371 Prescription
Lin Suisui only found out after seeing Lu Ze that night that he actually already knew about this.
“Do you want the fourth prince to be the chief priest this year?” Lin Suisui held her chin and asked Lu Ze as she looked at the new annotations on her book.
She had also thought about the best arrangent for this matter this afternoon. The fourth prince out was the best candidate.
After all, this was a rare opportunity to win people’s hearts. The fourth prince would definitely like it.
“Why did you think of giving him this opportunity?” Lu Ze looked up curiously at Lin Suisui, who had her head lowered.
Lin Suisui didn’t look up, so she naturally didn’t see the surprise in Lu Ze’s eyes. As she turned a page of the book in her hand, she said, “Isn’t this like giving a carrot and a stick?”
Previously, when they dealt with the Gu and Lin families, he didn’t ask the fourth prince for his opinion. Although Pei Qian had already suppressed this matter at that ti, the fourth prince was definitely unhappy about it.
At this mont, there was an opportunity to win people’s hearts. If they gave the opportunity to the fourth prince appeared, there was a high chance that they would be able to offsdt the matter of offending him previously.
“By the way, there’s sothing I might need your help with.” Lu Ze couldn’t help but laugh. As he laughed, he thought of sothing and slowly walked over to sit beside Lin Sui.
“What?” Lin Suisui looked up at Lu Ze curiously. Seeing his serious expression, she beca nervous. “Did the poison in your body make you uncomfortable again?”
“No, it’s the poison in the Fourth Prince’s body.” Lu Ze looked at the little girl who was taking his pulse seriously as he said in a gentle tone, “Pei Qian helped him find a few doctors previously, but none of them could help.
Because of this matter, the Fourth Prince’s temper has been getting worse and worse these past few days. Therefore, in order to let him calm down and not harm others, Pei Qian found an expert who was good at jumping to atone for his cris from the prison of the Imperial City governnt.”
“Pfft… Cough, cough.” Lin Suisui couldn’t help but laugh. She felt that it was inappropriate to laugh at this mont, so she coughed twice and suppressed the urge to laugh. Then, she turned to Lu Ze and said, “Pei Qian intends to help the Fourth Prince detoxify the poison?”
“No.” Lu Ze shook his head and deliberated for a mont before explaining to Lin Sui, “He wants you to see if there’s a way to keep him hopeful without detoxifying the poison.”
“Oh, that’s fine.” Lin Suisui understood what he ant and she nodded with certainty. “However, the dicine might taste bad.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s best if it can be made into pills.” What did it have to do with him? Lu Ze didn’t care that the dicine might taste bad.
Lin Suisui nodded in understanding. “Alright, I’ll make it in the next two days.”
Since there was no need to consider the taste, then…
Lin Suisui turned around and asked Lu Ze tentatively, “Then, what if there are side effects?”
“Pei Qian said that as long as we can make him believe that there’s hope of treatnt and keep him alive until he returns to the capital, it’s up to you.”
Lu Ze reached out and pinched Lin Sui’s nose gently. He knew what she was thinking, but he condoned her.
After receiving Lu Ze’s response, Lin Suisui had an idea. Therefore, she prepared quickly. In less than two to three days, she prepared what Pei Qian needed.
“This pill can relieve the poison for three days at a ti.” Lin Suisui placed the porcelain bottle on the table and introduced it to Pei Qian, who was sitting in front of her, “If you want to use it again in the future, you have to wait at least seven days.
“This pill doesn’t taste very good, so you have to get soone to persuade the Fourth Prince. As the saying goes, good dicine tastes bitter. Let him endure it.”
“That’s it?” Pei Qian put down the teacup in his hand. Although he wasn’t in a hurry to reach for the porcelain bottle, he didn’t hide his curiosity. After all, based on his understanding of Lin Suisui and with what the Fourth Prince had done to her, she probably wanted to tear the Fourth Prince into pieces.
Now that there was a chance to teach him a lesson, the little girl in front of him actually let it go so easily?
“The herbal properties conflict. After all, this dicine is not an antidote, so it’s better to use it less.” Lin Suisui looked at Pei Qian as she spoke calmly.
“Then what if it’s used often?” Pei Qian could tell that Lin Suisui was implying sothing.
“He’ll be completely crippled.” Lin Suisui said with a smile. Although she spoke gently, Pei Qian felt a little unnerved. Lin Suisui said, “Even if the real antidote is found, it won’t help.”
“How sinister…” Pei Qian swallowed his next words and said in a more roundabout manner, “Where did you get such a powerful thing, Madam Liu?”
“This prescription was made by a country doctor from the southwest.” Lin Suisui didn’t hide the origin of this poison prescription. She took the teacup Lu Ze handed her and took a sip before saying, “That country girl doctor was born into a famous pharmaceutical family and obtained impressive dical skills at a very young age.
However, she had married an inhumane man.
That husband had a sanctimonious appearance, but he was actually a hypocrite. He used the country girl doctor’s family’s wealth to study for the Imperial Examination. In the end, he relied on the country girl doctor’s dowry to find a good job.
However, once people beca greedy, they wouldn’t be able to restrain themselves.
After her husband entered the bureaucracy, he was unwilling to just be a county magistrate. At that ti, the daughter of a powerful minister in the capital had taken a fancy to him. Unfortunately, he had already married the country girl doctor at that ti, and the country girl doctor was already pregnant. He obtained everything he had now through the country girl doctor, so if he abandoned the country girl doctor now, he would beco infamous.
Moreover, he was unwilling to ruin his reputation just because of this.
However, he was unwilling to give up on this opportunity to climb up. Therefore, he thought of a foolproof plan.”
“He planned to murder his wife?” At this point, even if Lin Suisui didn’t continue, Lu Ze, who was sitting at the side, could tell what she was going to say next. “But if he really murders his wife, no one will be able to protect him if he gets exposed one day!”
