Since the Imperial Physician Situ had come, Jin Lan naturally got up. The Mama Tang hurriedly helped her clean her face, but luckily, her hair had not been messed up after just lying down. It was just that the tasseled hairpin made with golden water chestnuts and red jadeite grains was a little crooked, so it could be adjusted a little.

Just as he was packing up, Bi He's clear voice came from outside the door, ”Miss, Imperial Physician Situ is here.”

The Mama Tang was bustling with activity as she laid back on her pillow. She raised her voice and said, ”Quickly, ask Imperial Physician Situ to come in.” Then he tuck the quilt in his hand and covered Jin Lan's body.

Bi He pulled up the curtain and led the Imperial Physician Situ into the house, behind him followed Mama Shang and Yan Rong.

Jin Lan looked at Yan Rong in surprise, then said with a light smile. ”Why is Big Sister Yan Rong here?” She swept a glance behind Yan Rong. Other than Bi He, there was no one else.

In the past when the Imperial Physician Situ entered the manor, it was always his mother who accompanied his here. Why did he...

Yan Rong went forward to pay her respects to Jin Lan, and smiled: ”Madam is currently at Jiayu Hall to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival with the old lady, and cannot leave right now, so the old lady asked me to lure the Imperial Physician Situ over.”

This implied that the Old Granny wanted to know the condition of Second Miss's body.

Jin Lan's breath faltered, but a smile appeared in his eyes as he said, ”I still need to trouble you, old lady. It's all my body's fault.”

Yan Rong's eyes flashed, and laughed: ”Miss is the person that the old lady is most anxious about, when has the old lady not been worried about? ”Even in the capital, he would mutter these words everyday.”

Mama Shang saw the impatience on Imperial Physician Situ's face, and pinched Yan Rong's words, she extended her hand out, ”Please help my lady with the pulse first.”

Yan Rong was startled, her face revealed a few expressions, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she wanted to say something but she stopped himself.

Imperial Physician Situ glanced at the few of them before putting down the medicine box and walking over to the bed.

Jin Lan raised his eyes to look at him and said weakly, ”Thank you, Grandpa Situ.”

Seeing Jin Lan's gloomy expression, Imperial Physician Situ frowned and did not say anything. He waited for Mama Tang to place the silk handkerchief on her white wrist and then placed her hand on it.

Mama Tang and Bi He, as well as Yan Rong, were all nervously staring at Imperial Physician Situ. Even the Mama Shang couldn't help but wring her handkerchief.

Imperial Physician Situ stroked the few strands of white beard on his chin, his hand paused for a moment, his eyebrows knitted together, he inadvertently looked at Jin Lan's little face, saw his clear eyes revealing hints of pleading, and recalled the few words he spoke when he entered the room, his heart couldn't help but sink.

Jin Lan held his breath, carefully observing Imperial Physician Situ's expression. Seeing his eyes that were as heavy as water, his heart gradually turned cold.

Imperial Physician Situ's prescription was indeed effective, after eating it for so many days, his body was getting more and more powerful, but now that his path was unknown, being sick was actually a good thing that he could only wish for.

She had calculated the days when Imperial Physician Situ would come to help her pulse. Last night, she had borrowed the power of the bath to think of some tricks, but since Mama Shang was outside, it was not easy to make things too obvious. Although the autumn wind was not as sharp as the winter wind, it was still as cold as the night water. Her four limbs were cold as she woke up early in the morning, and her forehead throbbed with pain.

From the looks of it, her little tricks might not be able to hide from this highly skilled physician. He only hoped that since he had treated him with respect every time they met in the past, he wouldn't say too much.

Imperial Physician Situ retracted his hand, and spoke slowly: ”My cold is much better than before, I am sure.”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, everyone's faces lit up, but Jin Lan's heart sank to the bottom.

She secretly sucked in a deep breath and clenched her hands into fists. A hint of gratitude appeared on her face as she softly said, ”It's all thanks to grandpa Situ's wonderful return to life that Lan`er's body can live to this day.” Then he sighed, ”It's just that I've been drinking the medicinal juice that's as bitter as a yellow lotus all day, I don't know when it'll be the end.” ”It sounded like a sigh, but it carried meaning.

After all, the body was still his. If he wanted to recover, he would naturally be able to recover. If he didn't want to recover, there were plenty of ways to stay sick for a long time. As an imperial physician, if he couldn't even treat a minor illness, wouldn't that be detrimental to his illustrious reputation as an expert returning to spring?

Imperial Physician Situ's eyes narrowed as he looked pensively at Jin Lan. He saw that she had an unperturbed expression and a slight smile at the corners of her lips, as if what she had said just now was just a response. He thought for a while and said slowly, ”Although she has improved a bit, the chills on her body are not the result of just one or two days of rest. She still needs to meditate and recuperate. This medicine may be bitter, but it's a good medicine. As long as the girl takes it according to the time, there will be a day when she will recover completely.
