Summary of the previous chapter: Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly collapsed for unknown reasons...
How could Niu San dare to say no? He quickly knelt down and said: "Sir, the young ones can do it."
"Well, okay, let's go out and wait."
Niu San hesitated again and again, and couldn't help but said: "Sir, I have something to ask of you..."
Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and said: "I know what you are talking about. Go back and inform the leader of Jiang Batian's Fujian faction and tell him the truth about today's situation."
Niu San hummed, nodded respectfully and handed over his hands: "I obey, little one."
...
When Hua Yue saw Chen Xiaoxiao lying motionless on the bed, she frowned slightly and said, "Ma Xiaoquan, what's wrong with sister Xiaoxiao? How can you say that she's uncomfortable when she's not feeling well? Her face was so pale just now, but she seems to be feeling better now.
"It's too late"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "It would be great if I knew."
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan sigh, Hua Yue's jealousy surged up again: "Don't think you just sang a song to me just to make me feel okay. Let me tell you Ma Xiaoquan, you are a scoundrel, a scoundrel."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Okay, let's just call me a rogue. Now, let's wait for the doctor."
Hua Yue nodded: "Do you want me to find someone to supervise you?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, you can tell the tribesmen waiting at the door to separate with the maid. This will be more efficient."
"Okay." Hua Yue turned his head, and then back again, "Ma Xiaoquan, I'm warning you, don't touch girl Xiaoxiao."
Ma Xiaoquan said depressedly: "How long has it been since this happened, and you still don't trust me?"
Hua Yue stuck out her tongue cutely and left the bedroom.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed, walked to the bed, looked at the pale Chen Xiaoxiao, and asked softly: "Miss Chen, Miss Chen?"
Chen Xiaoxiao did not respond, but her eyelids moved, as if she heard Ma Xiaoquan's call.
Seeing that Chen Xiaoxiao didn't answer him, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "It seems we really have to wait for the doctor to come." As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan turned around and stood quietly.
On the bed, Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes. Although her face was still pale, she showed a happy smile.
Yes, it was a happy smile, but unfortunately, Ma Xiaoquan didn't see it.
...
Hua Yue came in, and at the same time, she brought several men with her.
Ma Xiaoquan saw the attire of these people and knew that they were doctors. Without saying much, he directly pointed at Chen Xiaoxiao and asked them to treat him.
Several doctors took turns stepping forward to take Chen Xiaoxiao's pulse. After taking the pulse, they gathered together again and discussed quietly.
Ma Xiaoquan became a little impatient and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Chen?"
One of the older doctors said respectfully: "Sir, Miss Chen's illness is very strange, but the younger ones have also found out some clues... Miss Chen's pulse is weak and her blood is not strong.
..."
"Nonsense, just tell her what disease she has," Ma Xiaoquan said.
"Yes, yes, sir, the disease Miss Chen has is called petrification."
"Petrification? What is this?"
Hua Yue stepped forward in surprise and said, "I have heard of petrification. People with this serious disease usually do not live past the age of twenty-six."
Ma Xiaoquan blinked: "It's so severe, what are the symptoms?"
The old doctor said: "There is currently no cure for this disease. This disease is caused by acquired evil energy seeping into the body. In the early stage, the patient's limbs will have pain in an orderly manner, and in the later stage, it will all be concentrated in the chest.
Sixteen years old, died of medical treatment.”
"Is this... so powerful?" Ma Xiaoquan asked in surprise, "Is there no way to heal in this world?"
The old doctor thought for a while and said: "Yes, there is. I heard that a strange medicine can be found in the capital, called Baiweicao, which can be used to treat this strange disease, but whether it is effective or not is unknown."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "As long as you have it, you have to give it a try." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan braided his sleeves and said to Hua Yue, "Yue'er, you heard it, right? Miss Chen, I want to save you."
Hua Yue sighed. Although she was dissatisfied, she loved the man he loved precisely because he was affectionate and righteous.
"Whatever you say will be so," Hua Yue nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and asked the old doctor: "How long do you think Miss Chen can live?"
The old doctor said: "Based on Miss Chen's pulse, she can only be three months old."
"What, three months? Only three months?" Ma Xiaoquan frowned.
"Sir, it's true. I asked Miss Chen's maid before taking her pulse. In three months, Miss Chen will be twenty-six years old."
"This..." Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, "Okay, you go down first. I will call you if necessary."
"It's an adult"
After the doctors left, Ma Xiaoquan said to Hua Yue: "Yue'er, I have to go to the capital."
Hua Yue knew that he couldn't persuade Ma Xiaoquan, so he could only ask: "Now?"
"Yes, immediately"
At this moment, Chen Xiaoxiao on the bed suddenly spoke: "Master Ma..."
Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue were stunned for a moment, and they quickly came to the bed.
"Miss Chen, how are you feeling?"
Chen Xiaoxiao actually sat up on her own. She stroked her hair on her forehead and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma is worried, my little girl is fine."
Hua Yue also felt sorry for Chen Xiaoxiao and said: "You said it was okay, but you are so seriously ill..."
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Miss Chen, how did you get this disease?"
Chen Xiaoxiao sighed and said: "It's a long story, so I might as well not say it. Well, I'm much better now. By the way, Mr. Ma, you said you were going to the capital, so I don't care..."
"Miss Chen, you don't have to..."
Chen Xiaoxiao interrupted Ma Xiaoquan: "Sir, I am not doing it for you, I am doing it for everyone in the Cao Gang..."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned: "Everyone from Caobang, are Ms. Chen familiar with the people from Caobang?"
Chen Xiaoxiao shook his head: "I'm not very familiar with you, but there is my younger brother in the Cao Gang. I hope you can take care of him. But right now, the Cao Gang is in chaos and the factional struggle is severe. I'm afraid that my brother will be implicated...
..”
"Your brother? Your brother is..."
Chen Xiaoxiao said: "Return to your words, my brother Fang Yun"
"Fang Yun?" Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue looked at each other, both of them were surprised, "Are you Fang Yun's sister?"
Chen Xiaoxiao sighed: "Yes, I just found out not long ago."
Ma Xiaoquan said, "No wonder that boy Fang Yun knows a lot of things. It turns out it's because of you."
Hua Yue said: "No wonder Sister Xiao Xiao knows so many things about the Cao Gang. It turns out it's because of Fang Yun."
Chen Xiaoxiao said with embarrassment: "I have made you and your lady laugh. Sir, my brother is a good man. I hope that you can take care of him and my sister-in-law."
Ma Xiaoquan didn't understand: "Your surname is Chen, your brother's surname is Fang, and your brother also has a sister. How did you figure out the relationship?"
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Fang Yun and I have the same father. In the past, my father accidentally killed someone, so he left me and my mother and ran away, so I took my mother's surname."
"That's it." Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue nodded together.
"Okay, thank you for your concern, sir. My little girl is fine." Chen Xiaoxiao said and was about to get out of bed.
Ma Xiaoquan grabbed Chen Xiaoxiao, shook his head and said: "Miss Chen, I have sent a doctor to check your illness. It is not an incurable disease. As long as you have the right medicine, it can be cured."
Chen Xiaoxiao sighed and said: "Baweicao..."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned: "How do you know about Baiwei grass?"
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and said: "My daughter is not an official, and she has no rights. Although I have some money on hand, it is hard to buy it with a thousand dollars. I need it... I have already known about Baiwei grass, but I have never been able to find it. It is said that there is it in the capital.
I have been there before, but it has been bought.”
"Buy it? Such rare medicinal materials should be very expensive. Even high-ranking officials have to weigh it..."
Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head again: "The person who bought Baiweicao is not an ordinary person, but... King Xin..."
"King Xin? Are you talking about Zhu Youjian?" Ma Xiaoquan said in surprise.
Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Ma Xiaoquan in surprise: "Your Excellency, you dare to call King Xin by his first name. You are so brave..."
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and scratched his head: "Isn't this anxious? I just said casually, well, if you believe in the king, I can...oh no, please give my brother a try."
Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and she shook her head and said: "I have never met you, sir. Today is just the first time. If you do this, how can I repay you..."
Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "It's nothing. My brother is on good terms with King Xin. If we need Baiwei, King Xin should give some. Besides, we don't need everything. Just a little is enough."
After finishing speaking, Ma Xiaoquan turned to Hua Yue and said, "Yue'er, I have to go back to the capital..."
Hua Yue nodded: "Go, go and come back quickly."
...
After bidding farewell to Chen Xiaoxiao, Ma Xiaoquan immediately left for the capital.
The road to the capital was relatively easy to travel, and Ma Xiaoquan was a horse racer regardless of the cost, so he could reach the capital in less than five days.
Standing at the city gate, Ma Xiaoquan threw the reins of his horse to the horseman outside the city gate, and he walked into the city.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoquan's appearance is still that of Ma San. Originally, he wanted to restore his original appearance, but he was afraid of being targeted by Wei Zhongxian's thugs, so he continued to show his appearance as Ma San.
Arriving at the door of Prince Xin's Mansion, Ma Xiaoquan knocked respectfully.
The door of the palace opened, and a servant stuck his head out and looked at Ma Xiaoquan carefully. Seeing that Ma Xiao was dressed in fine clothes, he asked politely: "This is Prince Xin's palace, who are you looking for?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I'm getting off my horse. I don't know if the king is here, but I came here to visit you."
