.

Liu Yusheng's heart felt warm. She opened the small medical kit and took out the gold needles, spreading one into each of the acupuncture points on the boy's body.

The man always stood by her side, accompanying her, not making a sound nor disturbing.

"What kind of poison is he suffering from?" Liu Yusheng asked in between.

"I don't know. I only know that it's a chronic poison. Each time he relapses, his internal organs will be much weakened. So far, there have been six attacks. For so many years, no one was able to research a specific one. In the entire Imperial Hospital, they only barely developed a temporary emergency medication to suppress the toxin and prevent him from caving in to the poison."

"That's why you came to Xuzhou to look for Baicao Valley disciples?"

"Yes."

No wonder. No wonder someone attacked the disciples of Baicao Valley at the inn.

She concluded it was because someone didn't want Feng Qingbai to find the person who could cure the young emperor's illness. Thus, they struck first and attempted to kill the Baicao Valley disciples in advance.

Now that people of Baicao Valley were nowhere to be found, this road was temporarily unworkable, and then the young emperor had a poison relapse this time. He must be under great pressure deep inside.

After retrieving the golden needles, Liu Yusheng's brow furrowed slightly.

She had never encountered the poison in the young emperor's body. To develop an antidote, she had to find out the ingredients of the poison, and she needed to take blood tests.

The time required to get results wouldn't be short.

The young emperor's current situation wasn't something that could wait.

She took out a medicine bottle from her purse, and slowly fed the young emperor the spiritual spring water in it.

Spiritual spring water was one of her reliance. Not to mention whether it could detoxify this toxin, at least in terms of protecting body functions and nourishing it, there was no doubt.

After drinking the spiritual water, the young man's paleness faded away shortly after. Although he was still in a coma, his complexion was much better.

Feng Qingbai loosened his tightly clenched fist and exhaled without a trace.

He didn't notice how nervous he was, and when he did, his hands were already clenched into fists.

"This is it for the time being. See if he can wake up tomorrow, and what symptoms will appear after he wakes up, and then we'll continue to find ways to treat him."

"Hmm, you've worked hard, Shengsheng."

Liu Yusheng looked up and smiled at the man. "It's not hard. You work harder than me."

Everything needed no more words, looking and smiling at each other's eyes.

Wei Zi finally invited Mr. Zhang. He was known to be a former retired imperial doctor with excellent medical skills. He later returned to his hometown due to old age. But this old man Zhang only sat for a while before leaving.

Before leaving, he left a sentence, "Youth should be regarded with respect."

This was an indirect recognition of Liu Yusheng's medical skills.

That night, neither of them went to bed.

Liu Yusheng wanted to observe the changes of the young man after drinking the medicine, so she kept watch at night.

Since she didn't leave, Feng Qingbai naturally didn't either.

He placed soft cushions on the couch outside the wing, and asked the girl to go and lie down when she was tired. He was responsible for guarding the boy, but if something arose, he would call her first.

Liu Yusheng initially wanted to hold on, but after frequently yawning several times, the man forced her to rest.

She was too sleepy, and fell into deep slumber the moment her head touched the pillow.

When she woke up again, the day was about to break.

Looking out the window at the faint dawn, Liu Yusheng sat up with a start. She quickly got up and ran to the inner room.

When she reached the door of the inner room, she saw at a glance the man sitting by the bed, and then the boy sitting against the headboard.

Feng Mohan had already woken up.

"Aunt Liu!" As soon as he saw Liu Yusheng, the boy greeted her with a smile.

"You're awake" Liu Yusheng said, walking in and glaring at Feng Qingbai. "Why didn't you call me?"

Feng Qingbai smiled lightly. "He has already woken up and isn't seriously ill for the time being, so I thought I would let you sleep more and visit him again after you wake up."

"Yes, Aunt Liu. I feel much better now, really!" The boy said while patting his chest to forcefully prove what he said.

He wasn't lying. He did feel good.

In the past, every time after the poison attacks, he was too weak to get up. He even felt that he was at death's door, and his internal felt vaguely painful.

But when he woke up this time, not only did his internal organs feel no pain, but he also felt full of energy. He could even sit up on his own.

This feeling was amazing and rekindled the hope in his heart.

He knew that his poison could not be cured even by the entire Imperial Hospital, and he had long resigned himself to the fact that he would die soon.

He never thought that there would be a twist.

Aunt Liu saved him last night. And above all, the effect of her treatment even surprised him.

It seemed that ever since he met Aunt Liu, his luck has gotten better.

Not to mention his uncle getting amiable, he was much gentler than before.

Encountering an assassination was no longer just a thrilling adventure, but the process added a little inexplicable joy.

And this treatment.

The young lady sat down at the bedside and checked his pulse again.

Seeing this, the boy closed his mouth and blinked, feeling a bit nervous deep inside, waiting for the results.

Would the result be positive or worse?

By the time the young lady withdrew her hand, his heart was on the verge of capsizing.

"How is it?" Feng Qingbai asked.

"The damage in his body and the post-traumatic injuries left in the past have recovered, but the toxins are still accumulating in his body." Liu Yusheng squinted thoughtfully.

The young man heard her diagnosis, and his shoulders collapsed in disappointment. After a pause, he raised his smile again. "Aunt Liu, it's okay. I know my own body. This poison is so powerful that the whole Imperial Hospital can't cure it! So you don't have to think too much. It's not that you're not good enough! It's just that this poison of mine is too difficult to deal with."
