The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1774 - 1861: The More Painful, the Happier

However, there is a small portion of people who, even if turned into a coma, can retain conscious awareness, still able to perceive what’s happening outside.

Therefore, Her Majesty the Empress’s condition is not all that surprising.

Dong Huiying’s heart acupuncture for Her Majesty the Empress was merely the first step, meant to seal off her heart meridian, protecting the essential and sensitive acupoints throughout Her Majesty the Empress’s body, to prevent the Gu Insect’s counterattack from harming her.

Afterward, Dong Huiying began focusing on Her Majesty the Empress’s head, which was now covered in Golden Needles, resembling a golden, prickly hedgehog.

At the same time, Her Majesty the Empress felt something crawling around inside her head, with the itch carrying a slight pain, and as time passed, both the itchiness and pain grew increasingly intense, enough to drive someone insane.

Nonetheless, Her Majesty the Empress was not alarmed or frightened by it; she lacked such emotions and instead seemed to relish it.

The more intense the pain, the more delighted she became!

Does this mean she is about to die?

Should she truly die, she would rather lavishly reward Dong Baowei, for this person provided her relief! Indeed, he deserves to be rewarded!

Unfortunately, once dead, all that she possessed while alive would vanish, nothing is taken into life or death, only to be discussed when they meet again underground one day.

At this moment, Dong Huiying took a step back.

She gazed at the Empress’s head, completely covered with Golden Needles, resembling a hedgehog. Dong Huiying was very satisfied, examining her handiwork, and then gracefully turned to pick up the herbs she previously selected from various shelves.

Next, she planned to concoct a potion. The Golden Needle was just one key to dealing with the Gu inside Her Majesty the Empress’s head, used to limit the Gu Insect’s range of movement, and also to preserve the Empress’s life.

This potion, however, was the second key.

This potion could be used to extract the Gu Insect. However, as Dong Huiying picked up the herbs, she suddenly sensed a gaze fall upon her.

Feigning indifference, she turned and said to the Great Commander: "What I’m about to prepare is a secret formula, I must clear the room!"

This request from Dong Huiying was quite abrupt. The Hidden Guards remained there to prevent her from doing harm to Her Majesty the Empress, yet now Dong Huiying wanted to drive them away?

The Hidden Guards present instantly gripped the swords at their waists.

Before the Hidden Guards could challenge her, Dong Huiying moderately added: "Of course, aunty, you may stay, as among these Hidden Guards, you’re the only one I trust. My secret formula can be known to you but not to others."

After saying this, Dong Huiying turned to handle the herbs. She heard a mosquito-like buzz; the Hidden Guards seemed to be protesting to the Great Commander. The first to jump up was Jiang Feng, who not long ago was tormented to a point worse than death by Dong Huiying’s poison powder.

Jiang Feng was weak, supported by two people, drenched as if pulled from water.

He was the leader of the resistance, inciting the other Hidden Guards, refusing to be cleared out by Dong Huiying. His gaze occasionally swept over Dong Huiying, carrying a few sinister undertones.

It was clear he bore a grudge against Dong Huiying, the torment he suffered made him harbor resentment against her deep in his heart.
