Rong Xiu couldn't pretend to be dead anymore. He had to walk around the screen with the porcelain bowl in his hand and look at her with a sour face.

"What's wrong?" Rong Xiu asked coldly, his eyes sweeping across the medicine bowl in Gongsun Li's hand.

"Why didn't you come in just now?" Hua Yuanzhao was confused and keenly aware of Rong Xiu's unhappiness.

"Oh." Rong Xiu glanced at the porcelain bowl in his hand and said calmly, "Aren't you seasick? I got a folk remedy from an old sailor."

He paused, glanced at the medicine in Gongsun Li's hand, and said self-deprecatingly: "However, since Mr. Gongsun has already sent the medicine, I think this thing of mine is a bit redundant."

Gongsun Li glanced at the porcelain bowl in Rong Xiu's hand in surprise, and was even more puzzled when he found that he only brought a bowl of slightly turbid water.

He said politely: "Doctor Hua said that he had already taken medicine... It is inevitable that there are some incompatibilities among these herbs. Rong Shizi does not understand the pharmacology, so it is better not to trust the folk prescriptions..."

Fuling had been listening with her head tilted, but after hearing what Gongsun Li said, she hurriedly lifted the cover of the small basket.

"Miss, is this what you are looking for?" Fuling half-knelt down, held the basket in front of Hua Yuanzhao and asked.

When they tilted their heads, they saw that her basket was filled with a bunch of golden fruits with bumpy skin. Each fruit was no bigger than a woman's palm and looked quite strange.

Hua Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this thing. It was such a coincidence. He didn't expect that there were actually lemons on this ship!

Rong Xiu looked at Hua Yuanzhao in surprise - what did Zhaozhao want the Yimu fruit for?

"Miss, is this enough?" Fuling asked. Unfortunately, this was all she got, and she didn't know if it could cure the young lady's seasickness.

"You can't eat this directly." Hua Yuanzhao said weakly, "Just cut two slices and soak them in water for me."

Fuling nodded blankly, still wondering, how can this fruit be soaked in water? What would it taste like?

"Here." Rong Xiu placed the porcelain bowl in front of Hua Yuanzhao as if presenting a treasure: "You should have told me earlier that you wanted water soaked in Yimu fruit!"

Hua Yuanzhao squinted at him. She didn't know if it was because of seasickness, but she seemed to vaguely see a tail swaying behind Rong Xiu.

By the way, lemon does have another name called Yimu fruit...

So, the bowl in Rong Xiu's hand is the lemonade she has been longing for?

Hua Yuanzhao looked at Rong Xiu with half-belief and half-doubt, then leaned over and took a sip. As the sweet and sour taste entered her throat, she immediately felt that the feeling of nausea was suppressed a lot, and she quickly drank two more gulps.

When Rong Xiu saw that she was willing to drink, the displeasure on his expression immediately disappeared, and his eyes were full of pride.

"I thought that since you are a doctor, how could you be short of medicine?" Rong Xiu said meaningfully, "So I brought the motherwort water, and it came in handy."

Rong Xiu said this and glanced at the untouched bowl of medicine in Gongsun Li's hand, feeling even more proud.

"Fuling, go pour out the extra medicine, or the whole house will be filled with the smell of medicine." He emphasized the word "extra".

Hua Yuanzhao used the excuse of drinking water to block him and secretly rolled his eyes at Rong Xiu.

childish!

She and Mr. Gongsun had only exchanged a few words on medical techniques, why did this idiot take such a big deal?

Gongsun Li glanced at the two men, smiled faintly, stood up and said goodbye, and said politely: "Since Dr. Hua has already had a solution for seasickness, I will not stay any longer."

After a slight pause, he looked at Rong Xiu meaningfully. He smiled and said, "After all, this is Doctor Hua's boudoir. I am just an outsider and should not enter."

Rong Xiu's expression, which had just improved, turned awkward again! Wasn't this just saying that he, a foreigner, shouldn't stay any longer?

Gongsun Li saw Rong Xiu's expression change and felt that his goal had been achieved. He said a few more words of concern to Hua Yuanzhao before slowly retreating.

Hua Yuanzhao took a sip of the lemonade and watched Gongsun Li leave thoughtfully. When he first met her, he thought she was a handsome and kind person, but he didn't expect she was also a black person!

In the capital, in the palace.

Gu Ci leisurely put down the letter in his hand, his eyes cast into the air, and he sighed after a long while.

"Are you going to do it tonight?" Gu Ci shook his head regretfully, and said with some emotion: "Hua Yuanzhao, Hua Yuanzhao, why is your life so bad that you have to be involved in these things."

After all, whether it was the poison hidden in the small Buddhist temple or the emperor was poisoned, what did it have to do with her as a woman in the harem?

Now that Miss Hua is involved in these disputes, how can things be resolved peacefully?

Gu Ci sighed again and said carefully: "The whereabouts of Tui Bei Tu is still unknown, she must not die."

"Master, don't worry. With Shenxing taking care of her, Miss Hua will never die." Jinyan replied with his head down.

Over the years, Shen Xing followed his master's orders and traveled around the country under the pretext of studying medicine, just to find the Tuibei Tu.

In terms of adaptability, Shen Xing is far superior to him. I think with Shen Xing's interference, Miss Hua should be able to make her master's wish come true, right?

"Master, are we really going to... kill all the remaining people?" Jin Yan hesitated: "What if the Third Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion start a fight..."

Putting aside other things, there were Princess Changle and the Rong brothers and sisters on the ship. If these three people died, how could the Third Prince and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion let it go?

Gu Ci couldn't help but sneer. Since he had set up this trap, he never thought that anyone would be able to come back alive with the antidote to save his good brother!

"Isn't that just right?" Gu Ci asked casually, "If we don't give Miss Hua some motivation, how can she be obedient?"

Now, Hua Yuanzhao's only reliance in the capital is the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and Princess Changle.

If her retreat was not cut off, how could she obediently leave the capital to look for the Tuibei Tu?
