Su Wanyan knew he was unwell because he had been vomiting blood frequently, but seeing that Yu Nanqing seemed to be in good spirits, she assumed that his health wasn't actually that bad.
Now that the [Pulse Diagnosis] skill has been unlocked, it's as if Yu Nanqing's illness has instantly become tangible in her eyes. This is no patient; this is someone who has already stepped into the gates of hell!
Even though Yu Nanqing was terminally ill, two words still clearly appeared in her mind: there was hope.
She didn't know where her confidence came from, or perhaps it was because of the medical system, but she was certain that Yu Nanqing's illness could be cured.
Seeing Su Wanyan pursing her lips and remaining silent, Yu Nanqing's brows furrowed: "You know medicine?"
That shouldn't be the case.
If he knew medicine, he wouldn't bother to call a doctor to treat him.
Is it really just a matter of a few medical books?
He was certain that Su Wanyan didn't know anything about medicine before, or if she did, it was only a rudimentary skill. So when she tried to take his pulse, he didn't take it seriously.
But seeing Su Wanyan's solemn expression, he knew that Su Wanyan had diagnosed something.
But clearly, she didn't know how to take a pulse before this.
Su Wanyan only uttered four words: "I know a little, I know a little."
As she spoke, she lifted the blanket covering Yu Nanqing, revealing his slender figure through his white undergarments. Su Wanyan reached out, her fingers exploring and pressing between his body.
Strangely enough, by pressing lightly with her fingertips, Su Wanyan was able to feel the condition of his internal organs as if she were wearing a stethoscope.
She didn't know that pulse diagnosis had this function.
Could she interpret this as meaning that the pulse in "pulse diagnosis" doesn't just refer to the hand pulse, but encompasses the pulse throughout the entire body?
Other skills in that system might also have similar applications.
Yu Nanqing lay quietly on his side, his gaze fixed on Su Wanyan. He noticed that Su Wanyan was very focused and serious when she was examining his body, as if this was not the first time she had done this.
Seeing that Su Wanyan was about to examine his paralyzed leg, he couldn't help but calm down and gently grasp her wrist: "That's enough."
His voice was calm and composed, revealing no trace of anger.
"We've already done half the checkup, so what's the difference if we have two more legs?"
"..." Yu Nanqing lowered his eyes and stared at Su Wanyan for a moment before slowly speaking: "If you can really diagnose my condition, then you should know that I am already at my wit's end. No matter how hard you try, you may not get any results. In the end, it will all be for nothing."
His tone was casual, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
He knows his own body best. If it can be cured, why would he give up?
"Whether there's a result or not doesn't matter. What matters is that we both did our best while you were alive. If we die, we won't have any regrets, right?"
Yu Nanqing's eyebrows twitched slightly. He parted his thin lips as if to say something, but then hesitated and stopped.
"Give it a try. If you don't try, how will you know if there's any hope for you? It's a miracle you're still alive. How do you know there won't be another miracle?"
Looking at Su Wanyan's serious expression, Yu Nanqing was momentarily at a loss for words.
He took a deep breath before slowly saying, "I wasn't sent back to the capital as soon as I became paralyzed. The military doctors there are highly skilled, and even with timely treatment, they couldn't save my legs. The border is a three-month journey from the capital. Do you think I didn't have someone look after me?"
Even the Valley Master of Baiyou Valley once said that his legs were beyond medical help.
His body, however, had been afflicted by a long-term illness and was beyond saving.
"That's right," Su Wanyan hurriedly said, "You've shown it to so many people, why not me? Is this preferential treatment?"
"..." Yu Nanqing choked up, rubbing her temples speechlessly: "I've said so much to you, but you haven't listened to a single word."
"Oh, I've taken your advice. What I mean is, since you've already consulted so many doctors, one more or one less won't make a difference. Anyway, this is the last time, so just consider it a favor to me."
Yu Nanqing frowned, looking at her sincere eyes, and really didn't know whether to call her naive or ignorant of the ways of the world.
She always managed to easily cross his bottom line, making him back down again and again. Yu Nanqing felt a little annoyed, but under her gaze, that annoyance vanished in an instant.
He frowned, released her hand, and closed his eyes: "Whatever."
If she really wants to try, then let her try. If he can make use of his remaining value in her, that would be good too.
Su Wanyan's eyes lit up: "That's a good girl. Don't worry, it won't hurt."
Su Wanyan completely pulled off the blanket covering him, pressed her hands on his legs with just the right amount of pressure, and asked, "Can you feel anything?"
Yu Nanqing closed her eyes and pursed her lips, not wanting to speak.
"Oh, I didn't feel anything." Su Wanyan laughed at her own question. If she had felt anything, she would have told him when she was wiping his body these past few days.
She began pressing on acupoints on his legs, looking up to observe Yu Nanqing's expression after each acupoint was pressed.
I discovered that he really didn't react at all.
Su Wanyan then used her hands to explore the veins on his legs and found that the veins were still connected, but so faintly that they were almost imperceptible.
His leg injury was left untreated for three years, and the muscles in both legs had begun to atrophy. If it was left untreated, the veins would eventually die, and at that point, there would be no cure.
There is hope.
Su Wanyan knew that this was not her achievement, but rather a skill given to her by the system. She herself had studied clinical medicine and knew that many diseases were actually incurable.
With injuries like Yu Nanqing's, even if she could heal his body, she could only prolong his life; as for him standing up again, that would be even more impossible.
But after she examined his legs with her own hands, a strange confidence spread from the bottom of her heart. This confidence wasn't based on her own abilities; her medical skills were simply not that advanced.
It's all thanks to the system. Now she's certain that this system she's bound to since transmigrated can cure any ailment with any skill it has.
Having confirmed this, Su Wanyan's smile was harder to suppress than an AK. Luckily, Yu Nanqing had his eyes closed and couldn't see it, so she wanted to secretly give him this surprise.
Once he recovers, she can leave the capital with peace of mind.
She tucked Yu Nanqing in and gently patted his head to comfort him, saying, "You should rest well first. When I need you, you have to cooperate with me obediently."
She already had a complete treatment plan for Yu Nanqing in her mind.
