The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

Li Jiu rolled his eyes and couldn't help but:

"Old man, don't recognize relatives randomly."

Pei Jinzhi's expression was calm: "Don't be rude."

He gestured for Cheng Buyu to take a seat. "Doctor Cheng, please take a seat. Doctor Bai Shi is a truly extraordinary doctor. Is he actually your junior fellow apprentice?"

Li Jiu didn't believe it, so of course he didn't believe it either.

Cheng Buyu didn't take it to heart and just laughed:

"He and I both studied under the Medical Saint Wu Juezi. He loved to travel and was a traveling doctor. I, on the other hand, didn't like to be active, so I opened a clinic in Fengshui Town. In terms of medical skills, my junior brother is superior to me. I'm ashamed."

His frankness made Pei Jinzhi and Li Jiu feel a little embarrassed.

Li Jiu was a straightforward person, so he immediately bowed and apologized: "I apologize for any offense I caused you just now, Doctor Cheng, please forgive me."

Sang Wan silently complained in her heart, no wonder it sounded familiar, wasn't this Bai Shi the weird uncle who teased her every time they met?

In her eight years at Tensendo, she had only met Shiraishi twice.

He was old and refused to get married. He traveled around everywhere, like a dragon that was hard to find. The two times he came, he just passed by Fengshui Town.

It was actually he who removed the poison from Pei Jinzhi.

Shi Luochuan walked quietly to Sang Wan's side:

"Awan, are you okay?"

Ah Wan? Pei Jinzhi's brows knitted together, his eyes involuntarily looking at the two people holding hands.

He cleared his cough. Shi Luochuan was a thin-skinned scholar, so he immediately let go of his hand.

Cheng Buyu bowed and took a seat.

"Bai Shi has always been casual, I don't know when he recognized a person like the prince."

Pei Jinzhi signaled Li Jiu to guard outside the hall.

There are spies everywhere in this house. He has always been cautious and doesn't want his conversation today to be overheard.

"Five years ago, I went to Guangfo Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to pay homage to my deceased mother. On the way back, I became poisoned. Fortunately, Doctor Bai passed by and saved my life." Pei Jinzhi revealed the inside story directly.

I still feel scared when I think of this incident.

If he had not wanted to spend more time chatting with his mother's spirit tablet under the eternal lamp that day, and had returned home late, he would have been in the Duke's Mansion when the poison took effect.

Kang was in charge of the finances. If he got poisoned in the house, he would surely die.

It was his mother who protected him, and somehow, he was able to meet the miracle doctor Bai Shi who passed by, and survived.

Cheng Buyu noticed that his face looked different the moment Bu Yi came in.

His paleness was a sickly paleness, with veins visible between his eyebrows, his ears were red, and there were faint black lines under his eyes.

"Is there any remaining poison in the prince's body? How could a junior brother like me be so careless?"

Pei Jinzhi waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with Divine Doctor Bai. In fact, I have been poisoned for many years. Divine Doctor Bai has already removed most of the internal poison for me. It's just that the remaining little bit is now being kept alive by the Qingxuan Pills."

"Dan pills are three parts poison, and should not be taken for a long time. My Lord, please extend your hand."

Cheng Buyu listened to the heartbeat with a normal expression, and no emotion could be seen.

Shi Luochuan was anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything to disturb her. He could only look up at Sang Wan from time to time.

When Sang Wan saw him, she was happy and the smile returned to her face.

The two looked at each other and smiled extremely sweetly, which was all seen by Pei Jinzhi.

Cheng Buyu examined the patient carefully and stroked his beard.

"The Qingxuan Pills are no longer of much use. The remaining poison in the prince's body has already invaded his brain. Has he developed a stroke?"

Pei Jinzhi's headache had been tormenting him for many days: "Sir, you are truly a master!"

Cheng Buyu is capable.

Pei Jinzhi's heart, which had been hanging in the air for many days, suddenly settled down.

He couldn't help but glance at Sang Wan, and saw Sang Wan raising her eyebrows at him proudly.

Pei Jinzhi's lips curled up slightly.

"My Lord, this residual poison isn't just affecting your head. Do your hands sometimes feel numb now?"

Pei Jinzhi nodded. "It's been like this lately. Sometimes I find writing a bit difficult."

"A short pain is worse than a long one. If you want to eliminate the remaining poison, you have to use drastic measures."

"I will follow your instructions, sir." Pei Jinzhi bowed.

Cheng Buyu motioned Sang Wan to fetch some writing brush and ink, then wrote a prescription on paper:

"The amount of poison that Prince was poisoned with was so minute it's barely noticeable, but over time it can corrode a person's nerves. Mild cases can cause epilepsy, with foaming at the mouth. Severe cases can damage the brain, turning one into a complete idiot, at the mercy of others. Fortunately, you met Bai Shi when you were ill, and he stabilized your heart and prevented you from going insane."

This poison is consistent with Bai Shi's judgment back then.

Pei Jinzhi's doubts were somewhat alleviated.

"Doctor Cheng, is there any way to completely eliminate the remaining poison in me?"

"There is a way, but the medicine is very strong. I am afraid that the prince's current body cannot bear it."

"I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as it can detoxify me, I'll try."

Cheng Buyu pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard again: "The prince and I are destined to be together. A doctor cannot give up halfway. Bai Shi saved you. Now that he is gone, I will take over his responsibilities and do what he left unfinished."

"Sir, you are so kind! Your kindness is like a rebirth! I sincerely thank you. If you can eliminate the remaining poison, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Cheng Buyu raised his hand lightly and sighed:

"I'm a doctor, and this is my job. But I came here today for another matter."

He glanced at Sang Wan and bowed to Pei Jinzhi again: "I wonder why Miss Sang is in Pei's house?"

Sang Wan stared straight at Cheng Buyu, but he looked away.

Her brows twitched and her heart grew even colder.

Just sit there pretending to be stupid, Old Cheng.

Pei Jinzhi held the teacup and smiled faintly:

"Miss Sang came into the mansion of her own free will, it's not me who kept her from going."

Shi Luochuan didn't believe it, and his tone was a little out of control:

"But he forced you?"

"A gentleman never forces others to do things against their will."

A hint of anger flashed across Pei Jinzhi's eyes.

This pair of men and women.

A man who borrows money shamelessly;

One puts a hat on him.

Sang Wan gently pulled the corner of Shi Luochuan's clothes.

This madman changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. Killing a weak scholar is as easy as crushing an ant.

"The monthly salary here is high."

Shi Luochuan was skeptical. He knew Sang Wan was short of money, but he always felt something was wrong.

But since she said so, he couldn't wrongly accuse Pei Jinzhi for no reason.

"I spoke nonsense, please forgive me, my lord."

Pei Jinzhi held the teacup and groaned, indicating that he was not going to argue with him.

After hearing what she said, Cheng Buyu stepped down:

"That's fine. Sang Wan is a diligent and capable girl. The prince won't make a mistake in her."

Pei Jinzhi nodded lightly in response.

Sang Wan lowered her voice: "Brother Luochuan, it's okay, I'm fine here."

Cheng Buyu was discussing with Pei Jinzhi how to remove the poison:

"To completely eliminate the remaining toxins in your body, you need to come to the pharmacy for acupuncture every five days, then take the medicine back home and bathe in a tub. The heat will help to clear the blood and dissolve blood stasis. There's also a secret medicine that needs to be boiled into pills and taken orally."

"Excuse me, sir, what secret medicine is this?"

Pei Jinzhi asked humbly.

Cheng Buyu handed over the prescription. There were only four words on the paper:

Golden lotuses bloom from the ground.

Pei Jinzhi's brows relaxed, Bai Shi was looking for this thing.

"But is it the ground-emerging golden lotus among the 'five trees and six flowers' mentioned in Buddhism?"

"Exactly. Legend has it that when the Buddha preached, at his most splendid moments, flowers would fall from the sky and golden lotuses would sprout from the ground. This is the sacred flower of Buddhism. But in the eyes of us doctors, this flower is also a medicinal herb that can precisely counteract the poison of evergreen."

"But this flower only blooms once in its lifetime in the hot southern Yunnan, so it's extremely hard to come by."

If not for this, Bai Shi would not have been gone for several years and there has been no news of him to this day.

Cheng Buyu stroked his beard, showing a bit of arrogance that he couldn't hide:

"Your Highness is indeed a blessed man. I have one in my hand."

Sang Wan couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Wow, it’s quite well prepared.
