His Rui-Chapter 655 The Suspicios Old Man

Rong Ting finally removed his clothes after Gu Li nodded his head in his direction.

However, after that, he never looked into anyone's eyes present inside the room. Though his face was emotionless, his ears which were completely red betrayed him because of the embarrassment he was feeling.

Li Rui couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw this. However, she didn't say anything to Rong Ting. He would relax with time.

The old physician calmed down when he finally saw that Rong Ting was lying on the wooden plank with his upper body naked.

He turned to look at Li Rui and said eagerly

"Girl, let's start."

Li Rui nodded her head with a soft smile on her lips. The old physician immediately gave her the space to stand in front of the wooden plank and after that, he himself stood beside her. He also assigned the places to other physicians around the wooden plank so that they could also see but he never left his own spot.

When Li Rui started speaking, everyone listened very intently …including Rong Ting, Gu Li as well as Xi Ying.

No one dared to make a single sound as her soft voice sounded inside the tent. It was calm.

She explained what actually was the acupuncture first and after that, she told the physicians how a few points in the body could be used to control the whole body.

The other physician who was also old knew a little bit about what acupuncture was and he was hearing Li Rui carefully while the young physicians only had curiosity in their eyes.

Rong Ting didn't even blink when Li Rui took a silver needle towards his stomach.

However, the physicians except the old physician were frowning as they thought it was very cruel to poke the needle in the stomach of a fully conscious man. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

Did she even know about the correct points?

Won't it draw the blood?

However, when she poked the needle at a specific spot, everyone inside the room including Rong Ting who was waiting for the pain was surprised.

No blood came out and he never felt any pain. In fact, he didn't feel anything.

He was not even sure whether the needle was really inside or not. It was the weird silence inside the room and the surprised faces of the physicians standing near him, that conformed to his guess.

Rong Ting was surprised and wanted to check on his own but didn't dare to move at all.

The physicians had different kinds of expressions on their faces.

No one noticed how the physician who was around the age of the old physician was looking at Li Rui with shock-filled eyes. But soon he composed himself and his eyes looking at Li Rui were very deep.

He waited silently as she took out the needle and then pocked it into some other part of the shadow guard's body while explaining a few things at the same time.

He was well aware that she knew more than she told.

Perhaps it was because she didn't want them to know too much she didn't explain things much and only told them a little about what kind of work those points could do.

However, he didn't know that Li Rui had been told by Xi Ying to do so. Though his shadow guards had done a background checking of these physicians who were living in the Imperial City for the past five years, he still asked her not to tell them too many things.

He told her to show as if she knew only a little about acupuncture so that even after all this if he decided to free them, they won't have much to tell.

Though he had already thought of keeping them under his eyes until he would be sure that they couldn't harm Li Rui in any way.

The physicians were listening to everything very carefully whatever Li Rui said.

It was after almost half a shichen that Li Rui stopped talking and it was because of Xi Ying who spoke.

"That's enough for now. Sit for some time."

Gu Li immediately supported Xi Ying and went out to bring a chair for Li Rui.

Li Rui sat down on the chair and smiled helplessly as Gu Li forwarded a bowl of freshly washed fruits for her.

She ate a few but Gu Li made her eat more.

"Don't forget about the little one there."

Gu Li said with a smile on his lips as he signed her to eat more.

Xi Ying stood silently beside his wife. After the rest of almost fifteen minutes, Li Rui continued again. Xi Ying was not much happy but he was relieved that she had at least taken a little rest.

He stood there all the while ensuring that Li Rui was taking a rest after some time.

More than a shichen later, she was finally finished for the day. She turned around and took a few rice papers from the table that was inside the tent. She gave one paper to every physician and asked them to look at the drawn figure carefully and memories everything in a day.

After that, she asked the physicians to leave the room.

However, when the old physician was about to leave, Li Rui stopped him. The old physician stopped immediately and turned around to hear what she had to say.

"Grandpa, please stay. I have more things to tell you."

The other old physician was following the others to leave the tent but he stopped when he heard what Li Rui said. He frowned as he also wanted to stay but a cold voice fell in his ears.

"Continue walking."

The old physician looked at Xi Ying who was looking at him with cold eyes. The old physician's fists were clenched but he silently averted his eyes and continued walking. He was wise enough not to create any kind of drama at this moment.

However, Xi Ying looked at his back deeply.

"Is everything alright, Prime Minister Xi?"

Gu Li asked Xi Ying. The latter turned to look at the former and told him after a moment.

"That old man doesn't look alright to me."

Gu Li frowned as he also remembered one of the old men. He knew that one of them who was still inside the tent was trusted by Xi Ying so he understood who was Xi Ying talking about.

"I will have my man to keep an eye on him." 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

He said and Xi Ying nodded.

Gu Li's cold expression relaxed because he felt Xi Ying's trust in him increasing because of this small thing.
