Her hands moved like sprites walking on clouds, and even through layers of clothing, they found each precise, crucial acupoint—from the broad areas of Zhongfu and Yunmen to the delicate spots of Tianfu and Xiabai.
Then to the deeper layers of Chi Ze and Kongzui, directly to the intricate twists of Lieque and Jingqu Acupoint, and finally reaching Taiyuan and Yuji, lastly gently touching the endpoint Shaoshang acupoint of the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian.
After a series of movements, Su Yu’s forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, a testament to her focus and effort.
Just at this moment, a little maid carrying a steaming bowl of medicine tiptoed in, her voice as fine as a mosquito’s, “Doctor Su, the medicine is ready.”
Su Yu nodded and instructed, “Good, administer it to the Old Lady now.”
Looking at the silver needles densely covering the Old Lady, the little maid seemed somewhat at a loss, timidly asking, “What about…about these needles?”
Su Yu smiled warmly, her tone filled with confidence, “It’s okay, just feed her the medicine, I will be careful to avoid them.”
Upon hearing this, the maid, though still apprehensive, did as told but with even more caution, fearful of disturbing the Old Lady or accidentally touching those golden needles.
Seeing this, Su Yu simply took the medicine bowl and said softly, “Let me do it!”
The maid immediately felt relieved, full of gratitude, “Doctor Su, you have taken so much trouble.”
Afterward, they cooperated in tacit understanding, with the little maid gently supporting the Old Lady’s head.
Meanwhile, Su Yu carefully lifted the Old Lady’s chin and spoon by spoon, slowly poured the medicine into the Old Lady’s mouth.
The Old Lady, in her coma, seemed to sense the call of the medicine’s potency, her heavy eyelids gradually showed movement, slowly opening, revealing a glimmer of life.
Su Yu already had a plan in mind and again instructed the little maid, “There might be a reaction next, you need to steady the Old Lady, don’t let her move about.”
The little maid nodded vigorously, clutching the Old Lady’s hand, providing her silent support.
Then, Su Yu took out a specially made thin needle and inserted it into the Old Lady’s throat with an extremely gentle technique.
The subtle stimulation instantly triggered a violent cough from the Old Lady.
Su Yu immediately used her palm as a cup and with skillful yet forceful taps, patted the Old Lady’s back from bottom to top, each pat landing precisely at the lungs, aiming to help expel the thick phlegm through vibration.
This was a silent struggle, and Su Yu knew that only in this way could she lend a crucial helping hand to the Old Lady at the critical moment, break the shackles on life and be reborn.
Success or failure hinged on this, Su Yu’s eyebrows were knitted into an inextricable knot, every single nerve seemed to be tethered to the deep concern for the Old Lady’s condition.
Her gaze, sharp as an eagle’s eye, missed not even the faintest change in the Old Lady’s facial expressions, trying to catch a sign of improvement.
The Old Lady’s cough was laced with undeniable pain, dry and labored, as if each breath were a form of torture.

Seeing this, Su Yu, without any visible emotion, subtly increased the strength in her fingers, hoping her superb medical skills could bring some relief to this suffering.
Suddenly, a dull yet piercing sound tore through the air, originating from deep within the Old Lady’s throat, making one’s heart tighten involuntarily.
Su Yu made a quick judgment and decisively ordered the personal maid by her side to bring over a spittoon, set it close to the bed, and prepare for the forthcoming change.
That sound seemed to be racing against time, echoing continuously in the room.
Finally, along with a burst of rapid and violent coughing, the congestion in the Old Lady’s throat seemed to find an outlet. Her phlegm poured out like a breached dam, carrying a sense of relief. The oppressive air dispersed, leaving behind only tranquility.
The color of the phlegm was murky and yellowish, and the smell was exceptionally foul, making it hard not to cover one’s nose.
But for Su Yu, this was a clear sign that the illness was improving—a weight quietly lifted from her heart.
She didn’t bother to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead from nervousness; her hands didn’t stop for a moment, repeating the earlier actions, time and time again, until the color of the liquid in the spittoon gradually became clear, until it disappeared completely.
By this time, Su Yu’s clothing was soaked with sweat, her arms ached unbearably from the prolonged exertion, and her palms were red, swollen, and numb from excessive friction.
After dealing with the phlegm, Su Yu hastily began to remove the Golden Needles from the Old Lady’s body.
When the last needle located at the neck was gently removed, the Old Lady’s incessant coughing abruptly stopped, followed by an exhaustion-induced deep sleep.
Fortunately, the Old Lady’s breathing finally became smooth again, and her pale complexion gradually returned to normal.
All these changes filled everyone present with a glimmer of hope.
Su Yu was not satisfied yet and continued to direct, “Now, try to lay the Old Lady flat on her back.”
Although the maids were nervous, fearing that the slightest mishap might cause the Old Lady discomfort again, they carefully completed the task.
It must be known that, for some time, whenever the Old Lady lay flat, she would have difficulty breathing, her complexion would turn blue, and the scene would be heart-stoppingly frightful.
Now seeing the Old Lady unharmed, the little maid couldn’t help but joyfully exclaim, “The Old Lady is alright now!”
In her heart, Su Yu laughed silently. For her, this was merely a small victory; the road to treatment was still long.
Before she could issue the next instruction, the people gathered outside, unable to restrain their anxiety, poured into the room. Young Master Tutor Lin was the most anxious, his voice trembling slightly, “The Old Lady, she…”
Su Yu immediately displayed the composure and calmness of a doctor, reassuring everyone with a steady tone, “At the moment, we have managed to temporarily stabilize the Old Lady’s vital signs, but the specific situation still requires further observation. I will stay here tonight to keep vigil.
If all goes well, the Old Lady will just need to take her medicine on time and with careful recuperation, she should gradually recover…”
Young Master Tutor Lin nodded repeatedly with gratitude, “Doctor Su has truly taken great pains.”
In his eyes shone disbelief, never having expected such exquisite medical skills from such a young female doctor. His attitude became more respectful and deferential.
In the crowd, Su Yu’s gaze inadvertently swept over Song Xiaoniang, who was covering her nose with a frown, clearly disgusted. Su Yu already had her in mind.
A barely perceptible smile curled the corner of her mouth as she spoke with a slightly mocking tone, “Young Master Tutor Lin, I think it’s best to ask everyone to step out for the time being. If we wait any longer, the strange smell might be too much for Song Xiaoniang to bear and cause her to vomit. After all, the Old Lady’s illness has also taken a toll on her spirit.”
At these words, Song Xiaoniang’s complexion changed drastically. In a flurry, she dropped her handkerchief, and the foul smell immediately made her feel nauseous.
Young Master Tutor Lin witnessed this scene, burning with anger, and sharply scolded, “You heartless woman, get out of here at once!”
