Chapter 239 Detoxification
"The imperial doctor said that if he can't find his senior brother within 20 years, Madam may be..." Xiao Xilin's voice became lower and lower, and she was a little speechless.

"20 years?" Gu Yunxiao smiled slightly, held his big hand, raised his small face and said, "20 years later, when the child grows up, he will be able to take care of himself. The husband is in his prime, when he is in high spirits, marry another A house wife is also possible..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help the tears streaming down her face, she forced the corners of her mouth to bend, and sighed: "I wanted to say that, but unfortunately I couldn't say it to the end, just thinking about it makes me a little bit unbearable."

After 20 years, I don't know if I can watch my child get married and have children, and I can hug her grandchildren.

Xiao Xilin hugged her tightly, and promised in a deep voice: "Ma'am, the promise I just made is still there. Besides, after 20 years, who knows that I won't be able to find the brother of the imperial doctor?"

Although he was a little uncertain, after all, the imperial doctor was already very old, and this senior brother might not be alive.But as long as one day is not found, one day there is hope.

The two were embracing each other quietly, looking at each other speechlessly, with thousands of thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't know how to speak.

Xiao Xilin didn't want to make Gu Yunxiao feel more troubled, after all, she was still pregnant, too much thinking would be bad for her body.

Gu Yunxiao He Zeng was not melancholy, he didn't know how to comfort Xiao Xilin, so he fell silent.

It wasn't until Qiu Hong came that the silence was broken. She asked hesitantly: "A barefoot monk came to the corner gate. He was very destitute, his clothes were ragged, and his hands and face were dirty. Come and ask Madam."

"Meeting is fate, please invite this monk to take a bath in the side room, and then bring clean clothes and delicious vegetarian food, don't neglect." Gu Yunxiao sat up straight, embarrassed to let Qiuhong see herself nestled in Xiao Xilin's arms again inside.

"Yes, ma'am." Qiu Hong quickly ordered, and the cook cooked a table of hot vegetarian food with a wave of the spoon.

At this time, the woman who brought the hot water also wiped the sweat from her forehead, boiled the hot water three times, and the old monk inside finally finished washing.

Because it was the wife's order, the mother-in-law didn't dare to complain.The old monk's monk's robe was so tattered that even sewing would not work, so Qiu Hong simply found a new one that Xiao Xilin hadn't worn.It just so happened that the old monk's stature was similar to Xiao Xilin's, so he could barely handle it.

After the old monk washed clean, he put on new clothes. His white beard and hair made him look a bit immortal.

He put his hands together, said "Amitabha", and picked up the chopsticks.

Seeing that he was devouring the food, Qiu Hong was dumbfounded when the plates on the table were all empty in just a quarter of an hour.How long has this monk been hungry, but he is not rude when he looks at his actions, I am afraid that his background is not bad!

She was wondering why the old monk came here, she didn't believe that there were so many wealthy families around here, why did he come to knock on the door of Xiao's mansion?

Zhen Guohou's mansion is in a more conspicuous place, why not go there?
Qiu Hong felt vigilant, so she heard the old monk say kindly, "Thank you, benefactor, I haven't had a full meal for a long time."

Hearing his grateful voice, Qiu Hong felt that she was overthinking again, and said with a smile: "You don't have to thank me, you should thank my wife. The lady is kind, that's why the old man came in."

"Then maybe the old man can meet with the mansion and express his thanks in person?" the old monk said suddenly, causing Qiu Hong to feel embarrassed.

"This...let me report it and ask my master."

The old monk nodded calmly, as if Xiao Xilin and Gu Yunxiao didn't care if they saw him or not.

Gu Yunxiao felt that it was a little effort, and there was no need for the old monk to thank him, but Xiao Xilin said thoughtfully: "The old monk only talked about meeting, and didn't mention anything else. Why did you come to Xiao's mansion, didn't you say why?"

"The maidservants are also puzzled, but the old monk is easygoing, giving whatever he wants, not picky, not talking too much, he doesn't look like a villain." Qiu Hong asked herself, she still winks at people, the old monk doesn't seem like a big treacherous person evil people.

Xiao Xilin thought that no one would dare to be unfavorable to Gu Yunxiao because he was present, so he nodded, "So, please come and see the old monk."

The old monk came over quickly and saluted the two with their hands together.

Gu Yunxiao said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite, old man, it's just what you want, and it's a word of fate."

"What a word of fate, this old man and his wife are destined, maybe you can reach out your hand to feel the old man's pulse?" The old monk rubbed his white beard and smiled, seeing Xiao Xilin's body tense, looking like he was protecting Gu Yunxiao, his eyes were full Vigilant, he raised his eyebrows again and said: "Old man, Madam's seal is turning blue, which is obviously a sign of poisoning. It's just that most of the toxins have been forced out, and the small half is still in the body. It won't happen for a while, but my life will It can't be delayed for 20 years."

Gu Yunxiao was a little surprised. The old monk could tell that she had been poisoned with just one glance, and his medical skills must be excellent!

Xiao Xilin was already vigilant, it was not easy to find out what happened to Gu Yunxiao, how did this monk know so clearly?

Gu Yunxiao felt relieved, patted his arm and said, "Husband, it's okay to let the old man try."

Anyway, the imperial doctor was at a loss what to do, now that a dead horse is acting as a living horse doctor, there might be a solution if you give it a try.

Xiao Xilin could only nod her head when she heard the words.

Qiu Hong sent a small soft pillow, and let Gu Yunxiao's arms rest on it.

The old monk stepped forward, bent down, put two fingers on her wrist, and said in surprise for a while: "Hey, this technique, this soup...is the prescription left by the master. Could it be that the younger brother made it?"

After hearing this, Xiao Xilin was surprised and said: "It's the prescription left by the imperial doctor. If it wasn't for this decoction, Madam would have died."

"That's right, this prescription is just right, it's just two points weaker, and it saved the child, but failed to eradicate the toxin." The old monk let go of his hand, and glanced at Gu Yunxiao's face again: "It really is fate with Madam, This old man has an antidote here, which took 20 years of hard work and collected thousands of precious medicinal materials to make it, and now it can expel the residual poison of my wife, nourish the body, and stabilize the fetus."

When Xiao Xilin heard this, he hurriedly said: "The imperial doctor once said that he has a senior brother who has traveled all over the world, could it be the old gentleman?"

"If the imperial doctor's surname is Zeng, that's good. He's the old man's younger brother." The old monk stroked his beard slowly, but Gu Yunxiao sighed.

"This detoxification pill is so precious, it is really rare, how can I tell the old man to give up his love?"

The old monk stroked his bearded hand and said awkwardly: "Although there is only one pill and it took so long, it's actually not that difficult to do, it's just..."

He rubbed his fingers together and blinked in embarrassment.

Qiuhong couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. The embarrassing thing was not that the medicinal materials were difficult to find, but that there was not enough money.

Gu Yunxiao also laughed. This monk has a real temperament, which can be seen at a glance: "I don't know how much money the old man wants before he is willing to sell this detoxification pill?"

The old monk originally wanted to put on the airs of an expert so as to raise the price. After all, the cost of medicine is too high, and he has already used up his savings.He looked down on ordinary pills and was unwilling to use them, so he became poorer and poorer. In the end, he had to pretend to be a monk and go around for alms, so as not to starve to death.

"This... the old man can't say for sure..."

There are still many places he hasn't been to, and there are many medicinal materials that are only known by name, and how much it costs, even he himself can't figure it out.

Xiao Xilin was straightforward, and said: "The old man traveled around and personally collected medicinal materials. It is a blessing for all people, and he should support it. The boy is not talented. He has a shop and a field under his name. He doesn't spend much on weekdays. Surplus, I am willing to do my best for the old man."

Hearing this, the old monk was overjoyed, and quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed it over: "This is the pill inside, Madam just take it directly."

Qiu Hong took the porcelain vase and presented it to Gu Yunxiao, who was still a little overwhelmed.

After all, half an hour ago, she was still lamenting that she only had 20 years left in her life.

But now it suddenly turned around. The old monk can cure her with a detoxification pill?

Gu Yunxiao poured a brown pill from the porcelain bottle, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance, which was no different from ordinary pills, maybe the taste was stronger.

Seeing this, the old monk smiled and said, "Madam, you don't believe me, so you dare not take it?"

She shook her head and said with a smile: "That's not the case, it's just that I've been in distress for a long time, and I thought there was no hope for this life, but I got the old man's help. It's like a dream, and I'm so pleasantly surprised that I don't know what to do."

Xiao Xilin was also funny, he just said that he wanted to pay money, how much and when he would pay, he didn't say anything, the old monk just happily delivered the pills to Gu Yunxiao, isn't he afraid of going back on his word?

Just like the imperial doctor, he is upright and not good at intrigue.Fortunately, the old emperor cherished his talents, and rectified the imperial hospital from time to time, not letting those who seek fame and fame stay. A famous doctor devoted himself to medicine and left many rare prescriptions.

The old monk was so happy, Gu Yunxiao didn't hold back, and took the pill in one gulp.I thought it needed to be chewed, but who knew that the pills would melt in the mouth, leaving only a faint medicinal fragrance in my mouth.

At first there was no difference, but the sudden abdominal pain was unbearable, and she suddenly turned pale.

Xiao Xilin immediately became nervous, supported Gu Yunxiao and said, "Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Well, it hurts, I think..." Gu Yunxiao showed embarrassment, and motioned for Qiuhong to help her into the room.

Xiao Xilin immediately looked at the old monk, feeling uneasy.

The old monk stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Teacher, there is no need to panic, but the toxin is eliminated, and it will be fine in a while."

Qiu Lu also went in, and soon came out and whispered something in Xiao Xilin's ear, the latter finally softened his face.

Gu Yunxiao went to the hut, and came out after a while, with a much better complexion than before, and quickly thanked the old monk: "Thanks to the old gentleman's help, I just feel comfortable now, and I'm afraid it's all right now. "
