The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Shangguan Ling led the person to the reception room, and after everyone was seated, he asked, "Medical Sage, Wenya, she..."

Bai Qingshi did not answer, but looked at Xiaoyaozi instead.

Xiaoyaozi said with an air of composure, "As you all probably know, that little girl was afflicted with the Seven-Day Death Gu. It was only thanks to my little apprentice that the little worm was suppressed with medicine; otherwise, that little girl wouldn't be here to save her now."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated that it could be cured, the meaning behind those words couldn't be clearer.

The people present all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Shangguan Ling quickly expressed his gratitude: "I thank the Poison Emperor, the Medical Saint, and Mu Xia. If Wenya can escape danger this time, my Shangguan family will owe Jishi Manor a great debt of gratitude. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I will do my best to assist you."

Bai Qingshi exchanged a few polite words but did not refuse what Shangguan Ling said. After all, no one knew whether he would need this power in the future.

After chatting for a while, Shangguan Ling left, leaving only the four of them, master and disciples, to discuss how to remove the curse.

Only then did Li Muxia have a chance to ask the question that had been bothering her: "Second Master, can your prescription cure the Gu poison?"

Xiaoyaozi rolled his eyes at Li Muxia and said, "Have you not been studying medicine properly lately? You can't even figure out such a simple prescription."

Li Muxia felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this and said, "That prescription is just an ordinary nourishing prescription, not very useful, but it is very nourishing. It will have a nourishing effect on Wenya, whose body is severely depleted. However, we have prescribed nourishing prescriptions for Wenya before. The more nourishing the prescription, the faster the Gu worms will absorb it, which is actually detrimental to Wenya's body."

Xiaoyaozi interrupted Li Muxia, saying, "Who told you that the prescription was for that girl?"

Li Muxia was slightly puzzled upon hearing this, but quickly realized what was going on and excitedly said, "Second Master, you mean that the prescription can draw out the Gu worms?"

Xiaoyaozi glanced at Li Muxia and said, "That prescription alone is not enough; we need other things as well."

Before Li Muxia could speak, Shangguan Jingye anxiously asked, "Uncle-Master, what else do you need? Please tell me so that the people in the manor can prepare as soon as possible."

Li Muxia also looked at Xiaoyaozi with hope, waiting for his answer.

Xiaoyaozi rolled his eyes at Shangguan Jingye and said, "No rush, we have everything we need. We can just take it on the spot when we remove the poison tomorrow."

Knowing that Xiaoyaozi wouldn't say anything today, Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye didn't ask any further questions.

The Shangguan family prepared accommodations for the group, and Li Muxia left with Li Anran. Before leaving, Xiaoyaozi stopped them and said something.

"You brat, bring Hirudo tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia guessed that the Leech King would be needed to cure the Gu tomorrow. She just didn't know if it would harm the Leech King's life. After all, she had raised it for so long and had some feelings for it. Moreover, she had never used it even once. It would really hurt to lose it like this. However, thinking that it could save Shangguan Wenya's life, she could only reluctantly give it up.

Back at the General's Mansion, Li Muxia stroked the Leech King, which had grown even fatter since it came with her, and murmured, "Little thing, tomorrow is the day you go to the battlefield, so eat more today."

Early the next morning, Li Muxia and Li Anran arrived at the Shangguan residence. Shangguan Jingye had already taken Shangguan Wenya's pulse, and the prescription from yesterday had been prepared. Xia He was brewing it in the small kitchen.

Seeing Li Muxia arrive, Xiaoyaozi said, "Alright, brat, come here. I'll tell you how to remove the curse, and the rest is up to you."

Li Muxia obediently stepped forward, naturally understanding what her master meant. After all, apart from her, all four of them were men, and removing the curse inevitably required taking off their clothes, which was indeed inconvenient for them, a group of grown men.

He listened attentively to every word Xiaoyaozi said, and after Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, he had Li Muxia repeat it again to make sure that Li Muxia had memorized everything before he was relieved.

He then asked, "Did you bring the King of Leeches?"

Li Muxia replied, "I brought it."

Then he handed a wooden box to Xiaoyaozi. Xiaoyaozi opened the box and saw a fat, dark worm. He frowned and said, "You little thing, you've gotten quite fat in just a few days. It seems your new owner has been feeding you a lot."

Knowing that all that was needed was a small amount of the leech king's blood, Li Muxia wasn't too worried.

Seeing Xiaoyaozi use her scalpel to cut open the leech king's skin, I felt a little sorry for him.

The leech king felt a stinging sensation on its skin and twisted its body slightly, but this did not affect the blood collection.

Xiaoyaozi gently scraped off some green blood with a scalpel, then closed the box and returned it to Li Muxia.

Looking at the dark green blood, Xiaoyaozi sighed and said, "As expected, your food is still the best, you brat. Look, it's only been a few days, and the poison content in your blood is already so high. It seems the success rate of removing the poison has increased again today."

He handed the scalpel to Li Muxia and left, followed by the other men.

Although everyone was eager to see how the curse was lifted, they all obediently left due to the distinction between men and women and Shangguan Wenya's reputation.

Before leaving, Xiaoyaozi warned, "You brat, don't you dare embarrass your master."

After everyone had left, Xia He brought in the prepared herbal medicine.

Following Xiaoyaozi's instructions, Li Muxia took the medicine bowl, placed it beside her, took out a scalpel, disinfected it, and made a cut on Shangguan Wenya's arm. At this moment, blood slowly flowed out of Shangguan Wenya's body, and Li Muxia quickly picked up the medicine bowl beside her to catch the flowing blood.

When he felt it was about time, he helped Shangguan Wenya stop the bleeding and bandage her wounds. Then he picked up the medicine bowl beside him and used a scalpel with leech blood to stir it until the blood and medicine were completely mixed.

Li Muxia looked at Shangguan Wenya and said, "Cousin, after I remove the poison, I will remove the poison from you. It may hurt a little, but I can use anesthetic powder on you."

Before Li Muxia could finish speaking, Shangguan Wenya interrupted, "No need, I need to see clearly what this thing that has tormented me for so long actually looks like."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia didn't say anything more; she knew what kind of person Shangguan Wenya was.

He sighed and said, "Then remember this later, no matter what you see, don't move it. Otherwise, I'm worried that the Gu worm will sense something and won't want to come out, making it difficult to remove the Gu."

Shangguan Wenya nodded. She didn't say anything.

Li Muxia said, "I'm going to start."
