"Okay, you can talk now."

The two of them walked far enough, and she turned around to look at Lu Jiangnian at the end of the road. He looked at her stubbornly, not moving.

Although Yuan Wanru couldn't see his expression clearly, she could guess that he must have a stern face and looked unhappy.

I don’t know if it’s the possessiveness at work, or if he’s just a jealous person deep down.

Su Shaodong followed her gaze and asked with some confusion, "Why do I feel that your husband is a little strange this time?"

That is, the visible nervousness and concern towards the little beauty seems to have faded a lot.

Yuan Wanru didn't answer, but urged him: "What do you want to talk about?"

Seeing this, Su Shaodong did not ask any further questions. He looked into her eyes seriously and said sincerely, "I think you should be able to guess that someone around me has been poisoned."

He got straight to the point.

Since he had brought up the topic, Yuan Wanru didn't beat around the bush. "Well, from Qihuangzhai's continuous purchase of Yuanyang Lotus and Doctor Wu's previous indications of his eagerness for Taiping Pills, I did guess something."

The smile in Su Shaodong's eyes grew even brighter. "Talking to you is straightforward. That's right, a good friend of my father's has been poisoned for many years. Although our Su family has been practicing medicine for generations, we know nothing about poison."

"My father spent years trying to save his life, and it was hard to keep him alive."

"Later, my father went to southern Xinjiang, just to seek a way to cure the poison."

Speaking of his father, he felt a little downcast: "I haven't seen him for three years. If it weren't for the occasional letter, I would have thought he had returned to the earth."

Yuan Wanru was a little shocked. His father was willing to sacrifice so much for a good friend. They must be friends for life and death.

However, "You want me to help that person get rid of the poison?"

Su Shaodong nodded: "That's right, the Taiping Pills are only a temporary relief. Moreover, he has been poisoned for many years, and the effect of the Taiping Pills is weaker than we thought. I'm worried that he can't hold on."

Yuan Wanru didn't refuse. She said, "I can't guarantee that I can cure the poison in him. I need to see him first before I can make a conclusion."

"Is this the condition for you to help me find the Phoenix Jade Fruit?"

Su Shaodong touched his nose embarrassedly: "I guess so."

"And, to be honest, I only know about the Phoenix Jade Fruit. My father said that the Southern Xinjiang Gu Sect is hiding in the Laimeng Mountains, and the Phoenix Jade Fruit is in Gu Sect's hands."

The location of the Gu Sect is also a mystery, but Su Shaodong said it out easily.

"Aren't you afraid? We'll send someone else to Mengshan. Didn't I detoxify that person?"

Su Shaodong said seriously: "No, I believe you."

The interactions between people are so strange. Yuan Wanru looks particularly like him and has a good personality. He always has an inexplicable trust in her.

"Besides, Mount Meng is very big. Without my father leading the way, it would be difficult for you to find Gu Zong."

Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "Okay, the deal is done. I'll help him get rid of the poison tomorrow."

Su Shaodong smiled back: "Deal."

After talking about this, Yuan Wanru remembered another thing.

"When you have time, please ask about the treatment of the girl from the Wu Anbo family who broke her leg in the palace. If possible, I would like to hide my identity and treat her leg."

Su Shaodong patted his chest and said, "It's a small matter. Leave it to me."

-

Lu Jiangnian saw the two people in the pavilion talking happily and wanted to turn around and leave several times.

But in the end, he still held back.

After all, Yuan came to Qihuangzhai because of his Gu, and he couldn't just leave.

Finally, the two people, talking and laughing, left the pavilion. He strode over and stood between them: "Are you done?"

Su Shaodong glanced at him with disdain, then bent down and leaned over to say to Yuan Wanru, "Little beauty, you talk to Xuan Huang. I'll be gone for a while."

Yuan Wanru nodded, and Su Shaodong walked towards the other side of the room.

Xuan Huang was dressed appropriately today, his clothes were neat and shiny, and he looked like a handsome young man, much more pleasing to the eye than before.

Seeing that Yuan Wanru had finished her talk, he hurried over and couldn't wait to report to her his previous discovery about raising Gu.

"I fed the Sleep Nightmare Gu several kinds of medicine, and I found that there are several herbs that can make the Gu's reaction much slower."

"Also, there are several other medicines that can make the Gu even more excited. I've recorded them all."

He handed over a notebook with a respectful attitude, "Madam, please take a look."

Yuan Wanru took it and read it carefully. "You are very attentive. This notebook is very useful to me."

"Tell me in detail how you prepared these herbs. Also, what are the differences in the intensity of the reaction and the time it takes for the Gu to take effect after taking it?"

Xuan Huang was so happy to receive the compliment that he almost danced with joy. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Yuan Wanru and said, "Okay, I will tell you everything I know, no matter how big or small."

Yuan Wanru took him to a side room and said, "Let's go in and talk in detail. I want to write down everything you say and analyze it carefully."

Lu Jiangnian was completely ignored by them.

He stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or leave.

The two people inside were so engrossed in their discussion that he had no room to speak.

What on earth is he doing here?

Xuan Huang was even more enthusiastic towards Yuanshi than his master.

Xuanqing saw the prince's unfriendly eyes and worried expression, and guessed something.

"It seems that Madam can't leave for a while. Why don't you go take care of other things first and come back to pick up Madam later?"

Why sit on the bench here?

Lu Jiangnian said nothing, pursed his lips, and walked out with a stern face.

Xuanqing followed him and mounted the horse, thinking that he was going to work in the palace, but he didn't expect that the prince actually went to a pastry shop.

"Pick some soft and sticky snacks,"

He casually said, "If you knew what Yuanshi liked to eat, buy more. She worked so hard to cure the poison for me, I can't let her go hungry."

Xuan Qing: ...

I thought the prince had such a bad temper and was so strong-willed, but in the end, he is just like this?

The Crown Prince’s wife didn’t even say she wanted to eat it, but he came running over to buy it?

What a lame excuse! Does he think that others can't see through it?

Xuan Qing gave an awkward laugh: "Oh, then I'll pick a few for you."

-

When Su Shaodong came out, he didn't see Lu Jiangnian and was very happy. He saw Yuan Wanru and Xuan Huang talking in the side room, so he tactfully moved away.

Since the little beauty didn't call him, she probably didn't want him to know.

He would never upset the little beauty.

So he went outside and tried to get Liu Yan to talk to him.

"Does Prince Lu have a concubine?"

Liu Yan shook his head honestly.

"Does Prince Lu have a female confidante?"

Liu Yan still shook his head honestly.

Su Shaodong didn't believe it, "Is there any troublemaker around Master Lu?"

Liu Yan didn't shake her head this time. Do the old lady and Madam Liu count?

And does that damn Liang Yusong count?

However, these words cannot be said to an outsider.

Su Shaodong saw the clue, he came over and smiled very kindly: "Tell me about it, I love to hear these things the most."

When Lu Jiangnian came back with bags of snacks, he saw this scene. Su Shaodong was like a big bad wolf luring a little white rabbit, smiling with ill intentions.
