Rebirth: Phoenix Riding the Ninth Heaven

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already deep autumn. The autumn wind blows, and the fallen leaves drift like golden butterflies. The leaves gradually turn yellow, as if tinged with a faint golden hue, evoking a feeling of warmth and tranquility. However, as the seasons change, they gradually wither and die, eventually falling to the earth, completing the cycle of life.

The autumn rain falls relentlessly, its fine threads weaving through the air like a misty scroll. The gentle patter of raindrops against the windows creates a crisp, melodious sound that brings joy to the heart. Each drop is like a kiss from nature, nourishing all things on earth and bringing them new life and vitality.

After an autumn rain, the weather grows colder, the chill deepening, and the autumnal spirit intensifies. People don thick clothing to ward off the sudden chill. The entire world seems immersed in a silence and tranquility, with only the sound of rain as a solace.

The scene at this moment was a scene of desolate beauty. The grass and trees had lost their former verdure, replaced by patches of withered yellow. Leaves had fallen from the branches, drifting to the ground in a thick layer. A gentle breeze rustled the fallen leaves, as if telling the story of the passage of time. The mountains in the distance were shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing, adding a mysterious atmosphere.

Although the autumn scenery may seem bleak, it is deeply poetic. This unique beauty invites us to experience the charm of nature and savor the true meaning of life. In this season, we can calm down, listen to the sound of rain, admire the falling leaves, and contemplate the meaning of life.

Li Ruoyue looked out the window at the rain, thinking this was a good opportunity to study medicine. However, the weather was getting colder, and she really didn't want to move. She only felt the chill all around her.

At this moment, Luzhu opened the door and walked in, bringing with her a gust of cold air. Li Ruoyue shuddered and complained to Luzhu, "Luzhu, close the door quickly! I'm freezing to death. Give me another brazier." As she spoke, she wrapped her cloak tightly around her.

After Luzhu closed the door, she added two more braziers to the room, and the room immediately became warmer. Li Ruoyue sat by the fire, continuing to read the medical book, occasionally picking up a pen to take notes.

The sound of rain outside the window grew louder, the raindrops hitting the window with a crisp sound. Li Ruoyue couldn't help but think of her childhood. Whenever there were rainy days like this, she always liked to hide at home, listening to the rain and enjoying the peace and tranquility. Although life has changed a lot now, her love for rainy days has never changed.

Lu Zhu looked at her young lady and spoke softly, "Young lady, there's a message from Qihuang Pavilion saying that Madam Lin Wan wants to come and see you this afternoon. She's been feeling unwell these past few days, dizzy and nauseous, weak all over, and has no appetite. I don't know what's going on. Do you want to go?"

Li Ruoyue frowned slightly, gently gathered her cloak, and sighed leisurely: "Let's go. She rushed to see me in such weather, so she must be really unwell. If she has some illness that can't be delayed, that would be bad. Let's pack up first and go over this afternoon."

In the afternoon, the sky finally stopped weeping, and sunlight shone through the clouds onto the earth. Li Ruoyue and Lu Zhu rode in a carriage together and arrived at Qihuang Pavilion. This was a pharmacy, one of Li Ruoyue's businesses. She hoped to understand the store's business conditions and the patients' conditions through this inspection.

When they arrived, Doctor Chen, Lu Yixuan, and Lin Feng had already been waiting at the door. Seeing Li Ruoyue get out of the car, they immediately went forward and greeted her warmly. Then, the group walked into the store and began their work for the day.

Inside the pharmacy, Dr. Chen gave a detailed overview of the pharmacy's operations and shared some recent cases he had treated. He explained that Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng had been studying medicine with him over the past few months and had made significant progress, quickly picking up the skills and demonstrating a strong medical aptitude. They were now able to independently handle common minor ailments and pains.

Li Ruoyue was delighted to hear this news. She knew the importance of medical skills and therefore had high hopes for Lu Yixuan and Lin Feng. She encouraged them to continue studying hard, improving their medical skills and relieving the suffering of more people. At the same time, she reminded them to remain humble and cautious, constantly delving into their medical skills, and become excellent doctors.

When Li Ruoyue arrived at the pharmacy, Lin Feng immediately went forward to greet her attentively, pouring water and making tea, and asked with concern: "Miss, are you cold? I'll get you a heater, you can hold it, so you can warm up." Then he turned around to get some snacks and said enthusiastically: "Miss, are you hungry? These snacks are delicious, please try them first."

Li Ruoyue couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Feng busying himself in front of her. She said gently, "Don't be busy anymore. Go do your own thing. I'll wait here for a while. Maybe Mrs. Lin will come soon."

Lin Feng touched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Miss, you are right. I will go and get busy now! If you have anything to do, just tell Sister Luzhu to call me and I will be there right away."

Lu Zhu smiled sweetly and teased, "Lin Feng, you are too attentive! We are not strangers. The young lady knows you well. Even if you fail to take good care of her, she will not be angry with you. You don't have to be so nervous. However, it is a good thing that you can take the initiative to learn medical skills. You can better help the young lady run the clinic."

Lin Feng nodded repeatedly and responded, "Yes, yes, Sister Lizhu is right. I was just so happy to see the young lady coming that I don't know how to express it."

Lin Feng gently closed the door and walked out. Li Ruoyue was the only one left in the room. She walked to the desk and sat down, and began to look at the proposals and financial statements accumulated in the past few days. She carefully flipped through each page, paying attention to the changes in the data of purchase and shipment. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lu Yixuan asked softly: "Miss, Mrs. Lin is here, can I take her to the back hall?" Li Ruoyue raised her head and replied calmly: "Okay, Luzhu, go open the door." Luzhu walked to the door, opened the door and said: "Miss has agreed, please bring Mrs. Lin in."

Mrs. Lin, supported by her maid, slowly walked into the room. Her face was pale, her steps were unsteady, and her voice was weak. "Doctor Li, please come and see if I'm dying. I'm terribly dizzy and nauseous. I can't even eat. It's so uncomfortable!"

Li Ruoyue looked at him and found that she did not look well, so she hurried forward to ask, "Mrs. Lin, haven't you seen another doctor? Why are you so weak? You should see another doctor first, don't delay your treatment by waiting for me."

Mrs. Lin said anxiously, "Doctor Li, I only trust you. I don't want anyone else to see me. Besides, I've been waiting for you to come all this time and haven't eaten much. It's really tormenting me to death!"

Mrs. Lin sat down at the table and held out her hand for Li Ruoyue to feel her pulse. As Li Ruoyue felt her pulse, her expression grew increasingly serious. She frowned, as if she had encountered some difficulty. Mrs. Lin, standing by, anxiously inquired, "Doctor Li, I don't have a terminal illness, do I? Please don't hide it from me! If there's anything, you have to tell me so I can be mentally prepared and make arrangements for my funeral..."

As she spoke, Mrs. Lin began to sob, tears streaming down her face. "Alas, there are still my parents. I must make arrangements for them. How can I let the elderly send their children to their graves?" She cried and talked to herself, as if she had already determined that she had an incurable disease.

However, before Li Ruoyue could even open her mouth to explain, Mrs. Lin had already imagined all sorts of tragic scenarios. The more she thought about them, the more heartbroken she became. In the end, she actually started crying and raving, talking nonsense. The whole scene became extremely chaotic and awkward.

Li Ruoyue quickly stopped Madam Lin from crying and speaking nonsense, and said anxiously, "Mrs. Lin, don't be anxious. Calm down and listen to me."

Seeing Li Ruoyue's serious face, Madam Lin stopped crying for a moment and asked, "Okay...Okay, Miss Li, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

Li Ruoyue asked seriously, "Mrs. Lin, let me ask you, when was your last menstrual period?"

Mrs. Lin was startled, and after thinking quickly, she replied, "It seems to be two months ago... No, it should be three months ago."

Li Ruoyue continued to ask: "So, are you sure it was three months ago?"

Mrs. Lin said uncertainly, "Well... it was about three months ago. My period has never been very regular. Sometimes it's a few days late, and sometimes it doesn't even come for a month."

Li Ruoyue nodded and asked, "So, have you felt anything unusual recently? For example, nausea, vomiting, or other symptoms?"

Mrs. Lin thought for a moment and replied, "I have nausea and vomiting, but I haven't had any symptoms in the past two days.

I feel a little tired and my appetite is not very good."

Li Ruoyue asked again: "Have you felt any changes in your abdomen? For example, has it become bigger or harder?"

Mrs. Lin was surprised and said, "Abdomen? It doesn't seem to be anything special... But when I think about it, it does seem to be a little bigger than before, but I thought I was just gaining weight."

Li Ruoyue smiled and said, "Mrs. Lin, don't worry. According to what you said, I diagnosed your pulse as being as smooth as a jade plate and pearls, indicating that you are more than two months pregnant.

When Mrs. Lin heard this, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, and she murmured to herself: "Pregnant? How is it possible? I am so old, and the master and I haven't had sex for a long time... Oh, no, it seems that the master came to my room drunk more than two months ago, maybe that time

Li Ruoyue comforted her, "Madam Lin, although this situation is relatively rare, it is not completely impossible. If you find an imperial physician to see her, you can confirm whether you are really pregnant. If so, you can prepare in advance."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes. She held Li Ruoyue's hand tightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Li. If it weren't for you helping me regulate my body, I'm afraid I would never be able to get pregnant in this lifetime. No matter what the result is, I will be grateful to you."

Li Ruoyue smiled and nodded, feeling happy for Mrs. Lin. She knew how happy it was for a woman to have her own child. At the same time, she also hoped that Mrs. Lin could successfully get through this special period and welcome the arrival of a new life.
