Doctor Liu followed his gaze and saw that a man who had finally changed into clean robes was sitting at the table having tea - he had seen this man yesterday, but he didn't take it to heart. At this time, he heard that he was the substitute.
After the general detoxified himself, he couldn't help but show admiration. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency is really a master of rejuvenation, but you just don't know..."
"I don't accept apprentices." Doctor Qiu interrupted him lightly, then put down the teacup and yawned.
"..." Doctor Liu's expression froze - who wants to ask him whether he will accept a disciple?
What he wanted to ask was who the other party studied under, where he came from, and what method he used to cure this poison.
But after being interrupted like this, and the other party looked like he didn't want to say more, it was hard for him to continue asking.
"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood." At this time, Doctor Liu's thoughts were on Duke Zhenguo in the inner room, so he said to Qin Wu: "I want to see the general."
Qin Wu turned around: "Follow me."
Doctor Liu followed him into the inner room.
In the inner room, the aroma of the food still lingered, and under the half-covered bed tent, under the dim candlelight, a tall figure could be seen sitting at the head of the bed.
Seeing the familiar silhouette, Dr. Liu became more and more shocked. He saluted in front of the bed and said, "I heard that the general is awake, and I came here to take a look."
A familiar but hoarse and weak voice came from the bed tent: "Well, it's nothing serious."
"Why don't I take the General's pulse again?" Dr. Liu suggested with a respectful and concerned tone.
"That's fine." The shadow leaning on the bed moved and stretched out a big rough hand.
Dr. Liu Jun sat on the drum stool beside the bed and checked the pulse carefully.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes.
The poison was really cured...
The pulse condition is that of weakness after the severe poison has been cured, but it only requires some follow-up treatment.
"How?" Qin Wu asked from the side.
"As the general just said, it's nothing serious." Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was reassuring and curious: "This Doctor Qiu is really very capable, but I don't know what method he used to solve the problem for the general.
Poison? Can we find out what the poison is?"
"What can we do to investigate in such a short time?" Qin Wu said: "Doctor Qiu has a pill that can cure hundreds of poisons. There is only one pill for the general to use."
"A pill that can cure hundreds of poisons?" Dr. Liu Jun wondered: "There are such wonderful medicines in this world..."
"Never mind him, since the general's poison has been cured anyway, I won't treat him badly." Qin Wu said and began to drive people away: "Okay, since the general is fine, you can go back and don't disturb the general's rest."
Doctor Liu then stood up and saluted the people in the tent: "General, please rest and recuperate. I will retire first."
"Well, Qin Wu, let's go out too." The figure in the tent was about to lie down, but he didn't know what he thought of. He held himself up for a moment and said to Qin Wu: "By the way, there is no need to postpone the date of returning to Beijing. I will raise you."
It only takes a day or two.”
Qin Wu obviously wanted to persuade him, but he still didn't dare to say more. He just said "yes" and walked out of the inner room with Dr. Liu.
"Although the general's poison has been cured, his body is still very weak. It is said that he will need to be recuperated for at least ten and a half months. How can he be in a hurry to return to Beijing? You didn't even try to dissuade him just now." Dr. Liu sighed and said in a low voice.
"Why don't you persuade him? It's not like you don't know the general's temperament. Who can persuade him?"
His girl was able to persuade him, but she was in the capital.
"Don't be pushy when it comes to your health..." Dr. Liu Jun said: "As for leaving for Beijing, I'd better wait for the general to recover for two days - by the way, have you given the general any prescriptions for recuperation?"
Once the poison has been detoxified, follow-up conditioning is also essential.
"Doctor Qiu has prescribed it and has already ordered people to fry it."
"That's good." Doctor Liu Jun said, "Then I'll come see the general tomorrow."
Qin Wu nodded. He did not leave with him, but stayed outside the room.
After Dr. Liu left, Dr. Qiu, who had a casual attitude, immediately stood up from his chair and hurried to the inner room.
He lifted up the bed curtain and took out the silver needles stabbed above the wrists and behind the neck of the person on the bed.
Bian asked: "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
This is a method that can temporarily change the pulse condition, but in the end it goes against the way the meridians of the human body work.
The other party shook his head slightly: "It's okay——"
After seeing off Dr. Liu, Qin Wu walked in, his face no longer as relaxed as before.
By now, the play has almost been played out.
Next, let’s see if anyone will lose control over this.
The servant who brought tea came in.
After the servant retreated to the outer room, Doctor Qiu carefully checked the tea for anything unusual, just as he had done with the food before.
Meeting Qin Wu's questioning eyes, he shook his head.
Nothing unusual.
Qin Wu gradually became anxious.
Immediately, someone was sent to ask Jin Yi about the situation, but there was also no progress - he stared at the situation around the general, while Jin Yi was responsible for watching whether there were any changes in the people inside and outside the building.
About two-quarters of an hour later, a soldier came over with the boiled medicine.
The soldier brought the medicine to the inner room and came to the bed: "General, the medicine is ready."
"Wait a minute."
Doctor Qiu came over and took the medicine bowl from the tray in the soldier's hand.
The soldier didn't know why, but he saw Doctor Qiu walking to the table, picking up a spoon, scooping out three or four spoonfuls of the medicinal soup, and put it into an empty enamel tea bowl.
Immediately, he took out a wooden bead and threw it into the medicinal soup in the tea bowl.
Akui, who had been waiting aside like a soldier with his head lowered, quietly raised his eyes and looked over.
When the wooden bead falls into the bowl, it looks normal at first.
But after a while, brown foam gradually appeared around the wooden beads.
It was normal for the wood to be soaked in water for a while, and some tiny bubbles would appear. But Akui recognized the wooden bead, so the moment she saw the bubbles appear, she almost didn't dare to blink anymore, and kept staring at the bead -
—
Until there were more and more bubbles, it was as if the medicinal soup was boiling.
Akui finally had the answer in her heart, and she said in a solemn voice: "This medicine is mixed with poison!"
Doctor Qiu took out the wooden beads and said: "Yes, it is highly poisonous."
And the portion is not small.
Qin Wu's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately looked at the soldier delivering the medicine.
The soldier was first surprised that Akui's voice was that of a woman. However, after hearing her words clearly, he no longer thought about anything else - how could the general's medicine... be poisonous?!
Qin Wu suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and pointed it in front of the soldier: "Tell me, who ordered you!"
"Subordinate... I don't know!"
The soldier knelt down with a pale face and said in a panic: "Vice General Qin, my subordinates don't know anything!"
"Who has ever touched this bowl of medicine!"
"This was cooked by my subordinates..." the soldier recalled, his voice fluctuating due to fear: "By the way, there is also Dr. Liu... Dr. Liu was here when my subordinates were decoctions!"
