Qiaoqiao popped up almost instantly: "Miss, what's wrong with you!"
Bai Zhi smiled happily: "Go find Doctor Zhao and ask him to come over and take my pulse!"
Qiaoqiao was a little confused, but she turned around and went out to instruct another maid, then came back and said, "Miss, didn't Doctor Zhao check your pulse just now?"
Bai Zhi said: "One more time, let him give me some strong medicine, I want to get better as soon as possible."
Qiaoqiao blinked and whispered, "Miss, we are going to ..."
Bai Zhi nodded: "The longer the night, the more dreams there are."
At this point, Bai Zhi suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, find some rags and brooms and clean this room thoroughly."
According to the original owner's memory, it was her husband whom she had never met who ordered her not to sleep in the main house, and only found her this shabby house to live in. The original owner was driven to this shabby house on her wedding night, and she cried all night, and naturally had no mood to clean up the house in the following days.
Now that she has taken over this body, she has to tidy up this shabby house. It is so dirty and covered with dust. How can it be worthy of the second life she has finally obtained?
Doctor Zhao walked in tremblingly after a long while. When he entered the room, he found that the whole room was brand new. The room was spotless, the windows were all open, and the sunlight made the whole room golden. The windows were bright and the desks were clean. It was completely different from what he remembered.
Qiaoqiao was wiping the window frame carefully. When she saw Doctor Zhao coming, she quickly threw away the rag and went to greet him: "Doctor Zhao, please come in and take a good look at my young lady... no, take a good look at the third lady."
Doctor Zhao bowed to Bai Zhi, then picked up Bai Zhi's wrist and took her pulse carefully.
Bai Zhi asked, "How?"
Doctor Zhao replied, "Madam, you caught a cold after falling into the water. The cold has invaded your lungs and you need to rest. I have asked the kitchen to prepare some medicine... one dose of the medicine per day, Madam... Madam, take it for ten days and you will recover."
Bai Zhi secretly stared at Doctor Zhao's expression. Seeing him stuttering and wiping his nose with his sleeve from time to time while speaking, she knew in her heart that the medicine must be poisonous.
I don’t know if this is the first time that Doctor Zhao, this honest man, has done something wrong and he can’t hide it at all.
Bai Zhi said, "Thank you, Doctor Zhao. I feel heavy and uncomfortable right now. Could you please give me more medicine so that I can walk again in three days?"
"This..." Doctor Zhao stroked his foot-long white beard back and forth, "Madam, you can't be too impatient when treating a disease, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
Bai Zhi bowed and said, "Please, Doctor Zhao, please find a solution. My back and waist are really sore from lying down. If I lie down any further, I will be glued to the bed." Then she told Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, get me some paper and pen."
Qiaoqiao spread out the four treasures of the study that she had prepared long ago on the slightly shaky table.
Bai Zhi: "Please ask Doctor Zhao to write a prescription. I will ask Qiaoqiao to ask the kitchen to boil the medicine. I won't bother Doctor Zhao to make another trip."
Doctor Zhao was visibly flustered. He didn't know whether to write or not for a moment. After a long while, he managed an excuse: "Old man... I am old. I can't remember some medicinal materials. I have to go back and look up medical books before I can write a prescription..."
Bai Zhi waved her hand and slapped the bed board, interrupting Doctor Zhao in feigned anger: "Doctor Zhao, you have been practicing medicine and writing prescriptions all your life, but now you have to go back and look up medical books for even an ordinary tonic prescription. Are you a quack?"
Doctor Zhao was so anxious when he heard the word "quack" that his neck turned red. He was angry that Bai Zhi had slandered him so casually, but he was also afraid that this matter would get out and ruin his reputation. He was so excited that he picked up a pen and started writing the prescription: "I'll write it right away!"
Bai Zhi took a deep breath.
It is really heartless to force an old lady into this state, but no matter who instigated the old man, he always had the intention to harm her, so it is fair.
Bai Zhi's mind was completely on the prescription. When she saw Doctor Zhao finish writing the prescription, she exchanged a few words of greeting and sent him away.
"Miss, I'll go to the kitchen now!" Qiaoqiao put away the recipe and was about to go out, but Baizhi called her back.
Bai Zhi lowered her voice and said seriously, "Qiaoqiao, copy another prescription and take one to the kitchen to have them boil the medicine. Then take the other copy and secretly go to the pharmacy outside the city to get the medicine. After boiling it, secretly bring it back."
Qiaoqiao didn't understand, but nodded and did as she was told.
Baizhi lay back on the bed.
No matter who wanted to harm her, they would not leave any evidence. Doctor Zhao was not stupid, so there should be nothing wrong with the prescription. The only thing he was afraid of was that the kitchen staff did not follow the prescription and added some ingredients into the medicine.
The doctor hired by the Marquis' Mansion should be of quite high skill. I hope this prescription can make her get better soon and escape from this mess.
Qiaoqiao came back later than Baizhi expected. As soon as she entered the room, she rushed to Baizhi with a sad face and said, "Miss! I just overheard the maids in the main room saying that the third master is coming back!"
Gu Laosan? Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment. According to her memory, this cheap husband had gone out to travel on the morning of the wedding. Why did he come back at this critical moment?
Forget it, no matter what he wants to do, we will fight back. Bai Zhi said to Qiao Qiao: "Don't worry about him, where is the medicine?"
Qiaoqiao undressed her outer garment, and finally took out a cowhide water bag from her inner garment, and handed it to Baizhi: "Drink it quickly, young lady, it will be cold soon."
The moment Baizhi took the water bag, she felt a little burned. She stared at Qiaoqiao's underwear, then immediately threw the water bag aside and uncovered Qiaoqiao's clothes.
Qiaoqiao exclaimed: "Miss?"
Baizhi saw that there was a bright red mark on Qiaoqiao's belly.
"You..." Bai Zhi had never been treated so politely or even sacrificially before, and was at a loss for words. "What are you doing!"
Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Miss, you care about me, and I know that. Don't worry, I put the medicine into your clothes after it was warm. Drink it quickly, the doctor specifically told you to drink it while it's hot. You'll be almost fully recovered in ten days."
Bai Zhi held Qiaoqiao's hand tightly and was speechless for a moment.
Seeing Bai Zhi not moving, Qiaoqiao urged, "Drink quickly, Miss. Get well soon so that we can leave soon."
Bai Zhi nodded, grabbed the water bag and drank it all in one gulp despite the slight heat.
Just after I finished drinking, there was a knock on the door.
Qiaoqiao quickly grabbed the deflated water bag and stuffed it into her arms.
Bai Zhi: "Who?"
The servant outside the door said: "Madam, your medicine is ready."
Bai Zhi pretended to be weak and said, "Ahem, just leave it at the door."
"Yes." After the sound of the tray hitting the ground, the servant gradually walked away.
Only when she could no longer hear the footsteps did Qiaoqiao get up and take the medicine into the house.
Bai Zhi took the medicine and smelled it carefully. It tasted no different from what she had just drunk. Then Bai Zhi took off a silver hairpin from her head and dipped it into the water to test it. It didn't turn black either.
