CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 410: HE JUST PROTECTS HIS OWN

Feng Bailin was taken aback.

Dugu Wu furrowed his brows.

Seeing the two men, Dongfang Yong immediately shielded Nalan Chun.

"What are you doing here? Still not satisfied with how much harm you’ve caused Chunchun?"

Listen to this, what kind of talk is that? Feng Bailing almost rolled his eyes to the back of his head.

"Dongfang Yong, we are here to treat Nalan Chun."

Feng Bailing cut to the chase.

The children of the Dongfang Family, none of them inherited the intelligence of Prince Shun, especially this Dongfang Yong, who is particularly stubborn.

"With your abilities? If you were capable, you would have attended to Dugu Xiaojin sooner, that little creature’s illness is not mild."

Dongfang Yong scoffed lightly.

Feng Bailing, who treated Emperor Yongye and the Empress Dowager, was always in the Imperial Palace, and Dongfang Yong, being a less favored illegitimate son, rarely went in and out of the Imperial Palace. Although he had heard from Feng Luochen that Feng Bailing had cured Dongfang Lianhua’s illness, he didn’t believe it, assuming Feng Luochen was just bragging.

Dongfang Yong really disliked Dugu Xiaojin. It was very likely that Nalan Chun went insane due to being frightened by Dugu Xiaojin.

The day after Nalan Chun married in, an incident occurred; before it happened, someone saw Dugu Xiaojin entering and exiting her courtyard. After that, she went mad.

Dugu Wu’s three Princess Consorts, the first died suddenly, the second was murdered, and the third, Nalan Chun, became a fool. The latter two incidents were all related to Dugu Xiaojin.

Feng Bailin’s expression turned stern, she disliked it when others brought up Dugu Xiaojin.

She was just about to explode when she heard a loud bang, and the man beside her acted even faster.

With a loud crash, Dugu Wu lifted his walking stick, and in the next moment, before Feng Bailin could see what he did, Dongfang Yong was struck down to the ground, and Nalan Chun screamed, cowering in a corner.

As Dongfang Yong got up, several of his front teeth were broken.

"Xiaojin is not sick."

It was his failure as a father to discipline her properly that had made Xiaojin suffer these past years, and from now on, no one would be able to bully her.

"I won’t let you touch Chunchun."

Dongfang Yong spat out, with blood and teeth mixed in it.

"I’ll be honest with you, only I can treat Nalan Chun. Mental illness, there are a total of ten types of hysteria involving over three hundred variants. Those doctors you find, they don’t understand at all. Without medication, her condition will continue to deteriorate. You can watch over her temporarily, but can you watch her for a lifetime? It’s better to start treatment early for a chance at recovery."

Feng Bailin put on the professional demeanor of a doctor, and Dongfang Yong was actually taken aback.

Even Dugu Wu couldn’t help but look askance; there are over three hundred forms of hysteria?

"Don’t worry, I’m not giving her any medication right now. I have a method to test for mental illness, which can determine if she is truly ill, and what kind of mental illness she has."

Feng Bailin used the modern BPRS assessment method in medical science, using various options to determine the degree of Nalan Chun’s mental illness and also to clarify whether she was feigning illness.

After a series of tests, Feng Bailin looked at the test results on the paper.

"How is it?"

Dongfang Yong asked anxiously.

"Schizophrenia with acute transient psychosis, and manic depression accompanied by certain hysterics."

Feng Bailin had never seen such a complicated case of mental illness, but one thing was certain; Nalan Chun was genuinely ill.

"She needs some antipsychotic medication, plus supportive therapy."

Feng Bailin thought to herself.

Medicinal treatment is just the foundation; given Nalan Chun’s condition, extensive psychological counseling is required.

But she really disliked the people of the Nalan Family.

Having her provide psychological treatment to Nalan Chun, she was not yet saintly enough to do so.

However, trying medication might be worth a shot.

Being able to treat or manage Nalan Chun’s condition would indeed be beneficial for Prince Shun’s Mansion.

Otherwise, especially Dugu Wu, would continue to bear baseless accusations.

Feng Bailing didn’t realize that she was unconsciously standing from the perspective of Dugu Wu and Prince Shun’s Mansion to make a diagnosis.

Feng Bailing silently recited the name of a medicine for treating mental disorders, pondering about incorporating it into Nalan Chun’s daily diet and letting the people from the nunnery figure out a method.

But when she opened the emergency kit, Feng Bailing searched for it.

It wasn’t there.

She recited it in her heart again, looking, but still, no antipsychotic medication appeared in the emergency kit.

The last time, the sedative used by Xiaojin appeared immediately.

Feng Bailing was astonished, realizing there were two scenarios when it came to the emergency kit providing medication.

The first scenario is that the kit provides urgently needed medicine to those it favors without needing Silver, immediately materializing the medicine, acting quite servile.

Previously, when Dongfang Lianhua, Xiaojin, and Dugu Wu were ill, the medications used were exactly like so.

The second scenario is when the emergency kit is reluctant to provide medicine, but with money, it can still grudgingly do it.

However, this time, despite applying both methods, the emergency kit didn’t provide any medicine.

Could it be that she was mistaken?

"How can there be so many illnesses? Aren’t you fooling people?"

Dongfang Yong expressed disbelief.

In his eyes, Chunchun was an obedient girl except for being moody and unable to care for herself in daily life.

Dugu Wu, with a cold expression, dragged Feng Bailing away.

After leaving the straw hut, Feng Bailing muttered.

"I have already notified the Nalan Family, they will take Nalan Chun, and you don’t have to suffer."

Dugu Wu said coldly.

If Feng Bailing treating them wasn’t enough satisfaction, let her remain ill then.

"Dugu Wu, aren’t you trying to protect me?"

Feng Bailing was taken aback.

"Stop the nonsense, support me, I have to visit several nearby villages."

Dugu Wu scowled, and after some murmuring, Feng Bailing assisted him down the mountain.

She also wanted to check out the situations in those villages.

After Feng Bailin couple left, Dongfang Yong felt guilty, looking at Nalan Chun.

"Chunchun, it’s all my fault for being inept in finding a Divine Doctor to treat you. Rest assured, I will work hard to earn more Silver and employ the best Divine Doctor in the world to treat you. Even if it can’t cure you, I will surely marry you."

As Dongfang Yong said this, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom.

On the paper was a page of information.

"Heavy rewards offered to recruit male and female participants for the Competition Among Ten Countries."

This information was received by Dongfang Yong on his way back to Chu City.

This time’s Competition Among Ten Countries was very important, and strict requirements were laid down by each country for the participants, with some even releasing recruitment orders among mercenaries, promising substantial rewards once selected.

Although Dongfang Yong had taken on some tasks, due to spending most of what he earned on Nalan Chun’s medical treatment, not much was left.

He pondered and decided to participate in the Competition Among Ten Countries.

He sought out the people from Yunshui Temple, gave them some Silver, and then finally said goodbye to Nalan Chun.

At the doorway of the straw hut, Nalan Chun stood there; her expression twisted before she snickered disdainfully a few times, her voice filled with scorn.

"Fool."

But moments later, her expression changed again.

Suddenly, she burst into tears, crying out.

"Brother Yong, stop worrying about me, just run away!"
