The moon was bright and the stars thin. The lights in the White Horse Temple were all gone.
Gu Ming's eyes couldn't be seen, but he didn't want to fall asleep either. He patiently used his hands to separate the herbs and let the porcelain seal to weigh and Yue Qing to grind. Su Yu Wan only needed to be busy with some small matters.
In the third fragment of the night, Su Yu Wan's sobbing broke the silence of the night: "Gu Qing Yan, you can't even see. Aren't you messing with the herbs just to humiliate us?"
"I really did sleep too much. I thought it would be better to stay up for two nights and wait for someone on the carriage to come up for a dozen hours." Gu Ming placed the medicine in his hand into a paper bag and said, "If you don't want to do this, as long as you open the window in front of me, you can go and kneel outside. This won't be tiring."
"Gu Liuyan!"
"Do you think I'm your big brother Xuan?" Gu Danyan finally stopped, and turned around to follow the direction of Su Yu Wan's voice. While wiping the dust off her hands, she said, "Yue Qing, give her the medicine in your hand, then tie it with a rope and bring it out to kneel."
Yue Qing did as she was told with a dark expression. She fed the medicine and stuffed the person into her mouth before tossing them into the courtyard.
Her hand movements were slightly slower, but she heard a small muffled groan coming from outside the window. She and Yue Qing looked up at the same time, and saw that Su Yuwan had fallen onto the stone bricks. Both of them could not help but tremble.
"This isn't any poison, it's just that after she took our Yun clan's secret medicine, there would be conflicts between the two." He even slowly stroked the ink on the paper as he wrote down the prescription. He said in a low voice: "If the Yun family's secret medicine is also an immortal ring, then the herbs that are in conflict with it are not allowed to enter. This secret medicine will only be accompanied by the sound of a person, so the Yun family's secret medicine is not an all-powerful medicine."
Yue Qing continued with her actions, but the muffled sound outside the door only grew louder and louder. One could even hear the sound of something hitting the stone tiles.
Yue Qing looked at it, her expression changing. "She hit her head on the ground."
"Then it seems that you weighed less than half a tael just now." Gu Pingyan clapped his hands. His nose twitched as he said: "Although the winter is approaching, but there should still be two rains at the end of autumn. I don't know if it will rain today, so I'll give it a try."
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"The herbs just now are only the simplest tasty. If the rain were to fall and let Su Yu Wan drink a few mouthfuls, she would not feel uncomfortable." Gu Danyan's voice rose a bit, and he said it with a 70% seriousness, but still had some thought. After pacing back and forth for a while, he returned to the table: "All the things in your hands have stopped, let's try out another prescription."
Su Yu Wan who was in the courtyard heard this and felt despair.
Before the day arrived, it drizzled down for her. Yue Qing helped her remove the handkerchief from her mouth, but Su Yu Wan didn't have the energy to scream. She could only wish that she could swallow this drizzle in her stomach.
Feng Jiao looked at everything silently. "Is this your revenge against Su Yuwan?"
"This is the result of her and Mu Qing not knowing their important path." Gu Liuyan was as serious as ever as she counted the herbs in her hand. She said: "Go and call Mu Qing over. I'd like to see how he pleads for Su Yuwan."
There was a hint of a smile on his face.
The porcelain seal trembled in fear but still turned around and left. Only Gu Danyan and Yue Qing were left in the room.
Yue Qing didn't want to lower her head to ask about the effects of these medicinal herbs, so Gu Pingyan didn't tell him. When Yue Qing reached over to take the medicine, she said, "This thing is poisonous. I can use it. You and the porcelain don't need to."
"Why?" Yue Qing asked subconsciously.
All of you have consumed a lot of body strengthening medicine since you were young, and because of a woman's weakness, you will be greatly nourished after you reach adulthood. However, this medicinal taste medicine is too heavy, and it is applied externally. Gu Liuyan explained in a low voice. She held the herb close to her hand and ordered: "Untie Su Yuwan and throw her back. Then, stop Mu Qing from entering the house."
Yue Qing nodded doubtfully and followed her instructions.
Even though Su Yu Wan had been unshackled, she could only slump onto the ground, her legs were numb and she was unable to get up. As for the porcelain seal, it hurriedly rushed over with Mu Qing. The latter hadn't even put on his outer robe and was about to charge in wearing only a shoe. However, he was stopped by Yue Qing's hand.
"Gu Liuyan, we are on the same rope now." Mu Qing grabbed Yue Qing's arm, wishing that she didn't know any martial arts.
"Even so, you are still my subordinate." He rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Besides, you know the hatred between me and her, so this time I called you here to hand over the prescription to cure my illness. I don't want to think about all this just for the sake of being immortal and not being able to concoct medicinal herbs, and since you don't trust me, I might as well start using Su Yuwan."
As the sound of his voice faded, a faint smile blossomed on Gu Danyan's face, causing the hearts of everyone present to tremble.
Mu Qing's expression changed again and again, but when his gaze landed on Su Yu Wan, it changed slightly.
"Your Highness, be careful!" The porcelain seal saw the silver light in Su Yu Wan's sleeve.
The person who had fallen to the ground suddenly stood up, but before the blade had even reached Gu Liuyan, Yun Yi, who was at her waist, had unsheathed his sword at an unknown time. Right now, he was pressing it steadily against Su Yu Wan's chest, and due to Su Yu Wan's unstoppable footsteps, he had stabbed in by a few inches, but Gu Yan did not open her eyes. She only stood up slowly, waving the knife in Su Yu Wan's hand, and coldly said: "My blade is something even Duan Chenxuan cannot use."
"You are a monster... "Hm." Su Yuwan's chest was in great pain, but Gu Daiyan's other hand had already gently pushed her away. Yun Yi flipped a flower in her hand and then landed on her palm steadily, leaving behind a dark red color.
"Mu Qing, is this what you said? Su Yuwan is not on the same side as us. " How could Gu Danyan not count the medical skills he had brought? How could he not know that Su Yuwan would not let go of any opportunity to kill him.
Mu Qing was at a loss for words.
Yue Qing and Feng Zhu sized up her eyes at the same time.
Why was it that even though she could not see him, she could still find his mingmen?
"Hand over the medicinal formula or I'll send you off on your way immediately. I believe that Duan Chengrui doesn't want the two people who want to kill me by his side at all times." Gu Danyan held the table and walked to the door. She couldn't clearly see Mu Qing's expression, but she could hear the sobbing sounds behind her, as well as Mu Qing's compromised voice saying the name of the drug.
As he memorized the names of each pill, he brought Yue Qing to the side and whispered to her, "Don't provoke her anymore."
"I know." Even Yue Qing couldn't guarantee that she would be able to stab his opponent in the chest when he was blind, much less act calmly in front of a group of people who had previously injured him.
