Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (**)

"Young Master, I've prepared the hot water." Lian'er smiled as she walked out of the house, seeing that they had finished their training.

Huangfu Xian looked at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao said, "Go take a bath, don't catch a cold."

"Okay." Huangfu Xian nodded.

Gu Jiao turned around, but Huangfu Xian suddenly stopped her, "Physician Gu, thank you."

Gu Jiao nodded.

Leaving the backyard of Granduncle's house, Gu Jiao entered her own backyard and found Grandaunt sitting in the corridor.

From Grandaunt's perspective, she was looking towards the direction of the rehabilitation area and Gu Jiao instantly understood what Grandaunt had been watching earlier.

"Not playing cards anymore?" Gu Jiao asked with a smirk.

"Humph, I'm going to play now." Empress Dowager Zhuang lifted her chin and walked outside. "Liu Cuihua! We need one more for the game!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang was in a good mood today, and during the card game, she went easy, so the neighbors didn't lose much money.

Gu Jiao returned to her east room.

Little Jing Kong hadn't gone to cla.s.s today and had just been playing with Princess Xinyang. Now, he came running in with a few small buns on his head, "JiaoJiao, JiaoJiao!"

Gu Jiao turned to look at him.

He presented his little head to Gu Jiao, "JiaoJiao, look!"

Gu Jiao tousled his small buns, "Looks nice."

In a few months, he would be able to tie them into larger buns.

Little Jing Kong was both happy and shy, "The princess tied them for me!"

Gu Jiao praised, "She did a great job."

Little Jing Kong said, "JiaoJiao."

Gu Jiao asked, "Hmm?"

"That... Uh..." Little Jing Kong lowered his head and pointed his index fingers together, "Is there still any of that... that... very tasty thing?"

He regretted giving both bottles he found to Princess Xinyang. If he had known, he would have kept one for himself.

Gu Jiao was organizing the little medicine chest. She asked, "What tasty thing?"

Little Jing Kong started peeking into the little medicine chest, "That blue, sweet and sour."

Gu Jiao understood, "Calcium supplement oral solution. No, there isn't any left."

That one only appeared twice and was gone.

Little Jing Kong felt disappointed. He looked and indeed didn't see the small blue bottles in the little medicine chest. He asked in confusion, "Why are there only two bottles this time? Weren't there many more before?"

Now it was Gu Jiao's turn to be puzzled. Oral solution was normally counted by box. There were ten bottles per box, so where did the count of two bottles come from?

"You know... Its like this..." Little Jing Kong scratched his small buns and eventually told Gu Jiao about finding the blue bottles under the bed.

Gu Jiao was absolutely certain that there hadn't been any calcium supplement oral solution in the little medicine chest during this period of time. But talking about some blue medicine... it could only be "Enchanted No.1"!

Gu Jiao asked Little Jing Kong specifically which day he found them, and he said it was the day they sent the little baby away.

Gu Jiao paused, "Was it when the baby was sent to Princess Xinyang or back to his parents?"

"His parents. When his parents came to take him back!" That was the day Enchanted No.1 appeared!

Could it be that when she was putting the medicine back, she accidentally dropped two bottles on the ground?

Gu Jiao closed the little medicine chest and asked, "Where did you put the medicine?"

Surely he hadn't drunk any, or else Little Jing Kong wouldn't be standing here calmly.

Little Jing Kong answered, "That day, the princess was very sad, and I wanted to comfort her, so I gave it to her."

Gu Jiao felt like an arrow had pierced her heart!

No, wait. Princess Xinyang probably hadn't drunk it either, or else there would have been trouble already by now.

Little Jing Kong licked his lips and said, "JiaoJiao, is there any more? I really want to drink it."

Gu Jiao rubbed his little head and replied, "There's none left. But if there's any in the future, I'll save some for you."

Okay!" Little Jing Kong was an obedient child. If Gu Jiao said there wasn't any for now, then he could wait for it in the future.

"By the way, where's the princess?"

"She's gone."

"Gone..." Gu Jiao glanced at the increasingly naughty little medicine chest on the table, resisting the urge to punch it flat. She told Little Jing Kong, "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back soon."

Little Jing Kong responded cutely, "Okay, JiaoJiao!"

Although several days had pa.s.sed without incident, that kind of medicine was still a ticking time bomb. Even if she were unaware before, now that she knew, shouldn't she retrieve it immediately?

Gu Jiao didn't even take a carriage, she rode a horse straight to Zhuque Street.

Yu Jin was watering flowers in the front yard. Seeing Gu Jiao dismounting at the gate, her eyes lit up, "JiaoJiao's here?"

"Aunt Yu Jin." Gu Jiao handed the reins to the servant at the door and walked into the courtyard, "Is the princess here?"

"The princess went to the cloth shop." Yu Jin had intended to go with her, but she had tripped when entering the house, so Princess Xinyang instructed her to rest at home.

Gu Jiao asked, "Aunt Yu Jin, do you know if the princess brought back two blue bottles of medicine?"

Yu Jin looked at Gu Jiao strangely. "I know, why?"

Gu Jiao paused, not mentioning that it was an aphrodisiac, and simply said, "There's a problem with those medicines. Can you give them to me first?"

"The princess indeed gave me the medicine..." Yu Jin said with a complicated expression, "But I gave them to Lord Marquis."

Gu Jiao's mouth slightly went agape, "Marquis Xuanping?"

Yu Jin worriedly said, "Yes, the princess said those two bottles were for leg cramps. I didn't want to drink them, so I kept them. Then I heard Lord Marquis complaining about leg pain last time I went to Bishui Alley, so I took them over to him today... Did I cause any trouble?"

Gu Jiao collected herself, "It's alright, it's alright."

It was better that Marquis Xuanping drank them than the princess.

Although that medicine was potent, Marquis Xuanping had strong self-control.

Besides, his whole body was in a cast, so he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.

He couldnt have people carrying him off to brothels to seek out women either.

Gu Jiao forced a smile, "I'll go back first."

Yu Jin hesitated, "Ah, alright."

In the midst of the urgency, Yu Jin didn't have time to ask Gu Jiao what the problem was with those medicines.

Gu Jiao rushed back to Bishui Alley without stopping. Her first task was to find Marquis Xuanping, who was sunbathing in the backyard.

Panting, Gu Jiao walked over and asked, "Marquis, did you drink the medicine Yu Jin gave you?"

Marquis Xuanping glanced at her, "No."

Gu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief internally and reached out her hand, "Then give it to me quickly."

Marquis Xuanping said lightly, "There's none left."

Gu Jiao was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"

Marquis Xuanping glanced down the corridor, "Well, she drank it."

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel Records of Mortals, Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the s.h.i.+ family of Changan due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ familys young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like s.h.i.+ Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, Youre really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And alsoyou have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

s.h.i.+ Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, Ill only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though
