Chapter 125: Healing King Jin, the Toxin of the Seven-Star Flower
"Ding Dong ~ The host has a new mission. Please rescue all the villagers. You will be rewarded with 5000 points and a lucky draw."
"Ding Dong ~ The host has a new mission. Ask His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to treat internal injuries. Reward points and a special reward for the ability to predict the future."
Xia Wanwan was just about to talk about the bet between her and King Jin, but suddenly she received two tasks issued by the system in succession.
She had noticed that Prince Jin's expression was not right just now, but she just didn't say it out loud.
Now the system has given her this task, which shows that King Jin is the kind of person who is truly dedicated to the people, and not the kind of person who is just doing superficial work. Otherwise, the system would not let her provide treatment.
If she had been a little wary before, she could now completely believe that Prince Jin was a good man.
"System, I've accepted the mission."
After Xia Wanwan accepted the task, she did not continue to talk about the bet, but walked forward a few steps and came in front of King Jin.
"You are so bold! You are not allowed to come within three feet of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."
When the two guards saw her approaching Prince Jin, they immediately drew their swords and put them on Xia Wanwan's neck with cold faces.
"Wanwan!"
"sister!"
Xia Zhian and Xia Qingqing were so scared when they saw the guard holding a sword against Xia Wanwan's neck that cold sweats broke out on their backs. They called out to her worriedly.
"Dad, Qingqing! I'm fine."
Xia Wanwan turned around and gave them a reassuring smile.
Prince Jin did not stop her, but carefully observed the changes in Xia Wanwan's facial expression. Seeing that she was not panicked at all, but inquired about him very calmly, he couldn't help but feel that the woman in front of him was more interesting.
He waved his hand to signal the guards to withdraw, then asked Xia Wanwan, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Xia Wanwan didn't beat around the bush. She ignored his inquiry and asked calmly, "Your Highness Prince Jin, before I make a bet, let me help you heal your internal injuries first."
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became several degrees colder.
Apart from a few loyal subordinates, only the two imperial physicians in the palace and the emperor's brother knew that Prince Jin had internal injuries.
How did this woman know this?
Prince Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes looking at Xia Wanwan gradually became cold and fierce, and finally murderous.
Despite this, she still looked at herself calmly and calmly.
next moment.
Prince Jin suddenly smiled, stood up, walked over to Xia Wanwan, and asked tentatively, "I wonder what method you would like to use to help me heal my internal injuries? And how long will it take?"
Xia Wanwan smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "Your Highness, please extend your hand so I can take your pulse."
"How dare you! Your Majesty is a noble prince. How can you take my pulse just like that?"
Seeing how bold she was, the subordinates around her drew their swords and pointed them at her again.
When Xia Zian and Xia Qingqing saw this scene, their hearts beat faster than ever. But they couldn't say anything. If they angered His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, they would not only fail to save Xia Wanwan, but would also harm her instead.
"Prince Jin! Your people are a little ignorant. They scared my family."
Xia Wanwan put her hands behind her back, her eyebrows curved, and said with a smile to King Jin.
"Come here, give me a seat."
King Jin was amused again by her actions.
Although he was a gentle person, she was the first person in such a long time who dared to speak to him like this.
"Please sit down, Your Highness Prince Jin. I'll take your pulse and treat you accordingly later."
After seeing that her father and sister had seats, Xia Wanwan felt that Prince Jin was quite sincere, so she stopped hiding it and took out the golden needle from her pocket.
Prince Jin sat back in his chair. When he saw her take out the golden needles, he was slightly surprised. Then he said disappointedly, "You're not planning to use acupuncture on me, are you? It's useless. The best doctor in the palace has already given me acupuncture countless times, and there's still no improvement."
If his internal injuries could be so easily cured with acupuncture, he would have recovered long ago.
Xia Wanwan looked serious and said coldly, "Just because the imperial physician is incompetent doesn't mean I'm incompetent. His Royal Highness Prince Jin has been suffering from internal injuries for ten years. Do you think I'm right?"
"Yes."
Prince Jin didn't expect that she could diagnose his condition so accurately just by taking his pulse.
After Xia Wanwan finished speaking, she pulled out a golden needle and slowly inserted it into an acupuncture point below his left atrium. She continued, "Actually, your injuries have never fully healed because you didn't properly recover when you were first injured. If I'm not mistaken, you were forced to fight for a while after your injury, which only exacerbated your injuries. Plus, you have a chronic poison from the Seven Star Flower in your system, which torments your mental state every time you practice. That's why you haven't recovered."
Prince Jin's face suddenly darkened, and he said in shock, "Are you saying that there's a chronic poison called Seven Star Flower in my body? What kind of poison is that? Why have I never heard of it, and why have I never felt any signs of poisoning myself?"
Even the two guards next to him found it incredible.
Xia Wanwan took out another golden needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point on his back, located near his lungs. She slowly said, "The Seven-Star Flower grows in extremely cold places. Its toxicity is very weak, but very long-lasting and difficult to cure. Even if taken once, its poison can remain dormant in the body for decades, rendering a person unable to concentrate and unable to practice qigong.
The person who poisoned you probably didn't want your life, but wanted to use the poison to control your strength after you were injured internally, making it impossible for you to recover for the rest of your life and leaving you in a weak state for a while.
Because the flower's toxin, once heated to a certain temperature, becomes more potent than usual. Furthermore, the toxin is so deeply hidden that even a silver needle test wouldn't reveal it, which is why even the imperial physician couldn't diagnose it.
When you practice Qigong, the Qi in your body will flow throughout your body. Therefore, when you practice Qigong to heal injuries, you will feel exhausted, even experiencing heart cramps and difficulty breathing. When you are not practicing Qigong, the toxins will continue to weaken, making you look no different from an ordinary person, but your complexion will never be as rosy as a normal person.
Plus, all these years you thought your symptoms were caused by internal injuries, so you never knew you were poisoned."
Xia Wanwan's words made King Jin's originally gloomy face even more stern, and at the same time, there was a bit of heartache and disappointment.
He is probably the only one in this world who wants his injuries to not heal, but also doesn't want him to die.
Xia Wanwan knew what he was thinking at the moment, but she didn't say it out loud. She knew very well what should be said and what should not be said.
She would not get involved in such a struggle for imperial power, nor did she want to get involved.
The King of Jin was also a wise ruler, and his reputation among the people was comparable to that of the King of Jin, so this matter was even more difficult to say.
"There's one last shot. This one will cause your heart to temporarily feel uncomfortable. Just bear with it for a moment. I'll force the toxin out and it'll be fine."
Xia Wanwan picked up the last golden needle and thought about the next reaction, so she informed him in advance.
"Ok!"
Prince Jin hummed with a unhappy look on his face.
After Xia Wanwan pierced the acupuncture point in the middle of his atrium, she came behind King Jin and immediately used her internal energy to quickly expel the toxins from his body.
"Pfft~"
After a moment, King Jin suddenly covered his chest in pain and sprayed a mouthful of black poison onto the ground.
