Xie Heng listened to Yun Jiao’s words and nodded forcefully, his expression becoming a bit more composed.

He simply didn’t dare to ask what would happen if the medicine was taken but he didn’t wake up.

Yun Jiao turned her head towards Jiang Youzhi, "I need to write a prescription."

Jiang Youzhi pointed to his desk, "Madam, this way please."

He personally ground ink for Yun Jiao, causing the officials present to make faces and exchange knowing looks.

In the past, only rumors said that the Lord Chief Minister feared his wife, but seeing this, it was clearly beyond just fearing her; this was obviously the husband’s authority being undermined.

After a while, Yang Ying brought the medicine over, and the servant supported Grand Tutor Xie as Xie Heng carefully fed the medicine to him.

Yun Jiao finished writing the prescription, and Jiang Youzhi handed it to Du Ruo, "Go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to get the medicine."

Xie Heng held the spoon and fed the dissolved medicine into Grand Tutor Xie’s mouth.

He was very cautious, ensuring that not a drop of the already scant medicine was wasted.

He placed down the bowl, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on Grand Tutor Xie, hoping that in the next moment, his grandfather would open his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Xizi entered from outside. The Emperor had just received the news and specially sent Xiao Xizi to check on the situation.

Roughly two quarts of an hour after taking the medicine, Grand Tutor Xie, who was lying on the ground, suddenly made a noise in his throat.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

Xie Heng was overjoyed and announced to everyone, "My grandfather is awake, my grandfather is awake!"

Aunt Gu had said, once he wakes up, his life is no longer in danger.

The surrounding officials, some genuinely happy, others feigning smiles,

All had the same thought in their minds: this National Lady’s medical skills are truly remarkable.

Also, the medicine that Grand Tutor Xie consumed was certainly not ordinary. When that young woman peeled off the wax, the pill was wrapped in gold foil.

At this moment, Grand Tutor Xie’s consciousness was still not very clear, and his perception of external information was still disconnected. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Xie Heng suppressed the excitement in his heart and somewhat apprehensively asked Yun Jiao, "Aunt Gu, is my grandfather alright now?"

Yun Jiao smiled, "A stroke is not a minor illness. Grand Tutor Xie will need at least half a month to recover."

"There is a blood clot blocking the blood vessel in his brain, that clot is still there, and he’ll need to take medicine to dissolve it, for no less than three months."

Xie Heng, somewhat embarrassed, asked again, "Then will my grandpa—"

Yun Jiao understood Xie Heng’s concern, "In these few days, once your grandfather can get out of bed and walk around, have someone assist him in walking more."

"It’s important to stay active, as movement can help with the recovery of his limbs."

Suddenly, Xie Heng knelt to the ground and kowtowed to Yun Jiao, "Aunt Gu, you saved my grandfather’s life. I am endlessly grateful."

Yun Jiao quickly helped him up, "You’re too polite, child."

"I think, during this time, you should move to your grandfather’s place, so you can take care of him nearby."

"The mountains here are cool, conducive to recovery, it’s best not to return to Xiang City for now."

Xie Heng agreed.

At this time, the servant carried Grand Tutor Xie on his back, and Xie Heng picked up the medicine Du Ruo fetched, hurriedly following along.

Whether concerned about Grand Tutor Xie or just watching the commotion, the officials exchanged a few words and then dispersed.

Yun Jiao packed up her medical kit, smiled with Jiang Youzhi, and left with Yang Ying.

In the evening, Ruru came back, chattering, "Sister-in-law, I just finished school and went to Grand Tutor Xie’s yard to see him."

Yun Jiao plucked some leaves stuck in her hair from who knows where, "How is Grand Tutor Xie?"

"When I went, Brother Hang was feeding him medicine."

"Brother Hang also said that once Grand Tutor Xie gets better, he will personally present the consultation fee and medicine expenses." Ruru said seriously.
