946 Consort Mei (3)
After Uncle Tang finished speaking in one go, he paused for a moment and sighed. “Everyone says that Master is not destined to die. Two years ago, people said that Master was going to die, but he survived in the end. Now, it happened again. The late empress must be protecting Master from the heavens.”
When Shen Miao heard that Xie Jingxing’s poison had been removed, she heaved a sigh of relief. Ba Jiao and the others also patted their chests, feeling relieved.
Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao and thought to herself that it was not easy for Shen Miao to get the herb from that strange Daoist priest, but now, that herb was useless.
Uncle Tang continued, “When Master woke up, he asked us where you went. I was also afraid that Master would be worried about your safety and fall sick again, so I didn’t tell him.”
!!
Shen Miao said, “You did very well.” She did not want others to know that she went to look for Chi Yan. Firstly, she was afraid that others would take advantage of the situation to do something while she was away. Secondly, she didn’t want others to know that Xie Jingxing was her weakness. Otherwise, in the future, her enemy would continue to target Xie Jingxing just to deal with her.
“I’ll go and see him first,” Shen Miao said.
“Madam.” Uncle Tang stopped her and said, “Master just took the medicine and is already resting. It’s not good to disturb him.”
Shen Miao pondered for a moment and looked at Uncle Tang. “Why isn’t there anyone guarding the door? Why is it so chaotic in the mansion? What’s going on?”
Uncle Tang said apologetically, “Too many things have happened these days. I actually forgot to tell you this. Although everyone in Long Ye knows that Master was saved and that he was out of danger, Madam Ji and Young Master Ji are still worried and have been staying in the mansion for the past few days. I also hid from them where you went and only said that you went to look for a doctor to treat Master. On the other hand, the person who saved Master’s life is considered Master’s benefactor, so I arranged for him to stay in the mansion. Today, when Master woke up, Madam Ji and the others went to see him. That benefactor is sitting in the hall now. Madam Ji and Young Master Ji are both in the hall, saying that they want to thank him. However, he’s not a person who wants wealth and power. Previously, I wanted to give them a thousand gold and silver, but he rejected it.”
“Then what does he want?” Luo Tan asked.
Uncle Tang looked at Luo Tan and said, “I’m also puzzled. Madam Ji asked the benefactor and he said that he happened to pass by that day and saw the post. He thought of the herb that was passed down from his ancestors. It can cure all poisons. Thinking that this herb could save a life, he gave it away without hesitation.”
Luo Tan praised. “Good Samaritan he is. If it were me, I would have to think twice before giving something my ancestors passed down to save a stranger.”
Uncle Tang smiled. “That’s right.” Then, he looked at Shen Miao and said, “It’s good that Madam is back now. Let’s go and see what we can give to them as an exchange.”
