Ding Mao’s mind was racing. On the other hand, Mr. Hua was still worried.
“Will this work?” As Mr. Hua looked at Kong Rui and Ding Mao, he felt that Kong Rui seemed to be taking this too lightly.
Kong Rui reassured Mr. Hua without hesitation, “Don’t worry, the prescription isn’t difficult to follow.”
“I’ll stay tonight. After ensuring Hua Shang’s safety tonight, the subsequent treatment will be easier,” Kong Rui explained patiently.
With Kong Rui’s words, Mr. Hua felt more at ease.
Not knowing how to react, Ding Mao stood where he was.
Kong Rui was invited to the side hall for tea by Mr. Hua and waited for the servants to buy the herbs.
Kong Rui’s prescription was actually written according to the few secret prescriptions she had seen in the Li family last time.
It was coupled with the poison techniques taught to her by the Poison Master in the Demon Abyss and this was her first time trying it out.
However, Kong Rui was very confident in her prescription. At the very least, it could guarantee Hua Shang’s recovery and allow him to temporarily resist the curse technique.
Kong Rui wrote down at least dozens of herbs, of which a few might not be able to be bought at ordinary herb shops.
Therefore, the servant spent most of the day buying all these herbs.
It was almost evening when the servant returned with two large boxes of herbs.
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows as she looked at the herbs. They were indeed written on her prescription, and they were all high-grade spirit herbs.
Kong Rui nodded in satisfaction before picking up another piece of paper and writing down the names of a few herbs.
She handed the prescription to Ding Mao. “Grind these herbs into powder.”
“Me?” Ding Mao pointed at his nose as he looked at Kong Rui in disbelief.
He had been a spiritual doctor for decades, so he had left the grinding of medicinal herbs to his subordinates long ago. This little girl actually asked him to grind medicinal herbs?
This was simply an insult!
Ding Mao was about to flare up when he heard Kong Rui say, “These herbs have to be ground carefully. After grinding, divide them into three portions. I want to use them later.”
With that, Kong Rui stuffed the prescription into Ding Mao’s hand and turned to look for something in the herb box.
Ding Mao trembled in anger. As he watched Kong Rui busying, he wished he could rush over and teach her a lesson.
However, when he looked down at the prescription in his hand, he frowned. After a while, he brought the prescription closer to his eyes to take a look.
After a while, he let out a cry and turned around to grind the herbs.
When Mr. Hua saw Ding Mao’s strange reaction, he couldn’t help but frown.
Seeing that Kong Rui was busy, Mr. Hua didn’t want to disturb her.
After a while, he finally couldn’t help but lean towards Kong Rui and ask, “How did you predict that he would do what you instructed?”
Mr. Hua was too curious, so he couldn’t help but ask.
When Kong Rui turned around and saw Ding Mao’s excited expression, she couldn’t help but smile. “He’s a real doctor.”
“Huh?” Mr. Hua was baffled by Kong Rui’s words. After freezing for a moment, he turned to look at Ding Mao.
“He understood the prescription,” Kong Rui explained simply. “I think he trusts me a little now.”
Kong Rui smiled and continued to deal with the herbs.
Mr. Hua wanted to instruct the servant to help Kong Rui, but Kong Rui rejected him without hesitation.
“The two of us are enough,” Kong Rui emphasized. “If we’re not careful with the poison, other people might be poisoned. Just wait outside.”
When Mr. Hua heard this, he subconsciously took half a step back, but he didn’t leave. Instead, he returned to the central hall and waited quietly.
Kong Rui and Ding Mao reached a tacit understanding.
After Ding Mao started grinding the herbs, he no longer had that many doubts about Kong Rui’s instructions.
Although he would occasionally hesitate over what Kong Rui wanted him to do, he would carry it out soon afterwards.
Before midnight, the herbs were completely prepared.
After Kong Rui went to the small kitchen in Hua Shang’s courtyard, she started to boil medicine on the fire that the maidservant had lit.
She originally wanted to try refining a cauldron of pills to see if she could make Hua Shang recover faster, but she didn’t know if it was because her cultivation level was insufficient or because she didn’t have Chao Bai by her side, but her alchemy skills were not very effective.
She tried a few times but failed. Helpless, she could only use the method of boiling medicine to temporarily stabilize Hua Shang’s condition.
Kong Rui kept staring at the medicinal furnace. She didn’t dare to be distracted.
Ding Mao stayed by the side to listen to Kong Rui’s orders.
It wasn’t until dawn that Kong Rui’s medicine was finally ready!
