A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

After Nie Qianqian finished discussing with A Ling, A Ling didn't linger any longer and left the guest room when no one was around.

Besides cleaning the First Madam's room, she was also responsible for cleaning the courtyard of these guest rooms, so her presence in the vicinity went unnoticed.

Another half hour passed, and the medicine Qian Yikuang had taken began to have some effect. Liu Meiqing sent someone to invite Doctor Qian to administer acupuncture.

Nie Qianqian went to Qian Yikuang's bedroom, where Liu Meiqing was serving him water with gentle movements and a face full of love. If Nie Qianqian hadn't just overheard a dramatic scene, she would have really thought that Liu Meiqing was deeply in love with Qian Yikuang.

Nie Qianqian pursed her lips. Without a certain level of mental fortitude and acting skills, one really couldn't do something like having an affair.

Qian Yikuang's condition has improved a lot compared to before taking the medicine, and he can now speak, but he is still weak.

Qian Yikuang's voice was weak, "Dr. Qian is indeed a doctor of Jishetang. His medicine is effective. I feel much better after taking one dose."

Nie Qianqian: "Master Qian, you must not be careless. You must take your medicine on time and also take my acupuncture. Otherwise, your spleen and stomach will easily develop problems."

Qian Yikuang nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he would cooperate fully with the treatment.

Qian Yikuang recalled the meals he had eaten in the past few days. He hadn't eaten anything unusual. Could it be that the food he ate at the restaurant that day was unclean?

As Nie Qianqian was about to administer acupuncture, Liu Meiqing tactfully prepared to leave, gently helping Qian Yikuang lie down before stepping back.

Liu Meiqing said sweetly, "Meiqing, go to the kitchen and cook some millet porridge for Master. Millet porridge is good for the stomach and is suitable for Master to eat."

Qian Yikuang patted Meiqing's hand, "You've worked hard these past few days, Madam. You can leave these things to the servants."

Liu Meiqing gently pushed Qian Yikuang in a coquettish manner, "Master, these are all things that Meiqing is willing to do. I am happy to serve you."

Nie Qianqian wanted to clap her hands and cheer.

The Oscars owe Liu Meiqing an award.

Qian Yikuang was indeed pleased, touching Liu Meiqing's hand with even greater affection in his eyes.

After Liu Meiqing left, Nie Qianqian removed Qian Yikuang's outer garment and performed acupuncture on him.

Nie Qianqian not only used acupuncture to remove the poison from Wanwuxie, but also incidentally removed another toxin lurking in Qian Yikuang's body.

The unlucky guy's wife cheated on him, leaving him wearing a green hat, and his son wasn't his biological child; his biological child was killed in the womb. Nie Qianqian just considered it an act of kindness and good deeds.

Although she wasn't as skilled as Liu Meiqing in acting, she still had a little bit of experience.

After administering a few acupuncture needles, Nie Qianqian let out a surprised and doubtful sound.

Nie Qianqian: "Huh?"

Qian Yikuang was currently very protective of his health, and upon hearing Nie Qianqian's voice, he immediately asked anxiously, "Dr. Qian, is something wrong?"

Nie Qianqian remained silent, then continued, "Tsk tsk tsk..."

Qian Yikuang: "What's wrong?"

Nie Qianqian: "Oh ho."

Qian Yikuang's heart was in his throat. He asked anxiously, "Dr. Qian, what's wrong? Is my illness difficult to cure?"

With the atmosphere set, Nie Qianqian took out the silver needles she had prepared beforehand, the tips of which had been stained black.

Nie Qianqian held the silver needles up to Qian Yikuang's eyes. When Qian Yikuang saw the blackened silver needles, his heart sank, and he stammered, "This...this...my food poisoning is that serious?"

Qian Yikuang had some common sense; silver needles could be used to test for poison and would turn black when exposed to poison. What kind of poison had he ingested that could make the silver needle so black?

Nie Qianqian sighed deeply, "It's not food poisoning. When I took your pulse earlier, I discovered that in addition to food poisoning, there seemed to be another toxin lurking in your body. This toxin is very well hidden, and ordinary doctors cannot detect it at all. I was not very sure either. Just now, I applied my secret medicine to the silver needles. Only after trying it did I confirm that you, Mr. Qian, were indeed poisoned."

Qian Yikuang turned even paler with fright. "Poisoning? But is it also because of eating the wrong thing?"

Nie Qianqian shook her head and whispered, "No, it's a slow-acting poison. Master Qian has probably been taking this slow-acting poison for three years."

Upon hearing this, Qian Yikuang felt his blood run cold, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet, making him tremble with fear.

He was given a slow-acting poison, and it took three years to cure him?!

Nie Qianqian asked, "Does Mr. Qian often experience chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, or weakness? Does he sometimes feel numbness on the tip of his tongue or lips? Does he have reduced urine output, and does his urine have a bland and tasteless consistency?"

Qian Yikuang became increasingly alarmed as he listened, and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes!"

He had experienced every single symptom that Nie Qianqian described.

Nie Qianqian explained, "This poison is not very potent. It requires years of continuous use to damage the internal organs and eventually lead to death from physical weakness, without anyone noticing. If he continues to take it, I'm afraid Mr. Qian only has two years left to live."

Anyone would be terrified to hear such a thing. Qian Yikuang was so frightened that his whole body was shaking and his mind was buzzing.

He wouldn't normally trust anyone, but Dr. Qian's description of the symptoms was completely accurate!

Starting three years ago, he felt that his body was always easily fatigued, weak and sweaty, and even unable to have sex. However, the doctors he saw could not find anything wrong with him, and only said that it was caused by overwork.

He screamed inwardly: Who, who poisoned him? How utterly wicked!

Qian Yikuang mustered a surge of strength and grabbed Nie Qianqian's sleeve tightly, crying out, "Doctor Qian, save me! Save me!"

Nie Qianqian: "Shh!"

"Don't worry, a doctor has a benevolent heart. Now that I have discovered this poison, there is no reason for me to sit idly by. It will take some effort to cure you. However, you have been poisoned for three years and have been taking it every day. The person who poisoned you must be someone close to you. Don't make any noise so as not to alert them."

When Qian Yikuang heard Nie Qianqian say that she could cure him, his wildly beating heart slowly regained its rhythm. Now that he could be cured, the most important thing was to find the person who poisoned him!

Qian Yikuang lowered his voice, "Doctor Qian is right. I hope Doctor Qian will keep this a secret and quietly detoxify me. I will search the ground three feet deep to find out who poisoned me."

Qian Yikuang kept pondering in his mind, could it be that the merchants' rivals had someone poison him?

Most of the servants in his household had served him for many years and should be somewhat loyal. Only a small number of them were newcomers to the household, and these people might have been bribed by his rivals.

Poisoned.

food.

A name suddenly popped into his mind: Zheng Ye, the kitchen manager.

This man had only been in the mansion for a little over three years, yet he had been poisoned for three years.

Nie Qianqian: "Doctors will naturally keep patients' information confidential. Since this person has been able to poison you for three years, Mr. Qian, you should be careful of everyone around you, including your close relatives."

Qian Yikuang frowned: "Doctor Qian said Liu Meiqing? Impossible. Liu Meiqing is sincere to me and loves me deeply. It could never be her."

Nie Qianqian: Love is a light, so green it makes you panic.

Nie Qianqian: "I did not specifically order Madam, but I am just reminding Master Qian to be careful."

Qian Yikuang: "Thank you for the reminder, Dr. Qian. This matter involves my life, so I will be extremely careful."

This matter is of great importance, and he will investigate it carefully and discreetly.
