Chapter 12: We Can Make a Deal

An Yueli's technique is good. After a slight sting, the cold liquid is delivered to the affected area, gently moisturizing and soothing the churning pain.

"How does it feel?"

Su Huaixiao had not yet recovered from the last round of pain, and his brows were still furrowed. But when he was about to speak, a strange numbness spread between his legs, covering up the annoying pain bit by bit.

Su Huaixiao's pupils shrank almost invisibly, feeling even more surprised.

It was not that he had never sought treatment from a doctor before. Even the imperial doctors in the palace had been summoned for consultation countless times. Those so-called holy hands had also applied acupuncture many times and pricked the entire leg into a hedgehog, but with little effect.

But An Yueli just pricked it briefly, and the dull pain was suppressed, without even using a stick of incense.

"It really works."

An Yueli slightly curled her lips when she heard this, not surprised.

"The effect of the medicine has just begun to be released now. It will achieve maximum pain relief in an hour. Please wait patiently, Your Majesty."

"Maximum limit? Isn't this level enough now?"

The methods used by doctors in the past could achieve less than one-tenth of the analgesic effect now. If An Yueli said it, wouldn't it be possible to completely offset the pain after the drug's effect is fully released?

"I have not examined the specific condition of Wangye's injury, so I cannot give a more precise treatment plan. But for local non-invasive injuries, closed therapy is the most effective."

An Yueli raised her head when she spoke, her palm-sized face was as white as fat, and her watery eyes were filled with a bright halo.

Because she woke up from her sleep, she was only wearing a white middle coat. Her slender neck was exposed under the slightly open collar, and there were a few thrilling finger marks on it.

Su Huaixiao's eyes were dark, and he gently twirled his fingers on the edge of the bed. He didn't know whether he regretted almost hurting the other person in his impulsiveness just now, or he was nostalgic for that delicate touch that exuded a light fragrance.

"How did you do it? I saw that you didn't follow the acupuncture method, so I just pricked it casually."

An Yueli couldn't explain the high-end science hundreds of years later to him, so he could only explain vaguely: "This is not a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, so there is no need to calibrate the acupuncture points. You can understand it as accurately delivering a medicinal solution similar to Ma Fei San."

A painful part of the body.”

As she spoke, she stood up and went to pour two cups of tea.

"Mafei San."

Su Huaixiao's doubts were unanswered, which made him even more confused. After all, in the past, when he saw other people using Ma Fei Powder, they boiled it directly into soup and drank it. After drinking it, the whole person would fall into a deep sleep and be unable to move.

But now, except for the fact that he has no feeling in his knees, he feels no abnormalities in other parts of his body, and his mind remains clear.

Could it be that An Yueli's medical skills are so superb that she can overwhelm the imperial physicians in the palace?

When he was puzzled, Su Huaixiao noticed the syringe placed beside the bed, and he subconsciously wanted to take it and study it.

"No!"

When An Yueli turned back with the tea cup, what she saw was this scene, and she immediately sternly stopped her.

Su Huaixiao's face, which had just calmed down, darkened again, "Why, is it that the things you use are poisonous and I can't see it?"

"Medical waste must be recycled and destroyed."

An Yueli put away the syringe with a serious expression and reflected on herself in her heart. She is now in a different world. The people here do not understand modern medicine, and there is no medical team to cooperate with her.

This time it was a used syringe, next time it may be waste that has been exposed to infectious diseases.

From now on, everything taken out of the medical space must be strictly kept and must not be allowed to be touched at will by others to avoid causing an irreversible situation.

An Yueli frowned, and Su Huaixiao's face didn't look good either.

The two stared at each other, but An Yueli finally broke the deadlock by serving tea.

"Your Majesty, if I guess correctly, your leg pain should occur from time to time, right?"

Su Huaixiao took the tea cup but did not drink it. Instead, he looked at her coldly.

"What do you want to say?"

"I was thinking maybe we could make a deal."

Thinking of what An Yueli said before going to bed, Su Huaixiao speculated: "You want to take revenge on Yue Shi and An Yurou? Yes, I will let people kill them."

"No, I want to go back to Duke Anguo's mansion."

A dangerous light burst out from Su Huaixiao's eyes, "You have married me and want to leave. You can only lie down and go out."

An Yueli said bluntly: "I don't want to separate from the prince, nor do I want to escape from Prince Xiao's Mansion. On the contrary, I need to return to Duke Anguo's Mansion as Princess Xiao."

When she said this, Su Huaixiao understood. He relaxed his body and leaned back on the cushion, not even realizing how nervous he was just now.

"It is unreasonable for a married person to return to her parents' home to live."

"The prince doesn't look like a pedantic and conservative person."

Su Huaixiao didn't answer, he quietly closed his eyes and thought, and tapped the edge of the bed with his fingers, making a loud sound.

Even though An Yueli was very confident, she was still uneasy because of his delay. Just when her patience was about to run out, Su Huaixiao finally relaxed.

"Okay, I can agree to your proposal. But from now on, whenever my leg hurts, you have to treat it like you do today."

“It’s a deal!”

An Yueli was overjoyed and immediately brought in pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

"What are you doing?"

"Draw up a contract."

Seeing her serious look, Su Huaixiao couldn't help but sneer.

"You are still afraid that I will regret it."

"Since it is cooperation, of course we must distinguish responsibilities and obligations. I can provide you with medical treatment, but you must also ensure my personal safety.

During the contract, we are allies, not husband and wife. I will cooperate with you in your drama in front of outsiders, but in private we must keep a distance."

Su Huaixiao's face showed displeasure and his voice dropped an octave.

"You still want to regret your marriage."

"Your Majesty, if you really want to find a princess based on your conditions, you can naturally choose the one you like. But now the emperor has granted marriage. Our marriage is a blind marriage, which is unfair to both parties.

In this case, it’s better for everyone to keep things simple and maintain a purely cooperative relationship. What do you think?”

Su Huaixiao tightened her lips and didn't respond for a long time, just staring at the other person with her eyes.

There was obviously no unnecessary expression on her face, but An Yueli could see a bit of gnashing of teeth.

"Your Majesty?"

"That's fine." Su Huaixiao waved his hand and snatched the drafted contract directly, "With your qualifications, you are not worthy of me. Being able to allow you to survive tonight is already a gift. Besides, I am the king."

I've never liked wedding arrangements, and if I kill you, the emperor might choose someone worse next time."

He wrote his name gracefully and threw the pen and paper back into An Yueli's arms.

"Step back, I want to rest."
