Chapter 571: Only He Can Save Renyi
Chapter 571: Only He Can Save Renyi
As soon as she entered the room, Li Wan'er was like an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.
She paced back and forth in the room, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with anxiety and determination.
Suddenly, she stopped, turned around, looked at Fang Xiaoxiao and Liu Ruyan, and said firmly, "I can't just wait here. I have to go and ask the old doctor's senior brother myself. Only he can save Renyi."
Her voice trembled slightly, but it carried an undeniable determination, as if as long as they could invite that miracle doctor, Li Renyi would definitely be able to turn the tide.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and a hint of barely perceptible smugness flashed across her face.
She quickly stepped forward, took Li Wan'er's hand, and said with a smile, "Wan'er, I'll go with you! With me by your side, we can look after each other."
Liu Ruyan had her own plans. She keenly sensed that Li Wan'er still had deep feelings for Li Renyi. If Li Wan'er and Li Renyi reconciled, then she would have a chance to be with Zhao Wuji. Thinking of this, the corners of Liu Ruyan's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them, her brows furrowing slightly, a worried expression on her face.
She stepped forward, stopped Li Wan'er, and patiently advised, "Wan'er, I understand your concern for Li Renyi, but this matter should not be handled by us."
Marquis Jing'an is Li Renyi's father; he is the one who should be the one to invite that divine physician.
Besides, didn't that old doctor say that his senior apprentice is very stubborn and difficult to persuade? What if we go and not only fail to get him to come, but also waste time?
Fang Xiaoxiao's tone was sincere and firm, and her eyes revealed rationality and calmness.
Li Wan'er, however, seemed to be bewitched and wouldn't listen to Fang Xiaoxiao at all.
Her eyes reddened, tears welled up, and her voice trembled with sobs as she said, "Xiao Xiao, I can't wait any longer. So many people from the Jing'an Marquis's residence have come, but they still haven't managed to invite anyone. I'm afraid if we wait any longer, Ren Yi will..."
Li Wan'er couldn't continue speaking; tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her cheeks.
Liu Ruyan chimed in, adding fuel to the fire: "That's right, that's right. Wan'er is just trying to be kind. She's so worried about Li Renyi, so let's not stop her."
"Maybe if we go, we can even persuade that miracle doctor."
As Liu Ruyan spoke, she secretly glanced at Fang Xiaoxiao, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation.
Fang Xiaoxiao remained unmoved. She took a deep breath and patiently said again, "Wan'er, Ruyan, we can't let our emotions get the better of us."
We need to consider this matter carefully, but I believe Marquis Jing'an will handle it well.
"If we go there rashly, we'll only cause more trouble."
Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes were firm, and her tone left no room for doubt. She knew that her insistence was right and that she could not ruin important matters because of a momentary impulse.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Li Wan'er's face was streaked with tears, Liu Ruyan's face was full of expectation, while Fang Xiaoxiao's face was resolute. The three of them held their own opinions and refused to give in, and a small argument quietly unfolded in the small room.
The atmosphere inside the room was tense. Li Wan'er's face was covered in tears, and her eyes were filled with despair and helplessness. Her hands were tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, and her knuckles turned white from the force, as if she could grasp the last glimmer of hope.
Liu Ruyan looked on expectantly, her eyes darting back and forth between Li Wan'er and Fang Xiaoxiao. She was preoccupied with her own little scheme, hoping to quickly get Li Wan'er to find the divine doctor so that she could have a chance to get close to Zhao Wuji.
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the two emotionally charged individuals, took a deep breath, and tried to make her tone sound gentle yet firm: "Wan'er, Ruyan, everyone, please calm down first. I know you are extremely anxious, Wan'er, and wish you could immediately bring that divine doctor back to save Li Renyi. But we must act rationally and not act impulsively."
Fang Xiaoxiao paused, her gaze sweeping over the two of them, and then said, "I have a plan. Let's wait three days."
In these three days, let's see if Marquis Jing'an can invite the old doctor's senior brother.
Marquis Jing'an has extensive connections and abundant resources; if he personally goes to invite them, the chances of success are much greater than for us.
At this point, Fang Xiaoxiao looked at Li Wan'er, her eyes full of concern and reassurance: "Wan'er, in these three days, I will work day and night to develop a medicine to save Li Renyi."
While my medical skills aren't directly applicable to craniotomy, the pills might help alleviate his pain, improve his physical condition, and buy him a better chance for subsequent treatment.
Li Wan'er raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at Fang Xiaoxiao. Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Xiaoxiao, is what you said true?"
"Can you really develop a useful pill?" Her eyes held both doubt and anticipation, like seeing a faint glimmer of light in the darkness.
Fang Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, grasped Li Wan'er's hand, and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
"Let's wait patiently for the next three days; perhaps there will be good news from Marquis Jing'an soon."
Li Wan'er's resolve began to waver after hearing Fang Xiaoxiao's words.
She thought of Fang Xiaoxiao's intelligence and dedication to medical research, and perhaps she really could develop a useful pill.
Moreover, Marquis Jing'an was indeed more capable than himself of persuading that divine physician.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded slightly and said in a choked voice, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, I'll listen to you and wait three days."
Seeing that Li Wan'er had been persuaded, Liu Ruyan felt a little disappointed, but she quickly came up with another idea. Her eyes darted around, and she said, "In that case, I'll go home and ask my father."
He wields some power in the court; perhaps he can find out what kind of punishment those who attacked Li Renyi will ultimately receive.
Liu Ruyan said this partly because she didn't want to return empty-handed, and partly because she wanted to show off her abilities in front of everyone.
Fang Xiaoxiao and Li Wan'er both thought this was a good idea and nodded in agreement.
And so, everyone dispersed.
Fang Xiaoxiao returned to her room and immediately threw herself into the work of developing the pills.
She rummaged through her treasured medical books, carefully examined each prescription, and laid out all the medicinal herbs on the table, repeatedly considering the proportions of each herb.
With focused and determined eyes, he ground the medicinal herbs with a pestle in his hand, each stroke seemingly carrying blessings and hopes for Li Renyi.
As for Li Wan'er, she would get up and go to the City God Temple every morning before dawn.
She was dressed in simple clothes and walked quickly. Upon arriving at the City God Temple, she went straight to the statue of the god, knelt down slowly, clasped her hands together, and looked at him with piety and worry in her eyes.
"May the gods protect Renyi and keep him safe, and may he wake up soon."
He's still so young, and there are so many wonderful things he hasn't experienced yet...
Li Wan'er prayed softly, tears blurring her vision once more.
Every word she uttered was filled with deep concern and worry for Li Renyi, as if only through such prayer could she calm her restless heart.
