The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 141: Detoxification Successful, Lu Wanning Instantly Becomes a Year Younger!

Lu Wanning bit her lip, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she did not utter a groan. She just silently endured the discomfort in her body.

Dongfang Wan'er was also having a hard time, because she had to maintain a high level of focus and tension at all times, and could not relax in the slightest, otherwise the slightest carelessness would lead to the failure of treatment.

Half an hour later...

Dongfang Wan'er finally finished the last needle, slowly removed the silver needle, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, Lu Wanning was soaked in sweat, her face was as pale as paper, and she was exhausted.

"Mother, very good, you've persevered and are already more than halfway there!" Dongfang Wan'er tenderly wiped the sweat from Lu Wanning's forehead and gently stroked her cheek.

"Wan'er, Mother can still hold on!" Lu Wanning's weak voice came, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

"Miss, the medicine is ready!" Qiuqin walked in carrying a bowl of dark, murky medicinal soup, the steaming aroma filling the entire room.

"Okay. Pour it into the bathtub!" Dongfang Wan'er took the medicine bowl and carefully poured the liquid into the bathtub. As the liquid gradually darkened, she felt a surge of anticipation.

"Yes, Miss!" Qiuqin hurriedly went to prepare hot water, and in no time, she had prepared a full bucket of steaming water.

"Qiuqin, prepare another basin and a knife!" Dongfang Wan'er's voice was calm and firm, making people feel a sense of trust in her.

Dongfang Wan'er helped Lu Wanning into the inner room, comforting her as she said, "Mother, the pain from the acupuncture was just a piece of cake. The real challenge is yet to come. But don't worry, I'll give you a painkiller so the pain won't be so intense. Once the medicine is absorbed, everything will be alright!"

"Don't worry, Wan'er, Mother will definitely hold on!" Lu Wanning forced a smile despite the pain, which made Dongfang Wan'er feel a pang of sadness.

"Mm!" Dongfang Wan'er nodded, helped Lu Wanning into the bathtub, gently placed her body in the water, and then sat aside, waiting quietly.

Lu Wanning sat quietly in the bathtub. At first, she did not feel anything unusual, but as time went by, she suddenly felt a sharp pain all over her body.

"Mother, take your painkillers!" Dongfang Wan'er had been closely monitoring Lu Wanning's condition. Upon noticing the abnormality, she quickly reminded Lu Wanning to take her painkillers.

Lu Wanning swallowed the painkiller without hesitation, and the pain gradually subsided, becoming bearable. The excruciating pain she had just experienced was almost unbearable, as if her life was about to end.

Time passed slowly, and most of the originally dark medicine had been absorbed by the body, and the color of the medicine became clearer and clearer.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Dongfang Wan'er said softly, "Qiuqin, knife, get the basin, catch it!"

She took the knife from Qiuqin, disinfected it, and carefully cut open Lu Wanning's wrist to guide the blood out.

The blood that was initially released was black, but gradually it turned red...

"All right!"

Dongfang Wan'er put away the dagger, wiped the bloodstains with a handkerchief, then stopped Lu Wanning's bleeding and applied Dan Shenyi's Bingqing Yulu Ointment.

Lu Wanning was surprised to find that she could no longer feel pain. A cool sensation came from the wound, and her whole body felt warm, as if she were enveloped by a magical power.

"Come, Mother, eat this!" Dongfang Wan'er took out a crystal-clear pill, which was the antidote made from Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Lu Wanning took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill entered her throat, transforming into a cool current that traveled throughout her body along her meridians. Lu Wan Ning closed her eyes, feeling the changes in her body. She felt her body becoming lighter and lighter, as if all the fatigue and pain had left her.

"Wan'er, I feel like I'm ten years younger, like I've gone back to ten years ago!" Lu Wanning opened her eyes and said with surprise.

"Pfft..." Dongfang Wan'er chuckled softly, "Mother, it's not just that I feel like I've gone back ten years, it's that I've truly gone back ten years! Look..."

As she spoke, Dongfang Wan'er took out a bronze mirror and placed it in front of Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning stared wide-eyed at her reflection in the mirror. Her once pale and haggard face was now rosy and radiant, the wrinkles around her eyes had disappeared, her hair was jet black and shiny, and she looked more than ten years younger.

Lu Wanning looked at herself in the mirror and was very surprised...

"Wan'er, this..."

Lu Wanning was speechless for a moment, unsure how to express her joy and amazement. She gently stroked her smooth, delicate skin, feeling the surprise brought by the reversal of time. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had disappeared, and her skin glowed with a fair luster, as if time had rewound ten years for her. It was all so magical that she could hardly believe it.

“Mother, there’s no need to be surprised. This is the miraculous effect of the Tianshan Snow Lotus. It’s just that my skills are not yet proficient, and I haven’t been able to bring out the full medicinal effect of the Tianshan Snow Lotus,” Dongfang Wan’er explained softly.

"That's already very good, silly girl!" Lu Wanning's eyes shone with pride.

"Come, Mother, get up quickly. After resting for a few more days, we can return to the Marquis's residence." Lu Wanning nodded with a smile. Now she trusted her daughter completely and would listen to whatever she said.

After settling Lu Wanning in, Dongfang Wan'er applied a mud mask to herself and then went to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, but Dongfang Wan'er remained fast asleep. Ye Jiuchen arrived early to wait, but it was nearly noon, and Dongfang Wan'er was still soundly asleep.

"Miss, wake up!"

"Hmm... What time is it, Qiuqin? Can't you let me sleep a little longer!" Dongfang Wan'er turned over, reached out and covered her head with the quilt, her voice muffled.

"It's almost lunchtime, Miss!"

"Ah... I've slept for so long, no wonder I feel hungry. Help me get dressed!" Dongfang Wan'er then slowly got out of bed.

"Miss, it's only because the young master dotes on you. If it were any other man... never mind, I won't say anything more. Only the young master is worthy of you!" Qiuqin couldn't help but complain as she helped Dongfang Wan'er wash up.

"Oh no, I almost forgot about the important matter. Has Ye Jiuchen arrived yet?" Dongfang Wan'er suddenly remembered something important.

"Miss, you finally remembered! The young master arrived early this morning and has been waiting for you until now. He even told me not to bother you!" Qiuqin said irritably.

"I know, I know, you little nag!" After washing up, Dongfang Wan'er went straight to the main hall. It was lunchtime, and her stomach was giving her a timely hunger pang.

"Wan'er, get up! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
