After eight bowls of Chinese medicine, Zhao Huan could no longer feel his stomach. He had diarrhea eighty times that day and vomited nine times, and he was completely exhausted.
Near dawn, Zhao Huan finally fell into a deep sleep. Hua Tuo took his pulse and found that although it was still weak, it was stable. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Nangong Lian'er and Li Sisi looked at each other, both of them were filled with joy.
Nangong Lian'er and Li Sisi stood up together and bowed to Hua Tuo: "Thank you so much for saving my life."

Li Sisi smiled and said, "These are just external possessions. You saved His Majesty. Even if I gathered all the treasures in the Song Dynasty, it would still not be enough to express my gratitude to you."
Nangong Lian'er also said: "Just take it if I give it to you."
Sai Huatuo then accepted it with trepidation, kowtowed several times, and left after expressing his gratitude profusely.
