Ah Zhao is a bit confused. “I’m better now.”
That’s true.
After she takes this body, she has some influence over it so it begins to turn better. And the tonic Huo Jun lets the servants make for her works too. Though she isn't as strong as the average, she has been better than the old Qi Zhao who would be struck down with cold because of a tiny wind.
However, apparently, someone isn't very happy about her current condition.
Hearing that, the old doctor strokes his beard and says meaningfully: “My Lady, the general is in his prime years and you have just married...”
Red in the face, Ah Zhao leaves with the prescription.
From that day on, she has another medicine soup for her health.
She has to give the old doctor credit for his superb skills since in less than a month’s time she starts to feel the change in her body - she feels strength in her blood, she doesn't feel cold in the middle of the night nor does her legs lose strength after walking for some time.
Huo Jun has been taking medicine according to the old doctor’s prescription too.
After a month, his disease doesn't come.
However, the old doctor doesn't leave either.
He comes to Huo Jun and Ah Zhao.
“General, the toxin has been in your system for so long that it is hard to get rid of it completely by medicine.”
“Sir, what do you suggest?”
The old doctor continues: “I need someone who can stimulate your acupoints under my instruction. Together with medicine, it will get all the toxin out of your system. I had a choice at first - my disciple, who used to practice martial arts, very strong. But now, I have someone better.” He turns to Ah Zhao.
“My Lady, you are born with a superhuman strength. Perfect for this job. Besides, we don't have to worry that a fourth person will learn about the general’s illness.”
Ah Zhao, “born with superhuman strength”: “...”
Cotton candy giggles: “See, you’ve taken a great skill! Useful in every world!”
Ah Zhao: “...”
That’s right but it still sounds odd to her.
She didn't know what the old doctor wanted her to do until she enters the room the manor prepared for him.
The first thing she sees is the general who is naked in a tall bathtub.
His eyes are closed. Unconscious, it seems.
The old doctor points out dozens acupoints and tells her: “A moment later, pat these acupoints, ten times each with the strength of... Have you memorized them all, My Lady?”
Ah Zhao nods.
A bit unsure whether she understands or not, the old doctor takes out a bronze figure which is used to display acupoints. “My Lady, please point out all the acupoints I told you just now.”
She points out all of them correctly.
“My Lady, I have a bond with you. Have you ever considered to learn medicine?”
Ah Zhao: “...”
She forces a cough and points at Huo Jun: “Let's get down to business first.”
Regretfully, the old doctor turns to Huo Jun.
Ah Zhao finally understands what she is here for. Normally, not many people can manage to pat Huo Jun on those acupoints ten times with a great strength.
After an hour, Ah Zhao is streaming with sweat.
Huo Jun, covered with slaps is still unconscious but seems in pain. All of a sudden, he coughs and spills several mouthfuls of dark blood.
[Ah Zhao: I can cure any disease after a few hundred strikes!]
