The patient's condition is not good. I suggest transferring her to the hospital for treatment, otherwise, if this continues, I'm afraid..." The private doctor looked at Gao Yaqin, who had already woken up on the hospital bed, and said with a grim expression.
Facing the doctor's words, Gao Yaqin seemed to take it calmly. She coughed twice, and a faint smile appeared on her pale and weak pretty face. "Dr. Chen, I, I can't stand the smell of the hospital. Please let me be treated at home..."
"Ya Qin, don't be afraid. Big Brother has invited the best doctors from the capital for you. They will definitely cure you." Gao Zhixiong immediately stepped forward, pointing to Sima Bo Chao next to him, and said to Gao Yaqin, who was lying in bed.
Gao Yaqin's smile vanished. She glanced at Gao Zhixiong and Sima Bo Chao with her phoenix eyes, but did not speak.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm here."
Gao Jiaming brought Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang to the left side of the large bed. Gao Yaqin turned her head and looked at Gu Luotang, who was dressed in Hanfu with an elegant and serene demeanor. She smiled faintly, "What a beautiful girl..."
Gu Luotang paused, then smiled and replied, "Thank you."
"Let me feel your pulse first and see what illness it is."
Sima Bo Chao, standing on the right side of the bed, saw how beautiful Gao Yaqin was, a typical mature and graceful beauty. So he eagerly lifted the quilt, wanting to hold Gao Yaqin's small hand...
"Holy cow, what is this..."
As soon as he pulled Gao Yaqin's small hand out, Sima Bo Chao was so frightened that he jumped up, looking in disbelief at her fair and jade-like hand covered with purple veins, which looked terrifying.
Even Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao were startled. They couldn't figure out what kind of illness Gao Yaqin had!
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but lift the quilt, looking at Gao Yaqin's left hand. Like her right hand, it was covered with purple-black veins, resembling a terrifying spiderweb.
"Poisoned!"
Wan Yunting's first thought was that she was poisoned.
"Ah, it really is poisoning."
Let alone Wan Yunting, even Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao believed that Gao Yaqin was poisoned, otherwise, her blood vessels wouldn't look like this.
Sima Bo Chao, having regained his composure, also widened his eyes. He had wanted to take advantage of the situation, but with Gao Yaqin's hands looking so terrifying, he had no intention of thinking anything inappropriate.
Upon hearing Gu Luotang and the others say she was poisoned, Sima Bo Chao turned to Gao Yaqin's private doctor and asked, "Didn't you take her to the hospital for treatment before? Is she poisoned?"
Dr. Chen shook his head, "It's not poisoning. This phenomenon has only appeared gradually over this period. I've also drawn blood and sent it for testing at the hospital, but the hospital couldn't get any results. They believe it's a symptom of blood mutation!"
"After all, this kind of illness is truly rare!"
"Blood mutation?"
Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang exchanged glances, finding the statement quite laughable.
"I don't think I can cure this illness," Sima Bo Chao immediately said, shaking his head.
Gao Zhixiong was taken aback and said anxiously, "Doctor Sima, you are from a prestigious family of the capital's medical school. Can't you even tell what illness my sister has?"
Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao, standing opposite, looked at Sima Bo Chao. This guy, without even taking her pulse, directly declared that he couldn't cure the illness. Was he kidding them?
"Alas, from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, your sister must be poisoned, otherwise, it wouldn't look like this."
Sima Bo Chao pointed at Gao Yaqin's terrifying hands and then looked at her extremely beautiful, albeit sickly, appearance, but it didn't pique his interest at all.
After all, Sima Bo Chao's medical skills were only half-baked. He was the worst talent in their Sima family's medical lineage, so his father, Sima Wentang, had strictly forbidden him from treating patients privately to avoid damaging the Sima family's reputation with his insufficient skills.
Therefore, Sima Bo Chao was mainly responsible for their Sima family's pharmaceutical group business and was the vice president of the Shenzhen branch.
However, this kid was a typical prodigal son and didn't understand business. He only knew how to eat, drink, and play with women...
"Alas, is there really no way?"
Gao Zhixiong looked at Gao Yaqin on the bed with a look of grief and disappointment.
"Big Brother, it's a real shame you're not an actor. You're so good at acting."
Gao Jiaming, standing opposite, sneered at Gao Zhixiong's hypocritical demeanor.
"Jiaming, what do you mean?"
Gao Zhixiong's expression stiffened. He glared at him sideways and snorted, "I'm just worried about Ya Qin's illness. Besides, Doctor Sima comes from a famous TCM family in the capital. If even he can't do anything, do you think the people you brought can cure Ya Qin's illness!"
"What if Doctor Luotang and the others can?"
Gao Jiaming said mockingly, chuckling at Gao Zhixiong and Sima Bo Chao.
This made Gao Zhixiong's eyes narrow. He looked at the gentle and graceful Gu Luotang, feeling a hint of unease!
However, thinking of her age, she was only in her early twenties. Perhaps, like Sima Bo Chao, she was all show and no substance.
"I hope so."
Gao Zhixiong smiled dismissively. He and Sima Bo Chao had no intention of leaving, wanting to see how the people Gao Jiaming had invited would examine Gao Yaqin.
"Doctor Wan, please go ahead."
Gu Luotang turned and said softly to Wan Yunting, but he smiled and shook his head, "Doctor Luotang, you go first."
"Alright."
Gu Luotang did not decline. She lifted the hem of her skirt and elegantly sat on the chair by the bed. Wan Yunting handed the medicine box to Qi Miaomiao, who opened it and took out a pulse pillow, placing it by the bed. Gu Luotang looked at Gao Yaqin's hand, covered with purple veins, without showing any disgust or fear. She smiled and said, "Let me take your pulse first."
Facing the soft-spoken and gentle Gu Luotang, Gao Yaqin smiled faintly and nodded.
Gu Luotang's pretty face tensed. Her three slender white jade fingers rested on Gao Yaqin's left wrist, concentrating as she took her pulse... Wan Yunting and Qi Miaomiao stood on either side, watching.
After a moment, Gu Luotang stood up and moved to Gao Yaqin's right side. Gradually, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
"How is it, Sister Luotang? Did you find anything?"
Sima Bo Chao, standing nearby, although not skilled in medicine himself, also believed that Gu Luotang wouldn't be able to diagnose Gao Yaqin's illness.
Releasing Gao Yaqin's pulse, Gu Luotang nodded slightly at her. Then she stood up and returned to Wan Yunting's side. Her expression was solemn, and she shook her head slightly, saying, "Her five organs and six viscera are chaotic, her vital energy and blood are depleted, and her yin and yang are imbalanced. Her pulse is fluctuating erratically and is extremely unstable. This is a pulse I've never seen before!"
Wan Yunting listened and nodded. It wasn't surprising that Gu Luotang couldn't diagnose Gao Yaqin's symptoms.
After all, Gao Yaqin's symptoms looked very frightening from the outside. So Wan Yunting initially suspected she might have a severe and rare difficult illness!
Hmm! Why is this peculiar floral fragrance getting stronger and stronger?
Wan Yunting sniffed. The fragrance hadn't been so obvious when they were in the courtyard, but in Gao Yaqin's room, the peculiar scent was becoming increasingly potent...
This puzzled Wan Yunting. He didn't know what kind of flower was emitting this peculiar fragrance, which had a way of disturbing people's nerves. He found it very unsettling!
