In the end, silver needles were even inserted into his head. Wei Tingyu closed his eyes slightly without frowning.
After that, Wei Tingyu almost became a hedgehog. Xiaocao asked him to put his arms down, took out the stool from the tub, sat directly at the bottom of the tub, and began to add water and medicine to the tub. "The water temperature is much higher than usual. Can you bear it?"
"Well, it's okay, you can continue." After all, don't add too much heat at once, do it step by step, you can bear it.
Xiaocao carefully controlled the temperature, making the water as high as possible without causing burns, until it reached above her shoulders.
After finishing, Xiaocao spoke again to confirm.
"Don't worry, Xuan'er, it's okay. - The silver needles are also soaked in the water." She simply changed the subject.
"Yeah, it'll be fine." Xiao Cao assured.
"There is naturally no problem with Xuan'er doing this, it's just the first time I see it, so it's a little novel." Wei Tingyu said with a smile.
Xiaocao also smiled. To prevent the medicine from cooling too quickly, Xiaocao covered it with a lid. The head of the Wei prince was outside. He looked, how should I put it, kind of funny. Xiaocao moved a stool over and sat on the edge of the tub. She reached out to touch Wei Tingyu's hair. Although it was all tied up and tied on his head before, some of the short and messy hair at the bottom was still wet.
The grass smoothed the wet hair upwards, and after sticking it slightly together, it lifted up again. The grass smoothed it again, over and over again without getting tired of it, looking extremely bored.
Wei Tingyu also let her do what she wanted, watching quietly with a gentle expression, as if as long as he watched her like this, they would last forever.
I don't know how long it took, Xiaocao said, "Tingyu, can you get me some of that medicine?"
"Huh? What medicine?" Wei Tingyu asked puzzledly.
"This is the medicine that made you what you are now." Xiaocao's tone was flat, but the murderous intent that flashed in her eyes was so real. She had saved countless people, and had never had such murderous intent towards anyone before.
In fact, the medicine is essentially poison. It just destroys the functions of various organs in the human body, causing the body to rapidly deteriorate. Then various diseases will follow and cannot be easily cured. The diseases will also cause damage to the body, forming a vicious circle and rapidly shortening lifespan. If you want to save him, it is not only necessary to stop the disease from getting worse, but also to find a way to revive his body functions. She can do the former, but the latter is really difficult.
However, given his current physical condition, even if he stopped his further decline, he wouldn't live long. However, the rejuvenation of a dead tree... this was almost equivalent to the realm of immortality - a little serious.
It is always easier to destroy than to rebuild, especially for a living being.
So, actually, the medicine wouldn't be of much use. Xiaocao just wasn't giving up and wanted to see if he could find some inspiration from studying the composition of the medicine.
"As long as she still has it, we can get it." With Wei Tingyu's current ability, he still has this confidence.
"Even if she doesn't have it anymore, she can always find out where she got it from. No matter how many times it changes hands, we can always find the source by following the clues. Once the source is found, things will be easier." She doesn't even need to study the ingredients inside.
Wei Tingyu nodded and said, "I'll do it later." He would spare no effort to get what Xiaocao wanted.
It's fine to just mention this matter. Later, Xiaocao accompanied Wei Tingyu to talk. Although they didn't chat casually, it felt a bit like before. It takes about half an hour to soak. If you sit there motionless for half an hour, your body will definitely be stiff. So, Xiaocao, as a joke, really doesn't mind him moving around in there and playing with the water.
As time went by, Wei Tingyu began to feel a little different. His body was warm. This was normal because he was soaking in hot water. However, because his body temperature was low all year round, taking hot baths was a common occurrence for him. So he knew very well whether it was the hot water that made his body warm, or whether it was his body itself that was warming up.
Because of this change, he immediately told Xiaocao about the situation. As for how to cooperate as a patient, Wei Tingyu is definitely the most experienced. After all, he had a weak foundation in the past few years, and Xiaocao had nursed him back to health, so he had already been trained.
After hearing this, Xiaocao was also somewhat excited, "It seems that there is a certain effect, but how effective it is remains to be seen." However, given Wei Tingyu's current situation, even if there is only one point of effect, it is worth being happy about.
Before Wei Tingyu finished his medicinal bath, some people came to say goodbye. People like Wen Renhui could definitely stay overnight at the Wenren Family, but people like Zhen Muyao and Fan Wuguo only came to the Wenren Family because of Xiaocao, so they would definitely come to see her before leaving.
The schedules of these two people almost coincided, that is, one after the other.
Fan Wuguo was at the men's table, and he had also served as a best man to help entertain the bride. Given his status, he must have been an important guest, so it was naturally not so easy for him to leave. However, he had always been uninterested in these things, and he was also very decisive in his temper. If he said he would leave, he would leave, and no one dared to stop him.
They were all unhappy about not seeing Xiaocao for a long time today.
Each one of them was like a little kid, Xiaocao patiently explained to them and coaxed them into silence.
But when it comes to Duke Xu's Mansion, both Zhen Muyao and Fan Wuguo are disdainful. Regardless of the title of Duke, the main thing is the foul atmosphere in Duke Xu's Mansion. Outsiders would shake their heads when they talk about it. Even if there are a few people with good abilities, their future will be affected by the bad reputation. Besides, as the saying goes, "A red plum becomes red when it is close to a red plum, and a black plum becomes black when it is close to a black plum." In such an environment, even if you have some abilities, your personal morality will be worrying.
"According to what you said, Sister Xuan, there is a 90% chance that they will come back to you. Don't bother with them. The Xuguo Mansion, a mere mansion, wouldn't dare to cause trouble for your family." Zhen Muyao said very loyally that if Sister Xuan encountered any problems, she would definitely help to deal with them.
Fan Wuguo glanced at her belly and said, "What's your situation? Don't you have any idea? Forget it. If my sister is going to encounter something and needs a pregnant woman like you to get involved, then I can just hang myself with a rope, right?"
Zhen Muyao was pregnant, and basically had no reaction. If I really had to say something, it was probably that her temper got a little worse. However, it was Jianshu who usually bore the brunt of it. He was absolutely patient with Zhen Muyao, so he didn't feel anything. But now...
"Fan Wuguo, will you die if you don't argue with me?" She raised her eyebrows, glared, and put her hands on her hips, looking like a typical shrew.
Fan Wuguo couldn't help but blink and took a step back. He and Zhen Muyao were "drinking buddies" and "happy enemies". If they were of the same gender, they would definitely be friends who hang out together. However, Zhen Muyao's temperament was more straightforward and casual, and his upbringing was not bad at all. Just like now, it was really... rare...
"What's wrong with being pregnant? Aren't pregnant women better?" She looked at Fan Wuguo sinisterly, then took two steps closer. When Fan Wuguo subconsciously stepped back, she showed a look of contempt and disdain, "If you, little bully, see this, you have to step back too."
Fan Wuguo quickly raised his palms forward and said, "Stop, stop, okay, okay, you're awesome, you're the boss, I can't afford to offend you." Then he looked at the man who was following him like a young wife, staring at Zhen Muyao all the time, as if he was ready to take the blame at any time. He used to look down on people like Jian Shu and never understood why Zhen Muyao chose such a person. Now perhaps he understands, brother, you are a real man!
Xiaocao couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. With Mu Yao being like this, the people around him must be worried every day.
"Muyao," Xiaocao held her hand, "there are not so many things to worry about. You should just focus on taking care of your pregnancy and giving birth to a healthy baby. You don't need to worry about other things. If you worry about them, a lot of people will worry about you."
"Oh." Zhen Muyao suddenly became a little depressed.
Xiao Cao laughed, "You, this is a special period, just bear with it, it will only take a few months, you don't want your child to be born with congenital defects because of your own mistakes, right? So, be obedient, understand?"
Zhen Muyao rarely looked serious, "Sister Xuan, I understand."
"That's right. Then you and Jianshu should go back early."
Zhen Muyao nodded. She was always efficient and left as soon as she said she would.
Fan Wuguo stayed behind, Xiaocao looked at him, "Young Master, is there anything else?"
"Sister, is Wei Tingyu here with you?"
Xiao Cao raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not deny it. "I'm taking a medicinal bath."
Young Master Fan did not show any surprise at this matter. "Sister, have you read most of the books in the Imperial Hospital? Have you found a way to treat him?"
Xiaocao's expression did not change, but she did not say anything. Fan Wuguo also understood what she meant, and did not know what to say for a moment. Although he said that Wei Tingyu should die soon, he actually felt the same as Xiaocao and the others. He could get a glimpse of this from the fact that he was paying attention to Xiaocao's situation in the Imperial Hospital.
Fan Wuguo scratched his head, looking a little irritated, but perhaps because he was worried about affecting Xiaocao's mood, he quickly calmed down, "Looking at Wei Tingyu's current condition, he is much better than before. There is still time, right? There is still hope until the end, don't you think so, sister?"
Xiao Cao nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, young master, don't worry, I know what I am doing."
The little bully was only good at scolding people, not at comforting them. "Okay, I'll go first. If you need me for anything, just let me know."
"good."
By the time the grass turned back, it was almost time for the medicinal bath.
She rinsed Wei Tingyu's body with clean water and quickly took out the silver needle. Xiaocao wrapped him in a thin quilt and took him to her bedroom without saying a word. She put him on the bed, leaving the maid speechless for several times. Her expression was very interesting.
Wei Tingyu looked around and finally remained silent. When he wanted to let the Wen family stay overnight, he had thought about this good thing, but it was just a thought. Now that it has come true, he is naturally happy. Besides, he can't refute Xuan'er's decision.
However, I wonder if my mother-in-law will beat him out with a rolling pin when she finds out that I slept in Xuan'er's bed
