Xu Fu didn't believe Su Muqing, but he believed the Zhou family wouldn't harm their young master. Now even Doctor Yang had no solution. Perhaps they should let her try? But what if...!
"If it gets into the windpipe, acupuncture is useless." Su Muqing saw the hesitation on Xu Fu's face. She reached out and took the bowl, preparing to rinse Huo Qiyuan's mouth first.
Suddenly! She cried out, "Ah! Why is it so hot?" She quickly placed the bowl on the worn-out bed. Looking down! Oh no! Her hand was already turning red from the heat!
Su Muqing was astonished! Were they trying to scald the handsome man to death? "He was already choked! How can he drink such hot water? This will only make him more uncomfortable. And it will scald him." What she didn't say was that it wouldn't just scald him, it might very well kill him!
Seeing the handsome man's condition worsening! She couldn't wait for the water. It was better to clear the foreign object from his windpipe first, then rinse his mouth!
"I need someone to help! You'll do..." Su Muqing casually pointed to the third dark guard, who appeared the strongest among them.
The third guard saw that Xu Fu didn't stop her, so he naturally let her guide him.
"Hold him. Lower his head." Su Muqing adjusted Huo Qiyuan's position while squatting down to communicate with him. "In a moment, I'll pat the upper part of your back, and you need to cough hard, understand? If you understand, blink your eyes!" Huo Qiyuan, enduring the discomfort, blinked his eyes as she instructed.
Su Muqing originally intended for the third guard to do the patting. But looking at his huge, palm-like hands! She decided against it! She was afraid he might accidentally send the handsome man to the afterlife with one pat!
Once everything was in place, she gauged the right force and patted Huo Qiyuan's back. With a "pat!" a dark, palm-like print appeared... Ignore it, ignore it! Saving him was the priority!
Huo Qiyuan was also very cooperative. He coughed whenever she patted him.
Finally! Just as Huo Qiyuan was about to cough himself red in the face, and Xu Fu was about to shout for them to stop.
A "crack" sound came from Huo Qiyuan's mouth. Then, a small lump of red, fiery fruit pulp fell to the ground.
Su Muqing wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief! "Phew~ It's finally out!"
"Th...thank you..." Huo Qiyuan also felt his breathing much smoother! He even managed to speak his thanks, though his words were still slurred.
Su Muqing, sweating profusely, casually wiped her forehead with her hand! Smearing a whole forehead of dark chocolate. Oblivious, she smiled brightly and said, "It's nothing! It's good that it's out! You'll be fine after drinking some cool water!"
Huo Qiyuan, perhaps from expending too much energy, collapsed into the third guard's arms as soon as Su Muqing finished speaking. He looked completely drained of strength, on the verge of losing consciousness.
Xu Fu quickly went to help lay him down. Doctor Yang didn't dare to delay and continued to mash the fiery fruit.
Now he was unsure whether they should continue feeding him. After all, the young master's appearance just now was truly terrifying. He had almost been poisoned to death by the fiery fruit!
It was fortunate that this young girl was here today. When the young master had to take it before, he had taken up to three pills on the busiest days, and never once had it been like today. What a stroke of luck!
Doctor Yang walked to the bedside with the mashed fiery fruit and looked at Xu Fu for his decision. Huo Qiyuan struggled to blink his eyes, appearing as if he wanted to continue eating.
Xu Fu truly couldn't bear to feed him anymore. But if they didn't feed him today, they didn't know when the young master would wake up next. If he could stay conscious for a while longer, they could analyze that poem together.
Previously, the young master's entire focus had been on the deceased prince and princess. But now, his poison could no longer be delayed. They still needed to find that person as soon as possible to help the young master detoxify!
Xu Fu hardened his heart and uttered one word through gritted teeth, "Feed!"
A hint of a smile appeared in Huo Qiyuan's half-closed eyes. Fortunately, Uncle Xu understood his intention. He himself could clearly feel that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to wake up lately!
If this time... he still had some things left unsaid! Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't pass out now!
After Xu Fu spoke, he stepped forward to pinch Huo Qiyuan's mouth. Doctor Yang, with trembling hands, prepared to feed the spoon into his mouth.
"What are you doing? He finally managed to ease up a little. Feeding him like this will make him choke to death!" Su Muqing couldn't understand their actions.
Hadn't they just helped him breathe easier? Why were they feeding him again? Wasn't this intentionally tormenting him?
But looking closely at the expressions on everyone's faces, they were filled with genuine heartache and sorrow.
If that was the case! Why were they continuously feeding him the fiery fruit? Did people in ancient times enjoy playing like this?
