After a brief exchange of greetings, Chai Yan took out a small white jade bottle and said to Gan Feng and Gan Mengxian: "Master Gan, Miss Gan, this bottle is the secret medicine I prepared overnight yesterday. Take it and give it to Master Gan.
It will take effect immediately.”
The brother and sister were immediately surprised when they heard it.
Gan Feng looked at the white jade vial and asked, "Master Li, what kind of medicine is this?"
Chai Yan said formally: "Eternal life water."
In fact, it is just cold white water melted with a tonic bean.
Gan Feng and Gan Mengxian had already seen the efficacy of the "Eternal Life Pill" before, and now they believed in the "Eternal Life Water" mentioned by Chai Yan.
"Thank you Mr. Li for your hard work, Mr. Li." Gan Mengxian thanked him hurriedly.
Chai Yan waved his hand with a smile, handed the white jade vial to Gan Mengxian, and said: "You're welcome, take it to Mr. Gan."
Gan Mengxian carefully caught the jade bottle and then went to the room.
Chai Yan said at this time: "Miss Gan, this medicine is very precious. You must be very careful when you take it later. Don't spill it and waste it."
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will be careful." When it comes to her father's recovery, Gan Mengxian doesn't dare to slack off at all.
The next moment, Gan Mengxian and Gan Feng went into the room to give Mr. Gan medicine.
Jimo Qiao then whispered: "Brother-in-law, when did you prepare the medicine last night? Why didn't I know?"
Chai Yan suddenly frowned and whispered: "You don't know what's strange. I'm in my own room and you can't see me."
Jimo Qiao immediately said: "I can't see, but I can hear. You snored so loudly last night, I heard you through the door."
Chai Yan couldn't help but curled his lips and raised his eyebrows: "So you didn't sleep all night last night, and you were squatting at the door of my room to eavesdrop?"
Jimo Qiao's face suddenly became hot, he turned around and sneered: "Hey, who wants to eavesdrop on you!"
Chai Yan laughed happily when he saw this and did not continue the topic.
The four of them waited in the inner courtyard for a while, and then suddenly heard the joyful shouts of the Gan brothers and sisters coming from the room.
Upon hearing this, Chai Yan knew that this was the effect of the tonic bean.
Jimo Qiao also heard it and immediately said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, what kind of medicine are you using? It's so effective!"
Chai Yan deliberately looked proud and said to Jimo Qiao: "To tell you the truth, last night when I was wandering around, I happened to meet a fairy sister with long hair. It was the fairy sister who gave me the gift of love.
I have a bottle of fairy water, which is the small white jade bottle just now, do you understand?"
"It's nonsense. Who can believe it? The more you talk about it, the more nonsense it becomes." Jimo Qiao didn't believe this at all.
When Chai Yan was grinning, Gan Mengxian came out of the room.
"Mr. Li, Miss Jimo, my father has woken up and wants to see you." Gan Mengxian said.
With that said, Gan Mengxian invited Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao into the room.
At this time, Gan Feng was sitting by Master Gan's bedside talking to him. Maybe he was too happy and excited just now. There were still some tears on Gan Feng's face, and his eyes were red, obviously from crying.
Mr. Gan also sat up and was in a good state of mind. However, being in bed for a long time still made him look a little weak. It is estimated that he will need to take good care of himself for a period of time before he can fully recover.
In the following time, people in the room started chatting...
Master Gan was naturally grateful for Chai Yan's application of medicine. Chai Yan had to chat with Master Gan for a while out of politeness, and then found an excuse to leave the room.
After coming out, Chai Yan did not go back into the house. He took Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie out of the inner courtyard and went to the small garden in front to wait.
Chai Yan has never been good at dealing with things like elders, so he would leave midway and let a talkative person like Jimo Qiao play freely, so that he could relax.
After staying in the garden for a while, Gan Feng appeared. He realized that Chai Yan had not gone back, so he chased him out.
"Master Li, why are you here?" The moment Gan Feng saw Chai Yan, he immediately quickened his pace.
Chai Yan didn't wait for Gan Feng to say the following words, then raised his hand and said: "Master Gan, please talk slowly, I won't go over, okay?"
Gan Feng was a little embarrassed, but finally nodded and didn't force it.
Immediately afterwards, Gan Feng said: "By the way, Mr. Li, why don't you guys live here from today on? My father said that he was sick during this period and couldn't entertain everyone well, so he wanted to...
..”
"Master Gan..."
Before Gan Feng could finish speaking, Chai Yan interrupted him.
Then he said: "I appreciate your kindness. If there is nothing important, we will definitely stay for a few more days, eat all over Jiezhou, and travel all over Jiezhou..."
Gan Feng said in surprise: "So Mr. Li will leave Jiezhou soon?"
"Yes, we will leave Jiezhou City early tomorrow morning." Chai Yan nodded.
Gan Feng was surprised: "So fast?"
Chai Yanxin said, is this fast enough? If it hadn't been delayed by your family's affairs, we would have already arrived at Qingyuan Pass.
Gan Feng thought for a while, then held up his hands and said: "Master Li, I want to hold a banquet at home today. Firstly, it is to thank Master Li for saving my father and son. Secondly, it is also to see Master Li off. I hope Master Li can agree."
Chai Yan smiled and nodded: "Of course there is no problem."

In the capital, in the imperial city.
After the morning court, Liu Lang did not go back to the imperial study immediately, but went for a walk in the imperial garden.
He said it was a walk, but actually he was chatting privately with Gu Zhengbang about some things.
After Liu Lang and Gu Zhengbang walked to an arch bridge over the pool, Liu Lang asked, "Gu Aiqing, do you have something important to tell me?"
Gu Zhengbang said softly: "Your Majesty, please step aside first."
Liu Lang was startled for a moment, then turned to Pei Yang and others who were standing by the arch bridge and said, "You guys should go farther away. I have something to discuss with Commander Gu."
Pei Yang and others immediately stepped back and stood far away.
"Gu Aiqing, you can say it now," Liu Lang said.
Gu Zhengbang looked serious and said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhongyong said before that he would send all his concubines away, but according to my investigation, the actual situation is not like this..."
Liu Lang was a little surprised and asked: "Oh? What is the real situation? Tell me quickly..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Gu Zhengbang immediately handed over his hand and continued: "I recently found out that all the concubines of Marquis Zhongyong were secretly kept in a manor outside the city by Marquis Zhongyong. They are not like Marquis Zhongyong.
As said, they have all been divorced and dismissed."
"Is this serious?" Liu Lang's face suddenly darkened.
Gu Zhengbang solemnly said: "Go back to the emperor, it is absolutely true."
Liu Lang was angry at that time and asked: "What does he want to do? He kept saying that he would marry Jimo Qiao and dote on her alone in the future. Unexpectedly, he just hid the woman in a manor outside the city and wanted to do something.
It’s just hiding something from the truth, haha, it’s simply ridiculous, are you treating others like fools?”
Gu Zhengbang didn't answer a word, but quietly listened to Liu Lang's angry rebuke.
After getting angry for a while, Liu Lang suddenly asked: "Gu Aiqing, how did you learn about these things?"
Gu Zhengbang said: "Go back to the emperor. It was Sui San, the steward of Zhongyonghou Mansion, who said so."
"Where are the others?" Liu Lang asked.
Gu Zhengbang replied: "I have been imprisoned by my ministers."
Liu Lang said sternly: "Gu Aiqing, I order you to bring that Sui San to me immediately. I will interrogate him personally. If the situation is true, I will definitely punish Zhongyong Hou for deceiving the emperor!"
"My lord, I obey the order!" Gu Zhengbang accepted the order with his hands raised.
