Chapter 231 Still want the Forget-Love Powder? I'll use the Forget-Love Potion!
"Oh, I was just looking for someone, and I was thinking of having Physician Zhang examine what the medicine that was thrown on the ground was, so I went to see Physician Zhang. Who knew that Consort Jing's maid was asking Physician Zhang about Miss Li's condition, so Consort Jing found out and came along."
The two children were whispering to each other. Consort Jing was extremely anxious. She didn't even think about why Xie Yunchuan was there, assuming that he had been brought over by Sheng Sheng to support her.
Consort Jing said urgently, "Alright, alright, we can whisper to each other later!"
After saying that, Consort Jing lifted the curtain and went inside.
Physician Zhang hurriedly bowed to the group and followed them inside.
Xie Yunchuan remained calm and, leading the two children, said, "Let's go."
Inside the tent, Consort Jing was both angry and shocked when she saw that the person lying listlessly in front of Li Manyan's bed was Li Manyun.
"What's going on? You, you, you...!"
Li Manyun lowered her head, at a loss, while Li Manyan said calmly, "Aunt."
Consort Jing's attention was immediately drawn to her. She sat down next to Li Manyan with concern and put her arm around her: "Yan'er, are you alright?"
Li Manyan grabbed her hand: "Auntie, Yan'er is alright."
Consort Jing could tell that Li Manyan didn't want to embarrass Li Manyun in front of so many people. Consort Jing hesitated for a moment, then finally called over a few people: "Take her away and deal with her as appropriate. Also, bring Li Jin here to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Two people quickly came up and pulled Li Manyun down. Li Manyun stopped struggling. It was unclear whether she was genuinely filled with regret and guilt, or whether she knew that struggling would be futile.
Before being pushed out, Li Manyun glanced at Li Manyan, who met her gaze calmly.
After Li Manyun was subdued, Consort Jing didn't say anything. She just looked at the somewhat dried-up puddle of water on the ground with a worried expression and asked Imperial Physician Zhang, "Imperial Physician, in this state, is it still possible to find out what it is?"
Not to mention that the powder has already dissolved in the water, and now the water has been spilled on the ground, even if he wanted to test it, he didn't bring any tools with him this time.
This room is full of people you can't afford to offend, so even if Physician Zhang can't find anything, he has to force himself to give it a try.
So Doctor Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, put his medicine box aside, knelt down beside the puddle of water, and put his face to the ground to smell it.
Unexpectedly, Physician Zhang actually detected something.
The aroma is fresh and natural, with a faint sweet potato scent similar to that of raw yam. It's not overpowering and has a subtle, almost imperceptible sweetness.
The more Physician Zhang smelled it, the more familiar it seemed. He called over his apprentice, "Come here and smell it. Isn't this the stuff we ground this afternoon?"
The young apprentice did as instructed, and upon smelling it, he revealed the same expression as Physician Zhang: "This, this is..."
Everyone was extremely puzzled. Wasn't this the thing Li Manyun used to harm Li Manyan? Could it be that Li Manyun stole it from Physician Zhang?
Just as everyone was wondering, Physician Zhang came out and explained: "It's not something poisonous. It's because many young ladies went into the mountains to play and try hunting today, but some of them were dizzy because they were too tired."
Yam is both a food and a medicinal herb. It can strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish essence and qi. When ground into powder and taken with water, it is a mild and nourishing remedy, suitable for those with weak spleen and stomach leading to insufficient physical strength. Therefore, I have ground yam into powder for the ladies to carry with them. If they experience discomfort in the mountains, they can take it with water for temporary relief.
The young apprentice chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, I didn't recognize it at first and even asked about it."
Physician Zhang nodded, suddenly realizing: "I remember when the apprentice asked what this was, I jokingly said it was a kind of love-forgetting powder that could make people forget their past lives with just a little bit. Could it be that Miss Li Er overheard this and misunderstood it?"
Sheng Sheng stared in disbelief: "This works?"
It's such a coincidence that Li Manyun overheard my joke.
Xie Yunqi found Doctor Zhang hilarious; what kind of "forgetfulness powder" was he talking about? He even had "forgetfulness potion"!
The young apprentice scratched his head: "It seems that's true. No wonder the powdered medicine disappeared shortly after I put it there."
Physician Zhang lamented, "Yes, it's true. I spent a long time grinding each and every bit of this powder to get it so fine. It's such a pity."
Everyone: "..."
So it turns out that even if Li Manyun fed the medicine powder to Li Manyan, it wouldn't have made any difference.
Oh, it's useful; it helps strengthen the body.
Li Manyan felt a pang of sadness, a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
With the matter settled, Li Manyan no longer wanted to get involved, so she simply asked Consort Jing to handle it for her.
Consort Jing had no children of her own, so she treated Li Manyan like her own daughter. Just then, Li Manyan woke up, so Consort Jing gave up her seat and asked Physician Zhang to take her pulse again.
While Physician Zhang was taking Li Manyan's pulse, Consort Jing said, "Don't worry, Yan'er, your aunt will definitely help you solve this. I don't know how the second branch of the family raised their child. I remember seeing this child many years ago, and she was quite cute back then. How did she become like this now?"
Consort Jing kept complaining about her second brother until Physician Zhang said that Li Manyan was out of danger and only needed to rest.
Since Li Manyan was out of danger, Physician Zhang left with his men.
Once Physician Zhang left, only Consort Jing and her siblings remained in the tent.
Xie Yunchuan had been glancing at Li Manyan from time to time, while he himself kept a low profile, standing outside the crowd without saying a word, and no one noticed him.
Now that Physician Zhang and his guards have left, the tent is empty and becomes somewhat conspicuous.
When Li Manyan met his gaze, Xie Yunchuan looked away first.
Before Li Manyan could say anything, Xie Yunchuan said on his own initiative, "Since the matter has been resolved, I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he added to Sheng Sheng, "Come back quickly, so you can still catch the tail end of the bonfire party."
Look, in just two short sentences, Xie Yunchuan was indeed summoned by Sheng Sheng to have someone back him up.
That's why we're waiting for Shengsheng to go back and play.
Consort Jing didn't think much of it and said, "Your Highness, please go ahead. Why don't the Second Princess and the Fifth Prince go and have some fun too? Yan'er is fine with me here as her aunt. Oh, by the way, I've really troubled you all tonight, and I haven't had a chance to properly thank you. It's getting late, so I'll return to the palace another day and inform the Li family about this matter so that I can properly thank you all."
Sheng Sheng hurriedly waved her hand: "Oh, no need, no need, it's nothing. Besides, it was presumptuous of us to come and hide here with Sister Yan Yan without telling her in advance. I hope Sister Yan Yan and Consort Jing will not blame us."
