Chapter 649 I'm Just a Bodyguard
When Wen encountered Zong Que's courtyard, it was already night.
Pei Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him coming. "Doctor Wen, the young master..."
Wen Yu walked straight to the bedside, placed his fingers on Zong Que's faint pulse, and after a while asked, "Where are the ginseng slices I asked you to get?"
Pei Ji quickly handed the ginseng he had taken from Renxintang to Wen Yu: "Young Master's high fever has not improved at all. Is this 300-year-old ginseng not good enough? I remember that the Marquis received a reward once before, which was an 800-year-old ginseng. It should still be in the Governor's Mansion's warehouse. I'll go get it."
Wen Yu glanced at him sideways: "His body is more fragile than paper now. Are you planning to finish him off?"
Pei Ji: "..."
Wen Yu stuffed the ginseng slices into Zong Que's mouth, then inserted a gold needle into it: "He is too weak to take tonics. Fortunately, he is tough. Even if he loses too much blood, he won't die. Let him recover slowly!"
After waiting a moment, Wen Yu removed the needle and said, "I'll write a prescription later. Go get the medicine for him tomorrow and let him drink it. Once the fever subsides in a couple of days, he can recover slowly."
Pei Ji responded, then couldn't help but ask, "Can the medicine you're preparing really cure the young master's leg?"
"About 80%," Wen Yu replied.
"What about the remaining 20%?" Pei Ji asked, puzzled. How could there be a 20% difference?
Wen Yu glanced at Zong Que lying on the bed and snorted, "We'll have to ask him about the remaining 20%."
Pei Ji: "..."
This isn't hard to translate; it's just something I made up myself.
Wen Yu got up to leave, but a hand grabbed the hem of her clothes.
Wen Yu looked down and saw that Zong Que had not opened his eyes and his brows were slightly furrowed. He moved his lips, but it took him a while to speak, probably because the ginseng slice in his mouth was in the way. "Are you awake?"
"She's awake, she's fine. There's no aftereffect at all. The Hundred Poison Gu is a life-or-death gamble, but with the Gu Clan's secret techniques, it's not necessarily fatal. It just comes at a price. You couldn't bear to see her suffer, nor did you want her to pay the price, so you took it for her. Have you ever thought about what would happen to her if one day the same thing happened to you?" Wen Yu shook his head.
Zong Que's slightly furrowed brows relaxed as he loosened Wen Yu's clothes, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible: "I will also do my best to live."
I can only live one more day so that I can stay with her for one more day.
With her there, how could he bear to leave?
Hearing this, he remained silent and walked outside.
Pei Ji saw him out.
Wen Yu patted Pei Ji on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't get involved in relationships, it's deadly."
Pei Ji asked thoughtfully, "So you've been single until now?"
Wen Yu almost bit her tongue at his probing question, turning her head in annoyance and disbelief, "That's because I have someone I love, and nothing else matters except Wushan, you don't understand!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Pei Ji: "...Doesn't that just mean they didn't like you?"
Wen Yu twisted his ankle and almost fell.
Pei Ji turned around leisurely and clicked his tongue lightly, "I'm just a bodyguard, what business is it of my getting involved in feelings?"
The long-legged man stepped across the threshold, shook his head, and thought, "I still have a troublesome master."
……
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Lu Yangyang came out feeling extremely hungry, her stomach practically sticking to her back, and her vision was starting to blur.
But Wen Qingqing only fed her a little plain porridge, explaining that she still had a fever and would definitely vomit if she ate too much.
Lu Yangyang could only swallow the white porridge with tears in her eyes, then take her medicine, close her eyes, and fall asleep.
It wasn't until she was almost asleep that she vaguely remembered that the time seemed wrong.
However, the medicine Wen Qingqing gave her contained sedative ingredients, making her head feel dizzy and unable to think clearly.
When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I smelled a rich fragrance.
"Sister, you're finally awake?" Mingxiu quickly walked over and thoughtfully wrung out a handkerchief for her. "Wipe your face first. Is anything bothering you? I'll go call Sister Wen over!"
Lu Yangyang reached out and grabbed her, surprised, "Why did you come here?"
Mingxiu blinked: "I only found out you were back last night. I went to Tiancheng Trading Company to look for you, but you had already left. It was too late, so I didn't come over to bother you. I only came over this morning. Sister Wen said you had a fever and it hadn't gotten better yet, so I waited here. I made you some chicken porridge. Would you like some?"
Lu Yangyang swallowed hard, looked at Mingxiu who was becoming more and more radiant and confident, and waved to her.
Mingxiu leaned closer, and Lu Yangyang hugged her tightly.
"Mingxiu, you are absolutely amazing! Thank you!" Lu Yangyang said.
Mingxiu was taken aback, her face turning red with embarrassment. "I was nervous too, but thankfully I didn't mess things up. Sister, I'm so happy, so very happy."
She was genuinely happy; she hadn't let her sister down.
Lu Yangyang grabbed her hand and stood up from the bed. After a night, she had almost recovered, but... Lu Yangyang staggered.
Mingxiu was extremely worried. "Sister, how are you?"
"It's okay, I'm just hungry. I'll wash up first." Lu Yangyang felt like she could swallow a whole cow right now.
But before she could even finish her second bowl of rice, Wen Qingqing rushed over and told her to eat in two hours.
Lu Yangyang felt her vision blurring, one black spot after another.
She waved her hand weakly, "Never mind, let's go prepare the medicine first. Mingxiu, since you're here, you can help out too!"
The group of teachers taught Mingxiu whenever they had time. Fortunately, Mingxiu was very intelligent, quick to learn and diligent. Although she was still not quite proficient in pulse diagnosis, she was already very familiar with medicinal herbs, prescriptions, and even wound suturing, so she was perfectly capable of assisting.
When the three arrived at Wen Yu's private pharmacy, Wen Yu was already there. Upon seeing Wen Yu, Lu Yangyang vaguely remembered what she wanted to ask yesterday, "When did I wake up yesterday? It doesn't feel like it's been that long?"
The main problem was that she slept too soundly, and something just didn't feel right.
Wen Yu didn't even look up: "You should be grateful that you're still alive and kicking. Qingqing and I have already sorted out all the other medicinal herbs. We can begin."
Lu Yangyang muttered, "Didn't you teach me to record every tiny difference so that it's easy to compare later?"
Wen Yu: "I was so angry with you yesterday that I don't remember."
Lu Yangyang immediately realized she was in the wrong, so she stopped asking questions and began dispensing the medicine for the first time.
She was lucky enough to get a few more fire cicadas, but the Azure Python's venom was only in a small bottle, so she had to use it sparingly. Therefore, the proportions for each dose were very important, and she couldn't think about anything else.
Different medicinal materials require different processing methods and are added at different times, especially highly toxic ones, which must be handled with extreme caution. Therefore, the first batch of medicine took three or four hours to prepare.
Everyone was very excited to see the successfully prepared medicine.
After a whole year, we're finally about to see the results.
