Sai Huatuo was not angry when Mei Ji questioned him. Perhaps it was because he had experienced too much and had already become disheartened about some things.
He whispered, "My life was given by the master. If it weren't for the master, I would be trapped on the island for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't even be able to go back and burn some incense on my son's grave."
In Mei Ji's heart, Zhuge Qing is the most important person, someone she cannot desecrate and someone no one else can hurt. If anyone betrays her husband, she will never trust that person again.
"I'll never be faithful to you again! I don't want to believe a word of your lies!"
After that, she walked away angrily.
The room fell silent.
Wei Ting stood guard beside Zhuge Qing's bed, staring at Hua Tuo vigilantly.
The two people who were relatively calm at the scene were the killer and Su Xiaoxiao.
The killer had calmed down, but Su Xiaoxiao had not yet gotten into the mood. She and Sai Huatuo sat on two stools in front of the bed. She turned around and asked Sai Huatuo, "Can I ask you guys... what is your relationship?"
Sometimes there are islands, sometimes there is a chilly wind, and it is a tangled mess that cannot be sorted out.
Sai Huatuo sighed helplessly: "There are some sad things I don't want to mention, but if I don't mention it, you won't believe me at all."
Su Xiaoxiao folded her arms and motioned for him to continue.
Sai Huatuo recalled: "When my son was very young, I made a mistake and he fell into a cold pond. After that, he contracted a cold disease, that is, a cold poison. I am also a doctor, but unfortunately I could not cure the cold poison in his body. I took him to seek medical treatment everywhere. God will not let down those who work hard. I really found a prescription, but unfortunately the herbs on the prescription are very difficult to collect. Like you this time, I first received the herbs on half of the prescription and made the first pill. After my son took the pill, I found out that there was an island in Beiyan where the herbs I needed, and I immediately took that evil disciple to the island.
"As soon as we landed on the island, we felt something was wrong, but I was too anxious to find herbs, so I asked him to keep an eye on the boat and I would be back soon. When I returned to the shore, he had already rowed away.
"I was captured by the villains on the island and forced into hard labor. It was you who saved me and took me off the island. When I returned home, my son had passed away, and my belongings were all taken away by that villain. It took a year for my son to take the medicine and die."
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: "But you just said Zhuge Qing still has half a year."
Sai Huatuo frowned and said, "Sir, your condition is more serious than my son's. The effect of the medicine can only last for half a year."
What exactly did Zhuge Qing experience on the island...Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Since Zhuge Qing saved you, why did you go to Feng Xiaoran?"
Sai Huatuo explained, "I came for the herbs in Feng Xiaoran's hand. He had two herbs in total. The purple phoenix grass has been taken away by you. The other one is the purple ganoderma, and I went for the purple ganoderma in the first place. Yesterday, I accidentally ran into a Wei medicine merchant selling purple phoenix grass, and I lied that the tonic pill for your majesty needed this herb, and asked Feng Xiaoran to buy it."
Mei Ji stood at the door and shouted, "Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense! You revealed the master's illness to Feng Xiaoran! You are a traitor!"
The killer glanced at her and said, "Aren't you leaving?"
Meiji snorted.
Sai Huatuo smiled bitterly: "If I want to gain Feng Xiaoran's trust, I must give Feng Xiaoran some sweet things. Besides, even if I don't tell him, he has already read your medical records."
Mei Ji sneered, "But at least he didn't know which medicines the master needed! Now, he comes to snatch all the medicines the master wants!"
Sai Huatuo sighed, "I only told him the first half of the prescription. I didn't mention a word about the second half."
Mei Ji turned her face away: "Humph, who would believe you!"
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Can I see the second half of the prescription?"
Sai Huatuo took out a crumpled prescription from his arms. Both the yellowed paper and the blurred handwriting showed that it was quite old and was definitely not forged tonight.
Many years ago, Sai Huatuo didn't know Zhuge Qing at all, so he naturally couldn't guess that one day he would use a fake prescription to deceive the other party's trust.
So, this recipe is real.
Su Xiaoxiao gave the prescription to Wei Ting for review.
Wei Ting is an expert in this area and he can tell whether something is fake at a glance.
He nodded to Su Xiaoxiao and returned the prescription to Sai Huatuo.
Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Your son has passed away, why do you still want to make the antidote? Is it to repay Zhuge Qing for saving your life?"
Sai Huatuo laughed at himself: "You can say that, or you can think of it as an obsession in my heart."
Sai Huatuo said: "The purple Ganoderma lucidum in Feng Xiaoran's hand, the jade coral in the Third Prince's mansion, and the Snow Region Gastrodia elata and Snake Bone Flower."
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Where are the last two herbs?"
Sai Huatuo shook his head: "I don't know."
He looked out the window at the night and said, "I have to go. I came out here on the pretext of buying medicine, and I have to go back soon. If I go back too late, Feng Xiaoran will definitely get suspicious. I will help you get the purple Ganoderma lucidum as soon as possible, and you can only rely on yourselves as for the Third Prince."
…
After Sai Huatuo left, the killer also left the house.
The only people left in the room were the unconscious Zhuge Qing, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting.
"What do you think?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting didn't rush to answer, but asked first: "Is the prescription suitable for the disease?"
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I know most of the herbs in the prescription, and their medicinal properties are indeed for treating colds. What? Do you suspect Sai Huatuo is lying?"
Wei Ting pondered for a moment and said, "The recipe should be real, and the purple Ganoderma lucidum is indeed in Feng Xiaoran's hands, but we don't know whether Sai Huatuo is really helping us or it's just a trap set by Feng Xiaoran."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "As long as the recipe is genuine and the Ganoderma lucidum is genuine, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Just do it.
Can a mere Feng Xiaoran defeat the first scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the first counselor of the Western Jin Dynasty? Besides, there is also her cheat.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, "What are your plans after you get the two medicinal herbs?"
Wei Ting glanced at the sleeping Zhuge Qing, his eyes deep as he said, "Take my second brother home."
…
Great Zhou, Wei family.
Wei Xiyue came to the yard to water the plants again.
She recently moved in with Madam Wei and watered the plants four times a day, once in the morning, noon, and evening, and once before going to bed.
Then when I opened my eyes the next day, I would definitely come to see if my daddy had grown. Sometimes I would even wake up in the middle of the night to check.
The courtyard was pitch black. Old Madam Wei and Nanny Li stood at the gate, looking at the small figure. Old Madam Wei asked distressedly, "How long has she been squatting there?"
Madam Wei sighed, "It's been nearly half an hour, and he still won't sleep."
Old Lady Wei frowned her gray eyebrows and said, "Didn't you only squat in the morning before? Why do you squat at night now? It's so cold, aren't you afraid of freezing?"
Madam Wei said softly, "She said that the other saplings have sprouted, and Daddy must be about to grow up too."
Old Madam Wei was so distressed that she walked over with her cane and touched Xiyue's little hand.
Ouch, I'm frozen!
She leaned over and coaxed softly, "Xiyue, be good. It's too cold outside. Let's go inside first."
Wei Xiyue moved aside.
She won't leave.
She has to wait for her daddy.
Please give me some monthly tickets so that Xiyue can see her father sooner
