He was so angry that his old illness recurred. At this moment, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, as if he had been pushed to the edge of a cliff by fate.

Fan Heng sighed and looked at Xiao Zhixue, his eyes showing both expectation and worry: "May I ask if the young lady has any good ideas to cure my illness?"

Xiao Zhixue's words were like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating Fan Heng's confused mind.

"There is indeed a way, but you need to get into the carriage first." Her words were calm and firm, as if she had foreseen the possibility of a cure.

Hearing the sound, the secret guards hurriedly helped Fan Heng into the car and sat down.

They moved gently and quickly, fearing that any rough action would increase their master's pain.

Xiao Zhixue then boarded the car and shouted to the secret guards outside the car: "Wait outside and don't peek."

Her orders were concise and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Although the secret guards did not know whether Xiao Zhixue was an enemy or a friend, their absolute loyalty to their master made them obey orders without hesitation.

Seeing the eyes of the secret guards, Fan Heng waved his hand and said, "Everything will be arranged by this young lady. You will guard outside."

Although his voice was weak, it was full of trust and determination.

"Yes, master." The secret guards responded in unison. They stood outside the car like a silent barrier, guarding the master and the mysterious doctor inside the car.

Xiao Zhixue looked around the car. Although it was small, it was still big enough for someone to lie down flat.

She motioned for Fan Heng to lie down, then took out a bag of silver needles from the space.

The silver needle bag was simple and exquisite, embroidered with intricate herbal patterns, which seemed to speak of the doctor's wisdom and compassion.

When Fan Heng took off his shirt, revealing his body covered with scars and pains, Xiao Zhixue held a silver needle in her hand, her eyes focused and calm.

She inserted the needles into the acupuncture points with precision and determination.

Instantly, black blood oozed out from under the needle, as if it was a symbol of the disease being driven away.

Xiao Zhixue took out seven more silver needles and placed them in various acupoints on the top of Fan Heng's head.

Her movements were smooth, like flowing water, as if she was performing a silent dance.

After acupuncture, Fan Heng felt the stuffy pain in his chest gradually disappear, and his long-suppressed breathing became smoother, as if a stream of clear water was washing his tired body and mind.

She quietly opened the bottle cap, drew a few drops of clear spring water from the spiritual spring she carried with her, and mixed them into the medicine.

The spring water seemed to have life, instantly blending with the medicinal liquid, releasing a soothing aroma.

She handed the medicine bottle to Fan Heng, her eyes sparkling with sincerity and concern: "This is a liquid medicine specially prepared for your old illness. Take some first."

Fan Heng stared at the dark brown medicine bottle in Xiao Zhixue's hand.

He trusted her completely, and without hesitation, he took the bottle of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

As the medicine entered my throat, a strong feeling of drowsiness instantly swept over me like a tide.

He closed his eyes and let himself sink into the warm and peaceful dream.

While Fan Heng was immersed in a deep dream, Xiao Zhixue quickly activated her mysterious spatial power and transferred him to a world full of strange atmosphere.

This space seems to be independent of time and is filled with unknown energy.

Before this, she had used her superb acupuncture skills to help Fan Heng relieve the blood stasis in his chest, just like clearing a blocked river of life.

His old illness was not stubborn and difficult to cure, but it was caused by his long-term depression that led to repeated attacks.

Now, with the help of this special medicine, it is enough to completely cure those chronic diseases in his body.

Xiao Zhixue's movements were skillful and precise. She gently inserted the slender needle tip into the vein on the back of Fan Heng's hand. The medicine slowly seeped in like a trickle, flowing along the blood vessels to every corner of his body.

During this process, she took the time to sort out the various herbs that she had recently picked.

These herbs come in various shapes, some of which emit a strong herbal aroma and have the magical power to heal wounds.

She ground the herbs finely and poured the juice into an unused glass medicine bottle, ensuring that it would not arouse any suspicion even if the secret guards investigated.

In this mysterious space, time seems to be accelerated by an invisible force. What originally required a long wait now passes in a flash.

The medicine had been dripped out and Xiao Zhixue gently pulled out the needle and sealed the needle hole with her fingertips to stop the weak bleeding.

Then, she sent Fan Heng safely back to the real world.

Not long after, Fan Heng woke up leisurely, and what came into his eyes was Xiao Zhixue's peaceful smile.

She sat upright in the carriage, her eyes soft and concerned, staring at him quietly.

Fan Heng got up in a panic and dressed hastily. He was horrified when he recalled how he had fallen into a deep sleep without any protection.

If Xiao Zhixue did anything bad to him during this period, I'm afraid the secret guards outside would not be able to detect it in time.

However, looking at her smile that was as warm as the spring breeze, Fan Heng knew that she had no intention of harming him, and the tension in his heart gradually subsided.

Xiao Zhixue noticed the subtle change in Fan Heng's expression, and the smile on her lips deepened. She asked softly, "How do you feel now, Lord? Do you feel much better after this sleep?"

Fan Heng was stunned when he heard the voice and subconsciously felt his body.

He was surprised to find that the long-lost feeling of oppression in his chest had disappeared without a trace. Even the old illness that had plagued him for many years seemed to have fallen asleep at this moment, with no signs of recurring.

He looked at Xiao Zhixue in confusion, his eyes full of puzzlement: "What did you drink just now that has such a miraculous effect?"

Xiao Zhixue gently stroked the small medicine bottle in her hand with her slender fingers.

"The medicine in this bottle can not only cure your old illness, but also contains sleeping herbs, which can help you rest deeply and relax your body and mind. At this moment, do you feel more comfortable than usual, and those ailments that have troubled you for a long time seem to be quietly fading away?"

Fan Heng closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully sensing the changes in his body. Sure enough, he felt a warm current flowing slowly in his blood, and the feeling of pain was gradually replaced by an unprecedented sense of comfort.

He nodded slightly, praising Xiao Zhixue's medical skills.

To express his sincere gratitude, Fan Heng took out a copper token from the leather bag around his waist.

He held the token in both hands, his eyes serious and sincere: "Young lady, you have superb medical skills and have cured my long-standing illness. This token is something I carry with me, representing my identity in the border military camp. From now on, no matter when and where the young lady needs you, just take this token and I will do my best to help you."

Xiao Zhixue took the token and gently stroked the three eye-catching characters "Marquis of Zhenping" with her fingertips, secretly surprised.

She carefully put the token into her arms and bowed to Fan Hengying, "Thank you for your generous gift, Lord Marquis. I will keep this token properly and will not neglect it in the slightest."

Just as Xiao Zhixue was about to lift the curtain and step out of the carriage, Fan Heng's voice sounded again in the carriage, "I haven't had time to ask you yet, what is your name? If we have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I will be able to recognize your identity so that I can better thank you for your kindness today."
