Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Poisoning_1 Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Poisoning_1 “Please wait over there, I still need to give him dicine and perform acupuncture,” Yang ngchen said as she took out a small porcelain bottle and poured out a pill.
Yang Chengrong brought over a white porcelain bowl filled with so water for Yang ngchen.
Yang ngchen took it, dissolved the pill, and then gestured for Yang Cheng’an to steady Hua Ziyu and pry open his mouth. With her left hand, she held the white porcelain bowl to his lips to feed him the dicinal water, and with her right hand, she subtly applied her Inner Strength as she went along with the breathing to help him swallow. After he finished the dicinal water, she handed the white porcelain bowl back to Yang Chengrong.
Yang Cheng’an then helped Hua Ziyu lie back down flat on the bed.
Taking out Black Needles from her bag, Yang ngchen swiftly and accurately inserted them into several vital points of life and death on Hua Ziyu’s body, twisting them slowly, with varying degrees of pressure.
Everyone stared at Yang ngchen’s needle-twisting hand, their emotions tense and apprehensive.
Doctor Luo believed in the young lady’s dical skills, so he wasn’t worried; instead, he watched the entirely black needles with a look of wonder in his eyes.
Glancing at the Black Needles and then at Yang ngchen, who looked calm or even cold-hearted, Long Xuanmo narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
About half an incense stick’s ti later, Yang ngchen removed the Black Needles one by one. When she pulled out the last needle, Hua Ziyu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a ‘puh’ sound, shocking everyone. Without waiting for Long Xuanmo to react, Hua Ziyu already slowly opened his eyes.
Gazing blankly at everyone, he saw his little cousin, the Luo family of four, his personal guard Black Hawk, and so unfamiliar faces. Hua Ziyu smiled.
He had never given up on himself, never given up on life, and now he had co back to life once again. What a wonderful feeling!
The crowd was overwheld with joy and cried silently, wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes.
Seeing Yang ngchen, who was kneeling beside him tidying up the Black Needles, Hua Ziyu weakly smiled sincerely and said, “Thank you for saving !”
Despite enduring the tornt of illness every day for over a decade and constantly facing the threat of death, Hua Ziyu’s eyes were clear and bright, and his smile was open and gentle. Yang ngchen felt that Hua Ziyu, like her, was candid and resolute in character, making her efforts to save him all the more worthwhile.
“I treat the illness, and you pay the silver, we owe nothing to each other!” Yang ngchen smiled lightly, and at the sa ti, she pulled a blanket over Hua Ziyu’s upper body.
Previously, due to urgency, she had no choice but to remove Hua Ziyu’s shirt. Now that the acupuncture was done and he was awake, it was no longer appropriate to leave him bare-chested, especially since there were ladies in the room. Thankfully, when she took off his robe, Sister Wanxue had quickly led Zi Jin out of the room.
Although Hua Ziyu was physically weak, he was extrely astute and understood that Yang ngchen didn’t want him to feel indebted to her for saving his life. Yet how could he really be indifferent to such a debt of gratitude? Seeing Yang ngchen covering him with the blanket, he only then realized he was bare-chested. His originally pale face flushed with a faint blush, and he hurriedly averted his eyes, daring not to look at Yang ngchen any longer.
Yang ngchen couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter at Hua Ziyu’s shy and innocent deanor.
“Black Hawk, pay the silver, ten thousand taels!” Hua Ziyu’s face turned even redder as he then instructed his personal guard.
The black-clad guard Black Hawk imdiately pulled out several silver notes from his bosom and handed them to Yang ngchen with both hands, feeling both grateful and respectful toward the young girl who had saved his master’s life.
Seeing the young girl smile so sweetly at another man, even though this man was his cousin who had always been very protective of him, Long Xuanmo still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a bone-chilling aura.
Perceiving that their master was in a bad mood, the personal guards Mo Feng and Mo Lei exchanged a glance and discreetly stepped back two paces.
The others also felt this sudden chill in the air and instinctively looked towards Long Xuanmo, not understanding why he had suddenly beco angry.
anwhile, Yang ngchen wasn’t affected by the chilling aura at all. She accepted the silver note without counting and put it in her bag, got off the bed, put on her shoes, and sat down on the chair beside it.
“Ziyu, are you all right?” Nangong Lingfei, who hurried over, rushed straight to the bedside, his face filled with anxiety and concern.
Hearing what Shopkeeper Lin said, Jingrui hurried into Ms. Yang’s elegant room with a grave expression. Doctor Luo and others had just returned to Apricot Forest Hall. He had a hunch that it must be Ziyu’s trouble that caused his brothers to show their emotions, so he took care of the restaurant affairs and rushed over.
This was the first ti Yang ngchen saw Nangong Lingfei showing his true self without pretense. She nodded silently, noticing that Nangong Lingfei truly cared for Hua Ziyu; otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried to test her dical skill over and over again.
“Don’t worry, Lingfei, I’m fine now,” Hua Ziyu smiled and reassured him: “It was that girl’s miraculous healing that brought back to life, and I feel much better. Even the heavy feeling that used to weigh on my chest seems to have lightened.”
Nangong Lingfei had guessed that Ziyu’s condition must be quite serious but hadn’t expected a resurrection from death. He suddenly felt scared retrospectively. What if Ms. Yang hadn’t been there—would Ziyu have been gone from them forever?
At this thought, Nangong Lingfei sincerely bowed to Yang ngchen: “Ms. Yang’s great kindness, I, Nangong Lingfei, will never forget! This is the token of the Nangong family. From now on, any of the people under any Nangong family’s shop will be at Ms. Yang’s command, and the finances are hers to draw upon as well!” After speaking, he took out a crystal-clear Green Jade Tag and gave it to Yang ngchen.
“Little girl, you better accept it!” Before Yang ngchen could say anything, Doctor Luo stuffed the Green Jade Tag into her hand, finding his boy uncommonly generous for once.
Lady Luo said with a smile that she should accept it.
Yang ngchen was not pretentious either, and she smiled as she put the Green Jade Tag into her bag.
“If I didn’t show my appreciation, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” Luo Jingrui took out ten thousand taels of silver notes: “Please accept this, Ninth Sister.”
Yang ngchen waved her hand: “Uncle Luo and Aunty Luo said that we are family, so I can’t accept this silver note.”
“The money Ruirui is offering is surely his private stash, ngng, you should just accept it,” Lady Luo took over the silver note and forced it into Yang ngchen’s bag.
Seeing his mother obviously favoring outsiders, Luo Jingrui couldn’t help but be amused despite himself.
And Yang ngchen’s heart was warm. Having so many people care for and love her, she felt content with her life.
Long Xuanmo glanced at Mo Feng, who then took out ten thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to Yang ngchen: “This is the Prince’s token of gratitude. Please accept it, Ms. Yang.”
Yang ngchen accepted the silver note unceremoniously.
Watching Yang ngchen, who still acted a bit childishly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Long Xuanmo’s lips.
On the other side, Nangong Lingfei softly asked Hua Ziyu, “Before I left the capital, didn’t you say you were feeling much better? How did it beco so severe?”
“I don’t know what happened. The next morning I suddenly spewed fresh blood from my mouth, and then I lost consciousness. The Imperial Physicians were at their wits’ end, Black Hawk brought Jingrui here, and that’s how we got to this place,” Hua Ziyu shook his head.
Nangong Lingfei naturally turned his head towards Yang ngchen: “Ms. Yang, could you make a few more pills for Ziyu to help his recovery?”
“He has been poisoned. If we don’t detoxify him first, taking more tonic pills will be futile!”
“What did you say?”
