After returning to the inn, Wei Ting sat on a stool in the room and did not say anything for a long time.
He was in a very low mood.
Thinking of everything that Second Brother had suffered, he wished he could suffer on his behalf.
His three brothers had survived countless hardships. Not for the first time, he wondered why it wasn’t him.
Su Xiaoxiao let Xing’er return to her room to rest. Xing’er looked at the depressed Master and didn’t dare to ask further. She quietly went out.
Wei Ting said, “You heard it just now.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “I heard it.”
Wei Ting paused. “That medicine is taken once a month, but Second Brother’s legs still haven’t recovered. In other words, that’s not the final antidote. It’s just a medicine to delay Second Brother’s condition.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “That should be the case.” “Are you confident in curing Second Brother’s legs?
“I’ll try my best.”
This time, she came to the Western Jin to encounter illnesses that had not been treated before. To her, it was both a training and a considerable challenge. She would do her best.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Speaking of which, Second Brother is really powerful. I now understand that out of the 3,000 guests in the Eldest Prince’s residence,
Second Brother is inferior to no other.”
Second Brother was a real strategist who could rule the world alone. Unfortunately, he had a weak body
Wei Ting sighed softly. “Among us brothers, Eldest Brother’s attainment of martial arts is the highest, Fifth Brother’s archery skills are the best, and Second Brother’s talent is average in the residence. If not for such an event, I
wouldn’t have known that Second Brother had been hiding his talent for so many years.”
Wei Qing restrained his sharpness and did not snatch any of his brothers’ limelight. He was willing to be the unknown second son, a concubine’s son who did not fight for anything.
His family had never treated him as a concubine’s son, but he had always maintained what he thought was appropriate.
Su Xiaoxiao placed her arms on the table and said thoughtfully, “I keep feeling that Second Brother isn’t staying in Western Jin just to treat his illness. Second Brother is playing a very big game of chess.”
Wei Ting also sensed that if it was just to treat illnesses, his second brother did not have to work so hard for the royal family of the Western Jin.
He said, “No matter what, treat Second Brother’s legs first.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, I’ll think of a way. By the way, it’s so late. Are you hungry?
Wei Ting said, “I’m a little hungry.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What do you want to eat?”
Wei Ting said without thinking, “Braised parrot.”
On the branch, Wuhu were speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao remembered Second Brother’s condition. Unfortunately, there was no targeted medicine in the pharmacy for the time being. This was not strange. The pharmacy had followed her from her previous life. In the base in her previous life, no one studied this illness.
It was just like how no one had studied how to treat smallpox in her previous life.
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the medical book and letter left behind by the medicine master of the Western Jin.
It recorded all kinds of poison. Zhuge Qing’s situation could barely be classified as cold poison. She wondered if she could find a related treatment.
Hard work paid off. She really found a similar case at the corner of an inconspicuous page. The situation was roughly the same as Zhuge Qing’s. The reason was that the other party was not as serious as Zhuge Qing.
But there was no harm in giving it a try.
It was just that this prescription was a little confusing.
“I know the first few. What’s the last one?”
It was too old. The name of the herb was already incomplete, but the herbs could barely be recognized.
Su Xiaoxiao secretly remembered the pattern.
Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao compared the prescription in the medical book over and over again. After confirming that there was no snow lotus, she was relieved.
Early the next morning, the young princess came to pick her up as usual.
After she went to check on the young royal prince and change the medicine, she got into the young princess’s carriage and went to the pharmacy to look for the herb.
However, she asked more than ten pharmaceutical shops in a row, but none of the doctors knew it.
The princess sighed. “Qin Su, we’ve searched the largest pharmacy in the West
Capital. If we continue looking, we can only go to the Imperial Physician Department. Are you sure it looks like that?”
“I’m sure,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
“Madam Wei!”
Just as Su Xiaoxiao and the young princess were about to get into the carriage back to the inn, another carriage drove over and stopped in front of them.
The curtain was lifted. Shen Xin smiled and said, “Madam Wei, do you still remember me?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Second Master Shen?”
“It’s me!” Second Master Shen jumped out of the carriage. “What a coincidence.
We meet again. This is…”
He looked at the young princess beside Su Xiaoxiao.
“Can I introduce you?” Su Xiaoxiao asked her.
The voung princess nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Princess Xin of the Imperial Princess’s residence.”
“Command… Commandery Princess?” Second Master Shen hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed. “I’m Shen Xin. Greetings, Commandery Princess Xin!” “There’s no need to be so polite,” the young princess said.
Su Xiaoxiao said to the young princess, ‘We met outside the West Capital.”
Second Master Shen was embarrassed. That was right. He even advised them not to get involved with the Imperial Princess’s Residence…
Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao did not mention the past. Second Master Shen looked at the pharmacy behind her and asked, “Are you here to buy medicine? Are you not feeling well, or is Brother Wei not feeling well?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No. I’m here to help a friend buy herbs. Unfortunately, I asked many pharmaceutical shops but found nothing.”
“What herb? I’ll help you ask around.” Second Master Shen was worried that she wouldn’t believe him and said with a smile, “I’m the son of the Vice President of the Five Elements Business Alliance… I Imow many pharmaceutical merchants from various countries. There are some herbs that can’t be bought in Western Jin. I can get them for you!”
Su Xiaoxiao wouldn’t let go of any hope of finding medicine. She handed him the blueprint. “In that case, I’ll have to trouble Second Master Shen.”
Second Master Shen looked at it seriously, folded it, and placed it into his pocket. “Alright, I’ll go back and ask for you immediately. If I get to the bottom of it, where will I inform you?”
“Moon Chasing Inn.”
After bidding farewell to Second Master Shen, Su Xiaoxiao sent the young Princess of Western Jin back to the princess’s residence.
As soon as they reached the door, Moxie walked over. Beside him was Eunuch He, whom she had seen last time.
Eunuch He smiled politely at Su Xiaoxiao. “Madam Wei, His Majesty invites you and General Wei to the palace as guests. General Wei has already been invited.
Just follow me into the palace.”
In the courtyard, Wei Ting knocked on Zhuge Qing’s courtyard door.
Ah Yuan was cooking in the kitchen. Mei Ji and the assassin left, leaving Zhuge Qing alone in the front yard.
When Zhuge Qing heard the rhythm of knocking on the door, she guessed which Young brat it was.
“Come in,” he said flatly.
Wei Ting pushed the door open and entered. “Second Brother, I’m going to the palace later.”
Zhuge Qing played chess by herself. “You don’t have to greet me.” He didn’t even acknowledge that he was his second brother.
Wei Ting did not care if Second Brother acknowledged him or not. It was enough for him to acknowledge Second Brother. God knew how afraid he was that Second Brother would move away when he woke up.
Wei Ting smiled. “Second Brother, help me take care…”
Zhuge Qing was about to ask what to take care of when he saw Wei Ting let in one, two, and three babies.
Every little packrat held a small milk bottle in their hands with an innocent expression, not knowing what had happened.
Zhuge Qing said coldly, “Take care of your sons…”
Before he could finish, Wei Ting patted the three little ones’ heads. “You have to listen to Uncle, understand?”
With that, he left very coolly.
The three of them grabbed the small milk bottles and came to Zhuge Qing’s side.
Zhuge Qing sighed helplessly and asked, “Have you eaten breakfast?”
The three of them shook their heads.
How did this brat become a father?
Zhuge Qing resisted the urge to capture a certain someone and beat him to death. “There’ll be food later.”
A certain someone was anxious. Dahu and Erhu were not wearing their clothes properly. They were loose and their collars were asymmetrical.
The veins on Zhuge Qing’s forehead throbbed.
He pulled the two little fellows to him and tidied their clothes.
“Uncle, what were you doing just now?”
Xiaohu asked innocently. His clothes were worn by Xinger and were neat.
“Chess, ” Zhuge Qing said.
He could tell the three children apart. “Your name is Xiaohu, right?” Xiaohu nodded. “Yes, I’m Xiaohu!”
What accent was this… Zhuge Qing asked, “You said last time that you know how to play chess?”
Xiaohu nodded with the milk bottle in his mouth.
Zhuge Qing said, “Then play with me.”
Xiaohu grabbed a handful of chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.
“It’s time to play!”
Xiaohu knew how to play!
