“At that time, how will you face your parents? How will you face your clan?”
“So calm down first. Think it through carefully.”
Liu Yingying’s eyes brimmed with tears as she spoke. Xu Ping’an let out a long sigh and looked at Li Yuer.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking right now, but please remember your place. You are the patient, and I am the doctor. That’s all there is between us. What happened today must not happen again. If it does, seek someone else’s help. I, Xu Ping’an, will not accompany you further.”
Li Yuer’s face turned slightly cold, and she said nothing.
Xu Ping’an tapped the table.
“Did you all hear me clearly?”
“We understand, sir. I hope you can forgive me. Today… it was I who overstepped.”
After all, Li Yuer was someone who had seen the world. She nodded, her expression grave as she apologized.
Seeing her like this, Xu Ping’an did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he turned his gaze to Liu Yingying.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“Ping’an…”
“Now is truly not the time…”
“If you do, you’ll ruin yourself forever.”
Liu Yingying choked back a sob, wiped her tears, and nodded.
“I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you. But… in this life, I’ve already chosen you.”
This silly girl, she’s really stubborn to the core.
Xu Ping’an waved his hand indifferently.
“Enough, enough. Whatever you want to do is your own business. At least for now, I’m still in charge of this courtyard. Go do what you’re supposed to do.”
Liu Yingying stood up, her teary eyes lingering on Xu Ping’an for a moment before she turned to leave for the Eastern Wing Room.
She bowed to Xu Ping’an.
“Sir, please don’t blame me. I won’t act like this again. Thank you for your magnanimity.”
In the end, only Pei Qingxuan was left.
She looked at the exhausted Xu Ping’an and couldn’t help but step forward, gently smoothing the crease between his brows.
“Husband~ Don’t be angry anymore. Qingxuan won’t act like that again~”
With such a gentle and understanding lady, what more could he say?
Xu Ping’an pulled her into his arms and set her on his lap.
“This matter has nothing to do with you. I was too soft-hearted, or things wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“How strange. Is this year just unlucky for me? Am I doomed to romantic entanglements? Hiss~ No, wait, I have the Body of Chaos, my fate is unfixed. How could I get caught up in romantic disasters?”
“Husband, what are ‘romantic disasters’~?”
“It’s nothing. It doesn’t concern you.”
“Oh~”
Breathing in Xu Ping’an’s scent, Pei Qingxuan’s lips curled into a blissful smile as she gently rested her head on his shoulder.
“Husband treats me so well…”
“You really are easily satisfied. This is just the beginning, you know?”
Xu Ping’an smiled helplessly. His lady was still too innocent.
“Husband…”
“Hmm?”
“Is it possible… for me not to recover my memories?”
“Why do you ask?”
Xu Ping’an was taken aback. What kind of question was that?
“I’m afraid…”
Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but lower his head to look at Pei Qingxuan.
“What are you afraid of?”
Pei Qingxuan’s expression was tinged with fear as she buried her little head deep in Xu Ping’an’s chest.
“I’m afraid that if I regain my memories, I’ll forget you, Husband~ I don’t want to forget you…”
Hearing this, Xu Ping’an felt both heartache and amusement. He gently stroked the girl’s waist-length hair.
“You silly girl, why worry about such things? Don’t forget, your husband is a doctor. Rest assured, even if you recover your memories, you won’t lose your current ones.”
“Really!?”
“Of course it’s true.”
Regardless of how things stood now, if he truly cured Pei Qingxuan, would he dare let her forget her current memories?
Of course not.
He couldn’t forget that look in her eyes when they first met.
Just seeing that murderous glare was enough to make him feel like his throat was about to be slit.
Would he dare let Pei Qingxuan forget her present memories?
If that happened, even if he tried to explain, he might not be able to clear things up.
Who knows, if the Pei Qingxuan of the past got emotional, she might just draw her sword and chop him down.
Even if she didn’t cut him, what if she ended up hurting herself?
So no matter what, he would never let the current Pei Qingxuan disappear.
However… this meant the treatment period would have to be extended.
Come to think of it, it had been a while since he last took his lady’s pulse.
Every night it was always the same scene.
If it were anyone else, their legs would be weak by now and they’d never be able to get out of bed.
“Come, give me your hand. Let Husband check your pulse.”
“Mm~”
Pei Qingxuan obediently extended her hand, her eyes full of admiration and dependence as she gazed at Xu Ping’an.
He took her wrist and felt her pulse, his brows knitting together.
“Hmm, let me see the other hand.”
Xu Ping’an checked her other wrist, his frown deepening.
“Husband, what’s wrong?”
Sensing the change in Xu Ping’an’s expression, Pei Qingxuan grew nervous.
“It’s nothing, just… never mind, it doesn’t affect your current condition.”
“Oh… Husband.”
“Hmm?”
“Can I just stay like this for a while?”
“Of course.”
Holding his lady in his arms, Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but recall the results of her pulse diagnosis.
Logically speaking, Pei Qingxuan’s injuries should have been fatal.
Yet, because of all sorts of ‘bugs’ stacking together, she had actually survived.
But now, it seemed the ‘bugs’ in her body were starting to heal themselves.
In another situation, this would be a good thing—it showed her body was extremely strong.
But now, it was a big problem.
Her body was only functioning because of all those overlapping ‘bugs.’
If one of them healed, the others would lose their balance and collapse.
Yes, her Five Organs were returning to their proper positions on their own.
Pei Qingxuan’s injuries were: Qi and Blood Counterflow, Displaced Organs, Soul Damage, and Threadlike Life.
Those last four words described her overall state, but the first three were the real root of her illness.
Qi and Blood Counterflow was caused by forcibly extracting the Innate Qi within her, which was then blocked and ran wild in her meridians, leading to the meridians shifting and the Five Organs being displaced.
At the same time, she suffered a heavy blow to the back of her head, and with the Innate Qi running rampant, her soul was damaged and her mind became unclear.
His treatment plan was to first regulate her Qi and Blood, then make fine adjustments to her meridians.
Each adjustment would move the meridians a little closer to their original positions, allowing the Five Organs to gradually return and reconnect with the meridians.
Finally, with her restored meridians and Qi and Blood, he would attack the Spirit Palace to stimulate her soul with vitality, and use Miraculous Medicine to repair the damaged parts.
But now, Pei Qingxuan’s body had suddenly started to heal itself.
Thinking it over, there was only one explanation for what was happening to her.
She was… a practitioner.
If the Innate Alluring Bones were not awakened, nothing would happen.
But once awakened, it was hard to control one’s desires, and a unique fragrance would emanate from the body, making it easier for nearby men to lose their senses.
At the same time, those with Innate Alluring Bones were hard to satisfy, and most with this constitution fell due to insatiable desire.
But Xu Ping’an wasn’t worried.
As a doctor, he had plenty of ways to suppress this.
The last trait was Harvest Yang to Supplement Yin.
This was an innate instinct.
Even if she had no intention, once she engaged in the union of Yin and Yang, she would definitely absorb Yang to supplement Yin.
If she were just an ordinary person, this would only make her healthy, energetic, and long-lived.
But if she was a practitioner, it was a different matter.
Yet, even if she was a practitioner, this would be fine with anyone else.
But the issue was… Xu Ping’an possessed the Body of Chaos, impervious to all laws.
He could study countless forbidden medical texts because of this Body of Chaos—within him, chaos was born, neither Yin nor Yang, rejecting all laws.
Even the Heavenly Dao could not know what he had learned, used, or even detect the techniques he practiced.
The key was… because his lady was a practitioner with Innate Alluring Bones, and he was someone with a Body of Chaos, impervious to all laws.
There was no Yang energy in his body, only Innate Qi of Chaos—the very origin of all things before the Heavenly Dao was born.
So, ordinary Yang energy was useless, ordinary Yin energy too. But with this Chaos Qi, plus the Harvest Yang to Supplement Yin of her Innate Alluring Bones, and her being a practitioner—
During their union, she had absorbed the Chaos Qi generated within Xu Ping’an.
And this Chaos Qi, the root of all things, just so happened to be exactly what his lady’s constitution needed to help her recover.
“No matter how much I planned, I never considered myself…”
Having deduced this, Xu Ping’an sighed.
Who could have thought things would develop this way?
Because of his constitution and his lady’s, her recovery was actually accelerating.
But her meridians were still chaotic, and her Qi and Blood were still in turmoil.
Now that her Five Organs had returned to their places, once the Qi and Blood surged, wouldn’t her organs rupture and fail?
This was troublesome. He’d have to change his treatment plan.
