After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 150 Seeking Justice

During the treatment of the wounded, Xue Ruanruan met a young general. He was brave and skilled in battle, and exceptionally intelligent. He fought alongside Xue Ruanruan to protect the border. As they spent time together, they developed feelings for each other and became each other's support and motivation.

Thanks to Xue Ruanruan's efforts, the border conflict gradually improved, and people's lives returned to peace. Her medical skills and kindness won everyone's praise, making her a legendary figure on the frontier. And her love with that general, like a star on the border, shines with eternal brilliance.

She was fortunate enough to receive the true teachings of her master physician, a very lucky and rare opportunity. Her master's teachings meant that she was able to learn the true essence of medicine and unique skills, which would have a profound impact on her medical career.

Having received the true teachings of her master, she gained access to deeper and more advanced medical knowledge and skills. These teachings might include unique diagnostic methods, treatment techniques, and experience in the use of herbal medicine. Through close communication and guidance from her master, she could better understand and master these teachings and gradually integrate them into her own medical practice.

Furthermore, receiving the true teachings of a renowned physician also meant gaining access to a valuable network of connections. Mentors typically have extensive networks within the medical community, and their exchanges and collaborations are crucial for improving medical skills. Through her mentor's introductions and recommendations, she could potentially meet more medical masters and experts, thereby broadening her horizons and continuously enhancing her medical abilities.

Most importantly, having received the true teachings of her master physician, she bears the responsibility of inheriting and carrying forward his medical skills. She needs to pass on her knowledge to future generations, cultivating a new generation of healers to ensure the continuation of her master's medical expertise. At the same time, she should actively participate in medical research and innovation, contributing to the advancement of the medical field.

In short, receiving the true teachings of the legendary physician is an enviable thing. It not only endowed her with superb medical skills but also made her a successor and promoter of these skills. In this process, she will continue to strive for excellence and provide better medical services to patients.

Regent Murong Xun was infamous, feared by all. Legend had it that he was ruthless and decisive, inspiring terror in all who heard his name. But in reality, he also had a hidden side. On the battlefield, he was brave and fearless, possessing extraordinary wisdom; in the court, he was far-sighted and concerned for the well-being of the people. He protected his country and its people in his own way, unconcerned about the infamy he bore. For he knew that only strength could protect everything he cherished.

Seeing that her master had finally woken up, Yan Xiao quickly went to the bedside, her eyes full of worry.

"Master, you're finally awake!" A worried and concerned voice rang in my ears.

I slowly opened my eyes, and a familiar face came into view. It was my personal maid, Xiao Tao, whose eyes were full of joy and relief.

I tried to sit up, but my body felt weak and sore. Xiao Tao quickly came forward to help me and let me lean against the bed.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked softly.

"Master, you've been unconscious for three days and three nights. We've been so worried about you these past few days," Xiao Tao replied, handing me a bowl of water.

I took the water and slowly drank a few sips, feeling my throat was no longer so dry. But the memories in my mind were still somewhat blurry.

"How could I have been unconscious for so long? What happened?" I frowned, trying to recall what had happened.

Xiao Tao sighed softly: "Master, do you remember? That night, you suddenly fainted, and we quickly called a doctor. The doctor said you were overworked and needed to rest for a while to recover."

I remember now, I've been incredibly busy lately with some things, and I'm completely exhausted, both physically and mentally. I never imagined I'd collapse from exhaustion.

“I feel much better now. Thank you, Xiaotao,” I said gratefully, looking at her.

Xiao Tao smiled and shook her head: "Master, you don't need to thank me. As long as you get better soon, that's the greatest thanks you can give me."

I nodded, my heart filled with warmth. It was truly a blessing to have such a thoughtful maid taking care of me.

In the days that followed, I focused on recuperating as instructed by the doctor. Xiao Tao stayed by my side, taking meticulous care of me. After a period of rest, my health gradually returned.

The moment I stood up again, I deeply felt the preciousness of life. At the same time, I realized that I could no longer overwork myself, and I needed to learn to balance work and rest and take good care of my body! Yan Xiao's voice carried a hint of joy.

The master slightly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot and his lips were purple—symptoms of poisoning.

"What...what's wrong with me?" The master's voice was weak and feeble.

"Master, what's wrong? You look so pale!" a maid exclaimed in a panic.

"Quickly, fetch a doctor! Hurry! Her face is pale, her breathing is rapid, as if life is slipping away from her. Her eyes are tightly closed, her lips are trembling slightly, as if she is struggling against the disease. Her body is curled up in the corner of the bed, her hands gripping the sheets tightly, as if grasping at the last glimmer of hope. Quickly, fetch a doctor! Hurry! Time is of the essence; every second could be a battle between life and death." Another maid urged anxiously.

A moment later, the doctor rushed over. After examining the patient, he said with a grave expression, "This is bad. The master has been poisoned and has been unconscious for two days and two nights. His condition is extremely critical."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and their faces showed worry.

"What can we do? Doctor, please, you must save our mistress!" The maids knelt down and begged.

The doctor sighed and said, "I will do my best, but this poison is very rare and it will take time to find an antidote. You must keep a close eye on the master's condition and notify me immediately if there are any changes."

After speaking, the doctor began preparing herbal medicine, attempting to alleviate his master's symptoms. The maids stayed by the bedside day and night, hoping for a miracle. Yan Xiao's voice was filled with anxiety.

"What? Poisoned?" A look of shock flashed in the master's eyes.

Yan Xiao quickly explained, "Master, you were poisoned at the banquet. This poison is extremely difficult to cure. We have consulted many doctors, but none of them have a solution." The master frowned, pondering a method to detoxify. Suddenly, she remembered Xue Ruanruan. "Perhaps Physician Xue has a way to cure this poison," she said with difficulty.

Yan Xiao looked troubled. "But Doctor Xue travels all over the world. Where are we supposed to find her?"

The master took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Yan Xiao, saying, "Take this jade pendant and go find Xue Ruanruan. She will come when she sees the pendant."

Yan Xiao took the jade pendant and immediately set off to find Xue Ruanruan. Several days later, Yan Xiao brought Xue Ruanruan back. After examining her master's condition, Xue Ruanruan confidently said, "This poison can be cured, but some special medicinal materials are needed."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Then, Xue Ruanruan drew up a list and asked Yan Xiao to collect the medicinal herbs.

Yan Xiao searched tirelessly and finally gathered all the medicinal herbs. Xue Ruanruan began carefully brewing the antidote, and everyone held their breath, hoping for a miracle.

After the antidote was poured into his master's mouth, his complexion gradually regained its color, and his breathing became steady.

"Great! Master is saved!" Yan Xiao cheered excitedly.

The master slightly opened his eyes, looked at the people in front of him, and showed a grateful smile.

The master's face turned very pale. He knew that once the poison took effect, it would be difficult to control.

"Whether or not an antidote has been found is the only thing I'm concerned about right now," I thought to myself, clutching the bottle of antidote tightly in my hand.

In this dangerous and unknown world, poisoning is a common threat. And I, unfortunately, became a victim. The physical discomfort and pain made me feel helpless and terrified.

I tried to recall the moment I was poisoned, trying to find clues, but the memory in my mind was blurry. The symptoms of poisoning gradually worsened; I felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing.

I started to worry about my life. If I couldn't find an antidote, I might lose my life.

I searched everywhere for clues, asking people around me if they knew any antidote. Each inquiry only increased my anxiety, as time ticked away and I found no answer.

In my despair, I remembered a possible clue. I had once read about an antidote in an old book, but that book had been lost.

I began searching everywhere for that book, hoping to find a way to cure the poison. In the process, I encountered many difficulties and challenges, but I never gave up.

Finally, I found the book. I eagerly flipped through it, hoping to find a way to detoxify. In the book, I found an ancient antidote, but it required some special herbs and rituals.

I began preparing the necessary herbs and rituals, hoping to successfully detoxify myself. During this process, I felt a glimmer of hope, but also knew it was an adventure.

Finally, I successfully completed the ritual, and the antidote herbs worked. I felt my discomfort gradually disappear, and my breathing became smooth. I knew I had successfully detoxified. But what about the antidote? Or, has a method or medicine been found to cure the symptoms of poisoning? This might involve efforts such as analyzing the components of the poison, searching for specific herbs or chemicals, etc. Perhaps it also requires exploring ancient medical knowledge, seeking expert help, or conducting experimental research to find clues to the problem. This process is full of challenges and uncertainties, but every attempt has the potential to bring hope and the emergence of an antidote. So, has an antidote been found? The answer may lie in continuous exploration and effort,” the master asked.

Yan Xiao shook his head: "No, we have searched the entire martial arts world, but we have not found the antidote."

A flicker of despair flashed in his master's eyes, a despair like a sharp sword, mercilessly piercing his heart. He knew clearly that his life had come to an end, beyond repair. Everything he had ever possessed—power, status, and wealth—would vanish. His dreams and ambitions would also dissipate with his departure. In that moment, he felt utterly alone and helpless, as if the entire world had abandoned him.

"Yan Xiao, I...I don't want to die..." The master's voice was filled with resentment.

His eyes widened, and his fists clenched tightly, as if trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.

"I still have many things left undone, and many dreams left unfulfilled." His voice was filled with regret and remorse.

He thought of his family, his friends, and his lover. He remembered his promises and his dreams.

He was unwilling to die like this, unwilling to give up. He wanted to live, he wanted to continue pursuing his dreams.

His eyes were filled with determination and resolve; he was determined to use his last ounce of strength to fight for a chance to survive.

Yan Xiao quickly comforted him, "Master, you won't die. We will definitely find the antidote."

However, the master knew that this was just Yan Xiao's words of comfort; his life was beyond saving.

"Yan Xiao, after I die, you must take good care of yourself..." The master's voice grew weaker and weaker.

Yan Xiao's tears rolled down his cheeks like beads from a broken string. He held his master's hand tightly, "Master, you won't die. I won't let you die."

Remembering his identity as a divine physician, Yan Xiao decided to use his medical skills to save his master. He quickly prepared herbs and acupuncture tools and began treating his master.

He first applied herbal medicine to his master's wound, then used acupuncture to stimulate his master's acupoints to promote blood circulation and recovery. Yan Xiao's technique was skillful and precise, and his eyes were full of determination and resolve.

After a period of treatment, his master's breathing gradually stabilized, and his complexion slowly regained its color. Yan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his master's life had been temporarily saved.

However, he knew that his master's injuries were still very serious and that he would need more time and treatment to fully recover. Yan Xiao decided to continue treating his master, changing his dressings and performing acupuncture every day to help him recover.

Under Yan Xiao's meticulous care, his master gradually recovered his health. He looked at Yan Xiao with gratitude, his eyes filled with trust and appreciation.

"Yan Xiao, thank you for saving my life. I don't know if I would still be alive without you," the master said.

Yan Xiao smiled and said, "Master, this is what I should do. I am your divine physician, and I will always protect your health."

From then on, Yan Xiao and his master became even closer, and they went through many difficult times together. Yan Xiao's medical skills also gained wider recognition, and he became a highly respected physician in the martial arts world.

Yan Xiao's eyes were filled with tears as he tightly grasped his master's hand: "Master, you won't die, you will definitely get better."

However, the master's eyes slowly closed and never opened again.

Yan Xiao was devastated. He knew that he had lost the most important person in his life.
