Chapter 1383 A Letter from the Abbot of Dongqing Temple
Dr. Zhao nodded, and Shu Yu felt a little regretful.
Following that, Dr. Zhao administered acupuncture to Young Master Tan, gave him some food, and then suggested that he go out to find medicinal herbs.
Master Tan readily agreed and even planned to have his servants accompany him to lend a hand.
However, Dr. Zhao refused, as he was not used to having someone by his side.
Master Tan didn't force him. Master Zhao, the renowned healer, had his own way of doing things, and he didn't want to interfere, lest he displease him.
Shu Yu also took his leave, then left the Tan family with the thank-you gift prepared by Mrs. Tan and Dr. Zhao and A Ning.
As soon as they left the city, they headed straight for Dongqing Temple.
Sitting in the carriage, Shu Yu brought up the matter of the Xiao family, "I suspect that the Xiao family and Young Master Tan were poisoned by the same kind of poison."
Dr. Zhao stroked his chin, "I can't believe such a thing exists."
Upon arriving at Dongqing Temple, because Dr. Zhao was a physician, they were allowed to enter the backyard.
Xiao seems to be staying quite well here; her spirits have visibly improved after just one night.
She was very happy to see Shu Yu. "It's so quiet here. I went to bed early last night and didn't wake up until Chen Shi (7-9 AM) this morning. I guess a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I haven't slept so soundly and peacefully in a long time."
Seeing this, Shu Yu felt much more at ease and asked Doctor Zhao to take a look at her.
After taking his pulse, he nodded and said, "It is indeed the same poison."
He looked at Shu Yu, "Moreover, this poison should come from the southwest region; it's not found here."
southwest??
That was the place where she had been exiled.
However, the southwest region is vast and may not necessarily be the area of Linzhang Prefecture.
Shu Yu made a note of this for the time being, and then asked Doctor Zhao, "How is your sister-in-law's health?"
"Not bad," said Doctor Zhao. "The person who poisoned her must have been using a higher dose than Young Master Tan, which is why Young Master Tan survived for two years, while Madam Xiang might only last another six months before passing away from illness. But because of this, she was poisoned for a shorter period, and the toxicity didn't take root in her body like it did for Young Master Tan. Was your poison neutralized by the head of the Imperial Medical Academy?"
Madam Xiao nodded repeatedly, "That's right."
The fewer people who know she is still alive, the better, so the emperor directly had the head of the imperial harem show it to her.
The head of the hospital said the same thing at the time. The poisoning period was not long, so the detoxification was a little easier. But she had experienced the pain. The feeling of wanting to just die was enough to experience once.
Dr. Zhao hummed in agreement. "Your problem isn't serious. Although there's still some residual poison, as long as you take your medicine on time, I'll give you two acupuncture treatments in a while, and it should be cleared up. However, you still need to pay attention to your diet and keep a cheerful mood. I'll write down some medicinal diet recipes for you to eat every two days to help regulate your body."
Madam Xiao was very grateful. "Thank you, Doctor Zhao."
Dr. Zhao went off to get busy, and A Ning helped her from the side.
Shu Yu chatted with Xiao Shi for a while, then got up to go find Qiu Daogu.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist nun Qiu also came looking for her. "Come with me for a moment."
Shu Yu followed the Taoist nun Qiu into her room with a suspicious look on her face, and saw that the Taoist nun Qiu took out a letter.
Shu Yu glanced at the envelope, her eyes lighting up instantly. "Is this a letter from Master?"
What a coincidence! She was just about to come over to ask Senior Sister Qiu if there was any news about their master when she received the letter.
