Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Chapter 319 Taking Someone Down with You

Hongfeng waited until nightfall yesterday but still didn't see Yang Jianwu. His mind was full of thoughts about how to ask Hongyun for advice when he got back.

Yang Jianwu: "Hongfeng? Did he say anything?"

Hibiscus, "Hongfeng didn't say."

However, news came from inside the ward that the old apothecary had come to the capital, which was probably related to this matter…

Yang Jianwu ran to Mu Jin's side in a flash.

Mu Jin gently patted Yang Jianwu's back, "Miss, calm down."

Yang Jianwu raised both hands, pressed his palms down, and focused his energy into his dantian.

"I'm quite calm about your young lady."

A few days ago, Changqing agreed to recognize Qingdai as her god-sister. Could it be that Yao Lao disagreed?

"When did you come?"

"Early yesterday morning."

If you don't rush to find her when you arrive, then there must be something else on your mind.

Why doesn't the old medicine master come to find me?

Given their relationship, they should have come to her first, so why did they let Mo Ye get the news first...?

For the old master to make the trip in person, it must be something important.

The old doctor treated her very well, and if there was any way to help, she would definitely lend a hand.

Mu Jin: "Guard Hongfeng came by yesterday, but your room was locked and he didn't see you."

He came again this morning; he must have something important to discuss.

"Let's go see Hongfeng."

"Yes."

"Ah Xuan, you eat first, I'll be right back."

Pu Yangxuan began writing down the rules of a good man's love for his wife in his little notebook: If his wife is hungry, he cannot eat either.

"Sword Dance, wait for me."

As the group entered the hall, Hongfeng searched everywhere for the figure he had been longing for.

Why isn't it there...?

Yang Jianwu turned around to check the headcount; everyone was there. "Hongfeng, who are you looking for?"

"I... your subordinate..."

Hongfeng's eyes were completely red, and he couldn't utter another word for a long time.

"Subordinate..."

Mu Jin watched anxiously, her hands clenched tightly. "What an idiot! Tell me who you're looking for!"

"Subordinate..."

Hongfeng took a deep breath and managed to utter only one sentence, "This subordinate is here to deliver a message on behalf of Your Highness."

Yang Jianwu didn't understand Hongfeng's thoughts. Since he had sent a message and hadn't left any message yesterday, it must be something very important that he didn't want outsiders to know.

"If I am not free next time, I can tell Mu Jin and Song Yin, so as not to delay Brother Ye's important matter."

Hongfeng looked ashamed; he had been so preoccupied with Songyin yesterday that he had forgotten about delivering the message...

Fortunately, His Highness did not punish him, but simply told him to come back early the next morning.

"Well... His Highness might be worried that the message was sent to the wrong person."

"Ok?"

Her maids were all incredibly clever; how could they possibly have relayed the wrong message?

"What did Brother Ye ask you to convey?"

"That's right, Master Yao came to the capital yesterday and caused a great disturbance at the Yu'an Prince's Mansion."

Yang Jianwu felt like she was hallucinating. "What did you say?"

Not only did the old apothecary arrive, but he also caused a great disturbance at the Yu'an Prince's Mansion? Was it because of Qingdai?

"Tell me carefully."

"Yes."

*

Changqing used a large gold coin to deliver a letter to the old man, informing him of everything that had happened to Qingdai at the Yu'an Prince's Mansion.

The Medicine King Palace had been cooperating with Yang Jianwu for many years and was just worried about not having a chance to curry favor with her, and now the opportunity had come.

The old doctor simply adopted a goddaughter to take care of her when needed, so that she would have another person to show him filial piety in the future. This would not divide the Medicine King Hall, and it would also do Yang Jianwu a favor.

Such a good thing is something one could never ask for.

The old apothecary immediately announced the good news of taking Qingdai as his goddaughter to the entire palace, and, in the name of the Medicine King Palace, he came to prepare gifts and send "meeting money" to the child.

He led his men into the capital overnight and headed straight for the Prince Yu'an's residence.

Prince Yu'an and his wife are not at the palace; the Crown Princess of Yu'an is in charge of the affairs within the palace.

The Crown Princess did not recognize the old doctor and ordered him to be thrown out.

The old apothecary had come to cause trouble, and the Crown Princess provided an excuse for him to order his men to vandalize the mansion.

At the gate of the mansion, people were stationed to spread rumors: the illegitimate son of the Prince of Yu'an mistreated the daughter of the old doctor and allowed his concubine to bully her. They even wrote a book about Qingdai's affair, and by the time Prince Jingzhi of Yu'an arrived at the scene, the mansion had become the laughing stock of the entire capital.

Jing Zhi immediately ordered the Crown Princess to be confined to her quarters and apologized to the old doctor on behalf of the Yu'an Prince's Mansion.

And it is guaranteed that Qingdai's child will be Jingnan's eldest son.

As early as when Prince Yu'an learned that Qingdai was the goddaughter of the old doctor, he intended to make Qingdai Jingnan's wife.

The history of the Medicine King Hall is even longer than that of the Eastern Fence. The connection with the Medicine Master is not something that just anyone can establish.

Being able to become a goddaughter is something that ordinary people can only dream of.

Jingnan's ability to marry her is a great help to the Prince's Mansion.

The bamboo wife was placed as a concubine upon entering the house, and Jingnan could marry without the consent of the bamboo family.

In the words of the old master himself, that is—the Zhu family is nothing!

Lady Zhu tried her best to speak up for the Zhu family, but Yao Lao retorted to each of her arguments.

The old apothecary even declared that if the Yu'an Prince's Mansion were to retain a place for Lady Zhu, then they should not expect Qingdai to enter the mansion.

"Old Yao is awesome!"

Yang Jianwu almost wanted to applaud the old doctor; he was so awesome!

Although it's unclear what Qingdai plans to do in the future, with Yao Lao protecting her, even if she re-enters the Yu'an Prince's Mansion, no one will dare to underestimate her.

After Hongfeng finished recounting how Yao Laoda had caused trouble at the Prince's mansion, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Damn it, how could I forget the most important thing!"

"what's up?"

"Today, the old doctor will be giving the child a three-day gift as a member of the maternal family."

His Highness would like to invite Miss Yang to go with him.

Judging by the time, it should be starting soon...

I'm so sorry, Miss Yang, it's all my fault...

As he finished speaking, Hongfeng's voice grew softer and softer.

Miss Yang originally had plenty of time to get to the villa, but now... sob sob sob...

Yang Jianwu inwardly groaned, "How could I have forgotten such an important thing!"

In ancient times, it was customary to bathe a newborn child on the third day after birth; this practice was known as "washing the third day."

Fortunately, Hongfeng informed us too late, so we can take someone down with us.

“Hongfeng, you don’t need to blame yourself. What’s done is done. Let’s get there as soon as possible.”

Yang Jianwu led her men in a flurry of activity toward the villa, grabbing a quick bite of bread along the way to save room for a big meal!

Early in the morning, Mo Ye sent people to the villa to make arrangements; Yao Lao's men only needed to carry the gifts.

Wisps of smoke rose from the gilded incense burner.

Qingdai leaned against the brocade cushion, gazing at the wrinkled baby in her arms, and listening to the sounds of Granny Li directing the maids to handle the copper basin outside. A smile appeared on her pale face.

Since moving to the other house, she hasn't dared to leave the gate, for fear of hearing gossip outside.

Qingdai knew she couldn't handle the pressure as well as Songyin and the others, and was afraid she wouldn't be able to withstand it.

After learning that the baby was breech, she was even more anxious and unable to eat or sleep.

The child has been born safely, and with Master Yao as our support, it's all thanks to Miss.

A three-foot-wide carved rosewood table was set up in the main hall, on which were enshrined gilded statues of thirteen goddesses.

At the very center, beneath the feet of the Yuanjun, lay a thousand ingots made of a hundred-tael silver note.

Granny Li filled the gilded copper basin with fish and dragon patterns with amber-colored fragrant soup made from mugwort leaves and locust branches. Ten gold melon seeds inlaid with rubies floated on the surface of the water, and the rim of the basin was covered with a silk tapestry cloth newly woven by the royal family.

The grand scale of the baby's third-day celebration revealed its immense wealth.

The old doctor chuckled and stroked his beard, "Only this is worthy of my grandson, the old doctor."
