The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 125 Seeking medical advice

Yunxi's legs were like hot wheels, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment.

At dawn that day, she hurried out of the Marquis's Mansion with her maid Chuntao.

Yunxi's hair was a little messy, and the simple dress she was wearing looked wrinkled, but she didn't care about that.

The anxiety on his face was like a burning fire, and the tired look could not be hidden.

Chuntao followed Yunxi closely, running in small steps and panting heavily.

"Madam, which clinic should we go to first?" Chuntao asked cautiously while running, glancing at Yunxi's face from time to time.

Yunxi kept walking and said without turning back, "Let's go to Huichuntang first. I heard that Doctor Li there is a good doctor."

Chun Tao quickly responded, "Okay, Madam."

The two of them walked at a brisk pace, and soon arrived at Huichuntang. The strong smell of medicine in the clinic was straight into their noses, and several patients sat listlessly waiting to be seen.

Yunxi took two steps at a time and walked straight to the counter. Putting both hands on the counter, she asked anxiously, "Excuse me, is Doctor Li here?"

The guy at the counter raised his eyelids, took a look, and said slowly, "Doctor Li is treating a patient. Please wait a moment."

Yunxi paced back and forth anxiously in the lobby, her steps as quick as the wind, her brows tightly furrowed, and her lips unconsciously pressed into a line.

He clenched the handkerchief tightly in both hands, and his palms were sweaty.

Her eyes looked towards the inner hall from time to time, her eyes full of eagerness and anticipation.

Finally, Doctor Li came out. Yunxi hurriedly took two steps at a time to meet him, almost stumbling and falling.

She grabbed Doctor Li's sleeve, her voice trembling, "Doctor Li, please take a look at my prince's illness."

Doctor Li saw her like this and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. Speak slowly."

As he spoke, he gently patted Yunxi's hand.

Yunxi calmed down and said with a gasp, "Doctor Li, the prince has been drowsy these past few days, has no appetite, and keeps complaining of headaches. What should we do?"

As she spoke, she gestured, her eyes wide open, afraid of missing any details.

Doctor Li stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and listened carefully to Yunxi's description.

After she finished speaking, Doctor Li said, "Madam, this condition is quite complicated. I must go with you to the Marquis' Mansion to take a look."

Yunxi nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice, a spark of hope instantly ignited in her eyes: "That's great, thank you, Doctor Li."

As he spoke, he led the way in front, and his steps were so fast that Chuntao could hardly keep up.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Doctor Li carefully took the prince's pulse and examined him again.

During this period, Yunxi didn't dare to breathe, staring at Doctor Li's actions without blinking.

"Madam, the prince's illness has lasted for a long time. I will prescribe some medicine to try first, but..." Doctor Li hesitated to speak.

When Yunxi heard this, her heart immediately jumped into her throat. She rushed to Doctor Li and asked anxiously, "But what?

Doctor Li, please feel free to speak."

Doctor Li sighed and shook his head helplessly: "We can only do our best with this medicine. I can't guarantee it will be effective."

Yunxi's eyes dimmed instantly, and her body swayed as if her spine had been pulled out.

But she still forced herself to cheer up and bowed deeply to Doctor Li: "Thank you, Doctor Li, no matter what."

After seeing off Doctor Li, Yunxi took Chuntao out again. Chuntao trotted after them, panting with exhaustion: "Madam, please go slower and wait for me."

Yunxi didn't even turn around, and kept walking: "Chuntao, hurry up, don't delay."

Chun Tao finally caught up with Yun Xi. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked, "Madam, where are we going?"

Yunxi kept walking, biting her lip and said, "Let's go to Qingfeng Temple outside the city. I heard that the abbot there is proficient in medicine and is compassionate. Maybe he can find a way."

Along the way, Yunxi's mind was completely on the prince's illness. Her feet were as fast as the wind, and the hem of her skirt swayed back and forth with her quick steps.

Her brows were furrowed, her lips were tightly pursed, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but she didn't bother to wipe them away.

His eyes were staring straight ahead, as if he could see the prince recovering through the road.

When they arrived at Qingfeng Temple, Yunxi walked so quickly that even the accessories on her body made a jingling sound.

As soon as she entered the temple, she fell to her knees and bowed with great piety, as if she wanted to pour all her expectations into this bow.

Then she stood up, not even bothering to brush the dust off her knees, and eagerly asked to see the host.

The host was an old man with a kind face, wearing a monk's robe that was washed a little white, and he walked out slowly.

He looked at Yunxi with a calm gaze, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, female donor, what is the matter?"

Yunxi hurried forward and said quickly, "Master, my prince is seriously ill. I beg you to help."

After hearing Yunxi's explanation of her purpose, the abbot shook his head slightly and said slowly, "Amitabha, Madam, I am not an expert in medicine and I am afraid I cannot help you."

Yunxi's face was instantly filled with disappointment, and the light in her eyes dimmed a little, but she still forced herself to cheer up, clasped her hands together and bowed deeply to the host, "Thank you, Master, for bothering me."

Yunxi turned and left Qingfeng Temple, his steps slightly heavy. After leaving Qingfeng Temple, Yunxi immediately went around asking around for the whereabouts of the famous doctor.

She asked everyone she met, and her anxious look made people feel pity for her.

Throughout the day, Yunxi went to several clinics and saw several doctors.

In a clinic, Yunxi just walked in and shouted loudly: "Doctor, please save my prince!"

The doctor sat behind the table, stroked his beard, and said slowly, "Don't worry, madam. I'll tell you slowly."

Yunxi quickly told the doctor all of the prince's symptoms. The doctor frowned, pondered for a moment, and shook his head: "Madam, I can't treat this disease. Please seek help from someone else."

After hearing this, Yunxi's hopes were dashed again.

In another medical clinic, Yunxi almost bumped into a waiter before she even entered the door.

She rushed into the clinic, grabbed an old doctor's sleeve, and pleaded in her eyes: "Doctor, please be kind and go see my prince."

The old doctor looked embarrassed: "Madam, I have a patient on hand, I really can't leave."

Yunxi's face was full of disappointment, and she turned around and ran to the next house.

But no satisfactory results were obtained.

In the evening, Yunxi dragged her exhausted body back to the Marquis' Mansion. Her once straight back now bent slightly.

Seeing Yunxi's state, Yunyao, the daughter of the Marquis's family, walked over with a twisted waist and a mocking smile on her face. "Oh, you've been running around all day and haven't cured the prince's illness. It's really a waste of effort."

Yunxi suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, and glared at her, "Shut up!

I won't give up." Yun Yao snorted and flicked her handkerchief. "Hmph, let's see what tricks you can come up with."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yunxi didn't bother to argue with her and quickly returned to the prince's room.

Looking at the unconscious prince, tears couldn't help but flow down.

She sat down beside the bed, gently held the prince's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, you must hold on. I will definitely find a doctor who can cure you."

Yunxi murmured to herself, and her tears dripped onto the prince's hand.

The next day, Yunxi went out early again.

This time, she came to the residence of a famous doctor who lived in seclusion in the mountains.

The path through the forest was not easy to walk on. Yunxi and Chuntao took one deep step and one shallow step, and Yunxi's skirt was often caught on the thorns on the side of the road.

She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly with one hand and held on to the tree trunk beside her with the other. Sweat was pouring down her face and she was breathing heavily.

Chuntao was also exhausted, her face flushed red as she muttered, "Miss, this road is too difficult to walk on!"

Yunxi gritted her teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go!"

After finally arriving at the place, Yunxi found that the famous doctor was not at home. Yunxi frowned and paced back and forth at the door, looking into the distance from time to time.

Chun Tao sat down on the ground and said weakly, "Miss, how long do we have to wait?"

Yunxi glared at her: "Get up, stop being so rude!"

Yunxi waited like this until the sun set, and then the famous doctor slowly returned.

Yunxi rushed forward, her face filled with anxiety as she said, "Doctor, please save my prince."

The famous doctor looked her up and down and said calmly, "Come with me."

When Yunxi heard this, a glimmer of hope immediately lit up in her eyes, and she hurriedly followed the famous doctor.

After entering the room, the famous doctor was sitting at the table. Yunxi stood beside him and anxiously described the prince's symptoms.

The famous doctor stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Madam, I can try, but I can't guarantee that I can cure it."

When Yunxi heard this, tears almost came out and she nodded hurriedly: "As long as you are willing to try, there is hope."

The famous doctor picked up the pen, quickly prescribed a few medicines and handed them to Yunxi.

Yunxi took it carefully, as if holding a rare treasure, and kept saying words of gratitude.

Yunxi thanked him profusely and hurried back to the mansion with the medicine. Along the way, Yunxi walked so fast that Chuntao couldn't keep up even at a jog.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi didn't even have time to rest, and immediately went into the kitchen to boil medicine herself.

She stood by the stove, staring at the medicine pot without blinking, the flames making her face red.

The medicine was ready. Yunxi held it carefully and walked quickly to the prince's room.

She gently helped the prince up and fed him medicine spoonful by spoonful, whispering, "Prince, get well soon."

But a few days passed and the prince's condition still showed no obvious improvement, and Yunxi's heart sank to the bottom again.

But she did not give up and continued to ask around, looking for a way to cure the prince.
