At night, as darkness fell, a carriage hurriedly passed by on the street and stopped in front of the Chu family's outer house.
An old man who was over fifty years old came out of the carriage, and there was also a pretty girl.
The girl helped the old man down and said, "Master, we are here."
"Hurry in!" The old man hurried over without delay.
The girl was naturally beautiful and had bright eyes. She raised her head and glanced at the house, with the corners of her lips slightly raised into a smile.
The door of the house opened, and Yuan Feng appeared in front of the two of them, "Doctor Ye."
Seeing the girl next to the old man, Yuan Feng couldn't help but be slightly startled, "Miss Yan?"
Yan Ruoxi smiled slightly, "Brother Yuan Feng, long time no see. I followed Master back to the capital!"
Doctor Ye's face was solemn and he said, "Don't waste time. Where is Lord Chu? Lord Chu's poison is in critical condition. Let me go and take a look!"
"This……"
Yuan Feng scratched his head. Doctor Ye came so late, and his master had already been cured by Miss Jiang.
But he still said, "Doctor Ye, please."
Doctor Ye carried the medicine box and walked quickly to the inner courtyard.
Yan Ruoxi also followed behind, and when she passed by Yuan Feng, she smiled at him, "Brother Yuan Feng, don't worry, Master will definitely cure Brother Chu, and I brought Iceberg Snow Lotus, which can cure hundreds of poisons.
Yuan Feng nodded uncomfortably.
Doctor Ye hurriedly walked into the house and was startled when he saw the person inside.
Lord Chu didn't look like he was poisoned. He was reading the secret letter carefully at the moment.
When Chu Yunli saw someone coming in, he put the secret letter on the oil lamp and lit it until it burned cleanly.
Doctor Ye was stunned. Didn't they say that the poisoning situation was critical?
Chu Yunli nodded slightly, "Doctor Ye, you are here."
"Master Chu, this..."
"The poison on my body has been detoxified." Chu Yunli said calmly. After Jiang Ning detoxified him, he regained his strength within a day and used his internal strength to force out the remaining toxins. Now he only needs to heal the stab wound on his body.
Doctor Ye was shocked. Juemingsan was definitely not a poison that ordinary doctors could detoxify. Even he had to treat it with caution. The slightest mistake could kill people.
However, someone managed to undo the poison of Juemingsan in just one day, and Master Chu's body recovered as before.
Doctor Ye suddenly didn't know what to say. He said, "I'm late. Please forgive me. Something happened on the way and it took some time."
"Well, it's not the fault of Divine Doctor Ye." Chu Yunli replied, his eyes slightly cold. He had found out a long time ago that the person behind the scenes not only sent the Dragon Shadow Guard to assassinate him, but also sent people to hold down Divine Doctor Ye.
If Jiang Ning hadn't mastered medical skills and detoxified him, if he had waited for Doctor Ye to come back, the poison would have spread throughout his body and there would be no way to save him.
Doctor Ye asked, "Sir, I wonder who detoxified you? There is a doctor with such skill in the capital. I would like to pay him a visit."
Chu Yunli lowered his eyes, thinking of Jiang Ning. If her identity was revealed, she would definitely be in trouble, so he said, "A charlatan sorcerer passed by and happened to give me the antidote."
"I see... You are so lucky to meet such a strange person."
Outside the door, a pretty figure walked in.
"Brother Chu, it's great that you're okay..." Yan Ruoxi was filled with tears and worried. Seeing that Chu Yunli was fine, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Brother Chu, do you still remember me?"
Chu Yunli raised his face and glanced at the woman, nodded slightly, "Miss Yan." There was a hint of alienation in his tone.
Yan Ruoxi was startled, and felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Chu Yunli's distant tone, but she soon felt relieved. They had not seen each other for five or six years, and indifference was the right thing to do.
She smiled slightly and said, "It's good that Brother Chu hasn't forgotten me. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm afraid that Brother Chu won't recognize me."
Chu Yunli didn't reply.
Yan Ruoxi walked over and put the box she was holding on the table, "This is Iceberg Snow Lotus. Master and I went to the snow mountains to pick it. It can cure hundreds of poisons in the world. Brother Chu, if you take Iceberg Snow Lotus, you will definitely recover faster."
Iceberg snow lotuses are rare and expensive. There are only one or two on the market, and the ones that are so old are the best.
Chu Yunli took one look and said, "The poison in my body has been cured. There is no need to waste it because of me."
Yan Ruoxi's smile froze slightly, and she felt a little sad. She always felt that Brother Chu treated her differently.
"Brother Chu, just accept it... I came back this time just to help you. You saved my life, and I secretly swear that I will learn medical skills to help you."
"You don't have to be like this, Miss Yan."
Chu Yunli said calmly, "Doctor Ye, you must be tired after a long journey."
Doctor Ye understood the implication of Chu Yunli's words and stood up immediately, "In that case, I won't disturb you for your rest. The poison in your body has just been cured, so you should pay attention to your rest."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house, "Xi'er, let's go."
Yan Ruoxi was still standing in the room, unwilling to leave. She finally saw Brother Chu, and she hadn't seen him for several years.
Chu Yunli, who has lost his youthful air, looks mature and upright. Under the oil lamp, his face is so handsome that people can't help but be stunned.
"Xi'er." Doctor Ye called out.
Yan Ruoxi reluctantly walked out of the house.
Yuan Feng was waiting outside the door and saw Doctor Ye coming out. He immediately said, "Doctor Ye, my master has prepared a yard. Please follow me."
Divine Doctor Ye nodded. This house is Chu Yunli's private residence and no one will be allowed to enter it at will.
It takes a lot of effort to prepare another house for him.
Yuan Feng looked at Yan Ruoxi who was behind Divine Doctor Ye, "Where will Miss Yan live?"
"Xi'er returns to Yan Mansion."
Yan Ruoxi walked over and handed the jade box to Yuan Feng, "Brother Yuan Feng, this is iceberg snow lotus. It is good for detoxification. Brother Chu must take it."
Yuan Feng took a look at the jade box and saw that it was extremely valuable. He did not dare to accept such a valuable thing without authorization.
He declined immediately and said, "Miss Yan, I don't dare to accept it without orders."
Yan Ruoxi curled her lips and felt sad, "Brother Yuan Feng, can you not treat me so formally?"
"Don't dare."
Yuan Feng said, "Miss Yan, don't call me Brother Yuan Feng from now on. Just call me Yuan Feng. Miss is the daughter of the Taifu and has a distinguished status. This is against the rules."
There was also a sense of alienation in Yuan Feng's words.
Yan Ruoxi's eyes turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said aggrievedly, "I used to call you like this... Why do you want to alienate me? Did I do something wrong?"
Yuan Feng replied calmly, "Miss Yan did nothing wrong. Those things happened in the past. Miss Yan was young at that time and did not follow the rules. The situation is different now."
Yan Ruoxi felt aggrieved and said pitifully, "I understand, I will never call you Brother Yuan Feng again."
Yuan Feng remained unmoved, his expression unchanged.
That's how it should be. Miss Yan is the daughter of a master, and it's against the rules to hang out with servants like them. Besides, the master also maintain a cold and distant attitude. They already have Miss Jiang, so naturally they have to keep a distance from other women.
