Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

Qin Yuehua raised her eyebrows, her eyes widened, and she looked incredulous... She shook her head and murmured: "Impossible, how is it possible? Before my mother died, she said it was due to blood deficiency, and then she died suddenly. Now she says the same thing again this time."

She couldn't believe it, her hands shaking uncontrollably. How could this be? How could this be? She didn't believe it, she didn't believe it. Her only brother would soon follow in her mother's footsteps and die with her.

She felt like the sky was falling. She couldn't help but step forward to check his pulse, and it was indeed as the imperial physician had said: a pulse of blood deficiency.

When Qin Xiang heard the news, he seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

His once upright figure, like a pine or cypress, now slumped involuntarily. Fate seemed especially cruel to this old man, a man who had weathered many storms.

He lost his beloved wife at a young age, and now in his old age, his daughter-in-law has suddenly passed away. Could it be that even his beloved grandson will meet with misfortune?

When he returned home this time, he had already made up his mind to bid farewell to the disputes in the court and devote himself to teaching his grandson at home.

He hoped that one day his grandson would grow up to be the pillar of the family, shouldering the immense burden of the Qin family. In this way, he would be worthy of his ancestors in the afterlife and could face their heroic spirits with peace of mind. However, reality is always full of uncertainty and helplessness.

Looking at his granddaughter who was also immersed in grief, Prime Minister Qin knew that as the head of the family, he had to be strong at this time.

So, he tried hard to suppress the surging sorrow in his heart, and forced himself to appear calm. He turned to Doctor Tang and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Doctor Tang. Please prescribe some medicine and give the child a thorough treatment."

Although the voice was calm, the sadness and anxiety contained in it were still difficult to conceal.

"Okay," Doctor Tang replied respectfully. He then quickly took out his writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and after careful consideration, he wrote down several fever-reducing and blood-nourishing prescriptions. He also left behind two bottles of plasters specifically for treating external injuries.

After writing the prescription, Imperial Physician Tang raised his head and carefully explained the medication to Prime Minister Qin: "First, take the fever-reducing medicine. After the high fever subsides, start taking the blood-nourishing medicine. As for the external plaster, apply it once every morning and evening."

After saying that, he handed the prescription to Prime Minister Qin.

After Imperial Physician Tang explained everything clearly, he once again cast his gaze on the frail, somewhat lonely old man and young boy, a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "I have heard that Prince Anding holds an extremely precious elixir in his hands. This elixir was carefully refined by the Divine Doctor Sect and is called the 'Original Qi Gathering Spirit Pill'.

I've heard this pill is incredibly effective, and it's sure to help your grandson's condition, perhaps even extending his lifespan by several decades."

When Qin Yuehua heard the name "King of Anding Zhou Huaixu", a light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and a ray of hope instantly ignited in her heart.

She couldn't help but wonder, wasn't the man she was about to marry the son of Prince Anding—Crown Prince Zhou Yao? If so, could the coveted Yuan Qi Gathering Pill also fall into their hands?

However, Qin Hui, the Prime Minister, was not as naive as his granddaughter. Despite this, he secretly thought that when Zhou Yao and others arrived in the capital, he might as well go and inquire about it in person.

Even if it means giving up his dignity or even paying a huge price, he would do it just to get this rare miraculous elixir for his grandson.

After the two of them politely bid farewell to Imperial Physician Tang, Qin Hui instructed the servants in the mansion to take good care of the young master. As he himself had many official duties to attend to, he had to leave first.

Qin Yuehua was left in Linfeng Pavilion to guard her unconscious brother.
