"My wife has had a headache all day. Could you ask your sister, the renowned healer, to take a look and see what's wrong?" the gatekeeper pleaded.
Her wife's headaches had persisted for many years.
"I'll put in a good word for you. If Xiaoyan has time, she'll help," Qin Susu said with a smile.
"Really? Thank you very much."
Turning her head, Qin Susu saw Qiu Yan, and Ling Qi and Ling Ba behind her. She quickly moved away from the three men and walked towards Qiu Yan.
"Xiaoyan, is everything ready?"
"That's about it." Qiu Yan went straight into the courtyard.
Qin Susu followed Qiu Yan's steps, and Ling Qi and Ling Ba followed silently.
The two officials and the gatekeeper resumed their usual behavior.
This time, instead of stopping Ling Qi and Ling Ba, the two officers actually stepped forward and greeted them.
"Young heroes, please!"
Prefect Xie had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Qiu Yan enter the courtyard with Ling Qi and Ling Ba,
He merely frowned slightly, then hurriedly stepped forward and said urgently:
"Miss Qiu, you've finally come. My son is in unbearable pain and is on the verge of collapse."
Qiu Yan could see that Prefect Xie was anxious, but what she needed to do at that moment was...
"I need to prepare the medicine for your son first."
"Didn't you say we needed to cut off the ulcerated area? Why do we need to decoct medicine?" Prefect Xie asked, puzzled.
Qiu Yan explained:
"What I'm going to prepare is not an ordinary medicine, but a numbing powder, which can relieve your pain, young master."
To avoid making it difficult for Prefect Xie to understand, Qiu Yan tried her best to explain clearly.
Upon hearing this, Prefect Xie exclaimed, "Excellent!"
He had been hesitating about this all morning because of Qiu Yan's cruel treatment methods.
He feared his son would die from the pain, but he had no other choice.
Unexpectedly, there is a medicine in the world called Mafeisan.
Not only Qin Susu, but even Ling Qi and Ling Ba were all surprised after hearing this.
"Please trouble Lord Xie to have some more wine prepared and sent to your son's bedroom," Qiu Yan added.
"Okay, I'll take care of it myself."
Prefect Xie was in a hurry to leave. Before leaving, he waved to summon the steward of the manor and took Qiu Yan to the manor's kitchen.
Half an hour later, the medicine was ready.
During this time, because Qin Susu was craving food, Qiu Yan and the other three had a simple lunch under the care of the servants of the Xie family.
After the medicine was prepared, Qiu Yan went to Young Master Xie's bedroom immediately, and Qin Susu, wanting to help Qiu Yan, followed closely behind.
At Young Master Xie's bedroom, Prefect Xie had been waiting for a long time.
Qiu Yan and Qin Susu entered the bedroom, while Ling Qi and Ling Ba stood guard outside the door.
On the bed, Young Master Xie lay weakly at an angle, still curled up.
He was in so much pain that he fainted; he did not fall asleep.
Qiu Yan walked towards Young Master Xie and placed the bowl of anesthetic powder in front of him.
"Thank you, young master."
She called out softly, and Young Master Xie opened his eyes slightly, "Miss Doctor, you've arrived."
Qiu Yan nodded and continued:
"First, drink this bowl of medicine with some strong liquor."
At the same time, Qin Susu brought over a bowl of strong liquor.
Although Young Master Xie was somewhat puzzled, he nodded silently.
He did whatever the female doctor told him to do.
He tilted his head back and drank the strong liquor and anesthetic in one gulp. "Girl, go easy on me."
After he finished speaking, Young Master Xie felt a sudden dizziness.
In a daze, he realized that the strong liquor seemed to alleviate his pain.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt much," Qiu Yan said with a gentle smile.
"Is there any more wine?" Young Master Xie smiled, Qiu Yan's smile putting him at ease.
