Inside the side room, Jiang Mingwei fiddled with something for a while.
The drug that was originally being considered was discarded, and another drug was added in a larger dose and then combined again.
An hour later, she smiled with satisfaction; she had finally succeeded!
She had considered Li Yihuan too much; she didn't want to harm her body, but she also hoped that the medicine she concocted could suppress her condition to the greatest extent possible.
Therefore, the research has stalled for the past few days.
Right now, we need to decide what to discard and what to keep. Although the efficacy may be somewhat different from what we previously imagined, it is the most effective medicine that we can currently prepare!
Next, as long as the shopkeeper can find the few medicinal herbs she needs, she can treat the poison in Li Yihuan's body.
But who exactly poisoned it?
She remembered Li Yihuan telling her that they were looking for Dr. Chen, who practiced medicine at the Holy Doctor's Hall.
However, Dr. Chen did not diagnose any signs of poisoning in her, while Jiang Mingwei did.
Therefore, there are only two possible outcomes—
Either Dr. Chen is a fame-seeking individual who simply didn't notice anything unusual about Li Yihuan's body.
This poison must be inextricably linked to him...
At this moment, Jiang Mingwei even began to suspect that Li Yihuan's first miscarriage was not an accident.
According to the original owner's memories, Doctor Chen had already begun treating her at that time, but Jiang Mingwei did not witness it.
Therefore, I am not very familiar with this Dr. Chen.
Could it be that Dr. Chen secretly did something to cause her to lose the baby as soon as she fell?
Of course, this was just Jiang Mingwei's conjecture and could not be taken as actual evidence, so she did not intend to spread it around.
Besides, there should be no enmity between Doctor Chen and Li Yihuan, so there's no reason for him to poison her.
Therefore, she was more inclined to believe that this Doctor Chen was incompetent and had no idea that Li Yihuan had been poisoned.
In short, this matter reveals far too many strange things...
Her relationship with Jiang Mingjin was not good, so it was impossible to speculate.
After preparing the antidote, Jiang Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the room.
Hua Cui sat at the door and waited for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Mingwei walk out, he immediately stopped dozing off and went to greet her.
"Miss, you're finally out! If you hadn't come out soon, Hua Cui would have been worried that something had happened inside! Why were you so agitated earlier, Miss?"
"It's nothing, I just had a sudden realization while talking to you, Hana! If I don't take advantage of this burst of inspiration and do what I want to do, I'll probably forget it when I calm down."
"Putting everything else aside, Hana Sumi, you're truly my lucky star!"
Jiang Mingwei sighed and pinched Hua Cui's little face.
Hua Cui was slightly taken aback, then gave an embarrassed, awkward smile.
"Really, Miss? Hana Sue is almost embarrassed!"
Unfortunately, she didn't get to hear her young mistress's confirmation again, because Jiang Mingwei didn't hear it at all and stretched as she walked towards the bedroom.
He yawned as he walked, and didn't forget to give Hua Cui some instructions.
"Ugh, I'm exhausted, but it's finally done! Now I'll see if that bastard Jiang Mingjin comes begging to me."
"I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when there's food!"
After saying that, he yawned and went inside to sleep.
Exhausted, Jiang Mingwei fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
I was just drifting off to sleep when I suddenly felt my body shaking uncontrollably, so I turned over and continued sleeping.
But the shaking became more and more intense, and she vaguely felt that it was an earthquake.
"Earthquake! Run!"
Startled awake, Jiang Mingwei turned and ran outside.
But when she met Hua Cui's gaze, she was stunned.
Looking around, not even the tassels by the bed curtains had moved. Where did the earthquake come from?
So just now, was it Hua Cui who woke her up by pushing her with her hand?
Jiang Mingwei felt both frightened and helpless. She patted her chest and muttered pitifully.
"Hey, my dear flower extract, can you please stop scaring your young lady like that? Why do you keep pushing me? Can't you just wake me up already?!"
"I called you, Miss, but you were sleeping too soundly. You've only slept for half an hour, how could you be sleeping so deeply? I couldn't wake you no matter how I called you, so I had to push you away."
Hua Cui blinked and spoke with an innocent expression.
Jiang Mingwei rolled her eyes. It had only been half an hour. She had originally planned to sleep for an hour and a half!
With a wail, she collapsed back onto the bed, sobbing, "Hua Cui, I'm so tired, can I sleep a little longer?"
"If you've made something, can I eat it later?"
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Hua Cui shook her head and refused her request without hesitation.
Just as Jiang Mingwei was about to ask why, Hua Cui pointed outside.
"Miss, we have a distinguished guest, it is the Duchess of Huaiguo!"
Jiang Mingwei shuddered and immediately sat up in bed, staring at Hua Cui with wide eyes.
"Wait, who did you say?"
Hua Cui thought her young mistress was still half asleep, so she repeated the sentence.
"It's the Duchess of Huaiguo, Miss. You heard me right. She came with the Grand Duchess's waist token and said she wanted to see you!"
Now, Jiang Mingwei was completely awake.
Unlike his elder brother and father, who were officials, the Duke of Huai already possessed a noble title. The official position was merely icing on the cake, naturally leading to prosperity.
Noble families like theirs have always looked down on those from humble backgrounds. Even on the day of their housewarming banquet, the Duke of Huai and his wife only sent a congratulatory gift; they did not attend, as it was truly unnecessary.
As for the Grand Prince and the Prince, they had no choice but to attend due to their royal status.
These two are fundamentally different.
Therefore, Jiang Mingwei found it hard to imagine why the Duchess of Huaiguo would suddenly come to see her, especially since she was carrying a princess's waist token...
How long has she been here?
"It's been about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, so I hurried over to call for Miss! She seemed very anxious. As soon as she arrived, she declared that she wanted to see Miss. Even when the Old Madam sent Granny Wang to greet her, she barely paid any attention to her!"
"Miss, you should go and see if Her Highness the Princess has something she wants to tell you through the Duchess of Huaiguo?"
After thinking it over, Jiang Mingwei felt that this might be the reason.
But didn't the princess just write her a letter today? Why would she send the Duchess again?
Without a second thought, she quickly dressed and came to the hall.
The Duchess of Huaiguo was drinking tea. She had a graceful and noble demeanor and was about forty years old. She was well-maintained, and the years had not left any trace on her face.
Although her makeup and attire were not outstanding, they were still exceptionally dignified and greatly reflected her status.
"This humble servant greets the Lady of the Duke of Huai."
The Duchess was no ordinary woman; she held an imperial title and a first-rank official position, deserving of respect from others.
Upon seeing Jiang Mingwei, he was overjoyed and quickly reached out to help her up.
"Madam Wei, please rise!"
