Chapter 121 Requires Heart's Blood for Medicine
A small amulet lay in her fair palm.
Qin Wan knew that Xiao Jingyan was good to her, but the Qin family had also been good to her in the past, but they had eventually changed their minds. She was afraid that Xiao Jingyan would be like them.
Therefore, she did not want any rift to develop in her relationship with Xiao Jingyan before they got married.
Since she's going to take advantage of me, then she might as well take advantage of me to the end.
Xiao Jingyan was somewhat surprised. He thought she went to Leishan Temple for Qin Lang's sake, but he didn't expect it to have something to do with him.
Xiao Jingyan took the peace talisman from Qin Wan.
"Thank you, Wan'er!" My heart and eyes were filled with excitement.
The amulet was folded into a small triangle, so tiny that Xiao Jingyan was afraid of losing it and didn't know where to put it.
Suddenly, he remembered something and took out the sachet that Qin Wan had given him before. He wanted to put the peace charm together with the sachet she had given him.
When the sachet was taken out of her bosom, a fragrance that seemed to have been suppressed for a long time instantly filled the air.
Qin Wan froze, her gaze instantly locking onto the sachet in his hand.
The spices in the sachet were specially made by her; she was unconscious last night and her sense of smell was blocked, so she couldn't make a timely diagnosis.
But she is now certain that the scent is the same fragrance she smelled last night.
Could it be that something really happened last night, and he saved me?
Seeing Xiao Jingyan's clumsy movements, Qin Wan reached out and said, "The sachet is sealed and can't be opened. Give me these, and I'll sew it in and give it to you!"
Xiao Jingyan kept smiling and nodding repeatedly.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Wan'er!"
Qin Wan took the sachet and touched it; it was dry.
Last night it rained so hard, if you carry it with you, it will inevitably get wet. The outside can be dried by baking, but the spices inside will change when they get wet. To be sure, you have to open it up and take a look.
Looking at the person in front of her again, Qin Wan felt that he was not as simple as he appeared.
......
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Xiao Jingyu did indeed manage to invite Qiao An down the mountain, but not for free.
Qiao An wouldn't do a losing deal, so she demanded 10,000 taels of silver from Xiao Jingyu, otherwise there was no point in discussing it.
This amount of money is nothing to Xiao Jingyu. As long as he is willing to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to treat Shen Siyi, he can afford to give her not only 10,000 taels, but even 20,000 taels.
It wasn't that he particularly liked Shen Siyi, but rather that he wanted Shen Zhong to know his feelings.
Although Qiao An swindled Xiao Jingyu out of his money, he was still serious about treating patients.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Qiao An came out of the room.
Shen Zhong was also aware of Doctor An's reputation, and he was very happy that Xiao Jingyu was able to invite him this time, as it was his last hope.
He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Dr. An, may I ask how my daughter is? Is there any chance of recovery?"
Qiao An stroked his beard, his expression grave. "Miss Shen's injuries are too severe. The imperial physician treated her promptly, and her other injuries have begun to heal, but the wound in her abdomen is somewhat difficult to treat!"
Shen Zhong was worried about her abdominal injury. Whether a woman can have children is a big deal, especially since his daughter was going to marry into the royal family. Whether she had children would affect her status.
"Dr. An, is there any way to recover?"
Qiao An's gaze shifted back and forth between Shen Zhong and Xiao Jingyu, a barely perceptible smile flashing across her lips.
"There is a solution, but..."
Joan paused deliberately, wanting them to get anxious.
"But what?" Shen Zhong was concerned about his daughter and was naturally anxious, but Xiao Jingyu seemed indifferent.
"Dr. An, please tell me whatever you need. Even if it means going through fire and water, I will do anything to get my daughter back!"
Qiao An waved her hand and sighed softly, saying, "There's no need to go through fire and water. Just take the heart's blood of your beloved as medicine, and there's a chance of recovery!"
After they finished speaking, their gazes both fell on Xiao Jingyu.
Xiao Jingyu's eyes widened suddenly, her face filled with astonishment.
what?
Is heart blood used in medicine?
"I just wonder who Miss Shen's sweetheart is!" Qiao An deliberately asked.
His gaze toward Xiao Jingyu held a hint of amusement.
Shen Zhong's lips twitched slightly. He knew who Shen Siyi's sweetheart was—it was none other than Xiao Jingyu right in front of him.
But he was a prince, how could he dare to take his heart's blood? He could only ask him to give it up voluntarily.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Qiao An added, "Lord Duke, this is the prescription. After obtaining the heart's blood, it should be used in the medicine according to the instructions. It needs to be taken for seven consecutive days. I will come back to treat you after seven days!"
Shen Zhong accepted the prescription with both hands. Qiao An had a good reputation, so he had no doubts.
"Yes!"
"Let me offer one last word of advice: what I've said about a chance of recovery is not a certainty. If the blood donor is unwilling, there's no need to force them. After all, I can't guarantee whether they can fully recover!"
After saying that, Joan stroked his beard and left.
Xiao Jingyu stood there dumbfounded. He had spent a lot of money to hire Qiao An, but she wanted to take his blood, and his heart's blood at that.
"Your Highness, this..."
Shen Zhong held the prescription in his hand, unsure of what to say.
Regardless of whether recovery is possible, the miracle doctor said that we should always give it a try, and Shen Zhong will not give up.
He had already thought it through; if he couldn't convince Xiao Jingyu...
Then go find his sister, Empress Shen. Xiao Jingyu wants to ascend to the position of Crown Prince, and he still needs to rely on the power of her family.
What's a little blood? Siyi is going to marry him in the future and will be carrying his son. No matter how you look at it, he won't lose out!
He's determined to get that blood!
Night falls.
It must have just rained, because a sunset appeared on the horizon, turning the entire sky red.
When Qin Wan returned to Wanyue Courtyard, she had already eaten dinner outside. When the servants asked, she declined.
She went straight back to her room and instructed Wan Shuang to bring the sewing box.
She wanted to see if it was as she had imagined.
"Miss, do you need my help?" Wan Shuang asked.
"No need, you can leave now. Give the order that no one is allowed to enter without my permission!"
"Yes!"
I didn't get the night cream, but I did it anyway!
Inside the room, Qin Wan placed both candles on the table and picked up scissors to cut open the sachet.
In the quiet room, Qin Wan could hear her own heartbeat.
When the sachet was cut open and the spices inside spilled out, Qin Wan brought the candlelight closer to examine it carefully.
After searching for a long time, she finally found the spices that had been soaked in water. Although it was only a little bit, she could still tell.
Qin Wan's heart sank to the bottom.
A cold sweat broke out instantly.
If it's really as she thinks, then Xiao Jingyan's dazedness was all an act.
If they get married, how can she still take advantage of him?
Thinking of this, Qin Wan felt terrified. Now it wasn't her using him anymore, but him using her!
Qin Wan sat alone for a long time, seemingly unable to let go of this matter.
However, the fact that the spices were wet does not necessarily mean they were soaked by rainwater; perhaps she was overthinking it.
Qin Wan took a deep breath, stuffed the amulet into the sachet, filled it with new spices, and sewed it up again.
This matter still needs further clarification!
