“Ghost, ghost—”
The palace maid screamed at the top of her lungs and tried to run away regardless of her injuries.
Hua Yuanzhao was quick to push the person back and gave her an injection of sedative.
Rong Xiu, who was guarding outside, heard the noise and rushed in. Seeing her violent behavior, his Adam's apple rolled involuntarily and his mouth became slightly dry.
"This is?"
"There's a problem with the antidote, and the dosage of the Qionghua needs to be adjusted." Hua Yuanzhao looked at the palace maid who was knocked down by her with a sour face, and his words were full of unwillingness.
She still knew too little. It was just an antidote, and she hadn't been able to come up with one after spending so much time trying to make one!
"It's okay, take your time." Rong Xiu comforted him, "It's no problem for us to hide here for ten days or half a month."
Hua Yuanzhao glanced at him, nodded helplessly, but still couldn't help sighing.
"I can hide here, and those crazy people don't know what to do."
Rong Xiu looked Hua Yuanzhao up and down, and suddenly said nonchalantly: "What's the matter? Miss Hua, are you tired of being a doctor and planning to change your career to become a Bodhisattva?"
Hua Yuanzhao was choked by him and felt confused.
"You're a clay Buddha. You can't even protect yourself. Why are you still worrying about this?" Rong Xiu saw that she wanted to scold him, so he added slowly, "Except for Lin'an, those crazy ladies are all close friends of Princess Changle."
"With Princess Changle protecting them, their family won't dare neglect them for a while." Rong Xiu looked at her with a half-smile: "Are you relieved now?"
Hua Yuanzhao looked at him awkwardly and nodded reluctantly.
Didn't she think that group of people would also be killed because she saw that the palace maid he brought back was so badly injured?
"This maid is from the Empress Dowager's palace. She was probably treated as an assassin because she bumped into the Empress Dowager when she was mad." Rong Xiu hugged his arms and pursed his lips: "There was a commotion in the Empress Dowager's palace yesterday. Several palace maids died. The Empress Dowager was also frightened. I guess she is still bedridden now..."
He had very few serious words to say. After saying these two sentences, he said with a playful smile: "I should have known not to bring you out. If you were summoned to see the Queen Mother, you might have been able to get close to her by now!"
Hua Yuanzhao was relieved by his commotion, but was soon followed by a feeling of fatigue.
She just wanted to have a good sleep now, so she didn't want to argue with him. She just rolled her eyes and asked, "Yeah, how are you going to compensate me?"
Rong Xiu touched his nose and said, "How about I give you a bowl of fish soup as compensation?"
He complained about the fishy smell of the fish soup yesterday and said he would cook it again for her today. Hua Yuanzhao thought he was just joking, but he never thought he could actually do what he said.
The fish soup in the bamboo tube had been cooked and was being kept warm by the fire, on which a fat, greasy rabbit was being roasted.
Rong Xiu handed her a bamboo tube and said proudly, "Would you like to try my cooking skills?"
Hua Yuanzhao thanked him and gulped down the drink without even taking a breath.
Rong Xiu's mouth curled slightly, and he was quite proud. He reached out and wiped the soup from the corner of Hua Yuanzhao's mouth, and said with a low smile: "Why are you drinking it so quickly? Is it so delicious?"
Hua Yuanzhao avoided his hand and looked at him weakly. At this moment, let alone giving her a tube of fish soup, she could even drink a bottle of glucose.
Fuling looked at Rongxiu warily, and silently pulled Hua Yuanzhao towards her.
Miss, hold on! You must not be deceived by this rogue!
"Mr. Rong, respect yourself!"
Don't touch my lady!!!
Rong Xiu looked at the angry Fuling with amusement and said teasingly, "You little girl, your mistress didn't say anything, what are you doing jumping up and down here?"
Hua Yuanzhao leaned on Fuling's shoulder, squinted his eyes, took out the scalpel, and gestured in the direction of Rongxiu.
"I'm too lazy to talk."
If you take advantage of me again, I’ll ruin you!
Rong Xiu quickly cut off the rabbit's leg and offered it to him: "I was wrong, Godly Doctor, spare my life!"
"Sir." Shihu flew down from the forest and said in a low voice, "Someone came up from the mountain with a dog, dressed as a hunter."
Rong Xiu frowned slightly: "How many people?"
"Three."
"Could it be the hunters at the foot of the mountain?" Hua Yuanzhao asked with interest.
Rong Xiu shook his head: "This place is close to the Huguo Temple, which belongs to the royal family. Hunting is strictly prohibited."
Shihu nodded in agreement. Even if there were villagers from the mountain who wanted to poach, they would sneak in alone. How could they come in groups?
"But if they are here to arrest the young lady, can't we just send the soldiers?" Fuling asked weakly, looking at the rabbit on the fire with some concern.
Hunting is strictly prohibited here, so does it count as disrespectful to gods and Buddhas if they kill the rabbits?
"It's someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion." A cold light flashed in Rong Xiu's eyes.
"You mean..." Shihu thought about what he heard last night and suddenly realized.
"What?" Fuling was so anxious that she was about to cry. What were these two people talking about here?
"The Prime Minister's Office only sent three people... They want to kill me. No, they want me to go out crazy so that the Prime Minister's Office can distance itself from the matter!" Hua Yuanzhao figured out the whole thing in an instant.
This dirty job needs to be done in secret, so only three people were sent!
Shihu had been waiting for Rongxiu to make a decision, but when he suddenly heard these words, he looked at Hua Yuanzhao with admiration in his eyes.
How on earth did this person guess it based on just two sentences?
"Miss Hua, is it resolved?" Shihu asked her bluntly.
Anyway, the young master listens to Miss Hua, so why does he have to go around in circles?
Rong Xiu rolled his eyes unhappily: "Who do you belong to?"
After asking, he said to Hua Yuanzhao seriously: "Do you want me to send someone to solve it?"
