My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage

Chapter 155: Chapter 156: Slap in the Face

"Give me your hand," Chu Nanli extended her own hand.

Ye Jiuxiao thought that Chu Nanli was probably going to take his pulse, and with an expressionless face, he placed his hand in hers, his ear tips quietly turning red.

Ye Jiuxiao’s hand was very attractive, with long, slender fingers that were as pale and translucent as jade, like a work of art.

For the first time, Chu Nanli felt reluctant to proceed.

After a moment of hesitation, she still wrapped an elastic band around his arm and began to search for a vein.

"This might hurt a bit," Chu Nanli said.

Before Ye Jiuxiao could react, Chu Nanli had already inserted the needle into his vein, causing his complexion to immediately turn dark.

"Did I hurt you?" Chu Nanli asked with concern.

"It’s nothing, I am just not accustomed to it," he replied.

"You’ll get used to it soon and then you won’t feel anything. Infusing the solution while taking a medicinal bath will help promote detoxification," Chu Nanli explained.

Ye Jiuxiao nodded slightly in agreement.

Although it was the first time he had heard of an infusion, Ye Jiuxiao guessed it involved administering the detoxification medicine directly into the bloodstream through the veins.

It was not surprising that Chu Nanli had such an ingenious idea.

However, whether it would be effective or not was uncertain, given how long the Cold Poison had been accumulating in his system...

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Jiuxiao felt impurities begin to drain from his body, the water gradually turning black.

"Some of the toxins are being forced out!"

Chu Nanli quickly ordered someone to change the water for Ye Jiuxiao, as the water tainted with poison could not be used for even a moment longer.

Due to the abundant accumulated toxins in Ye Jiuxiao, the water had to be changed several times, and each time the discarded water was turbid and dirty.

Physician Lin, who had been waiting outside and refused to leave, saw the buckets of black water being poured out and his expression grew complicated.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the poison being expelled by the Prince.

Had Chu Nanli really succeeded?

He found it unbelievable, the prescription was so ordinary; could Chu Nanli really have succeeded?

What Physician Lin didn’t know was that what really helped Ye Jiuxiao detoxify was the solution being infused into him.

Having Ye Jiuxiao take the medicinal bath served mainly to open his pores so that some of the toxins could be sweated out.

But that was only part of it.

The poison in Ye Jiuxiao could not be cured in just a moment.

About an hour later, all of the solution had been infused into Ye Jiuxiao.

Chu Nanli was so tired that she simply sat down on a chair and fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Jiuxiao looked at the sleeping Chu Nanli beside him, his phoenix eyes filled with a complex emotion.

Even though she was pregnant and had not yet fully recovered, she had hurried over to detoxify him and had watched over him for more than an hour.

Ye Jiuxiao put on his robe, picked up Chu Nanli, and slowly placed her on the bed.

The sleeping Chu Nanli was quiet and well-behaved, with her delicate nose, rosy lips, and long eyelashes like little fans, she was unspeakably beautiful.

Ye Jiuxiao’s gaze deepened, then he turned and left his own room.

Outside the door, Physician Lin had already been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that Ye Jiuxiao’s complexion had improved, Physician Lin grew even more curious about the method Chu Nanli had used.

"Prince, do you feel better now?" he inquired.

"Yes," Ye Jiuxiao replied indifferently.

Physician Lin felt as if his face had been slapped painfully upon hearing Ye Jiuxiao’s affirmative answer.

What had he said earlier?

Hadn’t he claimed that Chu Nanli was arrogant and her skills were not refined?

Now it seemed that he had been blind to the obvious, unable to recognize a great mountain while standing at its foot!

"Prince, how did the War God Princess Consort treat you?" Physician Lin was genuinely curious about what Chu Nanli had done to quickly draw out so much of Ye Jiuxiao’s poison.

Thinking about the need to keep Chu Nanli’s secret, Ye Jiuxiao said indifferently, "If you want to know, ask Chu Nanli yourself."

Physician Lin was momentarily speechless, considering the way he had treated her earlier, would she even tell him?

Regardless, once Chu Nanli was awake, he still intended to inquire about her method.

He had much to learn.

Not seeing Chu Nanli coming out, he quietly peeked inside and tentatively asked, "Prince, where is War God Princess Consort?"

"She fell asleep," Ye Jiuxiao said.

Physician Lin felt a pang of disappointment.

Since she was asleep, he would have to wait until tomorrow to ask her.

Looks like he would have a sleepless night ahead of him.
