The middle-aged woman nodded in amazement, “Yes, yes, yes! Little doctor, my back has been hurting severely lately, making it hard for me to do any physical work. Especially during my menstrual period, it’s so intense. On those days, it’s even hard to get out of bed. Little doctor, can this be cured?”
The people around marveled, not expecting Young Master Xiaonan to be right!
Gu Xiaonan nodded. “In this situation, there’s a lack of energy in the lower abdomen and a deficiency in the body’s vital energy pathways. To address this, deer antler can be used to boost the energy flow in the governing vessel, while deer frost helps to stimulate the governing vessel’s energy movement. Additionally, dong quai serves as a remedy to enhance the flow of vital energy in the bloodstream. When paired with deer antler, it can directly access the core energy center, stabilizing and managing the issue of menstrual blood loss…”
Bo He, standing beside, noted down the prescription he mentioned.
Gu Xiaonan said, “Take this prescription written by Sister Bo He to Hundred Herb Hall to get the medicine. We have already arranged with Hundred Herb Hall that anyone who brings a prescription from our residence today will not need to pay.”
The middle-aged woman was immensely grateful.
Seeing how Gu Xiaonan could diagnose her condition, she believed in his true ability.
Everyone was impressed by his articulate explanation.
Especially those present who had studied medicine, they couldn’t help but nod in admiration. “Brilliant! Truly brilliant! If his diagnosis is correct, this prescription is definitely the best. Such talent at such a young age is indeed rare! Very rare!!”
The speaker was Doctor Xu from Tianjing City’s Revival Hall.
Recognizing him, the people around trusted his words even more, thus looking at Gu Xiaonan with even greater admiration.
The next patient stepped forward and sat opposite Gu Xiaonan.
He continued to diagnose without being swayed by praise or criticism.
Watching from the side, Gu Qingluan couldn’t stop smiling at her son’s outstanding performance.
Feng Tianlan was also surprised by Gu Xiaonan’s performance. “You’ve taught Xiaonan very well.”
“He has been smart since he was young, grasping concepts quickly, and he’s particularly interested in new things, especially medicine. Not only is he talented, but he is also pa.s.sionate. Actually, 1 haven’t taught him much; he learned most of it from reading books himself.”
Feng Tianlan’s gaze lingered on the small figure, and the image described by her involuntarily merged with that of the young Yuanxi in his mind.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Xiaonan and Yuanxi were so alike, could he be his son…
Although Qingluan had previously denied it vehemently, so much time had pa.s.sed, and he had never seen any man close to her, nor had he heard them mention Xiaonan’s father. Moreover, Xiaonan’s various behaviors didn’t seem like those of an adopted child; it was clear he was her biological son.
If there was no other man… then the child’s father…
Feng Tianlan’s heart pounded wildly, his previous suspicions resurfacing.
He wondered, had he been mistaken from the start? Back then, when they first met again, it was the same person from five years ago, and she was still quite hesitant about him.
He turned his head to look at Gu Qingluan, his heart tumultuous, but his face betrayed no emotion. “Yuanxi too, they are really alike, both smart and adorable. They are of similar age too; if someone said they were twins, everyone would believe it.”
Gu Qingluan’s eyelid twitched.
Had he guessed it?
Since he never mentioned it before, she a.s.sumed he had completely forgotten to pursue Xiaonan’s origins.
During this time, she knew Xiaonan had gradually accepted him in his heart, but didn’t want to acknowledge him as his father on his own, waiting for the other party to discover it. Now, Xiaonan could finally get his wish.
By now, Gu Qingluan felt there was no need to keep it from Feng Tianlan anymore.
He had done so much for her, yet she had been hiding the fact that she had given birth to two sons, which seemed quite unfair.
Thus, she opened her mouth, intending to be honest with him.
At this moment, a commotion arose among the crowd.
Gu Qingluan’s attention was diverted.
“Please make way! Please, everyone, make way! Someone is in critical condition!”
Rustling sounds filled the air as people instinctively cleared a path.
They saw a beggar carrying a disheveled individual running towards them.
The ground was stained with a trail of blood, winding into the distance, disappearing from view.
Everyone gasped in shock.
“How did this happen? With so much blood loss, why wasn’t the injured person taken to the nearest clinic?”
Upon seeing this, Gu Xiaonan leaped off his chair and instructed the beggar to bring the injured person to a makeshift room nearby.
“I heard that the Jun Residence is hosting a free medical consultation event today. My old partner was accidentally bitten by a mystical beast and couldn’t afford to go to a clinic. That’s why we rushed here, begging Guardian Princess to save this humble woman’s life.”
After setting the injured person down, the beggar turned and scanned the crowd, quickly locking eyes with Gu Qingluan. He bowed deeply to her.
The crowd suddenly realized. “So, it was a mystical beast that caused the injury. No wonder there’s so much blood. This is a severe external wound. Shouldn’t Guardian Princess of the Nation take action? This is no ordinary illness; the patient’s condition can’t afford any delay, nor can it tolerate any mistakes..”
