Gu Liyue looked at her with a strange expression. She then glanced at Lan Xiaoyu and saw that Lan Xiaoyu was looking at his mother with admiration: "Mother, let this brother help you, and you won't feel so bad."

Qiao Zhiwen said, "Let me take Madam Lan's pulse."

Tang Xiaoer thought that now that things had come to this, her only wish was to live a little longer, until Lan Xiaoyu grew up and was able to survive in this world.

She originally didn't want to see a doctor, but thinking of Lan Xiaoyu, she had no choice but to say, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Qiao."

Tang Xiaoer put her hand on the simple table, and Qiao Zhiwen reached out and placed his hand on her wrist.

Lan Xiaoyu looked at Li Xiuyuan nervously, but Qiao Zhiwen's face was calm, without any sign of emotion.

Just as Qiao Zhiwen withdrew his hand, Tang Xiaoer said to Lan Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, go and boil some water for your brother and sister."

Lan Xiaoyu didn't want to leave. He wanted to hear if his mother could be cured. She must be able to!

But he had to listen to his mother, who said that all she wanted from him was to be obedient. So he had no choice but to go to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water.

Gu Liyue knew that Mrs. Lan wanted to get rid of Lan Xiaoyu and didn't want Lan Xiaoyu to hear about her physical condition. She thought that she should be well aware of her physical condition.

Tang Xiaoer asked, "Mr. Qiao, how much time do I have left?"

Qiao Zhiwen spat out two words: "Half a year."

Tang Xiao'er was stunned as if struck by lightning.

"I see that Madam was once a cultivator. How did she come to such a place?" Gu Liyue said softly.

Tang Xiao'er calmed down: "It's all because of my youthful recklessness and my inability to judge people."

One sentence can describe half of a person's life, or even his entire life.

Gu Liyue thought about this sentence in her heart, and felt that she didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Tang Xiao'er asked again, "I wonder what Mr. Qiao's reward is?"

Qiao Zhiwen looked at Gu Liyue.

Gu Liyue said, "I can't cure Madam's illness with medicine, so we won't discuss any reward. We just came to see Xiaoyu because she's pretty and smart."

Whenever she thought of Xiaoyu, Tang Xiaoer felt heartbroken.

At this time, Qiao Zhiwen said: "Madam, you have an old injury near your Dantian, and poisonous miasma has entered your Dantian, causing your Dantian to be poisoned and unable to practice. Perhaps you can take the elixir."

When Gu Liyue heard this, she felt that it was somewhat similar to her previous situation. Apart from being unable to practice, she had no other symptoms before.

When Tang Xiaoer heard this, her expression became much better and her eyes were full of hope.

Then Qiao Zhiwen said, "But such an unconventional elixir might be hard to find."

Gu Liyue thought that the Dantian Miasma Elimination Pill she had refined might be effective, so she didn't listen carefully to Qiao Zhiwen's words. When she looked up, she saw that Mrs. Lan's face was pale again.

She looked at Qiao Zhiwen and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Zhiwen said truthfully, "I don't know the right recipe for this remedy. This kind of medicine is too rare and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find within six months."

Gu Liyue finally understood the reason why Mrs. Lan changed her expression. Qiao Zhiwen was really something. He gave people hope and then gave them despair. He couldn't even finish what he said at once, making people sad, happy, and sad again.

Gu Liyue remembered that she had refined the Dantian Miasma-Removing Pills before, and there were still four pills left in the jade bottle, which she placed in the space.

She pondered for a moment and said, "I have a few Dantian Miasma Elimination Pills. I wonder if they are suitable for the condition?"

The second half of the sentence was directed at Qiao Zhiwen.

Qiao Zhiwen said in surprise, "Dantian Miasma Elimination Pill, the name sounds like it would be suitable. But I can't guarantee the specific effects, as we'll have to wait and see."

Tang Xiaoer raised her head nervously, fearing that she would be twisted again. She was exhausted both physically and mentally. She looked at the two of them in disbelief and didn't dare to say a word.

After a moment, he thought that telling how he was injured might help him determine whether the pill was suitable for his condition.

Then he said, “When I was pregnant with Xiaoyu, my waist and abdomen were indeed injured. Later, my Dantian was also injured. I could still practice at the beginning, but my belly was already very big at that time. After a few days, my Dantian could no longer absorb spiritual energy.

In order not to harm the fetus, I didn't dare use any medicine. After giving birth to Lan Xiaoyu, my health was not good and I aged rapidly.

It is difficult for a monk to conceive a child. I didn’t expect that even after so many accidents, she was still able to give birth to a healthy child. It can be considered a blessing from God.

Qiao Zhiwen said, "I guess you were poisoned the second time you were hurt. Childbirth itself is a process that consumes your vital energy, and if you don't get it replenished, it will accelerate your aging."

Finally, Tang Xiaoer asked with difficulty, "Miss, I wonder what the reward is for this Dantian Miasma Elimination Pill."

Gu Liyue said, "I want to know about the spiritual herb market in Xiyun City. Do you know anything about it?"

Tang Xiaoer breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these two people might have been sent by God to help her.

"When my husband and I first settled in Xiyun City, we helped take care of the spiritual herbs in the Spiritual Herb Garden." She panted as she spoke, "I can take you to find a boss who grows spiritual herbs."

Gu Liyue immediately said, "No rush, let's try this pill first."

Gu Liyue took out a Dantian Miasma-Removing Pill and showed it to Qiao Zhiwen.

Qiao Zhiwen held it up to his nose and sniffed it. It smelled like fire lotus seeds. He remained calm and handed it to Mrs. Lan, saying, "You can give it a try. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to try it or not."

Tang Xiaoer took it and said, "Try, why not."

She knew that her situation couldn't get any worse. At most, the elixir would be ineffective and she would just suffer in vain.

Gu Liyue felt that Madam Lan seemed to have more energy and spirit at this moment, all for one hope.

Human life is so fragile, yet so tenacious.

Gu Liyue said: "It may be very painful after taking it, do you want to take it slowly first?"

Qiao Zhiwen glanced at Gu Liyue suspiciously.

Tang Xiaoer said impatiently: "No need to slow down, you guys help me watch over Lan Xiaoyu."

At this time, Lan Xiaoyu came over with a tray with three cups of water on it.

Tang Xiaoer picked up a cup and said to Lan Xiaoyu, "Mom is tired. Let's go in and rest for a while. You can entertain my brothers and sisters for me."

Lan Xiaoyu opened and closed her mouth without making a sound, then nodded and watched Mrs. Lan slowly but firmly walk towards the room and close the door.

Lan Xiaoyu looked at his mother and felt a little panicked. He turned around and looked at Gu Liyue and said, "Sister, what happened to my mother?"

Gu Liyue said: "Maybe she is really tired, let her rest for a while."

At this time, there was a noise in the room, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, and there was also the sound of heavy breathing.

Gu Liyue thought: There was no scream, this Mrs. Lan is quite patient.

Lan Xiaoyu stood up nervously and wanted to go to the room to check. Gu Liyue held his hand and said, "Don't worry, your mother is recovering and cannot be disturbed."

Lan Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with tears, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall. After a while, he asked cautiously, "Can my mother really be cured?"
