I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 64 Medicine Pack
Xiao Jingfan raised his hand: "No need to be polite, please take a seat."

Immediately, a young eunuch brought a chair, put two layers of cushions on the seat, and helped Duke Zhao sit down.

Duke Zhao had just been beaten with a stick, so even if the chair was cushioned, how could he sit comfortably?
But when he thought that this was a grace from His Majesty, he gritted his teeth and sat firmly even though he was grimacing.

Mr. Zhao, standing in the crowd, had tears in his eyes.

Father, you have suffered a lot for the entire Duke's Mansion!
All the ministers looked at each other.

Judging from your majesty's attitude, the Zhao family's recovery is inevitable. In the future, I have to let my wife spend more time with the other women in the Zhao family.

Nongyun Garden.

After Chu Liuzheng woke up, he solved his physiological problem with the help of Caiyue, then lay back on the bed and watched the system's live text broadcast.

[As expected of a Jinyiwei, you cornered someone on the bed late at night and used threats and inducements. Thank you, sir, for your ability! ]

[Oh my, Duke Zhao is still as sharp as ever, punching left and right, blood is drawn, well done! ]

[It's a posthumous honor. No matter how much you honor the dead, they won't know about it, so you can only comfort the living. However, judging from the tyrant's attitude, is he going to appoint the Duke of Zhao? ]

[That’s right. It’s okay to put such a useful knife aside for three years to sharpen its blade, but why would you really throw it away? ]

Chu Liuzheng thought as he pulled it down.

[I should be able to find gossip about which family gave gifts to the Duke of Zhao's Mansion in the future, right? The Duke of Zhao's Mansion is a rare and honest noble family in the entire capital. I hope they won't become arrogant and go astray in the future. ]

[Hmm? Liu Gang's corruption case was settled two days ago.]

[Let me take a look. One, two, three, four, five, six... The tyrant gave ten people, and I found four more. They are all on the system list, so all fourteen are here. Tsk tsk, isn't this quite capable? You usually pretend to be confused? ]

[A young eunuch in the pharmacy said that he encountered a ghost in the middle of the night... Why did he encounter a ghost again? Are the ghosts having a party in the palace? ]

[Oh~ So there was a thief. He just touched the medicine and was discovered by the eunuch. He didn't steal any medicine. ]

Chu Liuzheng was not even interested in taking a look at who the little eunuch and the little thief were, and continued to read the gossip below.

[Hey, this is interesting. The ministers are planning to send beauties to the tyrant again. They are all from the family, and they only choose those with gentle and docile temperaments. ]

[Tsk tsk, with so many beauties, the Tyrant will not have kidney deficiency, right? Should I remind Sister Moxiang to prepare some warming and kidney-tonifying tea for the Tyrant? ]

[What a pity, why is there no picture? ]

[Wow! What a train of thought! How can they be called officials of the same dynasty? Their methods of sending beauties are similar. Some plan to meet by chance in the Imperial Garden, some plan to perform at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and... um... it's not a good idea to take a bath together right away, right?]

Chu Liuzheng was just about to click to see how bathing together was done when there was a knock on the half-open door.

It's Xiaoxiazi.

Chu Liuzheng turned around in surprise: "Why are you here so early?"

"Doctor Wu sent me to deliver medicine to Wenhua Palace. I thought it was on the way, so I brought the medicine that the young lady wanted." Xiao Xiazi put a large medicine bag on the table and asked with concern, "Does the young lady feel better today?"

"Much better." Chu Liuzheng smiled and waved his hand, "Look, the gauze is not as thick as it was yesterday."

In fact, it was painful, but Chu Liuzheng didn't want Xiao Xiazi and the others to worry, so he endured it.

Xiao Xiazi glanced at her pale face and didn't poke her.

He smiled and said, "His Majesty has specifically instructed the Imperial Hospital to pick up good medicine for the young lady to use. I guarantee that there won't be any scars on the young lady's hands."

Chu Liuzheng was slightly surprised. The tyrant also ordered this?

[By the way, I am still a tea-serving maid, and I will have to serve under the tyrant's nose in the future. If my hands are scarred, how bad will it be to see them in front of the tyrant every day?] She nodded in her heart.

[It is indeed important to master a technology! 】

Xiao Xiazi couldn't stay any longer, so she said goodbye, "Take good care of the girl, I have to go back to the Imperial Hospital to report, so I'm leaving now."

"Thank you for sending the medicine." Chu Liuzheng said with a smile, "I'm fine here. There's a lot of work in the pharmacy. You and Qiaoru don't have to think about coming to see me all the time. If there's anything, I'll send someone to look for you."

If she always comes here, nothing will happen to her, but Xiao Xia Zi and Xia Qiao Ru will probably be punished.

Xiao Xiazi nodded: "I'll go back and tell Miss Qiaoru."

As for whether to come or not, it all depends on personal sentiment.

Caiyue pushed the door open after Xiao Xiazi left. She saw the medicine bag on the table and thought it was the medicine Chu Liuzheng was going to take, so she took it and boiled it.

Chu Liuzheng hurriedly called her, "Wait, open the medicine package first."

Caiyue looked back at her and opened the box as she said.

I saw that there were two small medicine bags inside the big medicine bag.

Chu Liuzheng didn't call for a stop, so she continued to open the small medicine bag.

Even though she didn't know medicine, she could tell that the medicinal materials in the two small medicine bags were very different.

Chu Liuzheng said, "Bring the one with black plums here so I can have a look."

Caiyue recognized Wumei. She took a closer look and took the medicine package containing Wumei to the bedside to show Chu Liuzheng.

Chu Liuzheng stretched his neck with difficulty to take a few glances. After finding that the herbs were all correct, he said, "I see that your cough has not been cured. I think the medicine you took is not suitable for you. This is the prescription I used when I was at home. It can moisten the lungs and relieve cough."

"This is Scrophularia, this is Ophiopogon, that is Platycodon, you should know Licorice and Prunus mume."

"Every day, take 2 liang of Scrophularia, 2 liang of Ophiopogon, 5 qian of Prunus mume, 1 liang of Platycodon grandiflorum, and 3 qian of Licorice, and boil them together to drink as tea."

"Scrophulariaceae is sweet and cold, and can nourish yin and produce body fluids. When paired with Ophiopogon japonicus, it can clear and moisten dryness. Platycodon grandiflorum can open the lungs and eliminate phlegm, and it is more effective when paired with licorice. I see that you have to drink water several times in a quarter of an hour, and you have a dry cough with little phlegm, and some qi reversal. I think it is the right remedy."

Chu Liuzheng lay back down, his eyes curved. "This is enough for you to drink for five or six days. Try it first. If it still doesn't work, I have another cough prescription here. Let's try it."

Caiyue originally thought that Chu Liuzheng was so cautious because he was worried that someone would tamper with her medicine, but she didn't expect that it was for her and he even asked Xiao Xiazi to prepare the medicine and send it to her.

She curled up her fingers holding the medicine bag, and she couldn't explain the feeling in her heart, but her eyes gradually turned red.

Ever since she was punished by His Majesty to soak in the Moon Pond, no imperial physician was willing to treat her. The medicine she took was based on what the pharmacist said was good for cough relief, and she paid the pharmacist for the medicine, but none of them worked.

In this way, not only did I spend a lot of money, but all I bought were old medicines from previous years, some of which were infested with insects, so their efficacy was naturally greatly reduced.

The medicines in the medicine bags are all of excellent quality, and you can tell at a glance that they are this year's new medicines.

Seeing that she lowered her head and didn't speak, Chu Liuzheng tilted his head to look at her, and saw two lines of tears sliding down the girl's face, wetting the fluff around her collar.

"Hey, don't cry. Am I talking too late?"

Chu Liuzheng couldn't figure out Caiyue's thoughts, so he explained softly.

"I'm not a doctor, and I don't know what prescription is right for you, so I don't dare to give you medicine randomly. I've carefully observed you for several days, and I dare to tell you that it's basically right for you. If you're worried, then don't take it, and just put it in the cupboard."
