After a long moment, Imperial Physician Liu stood up and said solemnly to everyone in the room, "The old general was severely injured on the battlefield, damaging his heart meridian. He forced himself to practice Qigong before fully recovering, which further damaged his heart meridian. From now on, he must rest and recuperate."

Although he spoke more tactfully in front of the old general, it could be seen from his furrowed brow and serious expression that things were not as simple as he said.

At this moment, Doctor Liu noticed Gu Fanchu walking in. His eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Miss Gu, could you also come and diagnose the old general?"

The old general's pulse was a little strange, like a sign of poisoning, but he was not entirely sure, which confused him.

Everyone in the room focused their attention on Gu Fanchu. Even the old lady's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation. Only the old general had a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Gu Fanchu did not refuse. She walked slowly to the bedside with lotus steps. She stared at her grandfather with her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Grandfather, let Chu'er take a look at you."

The old general sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness and worry in his eyes.

He had fought in battles throughout his life and had experienced countless hardships, but he always tried to stay strong at home and didn't want to worry his family. However, at this moment, he realized that his physical condition might no longer be concealed.

Today, I wanted to pick up my old sword and practice military tactics to commemorate the glory of the past. But when I was wielding the sword, I suddenly felt dizzy, lost control of the sword, and accidentally injured my arm.

Now, the whole family, young and old, is worried about his health. He knows that he can no longer hide his illness, so he sighs, stretches out his uninjured arm, and lets his granddaughter diagnose him.

Gu Fanchu, her expression focused, gently placed her hand on her grandfather's wrist, eyes closed, carefully feeling for his pulse. Her fingers were as light as a butterfly's, as if she could feel the rhythm of life through his skin.

She concentrated her attention, not missing any subtle changes, trying to interpret her grandfather's physical condition from his pulse. As time passed, a tense and quiet atmosphere filled the room.

After a long time, Gu Fanchu carefully lifted up the old general's sleeve again. After a careful inspection, he found some inconspicuous tiny spider silk on his arm, and he had his mind weighed.

"Grandfather, have you ever been poisoned?"

Hearing this, the old lady's face changed. She didn't expect that her husband had been poisoned. Her body couldn't help but tremble a little.

Seeing the old general's reluctance to speak, Gu Yunye was worried about the poison's aftereffects, so he quickly replied, "Yes, my father was poisoned on the battlefield before. The Xiqi people were cunning by nature, and they actually sent their soldiers to the battlefield with poison. We didn't notice it at the time, so we let the soldier succeed."

He recalled the scene at that time, his heart filled with anger towards the enemy and worry about his father.

However, the military doctor accompanying his father had already given him the antidote, so he had always believed that his father had recovered. Could it be that his father had concealed the fact because he was afraid of worrying him? Thinking of this, his heart became heavier.

"Yes, I've heard Master mention this poison before. It's caused by a poison unique to Xiqi. We don't have this poison in the Central Plains, so we don't have this kind of poison."

Gu Fanchu naturally felt distressed when he found out that his grandfather had suffered great losses. In order to defend his country, he remained loyal and steadfast throughout his life.

In the previous life, such a loyal grandfather was...

"Grandfather's health will probably require long-term recuperation. Imperial Physician Liu is right. I think it would be best if Grandfather doesn't use his internal energy anymore in the future... Imperial Physician Liu, please write a prescription. I just need to add a few more herbs."

Gu Fanchu orally described several relatively rare medicinal herbs. Doctor Liu's eyes lit up after hearing this and he praised her repeatedly, "Why didn't I think of that! Miss Gu's order is very clever. I'll go get the medicine prepared first!"

He would go back and write down the list and study it carefully to see if he could make some slight changes to solve other difficult-to-solve poisons.

After everyone left, only his family members were left in the house. When they heard Gu Fanchu's words, their hearts skipped a beat. If the old general could no longer use his internal energy, how could he go to the battlefield?

Gu Fanchu looked at the silent old general seriously, his tone full of maturity that was unbecoming of his age: "Grandfather, your poor health is a good thing!"

"Chu'er, what do you mean by this?"

The old lady was puzzled. How could it be a good thing that the old general couldn't go to the battlefield?

Gu Mingqing looked at her in surprise, wondering what the little girl had seen.

"Grandma, the general's mansion is now in too high a position." Gu Fanchu only said one sentence, and everyone in the room understood it instantly.

"Chu girl, what do you mean?" General Gu's expression did not change. He just looked at his granddaughter who had just returned not long ago.

This child is not like his daughter or Meng Qingwen. Perhaps because he was raised outside, he is very independent and opinionated, and has some insights that are beyond ordinary people.

She could frankly say that she didn't like her biological parents. If this were to get out, the current etiquette and education would probably attack her to death.

But she really liked this kind of personality. He would take revenge on anyone who hurt him, but would be sincere to those who cared about him. This kind of personality was the same as his wife's when she was young.

But today's words are so outrageous that they can only be said at home. If they are spread out, you will be impeached.

"Grandfather, Chu'er hasn't been back long, but he's noticed that the General's Mansion is now too high-handed. My aunt must have been cleaning up the people in the mansion these past two days, and I'm afraid she's discovered something wrong."

Gu Fanchu's voice has a natural tenderness, and even a very ordinary sentence gives people a feeling of coquettishness.

However, the people in the room did not think that she was really acting coquettishly at this moment. They all looked at her in surprise, and then turned to look at Wang who was silent on the side.

Wang didn't expect that Gu Fanchu had already guessed it. Since she reminded her that day, she began to clean up the maids and servants in the mansion.

Because there are too many people and each courtyard has different servants, it is actually not very difficult to clean up, but many people with problems have also been found.

The old lady was old and rarely left Songtao Garden. Wang was worried that she would worry too much, so she naturally didn't know about these things.

Feeling everyone's eyes on him, he had to stand up and said, "Yes, that day Chu'er discovered that there was someone with ulterior motives around my second brother's wife. She came back and reminded me that my daughter-in-law has indeed been cleaning up the servants in the mansion these past few days."

"But did you find any problems?" the old lady asked anxiously.

Wang chose to remain silent, and the old lady and everyone else in the room immediately understood!
