Chapter 20 Pleased by him?
Xiao Lin was even more embarrassed than she was.
He simply didn't understand how he could do such an abrupt thing!
It’s like a strange coincidence!
He felt that he should explain, but he had no way of explaining it. In the midst of embarrassment, he suddenly heard Su Li say: "Your Highness, I'm going to start acupuncture! It should be a little painful, Your Highness, please bear with me!"
Xiao Lin nodded and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at her.
The little girl held a silver needle in her hand and looked solemn. Although she was facing his body, she didn't show any signs of embarrassment.
The first needle started from the shoulder and neck, and was inserted into various acupuncture points on the body in sequence. With gentle twisting, a small pain spread throughout the body.
After a brief period of pain, there was an endless warmth.
The icy coldness that had been clinging to my bones like maggots since I was poisoned now melted like ice and snow.
This warm feeling is not too strong when it comes to the upper body, but when the needle starts to move on the lower body, the warmth is as continuous as spring water, making people feel even more comfortable.
Xiao Lin's two broken legs had been suffering from constant cold and stinging pain since he was poisoned, so he had been subconsciously curling up his legs.
At this time, the tight legs stretched out uncontrollably under the warm spring water!
This immediate and miraculous effect brought tears to his eyes!
He suppressed his excitement and stared at Su Li's every move.
The little girl's fingers were slender and dexterous, and she was able to apply the acupuncture points as smoothly as flowing water. However, when the needle reached the calf, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned, and her head suddenly twisted to the side.
The next moment, warm liquid dripped onto his knees.
Xiao Lin tilted his head to look at her. After a moment, he realized that those were her tears.
"Why are you crying?" His heart tightened, "Is this poison difficult to cure?"
"No!" Su Li shook his head quickly, "This poisonous girl can be cured! Don't worry, Your Highness!"
"Then why are you crying?" Xiao Lin asked curiously.
"It's nothing..." Su Li shook his head angrily, "Your whole body is covered with scars. After being activated by the bone-corrosive poison, you're probably going to be as painful as if you were cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, right?"
Although my body was in such pain, I still had to travel thousands of miles to support my soul.
I don’t know how he endured this period of time!
Su Li didn't know why, but when he thought that he had suffered such pain, he felt particularly distressed and sad, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"So, are you crying for Gu?" Xiao Lin looked at her hazy tearful eyes, with warmth in his heart. He raised his lips and smiled softly: "Su Li, Gu is not wrong! You are really a little crybaby! Mo.
I'm going to cry. A crying doctor makes people inexplicably worried!"
When Su Li heard this, he wiped away his tears in a panic and explained: "I just love to cry, it's not that I'm not good at medical skills! Don't you feel much lighter now, Your Highness?"
"I feel it!" Xiao Lin replied, "I was like a monkey trapped under the cold mountain before, but now I finally escaped, I don't know how comfortable I am!"
Su Li chuckled: "After taking a medicinal bath and removing the thorns, Your Highness will feel more at ease!"
"I'm looking forward to it very much!" Xiao Lin nodded, "It looks like you are not a little crybaby, you are the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!"
Su Li laughed: "Your Highness, you are ridiculous! I can only be Tang Sanzang at best!"
"Yes!" Xiao Lin nodded and said seriously: "Thank you, Master, for saving me from the sea of suffering!"
Su Li was dumbfounded when he called "Master" and turned back to look at him.
The man was lying there, his eyes were bright, he was talking and laughing, and he was no longer as solemn and dead as before.
Su Li was overjoyed to see him and raised his eyebrows at him and smiled softly. Xiao Lin also smiled. However, while smiling, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Su Li.
She seemed... blushing?
Su Li had just been concentrating on applying the acupuncture, and he really didn't think of anything else.
But Xiao Lin's smile made her feel a little distracted.
His thoughts were confused, and his eyes became a little vague. When he touched Xiao Lin, he suddenly felt embarrassed for no reason.
This embarrassment came out of nowhere and made her face feel hot. She stood up in a panic and said, "Your Highness, the acupuncture is done. Please wait a moment while I go to see if the medicinal soup is ready!"
After saying that, he hurried away. When he reached the entrance, he came back, pulled a thin blanket and covered Xiao Lin's waist, and then hurried away again.
As soon as she pulled the cover, her face turned red like a peach blossom.
Xiao Lin had already accepted this kind of bare-bones doctor-patient relationship, but when she did this, the suppressed embarrassment surged out in an instant.
He turned his head silently and buried his face, which was almost bleeding, into the pillow.
He suddenly realized something belatedly.
Is this little crybaby happy with him?
As soon as the thought arose, my heart, which was already beating wildly, almost jumped out of my chest!
Su Li had only left for a short while, but Xiao Lin had already recalled in detail the circumstances when he first met her several times.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find any clues that Su Li was in love with him.
The two of them had no interaction at all, except for the first glance when they met.
However, in that glance, he could see the surprise in her eyes.
Therefore, she is indeed pleased with him...
He kept thinking wildly. Halfway through his thoughts, he suddenly felt ashamed.
What is the situation now?
He actually had time to think about the love between these children!
The enemy in the dark is sharpening his sword, the Xie Mansion has been overthrown, the East Palace is about to collapse, and his position as the crown prince is in danger!
Now, it’s time to think about how to deal with the situation!
Thinking about everything in the court, his hot body gradually cooled down.
Su Li ran out of the hall and took a walk. When he came back, he was much more awake.
Li Rufeng's medicinal soup was ready. She sent someone to bring it in and pour it into the bathtub. When the temperature was right, she removed Xiao Lin's needle and moved him into the bathtub to soak.
Half an hour later, the stings of the bone-eating insects on Xiao Lin's body were released one after another.
The stingers were wrapped in red pustules, which had to be removed with a sharp knife and then covered with a special ointment.
This process will continue for several days, until no new stinging pustules are released, and the bone-corroding poison is completely removed.
"It's very painful to remove the poisonous sting..." Su Li held a sharp knife in his hand and spoke softly, "Due to the poisonous sting, you cannot take Mafei Powder or use any anesthetic drugs. Your Highness..."
"It's a trivial matter!" Xiao Lin said, "Let's do it!"
Su Li nodded and began to remove the sting from him.
This is a delicate job. During the process of removing the poisonous sting, you must ensure that the pustule is not broken. Otherwise, the pus will leak out and the infection will continue, resulting in lingering poison.
And Xiao Lin had as many as a hundred pustules on his body!
Su Li took a deep breath and braced himself to deal with it.
Xiao Lin knew the dangers involved and stopped talking. Li Rufeng and the old lady also held their breaths and stared at Su Li for a moment, watching her remove the sting bit by bit, apply medicine, and then remove the next one.
When all ninety-eight pustules were removed, Su Li breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally done!" She let go of the lancet in her hand, only to find that her hand didn't obey her orders.
The fingers had been curled up for too long, for three hours in a row, and now they couldn't relax.
Li Rufeng stepped forward to help and pulled the lancet out from her fingers.
But the hand still couldn't return to its original shape.
"No matter!" Su Li smiled, "Just take a break! I'm really tired!"
She stretched out and wanted to collapse. The moment she stood up, her vision went dark!
