She Holds the World After Being Reborn

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: It’s nice looking, but a bit cold

After waiting a bit longer, Qin Wu also became anxious.

She urged Aman, "Go outside and see why that elder sister hasn’t returned."

She knew nothing about medical skills, and although Aman possessed great brute strength, he was completely ignorant about these matters.

Right now, their only hope rested on this enthusiastic village woman.

Aman pushed the door open to go out and saw the elder sister from afar, standing in front of a carriage speaking about something, occasionally casting glances in their direction.

It wasn’t long before the elder sister brought over a young man with rosy lips and pearly white teeth.

The youth was exceedingly handsome, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, displaying a tall and straight figure; however, his expression was solemn and he rarely smiled, approaching like a pine tree in the cold winter, exuding an aura that said strangers should keep their distance.

Handsome as he was,

he was a bit too cold.

Aman couldn’t help but rub the goosebumps on his arms.

Seeing Aman standing outside the door, the elder sister quickly pulled him inside and whispered, "I had to plead earnestly before he agreed to come over and help. Please don’t mind the fact that he’s a man."

As the man entered, Qin Wu was wiping sweat from Yan Wanqing’s forehead with a handkerchief.

"Is the doctor here?" Qin Wu turned around to look at the entrance; with one glance, she was stunned.

She never thought there could be another man in the world whose looks rivaled Xiao Pingfeng’s.

He truly made it hard for her to look away.

If Xiao Pingfeng was the moon reflected upon the lake, beautiful and exquisite, the man before her was the snowy scenery beneath the cold mountains, striking in a different way.

"It’s this young lady’s sister; please take a look at her," the elder sister enthusiastically invited the man to inspect the injury.

At this moment, Yan Wanqing lay on the couch, her complexion already somewhat ashen, and she appeared extremely weak, her breathing becoming difficult.

If she went untreated much longer, she indeed might not survive the night.

The gazes of Qin Wu and her servant were fixated on the man’s extraordinary beauty, and for a moment, they completely missed the look of astonishment that flashed in his eyes when he first laid eyes on Yan Wanqing.

"I cannot have outsiders present while I treat a patient," the man said in a cold voice.

Qin Wu snapped back from the distraction of his beauty, "My sister is unwed; perhaps I can stay and assist you, Doctor."

Handsome as he was, she still needed to be cautious.

Yan Wanqing was no ordinary person; she was the Princess Anping of Dawei and now the Great Marshal of the Western Expedition. If something were to happen to her now, Qin Wu feared that she might not be able to clear herself even with a reasonable explanation.

It might even be exploited by those with ulterior motives, potentially sparking a war between two nations, leading to irrevocable regret.

So today, she, Qin Wu, could definitely not step out.

The man gave her a look, as if considering her words, and eventually conceded, "Fine, everyone else out."

Relieved that she could stay, Qin Wu let out a sigh of relief.

The elder sister and Aman left the room.

As the door closed, the elder sister called out anxiously from outside, "Call me if you need anything."

Qin Wu hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

"Help your sister sit up," the man commanded indifferently.

Quickly, Qin Wu propped Yan Wanqing into a sitting position.

As she moved, the pain caused by touching the wound made Yan Wanqing groggily open her eyes, and she suddenly saw the man before her.

She reached out toward the man.

"...Brother?"

Was it her illusion?

Why was it that she could see her brother at this moment? Could it be that she was truly about to die...

The man watched as a tear leaked from the corner of Yan Wanqing’s eye, rolling down her cheek to her chin, before eventually disappearing into her clothing.

Somehow, his heart ached along with it.

Flashes of memories crossed his mind.

Children playing and frolicking...

It felt familiar, but in an instant, it was ripped from his mind, as if it had never happened.

This sense of loss made him involuntarily take out an elixir from his embrace and hand it to Qin Wu, "Let her take this."

This was the elixir the Sect Hierarch had given him to save his life.

It was the only one in the whole world.

As he handed it over, he even felt he had been bewitched.

But since he’d given it, he couldn’t ask for it back now without losing face.

Watching Qin Wu struggling to put the medicinal pill into Yan Wanqing’s mouth, he "casually" picked up a cup of water from the side table and passed it over.

The medicinal pill was finally swallowed by Yan Wanqing.

His heart, surprisingly, couldn’t help but relax.

Now it was time to use his Inner Strength to catalyze the elixir and unleash its healing effects.

The man stepped forward and lifted his hand, pressing it onto Yan Wanqing’s shoulder.

"Don’t, she’s injured here! Try a different spot," said Qin Wu when she saw Yan Wanqing furrow her brows. She hurriedly spoke to the man.

The man withdrew his hand and looked at his palm.

She’s injured here...

He remembered the hidden weapon he’d launched that night, which had struck right there.

Unreasonably, the man felt agitated.

An unclear sense of guilt made his expression even colder.

Qin Wu thought she had said something wrong and made the physician unhappy.

So, in the subsequent treatment, she didn’t dare to speak easily, afraid of annoying him. If he ran off halfway through the treatment, Yan Wanqing would truly die in the wilderness.

After an hour of healing.

When the man retracted his hand, his complexion had turned a few shades paler.

"Apply some golden sore medicine on the wound, then make sure she rests more and doesn’t exert herself, lest the wound reopens," he said.

Qin Wu listened to the man’s instructions and nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, Doctor." She called out to the doorway, "Aman, come in."

When Aman came in, under Qin Wu’s gaze, he pulled out a purse.

The man saw the purse appear and immediately raised his hand in refusal, "It was a small effort, not worth mentioning; keep the money for your sister’s treatment instead."

Saying that, he turned to leave.

Qin Wu quickly said, "You saved my sister’s life; if you don’t accept this token of gratitude, neither of us sisters will rest easy."

"It was the women of this village who asked me to come and treat her. If you truly wish to give thanks, thank them," he said, leaving without looking back.

Aman watched the man leave quickly, not even closing the door behind him, and couldn’t help but say, "King, that man was quite impolite."

"Quite the temper," Qin Wu said slowly as she looked out the door.

Aman: "..."

Qin Wu withdrew her gaze, "Then just as the gentleman said, give this Silver Coin to the eldest sister-in-law. It seems Yan Wanqing will have to recuperate here for the next few days, and we’ll be unable to leave for a while; it’s only right to compensate them for their trouble."

She just didn’t know if that gentleman would also stay here.

Qin Wu harbored a small hope in her heart but didn’t show it on her face.

She thought of the purpose of her journey, which was to fend off the old courtiers’ urging by capturing a young man who caught her eye to bring back as a husband.

But she couldn’t bear the sight of ordinary men.

So this was merely an excuse to placate the courtiers.

But now—

A hint of pink crossed Qin Wu’s cheeks.

It seemed not impossible to fulfill her desire, to find a husband she liked and bear his children.

"Aman, when you go to find the eldest sister-in-law, casually inquire how many days that gentleman will stay," Qin Wu coughed lightly. "Neither of us knows medicine; if that gentleman stays, we can also feel at ease."
