Chapter 421 Physician Zhao's Disappointment
"Ah Yue, will the medicine you took out have any effect on yourself?" Lu Zhijin asked with some concern. He had never seen such a pill before. He didn't know where Ah Yue got it from, but he knew it must have been hard-won.
"It has no effect, it's just that there's only one." Xiao Siyue suddenly remembered what the system had said, but she still said it was nothing.
"Well, it's good that it didn't have any effect." Lu Zhijin was deeply moved. Yue had given him such an important medicine without any hesitation.
With Lu Zhijin recovered, Xiao Siyue's gloom dissipated, and the two chatted sweetly.
The Lu family members waiting outside became anxious when Xiao Siyue didn't come out for a long time, so they went in to check on her.
I was stunned into silence as soon as I entered.
"Ah Jin, you...you're all better." Because Lu Zhijin in front of me was completely different from before. She was very energetic, just like she hadn't been sick at all. Except for looking a little thin, there was nothing wrong with her.
"Mother! Grandfather and Grandmother! I'm completely healed. It's all my fault for worrying you so much." A gentle smile, like the warm spring sun, bloomed on Lu Zhijin's slightly pale face. That smile seemed to dispel all the gloom and worries in the room, bringing joy and comfort to those who saw it.
"Good, good, good. My grandson, you really scared your grandmother to death." The old lady's eyes were filled with tears. There was nothing happier than seeing her grandson healthy now.
"Zhijin, is there anything else bothering you? Let Physician Zhao take another look at you." The old lady looked you up and down with concern.
"Grandmother, I'm all better now, I feel fine at all, but I'm a little hungry."
"Alright, alright, Grandma will have someone bring you food." Whether you want to eat or not is hard to say; you couldn't eat anything before.
"Thank you, Grandmother."
"Zhijin, let your mother see, let your mother take a good look." Madam Lu was in tears when she saw that her son was really alright. She had thought that she was going to lose her only son, and even thought that she would go with him after her son passed away. Now that her son was finally well, she thanked God that her son was not destined to die.
"Mother, I am an unfilial son, causing you so much worry." Looking at his mother, who had aged considerably and looked haggard, Lu Zhijin felt deeply guilty. He was not a good son.
"No child is more filial than my son, I know that." How could she not understand her son, just as she understood her husband back then? Family, country, and the world—without a country, where would a family be?
Physician Zhao was really eager to take Lu Zhijin's pulse. How could someone who was clearly on the verge of death suddenly be fine and just like a normal person? This was too strange.
"General Lu, may I take your pulse?"
Lu Zhijin glanced at Physician Zhao, then looked at Xiao Siyue standing by the bed, and finally said softly, "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Physician Zhao."
Physician Zhao couldn't wait to take Lu Zhijin's pulse. His expression was unpredictable. This was too amazing. He had been a physician for so many years and had seen so many strange patients, but he had never seen anything so miraculous. Lu Zhijin's body was now just like that of a normal person. No, it was even better than that of a normal person. Not only had the poison in his body been cured, but the hidden injuries he had suffered on the battlefield had also been completely healed.
It felt like I'd taken a miracle drug.
"Physician Zhao, is Zhijin alright?" The old Duke asked, noticing Physician Zhao's furrowed brows.
"Reporting to the Duke, the general is in good health. The poison in his body has been neutralized, and even his external injuries have healed." Upon hearing the voice, Physician Zhao moved his hand away, his tone surprised.
The old Duke was also surprised, but he didn't show it, because he also understood that something was wrong.
"General, have you taken any medicine before?" Physician Zhao couldn't help but ask, unable to contain his curiosity.
"I have taken it before. I got it by accident. I never thought it would save my life." Lu Zhijin told a lie. He couldn't involve A Yue. Who wouldn't want such a miraculous medicine? If people knew that the medicine belonged to A Yue, it would definitely bring her endless trouble.
"I wonder if the general could reveal the man's name? This is a miraculous medicine. If it can be researched, it will benefit countless people." Physician Zhao's eyes lit up, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.
"I'm sorry, I only got this miraculous medicine because I accidentally saved that person's life back then. But after that person gave me the medicine, he didn't leave his name, so I have no way of knowing."
Whether he believed it or not, Physician Zhao said with some disappointment, "That's such a pity."
“Yes, if we had known that person was so capable, we should have asked more questions back then,” Lu Zhijin echoed.
"Now that the general has recovered, I will take my leave."
"Thank you for your hard work, Physician Zhao, during this time."
"General, you are too kind. I am ashamed." Although he had been busy for a long time, he had not been able to help.
"The old Duchess takes her leave." After saying this, Physician Zhao hurriedly left. He wanted to go back and study his medical skills to see if he could research such a miraculous medicine.
After Physician Zhao left, the Lu family was overjoyed, all happy for Lu Zhijin.
The old Duke wanted to ask Lu Zhijin something, but when he saw his grandson's gaze fixed on the Xiao family girl, he stopped talking.
Well, Zhijin is awake now, so there's no rush.
Madam Lu was delighted, took Xiao Siyue's hand, and smiled broadly.
"Zhijin, Yue'er suffered a lot for you this time, taking care of you every day. You can't let Yue'er down, you understand?"
Lu Zhijin glanced at Xiao Siyue, his eyes filled with tenderness, and then solemnly said, "Mother, I will never let A-Yue down in this lifetime."
"Good, good, good! Mother likes Yue'er very much. Mother is looking forward to Yue'er becoming my daughter-in-law. In a few days, I will go to Lord Xiao to propose marriage." Madam Lu laughed heartily, extremely satisfied.
"Thank you ma'am."
"Yue'er, you've worked so hard. Aunt Rou thanks you for not giving up on Zhijin. You're the only daughter-in-law I've ever had in my life." Lu Zhijin took Xiao Siyue's hand and placed it in his. If he used to like Xiao Siyue, now he not only liked her but was also moved and felt guilty.
The events of the past few months were still vivid in her mind. She had witnessed how this girl took care of Zhi Jin, and she believed that no one else could do it, not even herself. No woman was more suitable for Zhi Jin than Yue'er.
Xiao Siyue looked shy. Despite the traditional female modesty, she came to the Lu residence every day to accompany Lu Zhijin. Perhaps others thought it was not worth it, but she did not regret it and was willing to do so.
"Aunt Rou, thank you."
"It's Aunt Rou who should thank you," Madam Lu said, shaking her head.
"Alright, I won't disturb you anymore, you two talk." Seeing that her son's eyes were only on Xiao Siyue, Madam Lu didn't want to bother them any longer.
