His Rui

Everyone was looking at Li Rui's every action which made Xi Ying very uncomfortable.

He walked forward and stood in front of her hiding her from everyone's eyes completely. His cold blue eyes glanced at those who were still trying to look behind him and those people immediately lowered down their heads.

Now only the Imperial family members were standing around him and Li Rui.

Satisfied, he turned around to look at his wife and saw her taking some needles out from her sleeves.

For a moment, an incredulous expression surfaced in Xi Ying's eyes. Just how many things she was hiding in her sleeves.

He knew that there was a dagger there also.

But the next moment he couldn't help but frown.. It could also poke her inside her sleeves.

But his attention wandered away when he saw Imperial Physician Xu's wide eyes which made him confused.

He looked down again only to see Li Rui penetrating a needle in Zhao Bo Jin's head very easily.

Acupuncture…

He had read about it in some books but it was rare to come across a physician who knows acupuncture.

His eyes flickered and his fists clenched.

Only then did Xi Ying understood why General Li was not allowing Li Rui to treat Zhao Bo Jin.

For a moment, even he thought of taking Li Rui away but looking at her concentrated face…he couldn't bear to move his hands or mouth and ask her to get up.

In the end, he remained silent.

He glanced at the shocked Imperial Physician Xu and signed him to shut his mouth seeing that he was about to say anything.

Imperial Physician Xu remained silent but he looked at the Emperor who was allowing such a thing.

But the Emperor was only looking at Li Ru's every action very closely.

Imperial Physician Xu's eyes were filled with anxiousness.

'Shouldn't His Majesty ask this young lady once if she really knew acupuncture or not?'

It was not only Imperial Physician Xu but Zhao Zhuang Chen and Qin Wenya also had a tense faces. They glared at Yun Weilan who was standing by Li Rui's side silently with no expression on her face.

All this didn't affect Li Rui. She silently continued whatever she was doing.

After taking the pulse, she had asked Yun Weilan to uncover Zhao Bo Jin's torso. First head and then she penetrated the young child's torso at many places.

Her actions were swift and experienced which only made Yun Weilan believe her more.

Even Imperial Physician Xu was now looking at Li Rui with a complex gaze while rubbing his white beard.

Fifteen minutes passed like this and nothing happened.

"Unbelievable…"

The old physician murmured suddenly with wide eyes when in the next few moments he saw the Young Prince's bluish face going white.

Li Rui was just messaging some parts of the Young Prince.

He saw how in a few moments, the little Princes' whole body gained its original color except his hand.

"This…"

He stepped forward to see the next procedure more closely but his collar was suddenly grabbed and he was dragged at the same spot back.

Raising his head, the old Physician Xu saw the cold Prime Minister and smiled sheepishly.

Standing in the same place, blocking everyone's gaze on Li Rui, Xi Ying didn't let anyone get closer to Li Rui as she completed the whole procedure silently.

He saw her turning around suddenly and looking at him.

"Do you have a knife?"

Her words were direct and she was looking at him seriously.

Xi Ying gave her his dagger and couldn't help but praise her inside his heart. She remembered that she can't take out her knife in front of everyone like this so she asked him for it. And he was more than happy to help her.

He saw her cutting Zhao Bo Jin's finger flesh a little and suddenly a stream of black blood flowed out from the cut finger.

Xi Ying heard a muffled scream and moved his eyes to Yun Weilan. She has covered her mouth and was trying to suppress her scream on seeing her son's blood. She looked at Li Rui who didn't seem to be fazed by this and hence remained silent.

Since she didn't obstruct Li Rui, he moved his eyes away from her to his wife who was now taking out the needles from the Prince's body.

Taking them out, she put them inside her sleeves.

She turned her head to look at Imperial Physician Xu and said

"Li Rui requests from Physician Xu to provide some herbs to put on Prince's cut flesh."

The next moment, her waist was suddenly grabbed and her body was gently lifted up.

Li Rui was startled but she found the scent invading her nostrils familiar so she didn't struggle.

"Physician Xi will do it by himself."

The next moment she was turned around and a pair of distressed and concern-filled eyes came into her sight.

Xi Ying took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat on Li Rui's forehead gently.

"Are you tired?"

It has been half an hour since she had been kneeling in the same position. She must be tired.

Li Rui was about to reply when she heard Yun Weilan asking her.

"Lady Li, what about my son? How is he…"

She immediately turned around and said to Yun Weilan calmly.

"The Prince is alright, Your Highness, and will wake up in an hour. Please make the Prince eat some nutritious food for the next few weeks. Also, Li Rui has a prescription that can make Prince's body resist the effects left by the poison if there will be any. If you allow Li Rui…"

"Yes, Yes…"

Yun Weilan agreed immediately. She was very happy hearing Li Rui's words. Seeing that her son's face looked only a little pale and he just seemed to be sleeping peacefully…she believed Li Rui's words.

"Lady Li, this is where you can write the prescription."

Imperial Physician Xu was immediately on Li Rui's side with a rice paper and brush in his hands that no one knew from where he brought suddenly.

His eyes had an admiration and worship as he looked at Li Rui.

Li Rui didn't notice Physician Xu's changed behavior. She took the brush from the physician's hands. Imperial Physician Xu held the bottle of ink in her hands for her as he looked down at everything she wrote.

"Stay away."

He heard the cold voice and instantly stepped back looking at Xi Ying's cold face with a sheepish smile.

While Li Rui wrote the prescription and gave it to Imperial Physician Xu.
