Chapter 391
The harsh tone of the Little Taoist at the moment was no lie— Xie Xuanchen’s pulse at the moment could be described as him being in a very dangerous position. The Little Taoist knew that this treatment method was as if they were attempting a tightrope walk on a cliff, so he had been very careful in controlling the dosage. Hence, a sudden increase in the dosage was extremely risky.
However, the Little Taoist also knew that Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were not the type of people who would risk their lives recklessly. Looking at the way the duo didn’t want to talk about the subject at the moment, the Little Taoist gave things some thought for a moment. Then, he remembered that today was the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which resulted in Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen going to the palace for a banquet.
The Little Taoist let out a soft ‘oh’ and didn’t dare to ask any more questions. He changed his posture to check Xie Xuanchen’s pulse again, scribbling on the straw paper while making the diagnosis.
Mu Mingtang asked cautiously, “LIttle Taoist, how is he doing now?”
“It’s very dangerous, but it’s not without benefits since he survived it,” The Little Taoist said, “I have never dared to take the risks, which is why I’m very careful every time I increase the dosage. With the amount I ascertain for you, the treatment would take quite a long time to complete and the effects of it aren’t necessarily the best. Now that the dosage has been increased so suddenly, I know how much he can tolerate, so I will adjust the amount I give in the future.”
Speaking of this, the Little Taoist sighed sincerely, “I have never dared to try it, but who would have thought that the dosage would be increased this much at one go. The people on your side are ruthless indeed.”
After saying this, neither Mu Mingtang nor Xie Xuanchen wanted to respond. They wouldn’t be able to help it if it was done by outsiders, but for a family member to take the knife and mercilessly stab it through their heart to ensure their deaths was no laughing matter.
However, although the words of the Little Taoistare were not pleasant, the turning point he revealed earlier was still very useful. The Emperor’s move was extremely vicious, but that mistake also accelerated Xie Xuanchen’s detoxification.
At least, this dose of Wu Yufei would henceforth have little effect on Xie Xuanchen.
The Little Taoist made bold and swift strokes with his brush, writing down several prescriptions. Once he knew how to treat him, the rest would be much easier.
The Little Taoist Priest was sure that this unique detoxification method was effective. Judging from the present, it was successful in general. All that’s left after that was to initiate medical conditioning and continuous consolidation on the patient’s condition.
After the Little Taoist finished prescribing the medicine, he gave a few more instructions before patting his sleeves and going back. Before the Little Taoist priest was about to go out, Xie Xuanchen had a rare spurt of conscience and reminded him, “These few days, you should pay more attention to yourself and don’t walk around at night.”
“Hmm?”
“Although it’s too late for them to act, there’s no guarantee, so just in case.”
