Gu Qingli raised an eyebrow, "I'm afraid that your young master didn't tell you one thing. Du Ying has his child." He might not care about a woman, but she might not care about his flesh and blood. "
Warm Fragrance was stunned as she looked at Du Ying. Her gaze landed on Du Ying's lower abdomen, which could barely be covered by her wide clothes.
"From today onwards, you have to report everything that happened in Xuanhua Tower to Du Ying. You still have to speak up for her in front of her young master, and ask him to come see her more."
"There are three pills here. If she is obedient, you can give her one every twenty days. Remember, this antidote won't be able to eradicate the poison. If you harm Du Ying, the remaining antidote …" "Hmph, you know that."
Warm Fragrance could only reply, "Yes."
"Take me to the secret chamber."
Warm Fragrance clenched her teeth and looked at her. She silently led her into her room and felt around the wall.
Gu Qingli could see clearly that she had drawn a pattern along a specific spot, and then a secret door opened up in the wall without a sound.
"Right here." Warm incense lit a lamp and brought Gu Qingli inside, the door silently closing behind them.
The two of them walked slowly. The dark room was long and quiet. Suddenly, the lamp in Warm Fragrance's hand went out, and the wind blew towards Gu Qing Li.
Gu Qingli had never expected this move from her. She sneered and dodged to the side, twisting her wrist and raising her foot to kick. Even in the blind darkness, she accurately kicked her knee.
By the time the light came on, the smell of warm incense was already curling up on the floor.
"Don't challenge my patience. I will make Du Ying give it to you three days late for you to taste the first antidote." Her voice was light and unconcerned as she walked in, looking at the scrolls stacked on the shelves of the cabinet in the darkroom.
Gu Qing flipped through the books as he casually said, "Don't doubt my words. Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death."
After exiting Xuanhua Tower, Gu Qingli took a deep breath, and the corner of her lips curled up slightly under her veil.
This diagnosis was truly an unexpected gain. Regardless of which faction or faction one was facing in the future, they would be an important bargaining chip.
The capital city was big but big. Finding a person was as easy as finding a needle in a haystack. Gu Qingli had only just entered the city when she heard people talking about her at the teahouse and even her scarlet red dress and red veil had attracted everyone's attention.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for her to hide her tracks. Just as she was about to find a restaurant to eat, she was cut off on the street.
"Miss Li Yue, please follow us back to the palace!" Looking at the guard's terrified expression, he remembered that he had met him at the Residence of Mo.
Gu Qingli sighed. It hadn't been a few days since she came to arrest her and bring her home. She thought that she should go see Xin Ziyao. After all, she had gotten some different news from Warm Fragrance.
When he returned to the palace, he saw a group of people walking out of Xiao Yi's residence. They bumped into each other.
With just a glance, Gu Qingli could tell that these people dressed in ordinary clothes and looked carefree were all tall and proud. Their auras were clearly different from ordinary people. If they were not royalty, then they were important officials of the imperial court.
Those people did not take the unfamiliar woman seriously and lowered their heads. They planned to leave in a hurry, but one of them raised his head and exclaimed: "Isn't this the Ghost Doctor, Li Yue, who has been famous in the capital for the past few days?"
Gu Qingli made eye contact with him and took note of his appearance. This person was young and had a rough appearance. She had a weather-beaten expression; it seemed that she was a martial general.
Inside the room, Xiao Yi rested his forehead on the purple sandalwood chair. The room was filled with the fragrance of medicine and steaming hot air was drifting around Gu Qingli's nose. She recognized that it was her own prescription.
"Your Highness."
"I heard that you left the manor in anger because of the matter with Xin Wei's wife?" When Xiao Yi Xiu noticed her enter, he raised his head to look at her with a warm and gentle gaze. It was like a gentle breeze caressing his face. He was completely unable to find the cold and distant expression he had when treating his wangfei.
"Why should I be angry? It's just that at that time, I was a little worried that Xin Beifei would do me harm, so I decided to leave the estate for a while. " Her eyes unconsciously flashed with a trace of craftiness. "Since Consort Xin has been grounded, my safety is guaranteed."
He looked at her, and a trace of an imperceptible smile even rose from the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry. In this prince's estate, no one dares to make things difficult for you."
Gu Qingli was stunned for a moment. She almost thought that she had seen wrongly. How could someone like him show such a gentle smile? Even if it was just an illusion.
"How has the prince been lately?"
"It's about the same as before."
Gu Qingli sat across from him and took out the red silk vein. She nodded, "I have temporarily suppressed it, but I didn't remove it. What I have done is about the same as what Luo Qingyun did, I'm only suppressing the effects of the poison, and getting rid of the poison still needs a long time. If I lose my thread, I won't be in a hurry to recover from my illness. "
"After so many years of waiting, This King is no longer in a hurry."
Xiao Yixiu had just laid down on the bed to receive the acupuncture when Luo Yun's voice could be heard from far away. She was truly everywhere.
In the end, he saw Xiao Yi's jade-like skin and undulating muscles. The Ghost Doctor had dropped a needle on her side, which happened to be a hidden point in her lower abdomen. Luo Yun's face flushed red with shame and indignation.
Gu Qingli swept a glance at her. "Does Miss Luo want to come in and take a look, or continue to stand there?"
Luo Yun did not dare to flare up in front of Xiao Yixiu. She turned her head and angrily said, "I'll wait outside."
Gu Qing Li purposefully and slowly dropped the needle, extending the time needed to pull out the needle. By the time she finished, Luo Yun had already been standing outside for more than an hour.
"Miss Luo Yun, your feet must be numb, right?"
Although Gu Qingli's voice was cold as always, the ridicule in it was obvious.
Surprisingly, Luo Yun did not go against her words. Instead, she rubbed her numb legs and smiled gently at her. "Big sister Li Yue's acupuncture for the prince is even more difficult. Why should I stand for a moment?"
Gu Qingli started. It was true that Luo Yun was gentle and graceful in front of Xiao Yixiu, but she had always been as angry as a hedgehog in front of her. What was going on today?
"I wasn't able to listen to all of the acupuncture techniques that my elder sister taught me last time. Why don't you move over to my place and give me some more pointers?"
Gu Qingli thought for a moment and nodded. She knew that even though Luo Yun was young, she did not seem to be a simple person. Especially since she was the one that set him up last time, she should be full of resentment right now.
Luo Yun stayed at the palace to entertain the guests. She stayed at the pavilion near the water, where the wind blew the fragrance of lotus flowers, and had some herbs planted in the backyard. It looked rather elegant.
There were many herbs in the front yard. Liu Yanyu was in the middle of picking them up and giving pointers to a servant.
"Miss Li Yue is here."
Liu Yanyu's warm smile was as gentle as the morning sun. He had never been as hostile as Luo Yun.
"Senior Brother, I'm listening to your advice, big sister Li Yue."
"That's fine too, you should get Miss Li Yue to guide you. No matter what, you are the descendant of the God Doctor Valley, so don't let others laugh at you."
Liu Yanyu obviously doted on this Junior Sister very much. Even though she was sometimes willful and willful, she couldn't bear to take responsibility.
Upon entering Luo Yun's room, Gu Qing Li was shocked to find that Luo Yun was actually the size of a real person. She quickly understood that Luo Yun was so respectful because he wanted to learn how to use acupuncture in place of Xiao Yi.
Thinking about it, this was not a bad thing. If he really taught Luo Yun, then he could save a lot of trouble.
In the end, Luo Yun was also a medicine girl. Although her medical skills were mediocre, she had a solid foundation. When faced with a acupoint, she was not shy and listened attentively, even while writing down notes, like a studious student.
Gu Qingli had less of a bad feeling towards her, so she taught her seriously as well.
