After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 983 Taking Medicine
Haitang was grinning, and Jin Jiashu naturally saw it.

He came back to his senses and was suddenly surprised to think that he was now alone in a room with Sister Hai! They could talk without restraint again! He came to the Hai family today, wasn't this what he was looking forward to the most? !
The smile on his face suddenly looked even more stupid: "Sister Hai, what are you laughing at?"

What are you laughing at? Of course, I'm laughing at your silly look!

Haitang suppressed her laughter and did not answer. She walked to the kang and sat down across the kang table from him. "I didn't have time to ask you in detail just now. How are you? Are you really alright?" Then she took out the two bottles of medicine hidden on her body and handed them to him. "While no one is around now, drink the medicine quickly and take an antidote later. Maybe you will really get better. There is no need to worry about finding medicine. No matter whether it is the palace or our family, there is no need to send people to Chang'an to inquire."

Jin Jiashu took the two small porcelain bottles, feeling the remaining temperature of Haitang, hesitated for a moment, and pushed them back to Haitang: "Sister Hai, please take this medicine back for now. I am not in any serious condition now, so I don't need to take it for now. When the Tianxin Begonia here blooms and bears fruit again, I can take it after sending it to the Imperial Hospital for an antidote. By then, you will be my savior, and the palace will no longer treat you lightly. Even Teacher Xie and others can share some of the credit, and even if you don't return to the court, no one will dare to despise or offend you."

Haitang immediately felt that his words were both infuriating and funny: "What's the big deal? Do you need to exchange your own health for it? Don't think that just because you are in good health now, you can sit back and relax and wait for the Tianxin Begonia to bloom and bear fruit next year. What if the detoxification prescription prescribed by the Imperial Hospital can't suppress the remaining poison in your body one day? What if the detoxification pill you took before has limited efficacy and can no longer stop your poison from breaking out one day? No one can guarantee that the remaining poison in your body will really stay quiet until it is completely removed and will never harm your life.

"If it was such an easy-to-treat poison, it wouldn't be considered a secret drug or strange poison in the palace that kills people without being noticed! You have also read the books in the palace, so you should know how powerful it is. What if one day its remaining toxicity overwhelms the antidote you have taken, and it attacks again and takes your life in one go, what do you want me to do?! We clearly have the antidote, but you drag your feet and refuse to take it for some trivial matters. It will be too late to regret that day! Your life is the most important, and everything else is nothing! Take the medicine quickly!"

Jin Jiashu was scolded so much that he bowed his head and admitted his fault. Although his face was burning, he felt very happy in his heart. He knew that Hai Meimei was most concerned about his health and hoped that he would quickly detoxify and recover as usual. As for whether their marriage would change after the detoxification, and whether Queen Mother Xu in the palace would look down on Hai Meimei because she didn't know that she was his savior, Hai Meimei didn't care at all. She only cared about him!

Thinking of this, Jin Jiashu's face once again showed a silly smile. He took the two small porcelain bottles, opened the lids and smelled them, and knew which bottle contained the medicine, and drank it all in one gulp. As for the detoxification pills, they would have to wait a while before they could be taken.

Haitang took the small porcelain bottle containing the medicine, while Jin Jiashu hid the small porcelain bottle containing the detoxifying pills. He moved closer to the table, with his hands on the tabletop, wishing he could cross the tabletop and get closer to Haitang. He felt that the table was in the way, but he didn't dare to really push it aside. He spoke hesitantly: "Who is this cousin Qiao who is here now? Why are not only Grandpa Hai and Grandma Hai anxious to see him, but Brother Hai also went to pick him up in person, and even the three teachers are so eager? And... only Sister Hai is left... to talk to me?"

Haitang briefly introduced Qiao Fu's background. Although she did not explicitly state that he was a spy of the Imperial Guard, she also explained that he had a low position in the Imperial Guard in the past and had suffered a lot. However, now that Qiao Fu's identity has been exposed, the Hai family can further care for him and promote him. His good days are still ahead, and the sufferings of the past will naturally not happen again.

Jin Jiashu suddenly realized, and then thought, if Qiao Fu and Hai Meimei's cousin can really get married, then he will not only be his cousin's brother-in-law in the future, but also his brother-in-law? He needs to find opportunities to get closer to him! In any case, this is the only relative left from Hai Meimei's mother's family. So Jin Jiashu said to Haitang with a silly smile: "Since he is my cousin, should I also go over to greet him? After all... we will be a family in the future?"

family?

Haitang raised her head and glanced at Jin Jiashu. She could understand what he meant, but...was he a little too proud?
Haitang lowered her eyes, "We are not really a family. Cousin Qiao is a member of the Qiao family. He is a relative of ours, but not a family. Now the grandfathers are asking about his family situation. Why are you going there when you are not related to him? Don't be embarrassed. Anyway, we will have a chance to meet in the future, so it won't be too late to greet each other then."

Jin Jiashu said hurriedly: "Didn't Sister Hai just say that this cousin Qiao was going to marry my cousin from Yongping? Then, he would also be the son-in-law of the Hai family. How could we not be considered a family..."

Haitang suppressed her laughter and tilted her head to look at him: "You keep nagging me with these words. Are you trying to tell me that our marriage is settled and my relatives will be your relatives in the future? Are you so sure? Although the late emperor granted the marriage, our family has not received the decree yet!"

The palace has indeed negotiated with the royal family, the cabinet, the nobles, the civil officials and the military officers. In addition to giving up the daughter of the Grand Secretary with a tainted family and settling on the more reliable daughter of a meritorious official, and canceling the marriages of the princes in the Ji Wangfu, the new monarch has basically accepted all the marriage orders left by the previous emperor, and read the contents of the will in court. However, the marriage order was combined in a long imperial edict, not for each couple, so the specific marriage order had to wait until the national mourning was over, and then the new monarch would issue it again and distribute it to the families of the parties involved. Now this marriage order has not yet arrived at the Hai family, but Hai Xiya has already heard from his superiors in the government office, and Hai Jiao and Hai Chang'an have also received the news in the palace, so the family has made some preparations.

Haitang didn't think there would be any twists and turns in their marriage. Unless there was a change of dynasty, the dead emperor was still the emperor, and the imperial edict he left behind was still valid. As long as the last emperor's will was not too absurd, the new emperor had no reason to disobey his father's orders and let outsiders gossip. However, since the marriage was already confirmed, why did Jin Jiashu still worry all day that Queen Mother Xu would break the engagement and treat the future "nephew's wife" harshly?

Haitang stared at Jin Jiashu and asked him with a straight face, "If you believe that there will be no changes in the marriage, and that you and I will be a family sooner or later, then why did you drag your feet and refuse to take the medicine before?! Could it be that the Queen Mother is still unwilling to do so? Even though the late emperor granted the marriage, and you were poisoned, your future is uncertain, and your life span is a mystery, she still doesn't like me and is trying every means to go against the will and find another noble lady for you?!"

How persistent was Queen Mother Xu in Jin Jiashu marrying a noble lady? Even though she was the Queen Mother of a country and her own son sat on the throne, she still believed that her other flesh and blood could not rely on her and the new emperor to gain a foothold in the circle of noble relatives in the capital, and must marry a noble lady from a famous family in order to live a rich and stable life? !
