Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 258 Drug Problems
As soon as Xu Shuhua woke up the next day, he heard a report from his servants: Gu Yunji had a high fever in the early morning, and the fever was severe, and he was not so conscious.

Xu Shuhua was startled and anxious, at the same time he sent someone to invite a doctor, at the same time he sent someone to take Gu Yunji's leave to the Hanlin Academy, and he also had to find time to coax the children, he was so busy early in the morning, he was so worried that he couldn't eat.

After finally waiting for the doctor to come, the other party carefully checked Gu Yunji's pulse, and said: "Master Gu, this is because of the cold air invading the body, and it can't be blocked, so he has a high fever. I will prescribe a side medicine, boil it and give it to him. If he sweats, it means he's all right."

Xu Shuhua nodded in agreement, and after sending the doctor away, he called Xu Dong: "There is an earth dragon burning in the main room, and there is a stove in the study, so it should not be able to freeze. How can the cold invade your body when the young master is healthy?"

Xu Dong was a little hesitant, but he still didn't dare to hide it under the young lady's gaze, he stammered: "Last night... after the young master came out of the main room, he took two cold showers and didn't fall asleep until midnight, maybe it was because he was frozen at that time."

"Cold water bath?" Xu Shuhua was startled for a moment, but quickly understood the reason, "Okay, I get it, you step back."

After retreating from everyone, Xu Shuhua looked at Gu Yunji's flushed face, feeling helpless and distressed, and murmured: "It's cold winter and you have to take two cold showers, which means you don't have feelings for me. If that's the case, why don't you stay? You have to go, it's really... hey——"

As if aware of his wife's location, Gu Yunji called out in a daze, "Shuhua, Shuhua..."

Xu Shuhua quickly held his hand and comforted him softly: "I'm here, Yunji, I'm with you."

Gu Yunji put his heart into practice, pulled her hand to his chest and hugged her. In his dream, he was still promising her: "Wait for Shuhua, wait a little longer. When I finish drinking the medicine, I will move back to sleep with you immediately, and never go to the study again... When the medicine is finished, I will have no scruples..."

medicine?Xu Shuhua frowned, finally realizing the problem.

Every time she asked Gu Yunji to come back to sleep, he always said that he hadn't finished the medicine and was afraid of hurting her.But the doctor has already said that her body has been fine for a long time, and taking the medicine now is just icing on the cake.What's more, there is no conflict between drinking medicine and intercourse, his reason is totally untenable.

Also, when Dr. Wang checked Gu Yunji's pulse that day, the reaction of the two of them was really strange, as if they were hiding something.

Could it be that there is something wrong with their medicine?Or could it be that there was something wrong with Gu Yunji's medicine?
Thinking of this, Xu Shuhua called Xu Dong again: "Where is the prescription for the young master's medicine? Show me."

Xudong's expression froze, and he deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Young Madam, is that the medicine prescribed by the doctor to cure the cold? I'll go and get it for you."

Xu Shuhua's tone was calm, and he said without doubt: "I'm talking about the medicine for nourishing yin and nourishing yang, and the 'companion' that I drink with it. Bring it here."

Xudong showed distress, and said hesitantly: "Young Madam, the prescription is kept by the young master on weekdays, and never let others handle it, and the young one doesn't know where it is placed."

Xu Shuhua was unmoved: "If you can't find the prescription, then bring the medicinal materials you have grasped, or the dregs of the boiled medicine, it doesn't matter, anyway, you have to give me something."

Sweat dripped from Xudong's forehead, and he showed a flattering smile: "Young Madam, let me ask you a little presumptuously, what do you want Master's medicine for?"

"You know it's presumptuous, but you still dare to ask?" Xu Shuhua glanced at him, exuding a faint majesty, "This is not what you should know, just give me the medicine."

Xu Dong lowered his head and stood still on the spot.

Xu Shuhua looked at him with a good temper, and said with a smile: "I know that you are the young master's servant, and you always only obey his orders. But no matter what, I am also the mistress of this yard, so I can't order you around?"

Xudong was sweating like rain, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times: "Young Madam, forgive me! It's not that I want to disobey your order, it's the Young Master's order. This medicine must not be leaked, especially not to be shown to you, Young Madam."

"If the little one brought you the medicine, when the young master wakes up, the little one really can't explain to him! Please don't make it difficult for the young one!"

The smile on Xu Shuhua's face faded, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "What's the secret of this medicine that deserves his strict attention?"

Xudong replied honestly: "I don't know. The young master only told me to look after the medicine, and didn't tell me anything else."

Xu Shuhua remained silent for a while, then gently exhaled the depression in his chest, raised his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't make things difficult for you, you go down. Since the young master has ordered you, you have to do things well, and don't forget to take the medicine for noon."

Xu Dong breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, thank you, Young Madam, the little one has stepped down."

-

At noon, as soon as Xudong boiled the medicine for Gu Yunji, Xu Shuhua rushed in with his servants, and restrained him to one side in two or three strokes so that he could not move.

Xu Shuhua glanced at the medicine soup that was gurgling and steaming, and told Qiu Xiao: "Fill out the medicine residue, pack it up and take it away."

Seeing her turn around and about to leave, Xu Dong shouted urgently: "Young Madam! You can't be like this, Young Madam! You took the medicine away, what should you do if the young master asks!"

Xu Shuhua stopped, his expression was normal, but with a calmness that made Xudong flustered: "Remember, I took someone to snatch the medicine from you today, and you gave it to me because you were powerless to resist. The young master won't blame you if he finds out. As for Yunji... you can tell him when he wakes up, I'll wait for him to come to me."

Xudong had no choice but to watch her leave with the medicine.

After leaving the door, Qiu Xiao guessed her thoughts and asked, "Young madam, do you want to go to Doctor Wang's or Chen Ji drug store?"

These two are doctors that the Gu family often invites, and they are very familiar with Gu Yunji.

Xu Shuhua looked back at the study where Gu Yunji was, and said, "Go to Jihetang."

Jihetang is a well-known century-old pharmacy in Beijing, and all the doctors and doctors are superb in their skills, but it is far away from where the Gu family lives, so they don't often go there.

Qiu Xiao responded, "Yes, Young Madam."

An hour later, inside the Jihe Hall.

The grey-haired old man looked at the young woman in front of him, and asked, "Madam, should I go to see a doctor or take medicine?"

"Not at all." Xu Shuhua took out a prescription and handed it to the doctor, "Please take a look at the doctor, what kind of prescription is this?"

The doctor squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, stroking his beard and nodding his head: "Hmm... nourishing qi and nourishing the body, cultivating the body and strengthening the body. What's rare is that the side effects of the medicine are extremely low. It has advantages but no disadvantages. It's a good prescription."

Xu Shuhua took out another pack of medicine dregs, and said: "Then ask the doctor to take a look, what about the prescription of this medicine?"

The doctor took the dregs of the medicine and identified the medicinal materials inside one by one. After looking at a few, he showed horror and was almost speechless: "This, this..."

Xu Shuhua's heart sank, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked calmly, "What's wrong? But what's wrong with Fang Zi?"

The doctor did not answer, but asked: "Madam, who in the family took this medicine?"

Xu Shuhua said: "It's my husband."

"No wonder, no wonder..." Lang Zhong shook his head and sighed: "Madam, in my opinion, you should go back and ask your husband about this matter."
