At this moment, there was a sudden burst of rapid footsteps like a storm. The footsteps came from far away and quickly broke the original quiet atmosphere in the room.

At the same time, there were urgent and anxious calls: "Xier, Xier..."

Chu Zixi suddenly raised her head, and a hint of surprise flashed quickly in her beautiful eyes.

Then, without any hesitation, she stood up and walked quickly towards the direction where the sound came from.

Yun Mengsi walked in hurriedly with a panicked look on her face.

In her arms she held tightly a swaddling cloth wrapped in soft brocade, and the baby lying in the swaddling cloth was her little niece, Xiaoyue'er.

Yun Mengsi's beautiful eyes had turned red at this moment, just like ripe peaches. Crystal tears kept swirling in her eye sockets, but she clenched her teeth tightly, trying hard to hold back the tears from falling.

At this moment, Chu Zixi asked with concern: "Cousin, what happened? Why did you panic so much?"

Hearing this, Yun Mengsi could no longer control her emotions. Her voice trembled violently and she was almost choked with sobs and could not speak: "Xier... I don't know what happened this morning. Xiaoyue suddenly started vomiting non-stop. I quickly asked a doctor to see her, but no matter what I did, she couldn't get better. Now... now she has fainted. I heard that you were back, so I brought Xiaoyue to you. You... you must find a way to save Xiaoyue! She is the apple of my eye, my life... If anything happens to her, I really can't live anymore..." As she spoke, Yun Mengsi couldn't help but cover her face and cry.

Chu Zixi's heart suddenly tightened when she saw this. She quickly reached out and gently patted Yun Mengsi's shoulder, and said softly, "Cousin, don't worry about it. Our top priority is to put the child on the bed and let me take a look."

After hearing Chu Zixi's words, Yun Mengsi nodded repeatedly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, then staggered towards the bed, each step seeming so heavy and difficult.

After finally reaching the bed, she bent down extremely carefully and gently placed Xiaoyue in her arms on the bed.

Chu Zixi didn't dare to delay for even a second and followed Yun Mengsi to sit down beside the bed.

She first took a deep breath to calm herself, then slowly reached out her hand, gently opened the swaddling clothes that wrapped Xiaoyue, and began to carefully check Xiaoyue's physical condition.

It would not matter if she did not look at it, but once she did, Chu Zixi's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley - Xiaoyue'er's originally pink and cute face was now pale, without any blood color; her little lips were tightly pursed, as if she was enduring great pain; even her breathing became very weak, and her intermittent appearance made people very worried. It was obvious that Xiaoyue'er was already terminally ill and in a critical condition.

Chu Zixi narrowed her eyes slightly, secretly pondering the strange situation before her.

Such strange symptoms obviously cannot be easily explained by common diseases.

She slowly stretched out her right hand and gently placed her fingers on Xiaoyue'er's slender and tender wrist, and began to diagnose her pulse with full concentration and meticulousness.

As time passed, Chu Zixi's expression gradually became more and more solemn, and her originally relaxed brows were tightly furrowed, as if she had encountered an extremely difficult problem.

Yun Mengsi, who was standing aside anxiously waiting for the result, was already extremely worried. When he saw that Chu Zixi had a strange expression, he became even more confused.

She asked with a trembling voice, "Xi'er, how is Xiaoyue? Tell me quickly!"

Chu Zixi took a deep breath and looked up at Yun Mengsi, "Cousin, after my diagnosis, I can confirm that Xiaoyueer has been poisoned."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Yun Mengsi's heart directly.

Yun Mengsi felt a buzzing in her head and her body instantly lost support. If it weren't for the maid supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Tears burst out like a flood, flowing down her pale cheeks.

"Poisoned? How...how could this happen? Xiaoyue'er is only a few months old. Who could be so cruel to do such a young and innocent child?" Yun Mengsi's face was full of grief and disbelief, and he asked at the top of his voice.

However, Chu Zixi did not respond to her question immediately at this moment, because time was pressing and she had to race against time to detoxify Xiaoyue'er.

She quickly pulled out a set of exquisite silver needles from her sleeves, and danced with her hands deftly, accurately inserting the needles into Xiaoyue'er's acupuncture points with extremely skillful needle techniques.

As the silver needles fell one by one, Xiaoyue'er's face, which was originally twisted with pain, seemed to ease a little, but the situation was still not optimistic.

Each silver needle flashed with a chilling cold light, like a streak of icy lightning, piercing accurately into Xiaoyue'er's skin as delicate as a petal.

Yun Mengsi widened her eyes and looked at the scene in horror. Her heart was broken and she almost suffocated from the pain.

She subconsciously reached out her hand to cover her mouth, trying to suppress the cry that was about to burst out, because she was afraid that even the slightest sound would disturb Chu Zixi who was concentrating on rescuing her.

The whole room was filled with an extremely tense and solemn atmosphere, which made people feel depressed and uneasy.

Time is like the sand in an hourglass, flowing slowly but relentlessly. Every minute and every second is a torment for everyone present.

Chu Zixi frowned, and a layer of fine sweat beads had already seeped out of her forehead. These crystal beads of sweat slowly slid down her fair cheeks, but she had no time to care about them, as all her mind was focused on the silver needle in her hand.

I saw her controlling the silver needles skillfully, sometimes twisting them gently, sometimes lifting and inserting them slowly. Each movement seemed simple, but in fact it contained extremely profound medical skills and the skills and essence accumulated from many years of medical experience.

After a long and arduous effort, a miracle finally happened! Xiao Yue'er, who was originally breathing weakly and rapidly, began to breathe steadily and orderly, just like the calm sea after a storm; at the same time, her originally pale face slowly showed a faint blush, as beautiful as a newly blooming peach blossom.
