Chapter 264 Xu Rongrong’s New Plan

Mu Rong looked up at the map, thinking about the progress of Chu He and his party.

The carrier pigeons have been delivering messages for a few days now. The carrier pigeons bred by the Marquis' Mansion are several times faster and more endurance-efficient than ordinary pigeons. Calculating the time, they should have delivered the secret letter to the Mu family army.

Seeing his master mention this, Mu Yi calculated for a moment and then replied, "The journey to Southern Xinjiang is long, and it will probably take three or four days for news to come back. But don't worry, Master. The Chu guards are highly skilled, and there are also many skilled soldiers in the Imperial Guards. With the Mu family army secretly protecting them, they will definitely reach Southern Xinjiang safely."

Mu Rong was silent and thoughtful, but turned his head to look at the hazy moonlight outside the window.

He was not worried about Chu He's skills, and what secrets Wai was carrying were not his biggest concern at the moment.

He was only worried about meeting Hongcao. Everyone said that the ice poison in Xu Rongrong's body had been cured, but in just four days, he had lost nearly 10% of his internal strength... Why?

He absolutely did not believe that this matter had nothing to do with the toxicity of the red grass!

But if everything is really as he expected, what should Rongrong do?

……

Mu Rong was extremely anxious on this side, while Xu Rongrong on the other side was completely unaware.

When Aunt Xiao came to give her a change of clothes today, she also said that she looked very good, very different from other girls when they had their first period.

Xu Rongrong also felt that her body was more relaxed than before. She slept better and more soundly at night and was no longer troubled by nightmares.

Wen Yao and Luo Shu attributed everything to the outstanding people and beautiful scenery of Zhuxiang Yayuan.

Only Xu Rongrong still remembered the familiar feeling that night, but...it was inconvenient to mention this matter to others.

These days, Shu Qing came to Zhuxiang Yayuan once to check her pulse as usual.

After checking Xu Rongrong's pulse, he knew that her Qi and blood were slightly depleted, so he wrote down a recipe for blood-tonifying medicinal food: "Medicine is three-quarters toxic, why don't you try this, County Lady?"

Xu Rongrong looked at it carefully and said with a hint of surprise, "Doctor Shu has actually started researching medicinal food?"

Shu Qing nodded. "This is the method I came up with when treating Madam Xiao's lung disease. The county lady also knows that her health has been very poor recently. Treating tuberculosis usually requires strong medicine. I was worried that the strong medicine would damage her body, so I thought of combining the warming and nourishing prescription with the diet. Now, after three days of observation, Madam Xiao's complexion has indeed improved a little. Combined with the medication, her cough has not been as severe as before since yesterday."

"If that's true, that's great!" Xu Rongrong was overjoyed.

Previously, Luo Xiao's mother and daughter were taken back to Guandi Temple by Shu Qing for treatment. Because tuberculosis is highly contagious, Shu Qing had not allowed Xu Rongrong to visit them. Now that she heard that her condition had improved, Xu Rongrong was extremely happy: "Thank you, Doctor Shu."

Xu Rongrong was certainly not worried about Shu Qing's medical skills, but since he was willing to study so hard and saved Luo Xiaoshi some suffering, she naturally wanted to thank him.

"Why do you need to say that, County Lady? This is what I, Shu, should do." Shu Qing's expression was solemn as he spoke. "That day in Yuzhou City, I couldn't find a way to detoxify the people in the city, and I almost gave up. If it weren't for Madam Xiao and her daughter's meticulous care and endless encouragement, I wouldn't have made it until the County Lady found the source of the poison. Now that they are in great trouble, I, Shu, will do my utmost to help them!"

For Yu Shuqing, he always remembered the encouragement from Luo Xiao's mother and daughter when he was at his lowest point, and now was the time for him to make every effort to save them.

Xu Rongrong nodded at this. She asked Wen Yao to take out a land deed from the bedroom and handed it to Shu Qing: "Once Madam Xiao's health improves, we will start preparing for this matter." Shu Qing opened it with a look of suspicion: "This is..."

"I want to open a clinic." Xu Rongrong said.

When the pharmacy opened earlier, Luo Chen asked her why she didn't open a clinic. Xu Rongrong said that she only had some knowledge of herbs and didn't know how to treat diseases. Even if she opened a clinic, she couldn't control those doctors. Matters involving human lives could not tolerate any mistakes.

But now it was different! With Shu Qing, the "medical genius", she no longer had to worry. Previously, through the matter of dispensing medicine, Shu Qing had earned enough reputation in the capital, and now everything was ready for the opening of the clinic.

The location of the clinic has been chosen, and it is still among the eight alleys in the capital.

Coincidentally, their drugstore was originally located in a remote area, but due to word of mouth, it gained a lot of popularity. As a result, an old drugstore in the Eight Alleys of the capital could no longer operate and had to close down.

That shop was more than five times the size of Xu Rongrong's pharmacy, and now that it was being transferred at a low price, she naturally took the opportunity to buy it.

Shu Qing looked at the location on the deed. He walked through Eight Alleys every day and was familiar with the shop, knowing it was an excellent location. Attached to the deed was a layout sketched by Xu Rongrong herself:

She divided the pharmacy into two parts. The long and narrow area on the left was used as a pharmacy, and the right side was divided into front and back. The front was used for medical consultations, and the two courtyards in the back were divided into six rooms for people to come in for treatment.

Further back is the small courtyard where Shu Qing lives, which is fully equipped with bedrooms, kitchen, living room and guest rooms.

And the name of this medical clinic is actually called "Qing'an Hall"!

Shu Qing was speechless for a moment. He was just a walking corpse. How could he have met the county lord and have the opportunity to display his skills in his lifetime?

His hands trembled slightly: "Shu is immoral and incompetent... I am afraid that I have let the county lady down."

Xu Rongrong smiled brightly: "Doctor Shu, there is no need to be modest. Since you have the ability to bring people back to life, you can benefit others and make your life in this world worthwhile."

Xu Rongrong said this to Shu Qing, and also to herself.

She didn't believe that God gave her this opportunity of rebirth just to be entangled with Mu Rong for another lifetime. There must be other deeper meanings. So, she would not let herself live again.

"Shu will definitely live up to the mission!" Shu Qing said seriously.

Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded: "But right now, there is one more thing I need to trouble Doctor Shu with."

"Please give your orders, my lady."

Xu Rongrong told Shu Qing that Mu Rong had been feeling tired recently and wanted to see if he had any medicinal food that could help him concentrate and relieve his fatigue... Shu Qing thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote down two prescriptions and handed them to her.

Xu Rongrong thanked him and asked Wen Yao to send the person out.

She opened the window and leaned on the soft couch beside the window.

The window frame opened, knocking down two flower buds that were peeking out and about to bloom outside the window. Heartbroken Xu Rongrong quickly picked them up and placed them on the incense burner beside her.

The curling green smoke was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, and the spring scene outside the window, with the breeze rustling through the bamboo leaves, made her feel relaxed.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
