"Master, the detoxification process may be a bit painful; you will need to endure it," Gu Qingning said softly.
That night, after returning home, Gu Qingning dismissed everyone around her, ignoring the dark circles under her eyes. She rushed into the pharmacy with Silver Sand, searching for suitable medicines for the Master.
After a night of hard work from the two of them, their efforts were rewarded. Gu Qingning finally found a way to treat the Master along with the corresponding medicines.
"It's nothing; I just feel sorry for troubling you," the Master said, holding Gu Qingning's hand with a hint of embarrassment.
Gu Qingning always felt that the Master was overly polite to her, mixed with an indescribable sense of care.
"I am merely fulfilling my duty as a healer; there is no need for you to take it to heart," Gu Qingning replied. She was curious about where this feeling came from and tried to search her memories but found no connection regarding the Master.
In her previous life, she had only heard that the Master had suddenly fallen ill and passed away, with no details known about the circumstances surrounding it.
Could it be that she treated her differently simply because she liked Pei Zhijing, her nephew? Was it a case of loving the house and its crows?
Princess Ning and Pei Zhijing had already left the inner chamber. Gu Qingning temporarily set aside her doubts and focused on pulling out silver needles. After sterilizing them over fire, she began to apply them to various acupoints on the Master's body.
As Gu Qingning's speed in placing the needles increased, the Master's expression shifted from a slight frown to beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead, eventually succumbing to pain and drifting into unconsciousness.
Glancing at the sleeping Master, Gu Qingning opened the door and spoke to Pei Zhijing and Princess Ning, who were waiting anxiously in the courtyard: "Let the Master sleep well; I will rest for a bit."
Seeing Gu Qingning finally emerge, an anxious Princess Ning hurriedly approached and asked, "Sister Qingning, how is she?"
"After this acupuncture session, the Master should be able to sleep well from now on," Gu Qingning replied as she sat down beside Pei Zhijing, feeling exhausted.
Pei Zhijing remained silent but turned to glance at Gu Qingning. He poured a cup of tea and quietly pushed it toward her.
Gu Qingning, parched and desperate for a drink, didn't notice Pei Zhijing's subtle gesture. She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.
Noticing that Gu Qingning's cup was empty again, Pei Zhijing poured another cup for her.
Having not done acupuncture for too long, Gu Qingning was extremely tired and only wanted to rest without paying attention to anyone else around her.
The seamless interaction between them left Bai Zhi wide-eyed in astonishment as she stood frozen in place.
The excitement in Feng Blade and Golden Sand's eyes was evident; their master had indeed been planning this for a long time!
With a heart finally at ease after hearing Gu Qingning's affirmative response, Princess Ning relaxed her tense demeanor.
She glanced at Gu Qingning and then at Pei Zhiqing, finally noticing the tension between the two.
With a calm demeanor, she raised her hand to signal Bai Zhi, Jin Sha, and Feng Ren to quietly step back.
Bai Zhi and Feng Ren shot angry glares but were forcibly pulled away.
At that moment, Gu Qingning had buried her head in her arms, resting on the table with her eyes closed, completely oblivious as she fell asleep.
