The two stared at each other, and Fan Zu'an developed a strange fondness for the baby girl.
Then he said gently, "Little girl, you're so pretty! Come here, let uncle see why you don't like drinking milk?"
Fan Zuan performed a simple examination on Li Xingran and found that she only had a little indigestion. He then instructed Xu Ningyou to massage her stomach and also to pay attention to her diet, eating more easily digestible foods.
"Mrs. Li, Miss Li is fine, don't worry!"
Fan Zu'an then looked at Xiao Sheng, pondered for a while, fiddled with the medicine box for a bit, took out a milky white pill, and made Xiao Sheng swallow it.
I only told Xiao Sheng to be careful while eating, but he's only six years old, and his meals are always prepared by others. How can he be careful?
Xiao Sheng became uneasy. Xu Ningyou felt she needed to discuss this matter with her husband to see what to do.
At six years old, I lost my mother, and my father, even the emperor, didn't care about me. It was truly pitiful. When I was six, I was already learning to cook for myself. Back then, my father worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk to support me...
Li Xingran mumbled incoherently, her voice gradually becoming slurred, and she fell into a deep sleep again.
Fan Zuan gave Xiao Sheng a few more instructions before leaving the study.
In this era, crudely made, low-purity drugs pose no threat. However, the wickedness of people's hearts is immeasurable; if the dosage is increased, this crown prince will be deposed sooner or later.
However, the crown prince already possesses the protection of dragon energy, which suggests that he will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and receive help from benefactors.
Fan Zuan returned to the room where Li Ting was and took Li Ting's pulse.
As expected of a general who has fought in battles for many years, his physical condition is truly extraordinary. I originally thought it would take four hours, but unexpectedly, the poison in his body was almost completely cleared in three hours.
Fan Zuan's wish when he was young was to join the army and serve his country, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he ended up going to medical school.
He has a natural affinity for soldiers who defend their country.
Even when he was still at Jishantang, I heard the people gossiping that General Li had guarded the northwest border for twenty years, but he had injured his leg while on patrol.
He was then summoned back from the Northwest by the emperor, stripped of his military power, and allowed to retire in the capital.
Fan Zu'an just examined Li Ting's lame leg, and it seems there's still a possibility of a complete cure. After the poison is removed this time, we'll give him a more thorough examination.
Li Ting felt that his meridians and five senses were different from usual.
Suddenly, Li Ting opened his eyes.
Seeing that Li Ting had recovered, Fan Zuan removed the golden needles from Li Ting's body.
"General Li, how are you feeling now?" Fan Zu'an asked expectantly.
"Dr. Fan, I feel that my five senses are more sensitive. My hearing is so good that I can clearly hear the voices of everyone in this house," Li Ting replied, puzzled.
“Yes, to be honest, you and Madam Li have both benefited from this misfortune.” Fan Zu’an looked at Li Ting with a smile.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"The so-called head of the Imperial Medical Academy who gave you the medicine didn't know that the poison he used could slowly weaken a person's martial arts skills, but that was only the surface effect. This kind of medicine has the miraculous effect of bringing someone to the brink of death and then bringing them back to life."
"I just used gold needles to acupuncture your acupoints, which only accelerated the onset of the poison. Then I used medicinal steam to fumigate your body as an aid, to reduce the pain in your recovery process. Now, your skills are probably unmatched on the Cangxuan Continent."
Li Ting was shocked. He had no rivals in the Southern Chen Kingdom before, but there were several generals in the Great Liang Kingdom whose martial prowess surpassed his. Could it be that his poisoning had brought him such miraculous results?
After the initial shock came joy! Now that he possessed such abilities, let's see if that damned emperor could still wipe out his entire clan.
"Also, your leg can still be saved. However, I need time to prepare before I can treat you."
Upon hearing this, Li Ting felt even more certain that his precious daughter was right; he had struck gold.
Li Ting cupped his hands in thanks: "Dr. Fan, I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask! I and the Li family will definitely help you achieve your goal."
"General Li, you flatter me. I feel an instant connection with you and have always respected heroes who serve the country and its people. It is my honor to be able to help you with your troubles."
Li Ting was very happy and had the idea of becoming sworn brothers with Fan Zu'an. He immediately said it out loud.
"Dr. Fan, I have a favor to ask."
"General Li, please speak freely!"
"Would Dr. Fan be willing to become sworn brothers with me? From this day forward, we will share both honor and disgrace, and advance and retreat together in times of trouble!"
Fan Zuan looked hesitant.
After he transmigrated to this world, he was alone, without parents. Although he later had an old charlatan master, he did not receive any warmth from him.
In his previous life, his parents died early, and as an only child, he died suddenly at his job before he could get married.
If he had family to take care of him and someone to support him, his life probably wouldn't have ended so quickly!
After arriving here, he also had the idea of starting a family, but he hesitated when he thought about the traditional matchmaking and social status required for a good marriage.
After a while, Fan Zu'an clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Brother, please accept my bow." He then performed the ceremony.
Li Ting did not accept the offer and instead helped Fan Zuan up.
“My dear brother, such a joyous occasion must be shared with our family, and we must also offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, informing the gods and all things in the world that as long as I, Li Ting, am here, you, Fan Zuan, will have a peaceful life! Haha!”
"Wait here, I'll go and instruct Liu Fu to take care of it."
Li Ting strode out of the house and ordered Liu Fu to make the arrangements.
Liu Fu was overjoyed to see that his master had gained a sworn brother and hurriedly went to prepare the necessary items.
