The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Originally, Tu was extremely worried, but now that she knew Xia Yanxiang was saved, she relaxed a little. Then, Shen, who had returned, urged her to go back and have a good rest.

Yueqing also told Shen what she had said to Tu before, but Shen didn't understand either.

In their eyes, Xia Yanxiang is still the young lady who doesn't like to go out, never cares about the outside world, and is still the good girl. In fact, in a corner unknown to them, Xia Yanxiang has tasted the most painful things in the world and is no longer the pure and simple Xia Yanxiang.

Yue Qing took the medicine brought by An Zhi, asked An Zhi to help Xia Yanxiang up, and poured the medicine into her mouth. Not long after, Xia Yanxiang vomited.

Yue Qing stopped feeding Xia Yanxiang the medicine only when she could no longer vomit anything.

"It's almost done now, there's still some left. Anzhi, go and lock the room." Yue Qing gave the order, then took out her medicine box, took out her acupuncture kit, and began to give acupuncture to Xia Yanxiang.

About two hours later, Xia Yanxiang vomited some blood again.

Yue Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly put the needle back. After helping Xia Yanxiang put on her undershirt, she called out for help: "Someone come!"

It was Tinglan who came in. After she came in, she closed the door again and then said, "Madam Yue, do you have any instructions?"

Yue Qing put Xia Yanxiang down, and then answered Tinglan: "I will prescribe a medicine in a while, and then you go to get the medicine according to the prescription. If anyone asks about Yan'er's condition, you can't explain it clearly. Don't let others know that Yan'er's poison has been cured."

Tinglan was a little confused, but still agreed.

"Coming?" When the man heard someone entering the room, he probably knew that it was the Xia Mansion's secret guard who had returned.

"Yes, Master Tu had already returned with Doctor Yueqing before daybreak today. Doctor Yueqing had the servants surround the Third Miss's room tightly, so I was unable to find out what was going on inside."

The man did not blame him, but remained silent.

When the secret guards thought the man was not going to give orders for a long time, the man spoke again: "Think of a way to send some medicine in."

The secret guard was stunned. How could this be delivered?

The man didn't seem to know how to deliver it. He frowned in distress. After thinking for a while, he said, "Go to Shangyaotang and take out all the good medicines. Shangyaotang is close to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. They should go there to get the medicine."

The man paused, then continued, "And send some tonic medicine, the best kind."

"Yes."

Wuyi was ordered to get medicine. There was a pharmacy near the Xia Mansion, but Yueqing specifically asked Wuyi to go to the Shang Pharmacy, so Wuyi went to the Shang Pharmacy as instructed.

The doctor at Shangyaotang was named Wang Zhi. When he saw Wuyi coming in, he understood what was going on and asked enthusiastically, "Little brother, do you want to get some medicine?"

Wu Yi was somewhat alert, but very careful. She did not look around, but walked straight to Wang Zhi, took out the prescription in her arms, and said to Wang Zhi: "Doctor, this is the medicine our boss asked me to get. Please help me."

Wang Zhi looked at the prescription, then started prescribing the medicine without asking any questions.

After picking up the medicine, Wang Zhi packed it up. When Wu Yi was about to take it, Wang Zhi took out another pack of medicine and said to Wu Yi, "Little brother, I looked at the prescription. I'm afraid that the sick master has not been in good health. Recently, our Shangyaotang has received help from a kind-hearted person, so we will give some tonic medicine to every patient. How about you take it back and show it to your master for approval?"

Wu Yi was a little suspicious and hesitated to take it. While he was hesitating, he heard Wang Zhi say, "Little brother, our Shangyaotang has been a time-honored brand for more than ten years. You walked into our medicine shop as soon as you arrived. I guess you have been here before? Don't you believe in our credibility?"

Wu Yi still didn't dare to accept it, but refused cautiously: "Thank you for your kindness, but we are also following orders. We are only responsible for getting the medicine and going back. We really don't dare to accept your kindness. Please use these tonics to help those poor people! After all, the host has tonics at home, it's not good to do this again."

Wang Zhi was about to say something, but Wu Yi spoke first, "Thank you so much for your kindness. You should pay for the medicine first! The owner is in urgent need of it!"

Things had come to this point, Wang Zhi had nothing more to say and had to pay Wu Yi's bill.

Wuyi took the medicine, thanked Wang Zhi and left.

A man came out from behind at this time. Without saying anything, Wang Zhi hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, it is my incompetence."

Mo Yuchen didn't blame him. It was his own fault for not considering it properly. If he gave medicine so blatantly, others would definitely not accept it easily. "It's okay. It's normal for him not to accept it."

"Did you write down the prescription he gave you?"

Wang Zhi said quickly, "Your Highness, I have written it down. Looking at the prescription, it should be the antidote for Mushi Powder. Mushi Powder is extracted from a kind of wild vegetable in the folk. After being poisoned, people will be in a state of near death, but the toxins penetrate slowly. Generally speaking, as long as vomiting is induced in time, acupuncture is given, and then the antidote is taken to slowly remove the poison, it will generally not be fatal."

"Not fatal?" Mo Yuchen repeated slowly, his brows furrowed. "Then why did the imperial physician say she was beyond saving?"

"Although Wood and Stone Powder is not fatal, it is not common. The imperial doctors don't know what kind of poison the Third Miss was poisoned by, so they naturally think that the Third Miss will not live long."

Mo Yuchen snorted and laughed, but his brows were still furrowed, "It seems that the imperial doctors are not very useful."

Wang Zhi said nothing more.

After returning to the Xia Mansion, Wuyi gave the medicine to Anzhi to boil, and then went to find Shen and Tu.

Yueqing, Shen and Tu were all together. When they heard Wuyi outside saying that he wanted to see the person in charge, the three of them looked at each other, and then Tu said, "Let him in!"

Wu Yi entered the room and bowed to the three people. After Tu Shi exempted him from the ceremony, Tu Shi asked him, "What's wrong?"

Wu Yi said respectfully, "When I went to Shangyaotang to get medicine, I encountered a strange thing."

"Strange thing? What strange thing?"

"When I was about to leave, Doctor Wang Zhi said that a kind-hearted person had recently helped their pharmacy. He looked at the young lady's prescription and asked if she had been in poor health, so he wanted to give us some tonic medicine. I didn't dare to agree, so I left quickly after making excuses."

Not to mention the three people from the Tu family, even Wu Yi felt that there was something wrong. How could it be possible that Shangyaotang would send tonic medicine just when they went to get medicine?

"Send tonic medicine?" the three people asked in unison.

Yue Qing thought about it carefully and asked, "Does the doctor recognize you?"

Wu Yi shook her head: "When the young lady was sick before, Madam always asked me to go to Shangyaotang to get medicine. However, I have only met the doctor a few times, so I don't know if the doctor remembers me."

Yue Qing was a little alert and quickly called for help: "Someone! Go ask Tinglan to bring over the medicine that Wuyi just got!"

Not long after, Tinglan brought the medicine.
