Because of his busy schedule and his anxiety about Shen Qingning's safety, Master Lingyin hadn't rested for the past two days, and he looked extremely disheveled and haggard.
Hearing this, he gave a wry smile. "I had no intention of opposing Your Highness, it was just my unworthy disciple's obsession with you. Fine, release my disciple and I will immediately give you the antidote formula for Fumanluo."
Gu Linchao said, "Let me see your sincerity first."
Master Lingyin hesitated for a moment, "How do I know that after you get the antidote, you won't change your mind and refuse to release the person?"
Gu Linchao said with some disdain, "Your disciple is a treasure to the Taoist priest, but to me, he is nothing but a piece of trash, and he will only waste the royal family's food. What use is he to me?"
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest Lingyin choked for a moment.
Indeed, Qing Ning's role is simply to help him obtain the antidote. He didn't even want Qing Ning when she was offered to him before, let alone now.
Only his foolish apprentice would think he could win someone's heart.
That's so stupid.
He sighed inwardly and said, "I believe that with Your Highness's character, you would not make things difficult for this unworthy disciple. I will give you the prescription now, and I hope that Your Highness will keep your promise and release the man as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, as long as the prescription you provide is correct, I will release the person," Gu Linchao said.
Upon hearing this, Master Lingyin did not hesitate any longer and took out a prescription from his bosom.
Physician Lin, who was waiting nearby, quickly stepped forward to take it.
"Once I've examined your prescription and found it to be effective, I will release Miss Shen. In the meantime, Miss Shen will have to remain in the manor," Gu Linchao said calmly.
Master Lingyin had no choice but to passively accept it.
"I hope Your Highness will keep your word."
"Master Lingyin, please." Butler Wang stepped forward, his intention to dismiss the guest obvious.
Master Lingyin had no choice but to follow him outside.
After everyone left, Gu Linchao instructed Physician Lin, "I'll leave the matter of the prescription to you to examine."
"Your Highness, rest assured, even if I have to stay up all night, I will verify this prescription thoroughly," said Physician Lin, holding the prescription with great excitement.
The antidote to the Flomanro that had plagued him for months was now in his hands. How could he not be excited?
"No need to rush, Physician Lin can examine me at his own pace," Gu Linchao said gently.
"Then this old minister will take his leave first," said Physician Lin.
"good."
After Physician Lin left, Gu Linchao stood up and called Wang Houde, "Prepare the carriage."
Wang Houde understood immediately and said with a smile, "Is Your Highness going to fetch the Princess back?"
"Mm." Gu Linchao's lips curved slightly.
It's been so many days since I last saw her. I wonder how Nong Nong is doing at the villa? Has her morning sickness eased? Is she eating well?
Thinking about all this, he couldn't wait to see her.
...
This is the villa.
Wen Nongnong followed Wen Tingyun to catch fish in the stream behind the mountain.
Although it's already autumn, it's still very hot during the day.
She then followed Wen Tingyun to the back mountain to catch fish.
The stream water was cool, and it felt very comfortable to wade in it with my feet.
Although Wen Tingyun did not stop her, he had Bai Li stay by her side to protect her at all times.
Although Wen Nongnong was playful, she still remembered that she was pregnant and was very careful.
She took the bamboo fork that Wen Tingyun had whittled for her and followed behind him, spearing fish.
Seeing that Wen Tingyun was hitting the target almost every time, she became a little anxious because she hadn't caught a single fish yet.
However, she was not discouraged and kept her eyes fixed on the fish in the water.
After waiting for a long time, she finally saw a fish swim by and quickly stuck the fork in her hand into the water.
She paused for a moment, then felt the bamboo fork was quite heavy. She quickly lifted it up and saw that a fish was indeed stuck in the tip of the fork.
"I speared a fish!" she exclaimed in surprise.
Bai Li quickly stepped forward, took the fish off her shoulder, and threw it into her basket.
Wen Tingyun turned around and said with some disdain, "I've already gotten so many, and you've only gotten one. What's there to brag about?"
Wen Nongnong said matter-of-factly, "I'm pregnant. How dare you compare yourself to a pregnant woman?"
Just as Wen Tingyun was about to speak, she suddenly heard a deep voice from the shore, "So you still remember that you are pregnant."
The three people in the water were startled and looked towards the shore.
When they saw the people standing on the shore, the three of them changed their expressions.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
Realizing what was happening, Wen Tingyun and Bai Li bowed in turn.
Wen Nongnong came to her senses, thought to herself that she was in trouble, rolled her eyes, and then walked towards the shore as if nothing had happened.
"I calculated the time and figured the prince would be coming to pick me up around today, so I asked my second brother to take me fishing in the water. I was planning to cook fish soup for you myself when the prince arrives."
I was right. Your Highness, you really have arrived today.
At this point, she stretched out her hands to the man on the shore, "Your Highness, please pull me up."
Gu Linchao knew she was trying to coax him, but hearing her sweet and soft tone, he lost his temper once again.
He silently bent down, took her hand, and with a slight effort, pulled her up.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment while I put on my shoes and socks," Wen Nongnong said sweetly as she came up.
Gu Linchao swallowed the words of reprimand that were about to come out of his mouth and nodded, "Okay."
Wen Tingyun and Bai Li, still standing in the stream: "..."
Why is it different from what they thought?
The prince didn't reprimand Nong Nong?
Just a moment ago, it looked like a storm was brewing.
