A Miraculous Healing Hand
However, what puzzled Yin Yunze was...
The woman looked pretty, but she wasn't exactly a beauty.
And judging from her age, she is at least in her forties, which doesn't seem like the typical mistress who needs to Keeping a Beauty in a Golden House.
At first glance, if you said she was Liu Zhengyuan's legal wife, Yin Yunze would have believed you.
However, the protection of Dynastic Karmic Luck cannot be faked.
"Ouch! Cough, cough, cough----"
Upon seeing Yin Yunze suddenly appear, the older woman gasped in surprise, then began to cough violently.
Coughing, the woman pointed at Yin Yunze and said, "Zhengyuan —cough, cough, cough, there's a demon—"
"Rou'er, shut up!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan was greatly surprised and quickly stepped forward to cover the woman's mouth, while scolding her, "Rou'er, don't be so presumptuous!"
This is the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens, a third-rank county princess bestowed by imperial decree.
Yin Yunze didn't really care about being called a fox demon. Yin Yunze had already passed the stage where he needed to care about the words of ordinary mortals.
Moreover, it's normal for Yin Yunze to be called a fox demon because he openly displays his fox ears and tail.
"Comparing the issue of address----"
Seeing the woman's eyes rolling back as Liu Zhengyuan covered her mouth, her hands gripping the sheets tightly, Yin Yunze kindly reminded her, "Hey, Lord Liu, if you don't let go, you're going to smother her to death—"
Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, Liu Zhengyuan realized what was happening and quickly let go of his hand.
Having finally caught her breath, Xie Rou suddenly burst into a violent, heart-wrenching cough.
Moreover, this heart-wrenching pain is not just an adjective.
Because Yin Yunze clearly saw that Xie Rou coughed and coughed, not only coughing up a mouthful of blood, but also coughing up a piece of flesh.
If Yin Yunze wasn't mistaken, those were fragments of a lung.
Perhaps influenced by Xie Rou, the little girl also began to cough violently.
And, similarly, he coughed up fresh blood and a small piece of lung tissue.
"County Princess----"
Upon seeing this, Liu Zhengyuan immediately looked at Yin Yunze with great anxiety.
"My only request is that Your Highness protect my mother and daughter so that they may live a safe and peaceful life from now on!"
He casually injected a Heal Wounds and Cure Illness into Xie Rou and the little girl, relieving their symptoms.
Yin Yunze looked at Liu Zhengyuan and asked softly, "You're asking me to help, so what about the Nectar Pill I gave you? Why aren't you feeding them?"
To be honest, Yin Yunze really didn't understand.
After all, Yin Yunze's favor was far more valuable than those few Nectar Pill.
"I've used all the Nectar Pill in the capital—"
Looking at Yin Yunze, Liu Zhengyuan subtly mentioned it before saying, "As for the Nectar Water that the county princess gave me, I did take it back and feed it to the mother and daughter once. However, although it was effective at first, the old illness quickly relapsed—"
"That shouldn't be!"
Hearing Liu Zhengyuan say this, Yin Yunze was immediately puzzled.
However, Liu Zhengyuan's words also made Yin Yunze understand why he wanted to help him obtain the title of a third-rank county princess.
Originally, Yin Yunze thought Liu Zhengyuan was just proactive. Now it seems he had been prepared for this all along.
However, Liu Zhengyuan's thinking was correct.
If half a cup of Nectar Water is ineffective, then a whole Nectar Pill will probably not be very effective either.
After all, nectar isn't a magic potion that can truly bring the dead back to life.
Since the elixir had no effect, Yin Yunze couldn't help but think of a possibility often seen in TV dramas, "So, is this an Innate disease? Or is it Lineage disease? So, both mother and daughter have the same illness?"
The nectar is indeed miraculous; it can even regenerate severed limbs.
However, if it's an Innate disease or a genetic defect, the results might not be as good.
However, after thinking about it, Yin Yunze felt something was amiss.
How could the innate spiritual treasure of the Innate Holy Spirit be such an inconvenient thing?!
If such mythical creations were to adhere to scientific logic, it would be quite illogical.
This is not magic at all!
Liu Zhengyuan's answer confirmed Yin Yunze's guess, "No! Rou'er and Qian'er were both very healthy at first! It's just that one day, they suddenly contracted this terrible illness—which hasn't gotten better—after taking the county princess's Nectar Water— "
Is that so?
Upon hearing Liu Zhengyuan's words, Yin Yunze thought of another, simpler possibility.
However, because Xie Rou's illness is internal, this possibility is easily overlooked.
With his gaze fixed on Xie Rou and aided by the Power of Incense Offerings, Yin Yunze began to use his Qi-observation technique.
Soon, in Yin Yunze's eyes, Xie Rou transformed from a person into a ball of predominantly orange-yellow energy.
Upon closer inspection, Yin Yunze soon spotted the lesions inside her body.
Compared to the healthy orange-red color of other parts of her body, Xie Rou's lungs appeared an unhealthy dark purple.
Furthermore, there were numerous, densely packed black spots on the lungs.
It's unclear whether it was Yin Yunze's imagination or because the black dots were too dense.
Yin Yunze felt that these black dots seemed to be moving?
However, this method of observing qi can only reveal so much.
Yin Yunze would have to take it out and examine it to find out the specifics.
Turning to look at Liu Zhengyuan, Yin Yunze said softly, "Lord Liu, I think I understand the reason! However, my next actions might be a little rough—"
"It doesn't matter! As long as it works!"
Liu Zhengyuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and bowed to Yin Yunze in gratitude, saying, "Princess, please feel free to proceed. I thank you in advance!"
"Hmm." Turning to look at Xie Rou, Yin Yunze said softly, "You might feel a little uncomfortable, just bear with it."
"Ahem----Yes----"
Although she was not very brave, Xie Rou was still somewhat afraid of Yin Yunze, who looked like a fox demon.
However, trusting Liu Zhengyuan and having heard of Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens's reputation, Xie Rou didn't back down. She nodded and said, "Thank you, cough cough, thank you for your trouble, Your Highness—"
Seeing that Xie Rou was ready, Yin Yunze first took out the Mutton-Fat Jade Purification Vase and took out a drop of nectar from it.
Then, Yin Yunze walked up to Xie Rou and slowly lowered his body.
Xie Rou, seeing Yin Yunze approaching, turned her head away somewhat embarrassed.
At that moment, a flash of electricity appeared on Yin Yunze's right hand.
With a speed that would be impossible for an ordinary person to react to, Yin Yunze cut open Xie Rou's chest, removed the lung from which the lesion had developed, and then took it out entirely.
At the same time, the nectar from Yin Yunze's left hand dripped into Xie Rou's wound, catalyzing its full effect.
Only after confirming that Xie Rou had grown a new lung did Yin Yunze nod in satisfaction.
Yin Yunze doesn't know much about medicine, so don't expect Yin Yunze to have any advanced techniques.
With the nectar, Yin Yunze needs to do is cut off the parts that are not right, and then use the nectar to grow new ones.
Aside from the brain, this method can be applied to any part of the body without any thought.
As the new lung grew, Yin Yunze carefully observed it using the Qi Observation Technique.
This time, Xie Rou's entire body had a healthy orange-red hue.
Sure enough, it wasn't that the nectar hadn't worked; rather, the simplest situation had arisen.
That's a wound that had already healed, but someone cut it open again.
Even the most potent nectar can only heal your current injuries.
What does it have to do with whether the nectar had taken effect after you were injured again?
However, the sudden appearance of new wounds inside the body is indeed somewhat beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Therefore, based on the results, Liu Zhengyuan could only conclude that Yin Yunze's Ganlu could only alleviate the symptoms, but not cure Xie Rou and her daughter.
After confirming that Xie Rou was unharmed, Yin Yunze turned to look at the diseased lung that had been removed.
Yin Yunze wanted to see what could make even the sweet dew ineffective.
Damn it!
Upon seeing the diseased lung clearly, Yin Yunze exclaimed in surprise, and a blazing Fox Fire ignited in his hand, enveloping the diseased lung.
Then, Yin Yunze casually tossed the diseased lung onto the ground.
At the same time, Yin Yunze took out the Mutton-Fat Jade Purification Vase, poured out clean water, and began to wash his right hand.
Because everything happened in the blink of an eye, Xie Rou felt a tingling sensation in her chest, and then she felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
Then, Xie Rou saw Yin Yunze exclaim in surprise and throw a ball of fire onto the ground.
Watching Yin Yunze wash his right hand, Xie Rou was also somewhat puzzled. "Your Highness, what's this on the ground—?"
After washing it three times, Yin Yunze still felt it wasn't clean enough, and subconsciously replied, "It's nothing, just your lungs."
"What?! This—I—how can I live without lungs?!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Rou's face turned pale, and she instinctively reached out to cover her chest.
However, Xie Rou felt that not having lungs was not uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, she felt more comfortable than ever before.
Xie Rou even couldn't help but think that if things could continue like this, being lungless would actually be better.
After all, Xie Rou didn't want to experience that kind of pain, like insects gnawing at her lungs every day, again!
"Ah, no!" Realizing what was happening, Yin Yunze quickly explained, "It's okay, the one I burned was rotten. I got you a brand new one, 100% brand new, like a baby's—"
Hearing Yin Yunze's words, Xie Rou's expression stiffened, and she muttered to herself.
This Lady Yuanjun is quite different from the rumors—"
Ignoring Xie Rou's feelings, Yin Yunze looked at Liu Zhengyuan and said, "I think I know what the problem is with your wife and daughter."
What exactly happened to them?
When asked this question, Liu Zhengyuan didn't seem confused; instead, his face was serious.
Really----"
Seeing Liu Zhengyuan's expression, Yin Yunze understood why Liu Zhengyuan had initially said that this matter would put Yin Yunze in a difficult position.
After all, there's nothing difficult about treating just two people.
Clearly, the difficulty lies in what happens after the rescue.
Rescuing this mother and daughter is probably just the beginning.
However, having already started, Yin Yunze naturally wouldn't give up halfway.
Moreover, to be honest, this person's methods were too ruthless; even Yin Yunze couldn't stand it anymore!
"The explanation isn't very clear, you should see for yourself."
After saying something to Liu Zhengyuan, Yin Yunze took out another drop of nectar and went to the little girl who was still coughing.
A hint of pity appeared on his face as Yin Yunze spoke softly to the little girl, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to heal you."
The little girl nodded resolutely, but before she could speak, she coughed repeatedly. "Um! Cough cough----"
Seeing the little girl like this, Yin Yunze immediately took action.
Lightning paralysis, cutting open the wound, removing the diseased lung, and a new lung growing.
However, this time, Yin Yunze didn't touch the little girl's diseased lungs.
After removing the diseased lung, Yin Yunze immediately sealed it in a crystal-clear block of ice.
After confirming that the little girl was alright, Yin Yunze turned to look at Liu Zhengyuan, who was staring intently at the diseased lung in the ice, and said softly, "Do you understand now?"
Inside the ice was a diseased lung, resembling a honeycomb briquette, most of which had rotted away.
What's even more shocking is that the diseased lungs are covered with countless white maggots the size of ants.
Even though Yin Yunze had frozen them, they were still stubbornly wriggling and gnawing at the diseased lung.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would believe that this was a fresh, live lung just taken from a girl's body?
Looking at the diseased lung removed from Liu Qian's body, Liu Zhengyuan's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I knew it! That poisonous woman!"
