The room was silent. Lu Chi felt a warm current flowing from the needle tip, traveling along the acupoints throughout his body, making him feel warm and comfortable.
The silver needles remained on the body for about half an hour before being removed.
Lu Chi vaguely heard a thud, followed by the slightly unnatural sound of Jin Shanyao.
"The bottle contains ginkgo nuts; eat one if you get poisoned again."
Lu Chi rubbed his ears in disbelief. "Ginkgo nuts, a gift for me? They can cure all poisons?"
Jin Shanyao hummed indifferently, picked up her needle case, and walked out.
Lu Chi was so overwhelmed by the huge surprise that he was dizzy and laughed like a fool, clutching the porcelain bottle. The laughter grew louder and louder.
He rolled off the kang (a Jin Shanyao's arm urgently, and said, "If I eat now, will I no longer need acupuncture every day?"
"The poison in your body has been completely neutralized; you don't need to eat ginkgo nuts."
She used Spiritual Power to apply acupuncture, forcing out the last bit of toxin from Lu Chi's body.
"What's all explained?" Lu Chi was momentarily dazed... It took him a long time to realize what Jin Shanyao had said.
The poison that had tormented him since birth was easily neutralized by the Jin Shanyao.
For some reason, Lu Chi felt an urge to cry. He used to complain about the unfairness of fate, but now he felt that he was extremely lucky.
He smacked his forehead in frustration, regretting that he should have let Jin Shanyao him again.
Two bottles of ginkgo seeds, one for my aunt, just enough to save her life.
In the capital, the Empress held a thin piece of paper, weeping uncontrollably.
The Crown Prince comforted her, saying, "Mother, you should be happy that your cousin isn't dead."
The Empress wiped away her tears. "Yes, I should be happy for you." She read the letter over and over again. There was only one sentence on the paper. "Be safe and well, do not worry. You have been cured of the poison."
"Why didn't this child write more words?"
"Mother, my cousin was fortunate enough to meet Lord Zhao in that remote border town. Now that the Marquis of Zhenyuan has already passed away, outsiders believe my cousin is dead."
A ruthless glint flashed in the Empress's eyes. "That Lady Wei, wants her son to be the heir? Dream on. As long as I'm alive, they'll never Chi'er."
"Mother, should we inform my cousin of his death?"
The Empress glared at the Crown Prince, wrung out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and wrote back to him: if he wants to stay away from trouble, I will adopt him as my godson; if he wants to compete, he can only become the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
Lu Chi was the only bloodline left by her sister, and he grew up under her care. The fact that Marquis Zhenyuan and Lady Wei dared to treat him like this showed that they didn't respect her and the Crown Prince.
If Lu Chi wanted to use this as an excuse to get away, she would make the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion disappear completely.
On the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Meng Anci his birthday.
Jin Shanyao took her two little ones to the street to buy New Year's goods. But what she called buying New Year's goods was really just browsing and eating.
Because of the Chinese New Year, the streets were full of stalls. Meng Anzhi and Meng Anci had never set off firecrackers before, and they kept asking to buy some.
Jin Shanyao was terrified of being struck by lightning and was afraid of anything that crackled and popped.
But she couldn't take away the child's happiness, so she gritted her teeth and bought two strings of firecrackers, which she hung around the little boy's neck.
They held candied hawthorns in their hands, painted sugar pictures, and every two steps they would Jin Shanyao and feed each other a piece of pastry; their little expressions were incredibly content.
Just then, a commotion erupted in the street, followed by a woman's startled cry, " Chen Lang... Chen Lang, what's wrong? Someone help me!"
Jin Shanyao around and saw a crowd gathered where she had just passed.
The various voices blended together, making it impossible to count them all. Passersby whispered, "What a pity, so young and already in poor health."
"He looks so tall and strong, how could he just faint like that?"
Hearing that someone had fainted in the street, Meng Anzhi looked up and said, "Auntie, let's go take a look."
Jin Shanyao her head and led the two of them quickly through the crowd.
"Make way, make way, I'm a doctor."
As soon as Jin Shanyao speaking, a girl grabbed her arm tightly, crying pitifully with tears streaming down her face.
With her Jin Shanyao, all she could see were men lying on the ground, unable to get up; she had no time to look at the beauties.
She shoved the man aside, bent down and pressed her ear against his chest, causing those around to gasp.
Seeing her lover being humiliated, the girl forgot to cry... She pointed at the Jin Shanyao, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
Jin Shanyao, he felt his ears ringing like drums, his heart pounding so fast—it was clearly a heart condition.
She got up and took out silver needles. " Anzhi, listen to the location of the heart."
Meng Anzhi pressed her ear against the spot where the Jin Shanyao, and everyone around was stunned.
This is utterly depraved... Even after people have gone this far, this woman still hasn't forgotten to teach her apprentices.
As soon as the Jin Shanyao the first needle, the man took a deep breath and woke up.
He looked around in confusion, and when he saw his lover, he thought of the touch in her palm and felt a strange dizziness.
Jin Shanyao there, stunned, holding the silver needles. Was her medical skill really that high? The person woke up with just one needle. Was she even more amazing than Shennong?
She hurriedly shook her head to clear her mind. There is a sequence to learning, and everyone has their own expertise. If she, a ginkgo tree, is said to control the growth of all things, then she must have superb skills and profound Law Power.
If she were to say she brought the dead back to life, she'd be afraid Shennong would come after her, which would be like kicking someone out of their job.
The woman with the Jin Shanyao interrupted the couple's deep gaze and humbly inquired, "Young master, what discomfort did you experience before you fainted?"
The man blushed and looked to his side.
Jin Shanyao his head, "Don't look at her, look at me."
The man was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, saying, "Young lady, what are you doing? I have a fiancée, please don't lay a hand on me."
No, how can this person talk such nonsense? She only touched his head with her hand, without moving her foot, so why is she making false accusations against the tree?
Jin Shanyao, adhering to her principle of not arguing with fools, coldly stated, "The consultation fee is one tael of silver."
"What? One or two ounces? Why don't you just rob someone?"
Upon hearing this, the man's voice suddenly rose, Jin Shanyao snort. "Isn't she just robbing me now?"
"What, is your life worth less than an ounce?" Jin Shanyao her little hand and said righteously.
The man gritted his teeth, took out an ounce or two and gave it to her, then happily Jin Shanyao away.
He kindly reminded him, "Young master, you have a weak heart; you faint easily when you get excited. If you faint again, you can go to the Anzhi Hall to see Doctor Meng."
Thinking they had encountered a scoundrel, the man quickly pulled his fiancée away.
As the crowd dispersed, Jin Shanyao Meng Anci over her head, letting him ride on her shoulders, and then grabbed Meng Anzhi and held her in her arms.
"Let's go shopping."
The two little ones were startled by this sudden action and cried out, then hugged Jin Shanyao's head and laughed nonstop.
Passersby couldn't help but shake their heads at the sight; they'd seen people spoil children before, but never one spoiled like this.
How old is he? Still carrying him? Are you treating him like a walnut shell?
