I support the army through farming and business.

Chapter 177 Please have pity on me, Madam.
The Ghost Doctor was completely bewildered.

"If the body temperature is too high, it will cause protein denaturation, enzyme inactivation, and cell membrane structure damage, which will lead to systemic dysfunction and seriously endanger life."

He couldn't understand it, but it sounded very sophisticated. The Ghost Doctor humbly asked, "So how do we lower the temperature?"

“You know more about ice packs and acupuncture than I do,” Tang Zhao said, not wanting to show off his limited knowledge in front of an expert. Instead, he directly demonstrated modern high technology: “Alcohol wipes.”

The Ghost Doctor spat out the last chicken bone. "What is alcohol?"

"Alcohol, as the name suggests, is the essence of wine. You can think of it as a high-concentration liquor," Tang Zhao explained in detail. "When you apply alcohol to a patient's body, the alcohol evaporates and takes away the body's heat, and the high fever will naturally subside."

"How much alcohol would that require?"

"It depends on how quickly the patient's fever goes down. If one pot isn't enough, then two pots; if two pots aren't enough, then three pots."

Wow! The Ghost Doctor was shocked. This little girl is really rich and powerful. Do you know how much a flask of strong liquor is worth?
Tang Zhaoyi righteously condemned, "Human life is not worth more than wine? Your ideological awareness is too poor."

The doctor had a spiky mustache.

Gu Ci listened silently for a long time before suddenly asking, "Do you have a recipe for refining alcohol?"

Tang Zhao snapped his fingers and corrected, "There's more than just a prescription."

"So," Tang Zhao asked the Ghost Doctor, bowing slightly, "would you like to cooperate?"

The Ghost Doctor was moved. He had no children or apprentices in his life. After learning that Tang Zhao had killed the old man of the An family with a single sword, he had the idea of ​​taking Tang Zhao as his apprentice.

After all, there are very few people as upright, honest, despicable, and shameless as Tang Zhao; we must not miss this opportunity.

However, Old Man Zhong also had this plan. The Ghost Doctor felt that if he wanted to win over a disciple, he needed to establish a friendly relationship with Tang Zhao before Old Man Zhong did, so he readily nodded and said, "I will listen to you."

"Great!" Tang Zhao pointed to Gu Ci beside him, "Let's completely cure his poison first."

Ghost Doctor:.
After all that fuss, was the ultimate goal still to save the man?

Despite the stares of the two men, one old and one young, Tang Zhao remained outwardly calm but inwardly wept bitterly: How difficult was it for her to gain life points from the system!
Gu Ci looked moved. He wanted to say something, but with the Ghost Doctor present, his lips moved for a long time. In the end, he could only keep his gratitude in his heart.

The three squatted on the spot, debating for a long time whether to detoxify there or after returning to Wuwei. In the end, they unanimously decided to detoxify on the way back to Wuwei.

After Tang Zhao and Gu Ci finished eating the roast chicken, they waited for a full hour before the Ghost Doctor, carrying large and small bags, finally emerged from the pharmacy.

Gu Ci stepped forward and took the bundle. The Ghost Doctor didn't stand on ceremony and gave him all the heavy and bulky items, then gave Tang Zhao a small basket, saying, "A little gift for meeting you."

Tang Zhao:.
I thought you had already given me the gift in Wuwei City.

"Ahem!" the Ghost Doctor said awkwardly, "I was afraid you wouldn't dare to return to the capital, so I deliberately provoked you."

Hehe, Tang Zhao, out of respect for the elderly and love for the young, did not argue with him. He lifted the floral cloth covering the basket and saw a small white tiger with a tiger-like head.

Wow! Tang Zhao's eyes are sparkling, so cute!
"I found it in the woods," the Ghost Doctor said proudly, stroking his beard. "It looks quite clever. I'll give it to you as a pet. When it grows up, it can guard the house."

The little tiger, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sunlight. He stood up groggily, stepped on his front paws with his hind paws, and fell into the basket with a thud.

Tang Zhao: What did you just say?
The Ghost Doctor avoided questioning glances and walked outside, playing his flute.

Tang Zhao covered the tiger with the floral cloth again, and the little tiger, which had been meowing, suddenly yawned, closed its eyes, and fell asleep, even snoring softly.

Yes, she's beautiful and sleeps well.

Tang Zhao was very satisfied, skipping and hopping along behind, chattering incessantly like a lark. The Ghost Doctor smiled outwardly but was inwardly smug: Old Zhong, let's see how you try to steal my apprentice!
On the official road, Wu Yier stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to peer into the woods.

"Don't bother, the fog in the forest never lifts, you can't see anything at all," said Dr. Zhong, leaning against the carriage with his hands in his pockets. "Just wait, they'll come out sooner or later."

Wu Yi'er was very resentful. Since everyone was from the Protectorate General's Mansion, why couldn't they sit together and have a proper chat instead of drugging and kidnapping the girl?

After waking up and discovering the girl was missing, he and his third brother were both considering committing suicide to atone for their sins!
"She's out! She's out!" Wu Bing shouted, "Girl!"

Chao Yi, standing beside him, also shouted excitedly, "Master! Princess!"

After the three of them emerged from the thick fog, Chao Yi stepped forward and took the large and small bags from Gu Ci's body, asking in a low voice, "Master, are you alright? Why do you look so pale?"

Dr. Zhong glanced at Gu Ci, "You gave him the antidote?"

The Ghost Doctor hummed in agreement. Doctor Zhong seemed to want to say something, but he held back, snorted coldly, and turned to get into the carriage.

Tang Zhao frowned; the old man's temper was getting worse and worse.

"Hey, girl, don't mind him. Old Zhong was like this when he was young, always humming and hawing," the Ghost Doctor never missed an opportunity to belittle his competitor. "To put it nicely, he's straightforward; to put it bluntly, he's just a fool!"

"What did you say, you old codger?" Dr. Zhong asked angrily, pushing open the car window.

"I'm getting old, and my hearing isn't what it used to be," the Ghost Doctor said, picking at his ear. "I'm telling you, you're a silly kid!"

Enraged, Dr. Zhong nimbly jumped out of the car, grabbed the Ghost Doctor by the collar, and dragged him into the car before slamming the door shut.

Tang Zhao patted the startled tiger cub, "Do they have a grudge?"

Everyone shook their heads, saying they didn't know!

Inside the carriage, Doctor Zhong grabbed the Ghost Doctor by the collar, barely containing his anger, and demanded, "Why did you give Gu Ci the antidote? Do you want Tang Zhao and Gu Ci to actually fall in love?!"

Not long after Tang Zhao was betrothed, they had already devised a plan: Doctor Zhong would suppress the Qianji Yin in Gu Ci's body, and after Dayu defeated the Turks and killed the mastermind behind the framing of General Song, they would use the antidote as a condition to force Gu Ci to divorce him.

Then they would find Tang Zhao a handsome, intelligent, strong man who would never fight back or talk back. After Tang Zhao gave birth, if the man was acceptable, he would stay; otherwise, he would be driven away.

Now that they've cured Gu Ci of the poison, what will they use to control Gu Ci and the Prince Xuan?
The crowd outside:
There's no need to close the car door.

"Now, you'd better put the poison back in right now!"

Everyone turned to look at Gu Ci.

Gu Ci remained expressionless, as if he wasn't being talked about at all.

"What can I do?" the Ghost Doctor said, spreading his hands. "The girl repeatedly asked me to detoxify Gu Ci. How could I dare not listen?"

"You!" Dr. Zhong sighed in exasperation, released his grip, and sat back down in his chair.

"Take it easy. Look at it from another angle. Gu Ci is good-looking and smart. Isn't he a ready-made seed supplier?"

This saved them the trouble of searching all over the world.

"If the girl wants to live with him in the future, she can; if she doesn't, she can kick him out," the Ghost Doctor said calmly. "The poisons I have are not limited to Thousand-Mechanism Injection."

Everyone:.
Gu Ci whispered in Tang Zhao's ear, "Please, Madam, have mercy on me."
