“Uncle Feng, you’re too polite. Please.” Gu Wanning quickly asked him to sit down.

“I’ll make it quick. Please use your own name to ask Lord Gu to come to the residence as soon as possible.”

Gu Wanning did not understand why he did not go personally.

But she didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately.”

“Thank you. I will take my leave.” After Butler Feng finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

After he left, Gu Wanning called Chun Xi over and said, “Go to the Gu Residence and tell my cousin that I’m sick. Ask him to come over and take my pulse.” “Mistress, are you sick? What’s wrong?” Chun Xi asked worriedly.

“It’s nothing. I just feel weak and listless.

“I don’t trust anyone else to take my pulse other than my cousin.”

When Chun Xi heard this, she did not think too much about it and immediately made a trip.

However, Gu Chengrui was making medicine in the interspace. After Zhou Ying received the news, she asked, “So your mistress said that she needs Chengrui to go over immediately?”

“Yes, she told me that she was very uncomfortable.” Chun Xi nodded.

“I got it. Wait a moment. I’ll call someone right away.” Zhou Ying replied thoughtfully. She turned around and went to the study room, called Gu Chengrui out of the interspace, and said, “I’m afraid something’s wrong. She looked quite energetic last night.”

“I understand. I’ll bring my first-aid kit over now.” Gu Chengrui kissed her and said, “Remember to look out for me. If anything really happens, you have to help me.”

After they left, Zhou Ying followed them.

However, as soon as Gu Chengrui entered the residence, he was stopped by Butler Feng. Butler Feng brought him out of Gu Wanning’s courtyard for a walk.

When they walked out, Butler Feng made sure that there was no one around before asking, “Doctor Gu, I wonder if you can cure tuberculosis?”

When Gu Chengrui heard his question, he knew that this was the main goal of this trip.

Moreover, the patient’s identity was not simple. Otherwise, he would not have used Wanning as an excuse.

Then, he asked, “There are several types of tuberculosis and several stages. I can only draw a conclusion after I take the patient’s pulse.”

“What if it reaches the stage of coughing up blood?”

“Blood? That would be the middle to late stages. At the moment, I can only suppress the illness. There was no possibility of a cure.”

Of course, if he used Western medicine, it might be possible. The downside is that the patient would have to continue taking it, so Gu Chengrui did not want to take that risk.

After Uncle Feng heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief for some reason.

Because he clearly knew that if the Emperor survived somehow, he would not easily give up the throne. This way, the hard days of King Rui would still go on, so it would be better to take the opportunity to ascend the throne.

So, he asked, “Can you give me a prescription and see if it can be used to slow down the illness?”

“Of course.” Gu Chengrui passed by the accounting room and went in to write a prescription. Then, he said, “If the conditions permit, the patient can eat more horse-toothed orchid, which is also commonly known as hemp lettuce. It may have a soothing effect.”

“I understand. Thank you for making this trip.”

“You’re welcome. If there’s anything you need, just let us know. Also, if there’s any news from His Highness, send it to us.”

“Definitely.”

After Gu Chengrui left, Butler Feng wrote a letter back to King Rui.

Although he didn’t mention any names, Zhou Ying was able to guess the patient from his tone.

After entering the interspace at night, Zhou Ying followed the letter all the way to King Rui.

At first, she didn’t recognize King Rui. It wasn’t until he gave the prescription to Xiao Heng that Zhou Ying confirmed his identity.

She also learned that the Emperor had contracted tuberculosis..
