A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

The antidote was ready, but the experiment would take a few more days, so Qin Suiyou didn't rush to tell Prince An and his wife.

Having somehow heard that Qin Suiyou had finished making the antidote, Li Yuanyuan rushed to Wutong Courtyard to ask for his advice. While Qin Suiyou was teaching her, a little creature kept darting around at her feet.

Looking at Yunduo, who had finally stopped but was now scratching at his trouser leg with her paws, Qin Suiyou felt a little helpless. For some reason, Li Yuanyuan was afraid of dogs. Even Yunduo, a puppy that was only two months old, made her heart tremble. When Qin Suiyou was about to pick Yunduo up, she almost ran away.

Seeing Li Yuanyuan's cowardly appearance, Qin Suiyou didn't hug Yunduo, but still let the clingy Yunduo walk around his feet. He found it quite amusing to watch Li Yuanyuan's fearful yet determined appearance.

At this moment, Lan Ya, who had been watching from the side, came over.

"Zhengjun, how about I carry Yunduo over first and wipe it off while I'm at it? It accidentally fell into the flowerbed and got some mud on it."

Qin Suiyou glanced at Li Yuanyuan, who was looking at him expectantly, and nodded.

"Remember it gently."

Lanya gently picked up Yunduo and curtsied.

"Yes."

Seeing Lan Ya walk away, Li Yuanyuan visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Suiyou, seeing this, asked, "Are you naturally afraid of dogs, or were you scared by them before?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanyuan's expression unconsciously became somewhat unnatural, and she stammered, "It's innate, it's innate."

Seeing that everyone had this expression, Qin Suiyou stopped talking and then returned to the main topic. He finished explaining the remaining pharmacology to Li Yuanyuan, who had finally calmed down, and then let her go back.

It wasn't that Qin Suiyou didn't want to keep her; it's just that he understood Li Yuanyuan's personality. If she gained some new knowledge, she would definitely be eager to try and apply it. This was the kind of student he liked very much.

Afterwards, Qin Suiyou asked Beitang Yan to pack up, and the two left the mansion again. This time, it could be said that they were going back to her parents' home, because they were going to the Qin mansion.

Just as Prince An and Princess An had said, after the imperial court issued the order unilaterally yesterday, someone came to Prince An's residence the next day to deliver the imperial edict to Qin Suiyou. The person delivering the edict was none other than Eunuch Huang, the most trusted eunuch by the emperor's side.

After a series of formulaic preludes, followed by a few words of praise for Qin Suiyou's character, it was said that he was capable of undertaking important tasks and should not be let down. He was then ordered to take charge of receiving the envoys from the northern regions who would arrive in Yejing in half a month.

After accepting the imperial decree respectfully, Eunuch Huang offered a few perfunctory congratulatory words and even said he would check on Beitang Yan's recovery progress for the Emperor. Fortunately, he was in the front courtyard at the time, because sending someone back to report from the scene would be too conspicuous. So Qin Suiyou used some special methods to send a message to Lu Yu in the Wutong Courtyard, asking him to inform Beitang Yan to make preparations as soon as possible.

Therefore, when Eunuch Huang arrived, he saw Beitang Yan lying on the couch with a pale face. When he spoke to him, he heard a hint of naivety and simplicity that he had never heard before. Eunuch Huang looked sad and regretful. Then he comforted Prince An and his wife and Qin Suiyou, saying things like, "It would be best if he could wake up." He seemed to be sincere, but he knew exactly what he was thinking.

In addition, because Eunuch Huang arrived with an imperial edict and made quite a grand entrance, and the journey from the palace to the Prince An's residence was not short, the news had spread throughout Ye City. Therefore, today, Qin Suiyou had to act like a "newbie" suddenly taking on a heavy responsibility and hurriedly return to her family home for help.

Because he wanted outsiders to know, Qin Suiyou asked Chen Xiaodong, the carriage driver he already knew well, to bring the carriage to the gate a little later. He stood at the gate of the Prince An's mansion for a while and waited. During this time, some bold people came up to him and asked what he was going to do outside the mansion.

Qin Suiyou deliberately feigned some difficulty in answering a few questions, and Lu Xi added fuel to the fire. The story then spread like wildfire, and it remains to be seen how it will end up in the ears of certain people with ulterior motives.

Upon arriving at the Qin residence by carriage, Qin Suiyou noticed that Qin Siheng seemed somewhat distracted, so he asked, "Are Uncle and Aunt at home?"

Qin Siheng replied subconsciously, "Father is busy at the Ministry of Rites, and Mother went out to inspect the shops; they haven't returned yet."

Seeing that Qin Siheng was still in a daze, Qin Suiyou asked directly, "What's wrong? Did you get into trouble again?"

"I didn't cause any trouble!"

After retorting, Qin Siheng finally snapped out of his reverie, rubbed his hands together at his sides, and leaned closer to Qin Suiyou before whispering, "My brother just came back, and he brought someone with him. I have a feeling that person is a bit strange."

"Really? What is it?"

"that is……"

Qin Siheng frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "That person was filthy, like a little beggar, but his skin seemed very white, and his eyes looked timid like a little white rabbit. But when I looked into his eyes, I felt that his eyes gave me a feeling that I couldn't quite describe."

After listening to Qin Siheng's fragmented description, Qin Suiyou smiled and said, "Your description is quite interesting. But when did your brother develop the habit of bringing people back?"

"It's all because he went to Hongde Academy today."

As they were talking, Qin Siheng caught sight of Qin Sizhe and said, "Let him tell you himself."

Upon hearing the conversation, Qin Sizhe turned around and nodded to Qin Suiyou.

Upon arriving at the main hall, the group sat down. Before Qin Sizhe could say anything, Qin Suiyou got straight to the point.

"I heard you brought someone back. What's the story?"

Seeing Qin Suiyou's curious expression, Qin Sizhe immediately understood what was going on. He glanced at Qin Siheng and then spoke slowly in a gentle voice.

“I went to Hongde Academy to ask Master Kong some questions. On my way back, my carriage hit someone. He was seriously injured and didn’t seem to have any relatives or friends. I was worried about leaving him with someone else, so I thought I would bring him back.”

Qin Suiyou nodded and said, "Shall I go and take a look?"

"Being not."

Qin Sizhe shook his head.

"I sent someone to fetch a doctor on the way back. He should be here soon. Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about you."

Not understanding Qin Sizhe's meaning, Qin Suiyou stopped paying attention.

"I just received an imperial edict. I come from a humble background and have a narrow perspective. I am very apprehensive and have no choice but to come to my uncle for help."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sizhe smiled.

"I see. I'm sorry to trouble you, but my father has been very busy with official duties lately and has been staying at the yamen for several days. I'm afraid he may not be able to help."

Qin Suiyou looked troubled and lowered his eyes, saying, "It seems that fate is against me and is destined to make things difficult for me."

Having witnessed the conversation between the two, Qin Siheng turned his head with the speaker, gradually frowning again, his doubts growing ever stronger.

"Father is busy, but he will definitely come back if my cousin has something to do. How could fate be against my cousin's wishes?"

Listening to Qin Siheng's inappropriate remarks, Qin Sizhe looked at his clueless younger brother and sighed helplessly. Qin Suiyou, on the other hand, glanced at Beitang Yan and smiled.
