Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard

He’s Poisoned!

T/N: I thought I’d dodged the poisoned ML troupe with this novel ;v; curse you clichessss

Du Xiao Li finally came to realization after getting pulled out of the courtyard by Leng Er. Was this considered getting kidnapped?

“What are you doing!?” Du Xiao Li twisted her wrist, struggled free from Leng Er’s hand, and coldly shouted.

Leng Er didn’t ponder on how Du Xiao Li was able to struggle free from his grasp. With an anxious look, he tried to pull her hand again, saying: “Our young master fainted, quickly come save him!”

“Isn’t grandpa Niu home? Besides, last time didn’t I teach you guys a method?” Du Xiao Li said.

“It’s not young master’s diseases that’s acting up. He just suddenly fainted. Doctor Niu still haven’t found the cause.” Leng Er said. “Quit wasting time, quickly come with me.”

Du Xiao Li unwillingly followed Leng Er down the mountain. She didn’t know whether exposing her medical skills like this would be good or not.

“You walk so slow!” Leng Er, who was already far ahead, saw Du Xiao Li still dillydallying, and hastily walked back. He scooped her up, and with the tap of his foot on the ground, they directly flew down from the mountain.

“Ah…..” Du Xiao Li unconsciously closed her eyes and screamed. By the time she realized Leng Er was using the legendary ‘qing gong’ and carrying her through the air, she entirely became excited.

Very soon, the two of them arrived at Niu Jing’s courtyard. As soon as they entered, Leng Er said, “I brought the girl.”

“Why did you bring her here at such a time?” Leng Yi shot a glare at Leng Er, and berated in a low voice.

“Last time wasn’t it her that saved young master? Let her try this time too.” Leng Er said, completely with the att.i.tude of treating a dead horse like a living horse*.

(T/N: Doing anything and everything in a desperate situation.)

Du Xiao Li couldn’t help rolling her eyes at Leng Er. Afterwards, she went around them and entered the house. As soon as she entered, she saw Niu Jing sitting by the bedside, and Han Ming Yi lying on the bed with a deathly pale face.

“Grandpa Niu.” Du Xiao Li walked to Niu Jing’s side.

Niu Jing was in the middle of contemplating when he saw Du Xiao Li. He didn’t expect that Leng Er really had her brought here. Recalling how she’d previously saved Han Ming Yi, he said, “Li girl, quickly come have a look. Why is young master still unconscious?”

Leng Yi and Leng Er also walked in at this time. The three of them all stared at her.

“Grandpa Niu, I….” Du Xiao Li wanted to say that last time was only a coincidence, but when she saw the sorrow coming from him, her words of refusal could no longer come out. “Grandpa Niu, is he really important to you?”

“Yes, he’s just like a grandson to me.” Niu Jing said.

“Is that so.” Du Xiao Li sighed and said, “Then alright, I’ll try.”

With that said, she sat down right where Niu Jing was just sitting, grabbed Han Ming Yi’s hand, and lightly checked his pulse.

She actually also knew how to check pulse!

Niu Jing looked to Du Xiao Li’s movement in shock, and unconsciously dropped his jaw.

Leng Yi and Leng Er more or less had the same reaction, especially Leng Er, his mouth was wide enough to shove an egg in.

Actually, they originally only wanted to see if Du Xiao Li had any folk remedies that could help Han Ming Yi wake up. Yet unexpectedly, she actually knew how to take the pulse!

After she finished taking the right hand, she grabbed Han Ming Yi’s left hand and examined for a while, then asking with a grave expression, “Is he poisoned?”

“Poisoned? Shouldn’t be. Our young master only has this twitching disease ever since he was small, he shouldn’t have any signs of poisoning!” Leng Er said.

Du Xiao Li casted her gaze towards Niu Jing, and Niu Jing thought for a moment and said, “I’ve examined his pulse countless of times before, and didn’t discover any signs of poisoning in his pulse either.”

“He should be poisoned.” Du Xiao Li was firm with her judgement. She took out that case of silver needles from her little pouch, found the only needle actually made from silver inside, and stabbed the needle into Han Ming Yi’s wrist.

“You….” Leng Er wanted to asked why she stabbed Han Ming Yi, but before his words could come out, he already saw that needle in Han Ming Yi’s wrist slowly turn black, “There-, there’s poison!”

Du Xiao Li tore a piece of cloth from Han Ming Yi’s body, folded it in half, and pulled out the silver needle with the cloth. Afterwards, she had the needled handed to Niu Jing to see.

“He really is poisoned!” Niu Jing saw the black colored needle and said in somewhat disbelief, “Then young master is unconscious because of the poison?”

“I think that might be the case.” Du Xiao Li nodded her head, “If my guess is correct, he’s been suffering from this poison since he was very small. Furthermore, it’s the kind of poison that harms the nerves. Because of the corroding from the poison, his nerves have suffered damage, thus suffering from epilepsy, that is the twitching disease you speak of. And recently grandpa Niu has been treating his body right? Because the poison is still in his body, that’s why these external medicines would also harm his body. This might be why he fainted.”

“Then we can just treat the poison right? Do you know how to detoxify the poison?” Leng Er impatiently asked.

Du Xiao Li shook her head. It’s not like she studied poison before, how can she detoxify the poison? Seeing three disappointed looks, she said, “I don’t know how to cure poison, but I can have the poison expelled out of the body.”

“You can also cure the poison without knowing what kind of poison it is?” Leng Er said in surprise.

Du Xiao Li saw Leng Er’s endlessly changing expression and couldn’t help saying, “Why don’t you go perform in the Sichuan opera?”

(T/N: In the Sichuan opera there’s a ‘face-changing’ performance, where the performer will cycle through masks.)

“What?” Leng Er didn’t understand.

Du Xiao Li was too lazy to explain to him. She looked to Niu Jing, “Grandpa Niu?”

Leng Yi and Leng Er also looked to Niu Jing.

Niu Jing nodded his head and agreed to Du Xiao Li expelling the poison for Han Ming Yi.

Since Niu Jing agreed, Du Xiao Li had Leng Er bring a basin filled with wine, and had her silver needles taken from the case and placed into the basin. Afterwards, she let Leng Yi have all the clothes on Han Ming Yi’s body removed, only leaving his underpants.

Just then, Du Xiu Heng finally ran in. He saw Du Xiao Li standing by Han Ming Yi’s side, and Han Ming Yi had been stripped naked. He pulled Du Xiao Li over at once and asked, “What are you all doing!?”

“Big brother.” Du Xiao Li was just planning on injecting the needle, when she was pulled over by Du Xiu Heng, startling her in the process.

“What are you doing? How can you look at a guy’s body?” Du Xiu Heng said angrily, “Grandpa Niu, how could you let Xiao Li do this kind of thing?”

Sweat…..

Du Xiao Li knew Du Xiu Heng had misunderstood, and quickly began to explain, “Big brother, I’m expelling poison for big brother Yi.”

“Let someone else do it.” Du Xiu Heng said.

“Big brother, if you keep making a fuss like this, big brother Yi’s life will be in danger.” Du Xiao Li said.

Du Xiu Heng saw that Han Ming Yi’s complexion certainly wasn’t very good, and then looked to Niu Jing.  Finally, he let go of his hand and stood to side.

Du Xiao Li picked up the silver needles that were wiped dry, glanced to Leng Yi and the others and said, “No matter what I do in a bit, don’t interrupt me, else your young master will be in trouble.”

“Understood.” Niu Jing, Leng Yi and Leng Er all replied.

Du Xiao Li took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she felt like an entirely different person. She felt around Han Ming Yi’s body, and after finding a spot, she quickly had the needle injected. Afterwards, she slowly twirled it a few times before finally letting go.

Leng Er watched how she had the needle inserted into Han Ming Yi’s qihai acupuncture point, and nearly cried out in shock. Then recalling Du Xiao Li’s earlier warning, he covered his mouth with his hands.

(T/N: Acupuncture point directly below the navel.)

Du Xiao Li picked up the second silver needle and continued up with her left hand. After determining the position of the second acupuncture point, she used the same speed to stab it in, slowly twirl it, and then let go.

Watching Du Xiao Li insert the second needle, this time, even Leng Yi let out a cold sweat from the shock. The two acupuncture points she picked were both major points in the human body. If there was the slightest mishap, Han Ming Yi’s life can be considered ruined.

The third needled, Du Xiao Li directly inserted into the Baihui point. If not for the three of them firmly remembering her words earlier, they would have definitely made a fuss by now.

(T/N: Dead center of the top of the skull.)

After she finished inserting these three needles, Du Xiao Li slightly let out a breath in relief. She successively picked up the remaining needles and inserted them into the other acupuncture points on his body. Compared to her speed earlier, these were inserted much faster. When she inserted the last needle into his right hand, Han Ming Yi’s right hand began rapidly swelling.

“Bing over the basin!” Du Xiao Li ordered.

Leng Yi quickly brought over a wooden basin and placed it below Han Ming Yi’s right hand. Du Xiao Li took out the dagger from her little pouch, and quickly cut a slit on his five fingers. Black blood flowed out from the cuts on his fingertips.
