The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

It was already noon the next day when everyone rushed back to Liangzhou City.

After returning to the general's residence, Mrs. Huo washed, changed her clothes, and lay down on the bed to rest.

With Old Madam Huo speaking first, Xu Junjun and the other seven followed them into the mansion, and Huo Qiming couldn't just chase them away.

But before leaving the house to handle affairs, Huo Qiming went to see Xu Junjun specifically to warn her not to have any other thoughts.

Otherwise, be careful of losing your life in Liangzhou.

Xu Junjun didn't take Huo Qiming's words to heart at all. As soon as Huo Qiming left, she patted her butt and went to look for someone in Mrs. Huo's yard.

Mrs. Huo's health has been very poor this year. She was frightened yesterday and soon after returning home to sleep, she developed a high fever that wouldn't go away.

This frightened the maidservant who served Madam Huo, and she immediately sent for a doctor.

Xu Junjun walked to the gate of the courtyard, heard the situation, and immediately went into the courtyard to check Mrs. Huo's pulse.

Knowing that Mrs. Huo's high fever was caused by the aggravation of her heart fire due to fright, he immediately wrote out a prescription for antipyretic medicine and asked someone to get the medicine quickly.

The maids had never seen Xu Junjun before, so they didn't dare to move with the prescription in hand. Only after Xu Junjun frowned and scolded them did the maids take the prescription and go to get the medicine.

After getting the medicine back, the doctor who usually treated Madam Huo also hurried to the mansion.

The maids seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly welcomed the man in, made way for him, and let him examine Madam Huo.

Xu Junjun stood aside, just like Mu Jing, watching the scene in front of her quietly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

In the past, she was the doctor who had the final say in front of my grandmother.

Now, the little maidservant who serves my grandmother would rather trust a doctor from the frontier than prepare the medicine according to her instructions.

It’s true, times are different now.

Fortunately, Xu Junjun is not the type of person who gets sad about the passing of time.

This feeling of loss lingered in her heart for less than half a minute before she forgot about it.

After the doctor finished taking her pulse, Xu Junjun gave the maid a wink and asked her to take her prescription to the doctor for comparison.

The doctor was frowning in thought, but when he took the prescription and looked at it, he suddenly understood. He praised the medicine several times and then asked the maid who wrote the prescription.

Looking at the doctor's excited expression, the maids were embarrassed and silent, and all looked at Xu Junjun.

Seeing the doctor walking towards her happily with the prescription in hand, Xu Junjun raised an eyebrow and waited for his next words.

"My dear little brother, this prescription is excellent. Would you like to discuss Madam Huo's condition with me?"

Xu Junjun didn't want to pay attention to him, but after hearing this, she changed her mind and nodded:

"Of course, let's find another place to talk."

Mrs. Huo still had a high fever, and Xu Junjun didn't want to disturb her rest here, so she took the doctor to the next room.

Before leaving the room, Xu Junjun glanced at the doctor and said to the many maids behind her:

"Now that your doctor has looked at the prescription, you can safely prepare the medicine for the old lady, right?"

The maids present blushed and nodded:

"Alright, alright, the medicine has been brought back, we'll go boil it right away."

Seeing someone moving, Xu Junjun felt relieved and left with the doctor.

When she came back from discussing the old lady's physical condition with the doctor next door, the old lady Huo had already finished taking the medicine, was sweating, and was slightly sober.

Hearing that it was Jiang Xu who prescribed the medicine for her, Mrs. Huo nodded and drank a glass of warm water before asking:

"Where did they go?"

"Madam, Young Master Jiang is talking to the doctor in the next room."

Speak of the devil, here comes the devil. Before the maid could finish her words, Xu Junjun stepped into the room just as she finished speaking.

"Is the old lady feeling better?"

Seeing Mrs. Huo's haggard face, Xu Junjun felt uneasy and quickly stepped forward to take her pulse and diagnose it carefully.

The conclusion reached was the same as this morning: Grandma's qi and blood were severely depleted, and she was at the end of her strength. If she didn't take good care of her body, I'm afraid she would only have two months left.

Xu Junjun was silent, with waves of bitterness rising in her heart.

"Master Jiang, how is our old lady's health?

A few nights ago, the old lady kept coughing up blood."

Seeing that the young man had good medical skills, the maid who had been serving Madam Huo since she arrived in Liangzhou City asked a question.

Xu Junjun's eyes grew heavy, and she pressed down on her pulse with the three fingers. After a while, she met the kind gaze of Mrs. Huo, and her heart was in turmoil.

"The old lady has been extremely exhausted this past year. Is there something that's been weighing on her mind?"

The smile on Mrs. Huo's face faded, and she spoke politely:

“Just some worldly worries, not worth mentioning.

You don't need to be sad, everyone will die one day, everything is up to fate."

Xu Junjun said anxiously:

"Old Madam, please don't say such discouraging words. Although your health is weakened, if you take good care of yourself and take medicine on time, you can still..."

"Okay, I know my own body, so don't tell lies to make me happy.

For the rest of my life, I just want to stay in Liangzhou and take a closer look at the war outside the Great Wall."

Interrupting Xu Junjun's words, Mrs. Huo's face became increasingly tired.

Xu Junjun kept staring at her, his eyes changing from anxious to sad to calm, and finally he said nothing.

Sensing Xu Junjun's sadness, Mrs. Huo instructed her, just as she had instructed Huo Qiming in the past:

"Spring planting, summer growth, the changing of seasons, everything has its destiny. We should be more open-minded and not be too obsessed."

Having said that, Madam Huo stared at Xu Junjun's beautiful eyes and suddenly spoke:

“My child, you look very much like a younger generation whom I love dearly.

She is like you, always serious and passionate, as if she has endless enthusiasm for the world. If she were still alive, she would definitely become your friend.

Xu Junjun felt a sharp pain in her throat, and it took her a long time to suppress the sob that was rising in her throat.

Meeting Mrs. Huo's kind gaze, Xu Junjun suddenly felt the urge to tell her everything.

But Xu Junjun didn't dare, for she was worried that her grandmother would ask her to stay in the Huo Mansion if she knew she was still alive.

She couldn't agree, nor could she watch her grandmother die with regret.

Rather than making my grandmother suffer again before her death, it is better to pretend that I have never been to the frontier.

"Anyone who can be loved by the old lady must be very outstanding."

After praising him in a steady voice, Xu Junjun glanced at Shi Chen and said:

"Madam, you just finished taking your medicine. Please rest for a while. I will come and accompany you during dinner."

After Mrs. Huo nodded and went to sleep, Xu Junjun went straight to the courtyard where she lived, took out all her luggage, found a few medical books she brought with her, and looked through them carefully and anxiously.

She is not a god and cannot prolong people's lives.

The only thing she could do was to prescribe the best health-preserving recipe to reduce her grandmother's pain and suffering.
