Chapter 1724: Chapter 1725: Internal Weakness

An Jing said, ”I’ve had the physician from Dongqing take a look, and it seems that a doctor checked my husband before he went to Nan Chi as well. But those doctors couldn’t figure anything out; they just said my husband wasn’t eating enough. The problem is, he doesn’t eat much, and when he tries to eat a little more, he feels uncomfortable.”

Gong Juechen said nothing more, took Xiao Changyi’s pulse, and after finishing, he laughed at Xiao Changyi, ”Changyi, ’Favor outer strength over the inner essence’ perfectly describes your current condition.”

Xiao Changyi gave him an expressionless sidelong glance.

An Jing asked, ”Do you mean to say my husband has internal weakness?”

”Yes, internal weakness, very weak indeed. If it continues like this, his health will suffer greatly. Fortunately, now he’s not as burdened by his thoughts. With some medicine and gradually increasing his food intake, he should be fine.”

These words held another meaning: Xiao Changyi was previously too burdened by his thoughts, which led to feeling sick regardless of what he ate. Even if he didn’t vomit, he wouldn’t eat much and would feel full very quickly.

As he spoke, Gong Juechen took out a bottle of pills from his coat and handed it to An Jing: ”These are for strengthening the body, a great tonic. Give him one every seven days. This way, even if he eats little, he won’t grow thinner.”

”Thank you so much.” An Jing was very grateful.

”No need to thank me. The medicine is chargeable~” Gong Juechen joked playfully.

An Jing laughed, ”Didn’t you refuse to charge before?”

”Back then, I didn’t lack money, but now I have Lele to raise and I’m short of money,” Gong Juechen continued to joke playfully.

Finally, Xiao Changyi spoke coldly, ”As the Building Master of Slayer Tower, you have enough money to support ten thousand Lele, easily.”

His men were from Slayer Tower, and the fact that he could command Slayer Tower’s men so effortlessly to help save his wife and even destroy Dongqing proves that if he were indeed from Slayer Tower, he would definitely be the Building Master!

Otherwise, there’s no way he’d have such authority.

Gong Juechen’s expression remained unchanged, still joking playfully, ”I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I do know that there’s no way Zhizhi can bear me so many Lele. Also, this medicine costs ten thousand tael per bottle, so remember to pay me.”

An Jing was both amused and exasperated, ”You’re really asking us for money?” And such a high price.

Gong Juechen said, ”This was crafted with my heart and soul, so isn’t it only natural to charge?”

An Jing said, ”It may be natural, but your price is too high.”

Gong Juechen said, ”This medicine is made from my exclusive formula. Considering you’re my friends, I’m offering the friendship price.”

An Jing broke into a sweat, ”What if they’re not friends?”

Gong Juechen stretched out his hand: ”Fifty thousand tael.”

An Jing: ”...”

In the end, An Jing still paid Gong Juechen ten thousand tael. No matter the cost, as long as the medicine benefits her husband’s health, she doesn’t mind spending the money and buying it. Furthermore, she had no intention of taking Gong Juechen’s things for free.

Gong Juechen, still joking playfully, tucked the ten thousand tael silver note back into his coat and walked toward the desk, ”I’ll prescribe a few herbal remedies, and you can have someone take the prescription to the pharmacy to gather the ingredients and brew them for Changyi. As for his diminished appetite, this can’t be rushed. Take it slowly; gradually adjusting will improve things. But remember, don’t burden your thoughts as heavily as before.”

An Jing responded very seriously, ”I understand.” When it comes to her husband’s health, she is especially attentive.
