"Madam, Young Master has vomited again. You should go and check on him," the anxious maid rushed over to Gu Yuxuan, disregarding the presence of others as she quickly reported.
Upon hearing that her son was unwell again, Li Ruofeng dropped her chopsticks and stumbled to her feet, nearly falling to the ground. Recently, Gu Yuxuan's condition had been fluctuating, and it was hard to tell how long he had been ill. Each time he showed signs of recovery, he would ignore Li Ruofeng's advice and study late into the night.
The family members, including the old matriarch, all went to Gu Yuxuan's courtyard. With his younger brother gravely ill, Pei Zhirui also followed to offer his concern.
Once the unrelated people had left, Gu Qingning turned to Gu Haotian and asked, "Elder Brother, will you be staying in the capital for long after you arrive?"
Knowing that Gu Haotian could not remain in the capital for an extended period, Gu Qingning still asked out of concern. She had already married, and Gu Haotian's marriage could not be delayed any longer. She remembered that shortly after her marriage to Pei Zhirui, Gu Changqing had brought up Gu Haotian's marriage plans.
After marrying Zhang Yiwen, Gu Haotian only stayed in the capital for three days before heading to the frontier.
"I'll be at the frontier in a few days. During that time, you must get along well with the Prince and not throw tantrums," Gu Haotian said with a pained expression for his sister but also wanting to check on his brother.
Lest that fierce Prince next to him confront him—his eloquence was not good enough to handle such a person.
"Elder Brother, I'm your sister. Why are you helping him?" Gu Qingning feigned anger.
She knew there was a secret between Pei Zhiqing and Gu Haotian.
"Prince, why don't you play a game of chess with me?" Gu Changqing suggested as he sent Pei Zhiqing away, allowing the siblings some privacy.
It seemed that he had not chosen wrong for his daughter. He thought of his late wife; if she could see this scene, she would surely be comforted from beyond.
Just then, Li Ruofeng rushed into the main hall and knelt before Gu Qingning, pleading, "Qingning, I beg you to help me."
Gu Qingning looked bewildered. All eyes were on her.
Soon after, Gu Yanran arrived, her eyes red and her expression extremely grim.
"Aunt, what's wrong? Please speak up."
Gu Yuxuan's illness had struck with great severity this time; even Doctor Du was at a loss. Li Ruofeng had no choice but to plead with Gu Qingning once again.
"Qingning, please save your brother. If he dies, I won't be able to live either."
"Aunt, Xuan'er is ill; you should find a doctor, not me."
Gu Changqing couldn't stand Li Ruofeng's subtly threatening demeanor, as if Gu Qingning were her daughter and could be manipulated at will.
"Why are you all still standing here? Hurry and find a doctor!"
The onlookers quickly dispersed.
"Last time when Xuan'er was seriously ill, it was you who brought out the medicine that helped him recover. Can you give Aunt another pill?"
Since there was one pill before, Li Ruofeng assumed there must be another.
Gu Qingning frowned and replied, "I already told you last time that there was only one pill, and I have given it to you. I can't do anything more."
She indeed only had one pill in her hand; even if she had more, she wouldn't give them to her.
"Gu Qingning, he is your brother! You can't just watch him die. Aunt has no other way; she can only kneel and beg you. Please look for another pill; maybe you can find one."
Feeling helpless, Gu Qingning had no choice but to let Bai Zhi and Lu Yan take Li Ruofeng to the pharmacy to search for it herself.
Gu Yanran followed closely behind Li Ruofeng into the pharmacy.
The pharmacy had not been used for a long time, and many medicines were already gone.
Pei Zhirui trailed behind Gu Yanran and leaned in to whisper, "Why don't you say that Gu Qingning knows medicine?"
Gu Yanran froze for a moment.
In the Zhongyuan Marquis's residence, she had never known that Gu Qingning possessed medical skills; she only knew that this small private pharmacy was left by Shi Min.
She had never considered Gu Qingning in such a light before.
"This pharmacy belonged to Gu Qingning's late mother. I've never seen her practice medicine or heard of her medical knowledge. Could it be that we are being too suspicious?"
It is highly likely that Gu Qingning possesses medical skills, but Gu Yanran could not let Pei Zhirui continue to make mistakes. She had no choice but to find an excuse to settle the matter.
