Chapter 223 Can be cured
Shen Qingtan pressed his index finger to his lips, signaling Liu Yue to be quiet and not disturb Zhao Yi.
Still a step too late, Zhao Yi came out of the room wearing an outer robe.
He stood at the door, his clear eyes fell on Shen Qingtan's face, only to see a cold and gloomy look between her eyebrows.
Zhao Yi coughed a few times and asked, "Is Qin's Trading Company having troubles?"
"It went very smoothly." Shen Qingtan took Zhao Yi's hand and walked into the room: "I found my brother, my uncle's brother Changsheng."
Zhao Yi had heard of Gu Changsheng. It was he who took Shen Qingtan to see the lanterns, but after losing her, he left the Gu family and no news was heard from him.
"The bond between you two was destined." Zhao Yi lowered his eyes to look at her, a gentle smile etched between his brows. He smiled slightly and said, "Uncle has been longing for cousin to come home, and now his wish will finally come true."
Shen Qingtan nodded, worried that someone might be listening, so he lowered his voice and said, "My brother is Zhong Yuan's apprentice. He promised to treat you."
Zhao Yi was very surprised. He never expected that the miracle doctor they were looking for would be his long-lost cousin.
"It's not safe for us to stay at Wushe Inn to get treatment." Shen Qingtan revealed his inner thoughts: "We will stay at Qin's Trading Company for the time being. Let my brother treat you first. If your condition can be stabilized and it doesn't delay our return to Beijing, we will return to Beijing as soon as possible."
People secretly prevented Zhong Yuan from treating Zhao Yi, so they left the old man at Wushe Inn first and took Gu Changsheng back to Beijing to recognize his relatives with great fanfare.
After all, no one would have thought that Zhong Yuan could not cure the disease, and the person who could really cure the disease was Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng's other identity is her cousin. Using this identity as a cover, he secretly treated Zhao Yi without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Zhao Yi had no objection and followed Shen Qingtan's arrangements.
Shen Qingtan and Zhao Yi went to Qin's Trading Company.
Envoy Chen went with them to Qin's Trading Company.
They did not check out of the room and left all their belongings in the inn.
Someone secretly observed Shen Qingtan and Zhao Yi's every move. They became wary of their departure and arranged two secret guards to follow them.
"They have assassins following them. Don't follow them too closely. Just know where they go and who they come into contact with."
The two secret guards obeyed the order and followed quietly.
The remaining secret guards did not dare to approach Wushe Inn due to the presence of the death squad, and ambushed in the distance to observe the movements in the inn.

The manager of Qin's Trading Company cleaned up a spacious room for Shen Qingtan to live in and replaced all the utensils in it with new ones.
Zhao Yi was weak. He had been traveling for several days without any rest. As soon as he entered the house, he lay down on the bed weakly.
Liu Yue brought a basin of warm water and placed it on the round stool beside the bed.
Shen Qingtan sat on the edge of the bed, wet the towel, wrung it dry, and wiped Zhao Yi's face and hands.
Gu Changsheng stood aside and heard Zhao Yi's intermittent coughing. He frowned and followed the sound to the bed.
Shen Qingtan quickly moved the stool away and subconsciously supported Gu Changsheng's arm.
Gu Changsheng's whole body stiffened for a moment, but he did not push Shen Qingtan's hand away and sat down on the stool.
Shen Qingtan rolled up Zhao Yi's sleeves and placed his hand on the pulse pillow.
Gu Changsheng took Zhao Yi's pulse.
Shen Qingtan asked Chen Yuanshi to tell Gu Changsheng everything about Zhao Yi's situation.
Chen Yuanshi was unaware of the situation and was very disappointed when he saw that it was a young man who was treating Zhao Yi, and that the man had an eye disease.
Even so, he still told Gu Changsheng everything.
"He wasn't well cared for in the womb, and was born weak. Then, when he was a year old, he was poisoned. Initially, I wasn't treating him, so I wasn't very familiar with the situation. Later, I took over. All the prescriptions he took and the treatments he received are recorded in this book."
Chen Yuanshi took out two thick booklets, and then realized that Gu Changsheng couldn't see, so he patiently read them to him.
After reading everything, Dean Chen observed Gu Changsheng's expression. He sat there calmly and listened patiently without showing any impatience.
Dean Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Five days ago, he took the last poison-removing pill, and before he could fully recover, he hurried to Baohua County."
After a pause, he asked, "I wonder if this young man can treat me?"
Shen Qingtan's heart was in his throat and he subconsciously held his breath.
"Yes." Gu Changsheng listened to Chen Yuanshi's talk for an hour without interruption, pressing his swollen and painful Taiyang Xue. "His body is weak. We need to take care of him first, and then remove the stubborn poison in his body."
Chen Yuanshi was startled and asked, "Young friend, can you cure it?"
"Um."
Dean Chen got the exact answer and was about to have a long talk with Gu Changsheng, but he saw that his brows were furrowed and he showed a hint of fatigue, so he decided not to bother him any further.
Gu Changsheng suddenly spoke up: "Envoy Chen, I'll tell you the prescription. Please write it down and boil some medicine for him."
"Okay, okay, come with me, young friend." Chen Yuanshi was more than happy to do so. Knowing that Gu Changsheng had sharp ears, he led the way in front.
Gu Changsheng stood up and followed Chen Yuanshi's footsteps to the outer room.
Shen Qingtan's heart finally settled down, and she held Zhao Yi's hand tightly.
After waiting for so long, I finally got this good news.
Zhao Yi pinched her fingers soothingly, wanting to say a few words to her, but couldn't resist and fell asleep.
Shen Qingtan's heart suddenly tightened, but then he thought that Brother Changsheng could cure him, and his tense nerves relaxed.
She stared at his peaceful sleeping face, her breathing so light that she could only feel it in his nose.
His lips had always been very pale in color, but after taking the detoxification pill, they had turned slightly purple, and his body was visibly weak.
She was worried all the way from the capital to Baohua County. She woke up almost every night to check his breathing before she could feel at ease.
Now the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is visible.
Shen Qingtan put his hand into the quilt, pulled the quilt to cover him, got up and went to the outer room to ask Gu Changsheng about Zhao Yi's situation.
-
In the capital, a carriage was parked in front of the Minister of Personnel's residence. The fourth lady hurried out of the residence with a letter in her hand and got into the carriage.
The carriage stopped hastily at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. The Fourth Lady got out of the carriage and walked quickly into the house through the corner gate.
Suddenly, she stopped and saw a tall figure approaching her. Her face changed slightly and she subconsciously stepped back.
