Chapter 98: Offering oneself in return?

On the third day,

Pei Xiao stood directly beside the wheelchair, watching Wu Liang treat Pei Chang'an.

The changes over the past two days have been enough to move him.

pain.

numb.

These two words were extremely precious to Pei Chang'an.

Pei Xiao waited for twenty years and finally saw a glimmer of light.

Wu Liang could naturally see it.

So he performed even more earnestly that day.

First, Pei Chang'an was given a warming pill, then the plaster prepared yesterday was applied externally. Afterwards, a small medicine stove was brought over, and the medicinal vapors slowly wafted from the copper tubes towards Pei Chang'an's legs.

Pei Hongye stood to the side, somewhat surprised.

"Did you come up with all these treatment methods yourself?"

As Wu Liang adjusted the needles, he said, "It's an ancestral technique."

Pei Hongye was suspicious.

"Weren't your ancestors the physicians of Guyu City?"

"yes."

Wu Liang said in a serious tone, "Our doctors in Guyu City have a profound background."

Pei Hongye ignored him.

Treatment begins.

Today, Wu Liang is going to open a blocked acupoint on Pei Chang'an's right foot. This place is very narrow, so it's very dangerous. If it can't be opened, the effects of the medicine from the past two days will only stay near the instep and won't be able to truly stimulate the toes.

If the rush is too intense, it can easily cause the cold poison to backfire.

Wu Liang appeared solemn on the surface, but remained calm inside.

With the Divine Illumination Scripture at his disposal, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he can mend it little by little, like sewing up tattered cloth.

Insert the silver needle into the acupoint.

Pei Chang'an's face quickly turned pale.

This time, it wasn't just pain and numbness.

There was also a soreness, as if something had been forcibly pried open, and his fingers pressed against the handrail.

Pei Xiao said in a low voice, "If you can't hold on, call a halt."

Pei Chang'an shook his head, his voice strained.

"It's okay, continue."

Wu Liang glanced at him.

This young master's character is indeed extraordinary. He is patient and ruthless.

He whispered, "Your Highness, if we can get through this today, the past two days will not have been in vain."

Pei Chang'an closed his eyes.

"continue."

Wu Liang stopped talking nonsense.

The inner force of the Longevity Technique slowly flowed in, and the life-giving threads formed by the Divine Illumination Scripture gradually penetrated into the blocked acupoints.

In that instant, Pei Chang'an's legs trembled violently.

The movement was not large; it was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.

But Pei Xiao saw it.

Pei Hongye saw it too.

Pei Chang'an himself looked down at his right foot.

next moment.

His right big toe twitched slightly.

It's very light.

Like a blade of grass swaying in the wind.

But this caused the entire side hall to fall into a deathly silence.

Pei Hongye cried out in disbelief, her face beaming with joy: "It moved! It moved!!"

Pei Xiao suddenly stood up straight.

Chen Qingdi's pupils also contracted slightly, his expression somewhat complicated, but it was fleeting.

Pei Chang'an lowered his head and looked at his feet.

He remained silent for a long time.

This movement is insignificant to others.

For him, it was like a sliver of heaven opening up.

Wu Liang slowly removed the needles.

This time, he acted even more convincingly.

His face was pale, his forehead was sweating, and even his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

He leaned back in his chair, took a few breaths, and his smile seemed a little weak.

"Three days."

"Pain, numbness, movement."

"Your Highness, now you believe I wasn't just bragging, right?"

Pei Xiao looked at him without saying a word for a long time.

Wu Liang struck while the iron was hot.

"I want to see Jiang Qingluan."

Pei Hongye immediately frowned.

"Wu Liang, don't push your luck."

Wu Liang didn't even look at her, only at Pei Xiao.

"Your Highness, the young master's leg cannot be healed in a day."

"I need to live, and I also need to be in a good mood and have no worries."

"Seeing her makes me feel at ease and my hands steady, which makes the treatment more effective."

Pei Xiao frowned and looked at him coldly.

Are you threatening me?

Wu Liang shook his head.

"It's not a threat."

"This is the doctor's order."

Pei Hongye almost laughed in anger.

Doctor's orders?

That bastard is really good with words.

Pei Xiao stared at Wu Liang.

After a long while, he finally spoke.

"Half an hour."

Wu Liang smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Your Highness is wise."

Pei Xiao said coldly, "Wait for the summons."

Wu Liang felt a sense of relief.

Finally, I get to see that little vixen!

……

Pei Changge came again in the afternoon.

This time, she didn't immediately go crazy after entering the room.

She heard that Pei Chang'an's toes had twitched, and he seemed noticeably different. Standing at the door, she looked at Wu Liang with a complex expression.

"Did Chang'an's foot really move?"

Wu Liang is writing a prescription.

He didn't even look up when he heard that.

"real."

Pei Changge took a few steps closer.

"Can he really stand up again?"

"able."

"how long?"

"It depends on whether your father provides enough medicine, whether the young master can tolerate it, and whether I'm in a good mood."

Pei Changge stared at him.

After a long while, she suddenly smiled.

"Wu Liang, you really are a monster."

Wu Liang looked up.

"Praise me?"

"I guess so."

Pei Changge walked up to him, pointed her finger at the prescription, and spoke softly.

"You ruined Chang'an's wedding for Jiang Qingluan."

"Now we need to heal Chang'an's leg."

"Are you here to harm the Pei family, or to help the Pei family?"

Wu Liang thought for a moment.

"Neither."

"I'm here to take Jiang Qingluan away."

Pei Changge's expression darkened slightly.

She knew it.

Hearing him speak so frankly still stung me for some reason.

Her smile grew even colder.

"You really are a man of deep affection and loyalty."

"If Jiang Qingluan knew that you've been under house arrest these past few days, yet you've still been spending your days with me, a married woman, I wonder if you'd be moved?"

Wu Liang put down his pen and looked up at her.

"Do you want to get beaten up again today?"

Pei Changge's eyes lit up for a moment.

She knew perfectly well that those words would enrage him, but she said them anyway.

She took a step closer and whispered, "Wu Liang, do you dare tell her?"

Wu Liang stood up.

Pei Changge didn't back down; instead, she raised her face to look at him. Her eyes were both mad and alluring, with a hint of self-destructive provocation.

Come on.

She whispered, "Anyway, you only dare to take your anger out on me now."

Wu Liang grabbed her waist.

"You really need to be taught a lesson."

Pei Changge smiled.

"You're only finding out now?"

This time, she didn't curse as fiercely as before, as if she already knew the outcome, or as if she deliberately came for this outcome.

The red dress in the house is half off.

The bamboo shadows outside the window swayed slightly.

All sounds were suppressed by low breaths.

After a long while, Pei Changge leaned against Wu Liang's chest, her hair disheveled and her eyes still bearing traces of tears.

She suddenly whispered, "Wu Liang."
