Chapter 800 - Even If It Can Be Cured, I Won’t Cure You

Even If It Can Be Cured, I Won’t Cure You

The Lu family was praying and finally saw Feng Yu Heng arrive. Ge shi personally led Feng Yu Heng to Lu Yan’s courtyard. While walking, she said:
The symptoms from Yan’er being poisoned are getting more severe. She coughed up blood earlier in the morning, and some of the blood was black. Even a common person could tell that she has been poisoned, but even after a few groups of doctors came, they could not find the source of the poison. The servants that work in the manor have been swapped out, and the medicine was personally fetched by this wife. Even the utensil for preparing the medicine was changed, and it still had no effect.
Ge shi was on the verge of crying, but she knew that now was not the time for crying. As long as Feng Yu Heng had come, it was good. Even if the process of the situation was not mentioned, she begged Feng Yu Heng to save Lu Yan.
Left Prime Minister Lu Song was currently sighing in Lu Yan’s room. A maidservant came to report that Imperial Daughter Ji An had arrived, thus he quickly got up to receive her. He was very respectful, also kneeling to perform a grand salute; however, Feng Yu Heng waved her hand and said:
Lord Left Prime Minister, there’s no need to be so courteous. This imperial daughter came today for a medical examination. If these manners can be set aside, just set them aside.
After saying this, she walked over to Lu Yan’s bed with Wang Chuan and Huang Quan at her side.
The maidservant, Ru Yi, was still standing at the side of Lu Yan’s bed. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng came, she also quickly saluted; however, Feng Yu Heng completely ignored her. In the end, it was Ge shi that tugged her to the side to prevent her from getting in Feng Yu Heng’s way.
Lu Yan was not unconscious. She was quite alert, but her complexion was without a single trace of red. It was as though her entire body had been hollowed out, and she had become a shriveled figure.
Speaking truthfully, seeing her like this caused Feng Yu Heng to be given a fright. In just a few days time, she could actually end up like this. The person that had carried out this poisoning had really wanted to take Lu Yan’s life. This was a little too violent.


Seeing Feng Yu Heng come, Lu Yan was a bit emotional. She struggled to try and sit up; however, she just did not have the strength. She could not even raise her arm to grab Feng Yu Heng’s hand. Helpless, she could only continue to lie in bed and look toward Feng Yu Heng with an unreconciled gaze. Her sunken eye sockets carried tears, but she resolutely refused to let them fall.

Imperial Daughter!
She summoned the energy to speak. Her voice was weak; however, it was not to the point that nobody could hear her.
Imperial Daughter, as long as you have come, it’s good. I am not afraid of dying. I just want to know who it was that harmed me. I’m sorry. I know that my engagement to His Highness the eighth prince came to be as a result of Imperial Daughter’s help. I will not try to guess at the circumstances; however, I also understand that it was a trick that Imperial Daughter employed for His Highness the eighth prince. But I will not argue about it. I like His Highness the eighth prince and want to marry him. Regardless of how the marriage came to be, I am fine with it. That’s why, Imperial Daughter, I must thank you. I just never thought that there would be someone so vicious that they would actually try to poison me to death to prevent His Majesty from sanctioning our marriage! Imperial Daughter, the person that poisoned me is the one that ruined your plans. You must not let them off easy!

Lu Yan spoke through gritted teeth. The poison had not affected her ability to speak. Although her voice was weak, her bearing was still there. Feng Yu Heng did not argue with her too much, only nodding and saying:
Don’t worry, it will definitely be investigated carefully.
She then reached out to feel Lu Yan’s pulse for a while. Sure enough, she had been poisoned. The poisoning had been done quite brazenly, and it had been done very fiercely. It would also cause quite a bit of suffering, and it would not immediately kill the victim; however, the victim would be completely hollowed out within ten days. In the end, a human body would be the only thing left behind. The person would be like a balloon that was slowly deflating with each passing day until the person died. She told Lu Yan:
It can’t be cured, and there is no medicine that can cure it. From the day you were poisoned to the day of your death, there will be at most ten days. I can help increase how long you will live, but it will definitely not surpass one month. You will suffer greatly, and it would be worse than dying after ten days. This is something that you should think about yourself.

She was not frightening them. There was indeed no way of curing this sort of poison. The person that had used this poison was wanting to take a life, and she was able to guess what sort of materials were needed to make this poison. With those things mixed together, not even a deity could cure the poison.
Of course, if she wanted to act, it was not as if there really was no way of treating it. The people of the ancient era did not have medicine prepared for it, but she was able to use modern techniques to force the poison out of the body. In this sort of situation, it would be a course of antibiotics. Once the body had recovered to a certain degree, all of the blood in the body would be replaced. All of the poisoned blood would be extracted and replaced with blood of the same type. Like that, the poison would naturally be taken care of.
But she did not want to treat Lu Yan. She was not a goddess. Had she gotten so bored that she would use the medicine in her space and expend her efforts to save someone like Lu Yan? Would that not be mental? That was why one month was the most that she provided, and the reason was not pity. Instead, she needed Lu Yan to continue living for a period. She wanted to see the reaction of the person that had poisoned her.
Feng Yu Heng was the greatest divine doctor in the world. This was something that had already been decided by the people. If she said that there was no hope, nobody would suspect that there would be someone else that could save her. Once Ge shi heard these words, she collapsed to the ground. Although she was still conscious, she was unable to speak for a long time. It was Lu Song that rushed to ask:
Is it really only one month?

Feng Yu Heng did not reply. She had already said it clearly earlier. She did not want to say it again. Lu Song was not given any face and could not ask again. He just looked at Lu Yan with a look of distress. On one hand, he was waiting for Lu Yan’s answer. On the other hand, he was silently feeling at odds. If he found out who it was that did this, he definitely would not leave the matter be!
Lu Yan was a bit calmer than her mother and father. Feng Yu Heng’s words were not outside her expectations. She just had a bit of anger that had been suppressed the entire time. She knew that His Highness the eighth prince did not have any feelings for her in the slightest, but there were many ways to stop the marriage. Why would the opposition use the most extreme of methods? Just how old was she? She had not lived long enough, but she had to say goodbye to this world.
Lu Yan sneered and stared at Feng Yu Heng. After a long time, she nodded,
Alright, a month it is. Yan’er asks Imperial Daughter, if the person that did the poisoning is found, at least tell me their name. Like this, even if I go to the underworld, I will not forgive them. Even if I become an evil ghost, I will settle this debt with them!



Feng Yu Heng nodded and did not say anything else. She turned and received her medicine kit from Wang Chuan. After opening it, she first took a blood sample from Lu Yan to be examined later on. She then began a course of antibiotics and began to treat her with an infusion.
The members of the Lu family looked at the bottle of liquid hanging next to the bed then looked at Lu Yan. She seemed to have become a bit more spirited. A glimmer of hope appeared in Ge shi’s heart. Maybe she could get better?
Feng Yu Heng told them:
The infusion will need roughly two hours. During this time, as long as Lu Yan does not wildly move the hand that has been pricked by the needle, it will be fine. After the two hours have passed, I will remove the needle. In the future, a female doctor from Hundred Herb Hall will come each day to give her the infusion. At the very least, it will continue for ten days.

Ge shi was entirely focused on Lu Yan. After repeatedly thanking Feng Yu Heng, she then sat next to Lu Yan’s bed and began to wipe away tears.
Lu Song felt that having Feng Yu Heng wait around for a full two hours was not good, and it would be awkward for an official like him to talk to her. After thinking a bit, he simply said:
This old official has another daughter in the manor. How about I have her accompany Imperial Daughter to chat for a while! Thinking about it, Imperial Daughter should have met her during the Mid-Autumn Festival’s banquet. It’s this old official’s eldest daughter, Lu Ping.

Feng Yu Heng nodded and said in an even tone:
That’s fine. Lord Left Prime Minister just needs to have someone lead the way. I will go to Young Miss Lu Ping’s side to sit for a while.

Without a need to bring it up personally, Lu Song brought up having her speak with Lu Ping. This was precisely as Feng Yu Heng had hoped. While walking toward Lu Ping’s courtyard, the maidservant leading the way reminded her, saying:
Eldest Young Miss has a bit of a hidden illness. Would Imperial Daughter please not mind it.
This maidservant was one that worked in Lu Yan’s courtyard. Lu Yan had gotten accustomed to deriding Lu Ping, and even the maidservants at her side had become accustomed to it. Lu Yan had already become like this, yet this maidservant was still mocking Lu Ping. This really was a joke.
Feng Yu Heng’s arrival was not unexpected to Lu Ping. She very appropriately received her and brought her to her room. She then said to the maidservant that led the way:
Quickly go back. Third Sister must not be left alone. Now that there are fewer people in the manor, her side needs to be taken care of.

The maidservant had been wanting to stay around and listen to what they would talk about, but Lu Ping’s reminder sounded quite reasonable to her. The Lu family had lost quite a large sum of money, and it had let go of a lot of servants. They were already lacking workers. If some sort of unfortunate mishap occurred with the third young miss’ side, what could she do if she was not present? Thus she quickly bowed and ran back the way she had come.
Lu Ping watched the maidservant run off before sneering and saying:
For some reason, Lu Yan promised yesterday that, although the Lu family does not have much money left, she still has quite a few nice accessories, and anyone that worked to take care of her until she died would get a portion. They’re all irredeemable servants. For the sake of such things, of course, they must take good care of her.
After saying this, she apologetically smiled at Feng Yu Heng and said:
I haven’t even saluted Imperial Daughter properly yet. Please do not blame me.



Feng Yu Heng shook her head,
It’s fine.

Lu Ping invited her inside to be seated then personally poured her some tea; however, Feng Yu Heng did not want to drink at all. The smell from Lu Ping’s body was getting worse and worse. Not even perfume could cover it up. Moreover, this was a room that she lived in. The smell in the room was extremely disgusting.
Lu Ping also knew the situation. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng did not drink the tea, she quickly opened all of the windows in the room. Although it was a bit colder, quite a bit of the smell dispersed.
Feng Yu Heng took the initiative to say:
You didn’t go out at all after the Mid-Autumn Festival’s banquet, right? I never saw you come to look for me, and it’s not convenient for me to come to the Lu manor. Like this, the matter was just delayed.

Lu Ping helplessly said:
With so many things happening in the manor, Lu Yao also died, thus they did not allow me to go out. If it was not for Imperial Daughter coming to visit today, perhaps we would not be able to meet.

Feng Yu Heng nodded,
That’s right!
She did not say anything else and received her medicine kit from Wang Chuan. Only then did she say:
Go to the inner room. I will take a look at your condition.

The two entered the inner room, and the two servants remained outside. Feng Yu Heng pulled out a medical mask and medical gloves. After putting them on, Lu Ping had taken the clothes off of her upper body. She examined her closely and took a blood sample to be tested later. She then said:
It’s the most standard body odor disorder. There are no symptoms of other illnesses. It’s easy to treat. I will give you some medicine.
While she spoke, she pulled out something from her medicine kit that she had prepared beforehand,
Eat one pill each day. Eat it before going to bed. Eat it for five days in a row. There’s also this spray. Spray it three times each day, in the morning, at noon and at night. After five days, I will come again for the sake of checking up on Lu Yan. At that time, I will give you a type of injection, and you will be better after that.

Lu Ping nodded with a look of gratitude in her eyes. After putting on her clothes, she said to Feng Yu Heng:
I trust imperial daughter’s medical abilities. If you say that it can be treated, it can definitely be treated. I don’t know how I should thank you. There just happened to be something here that you should be interested in. I will bring it for you to see.
