Chapter 91b: Her Ability
Seeing Nalan Ye so concerned, Luo Qing Luan also felt disinclined to tease him anymore and got up while responding, “Don’t say such things like all of you belong to me. Just give me one million taels later. Furthermore, the poison your subordinate contracted is very special. We have to wait until all of the poison appears before we can treat him. Otherwise, even if we temporarily separate some of it, within a short period of time, what’s still hidden inside will break out again. Moreover, it will be more and more ferocious, and he will only be in more and more of a mess.”
Unable to suppress a mischievous smile, Luo Qing Luan said, “Last night, all of you had quite a difficult time sleeping, right?”
Nalan Ye was shocked. Indeed, it was as she said.
Last night, the three pretty good doctors who were his subordinates was giving Yuan Shan treatment. After they did, not only did they fail, the situation became worse and worse instead.
At the start, they even thought the poison had been removed. Unexpectedly, they felt relieved for but a short time, before Yuan Shan was still unconscious, yet the poison came back again. They continued to try to save him until later on, they basically acted in confusion, unable to do anything about it, so much so that one of the doctors wasn’t careful and cut his own finger, resulting in the poison entering his body. If the doctor didn’t promptly cut off his own finger, maybe he would already be another patient lying down alongside Yuan Shan.
Since Luo Qing Luan was able to name a price, then that was additional proof that she could provide the cure.
A bright light seemingly passing through Nalan Ye’s eyes, he calmly watched as Luo Qing Luan walked in front of the bed and sat down. Opening Yuan Shan’s eyelids, she studied his condition then inspected all of his body again. Uncovering the clothes on his chest, she helped him sit up first before speaking. “Needles.”
Having prepared all kinds of implements early on, Nalan Ye just simply played the role of her assistant, immediately unrolling the cloth fitted with silver needles, then handed it over to Luo Qing Luan.
With a sweep of her eyes, Luo Qing Luan already picked up a needle about three inches long, then aimed at Yuan Shan’s chest and inserted it.
Her movements were skilful and fast, as if she practically didn’t need to look. In a flash, Luo Qing Luan already inserted over seven silver needles. These techniques were somewhat similar to those employed last night, but very quickly, Nalan Ye realized that they weren’t the same.
Luo Qing Luan grabbed Yuan Shan’s hand. Bit by bit, she pinched his arm bit by bit along a straight line, as if there wasn’t any significance to her actions whatsoever. After a short period of time, the answer became clear. At the ends of the ten plus silver needles inserted into his body, a black liquid actually seeped out, slowly dripping down.
Luo Qing Luan immediately grabbed a plain white cloth at the head of the bed and caught this black blood with a fishy stench. Watching the plain white cloth gradually turn dark as it caught drop after drop of black blood, although Nalan Ye already had some expectations, he still sighed with admiration over her method. Although the cure wasn’t completed yet, after an hour, Yuan Shan’s face’s ash gray already went away quite a bit. But Luo Qing Luan still didn’t stop. Following a set pattern, she started again to insert a needle into his head, but this time, she only inserted one needle.
These kinds of poison was very difficult to deal with. Even when coming into contact with the skin only, there was still a danger of being poisoned. Previously, the poison forced out from inside his body was not as bad, having been caught, it wouldn’t drip on his body, but his head was the crucial point, especially the Baihui acupuncture point at the middle of his head. A little carelessness could cause the blood to flow backwards, adding injury to injury.
After two hours, fine beads of sweat already collected on Luo Qing Luan’s forehead. The date was already January eleventh, yet she was still so hot. It was obvious that her care, cautiousness, and mental focus as well as physical efforts wasn’t ordinary.
Nalan Ye’s heart ached watching, but yet didn’t dare to rashly go touch her. Without much effort, he made hand signals while standing behind her. His subordinates concealed in a secret place understood and immediately left to prepare things for bathing and hot tea. Once she ended the treatment, she could then rest properly.
After another hour passed, Luo Qing Luan’s complexion already paled. She finally exhaled softly and put down the needles in her hand. “These needles can’t be reused. Burn then bury them. Your subordinate is fine now. Have your people prescribe anything to nourish his health and it’ll be fine. He should be able to wake up tonight.”
Noticing that Yuan Shan already recovered, Nalan Ye relaxed, therefore his attention completely turned to Luo Qing Luan. Seeing that her appearance was so exhausted, he couldn’t help but say, “Qing Luan, you must be tired. I had people set up everything already. You should first rest up a bit. In a moment, go take a bath. I’ll have the kitchen prepare something for you to eat again.”
Accepting the tea he handed over, the temperature was just right. Luo Qing Luan lifted her gaze. “One million taels, remember.”
She actually forgot all about her tiredness at the moment and even thought of money? Nalan Ye no longer knew what to say about her as his heart ached, “Fine. Don’t worry, I’ll immediately have someone prepare it for you. Two million taels, how’s that, are you happy?”
He even thought that Luo Qing Luan would be pleasantly surprised and say that she’s happy. Who knew she would put her cup down, glance at him, and say, “Didn’t you already say that all of you is mine? What, is it such a grand gesture to give me two million taels?”
Suddenly not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Nalan Ye couldn’t help but say, “Are you really that short on money?”
“How can I not? I’m telling you, Nalan Ye, there’s nothing reliable in this world. Only money inside my own pocket is what will make me most reassured.” Luo Qing Luan had relaxed a bit, her complexion recovering a little. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile, “If you’re really thankful, then it’s best that you introduce me to a few ways to get rich or some connections to that purpose, then I can relax.
