Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

After lunch, Murong Jiaoning sat in the room, looking at the rain curtain outside the window, feeling a little irritated.

She turned to look at the maid beside her and asked, "Is my elder sister back?"

"I just went to the concierge to ask, but he hasn't."

Murong Jiaoning frowned, stood up, and thought to herself: "It's raining so hard, why hasn't my elder sister come back yet?" She suddenly remembered the news she heard in the morning, that the Queen Mother summoned her elder sister to the palace. She wondered what the Queen Mother wanted to say.

Murong Jiaoning had an idea and decided to go to the door to see the situation in person.

She put on a cloak and walked towards the gate with her maid.

The guards at the door saluted when they saw her.

Murong Jiaoning came to the gate and saw Xiaolu wandering around. She walked up to her and said to her, "Xiaolu, what are you doing here?"

Xiaolu was startled and quickly bowed and said, "Miss Third."

Murong Jiaoning snorted when she saw her holding a cloak and an umbrella in her hands.

Xiaolu silently stepped back, moving away from Murong Jiaoning.

Murong Jiaoning waited for a long time and became a little impatient.

She kept stamping her feet, muttering to herself, "Why hasn't this elder sister come back for so long?"

Just when she was about to lose her patience, she finally saw a carriage slowly approaching.

The carriage stopped at the door, and Xiao Cui helped Murong Zixi get out of the carriage.

Murong Jiaoning saw that her elder sister was soaking wet. She was shocked and rushed over to her and asked, "Elder sister, what happened to you? Why are you soaked?"

Xiaolu hurried over and put the cloak she brought on her, and asked worriedly, "Miss, why are you all wet?"

Murong Jiaoning suddenly laughed, "Big sister, didn't the Queen Mother summon you to the palace? Why did you come back in such a mess? Did you anger the Queen Mother? Were you punished by her?"

Murong Zixi's face was terribly gloomy, with a cold look in her eyes, and she coldly spat out one word: "Get lost!"

Murong Jiaoning was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, almost crying: "Haha... So my elder sister has also suffered this day! It turns out that the Queen Mother summoned my elder sister to the palace, it's not a good thing, I thought my elder sister was favored by the Queen Mother!"

After saying this, Murong Jiaoning showed a gloating smile on her face, turned around and left with an umbrella.

Murong Zixi's eyes were as cold as ice as she stared at Murong Jiaoning's departing back.

At this moment, Murong Zixi suddenly bent down, picked up a stone beside her, and threw it out with force.

The stone was as fast as lightning, drawing an arc in the air and hitting Murong Jiaoning's calf accurately.

There was a sound of "thump" and Murong Jiaoning fell to the ground with a scream of "ah".

Murong Zixi raised her eyebrows. How dare you, little brat, make fun of her!

Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu supported Murong Zixi on both sides and walked slowly forward, step by step towards Ziwei Pavilion.

At this time, Nanny Li was already standing at the door, waiting anxiously.

When she saw Murong Zixi, the worry on her face became more and more obvious, and her eyes were full of anxiety and heartache.

"Miss, why are you soaked? Did something happen?"

Xiao Cui couldn't help crying and said with a choked voice: "Mammy, don't ask for now. Wait until the young lady goes back to take a hot bath and change into clean clothes."

The nanny nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I will prepare hot water right away."

After preparing the hot water, Murong Zixi took a comfortable hot bath and changed into a light pajamas, but it still couldn't hide her physical discomfort.

She felt as if her body had been hollowed out, every cell was filled with fatigue, and even the air around her seemed to be filled with a subtle chill that made her feel chilly.

Nanny Li walked in slowly with a bowl of steaming ginger soup in her hand, and whispered softly, "Miss, this ginger soup can drive away the cold and warm your body. Please drink it while it's hot."

Murong Zixi barely propped herself up, leaned against the soft bed wall, and took the bowl of ginger soup that was still steaming.

Her eyes inadvertently swept over Xiao Cui beside her, and saw that Xiao Cui had also changed into dry clothes, with tears in her eyes, "Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu should also drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold."

Just now, Xiaolu and Xiaocui helped her back. Xiaolu held the umbrella for herself, and her clothes got wet.

Xiao Cui choked up and said, "My lady, I am a strong woman. This little bit of wind and rain is nothing to me, but you are weak... How about I ask a doctor to come and see you and prescribe some medicine?"

Hearing this, Nanny Li looked at her lovingly and said, "Don't worry, Miss. How could I forget about Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu? And there are others. I have already prepared them."

"No need to call a doctor, I'll just drink some ginger soup and rest for a while."

After that, she said no more. She just lowered her head and drank the bowl of ginger soup one sip after another, as if to dispel the chill from the bottom of her heart.

Outside the window, the storm was still raging. Xiaolu hurried over and deftly closed the half-open window, blocking out the biting cold wind and the chaotic sound of rain.

Nanny Li went out and brought up the food, "Miss, you didn't have lunch, come and eat something to fill your stomach."

Murong Zixi shook her head gently, and her beautiful face looked a little pale.

The hunger had passed, and she felt unable to eat anything. "Go ahead, I'll take a break." She said softly, a hint of fatigue in her tone.

Xiao Lu looked at Murong Zixi worriedly and said, "Miss, please allow me to guard you here. Don't worry, I will never make any noise to disturb your rest."

“No, please step back.”

The few of them had no choice but to quickly clean up the food on the table, then left the room worriedly.

When the door closed gently, Murong Zixi finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Master?" Xiaobai came out of the space anxiously and looked at Murong Zixi worriedly.

"It's okay, Xiaobai, it's just that the toxins in your body have attacked you again. Don't be nervous, I will give you acupuncture treatment immediately." Murong Zixi tried hard to force a smile to comfort Xiaobai.

"Okay, Master, please give me the acupuncture treatment. Xiaobai will not disturb you. Xiaobai will protect you." Xiaobai looked at Murong Zixi, his eyes full of concern and worry.

Murong Zixi nodded and sighed inwardly. All her recuperation over the past few days was in vain. Now the cold air entered her body, causing the poison in her body to explode. If she didn't suppress the toxin, she would probably die soon!

Murong Zixi took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and calmed herself down.

You can't panic at this moment, you must respond calmly, otherwise it will only accelerate the spread of the poison.

Xiaobai huddled quietly aside, not daring to make any sound for fear of disturbing Murong Zixi. Its eyes were always fixed on Murong Zixi, its eyes full of anxiety.

Murong Zixi opened her eyes, and suddenly several thin silver needles appeared in her hands, flashing with cold light.

Each fall of the silver needle was accompanied by her precise and steady technique, like weaving an invisible net, binding up the toxins that attempted to corrode her body one by one.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and slid down her cheeks, but she was unaware of it.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in the world of acupuncture and forgot everything around her.
