Chapter 83 Princess Duan's Medicine
Zhou Yuzhi immediately found a suitable reason to fill the blank in his heart, and he completely pulled himself out of the self-blame he had just felt. That's right, it was all Gu Ruanci's fault.
Their Zhou family had clearly invited Xiao Yixian, but because Gu Ruanci returned to Dizhou, Xiao Yixian changed her mind.
"She really should be buried with her grandmother..."
His tone was firm and his eyes were fierce.
Zhou Yuxiu did not refute, he naturally agreed with what Zhou Yuqi had just said.
Seeing their shared hatred for the enemy, Zhou Qinzhu felt proud and decided to retire.
When the statue was finally consecrated and its appearance was admired, Ye Keguan walked in front and Pan followed beside him.
Seeing Madam Zhang's uneasy expression in the coffin, Pan sighed, "Alas, my mother-in-law is worried about her children at home..."
Madam Zhang was extremely aware of all the sounds outside, but just as Gu Ruanci said, she couldn't even move her eyelids.
"Grandma, my mother asked me to see you off for the last time..."
Hearing Lu Enrui's voice, Mrs. Zhang felt even more heartbroken.
Zhou Zhili supported the coffin and kept calling "Mother". Old Madam Zhang was in so much pain that she wanted to die.
Last night's tossing and turning for so long was physical torture, but now this is psychological torture.
No one knew that Madam Zhang was still alive at this moment, and would be able to open her eyes in a few hours.
When the coffin was sealed, Zhou Zhili led the descendants of the Zhou family to kneel on the ground.
Seeing the long nails sinking into the coffin, Zhou Zhili took the lead in shouting the direction to hide from the nails while crying sadly.
"Mother, dodge the nails..."
"Grandma, Zuo Zhidui..."
Old Madam Zhang, lying in the coffin and trapped in endless darkness, felt even more frightened.
The coffin was sealed and there was no chance of her surviving.
The fear of death and the tension of this claustrophobic space have caused her spirit to collapse.
"Arise!"
At the order from the person in charge, Zhou Zhili smashed the clay basin, and the coffin was quickly lifted up by several big men.
On the street, people all went straight to the Zhou family because something happened, so they took the opportunity to see the grand funeral.
Zhou Yuxiu, wearing heavy mourning clothes and holding a banner, walked in front, muttering to himself, "Grandma, follow me to the southwest..."
Behind him was Zhou Zhili, with tears on his face, holding the spirit tablet of Old Madam Zhang. Then came the various male members. Wen Zimei and Ye Lanxin stayed at the gate, crying and shouting as they saw the team off.
Gu Ruanci sat on the rooftop of a nearby restaurant, looking at the rather lively funeral procession below with a relaxed expression.
"Buried alive in glory, it would be a fitting atonement for Madam Zhang's sinful life."
Gu Ruanci said this lightly and threw the melon seed shell away.
"The county lady is in a good mood..."
At some point, Lu Enyan walked in.
"The prince is here..." Gu Ruanci put down the things in her hand and didn't care whether he heard what she said just now.
She had originally made an appointment with Lu Enyan to receive treatment here today.
"With the death of the Zhou family's old lady, it should be easy for the three brothers to put the blame on you."
Although he had never had any dealings with the Zhou family, Lu Enyan was very clear about the behavior of these people in the Zhou family.
Gu Ruanci said as she sorted her medicine box, "It's okay, this is all true. I never thought about getting along with them peacefully after I came back. Even if they didn't cause me any trouble, I didn't want to let them go."
Lu Enyan didn't think that Gu Ruanci's personality was bad, instead he looked at her with admiration.
"If you don't want to let them go, the Ye family should also be on your hunting list, especially the old marquis..."
Gu Ruanci still didn't hesitate: "That's right, but I will try my best to let him live. After all, only if he lives can he hope to see his descendants die one by one in front of him..."
Lu Enyan became even more interested. This woman's calm cruelty came out naturally.
This time the treatment was more pleasant. After Gu Ruanci took out the acupuncture, the excitement in the Zhou family had just ended.
The huge team walked around the city for half a circle before leaving.
Lu Enyan watched Gu Ruanci calmly put away the silver needle, prescribe medicine for herself, take out a packet of medicine from her sleeve and place it in front of her.
"Can you help me take a look at this?"
Gu Ruanci took it and opened it without hesitation.
"Is the food in the mansion for you, or for the princess?"
Gu Ruanci couldn't think of anyone else who could make Lu Enyan care so much.
Lu Enyan was not surprised that she could guess it, and said naturally: "It's my mother's... She has been restless and in poor health over the years. I am increasingly suspicious that it is not just because she is worried about me."
Gu Ruanci was already trying to figure out what was in the package.
After smelling almost every one of them, Gu Ruanci said, "There's nothing wrong with this medicine..."
Lu Enyan seemed a little disappointed: "It turns out that I misunderstood them..."
"What did we wrongly accuse them of? Giving the princess the wrong medicine, causing her illness to become worse?"
Gu Ruanci asked directly, and her expression didn't show that she treated this as a secret that couldn't be told.
"Yes..." Lu Enyan nodded in acknowledgment.
"According to the princess's condition, she should take some medicine to calm the nerves and replenish the blood. There's nothing wrong with this medicine; it's non-toxic and non-dangerous. However, it's of no help to the princess's condition, and the herbs used are ineffective. So if you ask me if there's anything wrong with this medicine, the answer is no. As for whether the person who gave this medicine to the princess had ulterior motives, the answer is yes."
The explanation of Guruanci is simple and easy to understand.
Lu Enyan was silent. He actually overlooked the fact that it was possible to harm others in this way.
"This is the Heavenly King Heart-Nourishing Pill. Take it back and give it to the princess..."
Gu Ruanci took out the medicine that had been prepared long ago and handed it directly to Lu Enyan.
Lu Enyan looked at her cautiously, his tone already filled with understanding: "Is this what you told me before, that you would not only cure me, but also my mother?"
"Since this is a collaboration, I will naturally show my utmost sincerity, and I hope that the prince will not let me down."
Lu Enyan became more and more curious about this woman. She was so attractive.
"If necessary, both you and the princess can take this..."
Gu Ruanci took out another porcelain bottle from his sleeve, which was even smaller and more exquisite.
"What is this?" Lu Enyan knew that he would definitely take it.
"It can disguise your and the princess' pulses, making it appear as if your illnesses have not improved. However, don't take it frequently. Just use it at critical moments."
Lu Enyan took the porcelain bottle with great satisfaction and wanted to say something to express his gratitude.
Finally, Gu Ruanci said, "The Emperor has already told us about my brother's situation. Thanks to the people you trained who successfully brought the news back from Dashun, otherwise my brother would really be in trouble..."
Lu Enyan was stunned, then realized that she was talking about Xu Xiyan.
"You rescued the people yourself, so thank yourself. Or, should I give the two brothers to you?"
