Chapter 51 Seeking Ganoderma Lucidum
When the Duke heard this, his eyes lit up and he thought: If I hand over the military power, will the Emperor give me the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?
The Duke's wife, who was standing nearby, also had a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She subconsciously looked towards the Duke. The couple looked at each other, and it was self-evident that the Duke had made up his mind.
"Thank you, doctor. I understand!" The Duke did not say anything else. He just politely sent the doctor away.
When the Duke came back, he deliberately said in front of Xu Qingyan and the others: "I will go to the palace right now to see if there are any elixirs in the palace. I will go and ask for them for Jingchuan. There may be precious medicinal materials here that will be good for Jingchuan's health."
Xu Qingyan was a little surprised after hearing what the Duke said: [Ah! What? The Duke is actually going to the palace! Is he going to ask for the Hundred-Year-Old Ganoderma? Does he know that the palace has this? Should I remind him by the way? Well... I'd better tell him! ]
After Xu Qingyan hesitated for a while, she immediately looked up and reminded him, "Father, if you go to the palace, can you ask if there is any Ganoderma lucidum? When I was a child, I heard that those hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum can prolong life! Especially for those who are weak and sick, it has miraculous effects."
"Okay, I'll ask when I get there." After hearing what Xu Qingyan said, the Duke nodded, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.
The Duke couldn't help but think: What a good wife Jingchuan married! If she can really save Jingchuan this time, then she will be a great contributor to our Duke's Mansion!
At this time, Xu Qingyan didn't know that the Duke and the others had already been extremely grateful to her in their hearts. She just looked at the unconscious and weak Pei Jingchuan with concern.
On the other hand, after Pei Jingyuan learned about Pei Jingchuan's affairs, he went to share his joy with Liu Rumeng. Liu Rumeng was so happy that she temporarily forgot about Xu Qingyue's affairs.
Since Liu Rumeng was under house arrest, she asked Pei Jingyuan to visit Pei Jingchuan on the surface to show concern, but actually to find out what the current situation was.
When Pei Jingyuan arrived at Tingyu Pavilion, he happened to see the Duke coming out. So he immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Father, I heard that my eldest brother was in trouble, so I came to see him. How is my eldest brother now?"
After hearing this, the Duke paused and replied calmly, "Your elder brother is still resting. I will go to the palace now."
"Father, what are you going to do in the palace at this time?" Pei Jingyuan asked the Duke curiously.
"I have my own business, you don't need to ask too much!" The Duke didn't say much, and just walked away.
Pei Jingyuan had a bad feeling, so he told the servant beside him, "Go and find out what happened and why the Duke came to the palace at this time."
After Pei Jingyuan gave the order, he came to the inner room. When he saw Pei Jingchuan lying on the bed without waking up, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and then he put on a sad look and turned to walk forward.
Pei Jingyuan looked at the Duke's wife with concern and asked, "Mother, how is my brother now? What did the imperial physician say just now?"
The Duke's wife looked at Pei Jingyuan and saw that his expression was full of concern. She forgot her previous suspicion of him for a moment, so she said to him calmly: "It's okay. The Duke has gone to the palace to ask for medicine for Jingchuan. I believe your brother will get better."
What!
Did my father just come to the palace to ask for medicine for Zhou Jingchuan?
When Pei Jingyuan heard the answer from the Duke's wife, he immediately became alert and thought: What? My father was going to the palace just now to ask for medicine for Pei Jingchuan? Why would my father think of going to the palace to ask for medicine? Father, did he know something?
Pei Jingyuan didn't notice his expression change, but Xu Qingyan, who was standing beside him, had seen it all. [Hey! Is Pei Jingyuan worried because of his uneasy expression? It turns out that Pei Jingyuan and the others have long known that there is Ganoderma lucidum in the palace, which can relieve the condition of the young master! But Pei Jingyuan and the others deliberately didn't say it. They must be worried that the Duke will go to the palace to ask for Ganoderma lucidum! Hahaha... They are so anxious! ]
Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife couldn't help cursing Pei Jingyuan in her heart: Damn it! I was so kind to him just now, how could Pei Jingyuan be so evil? He knew that there was Ganoderma lucidum in the palace that could save Jingchuan, but he deliberately didn't say it!
Instantly, the Duke's wife looked at Pei Jingyuan with an unfriendly look, and began to drive him away, saying, "Jingyuan, if you have nothing to do, please leave first! After all, Jingchuan still needs to rest."
Pei Jingyuan was confused for a moment when he heard what the Duke's wife said. He looked at the many people standing in the room, but why did the Duke's wife only let him leave?
However, since the Duke's wife had spoken, he, as a bastard, could not talk back, so he could only bow and say honestly, "Yes, mother."
Not long after walking out of Tingyu Pavilion, the servant he sent out found out everything that had just happened. When he learned that the Duke went to the palace to ask for Ganoderma lucidum, his face suddenly turned very dark.
"Father, he is really biased! He actually went to the palace to ask for Ganoderma lucidum without saying a word. Does he think he can get it by asking for it like this?" Pei Jingyuan punched the pillar heavily, his eyes full of sinisterness.
Pei Jingyuan still remembers that when he was a child, he was seriously ill and needed a medicinal herb from the Imperial Hospital. His mother Liu Rumeng went to the Duke to ask him to go to the palace to ask for it, but the Duke refused to agree. He would rather let himself be sick for a few more days than go to the palace to ask for the emperor and owe him a favor. But now, Pei Jingchuan is sick, and he actually went to the palace to ask for the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! How can he not be jealous?
It was dark when the Duke returned to the Duke's Mansion from the Imperial Palace. His face showed fatigue and surprise. He was holding an exquisite black box in his hand and hurried into Tingyuxuan.
"Madam, I'm back!" The Duke shouted in surprise before he even stepped into the door.
When the Duke's wife heard her husband's voice, she knew he had succeeded, so she hurriedly stood up to greet him and asked, "Duke, did you get that hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?"
"Well, are Qingyan and the others still here?" The Duke looked at the Duchess and nodded with satisfaction, then looked inside.
At this time, Xu Qingyan also walked out after hearing the words. When she saw the black box in the Duke's hand, her eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.
The Duke immediately handed the box of Ganoderma to Xu Qingyan and said to her, "Qingyan, go and arrange for someone to get this Ganoderma for Jingchuan to take."
The Duke thought: Xu Qingyan should know better than the imperial physician how to take this hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in order to relieve Jingchuan's poison.
"Okay, father." Xu Qingyan happily took the Ganoderma lucidum handed over by the Duke.
The Duke and the others thought that Xu Qingyan would immediately take people to the kitchen, but who knew that Xu Qingyan turned around and went to the inner room.
Xu Qingyan came to Pei Jingchuan's bed, opened the black box, took out the Ganoderma lucidum, broke it into several petals, and stuffed a smaller piece of Ganoderma lucidum into Pei Jingchuan's mouth.
"Qingyan, are you going to eat it like this?" The Duke's wife couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when she saw Xu Qingyan's actions.
"Mother, I've heard people say before that it's okay to eat Ganoderma lucidum raw, and it has different effects on special diseases." Xu Qingyan explained to the Duke's wife calmly.
In fact, Xu Qingyan gave it to Pei Jingchuan like this because the poison in Pei Jingchuan's body was special. She had to put the Ganoderma lucidum in his mouth first, and after some of it was absorbed, Pei Jingchuan would slowly wake up, and then she could swallow the Ganoderma lucidum directly. This would have the best effect.
After listening to Xu Qingyan's explanation, the Duke's wife and the others did not understand the reason for doing so, but they did not question it anymore and just waited quietly by the side.
About a quarter of an hour later, Pei Jingchuan slowly woke up. When he found that he had something in his mouth, he subconsciously prepared to spit it out.
Xu Qingyan quickly reached out to cover Pei Jingchuan's mouth and said to him, "Young Master, quickly swallow it!"
