February 25th, sunny.

Early morning on the eighth day of Lanqiao's trip to Beijing.

Hua Yuxi had been waiting outside the door early to have breakfast with him. She smiled slyly and said, "Did you have a good rest, Master?"

"Since I came to Beijing, I have never slept as soundly as I did last night." Lan Qiao smiled and stretched, "Hua Hua got up so early, what's the matter?"

Hua Yuxi said with some embarrassment: "I have a favor from my family."

Lan Qiao said without thinking: "You promised Ling Yufei that you wanted to diagnose Li Zhuer's pulse, right?"

Hua Yuxi said in surprise: "How did the young master guess it?"

"Although we had different positions in the past, you were never a heartless person." Lan Qiao said casually, "Ling Yufei saved you that day, so you naturally knew how to repay him and didn't want to owe him this favor. But these few days

You were busy rescuing your companions, and accompanied me to visit Xu Mansion at night, but you were still unable to get away, so it was not until today that you finally made this request."

"I didn't expect that the young master looks stupid, but he is actually very shrewd at heart." Hua Yuxi glanced at Lan Qiao with a smile and said, "That's exactly what it is."

"You say I'm stupid?" Lan Qiao pretended to be angry, "Is there anyone who talks to the head of the family like this? And you still don't slap me?"

Hua Yuxi then pretended to pat her cheeks on the left and right, and said with a smile on her face: "I know I was wrong."

Lan Qiao couldn't help laughing and said: "Go and clean up quickly, we will leave in a quarter of an hour."

Hua Yuxi walked away for two steps, then suddenly turned back, with a look on her face that she was hesitant to speak.

"Anything else?"

Hua Yuxi thought for a while and said: "What I want to say is that since we are going out of the city anyway, why not take this opportunity to send the second young master and Miss Ben Yali out too. The capital is a dangerous place after all, and they can't help much if they stay here.

busy."

"No need." Lan Qiao shook his head and said in a calm and affirmative tone, "Xiao Shu has not been found yet. When you go to Jiangpu to show Li Zhuer, we will come back immediately and everyone will go together."

"My slave, I obey." Hua Yuxi's expression darkened, she sighed softly, bowed helplessly, and turned around.

After last night's heavy rain, the blue sky reappeared in the Gyeonggi area. The warm sunshine shone on the earth, and the thousands of flowing clouds were like cotton wool, like floating foam, and like a few fine egg blossoms in a pot of clear soup.

If you go eastward along the north bank of the Yangtze River, twelve or thirteen miles away from Jiangpu, you will see an artificially dug canal, which leads the surging river water into thousands of acres of fertile farmland on the north bank plain.

This river is called Dongwei River. It has nourished this land for more than 30 years since it was dug in the early years of Hongwu. At the three forks of Dongwei River and the Yangtze River, a nine-mile long embankment has always been the Dongwei River.

Guarantee that the river will not be flooded due to sudden surges.

The eight-acre medicinal field where Xu Qiuyu lived in seclusion is located next to this spectacular long embankment.

With a bird song, Xiao Hui rushed down from a small black spot in the clouds, circled three times above the heads of Lanqiao and Hua Yuxi, and fell into a small courtyard by the Dongwei River.

"Xiao Hui is here to greet us." Hua Yuxi smiled and waved in the distance, then turned to the blue bridge next to her, "How about it, are you excited to visit your old place again?"

The small courtyard in front of him was where Xu Qiuyu's medicinal hut used to be. Nowadays, things have changed. Looking at the familiar thatched houses in the courtyard and the overgrown medicinal fields in the distance, Lan Qiao exclaimed: "Everything is just like this.

The same thing happened yesterday."

Ling Yufei came out from the courtyard and said excitedly: "Hua, you must be a man of your word. Are all your family members okay?"

"Fortunately, Mr. Ling gave me the guidance, and with the help of Mr. Lan, they were all safely transferred." When Hua Yuxi said this, she couldn't help but think about it again. Her nose felt sour and she lowered her head.

Ling Yufei also cast a grateful look at Lan Qiao, waved his hand and said: "Please follow me."

"I'm busy with mundane affairs, so I've been delayed for a few more days. I hope it won't delay the little princess' condition." Hua Yuxi glanced at Lan Qiao as she walked, as if to say, "It's just because of you that I'm delayed."

Li Zhuer was lying on a wooden bed, her face paler than the spotless white sheets.

Hua Yuxi squatted down by Li Zhuer's bed, stretched out her hand to explore Li Zhuer's wrist veins for a long time, and was silent in meditation.

Ling Yufei's eyes were full of concern, but he didn't want to disturb Hua Yuxi's thinking. He just watched the change in her expression with fear, guessing the good or bad of Li Zhuer's condition.

Lan Qiao silently patted Ling Yufei's shoulder to express comfort, but it did not relieve his tension at all.

Time seemed to have frozen, and no one knew how much time had passed. Hua Yuxi stood up, with no sign of happiness or sadness on her face.

Ling Yufei said quickly: "How's it going?"

Hua Yuxi did not answer him immediately, but took out a pack of silver needles from her arms, took out a medium-length one, pierced Li Zhuer's skin, and carefully examined the blood drops on the tip of the needle.

After another long period of silence, Hua Yuxi finally spoke slowly: "The situation has not reached an irreversible point yet."

Although her first sentence did not explain what kind of disease Li Zhuer suffered from or what medicine could be used to cure it, it was equivalent to giving Ling Yufei a reassurance and letting him finally let go of the worry hanging in his throat.

Hua Yuxi glanced at Ling Yufei's face and continued: "Although this snake venom is powerful, fortunately, Mr. Ling had sucked out most of the poisonous blood when she was first poisoned, and then he always took good care of her, so that the poison was in her body again.

It decomposed a little, and now only a little toxin remains in her head, which is why she still can't wake up."

When Ling Yufei heard her talk, his heart, which was already on the verge of despair, was like a dark cloud pierced by the sun, illuminated by hope again: "Then is there any way to cure her current condition?"

"If I prescribe according to the detoxification method, I am 70% sure that the little princess can regain consciousness within three months, but..." Hua Yuxi held her cheeks in her hands and seemed a little hesitant, "The situation is more complicated than imagined.

."

"Hua, do you have any concerns?" Ling Yufei rubbed his hands anxiously, "Is it the medical fee or the lack of rare medicinal materials?"

Lan Qiao also said: "Don't worry about the medical fee. How much you want, I will ask the second young master to get it at that time."

"It's not about the medical fee." Hua Yuxi looked at Lan Qiao with resentment and said, "The slave family belongs to the master now. Their life and death depend on the master's orders. How can they covet the master's money? The master has seen all the slave families."

Lan Qiao also felt embarrassed when she said this. Just as she was about to make amends, she turned to Ling Yufei and said, "In order for the two of them to get out of danger, some additional steps may be needed, and the sooner the better."

"Wait, what did you just say?" Ling Yufei said in surprise, "You mean, the two of them?"
