Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Qingying was also considered her friend. He and Qingyang had suffered for so many days, it was time for her to taste the bitterness of suffering as well, so she was in no hurry to remove the Gu with acupuncture.

"Let her call for a while! I'll go check on Qingying and the others," she said, leaning against the wall as she walked towards the room.

After Long Chuqing left, Doctor Yuan stroked his beard and said, "She's quite wicked, but I like her. I'd like her even more if she could give me a few more good prescriptions."

Qing Tong understood Long Chuqing's intention and said to Doctor Yuan, "She is avenging Qingying and Qingyang!"

Because the pain was unbearable, Afu could only wail in agony, unable to move. They just watched from the sidelines, showing no sympathy for her miserable state. Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Qingzhou's previous injuries were not serious, and after a few days of treatment, he is much better now. He is taking care of the two of them in the room.

They originally lived separately, but now they've moved together for easier treatment.

When Qingzhou saw Long Chuqing enter, he quickly stood up and made way for her, saying, "Greetings, Miss Long."

Long Chuqing nodded, "Let me take a look." He then went over to check their pulses, "The situation is relatively stable."

The room wasn't far from the living room, and the shouts could be faintly heard from inside. Actually, Qingzhou really wanted to go to the living room to see what was going on, but he had arranged for Qingzhou to stay here and watch over the place.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "Miss Long, what happened in the living room?"

Long Chuqing looked at him; he was handsome, around eighteen or nineteen years old, with the appearance of a young and inexperienced boy, clearly a curious child.

"If you want to know, go and see for yourself. I'll be watching."

Qingzhou hesitated for two seconds: "I'll be back soon," and then ran out quickly.

Qingzhou returned shortly afterward, his face beaming with satisfaction at his curiosity.

"I'm going out. You keep an eye on things and let me know if anything happens."

"Okay, be careful when you walk."

After Long Chuqing returned, he sealed her speech acupoints again, as she didn't want to listen to him; he was very noisy.

She asked, "Have you heard enough? Do you want to continue?"

Afu thought to herself, "Are you a devil?"

Everyone:...

Qing Tong thought it was about time, so he said to her, "That's enough." Although it was very satisfying to hear, it was indeed quite noisy.

Long Chuqing began to apply acupuncture to Afu, using silver needles to gradually force the mother Gu (a type of venomous insect) onto her arm.

She lifted the maid's sleeve and began to observe as she worked on the needle.

After about half a cup of tea's time, I saw the Gu worms wriggling on my arm.

Qing Tong shouted that he saw it, and everyone curiously craned their necks to see what the Gu worm looked like. Xiao Han also came over.

Long Chuqing asked a guard for a dagger, and with a swift motion, slashed open her wrist, causing blood to flow freely. She then sprinkled some medicinal powder on the wound.

The mother Gu will come following the scent of the medicinal powder.

The mother Gu slowly emerged from the blood vessels, finally burrowing out with the blood flow at the wound. Long Chuqing picked it up with her hand; the Gu worm wouldn't attack her. If it were an ordinary person, it would have already burrowed into someone else's skin.

She held the mother Gu in one hand and took the gauze prepared beside her with the other, asking Doctor Yuan to bandage her wrist.

Everyone was curious about what the mother Gu looked like, so Long Chuqing pinched it up and showed it to them, saying, "Take a look, this is a rare item."

With the mindset that good things should be shared, she showed them to everyone.

It was a thin, off-white worm, stained with blood, but this little thing could be deadly.

After everyone saw it, they exclaimed that it looked ordinary but was actually deadly. However, it was still wriggling. It was something that gave people goosebumps just looking at it, but Miss Long was holding it with her delicate hands.

The guard asked, "Miss Long, this thing is really disgusting, aren't you afraid?"

Long Chuqing smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."

Everyone said that it's best for young ladies not to play these kinds of games.

After everyone had seen it, Long Chuqing put the mother Gu into a bottle containing the medicine she had prepared.

They tied Afu up, and Long Chuqing said they no longer needed her and told them to take her back.

With the mother Gu, removing the Gu would be much easier. She went to Qingying and Qingyang's room and prepared a bowl of strong liquor, into which she poured some medicinal powder.

He first removed the silver needles from Qingying's body, took her pulse, observed her, and determined the location of the Gu worm.

She used a dagger to make a small incision at the location of the Gu worm, and poured out the mother Gu from the bottle. At this time, the mother Gu was no longer as active as before and had lost its ability to move.

She placed the mother Gu near the cut wound, and the offspring Gu would follow the mother Gu out on their own.

Before long, the worm burrowed out of the wound. Long Chuqing grabbed it and threw it into the strong liquor he had prepared earlier.

Once inside the body, the venomous worm can take the shape of a snake upon contact with blood. It is long and thin, hence the name "snake worm." Originally, it was just a very small insect.

After stopping Qingying's bleeding, the same method was used to remove the venomous insect from Qingyang's body.

Although the Gu worm has been removed, some Gu poison remains in the body. However, there is no longer any danger to the patient's life, and the patient will need to take medicine for a few more days.

Long Chuqing wrote down a prescription and gave it to Xiao Han, asking him to arrange for someone to decoct the medicine for them. Two bowls of water were boiled down to one bowl, and the medicine was to be taken three times a day for five consecutive days.

After giving them instructions, they both woke up one after another, though they were still a little dazed. They would be fine after a little rest.

When the others saw that they were awake, they all gathered around with concern, asking all sorts of questions: Are you feeling better? Is it still in pain? It's really heartwarming.

Long Chuqing put the Gu worms away and, without disturbing them, limped out of the room.

I looked up and saw that the sun was already setting in the west; it was already late afternoon.

Xiao Han followed her out, saying, "I'll take you home."

Yes, he carried her here when she arrived; she didn't bring any crutches.

Long Chuqing nodded. "Mm."

After leaving Wenxin Courtyard, there is a long corridor in the garden. At this time, there are many servants working in the courtyard, coming and going.

Everyone secretly glanced over at them, curiously observing them.

Although everyone knew that a young lady had stayed at Qiushui Pavilion for a few days, they had never seen the two of them together. Now that they had seen them together, and even in an embrace, they all became curious.

Some people had been seen around noon, carried out by the prince.

Inevitably, some people have wild thoughts and opinions.

"I didn't believe it when I heard he was lame, but now it seems to be true."

"It seems like it's just a broken bone, it'll heal and be fine, right?"

"I didn't see her face directly, but from the side, she's definitely good-looking."

"I've seen her. She was incredibly beautiful when she helped clean Qiushui Pavilion."

"She's not pretty, would Your Highness keep her in the palace? I've never seen any women around Your Highness before."

"That's true. It's the first time I've ever seen a prince so intimate with a woman!"

The head matron came over and dismissed everyone, saying, "Get back to work! Stop gossiping about the master, don't you want to work anymore?"

Everyone dispersed in a hurry.

Long Chuqing knew everyone was looking at them, but she didn't care much, after all, she was a bit dim-witted.

Ignoring the stares of others, Xiao Han carried Long Chuqing toward Qiushui Pavilion.

Along the way, they encountered servants walking towards them. When the servants saw them, they would stand to the side, bow, and then secretly watch them from behind after they had gone some distance.
