Chapter 140 Enemies meet on a narrow road
"Doctor... Doctor..." a familiar voice sounded, "Come and see how he is."

Su Yaoguang heard the sound and looked over, and saw Master Wang from the academy running into the temple with two yamen runners carrying a sick person.

The two yamen runners who were carrying the patient were running out of breath. When they saw they had entered the temple, they suddenly lost their strength and put down the stretcher.

Bang! The stretcher fell heavily to the ground.

"Slow down, be gentle..." Master Wang's voice broke with anger. "Doctor, who is the doctor? Come and see quickly."

Jiang Jing got into the crowd and said, "I'm a doctor. What's wrong?"

"Come and see him! He's not in good condition." Master Wang pointed at the man on the stretcher. "He's the student with the best chance of getting into our academy. We can't afford to make any mistakes."

Su Yaoguang looked at Xiao Yanci lying there with rashes all over his face, purple lips, and very weak breathing.

When the government ordered all patients to be gathered, she expected to see Xiao Yanci. However, how could he become so dead after only a few hours?
Jiang Jing knew that Su Yaoguang didn't like Xiao Yanci, so after recognizing him, she didn't take his pulse immediately, but looked at Su Yaoguang.

Su Yaoguang said, "You can treat it. You can't ruin your reputation."

As a doctor, if Jiang Jing did not save the patient, not only would she be drowned by Master Wang's saliva, but she would also lose the trust of the patient at the scene.

Jiang Jing felt Xiao Yanci's pulse and frowned as she asked, "What on earth did he eat? How did he get poisoned?"

Master Wang's face turned grim. "He took in a refugee, who took good care of him and fed him tonics. But, not long after he started eating here, his cousin sent him another tonic. After taking both, he started complaining of constant abdominal pain, and then he became like this."

"So-called tonics actually do have medicinal effects. He's clearly very weak right now, yet he still drinks bowl after bowl of them. Furthermore, the two tonics actually counteract each other."

Su Yaoguang's face showed an unconcealable look of gloating.

She nudged Zhou Wangshu beside her and said, "Did you see that? It's so hard to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman."

Zhou Wangshu rolled his eyes: "What does it have to do with me? When I was sick, you ate meat and I drank porridge, you ate meat and I ate vegetables, you ate meat and I ate..."

Su Yaoguang covered his mouth: "Don't say anything, I feel your mood. Sister will make barbecue for you later, but don't eat too much, your body is still very weak."

"I'm not in vain."

"Yes, you are strong, you are not weak." Su Yaoguang said sarcastically.

Xiao Yanci vaguely heard Su Yaoguang's voice.

——Husband, why do you drink so much?
——I made you some hangover soup, would you like to drink some?

——Don’t worry, my husband. You are so capable that no matter how difficult the problem is, it won’t be difficult for you.

Xiao Yanci seemed to see Su Yaoguang standing guard at the gate of the courtyard, jogging towards him when she saw him returning home.

By that time, Su Yaoguang had transformed into a noblewoman from the capital for him. However, her eyes remained as clear and pure, filled with nothing but trust in him. In his previous life, she had clearly arranged everything for him, so he only needed to focus on his studies and not worry about anything else. Why was he sick and facing so many setbacks in this life?
Xiao Yanci struggled to open his eyes and searched for Su Yaoguang in the crowd. He saw her immediately, but she was chatting and laughing with Zhou Wangshu, paying no attention to him who was ill.

"Brother Xiao..." Jiang Yihuan came over and threw herself in front of Xiao Yanci, saying distressedly, "You must not be in any harm. If anything happens to you, what will I do?"

"You've come just in time," Jiang Jing said. "He's been poisoned and needs someone to take care of him. It's perfect for you to stay and take care of him."

"Poisoned? How could he be poisoned? It must be that Wen. She poisoned Brother Xiao. That vicious woman. Brother Xiao was so kind to take her in, but she actually hurt him."

"I didn't." Wen also squeezed over. "I gave Master Xiao the best supplements, but you gave him duck blood and chicken blood, saying it was to dispel bad luck."

The two women started arguing in front of Xiao Yanci.

"That's enough." Master Wang said coldly, "You are not needed here. All of you leave. No one is allowed to come here until Xiao Ci recovers."

"Brother Xiao (Young Master Xiao)..." The two women were unwilling to leave and looked at Xiao Yanci with resentful eyes.

After this experience, Xiao Yanci was really fed up with these two women fighting over him like a trophy. The most important thing was that if this continued, he didn't know if he could live to see the imperial examination.

"There are patients everywhere here. It's not good for you to stay here. Be careful not to catch any disease." Xiao Yanci said weakly, "Listen to the master, you guys go back first. We can talk about other things after I get better."

"Why don't you leave quickly?" Master Wang said with a cold face.

Jiang Yihuan and Wen had to leave.

As they left, they kept looking back, feeling reluctant to leave Xiao Yanci and full of sorrow.

Master Wang saw Zhou Wangshu and said to him, "Wangshu, you are classmates and fellow townsmen. I am entrusting him to you. You must take good care of him."

"Master, I'm afraid it won't work." Su Yaoguang said, "Our Wangshu is weak and hasn't fully recovered from his illness. If he works harder, his body won't be able to bear it. But don't worry, we have many people here to help. He will take medicine when it's time to take medicine and eat when it's time to eat, just like other patients. We won't let him starve, nor will we leave him alone."

After hearing what Su Yaoguang said, Master Wang felt relieved.

He didn't dare stay here for long, after all, there were many patients gathered here.

Jiang Jing said that his situation was special and that he had to be given a separate room. Only after the poison in his body was eliminated could other people be arranged to stay there.

Su Yaoguang was the person in charge here. Even if she didn't want to bother with him, she couldn't act arbitrarily once it came to her own area. She had originally wanted to pick a room for him herself, but Zhou Wangshu took over the job.

She had a lot on her mind and soon forgot about this incident. The next time she heard about Xiao Yanci, it was the news that Xiao Yanci bribed the young monk and was scolded by the young monk.

"Donor, you are a patient, and so are the others. This room is perfectly fine, so why can't you live here?" the little monk said angrily. "Also, you can say you're donating money for incense, which is for the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, not for buying me candy. Monks should abstain from greed, and you're actually trying to make me break my vows."

Seeing so many people gathered here to laugh at his joke, Xiao Yanci's face flushed red and he said weakly, "I just feel that this place is not conducive to my recovery. My illness requires rest and recuperation."

"You are poisoned and need to detoxify, so you have to go to the toilet frequently. This Zen room is close to the toilet. Is there anything wrong with this arrangement? Look, you still live in a room by yourself." said the person at the door.
