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

Jiang Lingyang rushed in first and immediately spotted Wei Susu sitting on the headboard.

When Wei Susu saw him, tears instantly streamed down her face.

Jiang Lingyang rushed forward, his voice anxious: "Susu, are you feeling unwell? Wasn't the surgery said to be successful? Why are you crying?"

Wei Susu has always been strong. Even when she was suffering the most from her illness, she rarely shed tears in front of him, let alone lose her composure like this.

Jiang Lingyang felt as if every tear was falling on his heart, causing him both pain and anxiety.

He didn't know that strong people don't cry in adversity, but rather when they finally see the light of day after passing through thunderstorms and clearing away layers of dark clouds, they let down their guard and release their pent-up emotions.

Wei Susu shook her head, tightly gripping Jiang Lingyang's hand, her voice choked with emotion, yet unable to conceal her joy:

"No, Lingyang... It's been almost ten years, and I've never felt so relaxed and so alive as I am now."

She simply couldn't find the words to accurately describe how she felt at that moment.

The constant heartache disappeared, the suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe freely disappeared, and I felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted off my body, and even my soul became lighter!

Qin Jichuan stepped forward, his tone urgent: "May I take Madam Wei's pulse again?"

Jiang Lingyang thought it would be good to have an extra layer of confirmation, so he let go of her hand. Qin Jichuan, with a look of surprise and uncertainty, placed his hand on Wei Susu's wrist.

Thump, thump, thump—

The pulse, which was almost stagnant and extremely weak, has now become steady and powerful, with each beat carrying vigorous vitality. The pulse that was on the verge of death has now miraculously come back to life!

Qin Jichuan's hand trembled violently, his eyes filled with disbelief!

Ignoring the presence of others, he quickly took out his homemade stethoscope and listened carefully to Wei Susu's chest again. What he heard was a clear, strong, and regular heartbeat, not much different from that of a normal person.

Qin Jichuan stood up abruptly, his face full of shock, and even unconsciously took two steps back before collapsing onto a nearby stool.

He murmured, "There really is a way to cure such a serious heart condition... It's a miracle!"

He suddenly looked up at Nie Qianqian, his previous arrogance and disdain completely gone, his tone full of heartfelt submission, and even his form of address changed: "Doctor Qian, how... how did you do that?"

Nie Qianqian knew that for a doctor, such a groundbreaking medical principle was enough to excite him and make him eager to explore it.

She didn't hold back, explaining, "Her problem was that the meridian connecting to her heart was severely blocked, beyond any possibility of unblocking or saving it. Since this meridian was useless, the only option was to build a new one to supply blood to the heart and restore its function. This surgery is called 'bypass,' and that's the principle behind it."

Qin Jichuan was greatly shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief: "A blocked meridian can actually be replaced by a new one to supply blood? This is simply unheard of!"

He suddenly remembered the bet he had made with Nie Qianqian: if Doctor Qian could successfully save Wei Susu, he would become Doctor Qian's apprentice.

Now that Doctor Qian has truly done it, Qin Jichuan's word is his bond, and moreover, he is now genuinely impressed by Nie Qianqian's medical skills!

He used to think highly of himself and believed his medical skills were superb, so he looked down on Nie Qianqian. Now that he has witnessed her amazing skills firsthand, he realizes that there are always people more skilled than you.

It's not shameful to be able to study under such a highly skilled doctor; on the contrary, it's something to be proud of.

Having understood this, Qin Jichuan no longer hesitated, bowed deeply to Nie Qianqian, and spoke with a respectful and earnest tone:

"Dr. Qian, I was arrogant and ignorant in the past and offended you in many ways. Your medical skills are superb and truly amazing. I am sincerely convinced and willing to become your apprentice. I hope you will accept me!"

These words shocked everyone in the room!

Is the person in front of me really Qin Jichuan, the "medical genius" and the prized student of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy?

His humility in willingly bowing to a high-ranking official was truly astonishing.

Although the people present were laymen who did not understand the difficulty of treating heart disease, they could still glean some insights from Qin Jichuan's reaction.

This surgery must have been incredibly difficult; apart from Dr. Qian, no one else could have successfully performed it. Otherwise, given Qin Jichuan's arrogance, he would never have humbled himself to such an extent.

"Dr. Qian is truly a divine being!" Jiang Zheng'an couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

At this moment, Jiang Lingyang was filled with boundless gratitude for Doctor Qian. In addition, he looked at Jiang Zheng'an and Jiang Muxin with great excitement. If it weren't for them finding Doctor Qian, Wei Susu would probably have already died a miserable life after being diagnosed as "incurable".

Feeling his father's approving gaze, Jiang Zheng'an puffed out his chest, his face full of pride.

Jiang Muxin felt somewhat uncomfortable under that gaze, and thought to herself:

No wonder Chu Shaoyang values ​​Doctor Qian so much. I never expected her to have such extraordinary abilities that Qin Jichuan was willing to become her disciple. Such abilities are far beyond what can be described as a "three-star doctor".

Nie Qianqian reached out and helped Qin Jichuan up from his bent-over position.

Madam Jiang's illness is indeed incurable with current medical technology. Qin Jichuan was a disciple of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy and traveled around practicing medicine, so he was very knowledgeable and experienced. This gave him the confidence to make this judgment, which is not arrogant at all.

Besides, she didn't dislike Qin Jichuan. His sharp tongue, directness, and inability to keep secrets made him much more lovable than those two-faced "smiling tigers."

She looked at Qin Jichuan and said slowly, "There is no end to medicine. You and I are both on the road to saving lives. Since we share the same initial aspiration, we are fellow travelers. There is no need to mention the previous bet. Even if we are not master and disciple, we can still be companions on the same path. If we encounter difficult and complicated diseases in the future, we can discuss and develop solutions together, just to save more patients."

Qin Jichuan was startled upon hearing this. He remained silent for a long while before saying, "Thank you, Dr. Qian! It is my honor to travel with you!"

Nie Qianqian patted his shoulder, and with those few pats, the little misunderstanding between the two of them was completely over.

That evening, Wei Susu went to bed early.

This was the first time in ten years that she hadn't been woken from her dream by shortness of breath or angina.

The moonlight shone brightly outside the window, and the room was quiet and peaceful, so she slept very soundly.

In her dream, she saw her daughter who had been lost for many years.

In her dream, her daughter was found by a kind-hearted villager family. Although the family was poor, she was carefully cared for and raised.

Her daughter grew into a beautiful and cheerful young woman. Later, she met a loving husband who truly cared for her, and they had a lovely child. She lived a peaceful, smooth, and happy life.

As she slept soundly, a single tear quietly slid down her cheek and landed on the pillow, carrying a sense of relief and comfort.
