Cheng Xunxun's angry palm did not restrain its force at all. Blood started to flow from Cheng Siyi's nose on the spot, and the corners of his mouth were broken and bloodshot. He lay on the ground gasping for air.

"This... this is..." Yu Zhu stammered and didn't know what to say. Cheng Siyi's look just now really looked like an addict in his previous life who was addicted to drugs.

Is this really the case? Yu Zhu turned his attention to Cheng Xunxun, looking for the answer.

"Tell Deng De to take my post and go to see old doctor Gu. He told him that he has something important to do and must ask him to come." Cheng Xunxun's face was ashen and he directly ordered Hua Ruo, who had just walked in cautiously after hearing the commotion.

Hua Ruo didn't dare to say anything, so she hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran out. The quick glance just now shocked her - there was blood dripping on the young master's front, which was shocking.

Although the curfew is strict, exceptions can still be made for things like delivering letters to the government, buying medicine for weddings, funerals, and illnesses.

After half a cup of tea, the panting old doctor Gu walked in with the medicine box on his back.

He had been dealing with the Cheng family for many years, and he knew that if it wasn't really an emergency, he would never rush to check in after curfew, so as soon as he entered the door, he didn't even have time to put down the medicine box, and he was looking for the patient.

.

"Second Master, is there anything I can help you with?"

Yu Zhu avoided it early and looked out through the gap in the four-fold ebony carved and embroidered satin screen.

Cheng Xunxun had a solemn face and pointed at his nephew beside him.

Cheng Siyi has been cleaned up by Yu Zhu's maids, the blood on his face has been wiped away with a warm handkerchief, and his right cheek has been carefully applied, but the large and eye-catching redness and swelling are still extremely dazzling.

"The eldest young master?" Old Doctor Gu's gray beard trembled, and he blinked his old eyes that were not dim. He saw correctly that two thoughts came to his mind. One was the news that the prodigal son of the eldest son of the Cheng family had returned.

It was indeed a rumor; the second thought was that it was funny. If you get beaten up, you only need to apply some wound medicine. Do you want to invite yourself over so late at night?

"Check his pulse to see if there is anything wrong with his body." Cheng Xunxun ordered quietly.

Cheng Siyi's right cheek was red and swollen, and he tried his best to sit upright, but if you look closely, you can see that his shoulders were shaking slightly. After receiving a slap, his mind became clearer, and he stretched out his right hand tremblingly after hearing the words.

Zaoyuan stepped forward and helped him roll up his sleeves.

Old Doctor Gu shook his head, sat down in front of the carved chair where the maid had spread the mattress, and stretched out three fingers...

The slightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide. Old Doctor Gu had a strange look on his face. He looked carefully at Cheng Siyi's face and closed his eyes again...

After a while, he opened his eyes again, looking at Cheng Siyi with regret in his eyes.

"how?"

Dr. Gu stroked his beard and sighed: "... Yin and Yang are imbalanced, Qi and blood are depleted, and then the energy is low, listless and easy to get tired... Dampness and turbidity are generated in the body, spleen and kidney yin are deficient, all pathways in the body are blocked, and the heart orifices are blocked.

She looks like she's addicted to opium."

Cheng Xunxun glanced coldly at Cheng Siyi, who was shrinking next to him. Seeing that he was also shocked, his expression softened slightly: "Can it still be cured?"

Doctor Gu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Judging from the symptoms and pulse, the amount taken is still shallow, and there is still room for improvement. If the young master is mentally strong, and with the help of decoction and acupuncture... it should be...

There is an 80% chance.”

Of course, you must not be infected again in the future. Only then will you be able to get over it completely. Looking at how weak Master Cheng is... Old Doctor Gu pinched his beard and shook his head. He did not dare to take any chances.

Cheng Xunxun's black eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly showed a bit of iron-blooded aura, "Just let it go and treat it. As long as you stay alive, everything else will be fine."

Although it may be more secure to invite the imperial doctor here, after all, the family scandal cannot be made public. If outsiders know that the eldest son of the Cheng family is actually addicted to aphrodisiac, it will be a big disturbance.

Old Doctor Gu cupped his hand and left a prescription, "The Corydalis Corydalis, Uncaria, Cordyceps Sinensis, and Cordyceps sinensis in this prescription must be made of good medicinal materials, so that the effect of the medicine can be achieved... Take a dose first and then go to bed."

, I will come back tomorrow."

After that, he carried the medicine box and followed the maid out.

Immediately after Ji heard the news, she rushed over. She was very surprised to meet old doctor Gu in front of the door. For no reason, she felt something bad in her heart...

…

Yuzhu looked at Ji's distressed look and was a little embarrassed. The injuries on her face looked really scary. Plus, Cheng Siyi's miserable expression in tears made her look as if half of her life was gone.

Ruan's mother hurriedly gathered next to Ji's side and told the whole story in detail, and repeatedly promised that it could be cured. Only then did Ji's pale face regain some color. She grabbed Yu Zhu's hand as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said hoarsely

He said in a loud voice: "Second Aunt, can it really be cured? Can it really be cured..."

Yu Zhu had no choice but to hold her hand and said firmly: "The period of addiction does not last very long, and the dose is not deep. Doctor Gu said that as long as you can get through the first few months, you will be the same as before."

Perhaps because the symptoms were still mild, Cheng Siyi did not show any crazy pain, but his eyes were distracted and his body occasionally twitched slightly. This made Yu Zhu feel relieved a little.

It was already at the beginning of Xu, and after saying goodbye to Cheng Xunxun and Yu Zhu, Mrs. Ji helped Cheng Siyi back to her room.

Yu Zhu ordered people to go to the warehouse to get the medicine. Thinking that there were a lot of high-quality Cordyceps sinensis in his dowry, he simply asked Hua Ruo to take some and send them away.

The princess of Zhuyi also heard the news and called Yuzhu to ask questions early the next morning.

"I heard that my uncle and nephew had some minor unpleasantness last night, and they invited a doctor?" Princess Zhuyi frowned and said angrily: "How did you become an aunt? You didn't even try to persuade me."

Yu Zhu sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm, with a hint of shock in order to be realistic: "...This...where do you start talking about this? You have wronged the Second Master."

"Oh, didn't it mean that the second master beat up the step-brother?" With a smile, Princess Zhuyi remained as stable as a mountain, "Then tell me what happened. To be honest, I got it early in the morning.

I was so worried about this news that I didn't know the cause and effect, and I always kept it in my heart."

"The eldest young master was playing too much with others outside and was slightly injured. The second master was worried, so he called over to have a look. Because the eldest master was still in the north, the second master said a few words to the eldest young master by the way, but

No action at all... As for please

Doctor, it's because the second master is worried and is afraid that the eldest young master may have suffered some internal injuries without realizing it. It's all out of good intentions..." Yu Zhu didn't even blink and spoke smoothly, but it was true.

It's also fake and can fool people quite a bit.

Princess Zhuyi was dubious. She couldn't find anything wrong and had no evidence, so she could only smile and said: "So that's it, I almost did something bad with good intentions. Those women who talk nonsense should be taught a lesson."

Yu Zhu smiled so hard that his eyebrows arched, he looked down at the blue trim on the hem of his clothes, and said softly: "No."

After leaving Chunxi Residence, you can see the white snow everywhere. It snowed very hard last night. The unknown deciduous trees in the garden actually have the charm of "thousands of pear blossoms blooming on thousands of trees", and the Qiongzhiyu

The leaves are of the same color. The fragrance of pine and the ice fragrance of white snow are intertwined and melted like mist, dancing coolly on the tip of the nose. Occasionally, birds are noisy, and the snow on the trees is like morning mist, silently

The earth blends into the earth.

Normally one would have to appreciate such a beautiful scenery, but Yu Zhu didn't feel that leisurely at all now, and hurried back to Ji's place.

Cheng Xunxun went out early in the morning. Although he didn't say where he was going, Yu Zhu also knew that he must have gone to investigate the situation - even Yu Zhu knew that Cheng Siyi didn't have the guts to mess with drugs. As Cheng Siyi's second uncle, Cheng Xunxun

How could you not understand?

Excluding the unreliable situation of accidentally hitting the passenger car, the only thing left is falling into someone else's trap.

The road has been swept clean by the sweeper who got up early and is on duty. The lotus-flavored sheepskin boots under Yu Zhu's feet make a faint sound when they step on the corridor paved with bluestone slabs.

"Madam, I have a saying, please listen and see if it makes sense." Halfway through, Mother Ruan suddenly spoke up. There was some hesitation at first, but then it gradually became smoother.

Yu Zhu smiled and nodded, indicating to her that it didn't matter.

Mother Ruan then opened her mouth and said: "This slave went to see Mother again last night. After thinking about it, the two of them came up with a very possible method." She paused, looked around quickly, and whispered: "Do it.

The poppy flower of Aphronia is also called the rice bag flower. Its leaves are like cabbage, and the young seedlings are edible. In the past, some small restaurants had a shameful way to keep guests... Take very fine seeds from the poppies left after the rice bag flower fades.

White rice, whether used for porridge or cooking, has a unique aroma and is easily addictive. At first, diners only find it fragrant and delicious. After eating it a few times, they cannot live without it, and the restaurant can earn a lot of money.

Less money..."

"It's just that this method is too harmful to moral integrity, and it is easy for people to notice something wrong later, so it may still exist in some remote rural places or inns where merchants stay temporarily. In other places, even if this method is known, it is also

Don't dare to use it indiscriminately. If found out by the court, you will be beheaded." Ruan's mother was a little confused. This is the most reasonable method, but the capital is under the emperor's feet and the laws are strict. The eldest young master and other young masters from aristocratic families must disdain

Having a banquet in a small restaurant...How could you still get addicted to opium?

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhu felt that it made sense.

Even after being questioned, Cheng Siyi couldn't tell him that he was ugly, but he only emphasized repeatedly that he had never smoked aphrodisiac...

The last possible scenario is that he fell into the trap without knowing it.

…

The prescription prescribed by Dr. Gu yesterday contained soothing herbs, and Cheng Siyi was still sleeping.

Ji's eyes were red and her face was haggard. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night. When she saw Yu Zhu coming, she stood up and saluted, and at the same time ordered the maid to serve tea.

"Why are you being polite to me now?" Yu Zhu had no choice but to ask Hua Ruo to put down the medicinal materials he brought, and warned: "Old doctor Gu will come again later, so I won't stay any longer. What's needed?

Just tell me...Also, pick some trustworthy people to serve around you, and don’t let others take advantage of you.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe, give rewards, and provide your support.
