Chapter 398: Chapter 400: A Constitution That Attracts Bees and Butterflies

Xiao Jiangheng was very cooperative and nodded his head. In fact, he was well aware of his own health—it wouldn’t last for many more years.

The master at Lingyin Temple had also said that by now, his time was all stolen.

That’s why he roamed the mountains and rivers, feasted on delicacies from all over, admired the beauty of various places, and enjoyed all the finer things in life.

Regrettably, he eventually had to face reality again. His father’s serious illness made him return to Capital City, and it was by chance that he heard about the Divine Doctor, which led him to cling to the last shred of hope and give it a try.

He, too, longed to live on, even if it was just for a few more years.

"Come with me," Shao He led him to the operating room, where he was examined with various instruments, and the results confirmed a vascular blockage, which might require minimally invasive surgery to clear.

Xiao Jiangheng, seeing such novel things for the first time, kept asking questions, and Shao He, without the slightest impatience, introduced them one by one; Xiao Jiangheng listened with utmost seriousness.

Shao He led Xiao Jiangheng out of the operating room and briefly explained his current condition,

Xiao Jiangheng didn’t take it too seriously, but he was shocked to hear that he could be cured, although there were some surgical risks.

"Can you really cure my illness?" Xiao Jiangheng asked excitedly as he grabbed her hand.

If another doctor had said that, he would certainly not believe you, but hearing it from this woman, it carried an inexplicably convincing power.

"However, surgery has its risks—it’s not guaranteed to heal one hundred percent. You need to consider that," Shao He quietly withdrew her hand.

Yet Xiao Jiangheng didn’t hesitate in the slightest, for he had consulted countless famous doctors and none had ever told him there was a chance of being cured.

Despite knowing the slim chances, he was still willing to take the risk and try.

"When can we start the surgery?" asked Xiao Jiangheng, unable to wait.

"With your current condition, it’s definitely not possible. You need to get anti-inflammatory injections for a few days and undergo various checks to make sure there are no problems before we can begin the surgery," Shao He explained.

Not all surgeries can just be carried out on the fly; there has to be thorough preparation to minimize the risk of complications.

Xiao Jiangheng let out a light laugh, "So it seems I’ll need to take up residence here for a few days."

"Actually, there’s no need to trouble yourself like this. You can just stay at home as long as you come here every day for injections and check-ups," Shao He didn’t want to keep too many people at Anji Hall.

This was not a charity hall and with more people, the place would become noisy, and inevitably some rumors that shouldn’t be spread would get out.

He couldn’t help Pei Huaian much, nor did he wish to cause him any further trouble.

"I still think it’s more convenient to stay here. I can pay silver, and I definitely won’t disturb any of you," Xiao Jiangheng held up three fingers as he earnestly promised.

Yun Qian came out and happened to see this scene, stepping forward to ask, "What’s happening? With your ability to attract attention, you’re really not to be underestimated."

"What nonsensical talk? This gentleman is a patient. We’re discussing his surgery. He needs to have anti-inflammatory injections and undergo various checks beforehand, which might be inconvenient if he stays at home," she explained.

"Then he should stay here. What’s there to hesitate about?" Yun Qian truly didn’t understand what they were fussing about.

Shao He touched her nose and explained, "I’m not asking for your opinion, after all, this is your establishment."

"What’s that got to do with it? I opened this establishment to make things convenient for everyone." Yun Qian’s gaze remained fixed on the man, feeling that he seemed somewhat familiar.

With that, the arrangement was set, and Xiao Jiangheng left happily.

That evening, Xiao Jiangheng arrived at Anji Hall with a few changes of clothes, and Yun Qian had a wing room specially cleaned for him.

The surgery was scheduled for two days later, and in the meanwhile, he didn’t look sick at all.

He even helped Zhao Yuebei dry herbs and tidy up the courtyard, which was hard to imagine for someone of his noble status to do such work.

Shao He brought over some tea and set it on the table, "I really can’t tell if you’re here for treatment or to help out around here."

Xiao Jiangheng laughed unconcernedly, put down the broom in his hand, and walked over, saying, "I’m used to traveling, and these things naturally fall to me to take care of."

Shao He discussed the surgical plan and the need for post-operative recovery with him, to which Xiao Jiangheng had no objections.

Watching the person rise and leave, she couldn’t help wondering, "Doctor Shao, why choose someone from the royal family?"

He heard some talk of Doctor Shao being the Fifth Prince’s Consort, but he didn’t think she was someone who liked to ingratiate herself with the powerful. Perhaps there were many reluctant reasons.

"What’s wrong with the royal family? Only those of high status and power can protect the people they want to protect."

Shao He gave a faint smile. She was married to the man Pei Huaian, not to the royal family, but there was no need to say this to others.

Xiao Jiangheng lowered his gaze, "Is that so? If one really stands at the peak of power, can they truly obtain everything they desire?"

"Not entirely, but at the very least, you’ll have many choices," Shao He said as she walked away.

Xiao Jiangheng sat in the chair, lost in thought for a long time, until Yun Qian, seeing the daydreaming man, clapped him on the shoulder and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Xiao Jiangheng snapped back to reality with a smile and shook his head.
