The Lady's Sickly Husband

C127. Plan B

Asan and Awu left. Mo Qianxue pondered a little, ordered Chuyi and Shiwu to make some hot water, and had charcoal burnt in the room.

When they would come back with the doctor was unknown. If the room was warmer, and Ning Shaoqing was bathed in hot water, he might feel better, even if the poison couldn't be removed. The hot water helped maintain his temperature. If one bucket wasn't enough, then use two and three and more. As long as his temperature was maintained, it didn't matter for her to take the trouble. In less than a quarter, the hot water was ready, so Mo Qianxue let Chuyi moved in the room a big wooden bucket and poured the hot water into before putting Ning Shaoqing in it.

Afterwards, Mo Qianxue found that the frost between his eyebrows seemed to melt a little. Gratified, she ordered Chuyi to let Mingyue and Caixia begin to keep boiling water from now on.

The cooking pot in the workshop and in the kitchen were used respectively by them to keep boiling water which then was sent to the room by hidden guards.

She stood on the side to instruct Chuyi to change water continuously in order to maintain the temperature of the water at around 38 degrees Celsius. By the constant hard work, the three of them quickly found their clothes soaked in sweat.

Chuyi knew that she couldn't stop lady from this, so she tried beyond her limit to concentrate on the labor. As long as Mo Qianxue gave her a look, she knew what to do next.

Fortunately, at four o'clock in the morning, Asan and Awu came back with the strange doctor.

Seeing old Mr. Wang, Mo Qianxue instantly got a little relived, but as her tense nerves relaxed, she suddenly felt dizzy. Shaking hard her head, she greeted the doctor as Chuyi opened the door and led him in.

Seeing the scene and feeling the high temperature in the room, the odd doctor was moved. Probably, only a girl clever as her was able to think of such an idea, which was although troublesome, useful.

Mr. Wang sighed. Even if she was smart, without the guiding herb, the effort was in vain after all.

Shaking his head, he looked to Mo Qianxue's expectant eyes and said, "This poison could have been cured, but now the guiding herb was destroyed. I really can't do anything."

Mo Qianxue wobbled, and Chuyi hurriedly walked over to support her.

If there was really nothing he could do, this strange old man wouldn't have come here. Thinking of this, Mo Qianxue's drooping eyes looked up again, "Really? Is there nothing you could do or you're not willing to do?"

She didn't know that the odd doctor had come here only because of the token from lord Lu. He was strange, but he was also a man who kept his words.

He owed lord Lu a favor and had promised that no matter how held this token and whether there was a cure, he would go to visit the patient. He didn't talk and only felt with interest the water temperature in the barrel.

Mo Qianxue squinted her eyes, "I have many other peculiar food prescriptions and a dozen methods of first aid against diseases similar to stroke. If you're interested, I can write them down for you to study."

This wasn't a threat but a pleading.

One method of first aid might not intrigued the doctor, but a dozen would. Mo Qianxue believed that he must be moved.

Real master doctors were all interested in cures against intractable diseases. As expected, brilliance glistened in his eyes.

However, he had his own principles. As long as he decided to treat the patient, he must remove the root cause of the disease. If he wasn't able to, he wouldn't start the treatment.
