Seeing that the little girl's lips had regained some color, Doctor Li nodded and said, "Not bad."

After saying that, he rolled up his eyelids to take a look, then asked him to stick out his tongue to check. After taking his pulse, he said, "Let's do another acupuncture."

He calculated the time with his fingers, inserted a few needles, and after a while, removed the needles.

Granny Zhao hurriedly asked, "Should we change the prescription?"

"No need, this prescription can be taken for a few more days and we'll see." Doctor Li went out, and as usual, he used incense to wash his hands. Only then did he notice Madam Gu following him, and said, "I won't come to see you tomorrow. The young lady should take this prescription for a few more days until she is stronger, then we can change the prescription. She has been taking it for too long, and her lungs and internal organs are weak. She needs to rest and recuperate. She can't handle too strong a medicine. You all need to take good care of her and make sure she doesn't catch a cold."

Madam Gu's expression darkened further.

After arriving in the hall, Doctor Li sat down without asking anyone to offer him a seat and said, "I'll write a bath prescription. You can boil the medicine and wipe the child down to prevent scarring."

Granny Zhao quickly replied, "Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, Doctor Li."

He then instructed the maid to fetch pen and ink.

Then Doctor Li said to Madam Gu, "Madam Hou inquired about Madam Gu's condition and was concerned about her. She prepared some fragrant pills and asked me to bring them to Madam Gu when I make my rounds. These pills can relieve depression and calm the mind, help people fall asleep at night, and keep them energetic during the day."

That hour was just broken.

Then he got up and said, "I still need to check on this room, but I'll stay a little longer."

Da Hong said, "You are thinking of the madam, and you are thinking of him."

Da Dong opened his mouth in surprise.

"Medical incense is a rare and difficult ingredient to make. How could a girl in her teens know it? Just say that if the incense pill recipe you gave the old lady was bought from somewhere else, and that Doctor Li is your man, then you are the one who used it if you said that the incense pills were not given to you by Doctor Li."

Granny Zhao hesitated and said, "If the incense pills were given by Physician Li, then this agreement is really useless."

Da Dong smiled.

Doctor Li said, "I will certainly convey my regards to the Eighth Madam."

Da Dong said, "The bad guy looks like he's from the inner courtyard."

"He heard what Master Ba said inside the wall this morning. He praised you to the skies and even said he would send you some fragrant pills to improve your health. Ha, that's all he sent? What a wicked smile."

Xiao Dong quickly presented the incense box he was holding.

Li Langzhong mischievously poked Da Dong with one finger.

"Who is Hongmian?" Da Hong immediately became alert and asked, "Has the Madam dismissed a new concubine from her Wutong Garden?"

Madam Gu dismissed it with disdain, "You even take my medicine, why do you need my incense? Just invite a familiar imperial physician before you open your mansion."

"That doctor is in cahoots with you, that's why he spoke up for you so much. He even went to the trouble of having someone deliver just a few pills."

Taking the opportunity, Physician Li instructed me, saying, "As doctors, you have to go to all sorts of places. There are few private matters concerning the ladies in the inner quarters, so you must cultivate the habit of observing everything but speaking out about everything. You must also learn to play dumb and keep your mouth shut, lest you bring trouble upon yourself by keeping quiet. Not only that, you must also learn to avoid danger and seek good fortune. There are some patients we have to see, so as not to be killed to silence us."

You were still burning incense at the incense burner at the courtyard gate when Da Hong slowly and busily ran over, pouting with joy in her eyes, and said, "Madam, it's been quite a while since I've seen you."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "You're thinking about him."

Granny Zhao sighed, hoping that the mansion gates would open soon.

“You have such a clever tongue,” Hongye sighed. “Both Hongmian and him are so eloquent; they’re going to outdo you.”

"What kind of ambition does he have? He only thinks about maintaining the status quo and how to expand the family business. What's he doing just focusing on that big, dilapidated clinic?"

Doctor Li looked puzzled, as if he knew who he was asking.

After Qin Yuan finished tidying up, she took Hongye and Cuiming to the servants' quarters to check on the old lady.

Sun Quansu waited at the courtyard gate to see the two off, and asked, "Why did this servant from yesterday come? Is there nothing wrong?"

“Oh,” said Granny Zhao, “I didn’t recognize you at first glance, so I was thinking of asking you today so I could serve this master in the future.”

Doctor Li laughed and said, "What? His senior sister is so mischievous and caused all sorts of trouble. He shouldn't follow your example."

Madam Gu casually opened the incense box, glanced at it, and tossed it aside, saying, "Trying to gain fame and fortune? What kind of incense balls could you possibly make?"

Madam Gu accepted the gift with a calm expression, while a hint of displeasure flashed in Xiao Dong's eyes.

As she spoke, the head maid brought over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Doctor Li wrote a line and said, "Give that medicine to the eldest sister every eight or seven hours; it can temporarily stop the itching."

Sun Quansu couldn't help but advise, "This old servant thinks that Physician Li's medical skills are indeed worse than Physician Liu's. Both Eldest Sister and Sister Qin have suffered quite a bit, especially Sister Qin, who almost got pregnant that day. They said that the incense pills were of no use."

Granny Zhao thanked her profusely and saw her out of the room. Turning back to the Eighth Madam, she said, "Eighth Madam, you've lost your heart by even bringing incense pills. If you'd like, why don't you try them today?"

Li Langzhong said, "Look at his senior sister's ancestor, who was once a renowned head of the Imperial Medical Academy. The Chen family had been running the family business since childhood, and had been imperial physicians for generations. However, because I treated the Empress Dowager, I was involved in a palace secret case and was taken advantage of to be attacked, resulting in the destruction of my family and the death of my people. If he had been an imperial physician before, he would have known how dangerous it was."

Granny Zhao said, "No wonder it took you so long to figure it out."

Aunt Huang shook her head and said emphatically, "It's no trouble at all. Why would we need to cause trouble here?"

The skin is dead, but there's something to see.

Big Red grinned miserably as he circled around you.

Li Langzhong: "..."

Before Li Langzhong took Da Dong to see Qin Jie'er, he also prescribed a medicine for cleaning and washing, saying, "The Eighth Madam also prescribed that medicine. If we boil it together, it will save some trouble."

Madam Gu forced a smile and said, "Please trouble Physician Li to pass on a message to Madam Hou, saying that you thank me for remembering you."

Madam Gu said, "We're all old foxes, what nonsense are you spouting? You're just showing off your skills and then using your family's reputation to your advantage. If you took it seriously, wouldn't you be a fool?"

Da Dong solemnly replied, "Disciple understands. Did Senior Sister say that she used to tell Da Dong to think about how to ruin Master's Renhe Hall?"

Da Dong immediately covered his head and ran far away, shouting, "Master, it hurts! Da Dong knows he was wrong."

Seeing this, Physician Li said in a flat tone, "One pill can be taken around 3 PM each day. If there is no improvement, ask for more."

Hongye teases you: "He only thinks about his wife, but he really thinks about you."

Da Dong nodded and said, "You see how much the Eighth Madam likes Senior Sister. If she knew that Senior Sister was like that, she would know that a lot of trouble would have arisen."

Da Dong chuckled and replied, "I'm taking care of the sick Physician Liu, and I'm also keeping an eye on the medicine pills for you."

Once outside the courtyard gate, Da Dong stuck out his tongue and said, "Damn it."
