The old butler looked at Tong Le, who was just a little strong, and after hesitating for a while, he agreed.
"Then please come with me, young lady."
Tong Leren pinched his throat and chuckled as he agreed.
On the way, he began to use his chattering skills to chat with the old butler about all sorts of things.
Although the topic was quite meaningless, the old butler did not suspect anything.
And he also extracted useful clues from these words.
For example, County Magistrate Li is usually very busy, but because of Miss Li's matter, he has been staying at home recently.
As for Tan Manxing, she and the others left, closed the door, took out paper and pen, and began to write down the recipe for the medicinal bath.
The medicinal ingredients used to make "Yang Du" are rare, and one of them is even found deep in the humid forests of the Western Regions.
Could this poison have been administered by the Red-Faced Man?
Tan Manxing was thinking while writing the prescription.
About a quarter of an hour later, Tong Le came back carrying a pile of food.
"Thanks to you guys, I can get so many delicious foods for free."
When Tong Le Ren was the only one left, he stopped pretending to be a younger brother and picked up the chicken leg and started to eat it.
Seeing him eating so happily, Tan Manxing took a silver needle with evil intentions and inserted it into his mouth one by one.
“!!! It’s also poisonous!”
He looked at Tan Manxing's actions, his eyes widened in shock, feeling the meat in his mouth, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
After a brief poke, Tan Manxing looked at Tong Leren's nervous expression, suppressed the smile in his eyes, and spoke calmly to stop his hesitation.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
Tong Leren realized that Tan Manxing was playing tricks on him and glared at him in dissatisfaction.
He silently decided that both chicken legs were his!
"Pick two guards who are easy to attack. I'll notify Tan Zhi and the others to come in a few days."
Tan Manxing ignored his gaze, put the paper away, picked up the pastries on the table and started eating.
This disease allows them to stay here with a clear conscience.
They couldn't bring up these issues until they were sure whether the red-faced man had any connection with County Magistrate Li.
The two had almost finished their meal when there was a knock on the door.
Tan Manxing opened the door and looked at County Magistrate Li, knowing in his heart that they agreed to the treatment.
"Here's the prescription. Prepare it today so we can start the first day of treatment tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Doctor Man, Old Chen, you will personally monitor it."
County Magistrate Li respectfully took the paper and handed it to the old housekeeper beside him.
"Master Li, I have something to ask you about this disease."
Tan Manxing said again.
After hearing this, County Magistrate Li hesitated for a moment and took Tan Manxing to the study.
"Doctor Man, just ask whatever you want."
"Since Lord Li is so decisive, I won't hide it. I showed up because I wanted to make money and because I was curious about what the disease was. I've consulted many doctors in the city but couldn't cure it."
She silently unfolded the speech she had prepared.
"This poison is hard to come by in the Central Plains. Lord Li is just a county magistrate in a small place. His enemies don't have the ability to do this, right?"
She held Li Yue's life in her hands, so even though the question was a bit tricky, County Magistrate Li still answered it.
"Alas, my daughter has a weak body. She has been raised in the courtyard since she was a child and rarely goes out. Half a month ago, I took her to the nearby Ling'an Temple to pray for blessings. On the way, we encountered a group of assassins. They were coming for me. Yue'er is like this because of me."
"If I hadn't gone with her that day, maybe she would have been fine."
When County Magistrate Li talked about this incident, he still felt regretful and self-blaming.
Tan Manxing tapped the back of his hand quietly, waiting for him to calm down and continue.
Whether it's true or false, things can't end like this.
As expected, County Magistrate Li calmed down and continued speaking.
"The guards arrived just in time, and the assassins, realizing they couldn't escape, bit their tongues and committed suicide."
"I searched them and found that they were assassins."
Death warriors? It's not easy to train them.
What's more, although County Magistrate Li seemed to have said a lot, the questions she asked were not answered, and the conversation seemed irrelevant.
"Does Lord Li have any suspects?"
She looked at County Magistrate Li who was silent and asked.
The silent County Magistrate Li didn't know what he was thinking about, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his eyes.
But he just shook his head.
"Not yet. Doctor Man, just focus on treating the patient. I can still guarantee the safety of the mansion."
"Um."
Tan Manxing knew that he didn't want to talk anymore, so he left while he was ahead.
The next day.
After collecting all the herbs, she boiled a pot of deep green bath soup indoors.
"Please help Miss Li in."
She tested the water temperature with her hand, confirmed that it was suitable, and then gave instructions to the maid beside her.
The two maids bent down and walked away quickly, and soon carried the weak Li Yue over.
Only after she had soaked naked in the bath did Tan Manxing come out from behind the screen.
At this time, there were only two of them left in the house.
She took out a white handkerchief and handed it to Li Yueer.
"This is?"
Li Yue'er looked up at the Miao woman in front of her with some confusion.
"Ms. Li, it will hurt a lot later, just bite it."
Tan Manxing explained calmly.
"Okay, doctor, just call me by my name."
Although she is a rich lady, she does not have an arrogant and domineering personality. Instead, she is very gentle and amiable.
After she finished speaking, she took the handkerchief and put it in her mouth.
Tan Manxing nodded. She actually didn't like to address others with respect all the time.
After washing her hands, she stood behind Li Yueer, took out some silver and started to acupressure on her back.
"Li Yue'er, keep this position and don't move."
Li Yueer nodded and silently pressed the edge of the bathtub without saying a word.
Seeing that she was ready, Tan Manxing moved his fingers, held his breath, and began to insert the needle.
Time passed by minute by minute, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead where the needles were inserted. Li Yue'er's back was also covered with silver needles, which were so densely packed that it looked very painful.
