Mo Jinghong smiled dotingly, "But that's Wen's donkey-hide gelatin."

Wen Qingcheng knew that Wen's was not among the candidates, and she did not want Wen Ji to participate. "I mean to run for election as He's donkey-hide gelatin. Brother Mo, don't forget that you are the major shareholder of Wen Ji donkey-hide gelatin. After all, Wen Ji donkey-hide gelatin is under your name."

Mo Jinghong knew that Wen Ji was Wen Qingcheng's hard work, and she actually put all of Wen Ji under his name. Mo Jinghong was delighted to see that Wen Qingcheng's heart and eyes were full of him. He lowered his head and leaned close to Wen Qingcheng's ear, and said in a low and mellow voice: "Is this considered your dowry?"

Wen Qingcheng reached behind him and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. Mo Jinghong felt the pain, but considering the presence of Yinfu and A Falcon, he only groaned. Wen Qingcheng smiled smugly and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'll make you lose your composure."

Wen Qingcheng knew that Mo Jinghong had already made a backup plan, so she felt relieved and no longer in a hurry. Moreover, Mo Jinghong had saved some of the donkey-hide gelatin that Wen Qingcheng had sent before, which could be used for the selection of Princess Anle. If she was selected and there was an order, Wen Ji would just produce it.

After coming out of the villa in the suburbs of Beijing, Mo Jinghong did not go back to He's directly, and Wen Qingcheng was no longer in a hurry. The two of them had a great time playing around the suburbs of Beijing for the whole afternoon.

However, something happened to He's family during his absence that afternoon. Mo Jinghong sent Wen Qingcheng back to He's family. As soon as he arrived, someone came to report that something had happened to Master Lu...

"Prince, you are here. Something has happened to Master Lu." An intermediate pharmacist beside Lu Qiuyu came over to report.

"What happened?" Mo Jinghong frowned.

"Master Lu seems to have been poisoned and is unconscious. The doctor has been consulted, but he has not been revived yet. We have notified Master Lu's family to come over."

Mo Jinghong strode into Lu Qiuyu's yard. Lu Qiuyu's family had all arrived. His wife, children and mother were holding the doctor back and wouldn't let him leave. "Doctor, please save my son."

"Madam, it's not that I don't want to save her, it's just that I can't do anything to save her. Please ask for help."

When Lu Qiuyu's family looked up and saw Mo Jinghong coming, they immediately let go of the doctor, ran towards him, knelt on the ground and started crying. Mo Jinghong was also annoyed, knowing that Lu Qiuyu was the top pharmacist in Daqi, and even if he made a new drug, he would not test it on himself. He was familiar with all kinds of poisons. This inexplicable poisoning must be strange.

Mo Jinghong glanced at Lu Qiuyu's mother. Although he was upset, he went to comfort her with a sad face. After comforting Lu's mother, Mo Jinghong and A Falcon entered the house one after another.

The people standing in the room were all from Lu Qiuyu's team. When they saw Mo Jinghong coming in, they all stood aside. "Where is Master Lu?" Mo Jinghong asked solemnly.

"The master is in his bedroom."

A young pharmacist led Mo Jinghong in. Lu Qiuyu was lying straight on the bed, with black eyes and blue and purple patches all over his face. The bright red blood flowing from his nose and ears had already solidified, and he looked very horrifying.

"How did Master Lu get poisoned? Has the master taken our He family's antidote pills?" Mo Jinghong asked coldly.

The pharmacist from Lu Qiuyu's team said, "Master Lu has been unconscious. We dissolved the detoxification pills in water but couldn't feed him. The doctor just came and gave him acupuncture and bloodletting, but it was of no use."

Mr. He San also arrived. As soon as he entered the room, he said anxiously: "Jinghong, I heard everything. We don't have any good solutions now. Doctor Jiang in the palace is an expert in detoxification. Why not send him directly to Doctor Jiang's residence? Maybe he can still be saved."

Lu Qiuyu's wife, children and mother also came in, kneeling on the ground, pulling Mo Jinghong's robe, begging him to save Lu Qiuyu. Mo Jinghong agreed and sent someone to send Lu Qiuyu to the residence of Imperial Doctor Jiang.

After seeing Lu Qiuyu off, Mo Jinghong ordered, "Don't alarm the master at this time." There was a terrifying majesty in his voice, and everyone responded.

Mo Jinghong knew that with Third Master He here, Old Master He would know sooner or later, but it was too late today. Thinking that his grandfather was old now, he didn't want to make him worry too much.

Mo Jinghong led people to Lu Qiuyu's pharmaceutical room and noticed that there was still concentrated liquid medicine in the pharmaceutical device. The table was also a mess, and the chair next to it was also fallen to the ground. It looked like the result of a sudden struggle due to poisoning.

Mo Jinghong asked, "How could he suddenly be poisoned? Master Lu never tests medicines himself."

The intermediate pharmacist Lao Huang beside Lu Qiuyu said, "It must not be due to drug testing. Some poisons, if inhaled, will enter the human body and cause poisoning. In order to help He win the selection of Princess Anle, the master took a risk and recently developed a medicine from an ancient recipe, which contains several poisonous drugs."

"Why is it that Master Lu was poisoned, but you are all fine?" Mo Jinghong asked.

"Whenever Master Lu encountered a problem, he would shut himself in his room to think alone. None of us dared to disturb Master Lu. Xiao Zhou saw that Master Lu had not come out for such a long time, so he wanted to send some tea in. As a result, when he entered the room, he saw Master Lu lying on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices."

Mo Jinghong frowned, "How long has Master Lu been in the room?"

Several pharmacists looked at each other, and Lao Huang said, "...About an hour."

Mo Jinghong lowered his eyelids and thought, if he was poisoned, he would have died in an hour. Although Lu Qiuyu was unconscious, he was still hanging on. And he had sent everyone away in advance. How could it be such a coincidence?

Mo Jinghong glanced around the pharmacy, sighed, and said to Lao Huang and the others, "Now we can only pray that Doctor Jiang can save Master Lu. Lao Huang, check the safety risks in the pharmacist and remove all the poisons. Master Lu's current development of the ancient recipe will be suspended for the time being."

When something happened to Lu Qiuyu, the entire He family became agitated. They were all paying attention to Lu Qiuyu's situation and had no intention of making medicine. Fortunately, with Mo Jinghong in charge, there was no trouble.

Mo Jinghong stayed at He's for one night. At the end of the next day, news came from the doctor's mansion that Lu Qiuyu had woken up. Mo Jinghong sat in the study and listened to the little pharmacist's report.

"Your Highness, although Master Lu has been cured of the poison and is not in danger of death for the time being, he cannot speak and can only move his fingers. Imperial Doctor Jiang said that he has never seen such a case before and only said that he should go home and rest with acupuncture. It will take at least three months to recover, or at most several years."

"Okay, I'm glad you're awake. I'll go to Jiang Mansion to see Master Lu later." Mo Jinghong said.

"Master Lu was taken home by his family. His mother insisted on taking him home to recuperate. She also said that she would help Master Lu resign from the He family and retire from the world."

"Well, you go down."

After dismissing the pharmacist, Mo Jinghong stood by the window of the study room with his hands behind his back, unconsciously turning the jade ring on his thumb. After a long while, he said to Ah Falcon, "Go prepare some gifts, and withdraw 1,000 taels of silver from the account. Come with me to see Lu Qiuyu later."
