No, since she foresaw it, we can't let it happen.
Thinking of this, she instantly perked up, pushed open the door, and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.
Phoenix City is far from the capital. It is said that the city lord has some connection with the emperor, so the city lord can make all the decisions about Phoenix City.
Right now, she needs to find the city lord and tell him about the problems Phoenix City is about to face, so that he can prepare as soon as possible.
As she pondered these things, she arrived at the city lord's mansion. The guards at the gate approached and inquired:
"Young lady, what can I do for you?"
"I wish to see the city lord."
"The city lord is busy with official duties. If you don't have anything urgent, you should go back!"
"I have something very urgent to do, please make an exception for me, brother."
As she spoke, she slipped a piece of silver into the guard's hand.
"I'm in a real hurry, please make an exception."
After hesitating for a moment, the guard clenched the loose silver coins tightly, then nodded.
"Alright, please wait a moment, young lady..."
Watching the guards enter the city lord's mansion, Luo Zhiwan began to plan what to say when she met the city lord later...
A moment later, the guard came out and shook his head at her regretfully.
"I'm sorry, young lady, the city lord is busy right now and may not have time to see you. Otherwise... you can come another day."
"But it will be too late another day. Please go and tell the city lord that I am in a real hurry."
The guard shook his head regretfully.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a gatekeeper guard. I can only relay messages and have no right to make demands of the city lord. Otherwise, I'll return the silver to you..."
Luo Zhiwan breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand.
"I'll give you the silver to buy tea."
After saying that, she turned around with a furrowed brow, looked down at the ground, and pondered how she could see the city lord.
Suddenly, she heard a loud 'bang' and bumped right into someone.
She was about to look up and question him when she found that he had collapsed onto her like a wilted eggplant. If she hadn't been strong, she would have been pinned to the ground by this man.
She stared in astonishment at the man in white before her, muttering to herself.
"Hey, are you trying to scam me in broad daylight? That's way too blatant!"
But the man didn't respond to her; his body was still convulsing. When she turned to look at his face, she found that he was foaming at the mouth.
Could it be that she was so strong that this person couldn't withstand the impact and she caused him internal injuries?
However, she immediately shook her head and rejected the idea. It was absolutely impossible. He was a living, breathing person. How could he be injured just from a bump?
Based on her years of medical experience, she concluded that the man was most likely suffering from epilepsy.
Thinking of this, she quickly helped him up, gently laid him down on the ground, and then began to unbutton his collar...
"How dare you! What are you doing?"
The guard who had been guarding the gate called out, and then someone ran out of the city lord's mansion. Immediately afterward, an old woman led the mansion's servants out quickly.
The old woman stepped forward, pulled Luo Zhiwan up, knelt before the man with heartache, supported his body, and kept calling to him.
"Xun'er, Xun'er, wake up! Don't scare your grandmother, please wake up."
It turned out that the old woman in front of him was the man's grandmother.
After learning about their relationship, Luo Zhiwan gently advised:
"Madam, he seems to be suffering from a relapse of his old ailment. You mustn't shake him like that..."
The old woman turned around and looked at her in surprise.
"You know medicine?"
Luo Zhiwan nodded solemnly.
"Yes, my family has run a pharmacy for generations, so we know some medicine. Don't move him now, just keep him breathing and wait for him to wake up..."
Hearing this, the old lady stood up from the ground, looking at her with eyes full of gratitude.
“Young lady, judging from your voice, you must know medicine. To be honest, Xun’er has been sick for several years. We have consulted many famous doctors, but none of them can cure him. Recently, the frequency of his attacks has been increasing. His father is afraid that he will have an attack, so he won’t let him go out. Who would have thought that he would actually sneak out.”
Luo Zhiwan carefully observed the old woman's clothing and her composed tone of voice. Considering that she had just come from the city lord's mansion, she could roughly guess that this old lady must be the city lord's mother.
She just wanted to see the city lord but had no opportunity. Now the opportunity has come!
Thinking of this, she reminded the old lady:
“If we don’t find a good treatment for his illness, it will probably get worse and worse. If you trust me, I can give you a prescription to try.”
Without a second thought, the old lady nodded.
“Good, good. Over the years, Xun’er has suffered from all kinds of bitter medicine, but his illness has not only not improved, but has become more and more serious. If you can cure Xun’er, I will agree to whatever you ask.”
Just then, the man lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes. He raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight. Seeing this, the old lady quickly went over to help him up.
"Xun'er, how are you? Are you feeling very unwell?"
Xun'er looked at the old lady in front of her and the servants surrounding her, and shook her head awkwardly.
"Grandma, I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."
After saying this, he looked up at Luo Zhiwan again.
"Young lady, did I bump into you before I lost consciousness?"
Luo Zhiwan nodded, then shook her head.
"Hmm, but it's okay."
The man stood up, took two steps back, and respectfully clasped his hands in a salute.
"Thank you for saving my life, young lady. My name is Xie Jiaxun. May I ask your name and where you live? I will definitely visit you to express my gratitude in the future."
Luo Zhiwan hurriedly waved her hand.
"You're too kind, young master. I didn't do anything wrong just now."
"The doctor said that when my illness flares up, the worst thing is to suddenly faint and hit my head. If you hadn't helped me up just now, I don't know if I would have woken up now. So, you are my savior."
His words seemed to make some sense.
Luo Zhiwan didn't argue with him. After a quick glance, she said:
"If Young Master Xie really wants to thank me, then please find a way to let me see the city lord. I have urgent business with him."
Upon seeing this, the old lady chuckled.
"Young lady, you don't know this yet, do you? Xun'er is the young city lord of Phoenix City, and his father is the city lord."
Although she had guessed it, Luo Zhiwan still feigned shock and widened her eyes.
"Really? You're the young city lord? That's wonderful!"
Xie Jiaxun scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's so awkward since we first met. I'm sorry you had to see this. I'll take you to meet my father now."
Luo Zhiwan nodded hurriedly, then said to the old lady:
"Please have paper and pen ready for me, Madam. I'll write a prescription for the young city lord in a bit. Although I can't guarantee a quick cure, I can control the frequency of the attacks..."
Upon hearing this, the old lady nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, alright, thank you, young lady. Xun'er, quickly take the young lady to see your father; he may have something urgent to say."
