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

Over the next few days, Nie Qianqian came to the Qian residence every day to perform acupuncture on Qian Yikuang, and his health gradually improved.

Qian Yikuang was a cautious man. Although he was no longer seriously ill, he asked Nie Qianqian to help him conceal the truth from the whole household, saying only that Qian Yikuang had been overworked in the past and had damaged his spleen and stomach, and that he would probably be bedridden for some time.

He remained sickly every day, barely eating any of the food that was brought to him. Sometimes, after eating a little, he would force himself to vomit it up.

Qian Yikuang also asked Nie Qianqian to check his food, and sure enough, they found that a very small amount of poison had been added to the food.

Nie Qianqian told Qian Yikuang, "Ordinary doctors can't detect such a dosage. The person who poisoned the person had a very precise grasp of the dosage and must have studied medicine."

The person who poisoned him was extremely malicious. Qian Yikuang just couldn't understand why, if they really wanted to kill him, they would use such a small dose and take several years to wear him down.

Initially, Dr. Qian told him that he had been poisoned with a slow-acting poison. Qian Yikuang had doubted Dr. Qian's words, suspecting that Dr. Qian was wicked and wanted to take advantage of his illness and weakness to fabricate some false symptoms to extort money from him.

But his doubts gradually dissipated. He did indeed feel the symptoms that Dr. Qian had described. After acupuncture treatments over the past few days, in addition to feeling that his spleen and stomach had improved and he was no longer vomiting or having diarrhea, his original symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, and numbness of the lips were all lessening. His whole body felt lighter than ever before, and he did feel as if toxins were being cleared away.

Liu Meiqing continued to take meticulous care of Qian Yikuang every day, showing great concern for every single hair on his head. Nie Qianqian watched this with admiration, thinking, "She's truly a hardworking and capable woman!"

Qian Yikuang had suspected many people in the household, but he never suspected his beloved wife. He felt deeply moved by Liu Meiqing's meticulous care. The two had a son, and Liu Meiqing would never harm him.

On the fourth day after giving Qian Yikuang acupuncture, when Nie Qianqian arrived at the mansion, Liu Meiqing was massaging Qian Yikuang's legs and said softly, "I think Master's complexion is much better. Why can't he eat much? I see that Master has lost weight, and it breaks my heart."

Qian Yikuang coughed a few times, "This illness is like pulling silk from a cocoon, how can it get better so quickly? I already feel much better, but I have no strength at all, and I can't even get out of bed."

Liu Meiqing: "Master has been ill for several days. His legs and feet need to recover and adapt slowly. Meiqing will massage them for you. You will be fully recovered soon. Eat more tonics and you will naturally recover."

Liu Meiqing bent down slightly to massage Qian Yikuang's legs. Qian Yikuang looked at Liu Meiqing's snow-white chest and felt a surge of heat rising within him.

He'd been sick for so long and hadn't touched Liu Meiqing in ages; he was really itching to get intimate.

Liu Meiqing was an absolute beauty; her skills in bed drove him wild, and he surrendered in no time.

Qian Yikuang stroked Liu Meiqing's breasts and gently pinched them. Liu Meiqing let out a soft moan, "Ah~"

Qian Yikuang pinched Liu Meiqing's little face, "You're such a little devil. Once the master is better, he'll come and pamper you."

Two blushes appeared on Liu Meiqing's face, making her look even more charming. "Master, you must get better soon."

This scene was witnessed by Nie Qianqian, who was just about to enter the room, and she shook her head helplessly.

Lust is truly a double-edged sword. If it weren't for her, Qian Yikuang probably wouldn't have known how he died until the day he died.

"Cough cough."

Nie Qianqian coughed lightly twice, and the two people inside the room immediately distanced themselves upon hearing the sound.

Qian Yikuang smiled and said, "Dr. Qian has arrived. Please have a seat. Meiqing, quickly pour Dr. Qian a cup of hot tea."

Liu Meiqing obediently poured Nie Qianqian a bowl of tea herself.

Qian Yikuang: "Dr. Qian's medical skills are superb. I feel much better after these acupuncture treatments. However, I feel really stifled being confined to this bed. I would like to ask how many more days it will take to fully recover?"

After saying that, he winked at Nie Qianqian, wanting her to cooperate with him again.

Nie Qianqian lowered her voice and said, "Master Qian's spleen and stomach are probably not good to begin with. His recovery is much slower than I expected. It will take another five or six days before he can get better and have the strength to get out of bed and move around freely."

Qian Yikuang sighed deeply, "Alas, this is the only way."

He feigned illness to continue to lull those in the household into a false sense of security regarding the poisoning. He had already sent trusted confidants to secretly investigate the past of Steward Zheng in the kitchen, paying particular attention to whether he had studied medicine. News should be sent back in the next few days.

Inside the mansion, he also had people keep an eye on Steward Zheng to see if there were any unusual movements or if he had any contact with any unusual people. However, the reports from the past few days have all been that Steward Zheng is acting normally and there is nothing wrong with him.

Nie Qianqian was about to administer acupuncture to Qian Yikuang when Liu Meiqing was about to leave, but Qian Yikuang called out to her, "Meiqing, wait a moment."

Qian Yikuang's face showed some worry as he earnestly said to Nie Qianqian, "Dr. Qian, your medical skills are superb. May you examine Madam?"

The person who poisoned her was extremely vicious. Qian Yikuang was worried that Liu Meiqing had also been poisoned, but had not been discovered.

Nie Qianqian naturally understood Qian Yikuang's meaning, and felt extremely helpless. This Qian Yikuang was really blinded by beauty, and he was even worried about whether the real culprit who poisoned her had been poisoned. What a pig brain!

Helpless, Nie Qianqian examined Liu Meiqing.

Liu Meiqing had never been exposed to those poisons and was in good health, so she readily allowed Nie Qianqian to examine her.

After examining Qian Yikuang, Nie Qianqian shook her head slightly and said, "Madam's body is perfectly healthy, with abundant blood and energy, and her internal organs are in harmony."

Liu Meiqing, in collusion with Steward Zheng, ruined Qian Yikuang's health, while taking excellent care of her own.

Upon hearing this, Qian Yikuang felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

Liu Meiqing didn't seem to care about Doctor Qian's diagnosis. She was pleasantly surprised when she heard what Doctor Qian said, nodded slightly, and then prepared to leave.

Nie Qianqian saw this and guessed that her lover, who was skilled in medicine, must have examined her countless times already. How could she not know her own physical condition?

While Qian Yikuang was foolishly worried about Liu Meiqing's health, Liu Meiqing ruthlessly poisoned him.

Qian Yikuang's trust in Liu Meiqing was precisely because he had exposed Steward Zheng. As long as Steward Zheng didn't reveal Liu Meiqing's identity, she would never be exposed, and he could find an opportunity to kill Qian Yikuang in the future.

Nie Qianqian shook her head, gently waved her hand, and sprinkled the powder towards Liu Meiqing, who was about to leave.

The powder that Nie Qianqian sprinkled was a powerful aphrodisiac called "Yan Sheng Jiao".

Considering that Nie Qianqian obtained an important clue about the jade pendant from the Qian family, let's help Qian Yikuang out.

Nie Qianqian looked at Qian Yikuang, whose face was glowing with greed, and thought to herself: You're welcome. Please call me a living Lei Feng.
