Chapter 163 2nd detoxification
In the evening, after Qin Ruo finished her meal, she went to Xie's house to perform the second detoxification for Si Heng.
The Xie Mansion was in a state of emergency at this moment, with guards surrounding the mansion in layer upon layer.
Accompanied by Nanny Zhang and Mingyue, Old Lady Xie personally stood guard outside Si Heng's room.
Inside the room, Si Heng was sitting shirtless in a steaming hot tub with a painful expression on his face. His forehead was covered with sweat, but he never uttered a word.
Cang Jiu was standing by, adding medicine into the bath. When he saw his master's expression, he became so nervous that his hands began to shake.
The last time I detoxified you, I didn’t see you in so much pain, right?
Why, it seems even more uncomfortable the second time?
"Why are you trying to be so brave? There are only three of us in the room. If it hurts, just shout out. There's no need to hold on." Qin Ruo said to Si Heng in annoyance.
"No...it doesn't hurt. I'm fine." Si Heng gritted his teeth and squeezed out a trembling word from his throat.
Seeing Qin Ruo's gaze fixed on him, Si Heng's handsome face suddenly turned red.
Fortunately, the hot air just covered up his unnatural expression.
The medicinal baths used for Yanhanyin detoxification were all prepared by Qin Ruo herself, and contained extremely powerful herbs such as Diyangcao.
During the detoxification process, all toxic activity in the body is mobilized, and the pain is no less than when the poison takes effect.
First, the poison is forced out of the victim's body through a medicinal bath, then acupuncture is applied, and finally, decoctions are used as an aid.
The dosage of the medicine used this time was even heavier than the first time. The man in front of him was able to endure, and Qin Ruo admired Si Heng for this.
Half an hour later, Si Heng was helped out of the bathtub by Cang Jiu and changed into clean clothes.
At this moment, his face was frighteningly pale, a fishy and sweet taste rushed straight to his throat, and he spat out several mouthfuls of black blood.
"Miss Qin, Miss Qin..." Cang Jiu's face changed drastically and he shouted at Qin Ruo in panic.
"Why are you panicking? This is a normal detoxification phenomenon. Didn't you see it last time? Help him to the bed." Qin Ruo's expression remained unchanged as she instructed Cang Jiu to help the man over.
Old Madam Xie, who had been guarding outside the door, felt her legs and feet go weak for a moment when she heard Cang Jiu's shouting from inside the house.
Old Mr. Xie hurriedly tried to push the door open, but when his hand touched the door, he pulled it back.
Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.
"Ruo'er, what's wrong? What happened?" She took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice.
"Madam, don't worry. It's okay." Qin Ruo shouted outside.
After Cang Jiu helped Si Heng to the bed, Qin Ruo opened the medicine box and took out a box of golden needles to prepare to give Si Heng acupuncture.
Although Si Heng's body is weak now, his consciousness is still quite clear.
When he heard Qin Ruo instructing Cang Jiu to take off his underwear, he was frightened and subconsciously held on to the waistband of his pants tightly.
"Miss Qin, you, you step aside for a moment."
"Then I'll leave? Let Cang Jiu give you acupuncture? Don't waste time! Hurry up." Qin Ruo frowned. When practicing medicine, the thing she feared most was encountering uncooperative patients.
“Grandpa, grandpa, I don’t know how…” Cang Jiu looked like he was about to cry, and he shook his head like a rattle.
"Master, Miss Qin is not a stranger. Didn't I give you an injection last time? Don't be afraid..." Cang Jiu quickly added.
"Doctors don't distinguish between men and women. Mr. Si, you are so embarrassed, why don't you let Cang Jiu knock you out?"
Qin Ruo looked at Si Heng's awkward expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When detoxifying Si Heng for the first time, Qin Ruo deliberately used drugs to make him unconscious in order to avoid any problems along the way.
During the acupuncture process, Si Heng was still in a coma, so the whole process went quite smoothly.
Seeing Si Heng's reaction, Qin Ruo came back to her senses. This is the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Although the separation between men and women was not so serious in this dynasty, it did not reach the point where they were naked in front of each other.
"No need! Miss Qin, you don't mind, so why should I mind?" Si Heng gritted his teeth and finally let go of her hand.
This time he specifically requested to accept the detoxification process soberly. Who can blame anyone for the path he chose?
After Cang Jiu took off his underwear, he covered Si Heng's key parts with a clean towel that he had prepared earlier.
Qin Ruo easily placed the first needle on Si Heng's body. A quarter of an hour later, Si Heng was covered with golden needles from head to toe.
Si Heng lay motionless on the bed, not knowing where to put his eyes, and finally he simply closed his eyes.
After Qin Ruojing had finished the operation, she poured herself a cup of tea and waited for the acupuncture to end.
Cang Jiu was very tactful and found a geography book to help Qin Ruo pass the time.
Half an hour later, the acupuncture was finished, and Madam Xie came in with Nanny Zhang, carrying the medicine that had been prepared long ago.
After drinking the medicine, Si Heng soon fell into a deep sleep.
Old Madam Xie left Cang Jiu to look after Si Heng and took Qin Ruo back to the Hefengju courtyard.
When Mrs. Xie learned from Qin Ruo that the remaining poison in Si Heng's body could be completely eliminated with just one more treatment, she was so excited that she burst into tears.
"Ruo'er, thank you for your kindness. Heng'er and I owe you a huge favor. If you need anything from the Xie family in the future, just let me know. There's no need to be so formal between you and me." Old Madam Xie held Qin Ruo's hand tightly, her eyes full of gratitude.
Old Madam Xie felt that her greatest luck in coming to Taihe County was meeting the little girl Qin Ruo, who completely changed Si Heng's fate.
After my nephew had suffered so much, he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Madam, you are too polite. Mr. Si paid my medical fees, so there is no such thing as owing him a favor." Qin Ruo responded to Madam Xie's words appropriately.
Nanny Zhang held a handkerchief and kept pressing the corners of her eyes. She was also in a state of unrest.
She quickly sent Mingyue to the kitchen and asked someone to bring up the cooked chicken soup. Qin Ruo had been busy all night, and she was thinking that she must nourish Qin Ruo's body.
"Ruo'er, you must be tired after being busy all night. If you drink a little too much, I think you should not go back tonight. It would be bad if you are exhausted from running back and forth. I asked Mingyue to clean up the guest room, you can stay in the mansion tonight."
Old Madam Xie personally served Qin Ruo a bowl of chicken soup and warmly invited Qin Ruo to stay at Xie’s house tonight.
In fact, detoxification is not as physically demanding as the ancients thought, and Cang Jiu is there to help.
Qin Ruo had already had dinner before coming here, so she was not hungry now. However, she felt embarrassed to refuse Madam Xie's kindness, so she took the bowl of chicken soup.
"No need, old lady. Tiao Tiao is still waiting for me at home. If I really stay, he will be anxious."
Xie's house and Qin's house were only one street apart, and it only took a cup of tea to get there. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as a dog's nest, and it is still more comfortable to live in your own home.
After drinking the chicken soup, Qin Ruo said goodbye to Madam Xie and went home.
As soon as she got on Butler Ren's carriage, a young and pretty girl appeared at the door of Xie's house. She looked at Qin Ruo's receding back, her eyes full of inquiry.
