Peerless Physician: The Path of a Foolish Eldest Daughter's Rise to Power

This is it, the bottom of the cliff is all fog, and she can't see anything. She closed her eyes, feeling the fear of weightlessness and impending death.

"Gu, Xin, Yue." He heard a heart-wrenching cry. Who was calling her name? Nobody here knew who she was.

Immediately afterwards, an arm wrapped around her waist and lifted her into the air. She heard the sound of her feet hitting the cliff face, and in an instant they arrived at a viewing platform about ten feet square.

As soon as she landed on the platform, she heard Chu Yize breathing heavily. Gu Xinyue turned her head and saw that his face was purple. Oh no, the poison had taken effect.

Just as Gu Xinyue was about to complain about Chu Yize not valuing life, images of him risking his life to save her time and time again flashed through her mind.

Taking a deep breath, she took out silver needles from her bundle and began acupuncture, throwing herself into the intense treatment.

Despite being drenched in sweat, Gu Xinyue raced against time to save Chu Yize. After a quarter of an hour of effort, Chu Yize's condition temporarily stabilized.

Gu Xinyue knew he couldn't hold out until tonight, and she felt incredibly distressed, but she would never give up until the very last moment.

This viewing platform is natural, located in a recess in the center of the cliff face, forming a square viewing platform about ten feet in size. It is a hidden corner carved by nature on the cliff.

Standing here, you can look down at the stunning scenery on the cliff, with layers of mountains in the distance, rain and mist swirling below, and the sound of waterfalls.

Someone must have come here to enjoy the view before, but how did they get here?

Gu Xinyue carefully examined the stone wall but found no door. Could it be a mechanism? She tried all the touchable parts of the wall but found no such mechanism.

Desperate, Gu Xinyue could only sit next to Chu Yize, leaning against the stone wall. She pushed her feet forward to relieve her fatigue, but a loud "boom" alerted her.

Just now, her foot was on a stone the size of a palm. She quickly got up, put her hand on the stone and turned it. The three-foot-wide stone gate slowly rose. Gu Xinyue was both surprised and excited.

When Gu Xinyue saw that it was a cave, she struggled to help Chu Yize up and laboriously carried him into the cave.

Before one's eyes was a vast space, four or five zhang high, with an unknown length and width. It was a secluded and unique dwelling, with two egg-sized luminous pearls embedded in the stone walls at the front and back, illuminating the entire space.

There is a stone pavilion directly in front, with a stone table and four stone chairs inside.

To the right is a stone chamber. On the left, in a recessed part of the stone wall, are two large bowls upside down, with dust clearly visible on them. There are also some pottery jars, and below them are some medicine-making tools such as mortars, pestles, and grinders.

"Could someone skilled in medicine have lived here?" Gu Xinyue asked in surprise, looking at the firewood in front of the stone wall. It seemed that someone had indeed lived here.

Wow!

Hearing the sound of water from the left, Gu Xinyue took a few steps and saw a river about seven or eight zhang ahead. Water was splashing everywhere, and it seemed that fish were being raised in the river. The river was covered with grass and a patch of blue flowers.

Gu Xinyue rushed over and saw the blue flowers clearly. Tears instantly blurred her vision. There were not only orchids here, but also some herbs that could be used as medicine.

This is a spring. Water flows continuously down the wall next to the spring, forming a small river with the water in the spring, and the river flows outwards.

Gu Xinyue found a ceramic pot suitable for brewing medicine, washed it, lit a fire with a flint, took out the antidote from her bundle, and began to brew the medicine. When the medicine was almost ready, she picked the stamens of the Youming Orchid and put them in. Fifteen minutes later, the medicine was ready. After it cooled for a while, she poured it into a bowl.

Looking at Chu Yize's dark face and clenched teeth, she felt a surge of indescribable emotions towards this man who had saved her time and time again, even risking his life to do so. All she wanted now was to save him.

So Gu Xinyue pinched her jaw with her left hand to open her jaw, and slowly fed her the medicine with her right hand, half a spoonful at a time. After feeding her the medicine, Gu Xinyue's left hand felt sore and tired.

A moment later, Chu Yize's complexion improved, and the bluish-black color gradually faded. Gu Xinyue breathed a long sigh of relief.

Soon her whole body ached, and her head felt dizzy. She knew that she had been caught in the rain, her wounds hadn't been treated, and her body couldn't take it anymore. She tried to raise her hand to check her injuries, but she didn't have the strength, so she collapsed next to Chu Yize.

He didn't know when, but Chu Yize woke up. He felt the numbness had completely disappeared, his body felt light and his breathing was normal. He circulated his inner energy and felt completely refreshed. He knew that this joy was given to him by Gu Xinyue.

He sat up, searching for Gu Xinyue, and found her lying beside him, her face flushed. Chu Yize reached out and touched her forehead; it was burning hot. Her small, rapid breathing made Chu Yize's heart tighten.

He quickly picked up Gu Xinyue and found that her whole body was burning hot. What should he do? If he didn't bring down her fever quickly, she would either have her brain damaged or die. He didn't want her to become an idiot again.

In the silent cave, he heard the sound of rushing water. Chu Yize carried Gu Xinyue quickly to the riverbank and jumped in. The water was flowing and cool, just right to cool down her fever. Chu Yize patted the water on her forehead until the redness on her face faded.

He noticed that the white clothes on Gu Xinyue's shoulders had turned brown. He gently pulled the clothes aside and cleaned the wound. Fortunately, there were no signs of decay.

After cleaning the wound, Chu Yize carefully rubbed the bloodstains off his clothes. Once clean, he picked up Gu Xinyue and leaped out of the river, spinning perfectly 720 degrees in the air. Water splashed out in all directions, as if a dehydrator was spinning off the water from their wet clothes.

He landed steadily on the riverbank, and then used his inner strength. After a few breaths, his clothes were dry. Chu Yize put Gu Xinyue back in her original place and found a sealed pottery jar. He opened it and a pure fragrance wafted out. He took a small sip.

Then he took a sip of wine and sprayed it on Gu Xinyue's shoulder. Gu Xinyue groaned but did not wake up. When the wine was almost dry, Chu Yize took out a small bottle of high-grade wound medicine from his pocket and sprinkled it on the wound. Then he tore off a piece of his inner garment and carefully bandaged it.

Seeing that Gu Xinyue was breathing steadily, Chu Yize, feeling completely at peace, took out her old clothes from her bundle and covered himself with them.

He restarted the fire to keep Gu Xinyue warm, then went to the river to catch two fish, cleaned them, put them in a ceramic basin, and started cooking fish soup.

As he added firewood, he looked at Gu Xinyue. He could never get enough of her face. He thought about how Gu Xinyue had suffered these past few days, not being able to eat or sleep, and being frightened and injured. This must be the first time the little girl had suffered like this.

He felt sorry for her, but he didn't realize that he, a pampered man, had also suffered. If he hadn't met him, he would have been dead.

He was also grateful that he had met her in this situation, which gave him a new lease on life. Thinking of the girl's strength, he felt sad that he hadn't protected her well, but he was also happy that they had weathered the storm together and stood by each other through life and death in times of crisis.

The aroma of fish soup filled the cave. Gu Xinyue woke up to the smell of fish. When she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Yize looking at her quietly. She quickly asked, "Are you better? Is the poison gone?"

After saying that, she sat up and took his pulse. After a moment, she smiled sweetly and said, "Congratulations, the poison in your body has been cured."

She had a fever, and the first thing she asked him when she woke up was whether his poison had been cured. This was like sweet dew nourishing Chu Yize's wounded heart, and his eyes were filled with happiness.

"Thank you, I was able to detoxify because of you. But you have a fever, are you still feeling unwell?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore," Gu Xinyue said, looking at the wound on her shoulder. It turned out he had bandaged her up, and her injury no longer hurt.

Chu Yize quickly placed the two bowls of soup on the stone table, then came over and carried Gu Xinyue to sit on the stone bench.

Gu Xinyue felt very tired, but she didn't refuse Chu Yize's hug, which made Chu Yize very happy, and they got closer together.

The creamy white fish soup was very tempting to her taste buds. Gu Xinyue picked up a spoon and started eating. She ate in silence. After two bowls of fish soup, Gu Xinyue felt warm all over, her fatigue disappeared, and her mood improved. After the thrilling two days, it was rare to have such a peaceful and relaxing time.

This fish soup has no bones, only fish meat and broth. Gu Xinyue thought that Chu Yize was not only handsome but also a warm man. Any girl who marries him in the future will be very happy.

When Chu Yize returned after washing the dishes, Gu Xinyue asked, "How do you know my name?"
