Divine Physician Xie only said, “Ordinary medicinal pills can’t treat Third Miss’s illness. However, among the witchcraft medicine inherited by the King of Medicine Valley, there’s a Blood Medicinal Catalyst. By using the most precious herbs and extreme yin and poison on the Medicinal Catalyst, we can take its blood and use it as medicine. It can cure your congenital deficiency and extend your life.”
When he said the last three words, there was a strange excitement in his tone.
However, he quickly restrained himself and sighed slightly!
“It’s just that this prescription is harmful to the heavens and is a prohibited law of the King of Medicine Valley, so it’s not appropriate to mention it to Third Miss. It’s also my fault for letting you down. Seeing that you are still young and have a good life in the future, I couldn’t bear to see you tortured by health illness, so I accidentally misspoken. If there’s anything wrong, please pretend you didn’t hear this…”
Yu Jianjia was not a fool. Divine Physician Xie vaguely mentioned the Blood Medicinal Catalyst but it was obvious without even thinking that he meant nurturing a person into a medicinal catalyst before taking their blood and using it as medicine.
There was actually such a disgusting treatment method.
No wonder it had become a forbidden technique!
Yu Jianjia felt uncomfortable, and even her face turned pale. She quickly said, “I-I’m not feeling well, so I’ll go back first. Eldest Sister is in charge at home. Since she’s sick, there’s no one to make decisions in the residence. If there’s anything wrong, I seek your understanding, Divine Physician Xie. If you need anything, feel free to instruct the servants to do it.”
When she returned to the courtyard, Ai Ye saw that Young Miss did not look too good and was very worried. She quickly instructed the small kitchen to brew medicine and bring it to her.
Yu Jianjia looked at the black medicinal soup in the bowl in a daze. The bitter medicinal smell immediately rushed into her nose, making her feel nauseous.
Only she knew how bitter the medicine was, but for as long as she could remember, she had never stopped taking it.
If only she was also like Yu Youyao and had a good body. Who would want to be like a medicine bottle, taking in medicine non stop every day?
Yu Youyao was a bereaved eldest daughter. After she turned 11, many people came to her.
The talented Song Mingzhao would give her some medicinal herbs and spices every time he came to visit. His thoughts were obvious. The incomparably n.o.ble Third Prince also wanted to scheme against Yu Youyao’s marriage…
As for herself, she was a sickly young miss. She was already twelve years old, but still, no one asked for her hand.
If her illness could not be cured completely, there was no need to think about the n.o.ble families in the capital. It was even very likely that she would be married off to a lower status because of her health.
They were both the legitimate daughters of the first wife. Why should she be inferior to Yu Youyao in every way?
Seeing that Young Miss’s expression was changing as she held the medicine bowl, Ai Ye quickly said, “Young Miss, you have to drink this medicine while it’s hot.”
Yu Jianjia was already used to drinking medicine. After hearing Ai Ye’s words, she picked up the bowl and poured the medicine into her mouth, planning to drink it in one go.
However, for some reason, the bitter medicine that she was used to drinking in the past had now entered her heart. It was actually difficult to swallow. As soon as it reached her throat, it rushed back to her mouth.
Her face turned pale and she spat out all the medicine in her mouth.
“Young Miss…” Ai Ye was shocked and at a loss.
After vomiting the medicine, Yu Jianjia vomited non- stop, almost spitting out yellow bile.
After an unknown period of time, Yu Jianjia finally stopped vomiting.
Ai Ye quickly helped Young Miss rinse her mouth, clean up, and change her clothes…
After all this, Yu Jianjia’s essence, energy, and spirit seemed to have been sucked dry. She was like a small flower that had lost its color. She leaned against the bed with a pale face and cried silently.
Ai Ye quickly said, “Young Miss, are you feeling better? Why don’t 1 invite
Divine Physician Xie over to take a look?”
At the mention of “Divine Physician Xie”, Yu Jianjia couldn’t help but think of the “Blood Medicinal Catalyst.” She couldn’t help but panic and open her mouth to say, “No need.”
However, for some reason, just as the words were about to come out of her mouth, she said, “Alright, go and invite Divine Physician Xie over. Divine Physician Xie’s medical skills are brilliant. You have to be polite. Don’t be negligent. Also, call Hui Xiang over.”
Ai Ye was not surprised. Although Hui Xiang had been reduced to a maidservant, she had served Young Miss since she was young. Occasionally, Young Miss would also call Hui Xiang over to serve her.
Since Bai Ye was not around, Young Miss had to have someone to take care of her.
Ai Ye received her orders and left.
Only then did Yu Jianjia realize what she had said. She opened her mouth, wanting to call Ai Ye back, but her throat seemed to be choked by something, and she couldn’t even make a sound.
She watched helplessly as Ai Ye left the house.
Yu Jianjia’s tears welled up again. She subconsciously convinced herself that her body was weak and she had vomited just now so she should indeed invite Divine Physician Xie over to take a look.
Yes, that was right.
She was only looking for Divine Physician Xie to check on her and had no other motives.
It was just a consultation!
Moreover, her health wasn’t good, so it was only right for her to ask Divine Physician Xie to take a look.
It was nothing.
Yu Jianjia’s heart was in a mess. After an unknown period of time, Ai Ye brought Divine Physician Xie over.
The bed curtain was lowered, and Ai Ye left the room. Only Hui Xiang was left in the room to serve her. Yu Jianjia reached out a hand from the bed curtain, and Divine Physician Xie took her pulse carefully.
It was the same as before.
Yu Jianjia wanted to thank Divine Physician Xie, but just as the words were about to come out of her mouth, she subconsciously asked about the “Blood Medicinal Catalyst”.
Divine Physician Xie was not surprised.
He had traveled extensively and had seen all kinds of patients. There was no one in this world who didn’t want their bodies to be healthy. Very few people could resist the temptation of a “cure”.
As soon as he entered the Yu Residence, he asked around!
Third Miss Yu had a weak illness from the moment she was born. All these years, she had taken a lot of medicine and even coughed up blood two years ago. She had no choice but to go to the manor to recuperate. However, the illness from birth was not something that could heal easily. As long as there was a trace of hope of recovery, Third Miss Yu would definitely not give up.
Divine Physician Xie explained some things about the catalyst. “It’s not easy to be a catalyst, and it’s even more difficult to choose a suitable one. The reason why 1 mentioned this is because there’s a person in your residence who’s very suitable to be one for you. Not only is her physique a match, but she’s also of the same bloodline as you with the same root. She’ll be the most effective in creating a cure for you…”
Yu Jianjia’s heart was about to jump out. Her face turned pale with shock, and she leaned against the pillow dejectedly, asking Hui Xiang to politely send Divine Physician Xie out of the house.
Not long after, Bai Ye returned with the news. Seeing Young Miss’s pale face, she blamed herself. “It’s all my fault. I was talking to Grandmother just now, but I didn’t know that Young Miss was suffering…”
Yu Jianjia panicked and shook her head gently. “I’m fine, It’s just that the medicine is too bitter and I can’t take it for a while. Divine Phvsician Xie has already taken my pulse. I’m fine. Don’t blame yourself.”
Only then did Bai Ye feel a little relieved. She chatted with Young Miss for a while and mentioned that her grandmother wanted to kowtow to First Madam.
Yu Jianjia seemed to be possessed. A terrifying thought gradually formed in her heart. “It’s rare for your grandmother to have such thoughts. I’ll bring her over another day..”
