The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Seeing the expression on Elder Xing's face, Fang Qingyou knew that he was probably willing to let her treat him.

Sure enough, the next moment Elder Xing awkwardly clasped his hands in a fist and said to her, "Miss Fang, please heal me."

Although the form of address had changed, the tone remained harsh, and the manner of speaking made it seem as if the person was forced into it.

Normally, given Elder Xing's attitude, Fang Qingyou wouldn't even bother with him, but since she had promised Yi Lingyun, she wouldn't make any more excuses.

However, before treating Elder Xing, she needed to tell Madam Ren the good news first.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Fang Qingyou told Ren Shi about Liu Erya being beaten. Ren Shi was not happy but worried: "Liu Erya has never married, so it's inevitable that there will be a lot of trouble. I just don't know how she got here. You'er, you must be careful when you go out." After what has happened these days, Ren Shi is very wary of Zhang the matchmaker's family, fearing that they will harm Fang Qingyou again.

Fang Qingyou understood Ren's concerns. Her home was located at the easternmost part of Liujia Village, while Zhang the matchmaker's home was at the westernmost part. The two families were quite far apart. Liu Erya usually wouldn't come here, so Ren was worried that she had ulterior motives for coming here.

In fact, Fang Qingyou also felt that Liu Erya had ulterior motives. The whole village probably knew that she had bought a lot of things yesterday, so Liu Erya came to confirm whether the rumors were true.

The person she wanted to kill not only survived but also prospered. Liu Erya was probably unwilling to accept this.

"Mother, don't worry. Now that I have Young Master Yi protecting me, I'm not afraid of Liu Erya, or even if she and Matchmaker Zhang come to cause trouble together."

Only when she thought of Yi Lingyun did Madam Ren feel a little relieved.

……

Since the house had limited rooms, Fang Qingyou decided to take Elder Xing's pulse in the courtyard.

Elder Xing had initially held some hope for Fang Qingyou, but seeing her holding a medical book in one hand and taking his pulse with the other, he felt that she was just trying to cram at the last minute.

If it weren't for Yi Lingyun's presence, Elder Xing would have left immediately.

Seeing Elder Xing's expression, Fang Qingyou almost couldn't help but laugh. She wasn't cramming at the last minute; she was just deliberately trying to appear unskilled in medicine to avoid arousing suspicion from Madam Ren and Fang Runting. She hadn't expected Elder Xing to be so impatient.

But it's not his fault. If the same thing happened to another patient, they would probably have doubts if they saw him acting so unprofessionally.

Putting those thoughts aside, Fang Qingyou looked at Elder Xing and asked, "Elder Xing, do you have leg hair?"

This sudden question stunned Elder Xing and Yi Lingyun. They were both surprised. Why would Fang Qingyou ask such a question out of the blue?

Boss Xing kept a straight face, suppressing his anger, and remained silent. It was Yi Lingyun who replied, "Yes."

"Take off your shoes and roll up your trouser legs!" Fang Qingyou said again.

This time, Elder Xing's eyes widened in surprise.

Yes, he felt that Fang Qingyou was teasing him. What did diagnosing a patient have to do with whether or not someone had leg hair?

Seeing this, Yi Lingyun quickly patted Elder Xing: "Elder Xing, Xiao You is a doctor, you should trust her."

Elder Xing then calmed down and, with a sullen face, did as Fang Qingyou said.

However, Elder Xing soon showed some embarrassment. He had athlete's foot and was afraid of offending Yi Lingyun, and also afraid that Fang Qingyou would make fun of him.

To his surprise, Fang Qingyou showed not a trace of disdain.

Fang Qingyou glanced at Elder Xing's leg hair, which was also unusually white, and was already fairly certain of his condition.

As she had guessed, a stubborn poison had been lingering in his body for several years. However, it seemed that someone had previously cured Elder Xing of the poison, which prevented him from dying immediately.

That's why Fang Qingyou couldn't understand why, if this person could cure Elder Xing's poison, he didn't completely remove the remaining poison from his body at the time, but only temporarily suppressed it.

It should be noted that although this poison is potent, it will not cause any backlash or harm to Elder Xing's body after it is completely detoxified.

Like many poisons, Fang Qingyou had never seen this poison before, but she was very familiar with its symptoms, signs, and antidote.

Fang Qingyou had all the necessary ingredients for the antidote at home; all that was left was to get started.

"Elder Xing, I can cure your poison, but because the poison is deeply rooted in your body, it cannot be completely removed in just one or two days. Also, because the amount of poison remaining is extremely small, each time the poison is removed, it must first be guided to a certain part. Therefore, you will have to endure the pain of the poison taking effect during the process, and the pain will be more intense than before. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

After each detoxification process, an antidote should be taken. It will take anywhere from one month to six months for the remaining toxins in your body to be completely eliminated.

When treating patients, Fang Qingyou forgot her slight lingering resentment towards Elder Xing and told him about his condition in detail, just as she had done for the other patients.

Elder Xing's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Elder Xing was conflicted. Fang Qingyou's previous behavior made him doubt her medical skills, but her current attitude made him unsure which side of her was the real her, and even more unsure whether he should trust her.

Yi Lingyun said, "Xiao You, just do whatever you need to do to detoxify. Elder Xing will definitely cooperate. Thank you for your hard work."

“Young Master Yi, you don’t need to be so polite with me. However, you will have to wait a while. I need to prepare the antidote first before I can perform acupuncture to remove the poison from Elder Xing.”

As Fang Qingyou spoke, she was about to return to her room to prepare the medicine. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back to look at Yi Lingyun: "Young Master Yi, it's crucial that you make Elder Xing prepare."

After saying that, Fang Qingyou turned and left.

Fang Qingyou originally wanted Yi Lingyun to keep an eye on Elder Xing, but her smiling eyes reminded him of the time she touched his face before, and his handsome face instantly turned red.

He originally wanted to help Fang Qingyou, but now he just wanted to hide himself away as soon as possible.

Since the acupuncture procedure must be performed in a cool, dry place, Fang Qingyou chose the woodshed where Yi Lingyun was temporarily staying.

Elder Xing finally convinced himself to accept Fang Qingyou's acupuncture. He told himself to just treat it as a few needle pricks and feel the pain. But then he saw Fang Qingyou holding a medical book in one hand and a silver needle in the other, reading the book while tentatively inserting the needle into his acupoints...

Elder Xing's eyelids twitched, and he finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Miss Fang..."

He wasn't afraid of pain; he was genuinely afraid that Fang Qingyou might accidentally stab him to death.

But before Elder Xing could finish speaking, Fang Qingyou made a "shh" gesture to him, indicating that he should not disturb her.

Elder Xing's eyes widened immediately. He could not accept that Fang Qingyou was using him as a practice subject.
