Doctor Gu's stubborn temper flared up again. He thought that Cen's mother and the others had obtained the antidote and were being extremely secretive about it, afraid of causing trouble if they couldn't keep their mouths shut. But who was he? He was the one who prepared Cen's mother's antidote! Why shouldn't they let him see it?
He Yi listened to their conversation from the side, still feeling the lingering effects of the illness. She looked up at the group of people again.
The Relief Poison is a royal secret poison, usually used on members of the royal family. She had only heard of it, never seen it, let alone the poison itself. She had hardly ever even met anyone connected to the royal family.
Relieve worries, relieve worries, whose worries are you relieving? The worries of the most noble people in the world.
That was beyond her current thinking. She tightened her grip on the little bundle of joy, thinking...
"Son, we didn't hear anything! What 'residual poison'? We might hear it today, but we'll forget it tomorrow."
The little girl, unaware of what her mother was thinking, was listening intently with her ears perked up. She knew that if she had to say what she ate, it would be the half-cup of water that her second sister had fed her yesterday, but none of them believed her, so she kept quiet and continued to listen to Doctor Gu's tantrum.
Zhao Kai and Doctor Gu always bickered.
"No! Really, no! It doesn't matter if you don't leave! You can stay here if you want!"
Gu Shilin had always disliked Zhao Kai, thinking that the kid was cunning and ruthless! Zhao Kai also thought that the old man was stubborn. When he asked him to prepare an antidote for Cen'er, he had already found the ingredients, but just because the two of them came from the palace, he refused to prepare it. Later, he had to take out a letter written by his apprentice before the old man finally agreed.
"Dr. Gu, we really don't know what kind of detoxifying herbs there are. Please don't be angry. Maybe they were mixed in with the vegetables in Old Zhang's backyard and we didn't find them. We just cooked them today, and they made us girls have stomach aches all afternoon. How about this, we'll look for them in the building, and once we find out what they are, we'll rush over to you to take a look, okay?" Mother Cen quickly said some soft words to coax the old doctor. Her life and fortune were in his hands, so she had to coax him properly.
"That's more like it. Miss Cen Ang is much more sensible."
"I dare not accept such praise."
Cen's mother stood up, because she was feeling aroused again, and hurriedly said...
"Dr. Gu, you've worked hard. Please take a look at the young lady in this building. Excuse me, I must take my leave now."
Doctor Gu nodded and wrote down several prescriptions for strengthening the body and nourishing vital energy, tailored to different constitutions.
At this moment, Ping'er ran down, bowed to He Yi, and said...
"Madam He, is anyone home? If not, would you mind coming to our house for a chat?"
Ping'er just went to the front yard and saw that all the outhouses were occupied. Her daughter's stomach started hurting again. There was no other way. Seeing He Yi downstairs, she had to swallow her pride and ask her what was wrong. She couldn't just leave her daughter alone. It would be too undignified to just throw a basin or something like that around.
He Yi understood what Ping'er meant and nodded.
"Come home with me quickly!"
She looked at her daughter in her arms again and said
"Long'er, would you like to go home with your mother?"
The little girl nodded vigorously and answered.
"good!"
She looked at Zhao Kai, and Zhao Kai immediately understood that the little girl meant that Cen's mother would come out and tell her that she was going to stay at her mother's house for a while and would be back in a little while.
