Chapter 69 Hesitation
Song Ci was sweating profusely from the pain, her body trembling, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, her pursed lips letting out some faint groans.
Hong You took a clean cotton handkerchief to wipe her sweat, looked at Lin Qing with the needle, and said, "Doctor Lin, isn’t there a gentler needling method? Madam seems to be in too much pain."
"As the saying goes, ’pain means obstruction.’ Most of Madam’s meridians are blocked, so the sudden needle insertion naturally hurts. As it gradually clears, it will become easier," Lin Qing looked at Song Ci and said softly, "Madam, you don’t need to hold it in. If it’s really painful, you can shout."
Song Ci weakly said, "Shout at what? Shout at the heavens for playing with me? Shouting won’t help, the pain will still be there, so I might as well save my breath. Ouch, it hurts, Doctor Lin, please have mercy."
Lin Qing almost laughed, glanced at the hourglass, and said, "If that’s the case, bear with it a little longer, in another thirty breaths the needles can be removed."
Nanny entered from outside and said, "Madam, the Prime Minister has come to see how you are."
"Why is he coming so late? Tell him to go back; I’ve got needles in me and don’t have the energy to talk to him," Song Ci didn’t want to bother dealing with her eldest son, the fighter among people savvy in the ways of the world.
"The Prime Minister is also devoted to you, he needs to see you well to be at ease," Nanny said.
