I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, at Lin Mansion in Yangzhou City.

Although An Wuxia had managed to obtain the thousand-year-old ocean glacier water, he still needed other precious medicinal materials if he wanted to successfully detoxify the 'Blue Stone Water Heart'.

Fortunately, these medicinal herbs were treasured in the Yanran Hall of the An family in Yangzhou. Qi Zhen and An Wuxia were eager to save people, so they took the risk to get the herbs and rushed to make the "Millennium Snow Poison Pill" overnight.

No one knew that An Wuxia had the treasured 'Ren Miao Hu Cup' to help. They thought that making the antidote would require a lot of manpower, so all the servants in the Lin Mansion prepared all the tools for making herbs. They brought all the tools for grinding, rolling, steaming, frying, and drying. An Wuxia waved her hand and refused to use any of them. Even Qi Zhen was surprised.

An Wuxia came to her room quietly and told no one to disturb her. She would prepare the antidote as soon as possible. In the room, she skillfully handed the thousand-year-old glacier snow water and other precious antidote herbs to the pharmaceutical department of the "Ren Miao Hu Cup". In a blink of an eye, the two bottles of "Millennium Snow Poison Pill" were successfully made.

Lin Ruhai took it that day and felt better. His internal organs were no longer in such unbearable pain, and his irritability and depression were also relieved. However, if he wanted to completely remove the poison, he needed to take it on time and in the right amount for two months.

Qi Zhen couldn't wait to hand over another bottle of antidote to the Meteor Army, asking them to find a way to get Empress Chen in the cold palace to take it as soon as possible to resolve his mother's current crisis.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. Xiao Daiyu was very happy to see that her father was able to get out of bed and sit for a while after taking medicine for several days.

However, An Wuxia quietly took the thousand-year-old glacier snow water that day, and Qi Zhen hurriedly ordered the Meteor Army to keep an eye on the group of foreigners and the salt officials, fearing that they would notice and retaliate against Lin Ruhai again.

At this time in Yangzhou city, there were lights and flowers everywhere, the night sky was bright, brilliant fireworks were rising and blooming, and the streets and alleys were filled with laughter.

Xiao Daiyu also took the medicine early, and helped her father take the medicine. While her father was in good spirits, she helped him sit on a chair, and the father and daughter opened the window to enjoy the fireworks together.

An Wuxia, who was in the room, looked at the fireworks outside the window and felt particularly lonely. She turned around and found Qi Zhen coming in from the window, with his hands gently hugging her waist from behind.

An Wuxia took away Qi Zhen's hands with extraordinary calmness and looked at Qi Zhen with eyes full of worry.

Qi Zhen's face was full of confusion. His face flushed like a child who had done something wrong. He said softly, "Miss An... do you... particularly hate me?!"

An Wuxia was extremely nervous, with a sour and sweet feeling in her heart, but she couldn't speak. After a long while, she looked at Qi Zhen's expectant eyes and said, "I... don't dare to hope... What's more... you are the prince of Dayao... In the future, it is more likely that..."

Qi Zhen smiled calmly, sighed and said, "So that's why. I thought you hated me so much that you kept me at a distance."

An Wuxia blushed at this moment. She trembled her lips and said, "We are from two different worlds! You have a special identity and too many missions to shoulder. You are destined not to be tied down by love affairs!"

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhen gazed at her affectionately, held her hands and said, "Although I was the crown prince before, I was not in harmony with my father's thoughts and ideas since I was a child, and I always insisted on my own opinions, so I was not favored by the emperor."

An Wuxia said: "Why are you so stubborn and unwilling to cater to the Holy Heart?!"

Qi Zhen looked into An Wuxia's eyes and said, "Because I can't go against my own heart! I also tried to please my father, but later I found that I could never do it. I am the eccentric and stubborn Qi Zhen."

An Wuxia looked into his eyes and said shyly: "Why are you telling me this?!"

Qi Zhen let her go, turned around and looked out the window and said, "I just want to tell you that although I am a prince, I am also a man of firm mind, not the royal nobleman you know."

An Wuxia smiled and shook his head and said, "But Third Prince, you are now in a period of keeping a low profile and making great plans. How can you easily touch upon the private affairs of your children at this time?!"

Qi Zhen looked at her again and said, "Of course I know the mission I'm facing, but when feelings come, who can control their heart?!"

An Wuxia avoided his gaze and said, "But now is not the time to talk about children's private affairs!"

Qi Zhen said: "But feelings do not affect our mission, and they are even the strength for us to move forward! Just like me, when I think of you, I feel extremely happy, full of strength, and forget all the pain!"

An Wuxia's heart was completely confused at this moment, like a million deer running around in a panic. She didn't know how to face this feeling. Should she refuse, accept, or wait... She just sat quietly on the stool, not knowing what to do.

Seeing her like this, Qi Zhen said worriedly, "I often see you deliberately avoiding my approach, and every time it's like a sword piercing my heart, but I still can't control my heart. What are you suffering from? Can you tell me? Otherwise, my heart will be hanging for you all the time, and I will be unable to sleep or eat for you all day long."

An Wuxia stood up quietly, sighed softly and said, "I just feel helpless about my expectations for the future. I am just a little maid, risking my life to protect the young master. My family's life and death are unknown. How can I have the courage to ask for love?!"

Qi Zhen patted her shoulder and said, "Didn't I say it? True feelings can be the driving force for us to move forward, not a hindrance. It was you who saved my life and gave me the light of hope in life. That's why I have the courage to face all the hardships and have the firm belief to work hard for the people of Dayao, and even more for you."

An Wuxia's eyes flickered with a little timidity and expectation. She finally mustered up the courage, looked at Qi Zhen and said, "Love is the most precious and happiest gift. I can't believe that if I have it now, will it suddenly disappear one day?!"

Qi Zhen pinched her little nose and said, "How can there be a silly girl like you in the world? You only know how to save people and don't know anything else."

An Wuxia turned around and smiled shyly. She thought of the queen again, so she asked, "Speaking of saving people, has the queen gotten better after taking the 'Millennium Snow Poison Pill'?"

Qi Zhen said with relief: "The pigeons in the palace sent a message that my mother has become much calmer after taking the antidote. Her spirit and body have recovered quickly, but she just slept all day."

An Wuxia pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, the Queen's poison has already corroded her heart and brain. She has been drowsy for a while because her body is adjusting to restore her mental consciousness. It will take some time for the Queen to completely recover and be as clear as before."

Qi Zhen said gratefully: "You not only saved my life, but also saved the lives of my mother and Lin Tanhua. I will never be able to repay this great kindness with my deep love in this life."

An Wuxia said playfully, "A doctor is like a parent to others. Who should you thank? I have tried my best to save your lives. What about my family? You should at least tell me about their news, right?!"

Qi Zhen fell silent after hearing these words. He looked at An Wuxia anxiously and said, "I know I can't hide it from you anymore, but you have to promise me that you will be strong after knowing the truth! No matter what happens, I will always be with you to face it together!"

An Wuxia's expectant eyes dimmed instantly, and she asked in a trembling voice: "My family...how is it?!"

Qi Zhen couldn't bear it but still said sadly: "Your father, mother and brother, with the help of the heroes, had already escaped from the pursuit of the Shadowless Army. But your grandparents were forced into a desperate situation by the Shadowless Army while on the run, and jumped off a cliff. In order to save your grandparents, they fought to the death with the Shadowless Army, and in the end all three of them were pushed into the abyss."

An Wuxia held back tears, biting her lips until they bled, and shook her head desperately, saying, "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Why didn't you tell me earlier! I want to go find them myself!"

Qi Zhen hugged her tightly, letting her struggle in pain, and said with great pity: "Things are not as bad as you think! I have already sent people to search and rescue at the bottom of the cliff! Calm down!"

An Wuxia suppressed his grief and said weakly: "Search and rescue?!...What about them?..."

Qi Zhen said with regret: "Your grandparents and parents are still alive, but they have been in a deep coma. Your brother lost his memory after being rescued, and his legs can no longer walk normally."

An Wuxia's bean-sized tears flowed like a torrent. Her body was like a deflated ball, soft and weak like cotton. She could only let Qi Zhen hold her tightly, leaning in his broad and strong arms, letting her tears wet Qi Zhen's clothes.
