"What important person?" Su Wanyan asked curiously.
“The important person doesn’t come often. He just occasionally leaves some food on the window. A few days ago, he also left a string of coins, but my father and mother didn’t dare to use it. They said that if the important person came, they would have to return it.”
After listening for a while, Su Wanyan finally realized: "The benefactor you're talking about, don't you know who he is?"
Da Nannan shook her head: "Every time they just leave the food and leave. Sometimes they come in the middle of the night, and sometimes I can see something on the window when I wake up in the morning."
"How long has it been?"
Da Nannan thought for a moment: "About... two years ago... Your Majesty, please forgive me, I can't remember clearly."
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually."
Su Wanyan smiled and said goodbye to Da Nannan.
The young woman clutched the medicine packet in her hand and bowed deeply to Su Wanyan's retreating figure.
After the two had walked away, Su Wanyan asked Su Chien, "Is the benefactor they were talking about you?"
Su Chien blushed: "He's hardly a benefactor."
Two years ago, I passed by this family while fleeing. At that time, both adults in the family were sick. Their father dragged his sick body to do hard labor. His father was also lame and could not work well. He did not do as much as others and only earned two or three copper coins a day.
At that time, their youngest child was crying loudly from hunger, so he casually threw in a stolen bun.
Sometimes when he thinks of it, he'll come over and bring some food, but he himself is often hungry, so he can't give him much.
They don't show up because he steals every day, and they're afraid that if he gets caught, it will implicate them. Besides, he's an unregistered resident, so even if he gets beaten to death, no one will pity him.
So it's best not to know each other.
In fact, he had given food to more than just this family; there were many people in even worse situations than this family. Whenever he had food, he would give them some when he passed by.
Or perhaps he would take care of homeless orphans like himself for a few days if he encountered them. However, he was already struggling to make ends meet in the capital, living on the edge, and simply couldn't take care of others for long.
Moreover, even the lowest-level people have the most basic rules of survival. The law of the jungle applies everywhere, and under such conditions, just trying to survive is exhausting.
Even his place of residence changes every now and then.
Su Wanyan patted his head when she saw his silent expression, and then said nothing more.
After leaving her aunt's house, Su Wanyan was not in a hurry to return to her residence, but instead went to the pharmacy.
There's also a skill in the system called [Medicinal Herb Identification Skill]. She needs to go to the pharmacy to get some more medicinal herbs and then activate this [Medicinal Herb Identification Skill] when she gets back.
I've been so busy with this and that, and all I can remember is acupuncture, acupuncture. I've forgotten so many other skills after just one glance.
While waiting for the clinic staff to prepare her medicine, she browsed the system to see what other skills she could activate along the way.
Based on the skills activated in the previous instances, the activation conditions are quite simple. [Nursing] is activated when taking care of Yu Nanqing, [Pulse Diagnosis] is activated when taking a pulse, and [Acupuncture] is activated when administering acupuncture.
This means that as long as you use these skills to interact with patients and perform the corresponding actions, you can activate the skills.
She looked at the [Bone Setting] skill in the system. Hmm, bone setting, that doesn't match her profession. She needs to find a doctor who knows how to set bones to learn and practice the operation.
[Birth delivery skills], she didn't study obstetrics and gynecology, so she needs to find a doctor to learn this.
Or... she could just find a skilled doctor and become his apprentice.
"Sister." Su Chi'en came over with the medicine: "The medicine is ready."
Let's go.
She is now eager to have Yu Nanqing examine his condition, as the doctor's last words implied that Yu Nanqing was beyond saving.
She wanted to test whether her "golden finger" was just an ordinary medical system or a miraculous skill that could bring people back from the dead!
The main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.
When Su Wanyan rushed into the main room, she found Yu Nanqing fast asleep with his eyes closed.
The words she was about to utter caught in her throat. She quietly stepped forward, leaned in, and tentatively called out, "Yu Nanqing?"
Yu Nanqing has always been a light sleeper, especially after he became paralyzed. The slightest noise would wake him up. When he heard Su Wanyan calling him, his brows twitched first, and then his long eyes, like stars, slowly opened.
"I want to talk to you about something," Su Wanyan said with a pleading smile, trying to win him over.
Yu Nanqing glanced at her once, then closed his eyes again, ignoring her completely.
"Oh, don't be like that, it's not a difficult thing," Su Wanyan said softly.
Yu Nanqing remained silent.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."
After waiting for a while without seeing Yu Nanqing object, she smiled, took Yu Nanqing's hand and placed it on the edge of the bed, her three fingers already on his pulse.
Yu Nanqing frowned and opened her eyes.
Su Wanyan thought Yu Nanqing would be angry, but when he opened his eyes, he just stared at her. Although his brows showed displeasure, he didn't say anything to stop her or send her away.
Su Wanyan found it strange: "Why aren't you angry?"
She was prepared to be scolded by Yu Nanqing and had prepared a lot of arguments to persuade him when he was arguing.
She even planned to hold him down and prevent him from moving if he didn't cooperate.
Yu Nanqing's gaze fell on his small hand, which was resting on his pulse, and his slender fingers were unadorned.
If she hadn't entered Prince Gong's mansion, but instead entered another princess, she would have worn beautiful red nail polish, and when she went out, she would have worn fine silks and satins, adorned with gold and silver hairpins.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Su Wanyan asked tentatively, thinking he was really angry.
Yu Nanqing collected his thoughts and said calmly, "If I don't agree, will you give up?"
"No." Su Wanyan chuckled.
Yu Nanqing stopped talking and just lay quietly on the bed, letting her do as she pleased.
Su Wanyan wisely kept quiet; as long as he wasn't opposed, anything was negotiable.
Just as the doctor had said, Yu Nanqing's pulse was extremely weak, floating and feeble, his heart rhythm was irregular, his breathing was unstable, and there was a stagnant qi in his body, causing his heart blood to flow backward, and his internal organs were already showing signs of decay.
To put it bluntly, they've reached the point of exhaustion.
The doctor who treated Yu Nanqing was ultimately being conservative. Judging from Yu Nanqing's physical condition, he shouldn't have lived this long. It's a miracle that he's managed to hold on with this broken body until now.
The longer Su Wanyan's hand remained on his pulse, the more profusely she sweated on her back.
It's a miracle she didn't drive Yu Nanqing to his death, considering she had always contradicted him.
