It was like a dream, everything went smoothly.
Upon hearing the news that the Medical Saint had arrived in Shangjing, Jiang Qingyao immediately went to meet him happily with He Zheng.
On the way, sitting in the carriage, Jiang Qingyao blinked: "Is the Marquis happy?"
He Zheng said calmly, "Happy."
"..." Jiang Qingyao looked at He Zheng's face. Is this happiness?
Why don’t you smile at all?
"Is Yaoyao very happy?" He Zheng suddenly asked.
Jiang Qingyao: "Of course." Her voice was full of laughter.
Finding the Medical Saint can not only help him find out what happened to his mother back then, but also help He Zheng detoxify him, which is very useful.
He Zheng's gaze became deeper and he gently stroked the top of her head.
Soon, their carriage stopped in front of a tavern in the west of the city. There was a sign on the door of the tavern saying "The owner is expecting a baby, so we will be closed for one day."
A group of people entered the tavern.
Jiang Qingyao looked around and thought that this tavern must be the property of Marquis Anguo, and it was indeed a good place to discuss some confidential matters.
Suddenly, He Zheng took her hand and took them upstairs.
Xi Feng behind him noticed that the master deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for the lady to catch up.
Just looking at this scene, he felt that the air seemed to be filled with a sweet scent.
"Third cousin." Jiang Qingyao called softly.
Xue Jingwen nodded, then said to He Zheng, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."
Suddenly his eyes fell on the two people holding hands tightly.
Although He Zheng's handsome face was cold and his aura was powerful, Xue Jingwen did not feel as intimidated or frightened as he did before.
Behind Xue Jingwen sat an old man wearing a straw hat. The old man was thin but had a very fair complexion. A wine jug hung around his waist. He was holding a bowl of girl's red wine and tasting it in big gulps.
"Who are you bringing me here to treat? We agreed in advance that the consultation fee is five thousand taels. No money, no negotiation."
Jiang Qingyao: “…” So expensive.
"Lao Gu?" she said slowly.
The next moment, Xiao Wuhuo stopped drinking, looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes full of surprise.
"Yun Yu?!"
"Clang." He dropped the bowl, walked forward, and looked at Jiang Qingyao steadily.
"No, no, you are not Yunyu..."
Looks like, very similar.
But so many years have passed, Yunyu can't still be so young, and there are actually differences between the two of them.
Yunyu's appearance is softer, like an orchid in a valley, but the girl in front of him is more charming, just like a crabapple intoxicated by the sun.
Jiang Qingyao said: "Yunyu is my mother."
He Zheng signaled, and Xi Feng led the others to retreat.
Only Jiang Qingyao, He Zheng and Xiao Wuhuo were left in the room.
At this time, Xiao Wuhuo's expression softened a lot, and he no longer looked as nonchalant as before.
He murmured, "I didn't expect Yunyu to have a daughter, and she's grown up this big."
"Is your mother okay now?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Qingyao's expression changed slightly, and she asked in surprise, "Doctor Xiao doesn't know that my mother was poisoned that year?"
Xiao Wuhuo's heart was shocked, "Yun Yu was poisoned?"
"Impossible. With her medical skills, how could she be poisoned?"
"Unless... it's a strange and poisonous creature from another world."
A feeling of loss flashed through Jiang Qingyao's heart, and she talked to Xiao Wuhuo in detail.
It turned out that when Xiao Wuhuo was teaching his two apprentices, he felt that they were both ready to become masters, so he went to travel around the world.
In other words, Xue Yunzhu was poisoned after he left, so he knew nothing about it.
Moreover, when he accepted disciples, Xiao Wuhuo did not know their true identities. He had always been a recluse and did not want to be entangled by the mundane world. He used the pseudonym Lao Gu, and his two disciples also used pseudonyms.
Upon learning that Jiang Qingyao was actually the daughter of Yun Yu and Xiao Xie, Xiao Wuhuo's eyes became even more eager, one could even say they were loving, as if he were looking at his own granddaughter.
Xiao Wuhuo took a sip of wine and said, "Xiao Xie said he was from the Xie family of Runan. Oh, that's the Xie family, the most prestigious family. He is the fourth child in the family."
"Xiao Xie is very handsome, has a good personality, is lively and enthusiastic, and when he likes someone, he can't wait to open his heart to them."
Um?
Jiang Qingyao was a little surprised. It turned out that her biological father was a sunny, cheerful and handsome young man. No wonder her mother liked him so much.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Wuhuo continued, "As for the anomaly, before I left, Xiao Xie said he was going out to treat a noble in the palace... The poisoning might be related to that person."
Just at that moment, an unprecedented person came up to me.
Jiang Qingyao took note of it.
He Zheng ordered someone to check the records of leaving the palace that year.
Jiang Qingyao could no longer ask anything about what happened that year, so she asked Xiao Wuhuo to help He Zheng get rid of the remaining poison.
"Okay, but I have a condition." Xiao Wuhuo turned and said to Jiang Qingyao.
Jiang Qingyao paused, "What conditions?"
Xiao Wuhuo: "I want to take you in as my apprentice, and make you my last disciple."
Um?
Jiang Qingyao said without hesitation: "I accept this condition."
Xiao Wuhuo perked up, "Okay, your mother is a gifted medical genius, what a pity... I believe you will not be any worse."
Yunyu and Xiaoxie's daughter should be a good candidate for studying medicine and should inherit his mantle.
To detoxify, one needs to use a rare medicine called "Wushuang", which is extremely poisonous.
Xiao Wuhuo happened to have this rare medicinal plant, which he picked from a cliff and irrigated and cared for himself.
The imperial physicians were unable to completely remove the poison from Marquis Anguo's body because they lacked this miraculous medicine.
This time, Xiao Wuhuo still took the approach of fighting poison with poison to detoxify.
"It takes seven days to detoxify. Consuming one bowl of antidote daily will trigger the poison, causing excruciating pain that will last for half an hour."
Jiang Qingyao's smile froze on her face: "..."
She subconsciously looked at He Zheng, but heard him say, "It's okay."
He was fine, but Jiang Qingyao was not. After He Zheng left, she pulled Xiao Wuhuo.
"Master, is there any way to relieve the pain?"
The word "Master" immediately made Xiao Wuhuo feel relieved. He smiled and said, "Yes, there is. Acupuncture can relieve it."
Jiang Qingyao said loudly: "Master, teach me!"
She looks exactly like Yunyu, but her personality is like Xiao Xie's, very likable, Xiao Wuhuo thought secretly in his heart.
It takes seven days to detoxify. Jiang Qingyao and He Zheng cannot stay in the Anguo Marquis Mansion, so they say they are going out on vacation to enjoy their own world.
He turned around and moved into the Jinyu Garden, a four-courtyard house in the north of the city that was originally given to Jiang Qingyao by His Majesty.
There was silence in the room.
He Zheng's face turned visibly pale, beads of sweat slid down his face, and veins on his neck and back of his hands were bulging.
He frowned and his breathing became a little rapid.
Xiao Wuhuo was dumbfounded. How could he tolerate this?
After taking the antidote, the toxicity has now been fully activated, which must be extremely painful.
But he didn't yell or cry. His self-control and endurance were simply incredible.
He Zheng raised his eyes and said, "Get out."
This was said to Jiang Qingyao.
