Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Imperial Physician: "Then why don't you keep an eye on the medicine pot when you boil the medicine?"

Shitou: "There are few servants in my second brother's yard, and there are many doctors here tonight. I...I..."

Gu Yankai: "Where are the medicine residues?"

"I just went to look for it myself. The medicine jars were all cleaned, but I don't know where the residue is!"

Gu Yankai took a breath of cold air.

"In that case, Lord Marquis, I will treat you for Nandina domestica poisoning first! If we wait any longer, I'm afraid you will die."

He stopped talking nonsense and went forward to give Gu Tingye an acupuncture injection to induce vomiting. He also personally watched as Gu Tingye drank a lot of melon syrup water. After vomiting three or four times, he slowly woke up.

Gu Yankai asked someone to "invite" several doctors to the side rooms to rest.

Gu Tingye panted heavily and stretched out his hand weakly to Gu Yankai: "Father..."

"The imperial physician has worked hard to wake you up. Don't waste your energy talking. Just lie down quickly." Gu Yankai stood beside his bed with a serious expression, but did not move forward.

Gu Tingye shook his head slightly in self-mockery, then laid back on the pillow, with big tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, the imperial physician comforted him, "Don't be sad, Second Young Master. I have already helped you to expel the poison. You will be fine."

Gu Tingye said hoarsely: "I can escape this time, but can I escape next time?"

When Gu Yankai heard this, his face suddenly changed. He quickly glanced at the imperial physician and cursed Gu Tingye: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that the father and son were on the verge of a fight, the imperial physician hurriedly said, "I'll go get two more prescriptions for strengthening the body's energy first, so that the young master won't become too weak from vomiting." Then he walked out the door.

When the door was closed again, both father and son fell silent.

After a while, Gu Yankai asked, "Do you know who did it?"

Gu Tingye shook his head slightly and said, "It can't be those doctors, and it's even less likely to be Shi Tou."

"Why?"

Gu Tingye looked at his father and said, "I was beaten by you before because of these doctors. If they wanted to do it, they would have had the chance to do it long ago. Why did they wait until today? Not to mention Shitou, his life and future are in my hands, how could he do it to me?"

When Gu Yankai heard Gu Tingye talking about the past, he didn't know what to feel, so he just asked, "Who else?"

Gu Tingye laughed bitterly: "In such a big mansion, there are more than one person who hopes I will die."

"How can you be sure that it was done by someone in the mansion? Could it be that you caused some trouble outside and they came to take revenge?" Gu Yankai was very disgusted with his son who always disparaged his own family.

"I was beaten by my father last night, and this morning I found out that the medicine was poisoned. What kind of person has such a great ability to predict exactly when my father is going to beat me half to death?"

Gu Yankai was choked by what he said.

"Although I couldn't wake up before, I could vaguely hear you talking. That person poisoned my medicine, and when Shi Tou took the medicine away, he washed the medicine jar and threw away the residue. He was so deliberate and familiar with the people in the Gu family. Does father really think that an outsider can do this?"

Gu Yankai was lost in thought and remained silent.

Gu Tingye suddenly propped himself up and half raised his hand, crying to Gu Yankai: "Father! Please save your son!"

He had always been as hard as iron in front of his father. When had he ever been so weak and asked for help? Gu Yankai was stunned for a moment, and finally leaned down and held his arm: "Don't move, lie down first."

Gu Tingye held Gu Yankai's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face: "Father, Father!!! Your son really wants to repent, and he is really repenting. I don't know what I can do to make you believe that your son... your son really regrets it! Your son treats you like a god, and I only hope that you can look at your son a few more times. Your son is really... really not that bad..."

Gu Yankai's heart was slightly moved, and he said slowly: "If you follow the rules, concentrate on studying, or are as sensible as your elder brother, I will naturally not scold you. But you always do things that embarrass the family, how should I treat you?"

"I know I'm wrong, father! I repent every day and reflect on myself all the time. I really just want to study hard and pass the imperial examination to make you happy. But, as you saw today, someone wants to kill me!! Since I returned to Beijing, there are always things missing or extra in my room every day. There are always maids and servants in each room who come to bother me in various ways. Now someone wants to poison me... Maybe it was because I had a bad reputation in the past that made them think of other things, but I really just want to study, change my ways, and serve you!"

"You know you had a bad reputation before."

"Yes, father. I have done many absurd things in the past. Now I feel ashamed when I think about them. I beg you to allow me to live in the house outside for a while. Let me study quietly, okay?"

"Why can't you just stay at home and study quietly?" Gu Yankai just felt a little sympathy, but when he heard him say he was going out, his face changed again.

"I'm afraid someone else is going to harm me."

"Will there be no one who wants to harm you if you go out? If you live somewhere else and have no defenses, won't you be more likely to fall prey to the evildoers?" Gu Yankai still felt that it was an outsider who poisoned Gu Tingye.

"If I live somewhere else, I will definitely assign more people, especially when it comes to decocting medicine and eating, I will be extra careful."

"What if the new servant you bought has ulterior motives and wants to steal your money or kill you? How can a new servant be as loyal as an old servant who has been with you for many years?"

"Father, I am in this mansion today, and there are servants and relatives all over the yard, and there are still people who want to kill me... Loyalty and disloyalty really depend on each person. Moreover, if I leave, you can thoroughly investigate in this mansion to find out who poisoned me, right?"

"I can investigate even if you stay at home, why do you have to move out? Do you have a mistress outside?" Gu Yankai recalled Gu Tingyu's mutterings over the past few days.

"No, father, I just want to move out and study in peace!" Gu Tingye said firmly, "I'm just afraid that I'll die before I pass the Spring Examination, father!" He burst into tears, "Father, please save me!"

Gu Yan was about to continue scolding, but when he saw Gu Tingye's face turn green and he was crying so hard, he finally softened his heart.

He thought for a long time, sighed, and said, "Then you should stay away for a while. When I find out the whole story, you can come back. But if I find out that you have invited some unscrupulous people to live with you and it delays the imperial examination again, I will definitely skin you alive!"

"Thank you for your consideration, father. I will study hard to repay you!"

……

The father and son were talking in the house while Shitou was guarding outside. No one in the Gu family knew what they were talking about.

Xiao Qinshi sat in the room and asked her mother, "Do you think that Gu Tingye poisoned her himself?"

He shook his head to his mother, "Not really. My people in that room heard from the doctor that the poison was extremely tricky. If the imperial physician hadn't been invited, the person would have died."

"Then, could it be that Gu Tingyu put it there?" Little Qin turned the tea bowl in her hand, letting the tea at the bottom swallow up the tea foam on top bit by bit.
