Chapter 46 - Acupuncture

Wei Qing was only a sharp-tongued woman, but in reality, she was nervous about him!

Thinking about it this way, the gaze he used to look at Wei Qing unconsciously softened a bit.

"What wangfei says is right. This king will definitely spare more time to accompany wangfei in the future!"

But, when it reached Wei Qing's ears, it gave her goosebumps!

Who wants you to accompany them!

She fiercely rolled her eyes at him.

Xiao Qingqian did not mind, he only thought that Wei Qing was playing with him.

Xiao Hanqi never thought that the two people, who were clearly incompatible fire and water, would actually be able to flirt around as if there was no one else present.

"Alright, since you've explained it all, then let's quickly go to Royal Grandmother for a diagnosis!" He suppressed the raging anger within his chest as he spoke in an impatient tone.

Wei Qing also had the same idea, after all, staying with Xiao Qingqian caused her to be afraid.

The academy's judge's expression suddenly changed several times, and the old wet nurse was also extremely worried.

Wei Qing looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. "The empress dowager has a headache because of it, and it's because of the illness that saved the late emperor. Acupuncture is the simplest and most effective method."

The judge's face was anxious and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He had practiced medicine for so many years, how could he not know that acupuncture was the most effective method?

However, this was the empress dowager after all, and his acupoints were so important. If he was slightly biased, this person would have been crippled. How would he dare use his head as a wager?

"Princess, please allow me to speak!"

The Academy Judge felt that with Wei Qing's young age, if she were to gamble with her life, it would truly be a pity.

Wei Qing frowned and looked at him for a while before following him to the side.

"You can speak your mind if you want."

"Esteemed wangfei, the empress dowager's illness is an old ailment. This official knows that acupuncture is the simplest method, but …"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Qing had already understood what he was worried about.

"Since I dared to suggest acupuncture, I am confident!" Of course, if you are worried about getting angered by the emperor, I can go along with a few other recipes and I will absolutely not implicate you, or even the entire Royal Hospital! "

At this moment, her eyes were exceptionally solemn, not allowing for any discussion.

The so-called 'doctor' naturally had to do his best to treat the patient. If he was worried and worried, then he would not engage in this profession!

The court judge knew very well that she had already made up her mind. Even if she were to break her word, it was impossible for her to change her mind. Hence, she didn't try to persuade her anymore.

After bringing the silver needles over, Wei Qing comforted the empress dowager with a few words, then got the old wet nurse to light up the incense that could meditate. After opening the window to air the air, she then began to treat the empress dowager's wounds.

The empress dowager was able to maintain a relaxed state at first, but as she saw the silver needles getting closer and closer to her, she couldn't help feeling nervous.

Wei Qing frowned, "Empress Dowager, if you were this nervous, Wife Sun would also be affected by you. If something were to go wrong …"

The empress dowager had originally planned to reject acupuncture, but when she saw Wei Qing's pair of eyes that were as bright as stars, she changed her mind.

Maybe she should believe in Wei Qing!

He took a deep breath and slowly relaxed.

When the first silver needle pierced into the acupoint, everyone held their breath, then the second, then the third … Until Wei Qing took out the last silver needle, everyone's heart stopped beating.

Wei Qing pursed his lips, and just as he was about to wipe the sweat off his forehead, a handkerchief appeared in his hand, slowly approaching her face.

Her heart skipped a beat as she frowned and looked over.

Xiao Qingqian originally wanted to help her wipe her sweat, but when he saw the disgust and wariness in her eyes, his hands stiffened in midair.

The two of them looked at each other for a while. Wei Qing took the handkerchief and wiped his forehead, and then placed the towel that was drenched in her sweat back into his hands.

Xiao Qingqian looked at her. Although he was furious inside and felt that she did not know what was good for her, but in front of everyone else, he could not do anything but clench his handkerchief tightly.

"Princess, would you like to rest for a bit?" The judge knew the importance of this last needle.

If this needle was the slightest bit off, then the empress dowager would be either a fool or a fool. This was precisely the reason why imperial physicians like them didn't dare to carelessly try it after so many years of being aware that acupuncture and moxibustion were effective.

Wei Qing was indeed a little nervous as she stood up and took a few deep breaths. After she relaxed, her actions were quick and accurate.

Yet, when they saw the empress dowager slowly close her eyes again, and the tight lump between her eyebrows slowly relax, the suspense in their hearts finally subsided.

At the moment, Wei Qing's clothes were already drenched in sweat. Just now, she was tense and completely relaxed. That kind of fatigue was no less than walking forward with a heavy load of several kilometers.

Seeing her exhausted expression, Xiao Qingqian held her shoulder and said, "Go outside and rest first."

Wei Qing nodded. When he stood up, he was unsteady and his eyes turned cold.

"I'm afraid that wangfei is really tired!" As he spoke, he ignored the gazes of the crowd and carried her in his arms.

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, but after she regained her senses, she pushed at his chest with all her might.

Xiao Qingqian's face completely sunk, his eyes filled with threat.

"The relationship between Third Brother and Third Sister-in-Law is pretty good!" Xiao Hanqi didn't forget to step on her.

Old Emperor glared at him.

Although the empress dowager could sleep peacefully right now, acupuncture and moxibustion were important, and pulling out the silver needles were equally important.

At such a time, the Crown Prince had truly disappointed him by not forgetting his personal grudges!

Feeling the disappointed gaze of the Old Emperor, Xiao Hanqi realized that he was just trying to steal something from his and quickly kept quiet.

Xiao Qingqian got someone to prepare tea for Wei Qing, and when he saw that she was holding onto a teacup, his hands were trembling intensely, so he directly held onto Wei Qing's hand and gave it to her to drink.

"Are you scared?" he asked.

Wei Qing did not utter a word.

That last injection was extremely dangerous. Although she was full of confidence when she spoke to the judge, she would still be afraid when she took the shot.

"How much longer do we have to wait?"

When Xiao Qingqian spoke to her in such a gentle manner, it gave Wei Qing the illusion that he was not Xiao Qingqian himself.

"This King is asking you a question!" A hint of anger suddenly appeared on his warm, jade-like face.

Wei Qing recovered her wits, "About fifteen minutes."

"This King will get someone to bring you a set of dry clothes to change into in the side hall!"

Wei Qing felt that Xiao Qingqian was finally normal, but she felt that Xiao Qingqian was abnormal again.
