"Hey, you are such a good person, you deserve to suffer. Not only was your position as princess abandoned, but you also ended up like this."

Doctor Hu kept mumbling, feeling sorry for her short-lived glory and wealth. Seeing Wan Ning finish her medicine, he took the bowl and turned around to walk out the door quietly.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Because she was alone and seriously injured, and this old man was the only straw that Wan Ning could hold on to. So she was particularly careful about his every move, fearing that he would quietly leave here when she was not paying attention.

When asked this question, Doctor Hu felt that he was being wronged, so he took this opportunity to deliberately jump up excitedly, with his legs off the ground like a big toad. He handed the bowl to Wan Ning and asked, "Where are you going? Where can I go? I'll go wash the dishes for you."

Then he pointed at his wine gourd, which was now the "object", and said angrily with his neck stiff and his head turned down: "Besides, my gourd is still with you. Can I leave it alone? If I wanted to leave, I would have left long ago. Why wait until now? Humph, how about this, you go wash this bowl, I won't serve you anymore!"

After saying that, Doctor Hu threw the bowl on the table, and the bowl turned around a few times on the table. He then sat down with his back to her in anger. Seeing his reaction, Wan Ning felt a little sorry for her slip of the tongue. She supported the table with one hand and tried to look in his direction. His chest was bulging and uneven, and the shape of the gold ingot could still be vaguely seen. This also indirectly confirmed that Mu Xun had given him enough money before leaving. Humph, this old man took the money, but still has this work attitude!

"Forget it, forget it. He is really capable. Capable people tend to have some quirks." Wan Ning thought to herself, and her attitude softened. She said, "Well, that's not what I meant. I just care about where you went so that I can call you when I need help. How about this, when I get better, I'll buy you the most luxurious wine jug in the world, how about that?"

It was just a show, and when he heard there was an unexpected gain, the old man decided to stop while he was ahead. He picked up the bowl on the table, stood up and said proudly: "Humph, this is the attitude you should have towards your savior."

"Then please ask the doctor, when will my body be healed?" Wan Ning took the opportunity to inquire about her injuries. Although she had left the city, she was still in the vicinity of Nanye and there was still a risk. It was just a matter of time. Now she wanted to leave here as soon as possible, and she also wanted to find out the whereabouts of Wan Tao before leaving, to see that Liu Qingquan and Tang Xiaoyou were safe and sound, and to get news about Mu Xiu and Meng Zhu.

As I thought about it, I realized how greedy I was and couldn't help but laugh at myself.

The old man looked at her raised mouth and said repeatedly: "That's right, only if you have a good attitude can your body recover quickly, otherwise even gods may not be able to save you."

"How could that be? If a god touches my head, I might jump up and be full of energy right away."

Doctor Hu frowned, choking and speechless for a moment, then he came up with an idea: "Okay, whatever you want, let's make it clear first, the money that young master gave me yesterday was for me to save you at that time, but the subsequent treatment will take up a lot of my time, so you have to pay my medical expenses when you get better."

"Greedy, tell me, how do you calculate the medical expenses?"

Doctor Hu's eyes turned, and he had an idea in his mind. He held up a finger and said, "A piece of gold."

"Okay, okay, okay," Wan Ning said perfunctorily.

At this time, Doctor Hu added: "One day!"

"You are too evil. Okay, okay, let's do this. I have to get better soon." Wan Ning thought about her current inconvenience, so she made another request: "How about this, I can give you two pieces of gold a day, but I need you to help me find someone. If you find someone, I will double the money."

"Okay, who are you looking for?" For the sake of money, Doctor Hu was very tempted.

"My maid." Wan Ning only remembered meeting Doctor Hu in Prince Qi's Mansion, but forgot that Wan Tao was not by her side that day.

Doctor Hu swallowed silently and said, "You had so many maids before, how can I know which one it is? What are the characteristics? Tell me so I can see."

Wan Ning realized that her anxiety was completely useless, so she followed Doctor Hu's instructions and described Wan Tao's characteristics: "She is about the same height as me, and her body shape is not much different. Her face is always covered because of an old injury, but if you can see her eyes, they are as watery as a deer's."

"What eyes, what watery eyes, I'm not interested." As a wandering doctor who travels the streets all year round, he is obviously not interested in other people's appearance, but when he heard about the old wound on the face, he became interested: "What's the matter with the wound on the face? Tell me quickly."

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes either. I only heard her mention it. There are black scars on her face. These scars not only spread but also grow outwards, like tree scars, which are very scary. And her voice is also unusually hoarse, different from that of others. You will definitely recognize her when you see her." Wan Ning did her best to describe Wan Tao's appearance, hoping that by saying more she would be able to find her sooner, but as she spoke she remembered that she was now alone, and because of her, she could not even return to her original shelter.

But looking at Doctor Hu again, he seemed to be thinking seriously, trying to search for something in his mind. Suddenly, he had an epiphany, and his eyes lit up, saying, "This girl's symptoms seem like poisoning."

This was an angle Wan Ning had never thought of. At that moment, she was struck by lightning and blurted out, "What kind of poison is it? Is there a possible antidote?"

"Huitouwu! This Huitouwu is from Nanye..."

Hearing the name "Huitouwu", Wan Ning was so excited that she couldn't even hear what Doctor Hu said afterwards. She interrupted him with a murmur, "Huitouwu, I know, it's Nanye's poison. I've been poisoned by it before. It can be cured! Wan Tao can still be saved!"

Doctor Hu looked confused, especially when he heard Wan Ning say that she was poisoned. He immediately stepped forward and took her wrist to check her pulse. After confirming it, he shook her hand off and even his expression became arrogant. He said thankfully, "Fortunately, the old man hasn't figured out a way to detoxify."

He then said to Wan Ning, "Come on, your poison has not been cured. It's just that you induced vomiting in time when you were poisoned, and drank some medicine, so on the surface it has not affected your life for the time being. Whoever induced vomiting in you that night, you should really thank him."

Who else could it be? Only Ziheng. Wan Ning once again thought of how he had taken care of her, and she couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.

He quickly gathered his emotions and asked, "Hui Hui Wu, I know. A friend told me that there is only one person in the world who can cure this poison. If there is only one person, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Doesn't this poison have no cure? Doesn't my maid have no hope?"

Doctor Hu put his hands behind his back, straightened his back, raised his head and looked at Wan Ning with his chin, and said proudly: "Who said there is no hope? This Huitouwu was invented by my master, and only he can cure it."

"What about your master? Can you invite him over?"

"Dead long ago."

"What else is there to say? It's just hopeless. You can't call back the soul, right?" Wan Ning said impatiently.

"How shameless! My master told me and my junior brother the method of detoxification before he died, humph." He said this with a snort through his nose, looking very disdainful, and then said: "It's a pity that he never figured it out, but I did. This thing also depends on talent. My talent is better than his. The master loves me the most, and I am the master's best disciple."

"Hey, can you cure it?"

"can!"

"Great, great, Wan Tao is saved!"
