Chapter 1236: If You Want to Be Cured, You Have to Endure
Xie Yu was angry, "Are you trying to kill me?"Bai Zhi’er blinked her round eyes, "If I wanted to harm you, these needles wouldn’t be in your ankle but would pierce your heart."
Xie Yu immediately clutched his chest.
"You malicious woman...!"
Bai Zhi’er noticed that when he cursed in a low voice, he resembled a fierce little animal.
Although fierce, it didn’t have much intimidation.
Perhaps this was because, during Xie Yu’s childhood, he was constantly oppressed by the Regent King.
He needed to feign weakness and ingratiate himself to maintain his throne in this court, as treacherous as walking on thin ice.
Children who grew up like this often use a fierce exterior to conceal their somewhat timid hearts.
Because they had never experienced the feeling of being treated kindly since childhood.
Seeing that Xie Yu seemed to be a year or two younger than she was, Bai Zhi’er did not want to argue with him.
She stepped forward, "Don’t move, let me take a closer look."
"Hmm... The places where the silver needles went in have faint bruises, your ankle isn’t recovering well."
Xie Yu sneered, "Thanks to your friend’s father, bestowed by the Regent King."
"However, even though I am unable to walk whenever my old ailment flares up, now the Regent King, old and frail, must be having an even harder time, right?"
Bai Zhi’er knew Xie Yu said this because the Regent King had been terrified by Xie Yu’s torment before.
She didn’t follow along with this comment.
Bai Zhi’er turned her head to the Imperial Physician standing nearby, "Bring me the records of the Emperor’s pulse diagnosis over the years."
The Imperial Physician hesitated, "This..."
He looked towards Xie Yu.
Xie Yu had already let down some of his guard towards Bai Zhi’er.
After all, he had just witnessed Bai Zhi’er’s skills.
He knew that if she wanted to kill, it wouldn’t be something the Imperial Guard could stop.
Xie Yu lifted his chin, a bit disdainful, "Let her see, I don’t believe that this stubborn illness lasting seven or eight years, which so many reputed doctors couldn’t cure, can be solved by you with just a glance?"
Bai Zhi’er shook her head, "Feel free to talk, the more you say, the more it shows your inner panic and lack of confidence."
Xie Yu was taken aback, annoyed, "I am not!"
Bai Zhi’er sat at the edge of the bed, "Alright, alright, you’re not."
This tone made Xie Yu feel like a naughty child.
He huffed, crossing his arms and leaning against the bed curtain.
Bai Zhi’er opened the medical records, carefully going through each item.
"The renowned doctors seem to have done their best; when you fell from the horse, your whole leg should have been crippled."
"The fact that you can still walk somewhat is thanks to their efforts to preserve."
In addition to the many years of treatment, Xie Yu hasn’t become a complete invalid.
The Chief Eunuch couldn’t help but speak, "But it seems that the current prescriptions are ineffective for the Emperor’s old ailment."
"Previously, when it hurt, just a few doses of medicine would help, but later, it would still ache faintly even after taking medicine, yet the Emperor could still walk."
"However, in the last two episodes, the Emperor couldn’t even stand!"
Bai Zhi’er glanced at the silver needles in his ankle, her dark eyes brewing with thought.
"This indicates that his liver fire is attacking his heart recently, and his body’s recovery is worse, so the gentle properties of past medicines naturally don’t work anymore."
Bai Zhi’er pondered for a moment, stood up, and removed the silver needles one by one.
She changed a few acupuncture points and re-inserted them.
As soon as the first needle went in, Xie Yu cried out in pain.
His fair, handsome face was immediately covered in cold sweat.
The Chief Eunuch grew nervous, "Don’t harm the Emperor!"
Bai Zhi’er glanced at them sideways, "If you want to heal, you must endure."
