Insiders see the subtleties. After Doctor Ding removed two needles, he addressed the onlookers, "All right, the person will be fine for now. Let's wait and see until the medicine is administered."
Su Jian still had needles on his stomach and waist. Upon hearing this, he asked, "What do you mean by 'wait and see'?"
Originally skeptical about Su Jian's recovery, his dubious friends saw that he could actually speak and partly relaxed, now curiously watching Doctor Ding.
Doctor Ding hesitated for a moment and then said, "An intestinal abscess… one can indeed treat it with decoctions, but for acute cases like the Young Duke's, it's often a severe intestinal abscess. Therefore, we need to clear the intestines and expel pus. Doctor Zhou Junior used acupuncture to regulate the meridian energy and facilitate discharge, which is an excellent therapy. With medicine, this should be effective. Administer for a decade, using needles every other day, and it should heal."
