Hong Niang hurriedly ran over and saw Wen Cong sitting inside the hall.
Wen Cong looked her up and down the moment she appeared. She was old, gorgeously dressed, and had the smell of rouge on her body, which made people's nostrils choke.
Wen Cong hated this kind of person the most.
However, Hong Niang didn't care who he was. The first thing she said was, "Can you … really save Huazheng?"
She couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Wen Cong hid the discomfort in his eyes and got up to ask, "Where is she?"
"In the room."
"Take me there."
"Okay, okay, okay. Come with me."
Hong Niang immediately led him there. Along the way, Hong Niang held the handkerchief in her hand and asked, "Um … you are?"
Wen Cong glanced at her, "My surname is Wen."
"Doctor Wen." Hong Niang didn't know him, so she asked again, "Did Miss Ji ask you to come here?"
At this point, Wen Cong recalled that Ji Yunshu had used her illness in exchange for him saving Huazheng. He sighed, "It was indeed Miss Ji who asked me to save Huazheng, but … what is your relationship with her? Why would she help you?"
Ji Yunshu said that they met by chance. Although he didn't ask, he still felt that there was something fishy about it.
Hong Niang naturally couldn't say that she kidnapped Ji Yunshu in order to replace her daughter. Moreover, Ji Yunshu was kind-hearted and even promised to find a divine doctor to save Huazheng. She was truly ashamed, but she couldn't say it out of fear of losing face.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Miss Ji is kind, so she agreed to help."
Wen Cong was not stupid, so he didn't believe her.
Hong Niang clenched her fists nervously.
When they arrived at Huazheng's room, he smelled a very strong smell of medicine.
Just like what Ji Yunshu saw that night, there were all kinds of medicine pots and stoves outside, like a medical hall.
"Doctor Wen, my daughter is inside." Hong Niang led him into a small room inside.
He pushed the door open and saw Huazheng sleeping on the bed. Her face was pale, but there was no trace of blood. Even so, her face was beautiful, and her facial features were exquisite. It was no wonder that such a beauty could win the title of Top Courtesan and charm many men.
The moment Wen Cong saw her, he was stunned, and his expression was complicated.
Hong Niang caught his expression and became nervous for a moment. "Doctor Wen, my daughter, she … is she okay?"
Wen Cong didn't say anything. He walked to the bedside, took a chair, and sat down. He looked up at Hong Niang and said, "Take her hand out."
"Alright."
Hong Niang quickly took Huazheng's slender hand out of the quilt and put a thin handkerchief on her wrist.
Wen Cong felt his pulse. His expression was complicated and unfathomable.
Hongniang was sweating the whole time.
After taking the pulse, Wen Cong was silent for a while.
"How is it?"
Wen Cong asked, "Have you seen a doctor before?"
"Yes, I've invited many, but … but it's useless."
"Where's the medicine?"
"They are all outside."
Wen Cong immediately got up and went out. He glanced at the medicine jars and walked to a stove that was boiling medicine. He took a piece of cloth and took down the medicine jar. He poured the medicine into a bowl and sniffed it. His brows furrowed. "Why is there an angelica in the medicine?"
Hong Niang said, "Yes, I've always had Angelica. I've been drinking it for a long time."
"That's right."
That is.
What's wrong?
What does that mean?
Hong Niang held the handkerchief in front of her abdomen. She was extremely nervous. "Doctor Wen, what do you mean? Is there something wrong with this angelica? "
"There's nothing wrong with the angelica. The problem is with this bowl of medicine."
"Could it be that the medicine is poisoned?" Hong Niang was so scared that her face turned pale. She staggered two steps back. "I was wondering why my daughter wouldn't wake up after drinking the medicine for so long. Her body isn't as good as before. It's all because of this medicine! Why do those doctors want to harm my daughter? We have no enmity with them. "
As she spoke, she began to cry.
She was filled with anger.
Wen Cong was not used to people crying like this. He said, "Stop crying. I said there's something wrong with the medicine, not that it's poisoned."
Hong Niang immediately stopped crying. She wiped her tears and asked, "It's not poisoned? Then … then what's going on? "
"To tell you the truth, Miss Huazheng's illness isn't serious. As long as it's treated properly, she'll wake up in a short time. It's just that the doctors you hired are a bunch of quacks! They've prescribed tonic medicine. Huazheng's body can't take it, and the blood in her body will alternate between hot and cold. Over time, her body will suffer serious damage. Her seven blood vessels will be exhausted, and her bones will be sealed. If she continues to drink this medicine, don't expect her to wake up. "
"Uh …"
"Stop the medicine immediately!"
Although Hong Niang was frightened, she wasn't stupid. She thought about it and asked doubtfully, "What you said … is it true?"
After all, she didn't know Wen Cong.
She really didn't know whether it was true or not.
If the medicine was stopped, something would happen to Huazheng. What should she do then?
Wen Cong smiled. No one had ever dared to doubt his medical skills. Moreover, he was an expert in using poison. No poison could escape his eyes. This Hong Niang was interesting …
He said, "If Miss Ji hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have come. If you don't believe me, then forget it."
He waved his sleeves and prepared to leave.
After two steps, Hong Niang blocked his way. "I believe you. Since you're the physician invited by Miss Ji, I naturally believe you. After all, Miss Ji … wouldn't lie to me."
Wen Cong stared at her to see what she wanted to say.
Hong Niang asked, "Then what should we do now? As long as Physician Wen agrees to save her, I'm willing to do anything, no matter how much it costs …" She gritted her teeth. "I'm willing to pay!"
With the current situation at Jadeite Delight Pavilion, if Wen Cong really demanded an exorbitant price, she definitely wouldn't be able to afford it. However, when she thought that as long as Huazheng could wake up, Jadeite Delight Pavilion would be saved, so she didn't hesitate to pay any price.
Wen Cong smiled coldly. "I'm not doing this for money!"
"Then what do you want?"
"I don't want anything." Wen Cong agreed to Ji Yunshu's request to come here as a deal, not for money or other motives.
This made Hong Niang heave a sigh of relief.
He didn't want money!
He didn't want anything else!
This was like a huge pie falling from the sky. Whoever didn't accept it would be a fool!
She slowly bowed to express her gratitude. "Physician Wen is truly a savior. I, Hong Niang, and everyone in Jadeite Delight Pavilion are eternally grateful to you."
Wen Cong waved his hand and entered the cabinet. Without turning his head, he ordered, "Go and prepare some fresh ginger and brown sugar water, and a bag of silver needles."
Hong Niang was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly responded, "Yes, I'll go right away!"
After a while, Xiao Chen found those things.
"Physician Wen, what are these for?"
Fresh ginger and brown sugar water. Could it be medicine?
Wen Cong didn't say anything and opened the bag of silver needles …
