Chapter 412 A gentleman's friendship can be as light as water, or as thick as blood.
The next day.
The third quarter of the hour of Si (9:45 AM).
As the knocking sounded, Gongzi Yu was led into the inner courtyard by Xiao Zhao, who went to open the door.
However, unlike yesterday, Mingyue Xin, whom Chu Qinghe saw yesterday, also entered the inner courtyard today.
Furthermore, Gongzi Yu's hair was no longer the snow-white of the past, but had returned to the jet-black color that a young man should have.
Upon entering the inner courtyard, Gongzi Yu paused slightly upon seeing Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, who were now with Chu Qinghe. His gaze towards Chu Qinghe became more intriguing.
Having experienced yesterday's events, and now that Gongzi Yu has recovered, Mingyue Xin no longer distrusts Chu Qinghe as before, and her demeanor is now impeccably polite.
After taking Gongzi Yu's pulse for a while, Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "Not bad. The vitality in his body is now circulating continuously, instead of slowly dissipating as before. He just needs to take some medicine to nourish his mind and avoid mental and physical strain."
After saying that, Chu Qinghe asked Xiao Zhao to go to the room and bring out the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
As Xiao Zhao set off, Gongzi Yu raised his eyes slightly and smiled, "Including the treatment and your help yesterday, I now owe you two lives."
After listening to Gongzi Yu's words, Chu Qinghe thought for a moment and then said, "That's one way to calculate it."
Finally, Chu Qinghe casually said, "With your intelligence, you shouldn't be unaware of the problems with the people around you. Did you deliberately make me handle yesterday's matter?"
Gongzi Yu shook his head and said, "It's partly true, and partly false."
After making this ambiguous statement, Gongzi Yu continued, "I never expected that he would try to kill me because of his power. Perhaps it was a slip-up despite my best efforts!"
Then, Gongzi Yu sighed and said, "There are too many things to consider when you are an emperor. You have unknowingly neglected the people around you. You did not realize that the people you once trusted have been blinded by power. I hope you will forgive me."
Chu Qinghe asked, "How were the people dealt with?"
Gongzi Yu said slowly, "If it were only about me, I might let you go, but yesterday's events have implicated you, so we have no choice but to prevent future troubles."
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "That's fine then."
So this is why Chu Qinghe was willing to befriend Gongzi Yu.
When encountering problems, she would also take her own situation into account, so that she wouldn't end up leaving some enemies lurking in the shadows after helping Gongzi Yu.
After a moment, Chu Qinghe finished writing the prescription and explained: "The first prescription is to be taken after breakfast at Chen Shi (7-9 AM) every day. After taking it, you will fall into a deep sleep for one hour. The second prescription is to be taken at Wu Shi (11 AM-1 PM) and swallowed directly. The third prescription is a medicinal bath. Soak for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn at Hai Shi (9-11 PM) every night. The water temperature is up to you, but it should not be cold water."
"I have already written down how to decoct the medicines on each prescription."
Then, Chu Qinghe took out a pill bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table, and continued, "This is the Hundred Herbs Nourishing Spirit Pill, which is specially used to nourish the mind and spirit. You have been overworking your mind, so this thing will be most effective for you. Take three pills before going to bed every day, and after you finish them, your problem will be cured."
Faced with what Chu Qinghe said, Mingyue Xin, who was standing next to Gongzi Yu, remained silent, clearly taking notes of everything Chu Qinghe said.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaosheng spoke up, "Judging from what you're saying, young friend, the Hundred Herbs Nourishing Spirit Pill is the main treatment. The other three ingredients seem to be additional requirements for Young Master Yu to slack off."
Gongzi Yu smiled and said, "I think so too."
Mingyue Xin, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback and looked at Chu Qinghe with some confusion.
To be honest, given Mingyue Xin's current state, Chu Qinghe suspects that it might be because this girl isn't smart enough that she's favored by Gongzi Yu.
In response, Chu Qinghe said slowly, "It's not wrong to interpret it that way, but since the prescription is here, it must have its purpose. As a patient, you should just follow the doctor's instructions."
Gongzi Yu smiled and said, "Then I will do as Brother Chu says."
After saying that, Gongzi Yu said to Mingyue Xin, "Put away the prescription and the medicine!"
Upon hearing this, Mingyue Xin quickly nodded and stood up slightly.
Before Mingyuexin could stand up, Chu Qinghe gently raised the back of his hand, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, the prescription and medicine bottle were delivered to Mingyuexin's front by a force.
Seeing this, Mingyuexin nodded in acknowledgment before carefully taking the prescriptions and medicine bottles into her hands.
However, instead of simply putting these prescriptions away, he memorized them one by one.
Seeing this scene, Gongzi Yu's eyes softened instantly.
Chu Qinghe and Bai Xiaosheng did not disturb them, and silently sipped their tea.
After an incense stick had burned, Mingyue Xin carefully folded the prescriptions and put them into her bosom after she had memorized all the contents of the three prescriptions in her hand.
Only then did Mingyue Xin realize that something was wrong.
She immediately looked up and glanced at Chu Qinghe and the others, as well as the smiling Gongzi Yu, and her pretty face turned red.
In response, Gongzi Yu smiled and patted Mingyue Xin on the shoulder before turning to Chu Qinghe and saying, "Alright, let's talk about the affairs of the court first."
After drawing Chu Qinghe and the others' attention with a single sentence, Gongzi Yu said, "In the past six months, Zhu Wushi's power and confidants have been completely eradicated by me. Regardless of matters in the martial world, many problems on the imperial court side have been resolved, and the foundation has been laid."
"Moreover, I have met with some of the better court officials, such as Zhuge Zhengwo and Cao Zhengchun, in private. When your people take the imperial seal to Cao Zhengchun and Zhuge Zhengwo, Cao Zhengchun will naturally tell them everything I have prepared. Given the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the two top powers, Shenjian Villa and Wudang Sect, have no objections, it is fine even if you want to change the dynasty."
