Chapter 74 The Gift
How come my cousin's attitude changed along with my attitude just because I changed my attitude?
"Wenxuan, your sister is still sick, don't be silly."
Madam Ji glared at her grinning son, and Ji Wenxuan reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"Madam, Physician Hu has arrived."
Outside the door, Mingyu hurriedly entered with Physician Hu. Upon seeing Madam Ji, Mingyu first curtsied to her before looking at Gu Shuyan, who was sitting on the bed.
"Physician Hu has arrived. Please, Physician Hu, examine my daughter first."
Lady Ji did not order anyone to summon the imperial physician, but since the physician had already arrived, Lady Ji naturally had no reason to send him back.
Furthermore, she still had doubts about whether the poison in Gu Shuyan's body had been completely eliminated, so she took this opportunity to have Physician Hu take a look, so that she could feel more at ease.
Physician Hu took Gu Shuyan's pulse and examined her. Finding nothing wrong, he left her a room to recuperate and then departed.
"Mother, what happened to your daughter before?"
Gu Shuyan had just woken up and was unaware that she had been poisoned. Seeing everyone's relieved expressions, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji did not hide it from her, but instead repeated what she had said to Madam Ji before.
Gu Shuyan was very surprised when she heard that she had been poisoned by a rare poison from the Western Regions. She remembered that there was no such thing in her previous life. More importantly, she was wondering how the poison was put into her food.
She clearly hadn't eaten anything outside, so how did she get poisoned like this? And who would want her to die?
"Was it Physician Hu who cured my daughter's poison?"
As far as Gu Shuyan knew, the rare poison from the Western Regions had to be administered three days before the poisoner was poisoned, and once the poison took effect, the poisoned person would die within half a day.
But it's obvious she's still alive, which means someone saved her. Gu Shuyan immediately thought of Physician Hu, the person who could cure the strange poison from the Western Regions.
However, the result disappointed her. Ji shook her head and said, "Although Physician Hu suppressed the poison, he did not have a way to detoxify it. The one who can truly detoxify is the heir of the Duke of Anguo."
"The heir of the Duke of Anguo?"
Gu Shuyan couldn't believe it, and Ji Wenxuan obviously couldn't believe it either, so the two of them exclaimed in unison.
They exchanged a glance before Gu Shuyan asked again, "Is Mother sure she didn't make a mistake?"
In her past life, Gu Shuyan learned about the rare poison from the Western Regions through Lu Youming. At that time, the poisoned concubine was a favorite in the palace. The entire Imperial Hospital was helpless, but in the end, it was Physician Hu who cured the concubine.
From then on, Physician Hu also became the top doctor of the Imperial Medical Academy because of this incident.
That's why Gu Shuyan didn't think twice and assumed it was Physician Hu who saved her, but she never expected that it was actually Prince Luo who saved her.
“They stayed out very late last night to save you, and your father specifically asked me to pick out some decent gifts to thank them!”
Ji Shi was unaware of Gu Shuyan's thoughts, assuming that she was just as surprised as she was.
After all, it's unbelievable that the heir of a noble family would know medicine.
“Aunt, Wenxuan bought a lot of unusual things on his way back to the capital. Why don’t we have someone pick out a couple as a thank-you gift?”
Ji Wenxuan had always liked to stick close to his mother since he was a child. When he heard that his mother wanted to give him a presentable gift, he immediately took out a colorful seashell from his pocket.
"Your little gadgets are more suited to your sister's play."
Madam Ji looked at the small seashell in her son's hand with disdain, but Madam Ji liked it very much.
