"Mr. Yao, I have a question and I hope you can answer it for me." Lu Anyuan leaned forward slightly and bowed, as if asking for advice from the teacher.
"Your Highness, please speak."
"If a patient is ill and a doctor prescribes medicine, should he inform his family of the medicine's effects and contraindications?"
Mr. Yao's throat tightened, his fingers pressed against the corner of the medicine box, and his expression turned cold. "The doctor may need to follow the family's opinion, but the pharmacist is only responsible for the patient himself, so naturally there is no such rule."
Xu Yixing was originally sitting on a stool in the study, thinking that Lu Anyuan would just ask some common questions as a formality, but he didn't expect that the atmosphere would be so tense as soon as the two of them opened their mouths.
"Shouldn't pharmacists tell patients about the pros and cons of the drug itself?"
Mr. Yao didn't respond, seeming to be evasive. Xu Yixing could tell there was something else going on between the two men's words. Could it be that Mr. Yao had been lying to him about the safety of the drug?
"Didn't the master say this medicine was mild and nourishing? Why are you hesitating today?" Although Xu Yixing also wanted to avoid pregnancy, she wouldn't use it if it was harmful. But Ying Si had also looked at the medicine, so it should be fine.
"Gentle and nourishing?" Lu Anyuan raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing. "Did he tell you that?"
Mr. Yao clutched the medicine bag tightly in one hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, ma'am. I lied to you about this. This medicine is very effective because of the strong ingredients used, but it's unlikely to cause any harm to your body."
Xu Yixing didn't say anything, but Lu Anyuan was furious. "How do you know it wouldn't happen? You prescribed such a strong medicine for my wife without telling her the truth. What on earth are you thinking?"
Xu Yixing finally understood why Lu Anyuan was so angry. There was actually this reason.
"That's not right. I showed this medicine to Ying Si, and he didn't say anything. Is that normal?"
Mr. Yao nodded. "I did contact him. I knew you would definitely ask him to check the medicine after you got it."
"What!"
"But he agreed to it because I promised that I would find a formula to counteract the drug's effects within three months. It's just..."
Lu Anyuan shook his head and sighed, "It's just that the master went into the mountains to collect herbs in winter and avoided us. It seems that he didn't find any useful prescriptions?"
"Your Highness, please give me some time. I will definitely give you a reply within a month."
Xu Yixing was immersed in the fact that Shadow Guard had secretly made a promise to someone else behind her back, and her face was very bad. When Lu Anyuan pushed her back to signal her to express her opinion, she spoke gloomily: "In that case, please hurry up and develop it, sir. As for Shadow Four, I have my own explanation."
Mr. Yao pursed his lips. Now that things had come to this, what had been agreed upon could not be achieved. He really put all the blame on himself.
When Lu Anyuan heard that Xu Yixing hadn't dealt with anything, he sighed inwardly that she was good-tempered, but he still spoke with determination: "Mr. Yao, when you came to me at the end of your rope, I thought I had made it very clear. You have been able to mobilize all the resources and money of the Prince's Mansion at will over the years, but you really shouldn't have kept this matter from me."
After saying this, he glanced at Yixing with pity. In fact, he didn't even need a reason. As long as Yixing told him that she didn't want to have a child, he would never force her. He just hated being kept in the dark and deceived.
"yes."
"In that case, sir, why don't you move back to the small courtyard in the east of the city? I can keep everything the same here."
Mr. Yao remained noncommittal about the Seventh Prince's treatment; it made no difference to him where he lived. Xu Yixing, however, suddenly looked up at Lu Anyuan, his eyes filled with questioning questions: "He's being driven away just like that? Isn't he a great asset to you?"
"Alright, sir, please go back. I will have everything in your courtyard delivered to the east gate. I hope you will live up to my trust and complete the recipe as soon as possible."
Mr. Yao bowed and turned back to pack his things.
"You, are you going to drive him away just like that? Who will take care of you if you get hurt or something happens to you in the future?"
In Xu Yixing's logic, useful people's mistakes can be forgiven to a certain extent, just like her father. She didn't expect that Lu Anyuan would drive Mr. Yao away so easily.
"We have our own imperial physicians in the palace. Besides, we are just asking him to move to another place for research. We have enough money and supplies, so it is not a serious matter."
"I think you are just jealous that others are prettier than you." Xu Yixing made a final judgment. What a rubbish excuse. It was clearly just the suspicion in his heart.
"What are you talking about!" Lu Anyuan slapped Xu Yixing on the back, not hard, but with a coquettish look.
So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in other families was happily reunited, but the population in the Seventh Prince's mansion was decreasing instead of increasing. I don't know how many little maids in the backyard were crying.
The situation in the palace was still the same. Ever since the Second Prince moved out, only the main hall where Concubine Ying lived in Zhaode Hall was still somewhat popular. The other side halls were all empty, and it looked more and more desolate and sad as winter approached.
As if to suit the occasion, a sobbing sound was heard in the main hall. Fortunately, there were no outsiders, otherwise everyone would have said it was unlucky and stopped people from crying.
The second prince was really annoyed and helplessly watched his mother use that trick again and cry in front of him.
The older he got, the more he could feel his mother's limitations. It was a sense of decadence that was unique to women in the deep palace, which suffocated him and made him uncomfortable.
Bowing, the Second Prince once again played the role of a filial son. "Mother, I understand your feelings for me, but you were too reckless yesterday! I already know who is behind this. I originally came to the palace this morning intending to expose this matter to my father. Now that you have interfered, what can I say?"
Ying Fei stopped crying and caught a hint of information: "You already know, who it is?" Her already round eyes became even bigger at this moment, like a crying fox.
"What's the point of saying this now?" The second prince flicked his sleeves and sat down on the cushion. As long as his mother didn't cry, he wouldn't feel so breathless.
"Of course it will work! Tell me who is trying to harm you and me!"
"Anyway, it's not my third brother." The second prince said this in a huff, turned his head away, and digested his anger that was about to rush to his head.
How stupid! I don't know which idiot spread the news of last night's events to the palace. I didn't go to the palace overnight because I had to go back to think of a solution. I also wanted to hide it from my mother, but she still found out.
It would be fine if you just knew it, but you should just cry when you complain, but don't tell me who it is. Can't you just wait for me to expose it? Why do you have to say that the murderer is the impossible Third Prince!
Even if the Third Prince and Concubine Gong were made of wood, this fire would be enough to burn them.
