Thinking of this, Fan Mushuang also poured herself a cup of wine. After drinking half a cup to calm herself down, she continued, “Anyway, after he was carried back to Marquis Ji’an’s Mansion by his servant and coachman that day, he had a fever not long after, and it has been getting worse.”
“Marquis Ji’an’s Mansion invited many doctors over. The doctors all said that the evil poison entered Marquis Ji’an’s body because of his injuries. They said that they could only do their best and leave it to fate. They were so anxious that Marquis Ji’an’s mother even personally invited Imperial Physician Liang to Marquis Ji’an’s Mansion, but he was helpless.”
“Originally, the residence was about to prepare for his funeral. Unexpectedly, his fever subsided after he used the medicine from their medicine.”
“Father said that Marquis Ji’an’s Mansion can’t hold a funeral, so Mother doesn’t have to prepare for it.”
With that, Fan Mushuang looked at Gu Yanfei with a smile. Her eyes seemed to be saying, What else do you want to know?Hurry up and ask me.
Is this medicine so magical? Gu Yanfei rubbed the wine glass in her hand and asked with interest, “Which clinic?”
Fan Mushuang quickly refilled Gu Yanfei’s wine again. After putting down the wine pot, she pushed open a window facing the street and pointed to the right side of the street. “That’s the clinic.”
“Myriad Herb Hall,” Fan Beiran added, indicating for his sister to refill his wine.
Fan Mushuang ignored her second brother’s request and echoed with a smile, “Yes, it’s the Myriad Herb Hall.”
“This Myriad Herb Hall seems to be new. I remember that the last time I went there, it was a rouge shop. Mother and I even went to buy rouge powder.”
At this point, Fan Mushuang’s smile stiffened slightly.
Later on, she was poisoned by the unlucky Love Gu. She didn’t even know when the rouge shop had become a clinic.
Fan Beiran immediately said, “It opened after the Lantern Festival. It’s only been open for half a month. It’s said to be good at external injuries.”
Because of Fan Mushuang’s “possessed” experience previously, Madam Fan had asked almost all the medical centers in the capital, including this newly opened Myriad Herb Hall.
How could Gu Yuan not see that Gu Yanfei was very interested in the Myriad Herb Hall?
Clap! Clap!
Gu Yuan clapped his hands decisively.
The servant, Wu Tong, who was guarding the entrance of the elegant seat, quickly walked in. He heard Gu Yuan instruct indifferently, “Go to Myriad Herb Hall in front and buy that medicine to treat external injuries and fever.”
Wu Tong received the order and left in a hurry. As soon as the door of the elegant seat opened, the voices in the lobby downstairs came up again. Those drinkers were still talking about a certain scholar who was in love with himself. One moment, they were saying that the scholar was holding a mirror wherever he went. The next moment, they were saying that he had to be praised for being beautiful wherever he went. Otherwise, they wouldn’t let him leave.
They were all just hearsay. The more they spoke, the stranger it became. Even Fan Mushuang was excited to hear it.
Just as someone was talking about Scholar Xue sacrificing himself for his love, Wu Tong returned with a fist-sized porcelain jar.
“Eldest Young Master, Second Lady, I bought the medicine.” Wu Tong carefully held the porcelain jar and sighed in disbelief. “Such a small jar costs 10 taels of silver. It’s a full 10 taels of silver!”
Two taels of silver could allow an ordinary family of three to live for a year.
Fan Mushuang wasn’t very interested in this medicine. Her soul was attracted by the scene depicted by a certain eloquent old man. She heard him sigh and say, “I heard that when that scholar struggled in the water, he was still shouting that he wants to be with himself forever. He begged others not to save him…”
Wu Tong turned a deaf ear to the noise below. He only felt that the small porcelain jar in his hand was heavy. Afraid that it would accidentally break, he carefully presented it to Gu Yanfei.
Wu Tong sighed and said, “This medicine was sold half a month ago. Originally, no one wanted to buy it at this price. However, after Marquis Ji’an used it two days ago, the people who were about to die were forcefully pulled back from the gates of hell. After the matter spread, the people from the Dragon Gate Escort Agency bought it with the thought of giving it a try. Escort Leader Sun, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was also saved by this medicine.”
“Now, there are rumors everywhere in the capital that this is divine medicine. There are a few more people buying it, but ordinary families can’t afford it at all.”
“When I went to the Myriad Herb Hall just now, Manager He from the Ministry of War happened to come over to buy 10 cans.”
As soon as Manager He arrived, there were even more onlookers around the Myriad Herb Hall. After today, the reputation of the Myriad Herb Hall will probably become even greater.
Gu Yuan and Fan Beiran looked at each other and thought of the same thing.
The Ministry of War naturally had to use this medicine in the military..
