The treatnt started.
The people inside the tent as well as outside did their work. However, it was so silent as if they were afraid to disturb each other.
A team of five people was ready to take any order from the tent. Whenever sothing would be asked, it would sent inside the tent imdiately. However, only a few people and mostly Li Hua and Rong Ting were allowed to go inside the tent as Xi Ying didn't want many people to see what kind of special treatnt his wife knew.
Li Rui started the treatnt.
Only the lower part of the old master's body was covered with a blanket and his legs were also kept uncovered until his knees.
Within a few minutes of the start of the treatnt, many silver needles were standing on his body and most of them were on his upper body.
Li Rui looked at the old master's head that was covered with the white hair and then turned to Gu Li and said
"Senior Brother, I need to see the flesh on the head."
Gu Li stiffened. He understood that she was asking him whether they could remove the hair or not.
It was a difficult choice to make but he nodded his head a mont later and then brought a blade that was usually used to cut the hair.
Gu Li's eyes widened when he saw how a spot on his master's head was completely black.
"It's alright, Senior Brother. That's what I had wanted to see."
Gu Li relaxed because he understood that Li Rui was already expecting this…then she must be known how they could treat it.
He sighed in relief as he assured himself and then started to clean the hair again.
After asking Li Rui, Gu Li left a long braid in the middle. He just wished that when his master would wake up he would not get angry at him.
He thought as he put down the blade.
But then a mont later, he thought even if he got angry, he would face any kind of punishnt happily. He just wanted his master to wake up.
Everyone saw Li Rui pinning three silver needles in a triangle shape around that black spot.
The old physician nodded his head as he knew this part of the treatnt. When Li Rui rasied her head and said
"These needles must not be removed until I do so myself."
She said to the other physicians who nodded their head imdiately while Gu Li, Xi Ying as well as the old physicians noted this thing inside their mind.
They were not going to let anyone remove the needles except Li Rui.
It was almost after a shichen that Li Rui stopped putting the needles inside the old master's body. During the whole process, she removed a few from here and there many tis.
Many could not understand what she was doing.
Only the old physician was understanding to so extent and that was only because of whatever he had written on the rice paper.
Physician Ruan had a deep frown on his forehead all the ti as he tried to rember and understand each and every step.
However, since he didn't understand why the next step was being done, regardless of how intelligent he was, he couldn't rember it.
Slowly he started to get very frustrated and looked at Li Rui with resentnt-filled eyes as he asked
"What have we been called for if you are going to do everything?"
His words filled with clear resentnt were very audible inside the very silent tent.
Li Rui who was disturbed frowned but raised her head to look at Physician Ruan calmly. However, two pairs of eyes full of deathly coldness were soon focused on him.
Even the old physician who was standing beside him didn't think to respect him anymore because of his age and said coldly
"That is not sothing that you are allowed to ask, Senior."
His words were still polite as he continued
"You should not forget that you were brought here as a captive so you have no right to ask any question."
The other four physicians could not help but agree with the old physicians. Indeed, they were captive.
Because of this only, they have not complained even once. Already they were given a very good treatnt contrary to whatever staus they have been brought here so according to them, it was already good.
They didn't have any complaints as long as they were getting to stay alive.
Even if they just needed to stand and see Li Rui performing the treatnt, they didn't have any complaints. In fact, they were curious to watch what she will do and how she will treat the old man.
"An Si"
Xi Ying's cold voice sounded inside the tent and everyone looked toward him and then at the man in black clothes who suddenly appeared inside the tent.
"Drag him out."
Xi Ying said with his cold eyes fixed on Physician Ruan.
The old physician appreciated Xi Ying's decision and nodded his head vigorously as if he was showing his support.
Physician Ruan's eyes widened when the next mont, An Si grabbed his arm and started to drag him out of the tent.
While being dragged outside, he didn't struggle and he didn't shout but for once, he turned around to look towards Xi Ying, and then he was dragged out of the tent completely.
On the other hand, Xi Ying continued to look in the sa direction with narrowed eyes.
Did he just see the anger in the physician's eyes?
The suspicion that he had for the old man increased. One had to know that not many people has the courage to look into the eyes of the rciless pri minister of Xin….especially when they were deathly cold …at least not so ordinary people.
And this small incident only confird that Physician Ruan was not so simple physician.
He needed to check his history and find out if he was kind of a threat to anyone.
And if he was, then he would not be sent alive out of here.
