"Haha, as expected of the Ono family heir. Head of the Ono family, I am truly happy for you to have such a fine son." Tokuyoshi Shingo was very satisfied with Ono Akuro's performance.
"In that case, please have the head of the Ono family treat the general's illness. If the general recovers soon, the head of the Ono family can also treat Ono Waka-kun sooner."
Yuuki Ono closed his eyes tightly, loosened his clenched fists, suppressed his anger, and said in a pained voice, "Yes!"
Having gained experience from the previous two detoxifications, Ono Yuki was quite adept at detoxifying Tokuyoshi Yasuhito.
After Deyi Kangren's high fever subsided, the black spots on his body began to gradually disappear.
"My lord, the poison in the general's body will be completely removed tomorrow. It's normal for the general to be a little weak after the poison has been removed. I will prescribe some tonics for the general to take so that he can recover as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Ono. Once the general has fully recovered, you can treat Ono Waka-kun. With your medical skills, it will be no problem."
Tokugi Shingo's words were also a way of telling Ono Yuuki that he could not detoxify his son until the general had fully recovered.
"Yes!" What else could Yuuki Ono say but agree?
When he was alone with his son, Yuki Ono told him everything.
He had been urgently summoned by the shogunate and hadn't had time to explain things to his family.
Later, when he was left in the shogunate, it was someone from the shogunate who went to his home to inform him.
After hearing his father's account, Ono Akuro finally learned the truth.
Ono Akuro didn't seem to care much about Tokugi Shingo making him drink poison.
His father told him from a young age that he must be extremely careful when dealing with people in high positions of power.
Those in positions of power are often suspicious. In their eyes, only their own lives matter, while the lives of others are worthless.
This is why Ono Kenshin was not allowed to serve as an official in the imperial court.
Physicians who enter government service may succumb to temptations and lose their original medical ethics.
Even if you can stay true to yourself, you will still encounter all sorts of things that are beyond your control, and you may bring disaster to yourself and your family if you are not careful.
It would be better to stay at the pharmacy and be a pure healer, giving people peace of mind.
Even so, those in power still didn't let them off the hook.
"Kakuro, it's all your father's fault for not protecting you." Ono Yuuki looked remorseful.
He dragged his son into this mess.
Ono Akuro quickly comforted him, "Father, how can this be your fault? Blame Tokugi Shingo for being inhuman!"
"Father, it's alright. You have the antidote. Once the general recovers, you can detoxify me."
This poison won't kill anyone in the short term anyway.
Compared to his own poisoning, Ono Akuro was more concerned about something else.
"Father, do you know who developed this poison and its antidote?"
The father and he spent nearly a year but still couldn't find an antidote, which clearly showed that the person who developed these medicines was far more skilled than them.
Yuuki Ono shook his head. "I don't know. The Boss didn't tell me about those things."
"Father, do you think it might have been done by that Princess Consort of Great Chu?"
Ono Akuro recalled how Su Ruojin and Yanluo had saved the little girl's grandfather, and how they had performed acupuncture on the general before. He felt that this matter was related to them.
Yuuki Ono understood what his son meant and nodded. "It's possible. If it weren't for them, we would definitely know that there are such skilled doctors in Yamato."
Ono Pharmacy is considered one of the top pharmacies in Yamato, and many doctors in Yamato consider it an honor to work there.
If a miracle doctor were to appear in Yamato, Ono Pharmacy would definitely know about it and try to recruit him into their business.
Ono Akutagawa was silent for a moment after hearing this, then seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Father, I have a request, and I hope you can grant it."
"Kakuro, just say what's on your mind." Seeing his son's serious expression, Ono Yuuki guessed that what he was about to say was no small matter.
"Father, I wish to become the disciple of the Princess Consort of Great Chu."
When Ono Akuro said this, Ono Yuuki was stunned. He never expected his son to have this idea.
