I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

The 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Yangzhou City.

In order to let Lin Ruhai have a good rest and for safety reasons, An Wuxia and Qi Zhen left Lin Ruhai's bedroom. Just as they were about to leave the Lin Mansion, An Wuxia hesitated. She and the third prince made an appointment to meet in the back garden of the Lin Mansion at midnight.

She first returned to Daiyu's room and comforted her like a mother, telling her that her father's condition was not serious and asked her not to worry. Then she told her that in order to cure Lin Ruhai's illness, she needed to leave for a few days to collect herbs.

Finally, she gave Lin Ruhai a prescription to control the worsening of the poison, and told Xueyan and Nanny Wang to make sure that Lin Ruhai and Daiyu took the medicine on time and in the right amount, without any negligence. All other matters of the Lin Mansion were handed over to the housekeeper Lin Heming, who made sure that Lin Ruhai had a good rest and could not worry too much.

In this way, at midnight, she left the Lin Mansion with the Third Prince Qi Zhen with peace of mind. Two dark shadows flashed by hand in hand in the middle of the night, and in the blink of an eye, the Third Prince Qi Zhen stopped her and stood firmly on the ground safely.

In the dead of winter, An Wuxia looked around. Although the full moon was high in the sky, as bright as day, in the distance there were dense forests and towering mountains, and the sound of owls hooting at night. At the foot of the mountain, there were many tall stone beasts and stone gates. Obviously, there were many ancient tombs nearby.

An Wuxia couldn't help but get scared. She stuck close to the back of the Third Prince and said, "You brought me here to discuss something in the middle of the night. This is too unbelievable."

Qi Zhen smiled calmly and said, "This is the safest place."

An Wuxia looked around fearfully again and said, "I'm afraid there won't be a ghost here during the day. You are really brave."

Qi Zhen, dressed in black, hugged her tightly and said, "Don't be afraid! We are all righteous and upright, and we should not be afraid wherever we go."

An Wuxia said: "Having said that, it still makes people shudder."

Seeing that she was too nervous, Qi Zhen joked, "If you are so timid, why did you ask me to meet you in Yin Village in the south of the city? There used to be corpses everywhere there."

An Wuxia said confidently, "That was for your safety, so as not to attract the attention of the Shadowless Army. I was only interested in knowing if you were still alive, so I didn't have time to be afraid."

Qi Zhen hugged him tighter with his left hand, and couldn't help but hold An Wuxia's right hand with his right hand. An Wuxia felt a warm current flowing through her body for a moment, but she pulled her hand away as if she had been electrocuted, as if Qi Zhen's hand was on fire.

Qi Zhen was surprised by her strong reaction, and was a little overwhelmed to hide his nervousness. "Thank you for your hard work! Although it looks quiet and gloomy here, we are not alone."

He pointed his right hand in the direction of the Big Dipper in the night sky. Instantly, behind the tall stone beasts and stone gates, dim yellow and blue flames flickered, half bright and half dim, like ghost fires flying out of an ancient tomb.

An Wuxia said: "You are not going to take me into this ancient tomb! I won't go!"

After what happened just now, Qi Zhen had no choice but to hold her right wrist tightly and said, "You must believe me! If you are scared, just close your eyes! You don't have to be afraid of anything with me here!"

An Wuxia closed her eyes and was pulled forward by Qi Zhen. When they reached the center of one of the stone doors of the ancient tomb, he pressed his feet secretly on the auspicious flowing clouds carved on the blue bricks, and the stone door opened instantly. Qi Zhen pulled her and quickly slipped in.

Then he heard the rumbling sound of stones moving, as if the ground was shaking. When everything calmed down, Qi Zhen let go of her and said, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."

An Wuxia opened his eyes. This was a huge stone chamber. Various patterns were carved on the flat rock walls on all four sides. A huge lotus copper lamp was hung above, shining as brightly as day. It was obvious that this was the underground palace of the ancient tomb. At this moment, the stone chamber shook and opened again, and a group of men in black slowly came in from outside.

Before they bowed, Qi Zhen waved his hand and said, "Miss An and I are just discussing something here. I will call you if I need you. You can go back and rest first."

An Wuxia said calmly: "Using the ancient tomb palace as a cover is really thoughtful."

Qi Zhen said: "They just rest here at night."

An Wuxia looked at Qi Zhen and said confidently: "This should be the ancient tomb palace at the northwest foot of Shugang Mountain!"

Qi Zhen said: "How do you know this is the northwest foothills of Shugang?!"

An Wuxia smiled slightly, turned around and said, "This is in the most prosperous area of ​​Yangzhou, with many temples nearby, prosperous streets and waterways. During the day, the Meteor Army can pretend to be beggars in downtown areas and temples to beg and collect intelligence. At night, they can return to this eerie ancient tomb to rest and wait for missions."

Qi Zhen smiled and said, "You are only partially right. You will understand the rest in the future."

An Wuxia continued, "Third Prince, this place is so secret and safe. I want to meet my family here."

Qi Zhen was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "When the time is right, I will arrange for you to reunite, don't worry."

An Wuxia asked in confusion: "Why are you still waiting?! I can't wait to see them right away."

Qi Zhen comforted her and said, "I understand how you feel. You must believe me. I made this arrangement for the sake of your family."

An Wuxia asked anxiously, "Where are my family members now? Are they all right?"

Qi Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "They... are all fine, don't worry, I will arrange a time for you to meet."

An Wuxia asked with concern: "Are my grandparents, parents and brothers all together?"

Qi Zhen looked at An Wuxia hesitantly and said, "They... are naturally together. Don't worry too much. I will arrange a suitable time for you to reunite."

An Wuxia said in disbelief: "Where are they now?!"

Qi Zhen's eyes were full of determination at this moment. He couldn't help but hold her hands and said gently but firmly: "Don't worry! When the time is right, I will definitely help your family reunite."

An Wuxia's heart was truly filled with anticipation and anxiety. She hoped to be reunited with her family, but she was also afraid that her relatives would be harmed by the Shadowless Army during their escape, or something unexpected would happen.

Qi Zhen almost couldn't help telling her the truth at this moment, but he was afraid that she would be sad. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to make arrangements when the time was right.

After An Wuxia calmed down, she turned around and looked at Qi Zhen. At this moment, he had his eyes closed, leaning against the stone wall, as if he was in deep thought.

An Wuxia said: "What are you thinking about?!"

Qi Zhen slowly opened his eyes and said, "I have a lot of things on my mind, my country, my family, the people..."

An Wuxia said, "The Empress and the Salt Inspector were poisoned by Concubine Mu and her gang, but this poison comes from deep-sea animals, so I'm afraid the antidote is difficult to prepare."

Qi Zhen said worriedly: "No matter how difficult it is, we must develop an antidote. We cannot let our mother and Lin Qing's family die in vain."

An Wuxia said: "I will definitely do my best."

Qi Zhen excitedly held her hands and said, "It's not about trying your best, but about being successful. There can be no failure!"

An Wuxia pulled his hands free and said, "I know this concerns the lives of your loved ones. You are very worried. Am I not the same?!"

Qi Zhen knew that he had lost his composure a little, so he gradually said calmly: "Do you have any way to detoxify now? Do you have any difficulties that need my help?"

An Wuxia sighed softly and said, "There are two ways. One is to fight poison with poison, and the other is to take the antidote for this poison, 'Millennium Snow Poison Pill' to detoxify directly."

Qi Zhen said: "The two have been poisoned for a long time, we must not delay! Which one is the easiest to do?!"

An Wuxia said: "Using poison to fight poison is a common way to detoxify, but it is difficult to guarantee that everyone can successfully detoxify. The 'Millennium Snow Poison Pill' has a high chance of success, but..."

Qi Zhen said: "Just tell me if you have any difficulties. I will definitely try my best to make it happen with everyone."

An Wuxia said helplessly: "'Blue Stone Water Heart' is an oceanic poison. If we want to successfully prepare the antidote 'Millennium Snow Poison Pill', we need an extremely important medicinal ingredient, which is difficult for us in Dayao to find."

Qi Zhen's eyes sparkled with hope, determination and wisdom as he said, "What kind of medicinal herbs are they? No matter how difficult it is, we will find a way to find them."

An Wuxia said: "It is the meltwater from the glaciers that accumulated thousands of years ago in the deep sea!"

Qi Zhen said: "This is not easy to obtain! But my Great Yao has thousands of miles of sea and countless islands. I think it is possible to get some meltwater from the thousand-year-old snow and glaciers."

An Wuxia said: "Although our Great Yao has thousands of miles of sea, the climate here is mild and not suitable for the formation of snow mountains and glaciers. It is very difficult to find meltwater from glaciers that have accumulated snow for thousands of years."

Qi Zhen's eyes lit up as he said, "We have meltwater from the thousand-year-old snow and glaciers! In the extremely cold west of Dayao, there are countless thousand-year-old snow-capped mountains. We can send someone to get it right away."

An Wuxia shook his head and said, "No, it must be the meltwater from the thousand-year-old snow and glaciers in the ocean! Because the 'Blue Stone Water Heart' is also the cold poison of the ocean water."

Qi Zhen asked doubtfully, "Does it have to be meltwater from snow and glaciers that comes from the same source?"

An Wuxia nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes! The other medicinal ingredients of this 'Millennium Snow Poison Pill' can be barely gathered together by relying on the treasures collected by our An family for several generations. However, the meltwater from the deep sea thousand-year-old snow river is not easily obtained by ordinary people."

Qi Zhen fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, he suddenly said happily, "Concubine Mu won the emperor's favor with her exotic style, heavenly voice and graceful dance. In order to keep her singing beautiful, she often drinks melted water from snow mountains. I wonder if it is this deep-sea glacier meltwater. If it is, it would be great."

An Wuxia said: "It's not difficult to know whether Concubine Mu drank deep-sea glacier meltwater, but it's not easy to get it."

Qi Zhen's eyes turned smartly and he said, "Since the Portuguese in Yangzhou are colluding with Concubine Mu, we might as well investigate it secretly and find out."

An Wuxia heard this and said happily, "Third Prince, this is a great idea! If Concubine Mu drinks deep-sea glacier water, it must be provided by these foreigners. We can just borrow some."

Qi Zhen smiled and said: "The one who understands me best is 'Fairy Beauty and Wonderful Hands'!" After saying that, he looked at An Wuxia with tenderness in his eyes.

An Wuxia pretended not to notice and turned around quietly and said, "It seems that if you want to get the melted water from the deep sea snow river, you still have to take risks. I'm afraid that if you are not careful, you will alert the enemy."

Qi Zhen said confidently: "Everything depends on human effort. I have to think of a clever trick to pull the teeth out of the tiger's mouth."

Seeing Qi Zhen's determined look, An Wuxia advised him, "Third Prince, you'd better be careful. Have you forgotten that you were seriously injured and poisoned by the Wuying Army last time and almost lost your life?!"

Qi Zhen said indignantly: "The last time was the most dangerous time for me. Thousands of brothers died before I could fight my way out. Since they are not dead, I will definitely seek justice for them."

An Wuxia asked, "It is rumored that you were deposed as the crown prince and demoted to the King of Bohai. On the way to your fiefdom, you contracted a serious illness and died... Could it be that the Shadowless Army went on a killing spree?"

Qi Zhen recalled what happened more than a month ago, his eyes filled with hatred. He said word by word: "It was this treacherous mother and son who secretly ordered the Shadowless Army to kill me! Their methods were extremely cruel and inhumane. I was lucky enough to be able to save my life. It was really a blessing from God."

An Wuxia saw Qi Zhen's hands clenched tightly, as if he was crushing diamonds, making a squeaking sound. She looked at him with sympathy, thinking to herself: "What kind of hellish torture did the third prince go through to have such deep hatred! How many burdens did he carry to be like this..."

In order to help Qi Zhen regain his memory, An Wuxia patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Third Prince, you can save your life, you should thank me and our An family's unique collection of precious medicine!"

Qi Zhen's face still had a trace of pain, but then he raised his mouth slightly, and said with a little relief in the bitterness: "Yes, I should thank you very much, thank you for settling down in my family. But, how do you want me to thank you?!"

An Wuxia said confidently: "You said it. I saved your life. As a thank you, you can't die easily without my order, otherwise I will..."

Qi Zhen stared at her and said, "What else?!"

An Wuxia coughed lightly and said shyly, "No...nothing. If you want to test whether the foreigners have deep-sea glacier water, it will be very dangerous. I'm afraid they will poison you too."

Qi Zhen smiled brightly, and his handsome and bright face seemed to be instantly illuminated by the warm sunshine. He hugged An Wuxia's waist from behind and said, "What? Are you worried about me?..."

An Wuxia took his hand away, blushing and saying, "Hey, don't be so self-indulgent. I'm just afraid that you'll die. Wouldn't that be a waste of the life-saving medicine that our An family has carefully treasured for generations?!"

Qi Zhen's eyes were full of tenderness, but he could only look at An Wuxia's back and say, "I do need a medicinal ingredient from your An family before I can recover."

An Wuxia turned around and looked at her and said, "What kind of medicinal herbs? As long as they are not extremely special, our An family will definitely provide them!"

Qi Zhen quickly averted his eyes and said with a smile: "The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. The medicine I want can only be prepared by you."

An Wuxia didn't understand, so she smiled and said, "The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. However, the person we are looking for now is Concubine Mu and the foreigner. They may have ice and snow water that can save the Queen and Lord Lin."

Qi Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "To untie the bell, you need the person who tied it. To detoxify, you need the person who poisoned it!"

An Wuxia said worriedly and innocently, "We must be extremely careful and plan carefully before we can act. I don't want to add other patients when the Queen and Lord Lin are not yet cured of their poison."

Qi Zhen looked at her and nodded affirmatively, saying, "Don't worry! I'm still waiting for you to help me out! Of course, I have to be extremely careful."

An Wuxia patted his chest and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Third Prince! Our An family has been practicing medicine for generations, saving lives and healing the wounded. As long as we have the medicinal materials, we will give them to you without hesitation."

Qi Zhen smiled brightly, shook his head happily, then lowered his head and said in deep thought: "Okay! I will definitely ask you for this medicinal ingredient when the time comes!..."
