The old doctor nodded calmly, "Correct, we agree, but it will take a while for him to wake up."

Gu Xinran wondered when she and the old doctor became close friends.

Master Dou was now truly relieved. He hurriedly ordered the servants to bring the bed and carefully carry the old lady back to her room.

Gu Xinran and the other two returned to the central hall, this time enjoying VIP treatment. The table was filled with fragrant tea and snacks, and there was a butler waiting outside the door, ready to come at any time.

After a while, the old doctor came hurriedly, eager to appreciate Gu Xinran's miracle medicine.

He agreed to show it to others. Gu Xinran generously took out a jade bottle and handed it to him. There was only a super-quality ginseng and antler pill in it.

The old doctor took the jade bottle with both hands and opened the cap carefully. A rich scent of ginseng and antlers spread out. He took a breath and felt refreshed instantly. He immediately covered the bottle.

He said in a trembling voice, "Without thousand-year-old ginseng, you can't make this top-grade ginseng and antler pill! No wonder the old lady's illness has improved. I've really learned a lot today. My last name is Zhang. What's yours, young friend? Can you spare me this pill?"

Gu Xinran hesitated in her heart. It would be better not to let this super-quality ginseng and antler pill that could save lives leak out. It would be a crime to possess such a treasure. She was still too weak now.

He spoke awkwardly, "Excuse me, Doctor Zhang, I'm really sorry, but I only have this one pill left. If it's not urgently needed to save your life, I can't transfer it."

Doctor Zhang was unhappy. The medicine had him itching for more, but he couldn't lie. He struggled a little, "Can I offer a high price? Five thousand taels!"

This was all the money he could come up with, and it was his greatest sincerity.

When Duan Yunchi heard the price, he shuddered in his heart and secretly praised his cousin for her deep affection for him and his uncle.

This priceless treasure, one gives four pills, at this price a bottle is worth twenty thousand taels! I secretly swore in my heart that I must help Ranran make more money in the future and treat her better.

Such a high price made Gu Xinran's heart beat fast. One pill was worth a big manor outside the city.

How many large manors has she given away?

However, I still can't agree to it. If this medicine leaks out, it will bring me into big trouble.

Gu Xinran was three parts helpless and seven parts apologetic. "Doctor Zhang, I'm so sorry. It's not about the money. I'm saving it for my life."

At this time, Nanny Li came to ask the two of them to come and say that the lady had woken up and Tutor Dou asked two doctors to see the patient.

Gu Xinran, who had something to ask for help, asked Duan Yunchi and Xuanxuan to wait patiently. She obediently followed Doctor Zhang to visit the old lady.

As I walked into the bedroom door, I saw from afar that Master Dou was sitting by the bed in a good mood, holding his old wife's hand and talking softly.

The old lady was too mentally exhausted to communicate properly, so she responded with a wink and a smile.

The interaction between the two was really heartwarming. Gu Xinran thought to herself that this must be the most beautiful form of love. She hoped that when she and Xiao Mingzhan grew old, they could still support each other like them.

Seeing the two of them coming, Master Dou gave up his seat at the head of the bed, ignored Doctor Zhang, and smiled kindly at Gu Xinran.

"Little doctor, come and see how my wife is doing now?"

Gu Xinran felt quite ashamed. How could she deserve the title of miracle doctor? She smiled sheepishly and said, "Master Dou, please stop making fun of me. Just call me Gu Gu Niang, or Ran girl is fine too.

I only know a little bit about medicine, but I just happen to have two life-saving pills. Doctor Zhang is a truly amazing doctor."

Dou Taifu glanced at his old friend and complained to Gu Xinran, "He is a quack. A few days ago, he said that my wife was seriously ill and on the verge of a stroke. There was no medicine to cure her, only palliative care."

Doctor Zhang withdrew his hand from taking the girl's pulse and jumped up in anger. "My former chief imperial physician, is he the kind of person who would talk nonsense? You don't realize how much you took advantage of this little girl, do you?"

The medicine that my sister-in-law took was a top-grade pill made from thousand-year-old ginseng.

I offered her the remaining one, five thousand taels, but it still didn't move her. She refused to give it to me."

It was obvious that the two old people had a deep affection for each other and were just joking. Gu Xinran took the time to help Mrs. Dou take her pulse.

The kind-looking old lady gave her a weak smile, looking more like her grandmother in her previous life.

After hearing what his old friend said, Grand Tutor Dou was deeply shocked. This Miss Gu was no ordinary person. As a Grand Tutor, he had never seen such a good medicine before, and yet she had two of them.

As long as my wife is well, I will owe them a favor. I will see what they want later. As long as it is something I can do and is in accordance with etiquette and law, I will definitely help them.

After Gu Xinran finished taking her pulse, he said solemnly: "Thank you, Miss Gu, for the medicine. I owe you a favor."

Gu Xinran was overjoyed. Xuanxuan's apprenticeship was settled, but now was not the time to bring up this matter.

She said meekly, "I do have something I'd like to trouble Master Dou with, but it's not urgent. The most important thing is to see the lady."

Dou Taifu nodded, calm and composed, and looked at her with a higher regard.

Doctor Zhang carefully took the old lady's pulse again and discussed her condition with Gu Xinran.

She felt guilty. She didn't expect that Doctor Zhang was such a powerful person. He was once the chief imperial physician. Isn't that better than Doctor Ling?

She didn't dare to show off her knowledge, so she could only speak out her humble opinion, "The pulse is slightly deep but steady. This catastrophe is over. Doctor Zhang, am I right?

With your care later on, I should be able to recover about 80% without any problems."

Doctor Zhang stroked his sparse beard, pursed his lips and nodded, "Young lady, you are absolutely right. I can only recover 80% of my condition at best, and there is a possibility of relapse later. If you have any good prescriptions or miraculous medicines, I hope you will share them with me."

After saying that, he bowed to her.

Gu Xinran quickly stood up to return the greeting. She just had the spiritual spring water to cheat, how could she be compared with these seniors who had been immersed in traditional Chinese medicine for decades!

"I'm not worthy of your guidance, my dear friend. You're doing me a disservice. I only know the basics of medicine. But I have some immature suggestions, which I'd like to share with you for your reference only."

Turning to look at the old lady's kind face, she spoke softly, "Your diet should be light, with less salt and oil, and you should eat more soy products and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Usually, let the maids and old women take more walks under their care, and it is also good to exercise appropriately. Of course, regular rest is also important.

If you can trust me, a little girl, I can try to make some life-extending pills for the old lady using Chinese herbs such as angelica, ginseng, and astragalus."

The three of them's eyes lit up after hearing this. What a great thing! This medicine is only heard of in legends. This girl is so good!

Doctor Zhang even suspected that she was a disciple of a hermit master.

Dou Taifu nodded repeatedly, "I believe it, I definitely believe it. Please Miss Gu, I will follow your advice."

Imperial Physician Zhang was very much looking forward to Gu Xinran's life-extending pills. "When you prepare them, you must show them to me."

The old lady on the bed also uttered two words with difficulty, "Thank you... Thank you..."
