Chapter 99: Traveling to the Ancient Times to Open a Clinic 13: Escape from Danger

The King of Wei was seriously ill this time. Before going to Anrong to pick up Shen Qian, Gu Jingxing had consulted more than ten doctors for him, but they all shook their heads. The military doctor who followed him also said that the case was difficult.

With wind-cold and chest pain, it is difficult for three or four out of ten people to survive this symptom.

Gu Jingxing naturally couldn't let the King of Wei die on the way to disaster relief. He also knew that Chen Qian opened a clinic in Anrong and practiced medicine, and his medical skills were excellent. So he hoped to give it a try and went to Anrong to ask for help.

No one expected that General Gu actually brought back a female doctor from Anrong, and this female doctor only took one night to bring the dying King Wei back from the brink of death.

Doctor Liu who was accompanying him found it unbelievable. Before General Gu brought his men back, he was the one who was responsible for taking care of King Wei. Judging from King Wei's pulse, he had at most two days to live. His cold was extremely serious, and even a miracle doctor would be unable to save him.

Unexpectedly, this female doctor looked young but was very skilled. It was said that she gave acupuncture and prescribed medicine all night long. After one night, the King of Wei really got better under her treatment.

Whether it's his complexion, breathing, or pulse, it all shows that he has survived the brink of death. Now he just needs to take good medication and he will definitely recover.

When he was expressing his feelings about this to others, the adjutant who was serving General Gu couldn't help but express his feelings as well.

"Who said it wasn't true? After this doctor came, he not only cured the King of Wei, but also directly reprimanded General Gu and told him to go back to his room to rest. You don't even know that I was outside at the time and was almost scared to death. Who do you think has our master been reprimanded by? Even the emperor... cough cough, anyway, this newly arrived doctor Shen is amazing."

"Yes, General Gu also had a high fever yesterday, but he refused to let me see him or take medicine. He even rode for a long time. I even forgot to ask him today. How is he doing?"

The adjutant quickly said, "With Doctor Shen here, the general is much better after treatment, and his fever has subsided."

Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

The most frightening thing for a doctor is to encounter a patient like Gu Jingxing, who has a stubborn temper, refuses to listen to advice, and is headstrong and insists on doing things his own way.

He dared to ride a horse for several hours despite dragging his sick body. Anyone else would definitely not be able to hold on.

Fortunately, this female doctor was very skilled in medicine and... had a bad temper. She was able to intimidate the general with just one angry shout.

When Shen Qian woke up, she didn't even know that she had become famous in the post station.

She had treated two severe cold patients last night, one of whom was in critical condition. She also dared to reprimand General Gu in person and convinced him. Now, after she simply washed up and walked out of the room, everyone looked at her with admiration.

Shen Qian knocked on the door and entered Gu Jingxing's room.

Gu Jingxing was reading a report. When he saw her come in, he said, "Are you awake? You worked hard last night. I asked my servants to prepare some food for you. The conditions at the post station are limited, so I may have to inconvenience you for a while."

Shen Qian: "Don't worry, there is something I need your help with."

"you say."

"The King of Wei is a noble man, so I naturally have to stay and take care of him. However, I also have many patients in Anrong's Jimin Hall who need to be taken care of. Can someone help me send a letter back? I recently asked a foreigner to buy a batch of medicinal herbs. My maids can diagnose pulses and decoct medicine, but they don't know the usage and prescriptions of foreign herbs. Please send this letter back for me and tell them how to use the herbs without me."

Gu Jingxing didn't expect that she was still thinking about An Rong's illness even though she was so far away. He looked at her thoughtfully and asked, "Is An Rong suffering from a severe cold recently?"

"Yes, it's very serious, and we've been out of medicine for a long time." Shen Qian replied.

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver the letter for you right away. Also, some of the herbs we delivered this time were originally going to be sent to Anrong for you. Since you need to deliver the letter, I'll have someone deliver it as well."

Chen Qian was a little surprised and quickly followed him out to check and count the medicinal materials.

“Miss Shen, this is the list of medicinal materials.”

Shen Qian took the list from the steward and checked it one by one.

It has to be said that the batch of medicinal herbs sent by Gu Jingxing are all top-quality medicinal herbs for treating colds. They are of high quality and in large quantities.

Shen Qian handed the letter and list to the steward: "Give them all to my maid."

With Ling Yuan and Cui Liu around, Chen Qian was not worried about Jimin Hall. Most of the patients who came to see the doctor recently were suffering from colds. Except for the critically ill patients with serious complications, they could handle ordinary patients.

She also explained in the letter that if the patient was seriously ill, they would have to go to another hospital. Without her, they would not be able to give acupuncture and would have difficulty treating the patient.

Seeing the steward driving away in the carriage, Shen Qian felt relieved.

Shen Qian turned around and glanced at Gu Jingxing who was standing next to him: "Let's go back to your room first."

Gu Jingxing thought she had something else to discuss, so he followed her into his room.

"General, please sit down. I will check your pulse again."

Gu Jingxing remembered that he had previously told her to just call him "brother" outside, but she seemed to have forgotten and continued to call him "General" like everyone else. I'm afraid she really doesn't want to have anything to do with the Gu family anymore. His tone was a little colder, "No need, my fever has gone down, I'm much better now."

The reason why Shen Qian dared to speak to Gu Jingxing like that last night was mainly because the situation was urgent. On the one hand, he had to complete the last diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to redeem the reward from the system. On the other hand, it was indeed because Gu Jingxing's pulse was not good. Knowing that he had a high fever and had been riding a horse in the cold for so long, he was anxious and yelled at him.

At this moment, the status of the two men was worlds apart. Chen Qian didn't dare to act like he did last night. He could only say, "If the cold can't be cured, it might cause trouble. The general doesn't want to be trapped by this cold for too long."

Gu Jingxing finally gave up and sat down next to her, stretched out his wrist, closed his eyes and waited.

Shen Qian placed his fingers on his wrist. The acupuncture last night had a good effect. Combined with the decoction, he started sweating and the fever subsided. However, the symptoms had only turned from severe to mild. If he continued to work as hard as he did last night, I'm afraid the disease would recur.

But given Gu Jingxing's personality, I'm afraid he won't be able to rest.

After Shen Qian traveled to this world, she did not have much contact with her ex-husband's elder brother. In the few interactions they had, she inexplicably felt that he was very stubborn and was the type of patient that doctors disliked the most.

After thinking about it, Shen Qian decided to give him acupuncture directly, continue to use acupuncture to open up the meridians, and supplement with decoctions to make his symptoms develop faster. In this way, even if he committed suicide in the middle of the process, the symptoms would not become more serious.

"I'll give you acupuncture first, then prescribe some medicine for you to take. Try not to overwork during this time, and especially avoid catching a cold."

Gu Jingxing raised his eyelids and looked at her, with a look of doubt in his eyes, as if he was questioning whether it was really necessary for her to give him another injection.

But for some reason, he still compromised, unzipped his clothes, and lay down on the bed: "Thank you very much."

Shen Qian had prepared a lot of speeches, but none of them were used. Gu Jingxing was unusually cooperative, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.

After Shen Qian finished acupuncture, he wrote a prescription for him, had someone boil the medicine and send it to him, and then went to continue taking care of the eldest prince, Prince Wei.

Afterwards, Shen Qian asked the servants several more times, and they all said that General Gu drank all the medicine that was sent over without saying a word.

Shen Qian nodded with satisfaction, but she didn't expect that this cold-faced general would actually cooperate with the treatment.

The King of Wei's condition was a bit tricky, but the most difficult and dangerous period had passed. All that was left was regular acupuncture every day and constant adjustment of medication according to his condition.

Fortunately, this time they brought all kinds of medicines.

Shen Qian naturally couldn't sit idle as she only had to take care of these two patients. The inn was full of people brought by Gu Jingxing, most of whom were his subordinates. When Shen Qian heard someone coughing, she simply asked someone to call everyone over and she took their pulse one by one.

"You've also caught a cold, so don't be on duty for the time being. If you have a cough, try to avoid people or wear a cloth on your face to avoid infecting more people."

"You are currently running a fever. Go lie down immediately and don't walk around anymore."

"You are almost recovered, but it is better to take two more doses of medicine to consolidate your recovery."

Their group passed through an epidemic area, and even the general and the King of Wei caught a cold. How could others be spared?

After Shen Qian had examined the medicine for everyone and given all the instructions, he wrote out a prescription and had people boil the medicine and have all the sick people drink it.

Someone reported this to the general, and Gu Jingxing didn't object and let her do what she wanted.

The King of Wei was in a coma at the post station for only three days before he woke up. Although he was still a little weak, he felt that he was gradually recovering.

Although he was mature at a young age due to his background, and he tried his best to do something for the people this time, he was still an underage prince after all. When facing life and death, all he thought about was his deceased mother.

The humble palace maid was promoted to a low-ranking concubine after being favored. She finally became pregnant and gave birth to him, but she was bedridden for many years due to a serious illness and eventually passed away.

At that time, he always hoped that he could behave better and be more favored by his father, so that he could visit his mother more often and let the imperial physician treat her more often.

It’s a pity that this humble wish has never been fulfilled.

When the King of Wei was in a coma, he was thinking whether he would be like his mother, unable to accomplish anything he wanted to do, and eventually passing away from a serious illness.

Unexpectedly, after he opened his eyes, he saw a young female doctor taking care of him. Seeing that he had regained consciousness, she comforted him, "You're awake? Don't talk yet. I'm giving you an injection. Just bear with me for a while."

After waiting for the acupuncture to be completed, the King of Wei's first words were to confirm with her: "I'm not dead?"

Shen Qian: “…”

Did the King of Wei have a fever that damaged his brain?

It shouldn’t be that serious.

She was somewhat confident in her medical skills and touched his forehead to confirm.

"Your fever has just subsided, and you're still very weak. It's normal if you feel dizzy or weak in your limbs. You're not dead, Your Highness the Prince of Wei. You're out of danger."

This was probably the most beautiful sentence the young prince had ever heard. He was not dead, he was out of danger.

That’s great, he doesn’t want to die at all!

After the female doctor left, the King of Wei sent someone to call General Gu and asked him in detail about what happened during the time he was sick and unconscious.

Gu Jingxing told him not to worry about the disaster area, as he had already sent people there to deal with the issue of food distribution, and the gang that had previously robbed the food was also under investigation.

In fact, the King of Wei was not asking about the disaster area. He quickly interrupted and asked, "Did you find the female doctor who took care of me just now?"

"Yes, she's someone I knew before. She's a skilled doctor. Don't worry, she's trustworthy."

Gu Jingxing thought that King Wei was worried about Shen Qian's background, so he explained.

"General Gu, this time... it's a good thing we have you. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would have already..." King Wei sighed.
