The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

Old Qi quickly stood up. "Doctor, I am her mentor."

The doctor called him to his office and then left.

Ling Wenchen, who was turning his wheelchair, gripped the handles tightly and watched them leave before following the nurse to Jiang Yuyan's ward.

Although he didn't know exactly what the doctor would say to Mr. Qi, he had a feeling it might be related to the child.

Looking at Jiang Yuyan, who lay weakly on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, Ling Wenchen pursed his lips.

After a long silence, he trembled as he reached out and tightly grasped her cold hand, covering it with his own.

Severe dehydration?

Low blood sugar?

There are even cases of malnutrition?

He recognized the words, but when put together, it was hard to imagine that these symptoms could all appear in one person at the same time.

Ling Wenchen even suspected that the doctor might be implying that Jiang Yuyan was on the verge of death.

But he dared not ask, nor could he ask.

Because, of everyone present, he was the least qualified to ask.

Ling Wenchen buried his face deep in her cold hands and remained silent for a long time.

"Is now the time for you to be sad and upset?" Old Qi appeared at the door, interrupting his silence.

Ling Wenchen quickly straightened his back, coughed, and composed himself before turning to look at Old Master Qi.

"Mr. Qi, what did the doctor say?"

"What else can the doctor say?" Old Qi sneered.

Just thinking about what the doctor had said to him in the office made him want to kill the culprit.

Doctor's office.

"Um, I wonder if Elder Qi is aware that your apprentice is pregnant?"

"I know, that's why I brought her here. She, too, is a border soldier."

The doctor was immediately relieved.

"That's right, Comrade Yanzi urgently needs nutrition because of her pregnancy, but she hasn't been getting enough nourishment lately..."

She also has a toxin in her body, causing her physical and mental exhaustion. It's possible that, to protect the fetus, she subconsciously falls into a deep sleep.

In layman's terms, Jiang Yuyan became a vegetable without consciousness.

Old Qi's lips trembled.

The old man, whose body had not yet recovered, almost fainted because of a single sentence from the doctor.

However, despite his grief, Mr. Qi asked the doctor about other specific matters before turning back to his ward.

Upon seeing Ling Wenchen, the anger in his heart instantly erupted.

If it weren't for this damned guy, how could his good disciple have suffered so much?

If it weren't for him, how could she have taken on responsibilities that weren't hers to bear at such a young age?

Old Qi grabbed his collar and punched him hard in the face.

However, he was getting old, and he was out of breath after only a few moves, almost collapsing from exhaustion.

Ling Wenchen wiped the blood from his mouth, remained silent, and continued to stand still.

Old Qi got angry when he saw him like this.

"You don't even know what Yu Yan needs right now, and you're still wallowing in self-pity. Is this the time to be thinking about these things? Get out of here right now!"

Ling Wenchen came to his senses.

He glanced back at Jiang Yuyan on the hospital bed, then at Old Qi, who was quite angry.

He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything and left the ward.

After leaving the ward, Ling Wenchen went straight to the dean's office.

I don't know what they were talking about inside, but he didn't come out of the office for almost half an hour.

After coming out, he handed a wad of cash to his bodyguard and asked him to buy some chickens, eggs, and other nourishing foods.

More is better!

After doing all that, he turned around and went to the cafeteria to pay the cafeteria staff to cook some nutritious food, preferably something that the patient could eat.

after an hour,

Ling Wenchen, carrying a large lunchbox borrowed from the cafeteria staff, returned to Jiang Yuyan's ward.

Just as I was about to turn the doorknob, I heard a loud shout from inside.

"...My apprentice will definitely not become a vegetable without consciousness. Just give me the herbs I asked you to bring, and don't worry about anything else."

Old Qi's assistant was on the verge of tears.

"Old Qi, please... The list you gave me is mostly filled with poisonous plants and toxic substances. If I take out just one of these things, the army will find me dead."

In those days, the control over medicinal materials entering and leaving the military was very strict, and no harmful substances were allowed to enter the border.

Old Qi glared at him.

"What the hell are you spouting? All of these things I need are useful. Do you think I would want to poison everyone with these poisonous herbs? Have you been watching too many plays and lost your mind?"

Qi Lao's assistant: "..."

He chuckled awkwardly, "Old Qi, finding these things might require the approval of our superiors, or else—"

"Knock knock knock—"

The knocking interrupted their conversation.

When Qi Lao's assistant opened the door and saw the person outside, he subconsciously turned to look at Qi Lao, then looked back at the person outside the door, unsure of what to do.

"What are you looking at? Do you think you can stop him if he comes?" Old Qi snorted.

Qi's assistant quickly made way, and just as he was about to ask if he needed help pushing the wheelchair, Ling Wenchen had already wheeled himself in.

He placed the large lunchbox on the only table in the ward and silently took out the shredded chicken porridge inside to let it cool.

Then I took out the food prepared for Old Qi, which was made to suit his taste; it melted in his mouth and aided digestion.

"What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and prepare the things on the list I gave you. If the division commander can't make the decision, then find someone who can to approve it."

"If that doesn't work, I'll take her away myself and go back to Beijing. I'll save my own apprentice."

The assistant was terrified and quickly stopped him.

"No, don't be angry, Old Qi. I'll go right now, right now. Please don't be impulsive." After saying that, he ran off quickly.

He was afraid that if he went any slower, Old Master Qi would really take Comrade Yanzi back to Beijing.

In the ward, only Ling Wenchen and Old Qi remained.

Old Qi: "You heard what I just said, right? What are you thinking?"

"I'll do whatever Elder Qi wants me to do, as long as it can wake her up," Ling Wenchen said in a deep voice.

"If I asked you to leave her right now, would you be willing?"

Ling Wenchen: "....."

Instead of answering Old Qi's question directly, he turned to look at the person on the sickbed.

a long time,

"Elder Qi, tell me honestly, is Yu Yan's condition very bad? Is it true that even if the Soul-Destroying Powder is neutralized, she still won't wake up?"

"snort!"

"If it were that easy, would I need to send people to find those poisonous herbs?"

"If she weren't pregnant, she could wake up simply by taking the antidote, but—"

At this point, Old Qi glared at him fiercely.

"If it weren't for the child in her womb, why would she put herself into a deep sleep, like a dead person, so that the poison in her body wouldn't spread to other parts of her body?"

Ling Wenchen's fingers spasmed and clenched tightly.

"Is there anything I can help you with? Although I'm in the military all the time, my family still has some connections in this area."

It should be said that Ling's mother's family has this kind of relationship.

Although not from a family with a long history in medicine, they did start with medicinal herbs and have a cooperative relationship with several major hospitals.

Old Qi gave him a deep look and handed him a list.

"The first five poisonous herbs are the most important. Find as many as you can and send them to me immediately."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, this doesn't mean you've done my apprentice a favor; it simply means you have a responsibility to protect her."

At the border, Ling Wenchen was the first person to play a role in ensuring Jiang Yuyan's safety.

If anything happens to her, he will be the first person responsible, and he will also be the one held accountable by the higher-ups.

Ling Wenchen nodded.

"I know. Those dishes are all edible for you and Yuyan. I hope that even if Old Qi is angry, he should still eat. Otherwise, if he gets sick from anger, Yuyan's situation will become even more difficult."

Old Qi snorted coldly, "I'll eat it even without you telling me. I won't stand on ceremony with you; I'd be taking advantage of getting a free meal."

Division Commander's Office.

Ling Wenchen called home.

"Feed—"

"Mom, I urgently need some medicinal herbs. Could you ask Grandpa to help me find them? Please send them to me as soon as he finds them."

Ling's mother agreed without even thinking about it.

"No problem."

After discussing this matter, there was a moment of silence before Ling Wenchen tentatively asked his mother,

"Mom, what foods are generally good for pregnant women to eat to nourish their bodies? What aspects should they pay attention to?"

Ling's mother: "???????"
