Su Yuejian looked at Qi Yuan in a daze and frowned, and was even more confused.

Turning to look at Xiao Heng, he saw that his expression was as cold as usual, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and he didn't care.

Su Yue was helpless and said, "Your Highness, this is the medicine bag I prepared. Boil it in boiling water for a quarter of an hour and pour it into the bathtub. I will give you acupuncture while you bathe."

After saying that, he took off the bag from his waist and handed it to Xuanfeng.

Qi Yuan went up to the medicine bag, smelled it, and nodded repeatedly.

Xuanfeng retreated with the medicine bag.

Qi Yuan looked at Su Yuejian eagerly,

"I wonder who Miss Su's medical skills were taught to her?"

Su Yuejian was startled at first, then smiled slightly, "I don't have a master."

Ming Bushi has always lived in seclusion, and even when he occasionally comes down the mountain, he disguises himself and practices medicine.

There were rumors in the country that he had already passed away, but he was very happy to hear the news.

Therefore, he always warned Su Yuejian not to reveal to others that he was still alive.

Qi Yuan opened his mouth in surprise.

"No master?"

Xiao Heng glanced at her with a scrutinizing look.

Su Yue nodded without changing her expression when they met.

She always called Ming Bushi Grandpa and never called him Master, so it wasn't a lie.

Qi Yuan was shocked. He is truly a genius!

He continued,

"The recipe for the Nine Transformations Life-Restoring Pills you gave the prince was truly ingenious. I truly admire you!"

"I wonder how confident Miss Su is that the prince can be cured of the poison?"

Qi Yuan looked at her, his eyes eager and expectant, yet a little tentative.

She spoke confidently,

"As long as the herbs can be found, I'm 90% sure I can detoxify it."

Qi Yuan stood up from his chair excitedly.

"really?"

Su Yuejian nodded seriously.

"really."

Qi Yuan was so happy that he was at a loss for words and paced back and forth in the room.

that is really good!

There is hope after all!

Su Yuejian raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Heng.

His expression was calm, as if the detoxification they were talking about had nothing to do with him.

Su Yue smiled with her lips curved.

Looking at him this way, he seems more like the cold-tempered regent as rumored.

Qi Yuan was excited for a while before he frowned again, his face full of worry.

"But these three medicinal herbs, Tianxin Lotus, Dragon Blood Fruit, and Bihai Scrophulariaceae, are extremely rare in the world, especially Tianxin Lotus. Ancient records say that this flower grows in extremely cold places, only produces one plant every ten years, and blooms only once in its lifetime. No one has ever seen it..."

Su Yuejian remained silent.

She remembered Ming Bushi saying that when he traveled to Xihe many years ago, he encountered the Yibaiwan tribe deep in the snow-capped mountains and saw a Tianxin lotus that had not yet bloomed.

She then spoke,

"There's a tribe called Baiwan in Xihe. Perhaps there's one there. Your Highness can send someone to investigate."

Xiao Heng raised an eyebrow in confusion.

She explained nonchalantly,

"I've read in ancient books that the Tianxin Lotus grows on the tops of snow-capped mountains. There are many snow-capped mountains within the borders of Xihe. There's a Yiwan tribe deep within the mountains. Its people don't communicate with the outside world, and their totem is a seven-petal lotus, which is very similar to the Tianxin Lotus."

Xiao Heng looked at her deeply without saying a word.

Qi Yuan nodded and stared at Su Yuejian intently. Miss Su is so knowledgeable!

Xuanfeng stepped in and reported that the medicinal bath was ready at Qingzhuju.

Everyone moved towards Qingzhuju.

Qingzhuju is as its name suggests, with lush forests and bamboos in the courtyard, bamboo waves, mist and moon, and a quiet and peaceful environment.

Inside the house, a large wooden barrel half a person's height was placed in the middle of the hall, surrounded by hot steam.

Su Yuejian stepped forward to check the potion in the bucket, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Xiao Heng and said,

"My Lord, please take off your clothes."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan, who was standing next to them, was stunned for a moment, his eyes wide open as he looked back and forth between the two of them.

He really shouldn't have come...

Xiao Heng didn't answer and stood still.

Su Yuejian asked doubtfully, "Time waits for no one. Your Highness, why are you standing there? Take off your clothes quickly."

Qi Yuan looked at it and sighed secretly,

This Miss Su is really not an ordinary person.

How important is it to keep a clear distinction between men and women? How could an ordinary lady say such words to a man, especially when the man in front of her is the feared Regent.

Su Yuejian looked at their expressions and understood something.

"Your Highness, please just take off all your clothes and get into the tub. I will come in when you are ready."

In a frank tone,

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I am a doctor and you are a patient. Doctors do not differentiate between men and women. I will not ask for your status because of this."

After saying that, he walked out without looking back.

Xiao Heng stood where he was.

He was secretly delighted when he heard the first half of her words, but the rest of her words ignited a nameless anger in his heart.

She actually said there is no difference between men and women!

What she means is that she also asks other men to take off their clothes when she treats them, is that right?

What does it mean to not ask for status?

What he wants is status!

His face was gloomy, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Qi Yuan slowly stepped back.

"Zi Che, change your clothes first, I'll come back later."

After saying that, he quickly closed the door.

After a while, Xuanfeng opened the door and invited the two in.

Xiao Heng was sitting in the barrel with his upper body naked.

The man had a stunning appearance, a strong chest, perfect abdominal muscles, and smooth and powerful muscles as if they were carefully carved. The messy scars on his body added a bit of evil and dangerous beauty to him. Just sitting there quietly, he exuded the ultimate temptation.

Su Yue walked behind him without changing her expression and prepared to start acupuncture.

Qi Yuan looked at the golden needle she took out in shock.

Isn't this a flying swallow's golden needle?!

Many years ago, Xiao Heng sent people to search all over the four countries before he was able to collect this complete set of Feiyan Golden Needles.

He had pestered Xiao Heng for it many times, but not only was he not given it, he was not even allowed to take a second look at it.

It had only been a few days since he returned to Beijing, and it had already fallen into Su Yuejian's hands!

Thoughts surge in my mind,

It seems that Zi Che is really interested in Miss Su.

Alas, it was such a shame that he had known him for so many years, only to find out now that the dignified Regent actually valued women over friends!

Su Yuejian didn't know what he was thinking. She just watched him nod and shake his head.

What a weirdo.

She coughed lightly and said to him, "Doctor Qi, I'm going to start acupuncture. I'll teach you. Watch carefully and you can give acupuncture to the prince next time."

Xiao Heng frowned slightly and looked at Qi Yuan coldly.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Qi Yuan smiled awkwardly.

Su Yuejian didn't notice anything unusual between him and Qi Yuan, and had already picked up the needle and prepared to start.

"Your Highness, the acupuncture process is very difficult. If you can't bear it, you can..."

"It's okay, you can rest assured and get treatment."

Xiao Heng said calmly.

Su Yuejian stopped talking, his face serious, and began to give the acupuncture.

Qi Yuan watched intently from the side and was shocked.

I saw that she moved very quickly and her needlework was amazing. Every time she placed her needle, it was unexpected yet exquisite.

Her hands were very cold, but Xiao Heng felt that the places she touched became numb and extremely hot.

After a while, Su Yuejian turned to him and gave him acupuncture.

Her hands gently supported his arms, she bent down and lowered her head, her entire face close to his chest, and the two of them were very close.

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and could even see the fine hairs on her fair face illuminated by the candlelight.

Her warm breath gently hit his chest, and he felt his whole body become extremely hot, as if it was about to burn.

Su Yuejian felt that his body seemed to have become much hotter, and thought it was because the water was too hot, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

She quickened her movements, not noticing that Xiao Heng's ears had turned red, and his eyes were filled with plunder as he looked at her.

An hour and a half later, all 108 stitches were completed.

Su Yuejian was sweating profusely, so she took out the golden needle and glanced at the person in the bathtub.

Xiao Heng closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and sat quietly in the barrel.

She was filled with admiration. These 108 needles were no less painful for him than breaking tendons and cutting bones, yet he didn't even make a sound. His endurance was truly astonishing!
