"Your Majesty, Bao'er would like to eat something." Li Wenzhong had been sick for so many days and his body had just recovered, so he was in urgent need of energy. This was also the first time he felt hungry in so many days.
"Okay, eat well, I will ask you to bring you something to eat." Lao Zhu said quickly with a smile.
In fact, there was no need for Lao Zhu to give orders. After hearing that Li Wenzhong wanted to eat, people from Cao Guogong's mansion went to prepare it. The Duke Cao's mansion, immersed in sorrow, became noisy for the first time.
Han Du did not join in the fun and returned quietly. These days, I have to prepare various tools, and I have to keep an eye on the culture of penicillin all the time. I haven't even had a good night's sleep. I am really exhausted.
When Han Du returned to Jinghai Bo Mansion, he let out a long lament when he walked into the room, and fell on the bed without wanting to move.
Princess Anqing heard that Han Du was back and came to see Han Du's situation. But seeing Han Du like this, he couldn't help complaining: "I don't know how to clean myself before going to bed. How do you look like you are so dusty?"
Han Du lay motionless on the bed, just moaning and saying, "I'm too tired and don't want to move at all. Just let me sleep for a while, just this once."
"Not even once." An Qing reached the edge of the bed and slapped Han Du's thigh angrily, only to find that Han Du had already fallen asleep.
An Qing sighed slightly, with a trace of tenderness on his face, and reached out to touch Han Du's face. Han Du never complained in front of her about what he was doing these days. He just said that he was thinking of ways to cure Cao Guogong. But seeing Han Du looking like this from exhaustion, An Qing couldn't help but feel distressed.
After a while, the maid Qinglian came in with a basin of water. She smiled and said, "Princess, please let me wash your uncle."
"No need." An Qing waved his hand to stop Qing Lian, took the towel, and took the initiative to take off Han Du's boots.
Qing Lian glanced at her in panic and said quickly: "How can a princess with a daughter's body do such a thing? Let the slave do it."
An Qing smiled gently at Qinglian and said, "Isn't it right for me to do this for my husband? I heard that common people's couples treat each other like guests."
Qinglian returns
There was something wrong with the decision, so he said: "But this is an ordinary family, and the princess is a noble person from Tianhuang. How can she do such a thing?"
"Aren't nobles and common people all human beings?" An Qing's eyes stopped Qing Lian's words.
The next day, Han Du felt refreshed and didn't notice that An Qing washed himself. He thought it was all done by the maid Qing Lian.
I was anxious to know what changes had occurred in Li Wenzhong's condition, so I checked Li Wenzhong carefully again. What surprised Han Du was that Li Wenzhong's condition improved greatly after just one night. Except that his body is still weak, he is no different from ordinary patients, and he will not fall into a coma easily.
I don’t know whether this is because of Li Wenzhong’s physical strength, or because penicillin is so effective, or maybe both.
Seeing that Li Wenzhong was fine, Han Du stopped giving him any more medicine. After all, Han Du was not sure about the dosage of penicillin, and continuing to use medicine would be counterproductive. With only the imperial doctor watching over him, Han Du returned to the academy.
But just one day later, Han Du was shocked and speechless by a piece of news that came as a bolt from the blue.
"What? You said Duke Cao passed away? This is impossible. We all saw him the day before yesterday."
The servant of Cao Guogong's Mansion looked mournful, nodded to Han Du, and said in a tearful voice: "My father was fine this morning, but he died before noon."
There was only one voice echoing in Han Du's mind, 'This is impossible! 'Even if Li Wenzhong's condition suddenly worsened, he did not die so quickly. Besides, his inflammation was obviously cured by penicillin, how could he die suddenly? Penicillin is an antibiotic. If it was harmful to Li Wenzhong, it would have manifested itself long ago and would not have waited until now.
Han Du hurried to Cao Guogong's mansion and saw that the entire mansion was in a mess. It was obvious that Li Wenzhong's sudden death caught everyone off guard.
"What happened? Why did Bao'er suddenly disappear?" Lao Zhu's exposed voice sounded from behind Han Du.
Han Du turned around and met Lao Zhu's eyes.
Lao Zhu’s eyes are like swords
Staring at Han Du, he now had doubts about Han Du. However, Lao Zhu just glanced at Han Du and said nothing more. He hurriedly rushed into the room to check on Li Wenzhong.
Seeing this, Han Du also entered the door.
Lao Zhu came in and saw Li Wenzhong lying on the bed as usual, and hurried over to wake him up with the hope of being safe. But as soon as Lao Zhu touched Li Wenzhong's hand, he felt cold and stiff, and Lao Zhu had to accept the fact that Li Wenzhong was dead.
"Tell me, what is going on?" Lao Zhu glanced around with a ferocious expression.
The Duke's wife wiped her tears and cried: "The master was fine just now. When I gave him medicine, he was still talking and laughing. But as he said that, he became silent. No matter how he screamed, he was still talking and laughing. He was motionless. Wait... After waiting for a while, I realized that the master had already gone~"
"Madam, you are saying that Mr. Cao Guo was fine when he was given the medicine, but there was no sound after he was given the medicine? Madam, are you sure?" Han Du immediately grasped the key and asked suddenly.
"Why are you so unsure? I haven't even finished taking the medicine yet, and my father-in-law is silent." Mrs. Cao Guogong said firmly while wiping away tears.
After hearing this, Han Du looked at the imperial doctors with cold eyes and said coldly: "Then there is probably something wrong with the medicine."
The imperial doctor in the room was so frightened that he almost suffocated. He knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never dare to harm the Duke. All I prescribe are warm and tonic prescriptions."
"Where's the recipe?" Lao Zhu asked coldly.
The imperial doctor immediately panicked and said: "Yes, yes, yes~"
As he spoke, he took out a prescription from his arms and said: "This is the warming and tonic prescription that I have prescribed for you. Please take a look at it. The people who prepared and prepared the medicine are all people from the Duke's mansion. I have absolutely no idea." An opportunity to intervene."
Lao Zhu had also dabbled in the art of Qihuang, and saw that the medicinal materials in the prescription were indeed tonic, and none of them were poisonous. He let the imperial doctor go for the time being, turned around and asked, "Who went to grab the medicine, and who prepared the medicine?"
Li Wenzhong's death was such a big deal, so naturally the people involved had already been controlled and brought here.
