Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Jilan Courtyard, Study.

After taking Xia Youmi's pulse, Qi Gui left three prescriptions. Xia Youmi placed them one by one on his desk and fell into deep thought.

The first one is the original recipe.

It was a life-saving medicine developed by Senior Brother Qi Gui. Although he did not copy it exactly, he used to be quick and efficient and often helped prepare the medicine, so he remembered the basic steps.

Furthermore, Qi Gui also possesses a certain spirit of research; he attempted to replicate and improve upon the work, hoping to eliminate certain severe side effects.

But just as he was starting to figure things out, his senior brothers discovered it. They used methods to break his legs and arms, making it impossible for him to stay in the army.

If it weren't for Xia Ji giving him a way out, he would have ended his life long ago, having lost his family and no longer able to practice medicine.

Later, he met a little boy at his residence who looked a lot like him and encouraged Qi Gui to cheer up.

He said someone was trying to harm him, but they couldn't take away his knowledge.

to this end,

And for that sliver of possibility. He began practicing pulse diagnosis with his left hand, and spent more money to buy all the necessary medical skills and tools. Xia Ji found out, but didn't ask him to return the money, saying that future medical treatments would offset the difference.

Qi Gui felt that life was even better than when he was studying medicine as a child. Those boys started learning martial arts and would often come to see him. They would tell him about new things, share their youthful thoughts, and even compare who made the young lady eat half a bowl more rice.

The unspoken happiness silently nourished Qi Gui's heart, and he began to have the energy to study medicine.

just,

I dare not think about this original prescription again.

However, the situation is different now, and in order to get the fools out of trouble, he has to start thinking about what to do.

With his current knowledge, he could easily crack the loopholes in the prescription. Moreover, given some experimental opportunities, Qi Gui was confident he could make some improvements.

It was while he was in prison that someone introduced him to the benefactor who had been searching for a prescription.

They were still the power that could decide whether or not those imprisoned could be released. If, if Miss hadn't sought him out, he feared he might have taken the risk. But that would be letting down Lord Xia. Qi Gui didn't want to do anything to harm his benefactor unless absolutely necessary.

The second prescription is an improved version.

In other words, Qi Gui made improvements and adjustments to address the vulnerabilities of the original solution.

However, besides his high talent and ample supply of medicinal herbs, Xia Youmi also played a little trick. She directly found the final version improved by Qi Gui in the original text and published it five years ahead of schedule, without any changes.

Because this medicine is quite crucial, the book describes how much Chunyu Huai valued it, even personally inquiring about a cheap, miraculous doctor he had found among the common people.

Although he is no longer called Qi Gui in the book.

However, upon closer examination of the timeline...

The new emperor rose to power immediately after his ascension to the throne, and by then he had already demonstrated mature technology.

The Xia family mansion was already in disarray when she entered the Fourth Prince's residence, and the people she had taken in were scattered to various places.

Given Chunyu Huai's medical network and the fact that Jing Si is Qi Gui's biological son, it's not hard to guess that they ended up together.

One wanted a mature prescription and also wanted to save Consort Yi. The other wanted Jing Si to live.

Three years were spent developing a prescription specifically for Consort Yi's condition.

Give us another two years, and by the time Xia Youmi is confined to the cold palace, the mature, improved version of the recipe will be complete.

The reason Jing Si was the last to be killed wasn't because Chunyu Huai had an obsessive-compulsive disorder about following the order of names. Rather, it was because he had promised someone else to keep Jing Si a little longer.

However, this happened to hit Xia Youmi's breaking point, and the two went mad in their twisted emotions.

Previously,

Having obtained the prescription and successfully completed the experiment, Emperor Chunyu Huai did the same thing as his father: he buried the physician who developed the medicine.

He couldn't bear to see Jing Si alive, so to avoid Qi Gui's resentment, he tampered with the prescription.

Perhaps,

The father was sent away before the son was killed.

What made him smarter than his father was that he squeezed the man dry before killing him.

Not only was all his medical experience preserved, but he also helped Chunyu Huai cultivate many capable individuals. In the end, he was killed by the very people he had chosen, each with a single medicine.

This time, of course, I won't hand it over easily.

This third prescription is naturally a medicine specifically for Consort Yi's health.

but,

Qi Gui, who was still unfamiliar with Consort Yi's illness, quickly grasped the key points after being enlightened by the ancient prescriptions in the young lady's dowry, thus avoiding several years of detours.

But I still feel uneasy.

He hesitated about the dosage of two of the rare medicinal herbs.

If Consort Yi is critically ill and cannot wait for him to identify the accurate result, the error could be fatal.

Qi Gui was terrified at this very moment. On the surface, his discussion with the young lady was only for the sake of Consort Yi, hoping to cure her and thus free the four guards who had been implicated.

However, if this prescription is not handled carefully, it will break the life-saving effect, making it impossible for Consort Yi to wait for improvement while she is ill. She could pass away without anyone noticing if she is emotionally upset.

Unfortunately, the young lady insisted on explaining the consequences to her superiors herself.

Qi Gui was under immense pressure and couldn't understand her mistress's true thoughts at all.

But intuitively, Qi Gui didn't believe the young lady was trying to save someone. However, how to ensure that the other person would have a relapse was something Qi Gui couldn't figure out, so he could only do as she said.

......

No sooner had Chunyu Huai left the Xia residence in a good mood than he had left.

Shortly after, Consort Yi's condition worsened, and she even relayed the news to Qi Gui, who was in charge of the prescription, overnight.

As for the claim that there is no connection, Xia Youmi, who knows Consort Yi quite well and was the second most targeted character in the original book, doesn't believe it.

The most ruthless is Shu Yan.

Consort Yi put on a good act in front of her sons. They knew she could be difficult, but everything she did had a reason. They claimed their mother was simply in a bad mood, disapproved of those who misbehaved, and only wanted what was best for the inner court.

However, only women who personally experienced the torment inflicted by Consort Yi realized that she was a psychopath.

She would feel upset and heavy-hearted if her son treated someone better. Besides the side effects of the medication, a major reason why Consort Yi had not recovered after being treated by various deities for so many years was that she could not find peace of mind.

Unable to let go of the harm caused to their child, they ignore him or even deliberately destroy his property.

Unable to let go of his concern for his eldest son, he vented his frustrations on his woman.

After entering the palace, coupled with the hatred she harbored for Xia Ji, Xia Youmi was constantly taught by the Empress Dowager to follow rules and be physically punished.

They forced her to eat spoiled food, pierced the soles of her feet, and made her kneel all night long, year after year.

The Empress Dowager knew her son's character well. When they were fighting, she gave him a hint, telling him that Xia Shi still cared about the guards and that's why she didn't accept him. A woman with disloyal intentions can't be tamed by gentle methods.

At that time, Xia Youmi was being held hostage by the Empress Dowager with the life of Jing Si; if she dared to tell anyone, they would be immediately executed along with her.

This side saw that the Empress Dowager truly refused to comply, even after it was discovered that she had used the guards to coerce her.

Chunyu Huai found it hard to feel pity; he could simply ask him for help.

Let those two guards die and we'll be free.

However, all the ropes became entangled until Jing Si was finally dealt with, and the Empress Dowager was no longer able to restrain him.

At this time, the mourning period was over, and the imperial harem began to compete for beauty and favor.

The Empress Dowager always had new tricks up her sleeve, and she was more energetic than anyone else.

until,

Before her death, Empress Shu Yan recounted how the Empress Dowager had treated her and what thoughts she harbored towards them. This finally caused Chunyu Huai to harbor resentment towards the Empress Dowager, leading him to send her to a temporary palace to live out her days, and she never returned to the capital.

Since then,

Emperor Xi Huai's offspring began to come one after another, but the withered flower will never bloom again.
