"Sir, how long have you been coughing, and have you been coughing up blood?" Zhao Yan asked gravely.
Based on the pulse, he judged it to be a depletion of lung yin, and the situation did not look good. As Zhao Yan asked his questions, Gu Heng’s eyes began to dart about. He did not want his daughter to know how serious his condition had become, so he desperately signaled to Zhao Yan, hoping to keep the matter hidden. Watching Gu Heng blink repeatedly, Zhao Yan noticed Gu Muling standing nearby and immediately understood.
"Miss Gu, I must trouble you to fetch me some paper and a brush. I need to write down a prescription so you can go get the medicine," Zhao Yan said, wanting to send Gu Muling away. Without doing so, Gu Heng would never disclose his true symptoms, and without knowing them, even a divine doctor could not effect a cure.
