A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

The day after Nie Qianqian drugged Qian Yikuang, servants from the Qian family found Jishengtang, a few days earlier than she had expected.

The servants of the Qian family described Qian Yikuang's condition as very serious, and he was sweating profusely in the clinic, begging the doctor to treat him. Nie Qianqian then took the opportunity to offer to treat Master Qian at the Qian family as a physician.

Although Director Zhang found it somewhat strange that Nie Qianqian would suddenly volunteer to go out and see patients, he didn't take it too seriously.

Nie Qianqian followed the servants of the Qian family to the Qian residence. The Qian family mansion was in a very good location, in the bustling area of ​​Fulin County. The mansion was a three-courtyard complex. Although it could not compare with the Jiang family mansion, it could still be considered a large mansion in Fulin County.

When Nie Qianqian saw Qian Yikuang, he was lying paralyzed on the bed, his face sallow and lifeless, his eyes filled with despair and lifelessness. He didn't even have the strength to move a finger, and his once bulging belly had sunk down.

Nie Qianqian was puzzled. It was only the second day, so how could Qian Yikuang's symptoms be so severe?

Beside Qian Yikuang sat a beautiful woman, who was holding a bowl of congee and weeping with tears streaming down her face.

"Master, Master, what's wrong with you? How could you suddenly fall ill and suffer like this? I would rather bear all your pain than see you suffer even a little bit, sob sob..."

The woman wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was dressed very elegantly. She had a curvaceous figure, large breasts and a slender waist, and her every move exuded charm. She looked much younger than Qian Yikuang, probably in her early twenties.

This must be Liu Meiqing, the concubine whom Qian Yikuang has made his official wife. No wonder Qian Yikuang made her his official wife; few men could resist her looks and demeanor.

When Liu Meiqing saw the servants bringing Nie Qianqian over, she quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, stood up gracefully, and looked Nie Qianqian up and down with some curiosity. "This must be the doctor from Jishetang. Please take my husband's pulse and make sure he is cured."

Qian Yikuang knew the doctor had arrived, and his eyes darted around to look at Nie Qianqian, his gaze filled with helplessness.

Nie Qianqian didn't say much. She took Qian Yikuang's pulse and was surprised to find that in addition to the medicine Nie Qianqian had given him, there was also a slow-acting poison in Qian Yikuang's body.

This poison is not very potent, but it needs to be metabolized by the kidneys, which will increase the burden on the kidneys. Occasional use is not a big problem, but long-term use will cause irreversible damage to the kidneys. Eventually, the poisoned person will develop a serious kidney disease, namely uremia, which is incurable and leads to death.

The pulse diagnosis indicated that Qian Yikuang had been taking this poison for three years. If he continued to take it, he would likely develop uremia in another two years.

The diarrhea caused by Nie Qianqian was affected by this poison, which accelerated the course of the illness and aggravated the symptoms of the diarrhea.

No wonder Qian Yikuang became so ill after only one day of taking the medicine.

What an unlucky guy! I wonder who poisoned him.

Throughout Nie Qianqian's treatment, Liu Meiqing remained by her side, her slender eyes fixed on Nie Qianqian. Seeing Nie Qianqian withdraw her hand, she hurriedly asked, "How is it, doctor? What exactly is wrong with my husband?"

After a moment's thought, Nie Qianqian decided not to reveal Qian Yikuang's poisoning. Instead, she spoke slowly in a hoarse, aged voice: "My diagnosis is multiple food poisoning. I suspect Mr. Qian ate something unclean outside, and given his already imbalanced spleen and stomach, this has caused the severe vomiting and diarrhea. I will prescribe some medicine, along with my unique acupuncture method. In a few days, his spleen and stomach will be restored, and he will be fine."

When Qian Yikuang heard Nie Qianqian say that the illness could be cured in a few days, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he gave Nie Qianqian a grateful look.

Liu Meiqing's expression softened slightly. She loosened her grip on the handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with it. "That's good. Quickly ask Doctor Qian to prescribe medicine for my husband. I'll send someone to get the medicine right away. The sooner he's cured, the less suffering he'll endure."

Nie Qianqian wrote out the prescription and handed it to Liu Meiqing. "First, get the medicine and give it to Master Qian. Two hours after he takes it, the medicine will take effect. Then I will give Master Qian acupuncture. During this time, I need to stay and observe how Master Qian reacts to the medicine."

Liu Meiqing replied, "Meiqing understands. In that case, I will trouble Doctor Qian to rest in a guest room in my residence first. I will go and get the medicine right away."

Liu Meiqing held Qian Yikuang's hand with deep affection, "Don't worry, Master, you will be cured after taking the medicine. You should get some sleep first, and Meiqing will personally prepare the medicine for you."

Qian Yikuang looked at Liu Meiqing with a gentle gaze, nodded slightly, and closed his eyes.

After Liu Meiqing finished speaking, she called a servant to take Nie Qianqian to the guest room.

Shortly after being led to the guest room, Nie Qianqian climbed out the window and began to investigate the Qian residence.

Since arriving in this world, Nie Qianqian has been practicing martial arts almost every day without a single day of slack. Now she is agile and, with the help of the space she can enter at any time, she can come and go freely in the Qian mansion.

Nie Qianqian searched every possible hiding place in the Qian mansion, but she couldn't find the jade pendant.

When Nie Qianqian investigated the backyard, she was drawn by a suppressed, low sobbing sound. It was a maid hiding in a corner of the backyard, secretly burning paper money.

The young maid was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was very thin, and the clothes she was wearing were a bit small and didn't fit her well. If you looked closely, the cuffs of her clothes were faded and the seams were coming undone from washing.

The little maid's face was covered in tears as she sobbed softly, "Madam, today is the anniversary of your and the young master's death. Ah Ling is burning paper money for you."

“The master has not allowed anyone to live in your room anymore. Ah Ling cleans it every day, just like when you were here.”

"This year, the master asked Ah Ling again, saying that Ah Ling could leave the mansion, but Ah Ling refused. If Ah Ling leaves, who will clean your room properly, who will polish your jewelry properly, and who will change the flowers in your room?"

"You saved Ah Ling by the roadside back then. You are Ah Ling's savior. I will never forget you. Ah Ling is useless, so I have been staying in this mansion with you, Madam. Waaaaah."

Looking at the little girl with red, swollen eyes from crying, Nie Qianqian sighed inwardly: What a loyal servant she is.

The young girl must have been the personal maid of Qian Yikuang's deceased wife. Even after all these years, she still remembers her mistress.

Who's crying there?

A woman's voice suddenly rang out, and Ah Ling's low sobs came to an abrupt halt.

"It's you? What are you doing here! How dare you burn paper money in the mansion!"

Another maid saw Ah Ling and, her face full of anger, immediately began to curse.

"The master is ill, and you're burning paper money here? Isn't that bad luck!"

Ah Ling wiped away her tears. "Sister Shi Liu, today is the anniversary of the First Madam's death, that's why I'm burning paper money."

Upon hearing this, Sister Pomegranate raised her hand and slapped Ah Ling across the face. "There's only one madam in this mansion. Who told you to mention the previous one? If the madam hears this, she'll skin you alive!"

Ah Ling covered her face and remained silent, clearly accustomed to such treatment.

Shiliu pointed at A-Ling's nose, "Shut your mouth and don't talk nonsense and implicate us. We all know what the madam hates most. You hurry up and clean this place up and get to work. If I find out again, I'll tell the madam and have her kick you out of the mansion!"
