After cutting open the wound, she used a clean towel to stop the bleeding and was able to see the arrowhead clearly. It indeed had a barb.
With steady hands, he cut a few more times and took out the arrowhead. After repeatedly washing it with spiritual spring water, Qin Nian sutured the wound.
When it was finally over, King Xuan's clothes were soaked with sweat, and his lips were pale, without a trace of blood.
Qin Nian took the opportunity to let him drink another large glass of spiritual spring water.
She looked at Li Hetai and said, "Doctor Li, I don't have any anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicine, and I don't know how to prescribe one. I'll leave the rest to you."
Li Hetai was full of admiration for Qin Nian's calmness and superb medical skills. He nodded rapidly:
"Okay, leave the rest to me. Leave it to me."
He had a lot of good medicine, and he immediately applied it to King Xuan's wound and wrapped it with white cloth.
"Miss Qin, how do you think I compare to Guan Gong?"
Qin Nian smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Your Highness is just like Guan Gong, a true hero."
After saying this, Qin Nian prepared to leave.
King Xuan looked at her and said, "Miss Qin, thank you for treating my injury. In addition to the medical fee, don't you need any other thank you gift?"
If you need anything, just ask.”
King Xuan’s meaning was very clear, as long as Qin Nian asked, he would give him whatever he wanted.
Qin Nian shook his head: "Just pay the consultation fee, nothing else."
She is not greedy, she just wants what she deserves.
This little girl, with her thorny hairpin and cloth skirt, was not greedy. King Xuan's eyes were full of approval.
With a wave of his hand, Mo Yue handed over the silver notes he had prepared with both hands. One note was worth one hundred taels of silver, and there were ten notes in total, worth one thousand taels of silver.
Qin Nian said: "It won't take so much."
King Xuan said, "You have treated my wounds, so this is not much, young lady, please accept it."
Hearing King Xuan say this, Qin Nian didn't want to be overly polite and took the banknote.
She was about to leave when King Xuan suddenly spoke again: "Miss Qin, if you want any other reward, just ask."
He still wanted to give her something more.
Qin Nian looked at him and spoke slowly after a while: "Your Highness Xuan Wang, if possible, I hope to give more relief food to the victims.
Because of the drought, the people here haven't had a full meal for several years and are in serious health.
Three kilograms of cornmeal per person per month is really too little.
Your Highness, if my request is excessive, just ignore it."
“Not too much.”
King Xuan did not hesitate and immediately replied: "Starting from next month, each person will receive six kilograms of cornmeal per month."
Qin Nian was overjoyed and bowed to King Xuan with a smile: "On behalf of the people of this area, I thank His Majesty King Xuan."
King Xuan smiled and said, "Miss Qin, if you have a chance someday, tell me the story of Guan Gong."
Qin Nian nodded.
Mo Yue escorted her out, "Miss Qin, I'll take you back to the village."
Qin Nian shook his head: "It's past the middle of the Yin hour now, the city gates are open, I can go back by myself."
"King Xuan has ordered me to send the girl back."
Qin Nian said: "Go and tell King Xuan that I will go back by myself. It will not attract other people's attention and will be safer."
Mo Yue thought about it and felt that what Qin Nian said made sense, "Then go slowly, girl."
"Miss Qin, wait a moment."
Li Hetai caught up with Qin Nian and clasped his fists towards her: "Miss Qin, I have something I want to ask you."
"You say."
"Miss Qin, when you were treating King Xuan's injuries, you asked him to drink several large glasses of water. May I ask what the purpose of this was?"
What is the effect? Then the spiritual spring water, Qin Nian hopes to cure the poison in King Xuan's body.
But she wasn't sure whether she could solve it or not. Even if she could, she couldn't say it, otherwise she would have to reveal many things.
Li Hetai and Mo Yue both looked at her, one with anticipation, the other with curiosity.
Qin Nian smiled, said nothing, and turned and left.
It was June, and the morning air was very fresh. The hawkers were calling out on both sides of the street.
Qin Nian smiled like a flower when she thought of the 1,000 taels of silver in her arms that she had earned through her own ability.
She took out a small piece of silver from the space, bought twenty meat buns, and carried them back to the village.
Qin Nian entered the door of her house, followed by her protectors. She hurried back to the post station to report to King Xuan.
Although Qin Nian could "disappear" in an instant, Mrs. Li was still worried.
Seeing Qin Nian return safely, he was so happy.
Qin Nian took out the banknote and gave it to Granny Li: "Grandma, King Xuan gave me one thousand taels of silver for the consultation fee."
"One thousand taels of silver?"
Mrs. Li has lived for most of her life and has never thought about having one thousand taels of silver.
She asked in disbelief, and then asked again: "Give one thousand taels of silver?"
Qin Nian nodded, smiled and put the banknotes into Li Pozi's hands: "Grandma, these are all yours."
Mrs. Li recovered and put the banknote back into Qin Nian's hand: "In our house, the only place to hide money is the cabinet on the kang.
The padlock was also knocked off by that beast Li Dahua.
You should keep all these banknotes. I will feel relieved if you keep them."
Qin Nian put the banknotes away and threw them into the space when Mrs. Li was not paying attention.
"Grandma, I'm helping King Xuan with his injuries. You can't tell anyone outside except Geng Feng and the others. Please remember this."
Mrs. Li nodded: "Don't worry, I won't tell."
"Grandma, our house is too run-down. Now that I have some money, I want to renovate it."
Mrs. Li shook her head slightly, looked at Qin Nian and said, "You and Geng Feng are engaged.
In two years at most, she will get married. This house is big enough for grandma to live in alone.
Life is long, so keep the money for your daily life."
Qin Nian held onto Granny Li’s shoulders and said, “Grandma, you are my only relative. When Geng Feng and I get married, I will not abandon you.
This will always be my home. I will go home every day and live with my grandma. "
Mrs. Li had never thought that Qin Nian had such a plan. She was so excited that she cried, then laughed, and then cried again.
After breakfast, Geng Feng came over and called Qin Nian, wanting to go up the mountain together.
Qin Nian recounted what happened last night when he went to treat King Xuan's injuries, and told Geng Feng not to tell anyone else to avoid causing trouble.
Geng Feng nodded in agreement, told Qin Nian to get some sleep at home, and then he went up the mountain alone.
After a while, the head of the village announced in the village that the relief grain would continue to be distributed today, and those who had not received it should hurry to the county town to get it.
The head of the village also informed that King Xuan had ordered that starting from next month, each person would be given six kilograms of cornmeal per month.
The hungry people were all happy and ran around telling each other the news. No one knew that last night, a little girl stood in front of King Xuan and first saved King Xuan with her superb medical skills, and then made this request for everyone.
Li Hetai, the doctor who attended King Xuan, was no worse than any other physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and his anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicines were very effective.
At dawn, after Qin Nian left, King Xuan, who was extremely tired, fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, it was already dusk and the sunset covered the sky.
Li Hetai observed King Xuan very carefully and found that the black air on King Xuan's face had dissipated.
Li Hetai frowned, attracting King Xuan's attention.
