182 I Want to Rest for a Few Days

“Head Manager Gu, You forgot your new year’s money!” Huang Rongfa leaned against the door. After he shouted this sentence, he laughed with everyone in An Pharmacy.

“Lady Gu still has a way. She can shut Gu Yi’s mouth with just a few words!” Lil’ Qi said with admiration.

“I never planned to work under Gu Yi. If Shopkeeper Huang runs into any trouble with him in the future, you can just kick him out. There’s no need to be polite to him,” Gu Qingxue urged.

“Okay, I know what to do. Lady Gu, you’re awake just in time. I’ve already helped you find all the medicinal herbs you asked for.” Huang Rongfa raised his hand and made an inviting gesture. “Let’s talk in the back hall.”

Gu Qingxue nodded. The two of them led Lil’ Qi and another attendant holding a tray to the back hall.

Huang Rongfa went straight to the main map and gave the attendant a look. “These are the six medicinal herbs you asked me to find, Lady Gu. It cost a total of 2,600 taels.”

Gu Qingxue checked the medicinal herbs one by one and said with a satisfied smile, “The price is much lower than I thought. Thank you for your trouble, Shopkeeper Huang. I’ll bring the banknote tomorrow.”

These medicinal herbs that could be bought with silver were nothing to her.

“These are all trivial matters. Lady Gu, Gu Yi suffered a setback on our side today. He won’t let it go after he goes back,” said Huang Rongfa worriedly.

“I also want to discuss this matter with Shopkeeper Huang. I’ve been attending consultations for the past few days, and I don’t have time to accompany my family. It just so happens that I want to take this opportunity to rest for a few days,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.

It just so happened that she had obtained the medicinal herbs. It was time for her to go back and concoct the antidote for her grandmother.

“Okay. Then, Lady Gu, you can wait until tomorrow to go back and rest for a few days,” Huang Rongfa agreed immediately.

After Gu Qingxue agreed, she left the back hall and went to the front hall for a consultation.

The next day, after Gu Qingxue gave the banknote to Huang Rongfa, she went to the yamen after only half a day of consultation.

With the jade dragon pendant given by Rong Zhan, Gu Qingxue saw Fu Cheng without any hindrance.

In the front hall, Gu Qingxue had just taken two sips of tea when she saw Fu Cheng rushing over.

Gu Qingxue stood up and greeted Fu Cheng with a smile, “I’m sorry to trouble you with my sudden visit.”

Fu Cheng quickly waved his hand, “No worries. Lady Gu is the young prince’s savior. I’m under the care of the prince regent, so I don’t dare to be presumptuous.”

“Since the county master already knows everything, I’ll be straightforward. I’d like to ask the county master to pass a letter to the prince for me,” Gu Qingxue said, he took out the letter he had written last night and handed it to Fu Cheng.

Fu Cheng hurriedly took the envelope with a wax stamp, and carefully put away the letter. Lady Gu, rest assured, I will do it.”

Gu Qingxue said with a smile, “It is best to ask the secret guards by the prince’s side to send it over. Once there is a reply, please ask the secret guards to send it to the courtyard, and do not hand over others.”

Although Gu Qingxue did not say it, she could feel that Rong Zhan’s secret guards had always been by her side. These secret guards should have been working here at Fu Cheng’s place. It was definitely right for her to give the letter to him.

Fu Cheng hurriedly agreed and watched Gu Qingxue leave.

For the next five days, Gu Qingxue shut herself in. She sent Madam Qi’s blood sample to the research institute for various analyses, and finally determined that the Qi family had been poisoned by a lethal poison called Raw Bitter Grass.

After confirming what kind of poison Madam Qi had been poisoned by, Gu Qingxue immediately told Nanny Sheng the results of her analysis after breakfast.

However, she did not tell Nanny Sheng about the whole process, only the final results.
