After staring at each other for a moment, Gu Yanxi asked in a much lower voice than usual, "Do you think the south is more dangerous than the east?"
"No, the Chaoli tribe poses a greater threat. No matter how much we hate them, we have to admit that they are very powerful, especially their cavalry. Two cavalrymen from the Daqing Dynasty can only defeat one of theirs. If they encounter elite soldiers, they may not be able to withstand it. Their ability to raise horses is innate, and the Daqing Dynasty has been training them for many years, but they are still far behind. Therefore, the Daqing Dynasty cannot be in chaos. Once there is chaos, they will definitely come to bite us. As for the Yan Kingdom."
Hua Zhi walked to the window and pushed it higher, and the cold air hit her face. "I don't know much about Yan Country. I wonder how much Mr. Lu knows about them?"
Gu Yanxi turned around and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, "I understand as much as he showed us."
Hua Zhi smiled and said, "Look, how easy it is to talk to smart people." She had no great ambitions, but she also knew that no egg would be left unbroken if the nest was overturned. The country was so magical. When it was doing well, you might not have any problems, but when it was not doing well, you could forget about it.
"By the way, I want to buy that cloak, but Mr. Lu knows my situation, so I can only owe you the money for now. I will definitely pay you back when I return."
Gu Yanxi remained silent and did not say that it was the snow fox fur hunted by the emperor himself, and that it was not given to any other prince but only to him, and that it could not be bought with any amount of money.
"I have all the gold bars in my mind. I will pay them back slowly." Hua Zhi turned to look at him. "Mr. Cheng Lu has helped me a lot. I don't know how I can ever pay it back."
"I dare not claim it. The gold bar belongs to Shaoyao. Don't underestimate her. She can bring back a cart full of stuff after each consultation."
This was not a lie. The ladies in the palace trusted Shaoyao very much now. Whenever they had a headache or an illness, they liked to ask her to go with them. They would reward her a lot every time. So before he came out, he asked Shaoyao to bring a lot of gold bars. With Hua Zhi's personality, if he did anything else it would only arouse her vigilance. Shaoyao was someone she kept in a safe area, so she would feel more at ease.
Just as he understood, Hua Zhi felt much more relieved when she heard it was Shaoyao. Friends can help each other, and she will do her best for Shaoyao in the future.
The two stopped talking, but the atmosphere was not awkward.
Shaoyao poked her head in the door, frowned slightly, but ultimately decided not to go in and disturb them.
As much as she wanted Huahua to be her sister-in-law, she was as worried that she would really become her sister-in-law. The royal family was too complicated, with so many women. She felt exhausted watching them scheme every day. She didn't want Huahua to live that kind of life at all.
But if she could become her sister-in-law, Brother Yan would be happy. She wants Brother Yan to be happy.
No matter how much the Emperor trusts him and how well the Queen Mother treats Brother Yan, Brother Yan actually has no home, just like her. They are each other's relatives, but neither has a home.
That's why she clings to Huahua so much, and that's why Brother Yan has to hide his identity and stay with Huahua.
"Caocao?" Hua Zhi came out and saw Shaoyao sitting on the ground. Her expression was full of sadness and she looked so pitiful, like an abandoned child.
Shaoyao jumped up, all the gloom disappeared as she smiled, "Huahua, when are you going back? I plan to stay for a while."
Hua Zhi was a little surprised, "Why do you want to stay here?"
"I found a medicinal herb here that is only available here. It is about to mature. I have to wait."
Seeing Shaoyao didn't seem to be faking it, Hua Zhi also felt that only such a thing could attract Shaoyao. She tapped her forehead helplessly and turned back to look at Mr. Lu, "Does Mr. Lu agree?"
Gu Yanxi smiled, "This is a common thing for her. Last year, she went to the mountains to collect herbs and was gone for three months. It was already winter and she hadn't returned yet. I was afraid that she would freeze to death in the mountains, so I asked a few brothers to find her."
"If you are obsessed with one thing, you will achieve something. If you are careless, you will be very powerful in the future."
Shaoyao raised her chin proudly, "I am already very powerful now."
Hua Zhi led her downstairs and said, "Dr. Shaoyao is so great. Come with me to practice medicine and treat illnesses now."
"Who? Who's sick?"
The sick ones were the younger generation of the Hua family, one of whom was Hua Zhi’s twelve-year-old half-brother Hua Baili.
Seeing Hua Zhi, Hua Baili struggled to get up and salute. Hua Zhi motioned him to lie down, "Don't move, let the doctor take a look."
Although Hua Baili is the eldest son of the eldest son in the family, he is bound by the rules of the Hua family. In addition, Hua Pingyu has always doted on his wife, so he did not grow up to be a bad person and he knows when to advance and retreat.
Hua Zhi also looked at Berlin and her fourth uncle's son Bai Jun differently. She had little contact with her other brothers and sisters, and she rarely spoke to her half-brother. When she noticed Hua Baili peeking at her, she pretended not to know and waited quietly for Shaoyao's diagnosis results.
"To put it simply, he is suffering from acclimatization problems and his body is too weak. I gave him two prescriptions, one for drinking and one for bathing, to adjust his body's foundation."
"Okay, let's go check out the others."
The problems of several people are similar, but they have never suffered such hardship and cannot adapt to it for a while. If they fall into the hands of mediocre doctors, it is hard to say whether they will suffer or not. However, Shaoyao can take this opportunity to improve their foundation. This is the difference between a miracle doctor and a mediocre doctor.
Pingyu came back just as he had laid out the paper flowers. He was breathing rapidly and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.
There was a large basin of charcoal burning in the room, and the temperature was higher than outside.
Signaling Shaoyao to continue prescribing her prescription, Hua Zhi added a chair next to the charcoal basin, helped her father to sit down, turned around and wrung out a hot towel, "Hurry up and cover yourself."
Hua Pingyu put the towel on his face and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This was the closeness between father and daughter that they didn't have at home. He always felt that his daughter didn't kiss him, so he was indifferent, and it has been like this for so many years.
After he wiped his hands and face, a cup of hot tea was placed in his palm.
"Huahua, it's done."
Hua Zhi picked up the two prescriptions and looked at them. Seeing that the herbs were common, she felt relieved. She called Chen Shan over and said, "Go get the herbs. Bring back a few more prescriptions. Keep the prescriptions safe. This one is for treating colds. If anyone in the family catches a cold again, this prescription can still be used. This one is for taking a bath. Oh, by the way, can anyone use it?"
"Not everyone. Your father and his family can't use it. It can only be given to your brother and his family. I'll open another one."
"Okay, then open another one. My father, the others, and my grandfather will all be able to use it."
"Know."
Shaoyao quickly opened another piece of paper and handed it to Chen Shan before the ink had dried. Chen Shan quickly held it like a treasure, being very careful not to blur the words.
"Count how many people are in the family, and each of them needs it."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Hua Pingyu drank his tea reservedly without even looking over there, but his ears were perked up to take in all the words spoken, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes due to his smile.
He never knew that a person could hide his incompetence so well that he could deceive so many people in the Hua family. But when he thought that this person was his daughter, he was really proud.
This is his daughter!
