Chapter 153: Angry
The afterglow of the setting sun is magnificent, casting a ray of rosy clouds on the horizon.
The breeze blows the clouds, the night falls quietly, and before we know it, the busy work at Xinglin Hall is coming to an end.
Gu Nianting intends to win more people's hearts and strike while the iron is hot, opening warehouses to help the people. While Guan Fu is treating patients, he also rescues beggars and disaster victims who are wandering nearby.
The bland soup was hardly enough to fill the stomach, so Gu Nianting ordered the chef to mix meat and vegetables, and to add as much oil and salt as he wanted, without worrying about the cost.
The aroma of the feast soon filled the entire street.
When the meal was ready, Gu Nianting condescended to serve the people himself.
Yan Yu was busy seeing patients and didn't pay attention for a while. He only went out to check when he heard the patients screaming in pain.
"What's the fuss about?"
After asking, he took a quick glance, quickly grasped the situation, and turned to question Gu Nianting.
"They have damaged stomachs and are still sick, so how can they eat a lot of oil and salt?"
"How come you don't even have common sense?"
Gu Nianting was stunned as he didn't understand.
"common sense?"
“What is common sense?”
"Uncle, please understand. I just want to provide them with the most sumptuous meal. I have no ill intentions."
Some of the patients were in agony, while others were rolling on the ground. Yan Yu said no more.
"ignorance."
After giving this brief reprimand, he turned to give instructions to Gao Jing.
"Find someone to carry them in. Let them lie down if they can, or sit if there is a seat."
"I will go prepare the medicine first."
Gao Jing responded in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Watching Yan Yu turn and leave, Gu Nianting looked at his back, secretly made a dissatisfied expression, and complained in his heart.
He just knows a little bit about medicine, why are you so proud?
This king just doesn't want to learn, not that he can't learn.
If I am willing to learn, I will definitely learn better than anyone else.
People like him who are just in name only are insignificant in front of me!
After venting his anger, he regained his usual smile and took the initiative to greet him.
"How can you bear to see your uncle suffer all the hard work alone? I, your nephew, am willing to help."
"If you have any errands, just give me your orders, and don't be polite."
Yan Yu casually gave instructions and responded coldly.
"Grind."
Gu Nianting had been listening to such cold and rude words for several days, but he still couldn't get used to it.
At first, he showed displeasure through his lip language, and then he forced himself to look happy.
"Yes, I will obey your order."
After the polite words, his indignant look returned, and he picked up the tools and started grinding the powder as he was told.
After much difficulty, all the patients were cured, and in the end, everyone just said, "Thank you, Emperor Jin, for your grace."
Gu Nianting felt even worse after hearing this.
Are these people blind?
I have worked tirelessly day and night, and in the end, I can't even get a word of thanks.
If this continues, these common people will surely make me mad at you.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yan Yu finished what he was doing, walked to his side and asked a few simple questions.
"Are you going to stay and make medicine tonight?"
Gu Nianting forced himself to smile politely.
"Yes."
"Farewell, uncle."
Yan Yu glanced at him with disdain.
"Staying up late every day makes you irritable."
Gu Nianting replied politely.
"Thank you for your concern, uncle."
"For the sake of the people, and more importantly, to relieve the worries of the Emperor's uncle, I will not be tired."
Yan Yu raised one corner of his mouth and gave a scornful smile.
"Then keep up the good work."
After chatting for a while, Yan Yu left.
Afterwards, Lin Mu came to visit.
Gu Nianting's smile had long since disappeared, and he responded with a cold and unkind tone.
"What are you doing here?"
Lin Mu bowed respectfully without any emotion.
"Reporting to the prince, I am here on the orders of the emperor to inquire if Prince Dijin has made any unusual moves."
Gu Nianting rejected it unhappily.
"You come here every day, can't you see for yourself?"
"Are you blind too?"
Lin Mu was calm, but there was a hint of disdain in his expression.
"Whether the Prince of Dijin has taken any action, I have not seen it; but I have seen the Prince being restless and irritable every day, which is not uncommon. I think it is due to fatigue."
"How about I write a prescription to help the prince recover?"
Gu Nianting understood what he meant and became even more angry.
"You are the one who is sick!"
"You doctors claim that the medical field is full of spring, but in fact you are the ones who are most seriously ill."
"you go!"
"I am annoyed just by seeing you."
Lin Mu came here to use medicine to cause Gu Nianting and his men to faint all night.
While talking, he quietly finished taking the medicine.
Once the goal is achieved, you can leave naturally.
"I'll take my leave."
Suddenly remembering something, Gu Nianting stopped him.
"Wait a minute."
Lin Mu stopped and bowed.
"What else do you want, my lord?"
Gu Nianting's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Will you assist your father or your uncle?"
Lin Mu looked calm, but felt helpless in his heart.
It seems that he is really tired and sick to ask such a question.
After thinking about it, his demeanor was indifferent, but his tone was very serious.
"Reporting to the prince, you and I are both Yan's ministers. It is only natural for us to assist King Dijin."
"I work in the Imperial Hospital. I serve the Emperor and obey the orders of Prince Dijin. I will do whatever you ask of me."
There was a hint of disdain at the corner of Gu Nianting's lips.
"Is not this nonsensical?"
"Go away. I hate people like you who seek fame and reputation the most."
Lin Mu responded and left.
"Yes."
After Lin Mu left, Gu Nianting officially began to decoct the medicine.
By the time the medicine was finished, it was already deep at night.
All the medicines were put into medicine bottles. Just as they were about to seal them, they suddenly fell into a deep sleep one after another.
Seeing that the medicine was taking effect, the pharmacist arranged by Lin Mu took the opportunity to increase the dosage.
When Gu Nianting woke up, the sky was already gradually brightening.
Wu Yan was the first to react, holding a medicine bottle and hurried towards his master.
"Your Majesty, it's not good."
"This medicine soup has a dark color, it looks like someone has increased the dosage."
Gu Nianting took a quick look and moved a little closer, and then he smelled a strong smell of medicine, and then he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.
"It's so pungent, is it a lethal dose?"
"Hurry up and shut up. I'll feel uncomfortable all over after just a sniff."
Wu Yan was shocked when he heard this.
"seal?"
"Your Highness, do you mean that after the seal is sealed, the pharmacist of Xinglin Hall will deliver the medicine to the patient's home?"
"In my humble opinion, we should boil the medicine again."
"What if they drink it..."
"Your Majesty, they are all brothers from Zhong Fumeng..."
Gu Nianting couldn't help but feel angry.
"Are they fools?"
"How dare you drink this medicine with such a strong smell?"
"Besides, they have already recovered from their illness, so why do they need these medicines? Are you too tired to forget that I continued to boil the medicine just for show, not to really cure the patients."
As he said this, he snorted with disdain.
"This King Di Jin is indeed a man who seeks fame and reputation. He claims to be kind and compassionate, but isn't he using drugs to harm the people just to seize power?"
"He imitated Ning Fengzhe and used the same trick to deal with me. Little did he know that the other party were all brothers of Zhong Fumeng and would never get involved in his plan. They would not take the medicine and die, nor would they turn against me and create another medical disaster."
Having said this, he smiled smugly.
"Oh, imitating other people's strategies without knowing how to adapt, this person is simply ridiculous."
"He should just wait for the result. I hope he won't be so angry when the time comes."
