The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

MD

Su Fuying cursed inwardly. Having to kneel even without entering the palace was simply unbearable.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: 'The nation's benevolence and the well-being of its people are paramount. You, Ren Long, the second son of Grand Tutor, possess boundless virtue and compassion, generously donating gold and grain to provide famine relief and aid the Emperor beyond what is already received, thus enriching the starving and destitute. I truly commend you. Therefore, I hereby bestow upon you the position of Registrar of the Imperial Secretariat, and grant you this imperial decree. The people are prosperous and the land abundant, with no one left behind. Every household is well-off, and the Emperor's favor is not abused. This is to commend your loyalty and integrity, and to encourage good customs. This decree is hereby issued."

"Long live my emperor."

After everyone shouted and stood up, Su Fuying noticed that the Regent was standing on horseback, and only his guards dismounted to receive the imperial decree. He didn't even have to dismount.

Wow, I'm a little envious, what should I do?

Ren Long could not hide his joy at this moment, and his face showed a smug look.

Su Fuying understood and was granted an official position, but wasn't he just a minor official before? This was a leap in rank, why was he so happy?

Gu Qibai then walked to the side and explained to her, "Ren Long was originally a principal officer in the Ministry of Revenue, an eighth-rank official. In just one month, he has been promoted directly to the seventh rank."

He jumped three ranks from the eighth rank to the seventh rank. No wonder he's so happy; after all, some people never get promoted in their entire lives.

"Your Highness, the registrar has donated a considerable amount of silver for this disaster relief effort, and His Majesty has commended him. I hope Your Highness will spare him this time for His Majesty's sake."

Hearing what Eunuch Gao said, Ren Long became even more emboldened and even gave him a slightly provocative look, as if he now had a get-out-of-jail-free card.

The Regent just sneered, tightened the reins, and turned to leave. Eunuch Gao had just breathed a sigh of relief when... *whoosh*.

Something warm sprayed onto his neck, followed by Ren Long's scream.

Turning his head, he saw that Ren Long, who had just been looking smug, was now in pain, lying on the ground clutching his severed arm and rolling around howling in agony.

"He paid back with one arm and one leg; he made a profit." The icy tone added a chill to the sweltering summer heat.

After speaking, the man flicked his whip and galloped away.

Wow. Wow.

So handsome.

Su Fuying had just thought the Regent had really compromised, but she didn't expect him to know that Ren Hu had broken someone else's hand. It seems that the Regent is not as inhuman as the rumors suggest.

However, with just one arrow, he actually shattered Ren Long's arm and also smashed the head of the little horse that Gao Gonggong was riding.

But what did the little horse do wrong?

"Regent, you, you are simply lawless."

After regaining his composure, Eunuch Gao looked in the direction the Regent had left with a trembling voice. His actions were undoubtedly a challenge to the Emperor's authority; shooting his horse to death was tantamount to rubbing the Emperor's face in the dirt.

The only response he received was the chirping of cicadas. Finally, people from the Grand Tutor's mansion came and carried the two young masters back.

The eunuch, Gao, angrily borrowed a horse from a nearby restaurant and returned to the palace to report.

Su Fuying was all prepared to kill everyone and change identities today, but she didn't expect it to be resolved so easily.

After Su Fuying and Gu Qibai returned to Renhe Hall, they noticed his right shoulder, which had limited mobility, and frowned. They then led him to an inner room.

Although she didn't need Gu Qibai to help at the time, he did it out of good intentions, and ultimately it was all because of her.

"Take off your clothes, let me take a look at you." Su Fuying's voice was calm and unremarkable, without any unusual emotion, which made Gu Qibai feel a little embarrassed.

......

Why are all these men so awkward? Besides, she's a man now, there's absolutely no need for her to be so shy!

“We’re all men, what’s there to be shy about?” After saying that, she glanced at Gu Qibai again and continued, “In the eyes of us doctors, what distinction is there between genders?”

These words made Gu Qibai feel somewhat ashamed. In the end, he still unbuttoned half of his clothes, revealing most of his body, and turned his face to the side.

Looking at those fair shoulders, the delicate skin is almost as good as hers. Although she usually looks thin, her muscle definition is just as good.

A dark bruise stood out starkly against her fair skin, yet it possessed a unique charm.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Fuying suddenly came to her senses and felt a little embarrassed by her thoughts.

Ever since she saw that man naked, she found herself unconsciously comparing everyone she saw to him.

She shook her head, trying to banish these strange thoughts from her mind.

Carefully apply the ointment to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and then gently massage it in.

Feeling the warmth on his shoulder, and smelling a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from Fusu, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at him for some reason.

The man was focused on his work. Looking at his profile, Gu Qibai suddenly had a strange thought, but how could that be?

She quickly turned her head away, but her neck and the area below her ears turned uncontrollably red.

About half an hour later, the two came out one after the other. Gu Qibai looked at the child on the bed and couldn't help but ask Su Fuying a question.

"Fusu, could you tell me how you were able to stop the bleeding so quickly and save his leg?"

Su Fuying looked at the light in his eyes and understood that this principle was very simple, but difficult for these ancient people to comprehend.

However, since he asked, she saw no need to hide anything and answered truthfully: "Actually, it's not hard to understand. First, he didn't injure the major artery in his leg, so there wouldn't be a lot of bleeding; second, because he is thin, his blood vessels are naturally much smaller than normal, and the blood flow is relatively slow. Therefore, although the wound is deep, the amount of bleeding is not much. I first used silver needles to seal his acupoints to prevent death from excessive blood loss."

Su Fuying continued, mixing the ointment in her hand, "He's still young and recovers quickly. We'll use the Blood-Thread Vine Ball with the Regeneration Ointment later, and the rotten flesh will grow back soon."

"Life-restoring ointment?"

Gu Qibai considered himself to be quite knowledgeable. Blood vine was a medicinal herb from the Western Regions, which could replenish blood and energy. Fresh ones were more effective, but most of the ones transported to the capital were dried.

As for the life-restoring ointment that Su Fuying mentioned, he had never even heard of it.

Oh, right, Su Fuying belatedly realized, "This is a kind of ointment that I mixed myself when I had nothing else to do. It has the effect of regenerating flesh and blood."

As he spoke, he took a white porcelain bottle from his bosom. Gu Qibai picked it up and smelled it for a moment. "This is... Purple Ganoderma? Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf? And Jade Marrow Flower?"

Su Fuying was slightly surprised as he recounted the medicinal herbs inside.

"Can you smell these medicinal herbs?"
