Resisting the pain, Nangong Wan staggered into the medicine store. After looking around, she found a seat and sat down.

"Doctor, please take a look at my wound." Nangong Wan said to an apprentice.

When the apprentice saw Nangong Wan's outfit, his gaze turned into disdain as soon as it touched her tattered and worthless clothes.

"We are busy. If you want to see a doctor, please prepare some silver coins and wait quietly for us to finish our work." The apprentice cast a sidelong glance at the money pouch hanging off Nangong Wan's waist before turning around and entering the room.

You look down on people with your dog eyes!

Nangong Wan cursed in her heart as she got up to leave the medicine store.

If it wasn't for the wounds all over her body that dragged her down, she wouldn't be able to muster the slightest bit of strength. Today, she would definitely teach these despicable fellows a lesson!

Just as she reached the door, another woman rushed in, almost bumping into Nangong Wan.

The woman frowned and looked at Nangong Wan's face, which was covered in blood. She immediately opened her eyes wide. How did you... How did it become like this? "

"Xie Ying?" Little by little, the image of the woman and the original owner flashed through Nangong Wan's mind, causing her to blurt out her name.

In Nangong Wan's memory, Xie Ying was the only good friend she had in her life. She didn't mind her background and wasn't afraid of being implicated by her. Knowing someone in this chaotic world did not mean that her life was wasted.

"I just came to buy medicine for mom, how did you end up like this again!?" You tell me! "Who did this to you?"

Xie Ying hurriedly helped Nangong Wan to sit down again. She took out a handkerchief and dipped it in the water from the basin beside her. She carefully wiped the blood from Nangong Wan's face.

It had been a long time since she had felt such care. Nangong Wan couldn't help but be a little absent-minded.

Ever since her status had risen, the people around her had become fewer and fewer. The people around her had once thought that their only confidant, the relatives they would never part with, had joined hands to send her to heaven. She had once boasted that she owned the world, but in the end, she had nothing.

Feng Yaohua had seen too much fake care from these people. Their care was filled with desire and flattery, just like the girl in front of her. Feng Yaohua had never felt such care before.

"Wan, what happened to you?"

Seeing that Nangong Wan had probably not spoken since the beginning, Xie Ying started to get anxious.

Nangong Wan came back to her senses and shook her head with a smile. "It's nothing. I was just thinking about how to deal with Xu Yujiao and get my revenge."

Xie Ying rolled her eyes at Nangong Wan and said helplessly, "When did you learn to joke around? "It seems like your injury isn't serious."

"I am not joking. From today onwards, I will take back the humiliation I have endured bit by bit."

Perhaps the firmness in Nangong Wan's eyes made Xie Ying believe her words, but Xie Ying's eyes suddenly turned red and her voice became choked with sobs.

"Wan, I had hoped that you could pull yourself together, but now that you have said those words yourself, do you know how happy I am? Every time I see you getting beaten up or scolded, I would treat your wounds and comfort you. My heart is about to break. "

Reaching out to take Xie Ying's hand, Nangong Wan lightly patted the back of it. "Don't worry, the Nangong Wan you've been looking forward to is already here."

Xie Ying's status was low, so she couldn't help Nangong Wan. However, every time she was injured, someone would comfort her and take care of her. This was already a blessing she had gained from her previous life, so she could only rely on herself.

Just as she was thinking about everything Xie Ying had done for Nangong Wan, her head suddenly felt dizzy. Nangong Wan could not hold on any longer and fell asleep while lying on the table.

When he woke up again, Nangong Wan was already lying on the sickbed in the room.

Seeing that the person on the bed was slowly waking up, a trace of a smile finally appeared on Xie Ying's tense face. She shouted towards the door.

"Doctor, my sister is awake. Please help her take a look!"

Noticing that no one was paying attention to her, Xie Ying didn't want to give up and kept repeating the same words to the main hall.

Finally, someone lost his patience. He pushed open the door and said angrily to Xie Ying, "South General is in grave danger right now, who would care about your life and death? If you can't cure him, General, then we will have to close the medicine shop.

The doctor turned and left.

After the doctor left, the two apprentices came back in and made a gesture to chase him away.

How could Xie Ying take this lying down? She put her hands on her hips and stood in front of Nangong Wan as she roared at the two of them, "You dare to touch her! Opening a medicine store and not saving anyone, what kind of doctor are you? If my sister were to die in your shop today, even if South General is cured, you would still have to close the door! "

Xie Ying was just a commoner, how could an apprentice be intimidated by her threats? With a cold laugh, he prepared to attack.

"Wait!" Nangong Wan looked at the two of them and tried her best to raise her voice, "If I say that I have a way to cure South General's poison, would you guys give it a try?"

"With just you? If you had the ability, would you have let yourself become like this? "First save yourself, then talk about it later. Our master is at a loss for what to do, what nonsense are you spouting, you little girl!"

Apparently, the two of them didn't believe Nangong Wan's words, and their faces were filled with ridicule.

Nangong Wan turned a blind eye to their mockery and continued, "South General's poison was poisoned by the enemy in a war six years ago, wasn't it? This poison is a strange poison from the Western Regions, it's called Thousand Twined Silk, the main poison is the Hundred Charm Fruit, and the secondary poison is the Snake King's Liquid.

The two acolytes' expressions changed, and their voices started to tremble, "This is a secret! Other than the doctors and royal doctors in our medicine store, only Emperor knows about you.

"I'm not a person, but two years ago, I met a poisonous person from the Western Regions and got to know him very well. He once told me that the female emperor of Great Qin bought this poison from him and poisoned South General. This is a chronic poison, which has been lurking around for many years, once it flares up, there's no cure for it. "

"Since you have no solution, what you are saying now is just nonsense. What a waste of your words!"

"Just because there is no solution does not mean that there is no solution. That poison refiner told me how to detoxify the poison. I wanted to detoxify South General, but the poison was still in hiding and even the imperial physician couldn't find out. Even if he did, no one would believe me. Right now, I am the only one who can cure this poison. If you believe me, then what is waiting for you is glory and wealth.

The acolytes obviously didn't want to die. If they could think of a way to cure the poison, they would've thought of it long ago. Even the imperial physicians couldn't do anything about it, so how could their masters be any more skilled than them? If South General was destined to die, they would definitely be implicated, so they might as well treat him alive.

Everything Nangong Wan said was right. Perhaps she really had a way?

Thinking of this, the two acolytes' attitude towards Nangong Wan became much better. They poured two cups of water for them and went out.

"Wan, why are you lying to them? If you don't cure South General, you might even lose your life! " Xie Ying reprimanded.

Nangong Wan blinked her eyes and made a funny face. She wanted to make Xie Ying relax, but instead she pulled on the wound on her forehead, causing her to grimace in pain.

"If that's not the case, then I won't be able to save my life. Why don't we just let them treat me first? Am I right?"
