Chapter 321: 7 Days of Torment
"But, wanting to quit taking Atractylodes powder is no different from walking through the gates of hell!" Bao Huaer's tears flowed uncontrollably just thinking about the pain that Yi Qianyuan would face next.
"In that case, let Big Brother decide what to do." Yi Qianhuan forced himself to calm down and said to Yi Qianyuan in the calmest tone, "Big Brother, I understand how difficult it is for you. The Atractylodes macrocephala powder saved your life, and you are in this state out of helplessness. But how you are going to live your life from now on is all up to you."
"Uncle, don't have too much psychological pressure. Even if you don't quit taking Atractylodes powder, I will find a way to relieve your pain as much as possible." Yi Mobao said quickly.
He knew more about Atractylodes macrocephala powder than his mother did, and he knew very well that his aunt was not exaggerating.
So far, no one has been able to quit taking Atractylodes powder because its addictiveness is too strong.
Although he could try his best to help his uncle relieve the pain when he was quitting taking Atractylodes powder, this was also limited.
Such a difficult thing would be like forcing someone to do something against his will if one were to do it by force. Although he and his mother hoped that their uncle could quit, they could not force him.
"I must quit taking Atractylodes powder." Yi Qianyuan said this while holding Bao Huaer's hand tightly.
Bao Huaer's face was covered with tears, and she was stopped by Yi Qianyuan before she could speak.
"Hua'er, I didn't do this on a whim. I had decided on this a long time ago. My life was saved by the white atractylodes powder, so I don't think it's a bad thing. But it did have a great impact on me. I don't want to become a walking corpse in the future, so I will quit using it no matter what."
Yi Qianyuan hugged Bao Huaer tenderly, "Besides, I know that it is difficult for people who take Atractylodes powder to get pregnant. I also know that you have always liked children. When I quit taking Atractylodes powder, we can have our own child."
"Husband..." When Bao Huaer saw Yi Qianyuan say this, longing filled her eyes, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say for a moment.
"Trust me, okay?"
Bao Huaer really couldn't refuse Yi Qianyuan, and finally agreed: "The process of quitting Baizhu powder is long and painful, but I can do my best to help you."
"I can help too! I can research some medicines to relieve my uncle's pain as much as possible." Seeing that the carriage stopped right in front of the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion, Yi Mobao quickly jumped off the carriage, "Mother, let's go quickly to help my uncle research medicines!"
Yi Qianhuan agreed immediately and followed Yi Mobao.
Yi Qianhuan, Yi Mobao and Bao Huaer spent three days researching the best withdrawal drug they could come up with so far.
Afterwards, a secret room was prepared for Yi Qianyuan, and Yi Qianhuan prepared a large amount of water and food in the secret room.
Bao Huaer checked many times, but she was still worried: "Can I really not accompany my husband? I am willing to cooperate with the body search and promise not to bring any Atractylodes powder. I will not hinder my husband."
"Sister-in-law, this is actually what big brother meant." Yi Qianhuan said, turning to look at Yi Qianyuan behind him.
"Yes, I decided to face this alone. I decided to enter the secret room by myself, so that I would not have any chance to waver." Yi Qianyuan smiled at Bao Huaer, "Huaer, believe me, it only takes seven days. If I can come out alive after seven days, it means I succeeded!"
Bao Huaer was not at all worried, she really wanted to follow Yi Qianyuan.
But when she saw Yi Qianyuan's perseverance, no matter how worried she was, she could only endure it: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Yi Mobao handed a bottle of medicine to Yi Qianyuan and said, "Uncle, the first three days of quitting Baizhu powder will be the most painful for you. I will give you at least three bottles of withdrawal medicine every day through the small window. After taking the medicine, it can relieve 30% of your pain. This is the most we can do for you so far."
"That's good enough. Mobao, thank you very much." After opening the medicine bottle and taking a few pills, Yi Qianyuan walked into the secret room.
As the door of the secret room closed, Bao Huaer looked as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she leaned softly on Yi Qianhuan's shoulder.
Yi Qianhuan encouraged Bao Huaer: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I believe that big brother will succeed."
Bao Huaer wiped away her tears: "I believe in him too!"
The seven days seemed particularly difficult to endure.
Bao Huaer was absent-minded every day, and wished she could stay outside the secret room all day waiting for Yi Qianyuan to come out.
Five days finally passed, and Bao Huaer could no longer hear any movement in the secret room.
Just as Mo Bao said, the first three days were the most difficult for Yi Qianyuan.
During these three days, Yi Qianyuan collapsed several times. He lost all his sanity, from the pain in the beginning to begging for mercy, and even to the end he started cursing and banging his head against the wall.
Listening to the noise made by Yi Qianyuan outside the secret room, Bao Huaer felt extremely heartbroken.
She knew better than anyone that her husband was a man of destiny, and yet such a proud man was forced into such an embarrassing situation.
No wonder everyone said that Atractylodes powder was indeed a poison. Now she could finally understand this statement, and at the same time she felt more sorry for her husband.
Bao Huaer stood guard outside the door firmly and finally survived until the sixth night.
After tonight, Yi Qianyuan will be able to come out.
Bao Huaer sat on the ground outside the secret room, staring at the door of the secret room. Because she was too focused, she didn't notice that Yi Qianhuan had come behind her.
Bao Huaer didn't come to her senses until a cloak was put on her shoulders. She quickly turned her head and looked behind her, just in time to see Yi Qianhuan.
"Sister-in-law, my brother will be released tomorrow, so you can rest assured and go back to rest first." Yi Qianhuan looked at Bao Hua'er with bloodshot eyes, and her voice sounded even more distressed. "My brother has been tortured these days, and you are not much better. You have lost a lot of weight. When my brother comes out tomorrow, he will definitely come to me to blame me for not taking good care of you."
Bao Huaer, who was originally feeling heavy-hearted, was finally amused by Yi Qianhuan.
She reached out and touched her face, letting out a sigh: "Do I look miserable now?"
"Sister-in-law is so beautiful, she is the best looking no matter what. But you really need to rest. I will stay here, and when brother comes out, take him to bathe and change clothes, and then go to see sister-in-law." Yi Qianhuan could see that the relationship between brother and sister-in-law was extremely good, and brother certainly didn't want to meet sister-in-law in a mess.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Bao Huaer did not refuse. After agreeing to Yi Qianhuan, she returned to her room.
After taking a bath and changing clothes with the help of the maid, Bao Huaer put on new underwear, lay on the bed, closed her eyes and rested.
Although she hadn't slept for several days and nights, Bao Huaer still couldn't fall asleep after lying down.
The moments she had spent with Yi Qianyuan flashed through her mind, and Bao Huaer's heart ached. Then, she was caught off guard by a light laugh in her ears.
