"I... I..."
Baili Jingxuan was momentarily speechless.
In fact, he wanted to say that he wanted to stay and accompany Song Wuji.
But he knew very well that if he said this, it would surely surprise Madam Song and Miss Song greatly.
And they would refuse his request.
After all... some things are not accepted by most people.
Baili Jingxuan slowly stood up, lowered his head, and said nothing.
But his reluctance to leave was still captured by Madam Song.
Madam Song's heart skipped a beat. She looked back at her son, who lay on the bed, his life hanging in the balance.
A thought, unwilling yet unavoidable, surfaced in her mind.
Madam Song swayed, her face ashen.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Song Yu'er quickly supported Madam Song as she was about to fall.
Madam Song's eyes were filled with anger. She pointed furiously at Baili Jingxuan, "You... you..."
Just then, Gu Qianying immediately walked over, "Madam Song, Young Master Baili needs to stay and help me."
Baili Jingxuan took a deep breath and looked gratefully at Gu Qianying.
"Divine Doctor Gu, I can stay. No outsiders are needed."
Madam Song bit her lower lip, trying her best to calm down.
Some things could not be dealt with now; her son's condition was the most important.
"Madam Song, your body is still in a weak state, and your illness is not suitable for overexertion. Furthermore, I need to leave a strong man to help me lift Young Master Song, remove his upper garments, as I need to administer acupuncture treatment."
"Young Master Song is a man. Madam Song and Miss Song staying here is not very appropriate."
As she spoke.
Gu Qianying tied a black cloth strip around her eyes and took out her set of silver needles.
Her actions conveyed to Madam Song that it was not suitable for a woman to stay here.
And although she was also a woman, she would cover her eyes when administering acupuncture.
This way, Madam Song would have no reason to continue staying.
"Then I will trouble Divine Doctor Gu."
Madam Song calmed her emotions.
As she left with Song Yu'er, she glanced at Baili Jingxuan several more times.
Madam Song and Song Yu'er did not go far, but waited in the outer hall for news of Gu Qianying's acupuncture treatment inside.
They also ate in the outer hall, and Madam Song did not move from her spot.
Thinking of her son's condition, Madam Song put down her chopsticks after only a few bites.
Instead, she urged her daughter, Song Yu'er, to eat more.
Her daughter had also been poisoned by that scoundrel Song Gang. She had heard Divine Doctor Gu say that this poison could only be resolved on the night of the full moon.
In the meantime, her daughter could not eat meat, animal offal, or some seafood, and could only eat plain white congee.
For this reason, she had just asked the small kitchen to make some delicious and light white congee for her daughter.
Song Yu'er was indeed hungry and ate several mouthfuls.
Madam Song looked at her with a pensive expression.
At this moment, Baili Jingxuan, who had been asked to stay, cupped his hands and bowed to Gu Qianying, "Divine Doctor Gu, thank you."
Hearing that there was no other movement inside, Gu Qianying removed the black cloth from her face.
Turning around, she looked at Baili Jingxuan. She remained silent.
Baili Jingxuan glanced at the object in Gu Qianying's hand, looking somewhat surprised and confused.
Sensing his thoughts, Gu Qianying got straight to the point, "To administer acupuncture to Brother Wuji, it is not necessary to remove his clothes. It is just that... to temporarily alleviate the toxins in his body, not only is acupuncture therapy needed, but also the method of feeding blood with blood is required to preserve his energy and allow him to hold on until we obtain the antidote."
"Madam Song and Miss Song are both women, belonging to Yin. Their blood is not suitable. Brother Jingxuan, you are tall and strong, and your body is free of any toxins. You can..."
Before Gu Qianying could finish speaking.
Baili Jingxuan, without any hesitation, directly used his sword to cut open his wrist.
Then, he walked towards the bed, sat beside Song Wuji, and held his bleeding wrist towards Song Wuji's mouth.
"Divine Doctor Gu, no need to say more. I understand. As long as his body's toxins can be temporarily alleviated, even if he needs all the blood from my body, I will give it."
The voice of a seven-foot man was rough, but seeing his earnest expression.
Gu Qianying was slightly surprised.
She did not linger and directly inserted silver needles into several acupuncture points on Song Wuji's head.
At the same time, as Baili Jingxuan fed him blood, Song Wuji, who was in a coma, actually opened his mouth.
The thick, bloody drops fell into his mouth.
One drop after another.
At this moment, Baili Jingxuan did not notice the tears flowing from the corner of Song Wuji's eyes.
Gu Qianying was focused on her acupuncture. After a moment, she removed the needles.
Seeing that Song Wuji's complexion had slightly improved, she turned her gaze to Baili Jingxuan and said, "It's done. That's enough."
After lowering his wrist, Baili Jingxuan used the sleeve of his other hand to wipe away the bloodstains around Song Wuji's mouth.
Gu Qianying put away the silver needles and paused. After Baili Jingxuan stood up, she extended her hand to take Song Wuji's pulse.
From the pulse, it could be seen that the toxins in Song Wuji's body were temporarily suppressed, but... it would not last long.
"From now on, he will mostly be in a comatose state. Although the toxins in his body have been temporarily suppressed, the antidote must be obtained and administered to completely detoxify him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Baili Jingxuan was about to turn and leave, "Look after him, I'll be right back."
"Brother Jingxuan, no!"
Gu Qianying swiftly stepped forward to block Baili Jingxuan's path.
Seeing his demeanor, she could guess where he was going.
"The Han manor is not a place you can storm as you please. If you go alone, let alone the antidote, whether you can return safely is still a question."
Baili Jingxuan gripped his sword tightly.
"But I can't just watch him..."
Baili Jingxuan did not want to finish his sentence, but Gu Qianying knew exactly what he wanted to say.
"No need to rush. Han Yue and the other two are in our hands. The Han family will definitely come. Brother Jingxuan, what you need to do now is to protect Brother Wuji well. Brother Jingxuan, have you not noticed that someone has been missing from the Song manor these past few days?"
"Missing someone?"
Baili Jingxuan looked confused.
Gu Qianying nodded, "Yes, someone is missing. This person is..."
"Song Panyang!"
Baili Jingxuan suddenly remembered someone.
Gu Qianying nodded, "That's right, it's him. He is not in the Song manor and has not appeared these past few days. If anything were to happen to Brother Wuji, the heir to the City Lord would be... him!"
A word of awakening.
Baili Jingxuan straightened his back, "Divine Doctor Gu, rest assured. From this moment on, I will guard here without leaving, and I will never let anyone harm him!"
This was Baili Jingxuan's promise.
Gu Qianying also believed he could keep it.
"Yes, good. Be careful with everything."
Gu Qianying greatly admired Baili Jingxuan's sense of responsibility.
As she walked out of the bedchamber, Madam Song and Song Yu'er simultaneously crowded around her, "Divine Doctor Gu, how is my son?"
Song Yu'er was also very worried about her brother, "Divine Doctor Gu, is my brother alright?"
Sensing the urgency in Madam Song and Song Yu'er's eyes, Gu Qianying did not waste any more words and directly said, "He is temporarily fine, you can rest assured."
"He's fine! That's great, my son."
Madam Song began to cry again.
Song Yu'er also dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief.
Just as Gu Qianying was about to inquire about the physical condition of Song Yu'er and Madam Song, two people walked in from outside the door.
Hand in hand, they walked towards her.
In the other hand, one of them carried a food basket.
Seeing these two people, a faint smile appeared on Gu Qianying's lips...
