After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

Gu Yu'an and the others entered the Fourth Prince's residence and received the wedding cakes and money that the Fourth Prince had specially reserved for them.

"Attend the Fourth Prince's event"

"Attend the Sixth Prince's..."

Fourth Prince: "No need for formalities."

The Fourth Prince shifted his gaze from Gu Yu'an and the other man to Gu Linglong, his eyes sparkling: "Quickly bring Linglong here so I can hold her."

Gu Linglong immediately stretched out her arms and nestled into the Fourth Prince's embrace with a grin, taking advantage of his unpreparedness to feel his pulse.

[Oh dear, the Fourth Prince's pulse has improved!]

Chu Jingyan took the initiative to say, "Today is not only to celebrate Fourth Brother's bestowal of marriage, but also to announce that Fourth Brother's leg is showing signs of improvement. Although he still can't stand up, it's much better than before."

Gu Linglong nodded. "It's normal for there to be a reaction under the nourishment of my spiritual spring and spirit-gathering talisman. It's just a pity that my power has only recovered to 30%, otherwise, I could heal Fourth Brother's leg with a wave of my hand."

Chu Jingyan: Really? "(^.^)"

Wang Fugui suddenly appeared: "Lord White Tiger, you also have medical skills!"

Hey, I forgot about that! But how am I supposed to prescribe the medicine? Are you stupid?

Wang Fugui scratched his head: "It seems so."

Gu Linglong sighed. "Sigh... Now that Lao Si's leg is reacting, with my medicine, it will definitely get better. What a pity..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu'an nudged Gu Liyao: "Didn't you say your medical skills have improved recently? Why don't you take the Fourth Prince's pulse?"

Gu Liyao shook his head violently. He dared not. If he injured his elder brother, he would only get a beating, but if the Fourth Prince made things worse, it would be fatal.

"No, no, no, my medical skills are insufficient; please consult the imperial physician."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Chu Jingyan's eyes, but then he became dejected and saddened.

"Brother Liyao, please take a look at my fourth brother. The crown prince hasn't been appointed yet, and the situation in court is complicated. If someone with ulterior motives discovers that my fourth brother can stand up, I'm afraid..."

Chu Jingyan didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he was about to say.

The Fourth Prince posed no threat to others before because he was crippled and destined not to become the Crown Prince. But if he were to stand up, he would become an enemy to others.

"Please, Brother Liyao."

The Fourth Prince felt that Chu Jingyan's words made sense; he had underestimated the complexity of his leg.

"Please, Brother Liyao."

Gu Liyao looked at his older brother, who nodded in agreement, so he said, "Okay."

Gu Liyao carefully took the fourth prince's pulse and then pressed his hand on the fourth prince's leg.

The surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop, everyone watching Gu Liyao's every move with bated breath.

This put Gu Liyao under immense pressure.

Gu Liyao carefully took out a silver needle and inserted it into an acupoint; sweat had already begun to bead on his forehead.

Call ~

No bleeding!

Gu Liyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fourth Prince, can you feel anything?"

The Fourth Prince nodded: "Yes, it has a sour and tingling sensation."

"That's good, it means there's a good chance your leg can be cured."

The fourth prince was overjoyed, but asked somewhat nervously, "Brother Liyao, is this true? Do we need medicine?"

Gu Liyao nodded: "If there were no sensation at all, there would be almost no chance of standing up, but the fact that His Highness could feel it after the silver needles were inserted indicates that there is still a possibility of recovery."

The fourth prince's hands trembled. How could he not know this acupoint when the imperial physician had inserted so many needles into his legs?

I didn't feel anything before.

It seems that ever since he met the Gu brothers and held Linglong in his arms, everything about him has slowly started to get better.

The Fourth Prince looked at Gu Linglong in his arms. She was fair-skinned and beautiful. Could the little one be a pageboy under Guanyin?

[I must prescribe it! I wonder how good my second brother's medical skills are. If it were me, I would prescribe: three qian of angelica, two qian of schisandra, five qian of psoralea, and six qian of pigweed...]

Gu Liyao secretly memorized the prescription his younger sister had given him: "Okay, I'll write down a prescription."

Listen to your little sister, you can't go wrong!

Gu Liyao finished writing and handed it to the Fourth Prince, who then handed it to a guard to prepare the medicine.

A quarter of an hour later.

The guard brought in the medicine.

"Your Highness, the medicine is ready."

The fourth prince waved his hand: "Go down."

"Yes"

The dark, medicinal smell made the Fourth Prince frown.

As Wang Fugui flew through the air, looking at the prescription, he felt that something was off.

Boom—

I remembered!

"Great White Tiger, did you add pigweed to the Fourth Prince's prescription?"

Gu Linglong nodded. [Yes, why? Pigweed is a fattening agent; pigs recover better after eating it.]

Wang Fugui's eyes widened: "You know that's for pigs?"

"You don't think the Fourth Prince is a pig, do you?"

Gu Linglong's heart skipped a beat. [Oh no, what should I do? Pigweed is for pigs, I completely forgot!]

Gu Linglong thought for a moment, then said, "That's not right. I didn't write a prescription. I only said it in my mind. My second brother wrote the prescription."

Wang Fugui: "Oh right, I forgot you couldn't speak yet, but your second brother gave you the exact same prescription."

[My second brother and I are prescribed the same medicine? What a coincidence! Did my second brother mistake the fourth prince for a pig?]

Wang Fugui: "That's why we say you're siblings."

After saying that, he snuggled into Gu Linglong's ear and went to sleep.

The three of them froze on the spot. She asked, "What's in the medicine? Could it be something wrong with my ears?"

The three of them turned to look at the fourth prince, who was about to drink his medicine.

"what happened?"

The look in that eyes made the Fourth Prince feel extremely uncomfortable.

Is there something on my face?

The three of them shook their heads in unison: It's not on their faces, but it's in the medicine!

Gu Liyao's back was covered in cold sweat: "Your Highness, please drink the medicine later."

The fourth prince smiled and said, "It's cooled down, it's not hot anymore."

As he spoke, he picked up the medicine bowl again.

Gu Liyao: "Wait..."

"what happened again?"

Gu Liyao swallowed hard: "I heard that the princes' things are always tasted by others. Why don't you find someone to taste it, Your Highness?"

"No need, I still trust you that much."

Gu Liyao thought to himself: Why don't you just have your doubts?

The fourth prince paused, then said as if to comfort Gu Liyao, "The prescription is here. If anything happens to me, Brother Liyao won't be able to escape responsibility either."

Gu Liyao was even more frightened!

"and many more"

Gu Liyao grabbed the Fourth Prince's wrists with both hands, preparing to kneel down and admit his mistake, when he heard his younger sister say something.

Oh dear, the pigweed isn't poisonous; it's just that this bowl of medicine is substandard.

"what happened again?"

Gu Liyao released the Fourth Prince's hand, grinned sheepishly, and said, "It's alright, Your Highness, be careful it's hot."

nerve!

The fourth prince frowned immediately after taking a sip.

Gu Liyao's heart was in his throat: "Your Highness, how does it taste?"

"It's very bitter, but there's a surprising grassy taste to it."

Everyone: "..."

Gu Liyao took the prescription: "Why does it smell like grass? Let me take another look."

So he crossed out the pigweed without hesitation, checked it carefully again, made some corrections, and copied it onto another piece of paper.

He blew on the ink stains and handed it back to the Fourth Prince.

I must say that apart from the unexpected addition of pigweed, my younger sister's recipe is quite ingenious.

He had read many prescriptions for treating legs, most of which required acupuncture.

My sister should be able to recover quickly with this medicine without needing injections.

He's starting to admire his little sister!
