Chapter 81: Fratricide

However, she didn’t know that while she was focused on giving Qin Zhiye acupuncture to detoxify him, the Duke quietly went out and summoned his secret guards, giving them a few instructions.

By the time Yunzhi finished the acupuncture, a quarter of an hour had passed. The needles on Qin Zhiye’s body caused pain to the Duchess.

She looked at the needles on her son, her eyes red, as if she was about to cry.

Yunzhi ignored her and stretched out her hand, gently stroking the needles. With her movement, the silver needles vibrated quickly and rhythmically.

This vibration lasted for about five minutes before it stopped.

When the silver needles stopped moving, Yunzhi turned around and instructed the young servant beside her, “Bring a basin over.”

When the servant brought the basin, Yunzhi placed it directly in front of Qin Zhiye’s bed and instructed, “When I remove the needles, you immediately help your master sit up and let him vomit into the basin, understand?”

“Understood.” Xiao Liu nodded and stood at the head of the bed.

Yunzhi didn’t waste any words and directly reached out to remove all the silver needles from Qin Zhiye’s body. The moment she removed the needles, Qin Zhiye reacted.

Seeing this, the servant quickly helped him sit up, making it easier for him to vomit into the basin.

With a “wa” sound, Qin Zhiye vomited a large mouthful of black blood. The Duchess was startled when she saw her son vomiting blood and was about to ask Yunzhi why this was happening when she smelled the foul odor emanating from the blood.

Immediately, her face changed.

If she hadn’t been so sure that her son was poisoned, then she was completely convinced now and felt fortunate that they had found the divine doctor.

Duke Qin also saw what his son had vomited and his face turned grim. However, what he was thinking was that he hoped the culprit wasn’t who he suspected, because even if it was his own son, he wouldn’t let him go.

Fratricide was always a taboo.

After Qin Zhiye vomited out the accumulated black blood in his body, he felt much lighter and subsequently opened his eyes.

Looking at his parents and a stranger standing in front of him, Qin Zhiye gave a weak smile and said, “Father, Mother, please forgive me for being unable to rise to greet you.”

“It’s alright, it’s alright. You being awake is already a great blessing. Greeting us or not doesn’t matter. By the way, you being able to wake up is thanks to the divine doctor, otherwise we wouldn’t know until now that you weren’t sick, but poisoned.”

“Poisoned?” Qin Zhiye was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised. He had always thought he was sick, and the doctors he had seen before also said he was sick.

But it turned out it wasn’t sickness but poison?

No wonder his illness hadn’t improved over such a long time, but instead got worse. A few days ago, he even fainted and never woke up.

Qin Zhiye thought he was going to die for sure, but unexpectedly, there was a turn for the better, and he actually woke up.

“Thank you, divine doctor, for saving my life.” Qin Zhiye looked at Yunzhi with gratitude. If it weren’t for him, he might have died a few days later.

“Young Master is too kind. You paid the consultation fee, and I treated you, it’s only natural.” Yunzhi waved her hand, declining the thanks for saving his life.

She had already lost her entire life for a life-saving grace, and she didn’t want another one.

Qin Zhiye didn’t expect Yunzhi to say this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then he laughed. He thought this divine doctor was quite interesting.
