Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 26 Seeking Help from Long Chuqing

"Let's go take a look," Xiao Han said as he walked out after getting dressed.

Qing Tong hurriedly stopped him, "Your Highness, why don't you have your meal first before you go?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

It was already dark. A gentle autumn breeze was blowing, and lights were lit under the eaves. Occasionally, servants would walk around and greet Xiao Han.

When he arrived at Qingying Qingyang Courtyard, Doctor Yuan was taking care of him. When he saw Xiao Han arrive, he went up to greet him.

At this moment, Qingying and Qingyang's Gu poison flared up again. Doctor Yuan tried to suppress it with acupuncture, but it only had a slight effect. Painkillers were also of little use, so he could only watch helplessly as the two suffered.

"Your Highness, I remember now. This poison should be snake poison. After it enters the human body, it will travel around and bite, causing unbearable headaches, with the pain being particularly intense at night."

"I discussed this with several old friends for a long time today, but we couldn't find a good solution," Dr. Yuan said, shaking his head and sighing.

At this moment, Qingying was in unbearable pain. Seeing that Doctor Yuan had no good solution, she didn't want them to see her in such an embarrassing state.

"Your Highness, Doctor Yuan, please leave! I don't want you to see us like this."

Seeing their pained expressions, Xiao Han asked Doctor Yuan, "Is there any way to alleviate their suffering?"

Doctor Yuan shook his head. "I've tried everything I could, and I've used every medicine I could find, but nothing has worked. Sigh..." Doctor Yuan sighed and looked up at the sky, feeling utterly powerless.

Suddenly he murmured, "If that girl were here, perhaps she could alleviate their suffering," then shook his head.

Qing Tong was closer to him and heard part of what he said. He then looked at Doctor Yuan and asked, "Doctor Yuan, what did you just say? Is there anyone who can help alleviate their pain?"

Qing Tong and Qing Ying had always served Xiao Han closely, so they had a very good relationship. Seeing them in such pain now made them feel bad.

Doctor Yuan pushed Qing Tong away: "Calm down, my old bones can't take your shaking."

Seeing how excited Qing Tong was, Xiao Han followed up by asking, "Doctor Yuan, have you thought of any way? We should try it no matter what."

Seeing their anxious gazes, Dr. Yuan felt truly ashamed. He couldn't offer any help when they needed him, and he couldn't even provide basic pain relief. He deeply doubted his own medical skills.

He sighed, "Alas, it's not a method, it's just painkillers. It's a prescription given to me by a young lady, and I've been studying it for days but haven't been able to achieve the desired effect."

Dr. Yuan recalled his conversation with Long Chuqing that day, "If we could find her, she might have medicine to alleviate their pain."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a surge of hope and looked at him with expectant eyes.

Qing Tong hurriedly asked, "Where is she? What's her name? I'll go find her."

Dr. Yuan looked troubled: "I don't know where she is, nor do I know her name."

He was also annoyed, because they had a very pleasant conversation that day and he had forgotten to ask.

He suddenly remembered something and pointed at Qing Tong: "You, Qing Tong, Qing Ying, Your Highness, you all know her too, she's that girl!" Doctor Yuan said excitedly.

Everyone looked bewildered: "Which one?...?"

"It was that girl Qingying brought back the night the prince took his medicine," Doctor Yuan said, glancing awkwardly at Xiao Han.

Upon hearing this, Qing Tong excitedly exclaimed, "It's Miss Long! Miss Long is still at the manor. I'll go find her!" Then he vanished.

This time it was Doctor Yuan's turn to be surprised. "What? She's still in the Prince's mansion? How come I didn't know?"

Qingsong replied to Doctor Yuan, "Everyone in the household knows that Miss Long lives in Qiushui Pavilion."

After saying that, he saw Xiao Han glance at him, so he lowered his head and thought to himself, "This is no secret. It's already spread throughout the manor!"

Doctor Yuan was stunned: "Everyone in the household knows, how come I didn't know? She said she was leaving."

Uncle Zhong was also there. He replied, "You left the mansion and went back to the pharmacy that day and didn't return until now, so you didn't know she had stayed there."

Dr. Yuan pulled at his hair with both hands: "Then all my efforts these past few days have been for nothing. If I had known she was here, I would have come back and asked her."

Uncle Zhong added fuel to the fire, saying, "She's been in Qiushui Pavilion these past few days, helping the prince concoct various medicines."

Dr. Yuan looked abruptly at Uncle Zhong, "What did I miss?"

Uncle Zhong panicked when he saw him, so he moved aside and hid behind Xiao Han.

Bronze flew and ran to Qiushui Pavilion: "Miss Long, Miss Long," he shouted at the top of his lungs before even entering the courtyard.

Now that Doctor Yuan has no other choice, he can only ask Miss Long to take a look. Regardless of whether it can be resolved or not, we cannot give up any hope, Qing Tong shouted anxiously.

Long Chuqing was about to take a bath when she heard someone calling her in a panic.

Upon seeing Ziguang, Qing Tong asked, "Where is Miss Long?"

Seeing the anxious look on Qing Tong's face, Zi Guang quickly pointed in the direction of the washroom: "Miss Long has gone to take a bath."

"Have you washed her? If not, tell her to come out and save her life."

Long Chuting came out when she heard him calling her. Seeing that he was in a hurry, she asked, "What do you want?"

Qing Tong rushed to her urgently: "I need your help! Please save Qing Ying and Qing Yang!"

Long Chuqing looked bewildered. "What are you talking about? You're just yelling for me to save you. What if I can't? Tell me properly, and I'll see if it's within my capabilities." Long Chuqing was exasperated; he was making a fuss and didn't explain himself clearly.

Qing Tong calmed down and sorted out his thoughts: "It's a Gu worm. Qingying and Qingyang have been poisoned by Gu. Doctor Yuan said it might be a snake Gu. They go out at night..."

Long Chuqing reached out and stopped him from continuing.

Bronze thought she had no way out and his heart sank.

"How long has it been?" Long Chuqing asked seriously.

With a worried look on his face, Qing Tong replied, "It's been three or four days."

"Wait for me, I'm going to get the medicine," Long Chuqing said as she walked into the house, with Ziguang following to help her in.

When Qing Tong heard her say that she was going in to get medicine, a small flame of hope rose in his heart again.

When Long Chu heard about the snake worm, she knew how to solve it, which is why she interrupted Qing Tong.

A moment later, Long Chuqing came out, holding two bottles of medicine in her hand. "Lead the way."

Bronze glanced at her legs and said hesitantly, "How about I carry you across?"

"Is it far?"

“Not far,” Qing Tong shook his head, answering earnestly.

Long Chuqing narrowed her eyes and glanced at him: "It's not far, why are you in such a hurry?"

Bronze touched his nose and chuckled dryly: "They're feeling terrible right now."

Long Chuqing has gotten used to using crutches and is now walking much faster than she did a few days ago.

Zi Guang helped her to the entrance of Wenxin Courtyard, but didn't follow her inside. She felt embarrassed because the place was full of men.

When Long Chuqing arrived, they had already come from the room to the living room to wait. Qingying and Qingyang were covering their heads and sitting on the chairs next to them, while Xiao Han and Doctor Yuan were sitting opposite them.

In the living room were Doctor Yuan, Qingying, Qingyang, Xiao Han, Uncle Zhong, and several unfamiliar guards, all watching her walk in leaning on her cane.

After Long Chuqing entered, she glanced at them and saw that they were all looking at her with expectant eyes. She then walked over and sat down next to Qingying.

She glanced at it and called out, "Qingying."

Qingying was numb with pain. He looked at Long Chuqing in a daze, his vision blurred. He felt even worse than he had two days ago.

"Give me your hand, let me take your pulse," Long Chuqing said gently, always very patient with her patients.

Upon hearing this, Qingying felt a daze and thought she recognized the person, so she reached out her hand.

Long Chuqing had Qing Tong hold him down and carefully listened to his pulse, as well as Qing Yang's pulse.
