She hurriedly took out a tael of silver from her money bag. One tael of silver was equal to 150 coins. Was 150 coins enough for an ordinary person to earn in a day?
However, the other party was a doctor, and in ancient times, doctors were generally highly respected, so Su Wanyan took another tael of silver.
Seeing this, I still felt it was a bit too little. This old doctor is quite skilled, not some quack. Xu Si said he is the best doctor in the capital, so his consultation fee must be quite high.
Su Wanyan gritted her teeth, took two more pieces of silver, and handed them to the old doctor: "Doctor, is this enough?"
No wonder Su Wanyan is so stingy, she's just really poor!
The old doctor had just said it wasn't necessary, so if I were to accept it now, it would seem like I was going back on my word. I quickly waved my hand and said, "It is my honor to be able to treat Your Highness's illness. I really don't need it."
“That’s not enough,” Su Wanyan said, preparing to take more money out of her purse.
The old doctor was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "That's enough, Your Majesty, that's enough."
"Is that enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough."
Su Wanyan handed over the money, which the old doctor accepted with trembling hands.
This was the first time he had encountered such a straightforward princess. If it had been someone more shrewd, those words alone would have been enough to torment him.
"Your Majesty, I have left you some medicine for your wounds. I will come to visit you again in five days."
"Thank you for your trouble." Su Wanyan saw him to the door, then suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Oh, right."
The old doctor turned around: "Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"
"How much is your set of needles? Can you sell it to me?"
The old doctor paused, hesitated for a moment, and then took out the set of silver needles from his medicine box: "Your Majesty, acupuncture emphasizes nourishing the body's vital energy and blood, warming the meridians, and regulating the acupoints. Although it can treat internal diseases from the outside, it requires skilled doctors to perform acupuncture. If Your Majesty wants to save the Prince, you should think twice before you act."
The prince was already terminally ill, and his heart was already broken. If he could be saved, he would have said so long ago.
He sighed helplessly, saying that whether his medical skills were lacking or not, there was no need to have any hope for someone like Su Wanyan who only had a slight understanding of dermatology.
Su Wanyan nodded, taking his words to heart, and asked, "How much?"
"It's just a set of silver needles; this is a gift from this humble subject to Your Majesty."
Su Wanyan was delighted and quickly accepted it, saying, "Thank you!"
"This humble subject dares not." Having already offered his advice, he bowed respectfully and withdrew.
Su Wanyan happily returned to her room with the silver needles in her arms, while Yu Nanqing lay exhausted on the bed, his face still turned inwards.
She leaned closer and asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Nanqing closed his eyes, unwilling to say more.
Even if the bedsores are cured, what good will it do?
Ultimately, he couldn't escape death anyway; it was all for naught.
"I just got a set of silver needles from the doctor. Acupuncture can unblock meridians and regulate qi and blood. I happen to know a little about acupuncture techniques. How about I try it on your leg?"
Actually, she didn't know anything about acupuncture, but she had a cheat code. She could insert two needles into Yu Nanqing and activate her [Acupuncture Skill], and maybe she could cure Yu Nanqing in no time.
More importantly, if she learned traditional Chinese medicine, she would have a skill in this ancient world and could set up a stall to earn money.
Upon hearing this, Yu Nanqing frowned and refused without even opening her eyes: "No need."
His voice was deep and cold.
"Give it a try. You won't lose anything, and you don't need to do anything. Just cooperate." After saying that, Su Wanyan brought over a candlestick, lit it, and sterilized the silver needles.
Just as she was about to lift the blanket over Yu Nanqing's legs, Yu Nanqing suddenly rolled over, revealing his weak and slender upper body. He grabbed Su Wanyan's wrist and said angrily, "I said, no need!"
Su Wanyan winced in pain at her wrist: "Be gentle! Let go! Your hand is going to break!"
Yu Nanqing did not let go. His eyes were as cold as ice, and he angrily grabbed Su Wanyan and forced her to look at him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Su Wanyan, do you find it fun to humiliate me again and again?"
Su Wanyan was stunned. What did she have?
Before she could speak, Yu Nanqing suddenly shoved her away: "Get out!"
The force was too great, and Su Wanyan cried out "Ah—" and lost her balance, falling directly to the ground.
The needle case that Su Wanyan was holding fell to the ground, scattering the silver needles.
"Hiss—" Su Wanyan hit the ground with her elbow and felt a sharp pain.
She frowned, looking at the silver needles scattered on the ground, then glanced at Yu Nanqing, who was sitting on the bed, panting heavily but still glaring at her.
I asked, "Is that really what you think of me?"
Yu Nanqing's breath hitched slightly, and a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes as he stared at her.
Su Wanyan endured the pain and got up from the ground, looking at Yu Nanqing: "I helped you clean your body, went to great lengths to find you something to eat, and even found a doctor for you. Do you really think I did it for fun?"
"..." Yu Nanqing remained silent, speechless as he looked at Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan sighed: "Never mind."
She turned around and walked straight out of the room.
Yu Nanqing's heart skipped a beat, as if a stone had hit his heart hard. He could clearly feel his hands turn icy cold in an instant.
As Su Wanyan's figure disappeared, Yu Nanqing couldn't help but cough!
He covered his mouth, feeling a surge of blood welling up in his chest, but he forced it back down.
He was breathing heavily when he looked at the silver needles that had fallen to the ground. His fingertips trembled as he channeled his inner energy, and in the blink of an eye, all the scattered silver needles were instantly collected into his needle pouch.
With another burst of energy, the needle case was suddenly snatched into Yu Nanqing's hand from a distance.
However, the next second, Yu Nanqing spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof". He tried to cover it with his hands, but it was no use.
The freshly bandaged wound was bleeding profusely, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
He knew better than anyone else that his heart was breaking.
He is beyond saving. Since there is no chance of survival, why should we expect a miracle to happen?
Yu Nanqing's vision began to blur. In the last second before he fainted, he tried his best to lean against the edge of the bed to prevent blood from dripping onto the sheets.
If that woman sees the newly laid sheets, she'll probably nag about it for ages...
No, maybe... she won't come back, and that's for the best...
On the other side, Su Wanyan, fuming, hugged her chest and rubbed her stinging elbow as she walked towards the gate of the mansion.
She could understand patients like Yu Nanqing.
Having been bedridden for years and suppressed by the emperor, he not only suffered from poor food and sleep, but also ruined his health. He should have known that after so many years, the hope of curing his legs was slim.
Knowing that it was incurable, he simply stopped having any expectations. Without expectations, there would be no disappointment, which is why he was so resistant to treatment.
