Chapter 354 The Prince's Mystery: The Cannon Fodder Bride Forced into a Substitute Marquis's Marquisate VS The Frail and Early-Dying Eldest Son of the Marquis's Family (29)
Su Jinyue tested the water temperature, then without hesitation, stripped Shen Huaizhi naked and threw him into the bathtub.
The water in the bathtub was still scalding hot. As soon as Shen Huaizhi stepped in, his skin turned red upon contact with the water.
Su Jinyue, still not entirely at ease, instructed, "You must be completely immersed in the medicinal solution, even if it's hot. This is a necessary process for detoxification, and you can't be careless in the slightest!"
Shen Huaizhi obediently did as Su Jinyue asked, but he still felt a little awkward soaking naked in the bathtub.
Although the liquid was black and Su Jinyue shouldn't be able to see him underwater, Shen Huaizhi still felt somewhat uneasy.
In the days since their marriage, he has been sharing a bed with Su Jinyue, but he has always kept his feelings within the bounds of propriety. The most intimate thing he and Su Jinyue have ever done is kiss; they have never been intimate below the neck.
Now, Shen Huaizhi realized that Su Jinyue seemed to have seen him naked, and not only that, Su Jinyue even touched him!
If Su Jinyue knew what Shen Huaizhi was thinking, she would definitely cry out that she was wronged!
She was going to give Shen Huaizhi acupuncture, but Shen Huaizhi's entire body was underwater. How could she accurately pinpoint the acupoints without touching him with her hands?
Shen Huaizhi watched as Su Jinyue rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and smooth arms, and circled around him. He could no longer feel the heat of the water; he only felt that his skin, which was not in the water, was starting to feel hot.
To avoid Su Jinyue discovering his secret, Shen Huaizhi simply closed his eyes, but he found that this only made things worse.
Lacking visual information, Shen Huaizhi felt that he was more sensitive to the touch of Su Jinyue on his body. He could even smell the pleasant fragrance emanating from Su Jinyue through the strong smell of medicine.
The combined stimulation of touch and smell further aroused Shen Huaizhi's desire.
To make matters worse, Shen Huaizhi discovered that his body was reacting at this moment!
Shen Huaizhi tried his best to act normal, but Su Jinyue's hands were still wandering all over his body, and every place she touched seemed to ignite a fire. Shen Huaizhi simply couldn't control his instinctive reactions!
Su Jinyue is a doctor, and Shen Huaizhi's behavior was so obvious, how could she not have noticed his abnormality?
Su Jinyue reached out and pressed a few acupoints on Shen Huaizhi's abdomen with remarkable ease, which immediately calmed the excited little Shen Huaizhi down.
Although Shen Huaizhi's physical reaction had disappeared, the few times Su Jinyue pressed on Shen Huaizhi's abdomen still stimulated him to groan.
Su Jinyue smiled, then suddenly leaned down and kissed Shen Huaizhi on the lips.
Shen Huaizhi felt the soft touch on his lips, and suddenly opened his eyes to see Su Jinyue's pretty face right in front of him.
Su Jinyue thought Shen Huaizhi's expression was silly, so she kissed him again.
The first time, it was too sudden, and Shen Huaizhi didn't react at all, but the second time, Shen Huaizhi responded.
Su Jinyue's kiss was brief, leaving Shen Huaizhi unsatisfied. He wanted to follow her, but Su Jinyue stopped him immediately.
"Shen Huaizhi, you mustn't move! We're detoxifying you right now, you can't get distracted!"
Shen Huaizhi was furious, but the situation was special, and he had no choice but to do as Su Jinyue asked.
Shen Huaizhi gritted his teeth: "Wife, you provoked me first!"
Su Jinyue chuckled and leaned closer to Shen Huaizhi, saying playfully, "I'm sure you started it first."
"My lord, now is not the time, so I let it subside first. We'll continue once you're fully recovered."
Shen Huaizhi blushed with embarrassment at Su Jinyue's words. He wanted to reprimand Su Jinyue for being too rash, but his own previous behavior was no less egregious. After thinking it over, he couldn't find any words to refute Su Jinyue.
After thinking it over and over, Shen Huaizhi finally realized that what he was thinking about was actually continuing his relationship with Su Jinyue!
Shen Huaizhi closed his eyes. He felt he couldn't face Su Jinyue, and even less could he face himself.
……
Su Jinyue gave Shen Huaizhi a medicinal bath for seven days in a row. During these seven days, the toxins expelled from Shen Huaizhi's body started to turn the water black and even corrode the bath tub. Then the toxins gradually decreased and by the last day, they were completely gone.
Su Jinyue took Shen Huaizhi's pulse. After seven days of medicinal baths and acupuncture, the toxins in Shen Huaizhi's body had been completely removed.
The medicinal herbs used to brew the medicine were taken from her spatial storage, and were much better than those from pharmacies in the capital.
Su Jinyue also added spiritual spring water to the bathtub, striving to detoxify Shen Huaizhi while nourishing his body and preventing his condition from deteriorating.
Now it seems that Su Jinyue's treatment method is very effective. Shen Huaizhi's body has been detoxified, and without the burden of the poison, his body is gradually getting better day by day.
Shen Huaizhi's ever-increasing appetite is the best proof of his improving health.
Shen Huaizhi gradually gained weight and was no longer as thin and frail as before, like a skeleton, so thin that Su Jinyue felt uncomfortable when she held him.
Although this small world does not allow the cultivation of immortal techniques, it still contains some martial arts and internal energy cultivation methods.
Su Jinyue learned that some powerful and wealthy families still employ江湖人士 (jianghu figures) as bodyguards to protect the safety of their family members.
Some families even kept secret guards, and the emperor in the palace also had a secret guard team that was not easily revealed to the public.
While these bodyguards aren't strong enough to shatter the void or reverse aging, if they cultivate to their full potential, they can still scale walls and thread a needle from a hundred paces away.
When Su Jinyue detoxified Shen Huaizhi, she had already examined his bones and muscles. She found that he was suitable for martial arts training, and Su Jinyue also intended to widen his meridians.
With the addition of medicine and the nourishment of spiritual spring water, Shen Huaizhi's physical condition is now no weaker than that of his peers. With further care, he will definitely surpass his peers.
Su Jinyue also had internal energy cultivation techniques in her spatial storage. Having learned about the martial arts system of this world, Su Jinyue felt comfortable sharing them with Shen Huaizhi.
Previously, it was inconvenient to practice martial arts at the Marquis's residence, but now, taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Jinyue has made it public that she knows martial arts.
After Shen Huaizhi was detoxified, he could clearly feel that his body had improved. He was no longer as tired after walking a few steps as before, and he was also afraid of the cold and heat, and would fall ill from time to time.
Shen Huaizhi felt extremely relaxed, with no more of the previous sluggishness, and a sense of rebirth.
Shen Huaizhi was also very interested in the internal energy cultivation methods and martial arts techniques that Su Jinyue presented; no one can resist the temptation to become stronger.
Knowing that his wife had already achieved success in her cultivation, Shen Huaizhi became even more eager to become stronger.
Adding to the mystery surrounding Shen Huaizhi's background, he dared not relax in the slightest. With Su Jinyue's consent, he devoted himself to cultivation.
