Chapter 113: There’s a Problem with the Prescription

"The medicine made someone sick??"

Yang Xun shot up in bed, his face a mask of shock. All traces of sleepiness vanished in an instant.

He had indeed helped Murong Wei a few days ago by modifying a prescription.

It was a prescription for treating vaginismus!

But he had modified it strictly according to the records in the Rejuvenation Medical Scripture.

The Rejuvenation Medical Scripture was the supreme text from the Medical Immortal’s legacy. Every prescription recorded within had been refined over countless trials and verified by countless generations.

Even if it couldn’t cure the illness, it was absolutely impossible for it to cause harm!

Of this, Yang Xun was one hundred percent confident.

"Professor, that can’t be right. There shouldn’t be any problem with that prescription."

Yang Xun’s tone was firm, filled with conviction.

"Something really has gone wrong!"

Murong Wei’s voice trembled with urgency on the other end of the line. "She’s in a terrible state right now—burning up all over and her lower abdomen is in severe pain. I’ve had several doctors from Xinglin Hall look at her, but none of them can figure out what’s wrong. Can you please come over right away?"

Hearing this, Yang Xun’s brows knitted tightly together.

’They can’t figure out what’s wrong?’

Xinglin Hall was the top medical hall in Zhonghai City, and its resident physicians were all old masters of traditional medicine with decades of experience. If even they couldn’t find the cause, it meant the symptoms were anything but ordinary.

"I’ll be right there!"

Yang Xun didn’t hesitate for a second. After hanging up, he vaulted out of bed, threw on his clothes in a flash, and snatched his phone before rushing out the door.

This was no small matter!

He had written the prescription. If it really had harmed someone, the responsibility would fall entirely on him. What’s more, Murong Wei’s reputation and that of Xinglin Hall were on the line.

After leaving the Xu Family Villa, Yang Xun hailed a taxi by the roadside and gave the driver the address for Xinglin Hall.

...

「Twenty minutes later!」

The taxi slowly pulled to a stop in front of Xinglin Hall.

Yang Xun tossed the fare to the driver, pushed the door open, and jumped out. He looked up and saw Murong Wei pacing anxiously back and forth at the entrance.

Today, Murong Wei was wearing a simple, white, mandarin-collared shirt paired with light gray wide-leg trousers. Her jet-black hair was tied up in a simple bun. She wore no makeup, but it did little to hide her intelligent and elegant demeanor.

At this moment, however, her gentle face was etched with anxiety and unease. Her brows were furrowed tightly, and her usual calm composure was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Yang Xun get out of the taxi, Murong Wei looked as if she had just seen her savior and hurried over to meet him.

"Xiaoxun, you’re finally here!"

Murong Wei grabbed Yang Xun’s arm, her voice urgent. "Quick, come with me! The situation is getting worse!"

Yang Xun nodded and asked in a low voice, "Professor, what exactly is going on? Tell me everything."

While pulling Yang Xun inside, Murong Wei quickly explained, "The patient said she brewed the medicine according to your prescription this morning. Less than half an hour after taking it, she started feeling some discomfort in her stomach. She thought it was a normal reaction to the medicine, so she didn’t pay it much mind."

"But after two hours, she started experiencing intense pain in her lower abdomen. She described it as a raging fire burning in her stomach, growing stronger and stronger, with no signs of stopping!"

"A raging fire burning..."

Yang Xun frowned slightly. He instantly recalled that the prescription did indeed contain an ingredient meant to arouse passion... the Red Bud Flower!

That ingredient was added specifically to treat her vaginismus.

But a burning sensation lasting for over two hours was far beyond the normal range. Something was clearly wrong.

"And then?"

Yang Xun took a deep breath and pressed on.

Murong Wei continued, "After I got her call, I had her come to Xinglin Hall immediately. Once she arrived, I had three of our senior resident physicians take her pulse. But the results... all three said her pulse was normal. They found no signs of any organic lesions and couldn’t find the cause of the pain at all!"

"All three doctors were completely stumped?"

Yang Xun’s brows furrowed even more deeply.

"Yes!"

Murong Wei nodded heavily, her face filled with helplessness. "They said they’ve never seen symptoms like these. Since they can’t find the cause, they don’t dare prescribe anything rashly, for fear of making it worse."

Yang Xun was silent for a moment. He took another deep breath and said gravely, "Professor, take me to her."

"Okay! This way!"

Murong Wei immediately quickened her pace, pulling Yang Xun through the main hall of Xinglin Hall and down a corridor toward the lounge in the back.

The two of them passed through the corridor and arrived at the door to the lounge.

Before they even entered, Yang Xun heard a sensual-sounding low moan from inside.

The sound was mixed with uncontrollable panting, like a caged cat writhing and struggling.

"Huh?"

Yang Xun stopped dead in his tracks. Standing at the doorway, a look of deep confusion washed over his face.

’That voice... why does it sound so familiar?’

He tilted his head, listening closely again.

The voice came intermittently from behind the door, raspy and strained, yet tinged with an indescribable allure.

He was sure he had heard that voice somewhere before, but he couldn’t place it at the moment.

"Hurry, come in!"

Murong Wei didn’t notice Yang Xun’s odd reaction and pushed open the door to the lounge.

CREAK!!

The moment the door opened, Yang Xun’s gaze fell upon the large sofa inside the room.

A woman was curled up in the corner of the sofa, her arms wrapped tightly around her lower abdomen, her body coiled like a shrimp.

Her cheeks were flushed red, her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her lips were bitten white. Her eyes were squeezed shut, her brows knitted into a painful knot.

The instant Yang Xun saw her face clearly, he froze as if struck by lightning, his own face flooded with utter disbelief.

"Xu Yue!!"
