Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 1

by North Night (夜北)

  “Master!” The man looked worriedly at the pale faced Jun Qing.

  Jun Qing’s poison from that time had yet to be fully purged and the residual toxicity had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, even the famed Yun Qing Clan’s Sovereign had failed to neutralise it. Over the years, Jun Qing had been very cautious right down to his diet. He was fine just a moment ago and was still rebuking him, why did he suddenly…?

  He suddenly thought of something.

  “That lotus seed? But how could it be?”

  No matter how much he disliked Jun Wu Xie, the blood of the Jun family still flowed within her, that’s why when she had approached Jun Qing just now, he did not have any apprehension towards her. How could it have been her?

  Jun Qing clenched his teeth tightly as he felt the itch slowly became an indescribable pain. It was as if they were slowly being crushed and the overwhelming pain swept over him as he broke out in cold sweat.

  As the man watched Jun Qing’s condition worsen by each passing moment, he quickly lifted Jun Qing up with his wheelchair and rushed back to the room.

  All these was not relayed to Jun Wu Xue. She was cooped up in her pharmacy researching. She had not given it a second thought as she had personally gone through the bone cleansing process and although it was not the most comfortable experience, it was still manageable in her opinion.

  However, what she did not know was that the cleansing of a regular human bone and one that had been poisoned had a totally different effect.

  In a different courtyard, at this moment Jun Qing was suffering from an excruciating pain, as if a thousand knives were hacking away at his bones. An emergency summon for all the capable doctors of the State to quickly head over to Lin Palace to treat him.

  However, all the doctors were helpless in their diagnosed as Jun Qing lay on his bed as his body temperature soared, as his body kept twitching and soon the sweat soaked through the sheets. The sweat expelled also carried a faint black smelly substance.

  This scene scared the wits out of the group of doctors who knelt at the bedside quivering.

  Jun Xian had received the news and rushed back to see his son lying on the bed, complexion as white as sheet. His condition did not look optimistic and it was as if he had one leg in the grave already.

  Jun Xian broke out in cold sweat as he roared, “What the hell happened?!” A pair of bloodshot eyes was staring viciously at the doctors kneeling by the bed.

  “Th..thi..this humble one…does not know how .. How his blood flow is in chaos and the poison in his bone marrow suddenly spread..spread to wh..whole body. Thi..this humble one really tried my best… Lin Wang please have mercy!” The group of doctors all cried for mercy as they all had the same diagnosis- Jun Qing did not have long to live!

  This bolt of information almost made Jun Xian faint as he steadied himself.

  Was his last son going to die?

  No!

  This can’t be happening!

  He immediately rushed over to the Royal Palace, intending to seek out Bai Yun Xian as she is Qing Yun Clan’s Sovereign’s disciple. To his dismay, Bai Yun Xian had refused audience with anyone saying that she was still frightened from the attack and was still recuperating.

  He immediately stormed into the Grand Hall to seek an audience with the Emperor instead. His Majesty was placed in a difficult situation and as he did not have much of a choice, he could only watch on helplessly as he saw Jun Xian lead all the Imperial Doctors in the Royal Palace back to Lin Palace to assist with the treatment.

  Chapter 26: “Poison(4)”

  For one whole day and night, Jun Qing was lying on the bed hanging over the verge of death, all the doctors that came and took his pulse all had the same worried expression, all had the single verdict – Jun Qing was one step away from death’s door.

  Jun Xian seemed to have aged ten years overnight as he sat by his son as he waved his hands and asked them all to return to the palace. He sat there sadly as he buried his face in his hands.

  ………………..

  “Is that true?” The Emperor who was seated in the study was listening to the doctor who was reporting Jun Qing’s situation to him, his face void of any expression as he listened solemnly.

  “This humble one does not dare lie. Jun Qing’s poison has indeed acted up and the poison has attacked the heart.” The doctor reported truthfully.

  “That’s a pity, order for the Snow Mountain Ginseng and the Red Lingzhi to be sent over to Lin Palace.” The Emperor was feeling very generous, both the Snow Mountain Ginseng and the Red Lingzhi are rare herbs that was used to prolong life and it was apparent to everyone that Jun Qing has not much longer to live.

  “Yes, your Majesty.”

  “Withdraw” The Emperor waved his hand.

  When the doctor left, the Emperor leaned back in his chair as he went through all the various scrolls on the desk, a small smile could be seen.

  ………………..

  In the Lin Palace was overshadowed with gloom as Jun Qing lay on his bed motionless, his breathing was very weak.

  Jun Xian sat by his side with red eyes.

  “Why did this suddenly happen? You were alright all these years, why did the poison suddenly flare up?” Jun Xian could not understand, all these years his condition had been stable, what could have triggered it?

  The man standing by the side had on a solemn expression as he clenched his fist tightly.

  “Has any suspicious personnel entered the Palace lately?” Jun Xian asked with a deep frown.

  The man shook his head as he looked over at Jun Qing lying on the bed, his heart was struggling internally. Before Jun Qing fainted, he had specifically told him not to tell anyone that Jun Wu Xie was there before. No matter what had happened, he believed from the bottom of his heart that Jun Wu Xie would not hurt him. He simply took it as his life was going to end a little sooner that’s all. He did not want to implicate his niece into anyone’s grand scheme to throw the Lin Palace into further turmoil.

  But now all the doctors have diagnosed that he did not have much time left. Did he have to hide this forever?The man was conflicted, if it was anyone else, he would have directly interrogated them but the perpetrator was Jun Wu Xie!

  If Jun Qing really died, Lin Palace had no more future.

  “This…what happened here?” a puzzled voice suddenly sounded.

  The man and Jun Xian both turned to look at the same time as they saw Jun Wu Xie carrying a black cat in her arms, with a quizzical expression at the doorway.

  “Wu Xie………” Jun Xian’s husky voice was full of sorrow.

  The man clenched his trembling fist and choked back the words he wanted to say.

  “Your uncle has been poisoned.” Jun Xian slowly broke it to her as he closed his eyes in despair.

  Poisoned? Jun Wu Xie was slightly surprised when she heard this. She immediately went to the bed ignoring the surprised Jun Xian and man as she took Jun Qing’s pulse.

  His pulse was very weak, barely discernable. Jun Qing’s face was pale and covered with sweat mixed with a dark substance. All these fit the description of being poisoned.

  If it was others, they would have concluded it as severe poisoning however, who was Jun Wu Xie? She had immediately found something different.

  Although Jun Qing’s pulse was weak, it was also very stable.

  Jun Wu Xie immediately pulled off the quilt and removed the pillow.

  “Wu Xie, what are you doing?!”

  “Uncle is fine.” Jun Wu Xie’s mind was focused on the treatment and did not know how her sudden actions and words had impacted the rest who were standing there with their mouth agape.

  Chapter 27: “Healing Hands (1)”

  Jun Qing’s situation was not as bad as everyone had made it out to be. It looked as though the poison had penetrated the bone marrow, as the lotus seed actually cleanses the bones and as it purges all the toxins out, these will be purged out f
rom the pores of the body together with the sweat. Before the process is complete, this accumulation of discarded toxins will confuse people and think that the terrifying amount of poison had actually reached his heart and hence the death verdict.

  In actual fact, it was not so dangerous!

  Jun Wu Xie placed Jun Qing on a flat position as she wanted to smoothen the detoxification process. She swiftly took out a needle bag as she pulled out a long slender needle and accurately pierced a main meridian point. She continued on with a few other points to unblock them with the intention to increase his blood circulation and to hasten the process and put an early end to his ordeal.

  As she was self immersed in an ethereal state as she skillfully used her needles to treat him, she was oblivious to her surroundings. When she had initially pulled out the needle, the man could not take it anymore and had stepped forward to stop her when the equally shocked Jun Xian raised his hand and blocked him.

  They stood beside the bed and watched her quietly as she skillfully and accurately unblocked his meridians. They had all seen Jun Wu Xie grow up and had never expected her medical skills to be so good.

  “Prepare ten stoves in the room and shut the door and windows.” she calmly ordered.

  “What are you up to? He’s your Uncle! Can’t you see, he’s dying!” The man bellowed. He could not take it any more! Jun Qing was already so sickly and his sweat had soaked through the sheets and she still wanted him to be cooped up in the room with ten stoves?!

  Jun Wu Xie glanced over and spoke in a cold voice, “I don’t speak to idiots.”

  She did not care about how horrid his expression was, she simply carried her black cat in her arms and left.

  There was nothing wrong with Jun Qing’s detoxification process but his body was very weak as his lower body was immobile for too long. His internal organs were all in disarray, hence even if the bones are cleansed, she still needed to help him rebuild his whole body constitution to what it was before, or even better! Now, her main goal was to purge out all the remaining toxins in the shortest time possible.

  She immediately rushed to get the prescription for stabilizing and boosting his internal system.

  In Jun Qing’s room, the air was very stifled as the man’s face was as black as coal while Jun Xian wore a heavy expression.

  As Jun Xian watched Jun Qing Ying on the bed with that deathly pale complexion, Jun Xian was struggling for a bit when he finally ordered, “Prepare ten stoves! Shut the doors and all the windows tight!”

  “Lin Wang, you would even let the Little Miss mess with his life?” He gave Jun Xian an incredulous look.

  Jun Xian sighed. “You’ve heard what all the other doctors have said. They said there was no way to cure him. They have all given up on him. The fact that there is a glimmer of hope, no matter how ridiculous it is, I am going to try it. I have only one son left and I’m not going to let him leave me so easily. Even if the chance is one in a million, I’m going to cling onto it.”

  He was pushed into a corner and had no way out. He was willing to risk it all, after all, what did he have to lose?

  When he saw his granddaughter’s skill with the needle, a glimmer of hope ignited within. He’d rather place his hope within his family!

  “You are going to place all your hopes in her? How long has she dabbled in medicine for? This is too much! It’s a life you are playing with! Isn’t Qing Yun Clan Sovereign’s disciple currently residing in the Royal Palace? Even if his Majesty doesn’t agree, I’m going to tie her up and drag her here!” He argued bitterly.

  Jun Xian shook his head. “Jun Qing’s been poisoned too heavily, even the Sovereign cannot neutralize it, what more his disciple? Even if you tie her up and drag her here, what’s the point? It’s no use…”

  Chapter 28 “Healing Hands (2)”

  The man slumped against the bed as he bit clenched his teeth.

  Soon, the stoves were placed in the room as the servants hurriedly closed all windows and the door. The sudden increase in temperature forced both Jun Xian and the man to circulate their spiritual energy and soon they were each covered in a thin cloak to protect themselves from the extreme heat.

  Jun Qing’s sweat mixed with black substance came trickling out and he was completely drenched. It was as though he had just been fished out from a pool of water. Those sweat beads that dripped onto the floor evaporated quickly and soon the room was filled with steam.

  A creaking sound was heard as Jun Wu Xie entered the room with a bowl of her own concoction as the little black cat stayed by her side.

  Without paying heed to anyone, she marched straight up to Jun Qing.

  Suddenly, she felt a strong grip on her wrist. The man had rushed forward in an attempt to stop her.

  “He’s your Uncle!” He stared at her menacingly. Although he did not tell Jun Xian that the cause of this was all because she had fed him the lotus seed, he still held her responsible in his heart. Although he did not want to believe that she was out to hurt Jun Qing, the facts were right there.

  “Let go.” She said icily as she frowned. She immediately broke free from his grasp as she flung her hand away. She was very annoyed to be interrupted and questioned repeatedly while treating a patient.

  The man stood quietly at the corner with a gloomy expression as he watched her slowly feed Jun Qing the bowl of black liquid.

  After drinking the bowl of medicine, there was no response from Jun Qing as he lay quietly on the bed.

  As time slowly ticked by, the intense temperature of the room was a great torture to Jun Wu Xie. As she had yet to start her cultivation much less protect herself with a cloak of her own spiritual energy from such extreme temperature. She continued to sweat profusely as her thin dress was soaked through but no matter what, she just sat there quietly as she meticulously paid attention to every single change in his pulse.

  The black cat leaped onto the bed as it stared at Jun Qing and looked up at Jun Wu Xie.

  “Meow.”

  [Physical condition seems stable.]

  Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly.

  An hour later, crystal clear beads of sweat started forming, a huge contrast to the previous murky sweat that was expelled.

  Jun Wu Xie immediately called for the servants to remove all the stoves and air the room.

  “Prepare hot water and help freshen Second Master up.” Jun Wu Qing ordered.

  Everyone outside the room looked at her with a puzzled expression. What was their Young Miss up to again? The situation for their Second Master was already very bad with almost every doctor in the kingdom giving him the death verdict. Now she comes in and play doctor?

  The servants hesitated as they looked towards Jun Xian and when he nodded, they scuttled in and went to clean up.

  “You there, go to my pharmacy and take the medical pot I left on the table over and add it into warm water and let Second Master soak in it for three hours.” She called out to the man standing nearest to her.

  During this whole process, Jun Xian stood quietly by the side never once interfering with her arrangements as he watched her with his tired eyes, he felt a wave of relief wash over him.

  Regardless if everything she did was useless, at least she had changed for the better.

  After she finished all the necessary arrangements, she discovered that her dress had many stains, these were all from the black substance expelled out from Jun Qing’s body and it had an odious stench.

  She quickly retreated back to her own room to take a bath. She really hated all these smells!

  Volume 1

  Chapter 29: “Healing Hands (3)”

  Jun Qing was soaking in the medicinal bath water that Jun Wu Xie had specially prepared for him. Although he was unconscious, it was apparent that his condition had improved as his breathing was no longer as weak and his face although pale, it was not deathly white as before. The man could see this but he still huffed his chest up haughtily as he still bore some grievances towar
ds Jun Wu Xie.

  Jun Xian was by his son’s side all this while and when he saw the improvement, he gave a sigh of relief.

  “After all, Wu Xie is his daugher, she may have been somewhat naive in the past, now she is all grown up. You must not have any prejudice against her, she may… she may need the protection from you guys to grow up safely in the future.” He patiently explained. He could tell that man did not like Jun Wu Xie very much. He wanted to try to diffuse the animosity as much as he could.

  The man remained silent and left the room as soon as he saw that Jun Qing’s complexion had finally turned for the better.

  After her bath and changing into a fresh new set of clothes, Jun Wu Xie sat in the pharmacy as she held a tea cup in one hand while the other was writing down all the various names of herbs with fervour.

  Jun Qing’s condition has stabilised but to return his condition to its peak, a lot of effort is needed, as such she was busy scribbling away all the medications needed.

  To complement the medicine, she also wrote down the list of dishes to pair them with, to complement each other so as to nourish him and speed up the process.

  A knocking the door interrupted her thoughts.

  “Come in.”

  The door creaked opened and there stood the same tall man who had been interrupting her all these while. She furrowed her eyebrows.

  “If you’ve got something to say, spit it out now, or else just scram.” For people other than family, she does not pay any heed to the words used. She says whatever comes to mind without a care.

  As she just finished speaking, the man standing in front of her suddenly went down on one knee with a loud thud.

  “Major General of the Rui Lin Army Long Qi has greatly offended Young Miss, please punish me as you deem fit!” He said grimly as his tall frame was kneeling with on one knee and his head slightly bowed.
