Lin Shuwen panicked and hurriedly explained. "Miss Huo, I was thinking that the medicine I refined might be more effective than decocting it. That's why I took Young Master Pei's medicine."
Huo Yao smiled and shrugged. "That's why I asked you to take a look at him."
Even if the ingredients and dosage were the same, the final effect would be different depending on the preparation method. It was just like Chinese medicine and Western medicine. The former focused on gradual improvement, while the latter focused on high efficiency.
Pei Rong was probably trying to show off his alchemy skills and had neglected the most basic differentiation of medicinal ingredients.
Lin Shuwen was instantly rendered speechless by Huo Yao's rebuttal.
When he took the decoction, he assumed that Pei Rong was an intermediate apothecary. Since Pei Rong was an experienced apothecary, the medicine he refined would not have any problems. He had checked with Pei Rong several times before he switched the decoction to pills.
To ensure that Fang Chen's health was fine, he suggested Huo Yao to check on him again. Little did he expect that Huo Yao would be able to tell the difference as soon as she felt his pulse.
Fang Chen rolled his sleeves down and looked at Huo Yao. "I'm sorry. My secretary only wanted me to recover faster, so he switched the medicine. Is it going to affect him badly?"
Fang Chen could tell that despite Huo Yao's questioning tone, she did not mention anything wrong, so the medicine should be fine for now.
Huo Yao did not rebuke Fang Chen. Instead, she said airily, "It's not that bad. It just affects his recovery speed."
The moment she finished her sentence, Lin Shuwen looked at her in astonishment.
It was already affecting his recovery speed. How could it not be that bad?
Fang Chen's illness had been kept a secret since he had not appeared in public for many days. If this dragged on any longer, it would surely cause trouble.
Lin Shuwen regretted his decision. If he had not given Pei Rong's medicine to Fang Chen, would he be in a better state?
Lin Shuwen put on a serious expression and asked carefully, "If I continue to take the medicine according to your prescription, will it be okay?"
Huo Yao glanced at him. "Do you think you can change and continue the treatment whenever you want?"
Lin Shuwen did not dare to reply. Instead, he looked at Huo Yao with much more respect.
Just from the fact that the other party was able to suggest the dosage of medicine after taking his pulse, it was obvious that she was a capable person.
After a few seconds, Lin Shuwen asked in a low voice, "What do we do now?"
Huo Yao tapped her fingers on her knees nonchalantly. She did not reply to him.
For a moment, the entire hall was eerily quiet. In the end, it was Fang Chen who broke the silence. "Name your price."
Instead, she tilted her head to look at Lin Shuwen. "Pen and paper."
Lin Shuwen: "…"
That's it?
Lin Shuwen quickly retrieved a pen and notepad from his briefcase and handed them to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao re-listed a few more herbs before handing the notebook to Lin Shuwen. She paused before she added. "Don't waste any more money." Lin Shuwen was speechless.
Lin Shuwen: "…"
Lin Shuwen looked down at the consultation fee. It was seven figures again.
Huo Yao stood up from the couch and looked at Fang Chen calmly. "I'm not interested in your identity. We are just a doctor and patient. Nothing else matters."
