Under his watchful gaze, Wan Ge obediently drank the medicine. The medicine wasn't actually bitter, but it didn't taste good. Even Wan Ge, who had tasted all kinds of poisons, couldn't help but frown.
As soon as she put down the medicine bowl, a slender, fair hand with distinct knuckles was stretched out in front of her, along with a piece of candied fruit.
Just as Wan Ge was about to express her gratitude, a boy who looked about twelve or thirteen years old ran in from outside: "Young master, Lin'an County... Miss Lin'an has woken up, you should go and see her quickly."
Wan Ge accepted the candied fruit offered to her and said to him, "Go ahead."
The other person nodded, turned around, and left.
Seeing the other person leave so decisively, Wan Ge withdrew the candied fruit from her hand.
The young boy didn't follow Luo Qingmu out; instead, he focused his gaze on Wan Ge. His face was beaming with joy: "Madam, you're awake. Are you still feeling unwell?"
When Wan Ge heard the question, she nodded and replied, "I feel much better now, and I must thank all my benefactors for saving my life."
The young boy quickly waved his hand: "Madam, you don't need to be so polite. It was our young master who saved you. He has always been fond of curing rare poisons, and he was happy to save you, so you don't need to worry about it."
After finishing that question, the young boy seemed to remember something else and looked at Wan Ge with a puzzled expression, asking, "By the way, I haven't asked how you were poisoned, Madam. This poison is no ordinary one, and how did you find the Valley of Divine Healers? Why are you alone? Where is your husband?"
The young boy noticed Wan Ge's attire: her hair was tied up, and her clothes clearly indicated she was a married woman. Although she looked very young, there were too many women who married young in this era; she was probably a newlywed.
When Wan Ge heard him ask that question, her eyes instantly reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry. She answered with great sadness.
"Little miracle doctor, you don't know, I was born into a rather poor family. My father didn't love me and my mother didn't care for me. If it weren't for my good looks, I probably would have been married off a long time ago."
A year ago, when my father went up the mountain to chop firewood, he encountered a bear and was about to lose his life when a passing hero saved him.
Because of this life-saving grace, my father married me off to him. We had a period of loving days after the marriage, but unfortunately, not long after, his enemies came knocking, demanding that he teach them some secret techniques.
My husband refused, so they kidnapped me and poisoned me, hoping to use it to blackmail him. Unfortunately, that unfaithful man simply ran away, and it was no use at all.
The young boy was brought back to Shenyi Valley at a very young age, and focused solely on studying medicine, completely unaware of the many tricks and schemes of the outside world.
Seeing how distressed she was and how sincere she sounded, he didn't even doubt her. His eyes instantly filled with sympathy: "I see. Madam, don't be sad. Now you're finally free from their clutches. Don't worry, we'll definitely heal you and then send you away."
Upon hearing this, Wan Ge quickly shook her head: "Please don't send me away, okay? I'm really afraid that his enemies will come looking for me again. I'm very capable, I can do anything. I can do laundry and cook here."
Upon hearing this, the young boy hesitated for a moment before saying, "Our Divine Healer Valley doesn't usually take in outsiders. Don't get agitated. Let me discuss it with the young master. Don't worry, even if we send you out, we won't let them find you."
"Really?" Wan Ge wanted to stay, but making it too obvious might arouse suspicion, so she could only take it one step at a time.
"Of course, our young master is the kindest of all. Don't worry, he will never abandon you."
"Thank you so much, you are my saviors." As Wan Ge was about to kneel down, the young boy quickly pulled her back.
The young man quickly waved his hand at Wan Ge: "Miss, you can't bear to do this. There's no need for such a grand gesture. Saving lives is what we doctors are supposed to do. Now that you've taken your medicine, you should rest well. I'll go take care of the other patients first."
"Okay, thank you, little miracle doctor." Wan Ge bowed obediently again.
The young boy quickly shook his head: "Miss, you don't need to be so polite. Besides, I'm not yet a miracle doctor; I'm still learning! You can call me Xiao Feng. My name is Luo Qingfeng."
"Thank you very much, Young Master Xiaofeng."
Xiao Feng simply nodded and then left.
…
After Luo Qingmu finished taking her pulse, Xiao Feng appeared beside her.
Xiao Feng glanced at Luo Qingmu, and I glanced at Princess Lin'an standing to the side.
The young master is only taking her pulse now; the princess must have been through a lot of trouble just now.
