Chapter 301: Mo Yu Yun Tian (5)
Su Luo walked to the bedside and carefully observed the woman's expression.
Su Luo put his hand on the woman's pulse, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
This pulse... is weak and powerless, sometimes comes and sometimes goes, like... poisoning?
Su Luo was puzzled, thinking that Duke Suguo's backyard was not a peaceful place.
"Sister, how is my mother? Can you save her?" The little boy looked at Su Luo expectantly.
Su Luo pondered for a moment and said, "I can temporarily save her life, but... it will probably take some time to completely cure her."
"Really? That's great!" the little boy said excitedly, "Sister, please, please save my mother!"
Su Luo nodded, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and poured out a red pill, which was a fitness pill.
"This is a life-saving pill secretly made by my elders for me. Give it to your mother first." Su Luo said.
The little boy took the pill and carefully fed it to the woman.
After a while, the woman's face gradually became redder and her breathing became much smoother.
"Mom! Mom, wake up!" The little boy gently shook the woman.
The woman slowly opened her eyes and saw the little boy with a loving look in her eyes.
"Heng'er..." The woman's voice was weak, but full of joy.
"Mom, you finally woke up! This sister saved you!" Xiao Heng pointed at Su Luo and said.
The woman looked at Su Luo, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, young lady... for saving my life..."
Su Luo smiled slightly and said, "Madam, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small favor."
"Sister, you are so amazing! You are the best doctor I have ever seen!" Xiao Heng said excitedly.
Su Luo smiled and said nothing.
This child is quite talkative. However, his mother's illness is indeed a bit tricky. It seems that we need to find a way to thoroughly investigate it.
"Madam, how do you feel now?" Su Luo asked.
The woman shook her head and said, "Much better...but I still feel weak all over..."
Su Luo nodded and said, "This is normal. You need to rest well. Let me prescribe a prescription for you. If you take the medicine on time, you should be able to recover soon."
"Thank you, young lady." The woman said gratefully.
Su Luo walked to the table, picked up a pen and ink, and wrote down a prescription.
"Some of the herbs in this prescription are quite rare and may be hard to find." Su Luo said, "If you really can't find them, you can come to me."
"Okay, I understand," said the woman.
Su Luo's eyes swept across the room and finally fell on the shabby bed.
The bed curtains hung low, unable to conceal the traces of time. The air was filled with the smell of medicine, mixed with a faint hint of decay.
How does this look like the residence of the Duke's wife?
It is clearly more dilapidated than an ordinary person's house.
Looking at the mother and son in front of me, the woman looked pale and haggard. Although the little boy was dressed neatly, he could not hide the worry between his brows.
Su Luo understood in her heart that it seemed that the inner courtyard of the Duke Su's Mansion was far more complicated than she had imagined.
I'm afraid that the mother and son have suffered a lot of grievances in this deep courtyard.
"Sanglan," Su Luo turned around and ordered, "You go guard outside. No one is allowed to approach."
"Yes, miss." Song Lan responded and retreated, guarding the door.
Su Luo then turned around and looked at the woman, his tone gentle but firm: "Madam, can you trust me?"
The woman was slightly startled, then nodded, a glint of trust in her eyes: "I believe the girl."
Su Luo nodded and continued, "The symptoms you are experiencing are not from an ordinary illness, but... poisoning."
"Poisoned?!" the woman exclaimed, her face turning paler in an instant.
Xiao Heng's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "Sister, you said my mother was poisoned? Who is it? Who wants to harm my mother?"
Su Luo patted Xiao Heng's shoulder soothingly, signaling him to stay calm.
"Madam, please don't get excited. I can use acupuncture to force the toxins in your body to the Tanzhong point."
Su Luo paused, his tone becoming serious: "However, this matter is of great importance. Madam and Young Master, please keep it a secret for me."
Upon hearing this, the woman nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, young lady. Heng'er and I will keep this a secret and won't reveal a single word to anyone."
Xiao Heng followed suit and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will never tell anyone!"
He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were firm, and he had obviously made up his mind.
Su Luo looked at the mother and son, and his heart warmed slightly.
In this deep courtyard, it is not easy to gain such trust.
Su Luo took out an exquisite needle bag from his arms and slowly unfolded it.
Inside, golden needles of different lengths were neatly arranged, sparkling coldly under the dim light.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and began to give the acupuncture.
The slender fingers moved quickly on the woman's body, accurately found the acupuncture points, twisted the needle, and inserted it.
The movements were smooth and seamless, without any hesitation.
As the golden needle was inserted, Su Luo slowly transferred the Yangzhou slow true qi into the woman's body.
The true energy followed the golden needle, traveling through the woman's meridians, looking for traces of the poison and forcing it towards the Tanzhong point little by little.
Yangzhou's slow true qi is gentle in nature, and now under Su Luo's control, it is like a spring breeze and rain, nourishing the woman's damaged meridians.
As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on the woman's forehead and her face gradually became rosy.
Xiao Heng watched nervously from the side, not daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing Su Luo.
The time of a stick of incense seemed to last a century.
Finally, Su Luo slowly pulled out the last golden needle.
She breathed a sigh of relief, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
Using Yangzhou slow true qi to heal others is also a huge drain on her.
The woman slowly opened her eyes and felt relaxed all over, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her.
The originally weak body also regained some strength.
"I... I feel much better..." the woman said in surprise.
She struggled to get up, but was held down by Su Luo.
"Don't worry, Madam. You still need to rest."
But the woman insisted on getting out of bed, and Xiao Heng hurried forward to support her.
The mother and son knelt side by side in front of Su Luo and bowed deeply.
"Thank you so much for saving my life! I will never forget your kindness!" The woman's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was trembling, but full of sincere gratitude.
She struggled to express her gratitude more deeply, but her body was still weak and she could only hold Su Luo's hand tightly.
The Duke's wife tried to calm her excitement and asked softly, "May I know your name? When I recover, I will come to thank you in person."
