His Rui

Chapter 653 The Treatment About To Start

He didn’t know what he should think about Lu Jianye because love was perhaps like this. 

You could love anything in anyone and then you could ignore all their faults. 

After all, love was unconditional. 

Did he not love Rui when she was scheming in his eyes? He had because if it had been any other woman, he would have thrown her out of his manor. 

Perhaps Lu Jianye’s love was also like this. Unconditional and unlimited. 

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the power to continue his love story. 

Because he would never let Zhao Wang Lei reduce Li Na’s sentence. And sure enough, An Si told him that Lu Jianye was dragged out of the Imperial Study room by the Imperial Guards.

She was destined to spend the rest of her life in that four walls of dark dungeons.   

————————-

Xi Ying told Li Rui about whatever An Si told him after going back to the tent. 

Li Rui merely nodded her head. She didn’t have any thoughts on these things. 

After Xi Ling came, she changed his clothes and then the three of them went to sleep. 

The next morning, after having breakfast, she gathered all the six physicians inside the old master’s tent.     

Almost all of them except the old physician looked at the old master with curiosity while the old physician just had a very somber face.

”Girl, are you going to treat this person?”

When Li Rui said ‘yes’ the old physician questioned immediately what kind of disease the old master had. 

However, after hearing Li Rui’s description, the old master frowned deeply while other physicians were also looking at the old master with wide eyes. In their eyes, the old master still breathing was already a miracle. Indeed, they only knew the basics of the medicines but that was the only thing Li Rui needed.

They turned to look at the old physician when they heard him asking Li Rui

”Is there any cure for such a situation?” 

The old physician had actually faced one such situation. However, at that time he didn’t and couldn’t find any cure, and hence the soldier had died in front of his eyes. Even his master had been unable to cure that soldier. 

So he couldn’t help but feel curious when Li Rui said that she was going to treat him. However, before she could say anything, he continued speaking

”We don’t have any way to bring the poison out of his body. Any kind of herb would not work because the part of his body that should be responding to the medicine and helping in bringing it out has already stopped working. He is completely paralyzed.”

Li Rui nodded her head agreeing with his words and the old physician’s frown went deeper. However, his eyes widened suddenly and he suddenly screamed out loudly.

”Acupuncture…are you going to use acupuncture on him?”

The old physician’s body was trembling with excitement. Even his finger he had pointed towards the unconscious old master was trembling. 

Now the other five physicians also looked shocked and surprised after hearing the old physicians’ words. 

One had to know that the word acupuncture …they have heard in only legends. 

In fact, a few of them believed that some kind of farce was going on in front of them. 

How could anyone perform acupuncture in today’s world! However, no one dared to say it out aloud. They were aware of the power of the person because of whom order they had been brought here.

So they could just keep their thoughts to themselves.           

”Yes”

Li Rui’s one yes made the old physician scream in joy again. 

It was only when he heard a cold voice saying ‘don’t scream’, that he stopped. He looked towards Gu Li who don’t know when had stepped inside the tent. 

The old master didn’t like the way Gu Li talked to him. It was one thing that Xi Ying could talk to him arrogantly but others could not do the same. He also had some self-respect.

After all, once he used to be an Imperial Physician.   

So he opened his mouth to fight with Gu Li.

”Why should I not scream? Who are you to stop me?”

He asked Gu Li with narrowed eyes. 

Gu Li looked at him with a bored expression on his face and asked Li Rui.

”You need five right? One is extra. Should I kill him?”

The old physician’s breath got stuck in his throat when he saw Gu Li bringing his sword out. 

”Y…you ca..an’t…girl stop him.”

The old physician stepped backward with fear-filled eyes when he saw that Gu Li was indeed moving towards him with the sword in his hand. Li Rui sighed and decided to divert Gu Li’s attention. 

”Senior Brother…”

Gu Li stopped walking and immediately looked toward her. 

”I need someone …anyone to tell them what all they need to help me in.”

Li Rui said indicating to the six physicians. Sure enough, Gu Li’s attention was completely diverted and he immediately nodded his head and said 

”I will arrange that for you.”

Saying this, he left the tent and the old physicians heaved a sigh of relief immediately. 

Li Rui silently followed Gu Li out of the tent. She saw that he was gathering his shadow guards.

”What do you want them to do?”

Gu Li asked her and Li Rui told 

”I need only one person. I will show the physicians how I would be treating the Master and what they need to do when I will not be present inside the tent.” 

Gu Li’s eyes flickered with realization and he understood that she needed a body to do the experiment. Xi Ying also saw the huge crowd and stepped out of the tent. When he heard Li Rui’s words, he was about to say something but Gu Li spoke before him.

”Then I can become that person.”

However, he had just finished his words, when his shadow guards spoke ‘no’ in a chorus.
