The accessories on his body jingled as he walked. White fingers picked up the antidote from the table, put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it. His narrow phoenix eyes raised slightly: "It's not poison."
Erzhu Huaji's brows were filled with joy. If it wasn't poison, then it must be the antidote.
He picked up another antidote and was about to put it in his mouth, but was stopped.
Erzhu Huaji: “?”
The witch doctor's eyes were filled with confusion, no less than his own: "Are you poisonous?"
Erzhu Huaji: “!!!”
He really didn't notice?!
When Erzhu Huaji thought about how he had boasted to Jiang Zhiyu about his witch doctor's medical skills, he felt a burning pain on his face, and was overwhelmed by embarrassment and awkwardness.
He told him in a deep voice everything Jiang Zhiyu had done yesterday. The witch doctor blinked slightly, and while Erzhu Huaji was still talking, he suddenly took out a knife and cut his palm.
Blood gushed out immediately.
Erzhu Huaji: "!!! You..."
His face was grim and he hadn't recovered yet when the poisonous insects on his body became agitated after smelling the blood and scrambled to climb onto the table and began to suck his blood.
So they watched helplessly as the poisonous insects that had come into contact with his blood twitched violently a few times and then collapsed on the table.
No life.
The difference of only a few seconds was enough to prove that what was in Erzhu Huaji's body was not only poisonous, but also extremely poisonous!
Erzhu Huaji's eyes froze, his face turned red and white, and without caring about anything else, he tilted his head back and swallowed the antidote.
This time, the witch doctor did not stop him. He just stared at the dead poisonous insect on the table, his brows furrowed, as if covered by a layer of frost.
He fell into deep thought. Tudola on the bed saw all of this and tried hard to wink at Erzhu Huaji.
And what about her! She was poisoned too!
Give her the antidote quickly!
Erzhu Huaji looked at her in confusion. When Tudola was about to get out of bed to get it herself, Erzhu Huaji suddenly understood. He took the antidote from the witch doctor, walked to the bedside and fed her.
The witch doctor didn't notice them. After thinking for a moment, he took out a small bottle from his body, put the corpses of the poisonous insects into it one by one, and left.
The reason why witch doctors have such a high reputation in Nan Gu is because of their medical skills. As long as a person is still alive, no matter what the condition is, the witch doctor can save him.
The witch doctor in front of him, Bai Yan, is the best among them.
But now, he couldn't even tell the poison a woman had given him...
Erzhu Huaji narrowed his eyes slightly.
He withdrew his thoughts and looked at Tudora lying on the bed: "Do you want to continue? I don't think it's possible to succeed by pretending to be a friend and deceiving her trust."
Tudora gritted her teeth and said, "No, now that she knows how to prevent the poisonous insects and has a plan to deal with them, she will naturally be less wary of us. Gaining her trust won't be that difficult."
"Until my injury heals, you just need to keep an eye on Prince Yu."
Erzhu Huaji nodded slightly.
…
The weather today is really bad. The sky is covered with dark haze and the courtyard is surrounded by tall walls. There are a few clumps of weeds dotted under the walls. Frost and snow condense on the tips of the grass, swaying in the cold wind.
There were only two masters left in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Zhaorong and Tao Hong, and they didn't need many people to serve them. Jiang Zhaorong was demoted, so he simply sent nearly half of the people away. The Prime Minister's Mansion, which was already sparsely populated, became even more deserted.
Taohong leaned on the bed, holding her young son.
"Master Xiang still hasn't returned home today?"
The maidservant waiting on her in her room hesitated and replied. Seeing Taohong's dejected expression, she consoled her, "Perhaps he's busy with official duties. Madam, don't worry. After all, we still have the young master. The Prime Minister will surely return after he finishes his busy schedule."
Taohong also called Jiang Zhaorong "Prime Minister", and the maid naturally did not dare to change her words.
Tao Hong retracted her gaze, teased the child in her arms for a few times, and then said softly, "I just made a slip of the tongue. I can't say that again in front of the master."
Her voice was so soft that the maid couldn't tell for a moment whether she was talking to herself or mumbling to herself.
"I'm tired, you go down."
After the maid left, Taohong's expression suddenly changed.
She had done it on purpose to anger Jiang Zhaorong that day.
If her child was lost because of Jiang Zhaorong, compared to the fact that she drugged Jiang Zhaorong and let him favor her, that precarious relationship, Jiang Zhaorong's debt to her, was the foundation of her ability to gain a foothold in this prime minister's mansion.
Jiang Zhaorong is a sentimental person.
Given her status, even if she gave birth to a child, Jiang Zhaorong would not be able to make her his legal wife. In the future, there would definitely be other people entering the house.
As long as Jiang Zhaorong always feels guilty towards her, she will not be able to tolerate any injustice no matter who enters the mansion.
But now, the child is saved...
Taohong's eyes gradually became gloomy. Jiang Zhaorong might be good to her child and her as well because he only had this one heir now. However, if more and more people came into the mansion in the future, it would be easy for Jiang Zhaorong to have more heirs.
After all, how could everyone be like Du Yuelan?
etc……
Du Yuelan.
A cold light flashed in Taohong's eyes.
Why didn't she think that as long as she could prevent other people from getting pregnant, Jiang Zhaorong would only have her son as his heir.
Taohong's eyes rolled around and she had an idea.
She called out softly, and the maid pushed the door open and came in.
"I'm not feeling well. I'm going to ask where Miss Jiang is. I want her to help me check."
…
Jiang Zhiyu rarely went to the clinic today. After a few months, the clinic's business was still booming. After Jiang Zhiyu gave acupuncture to the first ten patients today, he asked the servant to bring the previous registration book and fill in the registration for the people in the previous months.
When they heard that Jiang Zhiyu was coming today, even the people in Zuiyuelong didn't care about anything else and hurried to the clinic.
Just kidding, Zuiyuelong can come every day, but you can't meet Jiang Zhiyu every day.
Suddenly, more and more people came into the clinic. There was no room inside, so they went outside, blocking the entire street.
Taohong and the maid almost used up all their strength to squeeze into the house.
She was covered tightly, and her face was not visible, only her eyes were exposed. Jiang Zhiyu looked at her a few more times and saw that the maid was holding a sign of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he knew who this person was.
Jiang Zhiyu signaled the servant to take them to the compartment, and then he stabbed a few more people before stopping.
"What do you want me for?"
She sat opposite Taohong, who chuckled and signaled the maid to leave with her eyes. When they were the only two left in the room, Taohong took off her veil.
"I know Miss Jiang doesn't like beating around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point. I want medicine that can make women infertile."
Jiang Zhiyu chuckled: "Why should I give it to you?"
Perhaps because she had known she would ask this question, Taohong was not surprised and said frankly, "Is it because I helped Madam Xu?"
