Half an hour later.
All the dicinal herbs were ready, and Li Chongbai followed the proportions prepared by Nan Yu to concoct the dicinal bath.
anwhile, the ginseng soup was also ready.
Nan Yu instructed the butler to feed Li Qingjia, "Now give her half a bowl, and if she shows any signs of fainting during the bath, imdiately feed her another mouthful. Then, cook a few more bowls of ginseng soup, we’ll need it later."
The butler acknowledged each instruction.
Nan Yu then directed the previously ntioned security guard, "Carry the old lady into the tub."
The security guard glanced at Yu Lan, saw her nod, and he imdiately stepped forward. With the utmost care as instructed by Nan Yu, he gently placed Li Qingjia into the tub, seating her inside.
Nan Yu commanded, "Pour the dicine."
The servants then slowly poured the prepared dicine into it.
The warm dicinal fluid slowly subrged Li Qingjia’s body up to her neck.
"Good, that’s enough."
Nan Yu then administered several more acupuncture needles to several points on top of Li Qingjia’s head.
"From now on, soak for three hours, changing the dicine every hour and giving her half a bowl of ginseng soup. During these three hours, she must be kept awake at all tis."
Yu Lan, standing by, watched all this with a look of confusion and whispered to Li Chongbai beside her.
"Dean Li, can her thod truly save my mother?"
Li Chongbai replied with solemnity, "Yes! As long as we follow her directions and do as she says, we can definitely save Qingjia."
Yu Lan frowned with a mix of belief and skepticism, "Is it really that powerful?"
Li Chongbai looked deeply into her eyes and said, "Of course, it’s powerful. This thod was once recorded in an Ancient dical Book. It’s said that even those who have reached Yama Hall can be brought back."
"Unfortunately, the dical book I saw was partially damaged, and I thought the thod had been lost. I never expected to witness here today, Xiao Yu fully employing this technique."
"Qingjia is saved this ti!"
By the end of his words, his eyes were filled with hope and admiration for Nan Yu.
Seeing Li Chongbai speak like this, Yu Lan silently closed her mouth and quietly waited for the result.
After the long three hours had passed, the room was perated with the intense sll of the dicinal concoction that couldn’t be waved away.
Li Qingjia, having finished the dicinal bath, was carefully lifted out and placed on the bed.
Upon closer examination, one could clearly notice that the deathly pallor between her eyebrows had dissipated, her complexion showing a hint of rosiness, no longer looking as if she was on the brink of death.
Li Chongbai imdiately checked her pulse.
The next second, he exclaid joyfully, "Qingjia, your pulse isn’t as weak and feeble anymore, and your heartbeat is normal. You’ve made it through this ordeal."
By the end, he was so overjoyed that he cried, wiping away his tears in secret.
Li Qingjia, exhausted beyond asure, managed a feeble smile for him.
Nan Yu, who erged from behind, propped herself up against the wall with her body swaying weakly, biting her lips devoid of any color.
"Old lady, you can rest easy now, have a good sleep," she said.
Then to the others, "Let the old lady rest well."
Li Qingjia closed her eyes and fell asleep in seconds.
Li Chongbai turned around to Yu Lan who was about to speak and gestured for silence.
He mouthed silently, "Let’s go, we’ll talk outside."
Soon, everyone had left the room.
Nan Yu leaned against the wall, her entire body lacking the strength to stand, she looked at Li Chongbai and tried to smile, "Uncle Li, I’m a bit tired, I’ll head back first. I’ll leave the rest to you."
Seeing her condition, Li Chongbai was moved to tears, "Xiao Yu, I can’t thank you enough for today. If it weren’t for you, Qingjia would have..."
Nan Yu maintained a shallow smile, "I am a doctor. Healing the sick and saving lives is what I should do."
Yu Lan, observing her deanor, no longer opposed her as before.
"Miss Nan, thank you for saving my mother’s life today. The Song Family owes you a favor," she said.
"From now on, at any ti or place, you can make any request to the Song Family. No matter how difficult it is, we will fulfill it."
