A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 417 Since you can’t let go, why not give it a try?

At 9:00 p.m. the next day, the carriage of Sanxiu Pharmacy arrived at Xuancheng Fuyuan. Without waiting for Sanxiu to get off the carriage, the anxious Yu Cheng dragged him into the garden.

"Put me down now, you little brat. I have legs and can walk by myself!" Sanxiu was shocked and angry. He stared at Yu Cheng and struggled on his back. However, his strength was no match for the strong Yu Cheng!

"I'm sorry, sir. The poison in His Highness' body has not been cured yet and we cannot delay any longer. You are too slow and I have to apologize." Yu Cheng walked quickly and apologized repeatedly.

After applying the ointment given by Sanxiu last night, the swelling on his face has subsided a lot and the red marks have gradually faded.

"You ungrateful brat, how am I slow in my steps?" Sanxiu's face became even gloomier upon hearing this, and he slapped Yu Cheng on the back of the head fiercely, but he was a doctor after all, and no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to hit someone on the head with all his strength.

Although Sanxiu is old, he never likes to be treated like a waste. Even when he caught a cold and his limbs were weak, he never let his apprentice Xiuming carry him on his back. He didn't expect that today he would be forced to walk on someone's back just because he walked too slowly. How could he not be panicked?

With Yu Cheng's quick pace, the two of them soon arrived at the bedroom where Prince Zong lived. At this time, Mr. Fan, Arnold and others had already been waiting outside the door. When they saw Mr. Sanxiu, Mr. Fan hurriedly invited him into the house without even having time to greet him.

Doctor Qi, who had been waiting in the room yesterday, was still waiting. When he saw that Mr. Fan had invited another doctor, he finally felt relieved.

Seeing Yan Zong still unconscious on the bed, Sanxiu walked up to him without saying a word, grabbed his wrist and began to feel his pulse, while asking Mr. Fan:

"He has not woken up since being poisoned?"

"I haven't woken up yet." Mr. Fan nodded and replied.

Sanxiu remained silent after hearing this. After taking Yan Zong's pulse and carefully examining his face, hands and feet, he asked Doctor Qi again, "Has the blood been drained from the Weizhong point?"

"Yes, senior, a lot of poisonous blood was released yesterday." Doctor Qi stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Sanxiu also nodded with confidence, then took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, poured out two pills and put them into Yan Zong's mouth, then stood up and walked to the table in the outer room and began to write the prescription.

"What happened? What kind of poison did His Highness get poisoned by?" The other two people in the room also followed out, and Mr. Fan asked nervously.

"Don't worry, he won't die. Although he was poisoned by the powerful arrow poison tree, fortunately the poison was not serious. Thanks to Doctor Qi for releasing the poisonous blood in time and protecting the heart meridian with medicine, the poison in the body was blocked from paralyzing the heart and clotting the blood vessels. Now we just need to expel the remaining poison that has entered other organs and he will be fine." Sanxiu said slowly and handed the written prescription to Mr. Fan, and continued to instruct: "Today's dosage is doubled, and tomorrow you will start to decoct it according to the prescription."

After taking the prescription, Mr. Fan hurriedly turned around and walked out of the house.

"It turns out that the prince was infected with the arrow poison plant. I may have used the right method by accident, but in the final analysis, my medical skills are not very good." Doctor Qi on the side suddenly realized, but then felt ashamed of his shallow medical skills, so he lowered his head and saluted Sanxiu.

"This kind of poison is often applied to hidden weapons to kill people. It often appears in the fighting and killing of the underworld or in power struggles. Ordinary people rarely see it. Doctor Qi does not need to feel ashamed." Sanxiu smiled and stroked his white beard disapprovingly.

"I did hear my teacher mention it when I was studying medicine. Alas, I was too stupid to remember it at the moment." Doctor Qi was not reassured by Sanxiu's words, but continued to shake his head and sigh.

"How can you think of so many things in such a hurry? Doctor Qi, please stop sighing. The doctor who can be invited by Mr. Fan to treat the prince must be one of the best doctors in Xuancheng." Sanxiu thought that Doctor Qi was being modest, so he patted his arm to comfort him again and turned back to Yan Zong's bed. He put his hands behind his back and snorted, and then began to whisper: "You kid, you are already in your twenties, why don't you learn from your mistakes? What are you trying to show off? Oh, is this the brain of a dignified prince? You still want to marry my A Yao, dream on!"

Doctor Qi followed Sanxiu into the inner room. Although he couldn't hear what Sanxiu was muttering, he was so frightened by his stern face and the sternness of an elder that he dared not say a word and unconsciously took two steps back.

At the same time, several people who were anxiously waiting outside the house rushed forward when they saw Mr. Fan coming out, and started asking questions one after another.

"Your Highness is fine, you can all go and get busy." After Mr. Fan handed the prescription to the guard beside him, he finally smiled again and gave instructions to the people in front of him.

Everyone was relieved upon hearing this, and then they all left. Only Arnold was still leaning against the door and looking into the house with a worried look on his face.

Mr. Fan also knew that he was afraid of Mr. Sanxiu and didn't dare to go in, so he smiled and advised him: "Don't worry about Mr. Sanxiu in there. Go to the kitchen and ask someone to prepare some porridge. If His Highness wakes up, he will definitely be hungry."

"Oh, I'll go right away." Arnold nodded obediently, which was rare.

Watching Arnold leaving like the wind, Mr. Fan smiled and turned back to the room.

Si Yao and Rong Fan went to see patients early in the morning and did not return to the pharmacy until after noon. Si Yao, who had been tossing and turning last night because she was worried about the prince, did not have lunch and hid in the tea room to rest. Although she was exhausted both physically and mentally, as soon as she closed her eyes, her concern for the prince came to her mind again, making her restless and she could not help but sigh weakly.

At this time, the door of the tea room was gently pushed open, Xiuming came in with porridge and vegetables, and smiled at the junior sister: "Since you can't sleep, let's have lunch first."

"Brother, I'm not hungry yet." Si Yao looked embarrassed. How could she eat when she was feeling depressed?

"You didn't eat much for breakfast today, and you've been out seeing patients for half a day, so how can you not be hungry? You're not made of iron." Xiu Ming smiled helplessly, and as he spoke, he placed two or three kinds of porridge and vegetables in front of his junior sister, and continued, "These are all your favorites, don't waste them."

Si Yao still had no appetite, but she didn't want to reject her senior brother's kindness, so she slowly picked up the bowl of pumpkin porridge in front of her and brought it to her mouth.

"That's right. No matter what happens, don't go hungry." Seeing his junior sister eating, Xiu Ming smiled warmly with relief.

"Chen Lin is taking a lunch break?" Si Yao also smiled faintly and asked.

"Well, I coaxed him to sleep for a long time." Xiu Ming poured himself two glasses of cold drinks and handed one to Si Yao, saying, "If you really can't let go, don't force yourself."

Si Yao was stunned for a moment. She naturally knew what her senior brother meant by this, so she lowered her eyes in panic and put down the bowl of porridge in her hand, but remained silent, not knowing how to start.

"Love between men and women comes from the heart and cannot be forced. If you can't let it go, why not give it a try? I hope you can let nature take its course and follow your heart's choice, and don't wrong yourself. Everything in this world has its destiny. Whether it is a calamity or a fate between you and the clan king, you need to experience it yourself to know."

Although Xiu Ming was also afraid that his junior sister would follow in his senior sister's footsteps, he couldn't bear it when he saw his junior sister suffering from suppressing her feelings.

After all, people have seven emotions and six desires, not gods, so how can they easily give up love? Instead of watching Junior Sister suffer, it is better to encourage her to go through this emotional test. Perhaps only by truly going through it can she completely let go and let it go.

"There will definitely be no good outcome for us, so why add to our worries?" Although Xiu Ming's words made Si Yao's heart surge for a moment, she soon shook her head in despair.

"Really? If Junior Sister is really so carefree, why would she hide in this teahouse alone in the middle of the day?" Xiu Ming also sighed helplessly. After he finished speaking, he saw Junior Sister was silent again. He stood up and walked to the window, looking outside, and continued: "Junior Sister has always been decisive in doing things. Do you know why you are dragging your feet on this matter? It's because your reason can no longer control your inner thoughts. If the life of the Zong Wang is really at stake this time, and Master can't save him, Junior Sister, can you really..."

"Tomorrow's patients will be handed over to you, senior brother." Before Xiu Ming could finish his words, Si Yao stood up and ran out of the tea room.

Thinking that the life of the prince was hanging by a thread, Si Yao's heart was broken as if by a knife and she could no longer sit still. Just as her senior brother said, since she couldn't let it go, why not let go for once?

Xiu Ming turned around and looked at his junior sister's disappearing figure and smiled gracefully. Then he sighed in his heart: I hope the prince will not let me down.

It was the first time that Si Yao ran unsteadily in the corridor. Fortunately, it was lunchtime at the pharmacy and no one saw her, otherwise she would have been frightened.

"Ms. Xin, come out!" Soon, Si Yao led a horse out of the stable and came to the outside of the farm. Then he looked around and called out urgently.

"Miss Si Yao, what's the matter?" A dark shadow appeared, and Xin Nu came to Si Yao and asked.

"Please take me to Xuancheng as soon as possible." Si Yao said as he handed the reins to the other party.

Xin Nu was surprised and happy when she heard this. She jumped onto the horse without saying anything else, then reached out to pull Si Yao up. The horse's hooves then clattered, leaving a cloud of dust.
