Did Not Reject Their Cordiality

Next to them, Zhu Yu shuddered when she saw her mistress take out a long and thin golden needle.

When the medicine had taken effect, Lu Liangwei made Chu Qi lie down on the small bed nearby. Then, she sterilized the golden needle with fire and said to him, "It'll hurt a bit in the beginning, so I'll need you to bear the pain for a while."

"All right." Chu Qi nodded.

Lu Liangwei took a seat by the bed, picked up a silver needle, and inserted it slowly into his temple.

Two hours later.

Lu Liangwei removed the needles on Chu Qi's head.

Chu Qi's face was dripping with sweat.

Zhu Yu quickly fetched a handkerchief and wiped his sweat away. Then, she took a strip of white cloth and tied it around his eyes as per Lu Liangwei's instructions.

"You can't expose your eyes to light for the next few days, so don't remove this strip of cloth until three days later," Lu Liangwei informed him. 

Chu Qi nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."
