I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

229 Asking For Medicine

“I want to ask if your shop has the herbs on this list?”

Lin Suisui walked to the shopkeeper and handed him the list of herbs. “Please help me take a look. If there’s none here, I’ll find another shop.”

“Please wait a moment. I’ll take a look.” Hearing Lin Suisui say that she was only here to get the medicine, he couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. He took the medicine list from Lin Suisui respectfully with trembling hands, opened it, and quickly read it.

After a moment, he looked up at Lin Suisui and smiled politely. “Our shop can get all the ingredients on the list.”

However, a few of these ingredients are still at the warehouse. Why don’t you sit in the lounge next door and wait? I’ll get the assistant to go over and get them now. They’re familiar with the way. It won’t take long to go over. I won’t make you wait long.”

“Thank you, shopkeeper.”

Hearing that the shopkeeper could prepare all the herbs on the list, Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. She thanked the shopkeeper and was solicitously guided to the private room beside where the guests were resting.

Lin Suisui was a female guest after all, so the shopkeeper quickly instructed someone to serve tea and snacks before quietly bowing and leaving.

Lin Suisui didn’t sit there for long before she was attracted by the commotion in the outer hall.

From the commotion outside, there was probably some woman carrying a child. From her anxious voice and the shopkeeper’s words, the shopkeeper received them very quickly. In just a few seconds, they heard Yuan Niang’s sharp and desperate cries.

In a medical center, it wasn’t rare to encounter such things.

Coincidentally, an assistant brought in a charcoal basin, so Yuan Niang stopped him and asked, “What’s going on outside?!”

“There’s a lady outside. She cooked yuanxiao for her son this morning, but the child choked on it. Now… Sigh!”

When the waiter mentioned what was happening outside, he sighed. That woman seemed to treasure that child very much, but she actually encountered such a tragic thing.

Lin Suisui didn’t say anything else. After some thought, she stood up and walked out.

At this moment, the lady in the outer hall was crying her heart out while hugging the child. Lin Suisui didn’t ask too much. She parted the crowd and walked towards the lady. Then, she squatted down beside the lady and gently held the child’s soft arm to take his pulse.

“The child was sent over a little late. If it had been a little earlier, he might have been saved.” The doctor standing beside the shopkeeper also knew that Lin Suisui was an esteemed guest in the shop. Seeing that she was squatting down to check on the child’s condition, he quickly took two steps forward and explained, “Now that he has stopped breathing, it’s really…”

“Su Le, come over and help!” Lin Suisui ignored the doctor and looked up at Su Le, who had followed her over. She gestured for him to carry the child over from the lady.

Su Le quickly picked up the child according to Lin Suisui’s instructions and held him upside down. Lin Suisui only inserted a few needles into the back of the child’s neck and gestured for Su Le to hit the child’s back hard.

There was no movement at first. Just as the lady wanted to stop the child from suffering such a painful blow, Su Le’s second palm slapped down. The child, who originally appeared dead, suddenly coughed again and again. The yuanxiao that had slid into his throat and couldn’t be coughed out was finally spat to the ground with his last cough. Then, the child wailed…

“This child choked on a yuanxiao and couldn’t breathe for a moment. Actually, he wasn’t dead just now. If we use silver needles to pierce his acupuncture points, he’ll choke and cough out the foreign object. When the child recovers his breathing, he’ll be fine!”

Lin Suisui raised her hand and retracted the silver needle that was inserted into the child’s back. As she explained to the stunned doctor and shopkeeper standing at the side, she gestured for Su Le to return the child he was still holding to his mother.

“Thank you for saving my child’s life. Thank you for your kindness!” The lady finally reacted and pulled the crying child to kneel down and kowtow to Lin Suisui gratefully. “If not for you, my son and I would have… Thank you, my wife!”

“Get up quickly. It’s no big deal. You should get the doctor to take a look at your child. He’s been so frightened, so he should drink a dose of calming soup to recuperate.”

Seeing Lin Suisui take a few steps back to avoid Yuan Niang’s bow, Yuan Niang quickly came forward and pulled the mother and son up from the ground. She advised them in a soft voice, “The child’s condition is more important. Go quickly!”

After settling the matters here, the shopkeeper’s assistant returned.

Lin Suisui returned to the private room, then the shopkeeper sent those herbs in. After carefully checking that there were no mistakes, she nodded in satisfaction and turned around to instruct Bai Guo to go to the tent.

“No, no, no. Today, our esteemed guest helped our shop resolve such a big problem. Our shop can’t even repay you. These herbs can be considered the consultation fee for this trip.

“Today’s matter is our shop’s negligence! We’ve troubled you. Please forgive us.”

The shopkeeper quickly stopped Bai Guo and explained to Lin Suisui.

“There’s no need. It’s no big deal. We still have to pay for these herbs!” Lin Suisui knew the value of these herbs very well. She didn’t want to receive this benefit for free.

They said that it was the consultation fee for the problem she had just solved.

However, from the attitude of these people just now, even if this child died, this pharmacy wouldn’t be affected. The reason they came out to beg for mercy now was actually that she had scared them out of their wits at Qifeng Hall that day!

“If you’re unwilling to accept the money, we can only find another shop to ask.”

Seeing that the shopkeeper still wanted to refuse, Lin Suisui only smiled and stood up politely and distantly, planning to leave. Seeing this, the shopkeeper panicked and quickly apologized. At the same time, he didn’t forget to bow and invite Bai Guo out to settle the bill.

After paying the money and taking the medicine, Lin Suisui had no intention of staying any longer. She turned around and was about to leave the pharmacy and get into the carriage. She had just taken two steps when she bumped into a group of people who had rushed in from outside. If not for Bai Guo, who was beside her, and Yin Qiao, who quickly came over to protect her, she would have bumped into this group of armored soldiers!
