Chapter 119: Should I Choose to Upgrade?
Beside the bed, Ye Pianran's ten fingers flew, using seventy-two silver needles of varying lengths and thicknesses, along with flower petals planted in the space, to swiftly and deftly pierce seventy-two vital acupoints on Aunt Meng's body.
The juice from the flower petals seeped into Aunt Meng's acupoints through the silver needles, instantly transforming into an invisible net that trapped her ever-decreasing life.
Hearing that Aunt Meng's breathing had calmed down and was no longer heavy, Ye Pianran immediately took out the spiritual spring water and fed it to her. Then, she generously poured all the spiritual spring water over her body to wash her wounds that had been mercilessly reopened. The wounds were quickly washed clean, and Ye Pianran's expression remained unchanged. She then took out five silver needles threaded with gold thread from her medicine box and carefully and steadily stitched them up.
The intense pain from the wound irrigation and the silk threads piercing her skin caused Aunt Meng to tremble uncontrollably, almost fainting several times. However, the spiritual spring water she had drunk and the silver needles on her body took effect at this moment, turning into streams of heat that flowed continuously through her eight extraordinary meridians, making her mind clearer and her sense of pain more acute.
After stitching up the wound, Ye Pianran looked up to see Aunt Meng's condition. She was surprised to find that the flower petals that had been inserted into Aunt Meng's acupoints with silver needles had all withered and turned black, which was very similar to the situation when she detoxified Old Madam Song last time!
Ye Pianran was horrified. She quickly removed the silver needles from Aunt Meng's body and pierced the fresh flower petals again, inserting them into Aunt Meng's body. Sure enough, the petals absorbed the toxins from Aunt Meng's body in a short while, quickly turning black and withering. She repeated this acupuncture treatment three times until all the poison in Aunt Meng's body was completely cleared.
Thanks to Ye Pianran's rescue, Aunt Meng was pulled back from the brink of death. She was extremely grateful to Ye Pianran, but having just given birth and lost so much blood, she was extremely weak and fainted before she could even thank her.
Having successfully rescued Aunt Meng, Ye Pianran did not relax for a moment. This time, she also needed to save her poor half-brother who had died shortly after birth!
Ye Pianran initially thought the infant had died of asphyxiation in the womb, but now that she learned that Aunt Meng had been poisoned, she judged that the child had probably died from the poison in the womb. She immediately changed her original plan to save the child and instead slowly dripped spiritual spring water onto the infant's tightly closed lips.
The newborn's body was incredibly pure. The drops of spiritual spring water that landed on his lips were immediately absorbed and seeped into his cold body. However, even after nearly half a bottle of spiritual spring water had been dripped on him, the bluish-purple tinge on his face showed no signs of fading, causing Ye Pianran to frown deeply.
Bringing the dead back to life is defying the heavens. She was able to save Jin Ding Mo He back then, but only with a try-it-out mentality. Humans are different from plants and trees. If even the spiritual spring water is useless, then she really has no other way.
The thought flashed through Ye Pianran's mind, but it stirred something within her.
When she saved Jin Ding Mo He, she soaked it in the spiritual spring and let the spring wash and cleanse it, which is how she truly brought it back to life. Could it be that she also needs to do this to save this dead infant?
Without hesitation, Ye Pianran immediately took action. She picked up the stillborn infant, gently stroking the red birthmark on her hand, and attempted to guide it into the magical spiritual realm. To her surprise, the stillborn infant actually followed her into the space!
Without time to ponder the mystery, she quickly walked to the spring and placed the stillborn infant in her arms into the water. The moment the infant fell into the spring, the originally cold water seemed to sense it, and its temperature rose steadily, becoming warm and gentle, turning into streams of warmth that surrounded the infant, like countless soft hands gently stroking its face and body.
This time, Ye Pianran didn't leave. Instead, she waited patiently by the pool. Under the caress and cleansing of the spiritual spring water, the toxins in the stillborn infant's body were gradually drawn out like threads, turning to nothingness under the impact of the water flow. His originally bluish-purple complexion also changed slowly at a visible speed.
It's unclear how long it took for the toxins in the stillborn infant's body to be completely cleared; and it's also unclear how much time passed before the infant's complexion slowly returned to rosy. Finally, when its tightly curled limbs suddenly moved, and its soft fingers opened as if trying to grasp something, Ye Pianran knew that she had truly saved the child!
Fearing the child would choke on the water, Ye Pianran quickly jumped into the water and pulled him out. The moment he was completely out of the water, it was as if he had broken free of his placenta and emerged from the womb into the world. His little face scrunched up, and he let out a loud cry.
Upon hearing that voice, Ye Pianran's nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She gently squeezed the baby's soft little hand in her arms, then hurriedly left the space with the child in her arms, returning to Aunt Meng's room. So much so that she didn't realize that the space trembled violently the moment she left, stirring up a raging storm!
The sudden cry of the baby was like a thunderclap, breaking the deathly silence of Fangcao Garden without warning. However, at this moment, the cry was like the most beautiful and melodious music in the world, instantly invigorating everyone in Fangcao Garden!
Ye Lingyue was utterly astonished and couldn't help but turn to look at the tightly closed door. She hadn't expected her young mistress to possess such extraordinary medical skills, actually managing to bring a stillborn infant back to life! No wonder the Third Prince cared so much about her, even sending people to protect her. How could such a woman not capture the Third Prince's heart?
The most agitated person in the courtyard was none other than Marquis Anshi. He had been restless ever since he heard the baby crying. After waiting for a while without seeing Ye Pianran come out with the child, he couldn't contain himself and was about to rush into the house.
Ye Lingyue reacted and immediately stood in front of Marquis Anshi, saying, "My lord, the young lady has not yet spoken. Please wait patiently outside."
Marquis Anshi had never seen a maidservant dare to stop him before, and he immediately flew into a rage: "Who do you think you are, daring to block my way! Get out of my way, I want to go in and see my son!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, but Miss said that no one is allowed to enter without her permission."
"Guards, seize this insolent servant! Teach her a lesson and show her who's in charge in this manor!"
Ye Lingyue let out a cold snort, and then a close-quarters battle broke out outside the courtyard. The guards of the Marquis's mansion rushed towards Ye Lingyue, but they couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes. In just a few moves, they all knocked her to the ground, unarmed.
Stepping on one of the guards' faces, Ye Lingyue revealed a very cute smile and said, "Brother, you flatter me."
Marquis Anshi knew how Ye Lingyue had become a maid in the Marquis's mansion, but he never expected her to be so secretive. While feeling annoyed, he also felt a sense of apprehension.
"You, who are you!"
"Your Excellency, my name is Yue'er, and I am Miss's personal maid," Ye Lingyue said with a smile.
Marquis Anshi was furious, but none of the guards in the Marquis's mansion were a match for her. If Kou Guang were here, he might be able to keep this girl in check, but Kou Guang happened to be off duty today, so he was at a loss.
Ye Pianran naturally overheard the conversation between An Shihou and Ye Lingyue, but she did not rush to take the child out to show An Shihou. Instead, she placed the crying child next to the sleeping Aunt Meng.
As if by some unseen force, the child's cries gradually subsided after he reached Aunt Meng's side. Aunt Meng's brow twitched slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. Upon hearing the cries, Aunt Meng was stunned for a moment, then her face was filled with overwhelming joy. Ignoring the pain in her body, she struggled to sit up and reached out to touch the child's face.
The skin beneath her fingertips felt real and warm; it wasn't her hallucination. Her child... was truly alive!
No, there was her too; her life was also saved!
Thinking of this, Aunt Meng's tears immediately fell. She raised her head and looked at Ye Pianran with teary eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "This concubine, Meng, thanks... thanks to the young lady for saving my life!"
However, no matter how earnest her voice was or how sincere her attitude was, Ye Pianran in front of her did not respond for a long time.
Unbeknownst to anyone, at this very moment, a strange and eerie voice, unlike anything Ye Pianran had ever heard before, suddenly echoed in her mind:
"The host has achieved resurrection, and the spiritual energy concentration in the space has reached 100%, meeting the upgrade requirements. Host, would you like to upgrade?"
