A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off
Chapter 344 Mid-Autumn Festival
He Chengjing paused for a moment after hearing Song Zhili's suggestion. It would be very dangerous for them to go to Northern Qi now, and it was already August. If they went, they would definitely not be able to spend the New Year in the capital.
Previously, He Chengjing hadn't spent much of the New Year with Mu Liuxin and He Zhixuan. This year, since he was passing through the capital, he still wanted to spend the New Year there.
He Chengjing thought of this and shared his idea with Song Zhili. Song Zhili agreed, as the New Year was just a few months away. If they set off for Northern Qi now, they would indeed not be able to celebrate the New Year in the capital.
She hadn't spent the New Year in Beijing either. Her family was all in Beijing this year. After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "That's true. Let's wait until after the New Year to talk about it. By the way, A-Jing, you should send someone to check that village again. We can go there directly then."
He Chengjing nodded. After they finished talking, Song Zhili asked Qingshuang to go back to the courtyard first. Then, Song Zhili asked Qingzhu to take her to Qingfeng's room. After arriving at his room, Song Zhili sent Qingfeng out from her spatial dimension and put him on the bed.
"He's still under the effects of the medication, so he won't wake up so quickly. You stay here and watch over him. Once he wakes up, check on his condition and then come back to tell me."
After giving her instructions, Song Zhili and He Chengjing left first. Back in the courtyard, Song Zhili and He Chengjing sat down. Servants brought some tea and snacks. Song Zhili took out the book on Gu poison and began to read it carefully.
He Chengjing, meanwhile, was drinking tea on the side, glancing at Song Zhili every now and then.
In the evening, Qingzhu came to report that Qingfeng had woken up, but he still looked dazed. No matter what she said or did, he kept his head down and didn't speak or look anywhere.
There was no response. When Song Zhili and He Chengjing heard this, they also felt that his symptoms were too strange. Even if someone had cast a curse on him, why would they cast such a curse on him? It seems that nothing has happened, he just seems to have gone stupid, but nothing else.
There is also a possibility that the poison has not yet manifested. Thinking of this, Song Zhili looked at Qingzhu and said, "These next few days, you should observe Qingfeng's movements in the courtyard. If he shows any unusual behavior, you should report to him immediately."
"Yes."
Qingzhu responded and then withdrew.
After he left, Song Zhili looked at He Chengjing and said, "This is too strange. Do you think I should ask Cui Xiaodie? After all, she knows about this kind of thing?"
When Song Zhili thought of Cui Xiaodie, who was still under house arrest, He Chengjing's face immediately flashed with impatience, and even some hatred.
"Don't provoke her. It's not worth it if she does something to you again."
When Song Zhili saw that He Chengjing was unwilling to let her see her, she gave up on the idea. She thought that even if she went to see her, if He Chengjing knew her purpose, she probably wouldn't tell her the truth. Perhaps He Chengjing would say something else to deceive her.
Having thought of this, she lost the idea of seeing Cui Xiaodie.
Meanwhile, Cui Xiaodie, whom they were talking about, was lying in bed, looking haggard. Ever since Song Zhili gave her that medicine powder, her health had been deteriorating day by day. Although He Chengjing had confined her to her quarters, he hadn't stopped her from seeing a doctor or anything like that.
So, over the past month, she has consulted several doctors, but none of them could diagnose her specific health problem. Cui Xiaodie knew that it must be related to the medicine powder she had taken, but now she was in this state.
Asking Song Zhili to let him go would be harder than climbing to heaven.
Having figured this out, she lay in bed all day, losing the will to live.
Seeing Cui Xiaodie becoming increasingly depressed, Xiaoyue and Xiaorong were at a loss. They had already found a doctor and ensured she received the same amount of food every day.
They had no choice but to serve Cui Xiaodie diligently every day.
Days passed by, and before they knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the month. Song Zhili, Xia Momo, and He Miaomiao had arranged to go boating on the lake together.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets are bustling with activity. When He Chengjing and Song Zhili were about to go out, He Mengling, knowing that they were going out to play, ran up to them and wanted to go with them.
Song Zhili knew that He Mengling was currently in a playful mood, and it was too much trouble for her to stay locked up in the mansion all day. Anyway, they were going boating on the lake today, and He Chengjing was there, so there shouldn't be any danger. Song Zhili agreed.
And so, Song Zhili, He Mengling, and two maids followed along. Qing Shuang naturally went with Song Zhili, but Qing Zhu didn't come; he stayed in the courtyard to watch over Qing Feng.
These days, apart from eating and sleeping, Qingfeng is always the same. He doesn't talk to anyone and just sits there all day, nodding his head repeatedly. Sometimes when Qingzhu sees him like this, she wonders if his neck is tired from doing this all day.
Sometimes, he would go up and hug his head, but he still couldn't control himself. Qingzhu had also told Song Zhili about this, but Song Zhili didn't have any good solutions either.
We can only let him be like this.
Inside the carriage, He Mengling opened the curtains and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, as well as the various lanterns on the stalls on both sides of the street. He Mengling's eyes were dazzled by the sight. Although she had come out with Mu Liuxin in previous years during the festival, they always stayed with Mu Liuxin and several other ladies.
This time was different; this time she was out having fun on her own, so her mood was naturally different.
"Sister-in-law, look how cute that little bunny lamp is! Can I buy one later?"
Song Zhili glanced in the direction He Mengling was pointing and saw a stall with several rabbit-shaped lanterns. Song Zhili immediately told the coachman to stop and then asked Qing Shuang to get off the carriage and buy two.
She handed one to He Mengling and kept the other for herself.
He Mengling was extremely fond of the rabbit lantern, and a smile never left her face. Soon, they arrived at their destination, and the group got off the carriage together.
When Song Zhili came down, she saw Xia Momo standing not far away waiting for her and waving in her direction. Song Zhili also saw Hu Cuicui and Li Shi come out. She quickly walked over with He Mengling and He Chengjing.
"Father, Mother, Grandfather, and Grandmother, you've all come."
Song Zhili stepped forward and looked at them all with delight.
"Hehe, yes, the second brother said that we used to live in Anyang County and had never seen the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital, so he thought of taking us out to have some fun."
When Song Zhili heard Hu Cuicui say this, she nodded in agreement. Song Ziyuan's arrangement was very good.
"Hehe, Mother, I haven't celebrated any festivals in the capital before. Is that the boat we'll be taking later?"
Song Zhili glanced at the lake and saw two painted boats moored there. With so many of them, they would need two boats to fit everyone.
