Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Autumn Harvest Seeking Medical Help (4)

Cui Pingan suddenly fell ill in front of Old Lady Cui and even the famous doctors were helpless. Old Lady Cui believed her grandson had been bewitched. Had Grand Master Cui not restrained her, Old Lady Cui would have gone to the Taoist temple in a heartbeat to find a Taoist priest to perform rituals to save her grandson.

"Wait here, I need to prepare myself before I accompany you," Mo Yan frowned slightly and said to the anxious maid before turning back to her own courtyard.

She knew she wasn’t anywhere near the level of the imperial physicians at Taiyi Hospital. If even they couldn’t diagnose the illness, she certainly had no clue what to do.

The only reason she had managed to help Cui Pingan improve his health before was after significant effort; now, the only hope she could place was on the Spirit Spring Water to reduce Cui Pingan’s fever. She could have outright refused, but having known them, it was only right to at least pay a visit even if she couldn’t be of any help.

After retrieving the Spirit Spring Water, Mo Yan hesitated for a moment before cutting off a small piece of Black Lingzhi with a knife and placing it in a jade box.

She had previously used a palm-sized piece of Black Lingzhi to exchange for Ginseng with the Black Cloud Leopard and some to detoxify Xiao Ruiyuan and Chu Heng. To stimulate the potential of Mao Tuan and the others, she used some more. Although the Black Lingzhi was large and more than half remained, it was a diminishing resource. She would never take it out unless it was a matter of life and death.

At this point, Mo Yan didn’t know the specifics of Cui Pingan’s condition or whether his life was in danger. Carrying the Black Lingzhi was just a precaution—If it could save a life, great; if not, it wouldn’t spoil back in the Space. There was no reluctance on her part in using it.

With no time to spare, Mo Yan took the Spirit Spring Water and Black Lingzhi and left the Space. Quickly changing into a new outfit amidst the maid’s urgent looks, she boarded Cui family’s carriage and hurried toward Jing City. Upon arrival at Cui Mansion, the carriage entered directly through the main gate.

Recently the mansion had been frequented by doctors, and although the servants found it odd that their young lady’s carriage would enter through the main gate, they assumed there was another famed physician inside summoned by the masters, and didn’t dwell on it.

Alighting from the carriage at the second gate, the maid led Mo Yan straight to Cui Pingan’s courtyard. By that time, Cui Pingan was lying on the bed, groggy and delirious. His face was flushed bright red and his lips, purple-red with layers of dead skin, kept uttering anguished murmurs. No matter how much Old Lady Cui and Cui Qingrou called out to him, he never opened his eyes.

Seeing the lively and cheerful young boy changed into this state, Mo Yan’s heart ached. She wasted no time with formalities and rushed to the window to check Cui Pingan’s pulse.

Old Lady Cui sat at the bedside, constantly in tears. When a strange girl suddenly rushed in, she was momentarily taken aback. Just as she was about to speak, Cui Qingrou stopped her, "Mother, this young lady is Princess Hejia. She is the one who treated Seventh before."

Upon hearing that, Old Lady Cui immediately held back from interrupting and looked at Mo Yan with eyes full of hope, showing no sign of disrespect despite Mo Yan’s youth.

The room fell silent as no one wanted to disturb Mo Yan while she was checking Cui Pingan’s pulse.

After a while, Mo Yan finally withdrew her hand. Facing the inquiring looks of Old Lady Cui and Cui Qingrou, she said nothing and leaned close to Cui Pingan, hearing him repeat "Fangcao" and "cousin" endlessly.

Recalling the times she teased Cui Pingan, when he blushed and told her about his beloved Fangcao, she understood why he would mutter about his beloved in his illness. But who was this "cousin" he mentioned? Moreover, his symptoms were clearly of a psychological nature. Without identifying the cause of his heartache, how could they find a cure?

Right now, the most important thing was to reduce Cui Pingan’s fever. Mo Yan took out a bottle of Spirit Spring Water from her medicine box and said to Cui Qingrou, "Lady, this is the fever-reducing water I prepared. Please give it to him."

Cui Qingrou eagerly took the medicine bottle, sat beside the bed, and with the help of a maid, propped her nephew up. She carefully uncorked the bottle and started to feed the Spirit Spring Water into his mouth, not hesitating in the slightest.

The trust they placed in her was heartening to Mo Yan!

It was only a small bottle of water, yet feeding it to the unconscious Cui Pingan was challenging. Concerned that spilling might affect the potency, Cui Qingrou took great care to administer it drop by drop. Despite her doubts about the clear and tasteless liquid, her trust in Mo Yan meant she didn’t question further. After feeding the whole bottle, a quarter-hour had passed.

True to its name, the Spirit Spring Water quickly took effect. Cui Pingan’s breathing became stable and he stopped deliriously murmuring, his calm expression resembling peaceful sleep.

Noticing the changes in their grandson (nephew), Old Lady Cui and Cui Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mo Yan’s medical skills with newfound respect.

Old Lady Cui, forgetting her seniority, stepped forward to pay respects to Mo Yan but was promptly stopped by Mo Yan, "Healing and saving lives is the duty of a doctor—I need not be thanked for that. However, psychological problems require a psychological remedy. If we can’t find the cause of your grandson’s heartache, his illness may be difficult to cure."
