Chapter 190: Treatment With Acupuncture

Qiao Xi's ears were red, and she looked embarrassed. She could only hide her thoughts with a smile. President, don't think too much. I'm here to treat your illness.

Gu Zheng chuckled and lowered his eyes. Mrs. Gu, there's no need.

Qiao Xi's face instantly sank. Gu Zheng, you go blind at night because you were poisoned!

Gu Zheng had a calm expression and was not surprised at all. I know.

Qiao Xi was surprised. You actually know? Then you

Gu Zheng's eyes were cold. This poison is incurable, so acupuncture is useless.

He looked at the needles with a dark expression. So there's no need.

When he knew that he was poisoned, he had already foreseen the future. Hence, he did not even struggle anymore.

Qiao Xi's heart trembled. She seemed to find Gu Zheng a little unfamiliar at this moment. His eyes were filled with desolation and indifference as if his blindness had nothing to do with him.

She was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

The man turned around, and his gaze landed on her.

Qiao Xi pouted. Gu Zheng, we're married now. If you lose your eyesight, it'll be too much trouble for me!

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Qiao Xi had an aggrieved expression. I'm such a weak woman, so you won't be able to protect me anymore after that. You still have so many enemies. At that time, they'll definitely make a move on me!

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked away. His voice carried a hint of helplessness as he said, I'll take my clothes off. You can treat me.

Qiao Xi only pretended to be weak in order to treat his illness. Although her treatment would most likely be useless, he could not bear to see Qiao Xi sad.

It was just acupuncture. She could do it as long as she was happy.

Qiao Xi took off Gu Zheng's pajamas, causing her pupils to constrict. It was because his back was full of injuries, ranging from old to new.

There were whip marks and traces of acupuncture, causing Qiao Xi's heart to ache.

He must have already sought treatment but it was useless. That was why he had given up.

Her heart constricted, and Qiao Xi felt the pain sweep through her entire body.

Gu Zheng

It turned out that the all-powerful Gu Zheng, the head of the Gu family who was admired by countless people, and the man who stood at the top of the pyramid had experienced endless pain. Perhaps no one knew about this.

Qiao Xi forced herself to calm down. She held the silver needle in her hand and slowly stabbed it into his skin.

An hour later, the acupuncture session ended. Gu Zheng's forehead was covered in sweat, and his eyes were closed. His breathing was heavy.

Qiao Xi put away the acupuncture bag and said with a gentle tone, I studied the medical books yesterday and planted medicinal herbs in the backyard. In the future, you'll have to drink medicine every day. It'll be helpful.

Those were not ordinary herbs but wondrous herbs left to her by Grandpa. Although they could not completely cure the poison, they could at least suppress the effects of the poison. They were also very effective on the eyes.

Gu Zheng had seen her plant something in the courtyard before. It turned out to be herbs for treating illnesses. He nodded. I'll tell the butler.

Young Madam! Young Madam!

The butler's footsteps were messy as he rushed in while looking anxious. Madam Meng and Miss Meng are here. Their car drove straight into the backyard. Those herbs are all

Qiao Xi's expression was calm as she indifferently put away the acupuncture bag, but she still held a needle in her hand.

Her expression was cold. Meng Wan ruined the herbs she used to treat Gu Zheng's illness?

Medicines were hard to come by. She finally managed to keep some seeds and they were about to be used as medicine. However, the herbs were all destroyed by Meng Wan?

Where's Meng Wan? asked Qiao Xi.

I saw them destroy your herbs, so I sent someone to stop them and hurried over to report to you. They're still in the backyard, but those herbs are probably destroyed

The butler's heart trembled when he saw Qiao Xi's expression turning colder and colder. Young Madam, calm down. You can replant the herbs but it's against the law to kill!

Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly. Did I say I wanted to kill someone?

The butler: 'Your gaze tells me that you want to kill someone right now.'

Qiao Xi handed the acupuncture bag to the butler. I'll go take a look. Gu Zheng, go rest.

After she finished speaking, Qiao Xi turned around and left. The butler instructed the servants to put away the things and hurriedly followed Qiao Xi to the backyard.

The bedroom was silent.

Song Shiyu walked in, looking worried. President, you don't look too good. Why didn't you tell Young Madam?

The poison in the president's body was no ordinary poison. Acupuncture could not treat this, and it would only speed up the relapse.

Only the divine physician or his descendants could suppress the relapse of the poison with their unique acupuncture technique.

Gu Zheng's expression was calm as he slowly put on his pajamas. It doesn't matter if I'm treated or not. The poison will flare up sooner or later.

Song Shiyu frowned. But

Don't let her know. Gu Zheng closed his eyes tiredly. She thinks there's still hope. At least, she can be happier this way.

Qiao Xi was worried for him, and he was already very satisfied with her acupuncture treatment. In any case, he could not keep his eyes anymore.
