The three arrived at Tonghe Pharmacy, but the main door was closed, so they had to enter through the back door.
Mu Chenshuang told the two to wait outside the door.
Shen Nanzhi was worried, but Mu Chenshuang insisted that he didn't need to come along, so Shen Nanzhi could only wait at the door with Qi Ye.
Upon hearing the knock, the young apprentice hurriedly opened the door.
Before Mu Chenshuang even stepped inside, she heard Lu Wei's voice say, "Doctor Li, my daughter took your medicine, but her face not only didn't get better, the scars didn't fade, but it got even worse. Aren't you afraid of damaging the reputation of the Divine Doctor Sect with your actions?"
Doctor Li's expression was grave. He had just examined Mu Yazhi's condition and it was clear that the problem wasn't with the medication he had given her, but rather that Mu Yazhi had ingested a poison that would worsen her scars.
Although he has a way to detoxify, he must use the plum blossom needle technique he learned from the Divine Physician Sect.
He might not care about ordinary people, as saving lives is the priority, but he dared not act rashly in the face of Madam Lu. Moreover, Madam Lu had a grudge against the princess, and Miss Mu's facial injury was caused by using one less ingredient in the medicine as instructed by the princess. If it was for detoxification, it could completely heal her facial injury.
Therefore, he is hesitant to make a decision now.
“Madam Lu, there is nothing wrong with my medicine. You are welcome to verify it.”
Lu Wei stared intently at Doctor Li and pressed, "If the medicine is fine, why isn't my daughter's face getting better? In fact, her condition is worsening."
"It's because the Third Miss ate something she shouldn't have."
"What did she eat? I'd like to trouble you, Dr. Li, to treat my daughter as soon as possible. This is about my daughter's lifelong happiness," Lu Wei pressed.
Dr. Li ultimately dared not take the risk, and Lu Wei carefully observed Dr. Li's expression and demeanor.
Just as Dr. Li was about to politely decline, a voice came from outside the door.
“Aunt Lu, you really can’t stay idle. You’re already causing trouble on the first day of the Lunar New Year. So many things to do at the start of the year. Aren’t you afraid of being plagued by bad luck next year?”
Mu Chenshuang walked into the lobby.
Lu Wei turned her head to look at Mu Chenshuang. Hearing her words, her brows furrowed, and a flash of hatred appeared deep in her eyes.
"Shuang'er, you're quite well-informed. You rushed over so quickly. Are you in a hurry to check on your sister's condition?" Lu Wei asked sarcastically.
Mu Chenshuang stopped and glanced at Mu Yazhi, who was wearing a bamboo hat and veil. She couldn't tell what her face looked like under the hat.
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze and confronted Lu Wei, "I naturally have no doubt about Doctor Li's medical skills, so there's no need for anyone to worry about that. What I'm afraid of is that some people are deliberately trying to cause trouble."
Lu Wei smiled and said, "I didn't cause any trouble for Doctor Li. Since it's not a problem with Doctor Li's medicine, what's wrong with letting him take another look at Ya'er's face? My daughter is too ashamed to show her face now, how can a mother have the mind to celebrate the New Year?"
Mu Chenshuang stared at Lu Wei, then looked at Doctor Li and asked, "Doctor Li, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Dr. Li seemed much more relaxed after Mu Chenshuang arrived.
Doctor Li replied, "The Third Miss must have accidentally ingested Qiluo Powder, which caused a conflict with the medicine I prepared, thus worsening the injury on her face."
"If it can be cured, then it should be cured, so as not to make people uneasy on the first day of the Lunar New Year. If it cannot be completely cured, Dr. Li can also prescribe some medicine."
Doctor Li understood the meaning behind Mu Chenshuang's words; she clearly wanted him to prescribe some medicine, something he had considered doing earlier.
However, the poison Mu Yazhi was afflicted with was unusual. This kind of toxin could not be suppressed or cleared by ordinary medicines. If it could not be cured, he was afraid that Madam Lu would come to cause trouble every few days, and his small pharmacy could not withstand it. If he wanted to cure her, the only thing he knew was to use plum blossom needles to detoxify her.
However, since Princess Weiyang has said so, he will prescribe a few doses of medicine.
"I can only prescribe some medicine for now, but the medicine I prescribed before can no longer be taken."
Mu Chenshuang looked at Doctor Li and said, "In that case, Doctor Li, please prescribe the medicine to avoid any unpleasantness today."
"Alright then."
Li Da turned around and went to the front hall to get the medicine.
Lu Wei stared intently at Doctor Li's departing figure, then looked at Mu Chenshuang and said in a teasing tone, "It seems that Doctor Li and you, Shuang'er, have a really special relationship. No matter what I said, Doctor Li refused to prescribe medicine, but as soon as you came, he agreed to prescribe it. If I didn't know better, I would think that you are the owner of this pharmacy."
Mu Chenshuang sat on a stool to the side, raising an eyebrow as she confronted Lu Wei. "Who knows if you, Aunt Lu, are deliberately here to cause trouble? Doctor Li naturally wouldn't dare to prescribe medicine lightly, after all, a normal person wouldn't take poison indiscriminately."
As she spoke, she propped her chin up with one hand, leaned back, and looked at Mu Yazhi with a hint of mockery in her eyes. She said, "Mu Yazhi, do you think your face isn't bad enough? You dare to eat anything. Are you doing it on purpose or do you really have no brains?"
A blatant mockery.
Mu Yazhi glared angrily at Mu Chenshuang, her fists clenched, "You..."
Lu Wei's face was gloomy.
Dr. Li quickly prescribed the medicine.
Lu Wei didn't press the matter further, took the medicine, and left with Mu Yazhi.
