About five days later, Bai Cao brought some medicine.
Xie Jingxi immediately opened the pill and looked at it, ”Is it going smoothly?”
”It was sent here by someone intentionally. I didn't show my face, so I guess I won't be exposed.”
Moreover, the medicine Old Man Ji brought with him was very complete, and it was even accompanied by a dosage statement. It also conveniently stated how much pain he was feeling, so Xie Jingxi brought along with him a wine map to make it known to everyone.
As long as Old Man Ji was willing to cooperate, it would be fine to cut meat for him. But at night, when Imperial Physician Pei came, Xie Jingxi would give him all the ingredients required.
”The Grand Mistress can actually contact Senior Zhang! ”This, this is truly too surprising. Very well, as long as Senior Zhuang is here, everything will be easy.” Pei Zixi looked deeply at Xie Jingxi, ”It is my honor to have obtained this recipe, Grand Mistress is so trusting of me, I am extremely grateful.”
”Imperial Physician Pei does not need to be courteous with me, to be able to be saved by you is the best thing that can happen, we cannot delay this matter, does Imperial Physician Pei need my help?”
”Thank you Grand Mistress for your help. I am afraid that I have no time to care about other people when I apply the acupuncture, so it is naturally good to have your help.”
In just a short ten days of effort, Fang Dai's entire body had lost a lot of weight, her expression was extremely pale, after the poison started to break out, she was still able to get up and move, and then, after releasing so many of them, she had become extremely tormented, to the point that every time Xie Jingxi saw her, she would feel like peeling off Gu Qing's skin. It was already extremely strenuous for Pei Zixi, if the medicine did not start soon, Fang Dai would be tortured to death.
”Grand Mistress, although the medicine is available, the specific proportions still need to be determined based on Miss Fang Dai's condition. I'm afraid it will take a while.
Xie Jingxi did not doubt him, and followed Pei Zixi's instructions, tormenting himself until the sky started to brighten, Fang Dai took the antidote he concocted, and the situation calmed down, but Xie Jingxi and Pei Zixi were already exhausted.
”Miss Fang Dai's poison has already been cleared, it's just that she has been poisoned for a long time, and might have some residual poison, so during this period of time she is still unable to circulate her energy, I still have to come every day, I have already recorded down the medicines that I need to fry, and will have to trouble Young Mistress to give them to her.”
”Thank you, Imperial Physician Pei.”
Fang Dai was still unable to reveal herself for the time being, so she took the chance to meditate. A rock had finally fallen into the ground, and Xie Jingxi could only hope that Gu Yun could return safely.
With Gu Qing, the gunpowder keg that could explode at any time, other than the Marquis' Wife who didn't know about it, everyone else was on tenterhooks. As for Gu Yun, who was still floating on the water, after knowing that Gu Qing had returned, he wished that he could grow wings and fly back.
Others might not remember Gu Qing, but he remembered that time Gu Yun was seven or eight years old, and that was when he remembered things. Moreover, this matter could be said to be carved into his heart, so how could he not remember it clearly?
Both Gu Qing and Gu Wan were born and bred, and were much smaller than Gu Wan. Furthermore, they were born with a much more dangerous personality, as both of them were wrapped in umbilical cord, and it was said that she was brought out with Gu Wan by the throat, and was only a hair away from death. Of course, Gu Yun didn't understand these things, and had heard about it from the seniors in the manor.
For example, biting off a wet nurse's mouth or scaring her to death were things that happened frequently. Since no wet nurse came to visit him later on, he could only feed her cow milk and goat milk. Or perhaps, every time he was placed together with Gu Wan, Gu Qing would inexplicably grab onto Gu Wan's neck. There were several times when major events had nearly occurred, and afterwards, he was forced to separate the two of them.
Moreover, he never cried, but looked at people with a weird gaze. Everyone in the residence said that the Fourth Young Master was a demon who cared about life, and that he should be thrown away to ensure the safety of his Marquis Mansion. The Marquis had also secretly looked for many Daoist monks and such things to try and drive away the evil, but in the end, either the dust from the Daoist Priest had mysteriously burned, or the altar had collapsed. It was very evil, and everyone suggested that the Marquis give the Fourth Young Master away, but the Marquis did not make a decision.
It was only until Gu Qing turned one year old and the old mama saw that he had disappeared, did she manage to search all over his Marquis Mansion, and still, she was unable to find any trace of Fourth Young Master. Only when she was carried away did Marquis activate her search to search for her, but in the end, it was still because she discovered that there was a fire in Marquis Mansion's Ancestral Hall. Only when everyone went to put out the fire did they discover the traces of the missing Fourth Young Master.
crawled around the ancestral hall's ancestral table, and strangely, all of them smiled towards the people outside. Marquis was terrified, and was afraid that he would be burned inside, shee personally brought out a bucket of water to put out the fire, but when he finally went in, she found that Gu Qing was still lying there, completely untouched. Furthermore, all the ancestral tablets were still in good condition, with the exception of Gu Yun's biological mother's ancestral tablet.
If it wasn't for some ulterior motive, how could it be so strange? The Marquis was enraged by this and fiercely punished the senior nurse who was taking care of the Fourth Young Master. However, he still did not know how Gu Qing managed to climb into the ancestral hall. It was said that this matter was moved by others, but to Gu Yun, who was at that age, it was an unerasable pain and injury. It was just that a baby like Gu Qing could not be beaten nor scolded, and the grievances that filled Gu Yun's stomach could not be vented out.
The day he was carried away, the Marquis' Wife refused to give up until death. However, Gu Qing stared at Gu Yun with eyes filled with clear and unmistakable hatred, and although no one knew why a baby would have that kind of expression, it was as if he knew why he was sent out of the Marquis Mansion, and attributed the root of his evil to Gu Yun, Gu Yun. It was as if he knew what had caused him to be sent out of the Marquis Mansion.
