Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

The next day, Shao Wei went to the prefect before dawn. Gu Qinghe knew that he knew how to deal with the matter, so she didn't need to give any suggestions.

And she still has a lot to do.

After staying up all night, Princess Wu's antidote was almost ready at dawn.

But King Wu was a suspicious person by nature, and in order to prevent him from noticing anything, Gu Qinghe made the antidote somewhat mysterious.

When he goes there today, he still has to communicate with the nanny first. Since he has chosen her, he must give her all his trust. Otherwise, if the nanny suddenly turns against him, all that Gu Qinghe has done will be in vain.

Gao Cunzhong's drug had worn off and he was no longer in any condition. When he heard that Gu Qinghe was going to Prince Wu's mansion, he waited outside Gu Qinghe's yard early in the morning.

Gao Cun still felt a little embarrassed when talking about the drugged incident yesterday.

It was indeed his negligence, and he trusted the prefect too much. Although he had some doubts about the prefect's favoritism, he did not expect that he would dare to drug him.

On the way to Prince Wu's Palace, Gao Cun seemed a little silent, with a very solemn expression and occasional sighs.

Gu Qinghe couldn't help but asked, "Are you worried about the prefect?"

Gao Cun quickly came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, "Not really. He was partial and perverted the law, so he must be punished."

"Your expression looks different from what you said." Gu Qinghe looked at him and chuckled.

Gao Cun sighed helplessly, "In fact, the prefect is a good person. The people of Chizhou all give him a thumbs up when they mention him."

He pointed to Gu Qinghe at the half-dead grass and trees on the road and the seemingly endless yellow sand in the distance.

"Chizhou was once used by the imperial court to exile criminals and corrupt officials several decades ago. Later, this place attracted some refugees from other cities. Chizhou has a small population. Although the land is covered with yellow sand, there is a lot of land. As long as you work hard, you can always have a bite to eat."

"After so many years, more and more people lived in Chizhou, and the imperial court gradually noticed this place, a city that was neither worth living nor worth abandoning."

"Later, General Huoqiu proposed that Chizhou's terrain was very suitable for defending against foreign enemies. The court gradually paid attention to it, and the people here lived a much better life. Later, the general came here, and the prefect also came here. The two of them cooperated very well, and the people of Chizhou respected them with their faces and hearts."

Now that the prefect has done such a thing, the person who is most disappointed is their general.

Gao Cun wanted to comfort the general, but he didn't know how to start, so he had to place his hopes on Gu Qinghe.

He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Doctor Gu, you can go back and comfort our general. He listens to you the most."

Where does this come from?

Gu Qinghe smiled, but did not refute. She just nodded, which made Gao Cun feel more at ease.

She believed in Shao Wei.

Perhaps he had not slept all night just like me last night. He went to the prefect so early today, so he must have thought about how to deal with the matter.

When they arrived at Prince Wu's mansion, it seemed that the Prince had given instructions in advance. As soon as the doorman saw Gu Qinghe, he led her to the courtyard of Prince Wu's wife.

The nanny's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Qinghe, but she reacted quickly and her expression quickly tensed up. "Last time, Doctor Gu prescribed medicine for our wife. She has been drinking it for a few days. Why is there no effect at all?"

Seeing her like this, Gu Qinghe knew that there must be someone from King Wu in this room, so she shook her head and said, "I told Madam before that the princess's illness cannot be cured. All I can do is to relieve her pain."

"Although the princess's condition has not improved, has she stopped crying out in pain these past few days?"

The nanny's eyes were red, and she said, "That's true, but is our princess really hopeless?"

She watched Gu Qinghe take out a porcelain bottle and pour out the pills inside, her eyes lit up again, "Is this the medicine that can save our princess' life?"

The maid standing next to the screen quietly pricked up her ears.

Gu Qinghe shook her head. "I'm a doctor, not a god. Ma'am, please don't place too much hope in me. This medicine can only make the princess look better. Ma'am, you should have heard of the last breath. After taking this medicine, the princess will be like a normal person for the next month. After a month, the princess will still be the same as she is now."

As she spoke, she added another strong dose of medicine, "But looking at the princess's current condition, it's hard to say whether she can survive this month."

Mammy fell to the ground, holding the small porcelain bottle in her hands.

The porcelain bottle seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it impossible for her to get up.

When she was hesitating whether to give the pill to the princess, the maid behind the screen spoke up, "Mammy, should we ask the prince for permission before giving this pill to the princess? Otherwise, if the prince knows, he will be angry."

It would have been better if she hadn't said this. As soon as she said this, the nanny jumped up from the ground as if her tail was stepped on.

"Ask for instructions?" She cursed. "Our princess has committed enough sins in her life. Now she even needs to ask the prince's opinion on how to die?"

"It's ridiculous. Our girl has been afraid of pain and hardship since she was young, and she is very proud." The sharp voice gradually faded away. She seemed to have no strength left, and said hoarsely: "One month of normal life and lying down and waiting to die without dignity, if the princess is asked to choose, she will definitely choose the former."

She fed the pill to the princess without hesitation.

The maid opened her mouth but said nothing more.

After a while, she found an excuse to slip out. The nanny quickly grabbed Gu Qinghe's hand and said earnestly, "Doctor Gu, our princess..."

Gu Qinghe pursed her lips tightly, "To be honest, the effect of this pill is only slightly different from what I described. That is, the princess's condition will not get worse after one month. As long as she takes two more pills that can completely remove the remaining poison in her body, the poison will be removed."

"But after a month, even if the poison is cured, will the princess be able to survive?"

What the King of Wu wants is not for the princess to get better. He has a month's patience, but if the princess is still alive and well after a month, it may not be as simple as poisoning.

Nanny knew what she meant. Her mind had never been so clear before, and she understood Gu Qinghe's meaning in an instant, "I will find a way to bring our princess back to the capital. Once we get to the Qi family, the princess will be safe."

Just waiting for her to say this, Gu Qinghe suppressed the joy in her heart and continued: "Is your princess willing to go back?"
