Chapter 285 Extra Sensitive

Every autumn rain brings a chill.

The air seemed to have a tiny blade, cutting everything and making it wither.

Everyone is waiting for the last autumn rain.

The cold winter is ready to come, as if quietly waiting for the girl to bid farewell to her lover in tears, and then it will appear mercilessly.

In the Qiyun Residence of the Huo Mansion, Huo Gannian looked at the thick cup of ashes in his hand with a sad face. Even after mixing it with wine, it still had a fishy smell that stung his eyes.

Yun Chen stood aside with a handkerchief, ready to rush over and cover his mouth at any time, and coaxed:

"Ah Nian, 'A gentleman's consumption can prolong his life.' Brother Ye Yan and the others have already eaten, and you're the only one left. Isn't that a waste of Taoist Guanxu's kindness? Be obedient and don't be afraid of vomiting. It's okay if you vomit. I'll cover it up with a handkerchief!"

Huo Gannian's eyes were filled with resentment, "Chen'er, you will always treat me so well."

After saying that, he frowned, pinched his nose, picked up the elephant ashes and drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as he made the sound of "vomit", Yun Chen rushed over and covered his mouth tightly with a handkerchief, forcing him to swallow back the gurgling of his internal organs.

I don’t know if it’s because I ate too much, or if the ashes are a little expired.

After Huo Gannian drank a full glass of wine mixed with ashes, he soon fell into a deep sleep and slept for seven or eight hours without waking up.

Yun Chen was a little unsure, so he quickly asked the court doctor to come and take care of Huo Gannian. He also called Ye Yan, Hua Jue and Buyan to help take care of Huo Gannian.

It’s a pity that the court doctor’s medical skills are limited and he can’t see anything.

Ye Yan suggested, "Why don't we ask for Doctor Xu from the Imperial Hospital? I heard that before joining the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Xu had been traveling extensively practicing medicine. He's knowledgeable and can treat a wide range of difficult and complicated illnesses."

Yun Chen thought it was worth a try and said:

"Go quietly and don't alert others."

Although he had not been in Kyoto for the past two years, he could still vividly remember the days when he was repeatedly assassinated by enemies from all sides.

If others knew that Huo Gannian suddenly fell into a coma, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, over the years, as the Huo Gang grew richer and stronger, the enemies just became less and less confident to take action, but not all of them were dead.

Without mentioning his good martial arts skills and fast running speed, he asked to go find Doctor Xu.

Less than half an hour later, before it got dark, Buyan came hurriedly, half supporting and half dragging an old man.

Doctor Xu's legs moved so fast that he didn't even have time to catch his breath. As soon as he entered the room, Hua Jue pulled him to Huo Gannian's bedside:

"Imperial Physician, please take a look at my young master!"

Fortunately, Ye Yan was there, so there was still someone reliable in the room. He moved a stool and served tea to Doctor Xu. After Doctor Xu calmed down, he asked someone to take Huo Gannian's pulse.

Doctor Xu placed his fingers on Huo Gannian's wrist, smacked his lips, and the first sentence he said scared Yun Chen so much that he almost fell to his knees:

"It's cold."

Ye Yan and the others' expressions changed.

Doctor Xu gasped, "The wine is too cold. On the way here, I heard from the guards that General Huo fell into a coma after drinking wine mixed with elephant ashes. I never thought the legend of the python swallowing elephant bones was true. It's truly a rare treasure."

However, the Basai snake belongs to Earth Fire, while the elephant bone belongs to Yang Fire. After being burned to ash, the Yang energy is intensified, so it should be taken with warm wine. However, the wine that General Huo drank was too cold, which disturbed the Yang energy and disrupted the balance of Yin and Yang, causing him to fall into a coma.

The room was filled with the sound of people beating their chests and sighing. Doctor Xu chuckled and said,

"It's okay. General Huo is young and strong, and his yang energy is strong. Once the cold alcohol in his body is digested, he will be fine and will wake up in three days at most."

With Doctor Xu's words, Yun Chen and others felt much more at ease.

After the consultation, Doctor Xu did not ask for any consultation fee, but only asked for a small bottle of elephant ashes in a flattering manner.

Yun Chen filled a large bottle for Doctor Xu from the sack. When Doctor Xu saw that the ashes of the Basheqinyuxiang, which were so precious that they were almost divine, were placed in a sack so casually, his jaw dropped in shock.

Bu Yan warmly put his arm around Doctor Xu's shoulders and said, "Doctor Xu, it's said that taking elephant ashes can prolong life. What are the specific benefits? Can you tell us? Since we're all eating elephant ash dumplings, can they also help us stay healthy?"

When he heard the phrase "ashes dumplings", Doctor Xu's expression was filled with horror and admiration. He said:

"This Bashe-infused Jade Elephant ashes has existed only in myths and legends since ancient times, and no one knows for sure what its effects are."

He shrugged indifferently and withdrew his hand, then heard Doctor Xu gasping again:

"But since the myth is true, then the effects described in the myth may also be true. It is said that taking elephant bone ash can, firstly, strengthen the body, make it immune to all poisons, and heal any injury or illness, even broken bones; secondly, it can prolong life and delay aging; thirdly, and most importantly—"

Doctor Xu paused as he spoke, almost fainting from holding his breath.

Doctor Xu tucked a large bottle of elephant ashes into his arms and said to Ye Yan, Hua Jue and Buyan with a smile:

"The most important thing is that it can nourish the kidneys and strengthen the essence, which can make the sky stand firm."

When he heard about nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the essence, Ye Yan covered Yun Chen's ears with his sleeves.

Hua Jue and Buyan did not expect that Doctor Xu, at his age, would speak so bluntly, with an attitude of a fearless doctor. They blushed, but they were obviously more excited.

There is no way. Since ancient times, men have been excited as soon as they heard the words "tonify the kidney".

After seeing off Doctor Xu and knowing that Huo Gannian was not seriously injured, Ye Yan immediately took Hua Jue and Buyan and retreated.

Just like when he was a guard before, the task of taking care of Huo Gannian fell on Yun Chen alone.

She lay beside him, holding her face, crossing her legs, and looked at him with a smile for a long time.

She stretched out her fingers and gently touched his handsome eyebrows, his thick eyelashes like small fans, touched his high nose bridge, and slid towards the corners of his beautiful lips.

She pinched his nose mischievously, trying to see if he would wake up from holding it in, but she couldn't help but let go halfway and laughed secretly.

It's rare to see him sleeping so obediently and letting others do whatever they want, especially on this "big bed". This is the first time I've seen him so honest.

She couldn't help but feel playful, sometimes scratching his face with her hair, sometimes scratching his waist.

After playing enough, she kissed his lips, then lay on his chest, hugged him gently, and sighed with satisfaction:

"Ah Nian, I love you so much."

"Chen'er, I love you too."

He couldn't say this answer out loud, but that didn't stop Huo Gannian from saying it solemnly and loudly in his heart.

Although Doctor Xu was knowledgeable, he had never seen the legendary Bashe Qinyuxiang ashes, so all his diagnoses were based on what was said in ancient books.

So no one knew that Huo Gannian had actually woken up a long time ago, but he just couldn't move his body or make any sound.

He could feel the yin and yang energies rising in his body, and it really felt like the cold wine was gradually melting.

Although he couldn't speak or move, he could hear every word Yun Chen said clearly.

And because it was so quiet and focused, with no one or anything around to disturb him, his sense of touch seemed to become... extra sensitive.
