Zhong Lang was slightly stunned. He asked instead of answering, “Why don’t you the questions your brother asked me? Why don’t you ask me where I’m from, why I came to the Capital City, and if anyone will come after me?”
She did not answer Liang Yi’s question.
Liu Shimei smiled and said, “If you want to tell me, I won’t ask you. But if you don’t want to tell me, I won’t be able to pry your mouth open even if I use a thousand gold diamonds. What’s the point?”
Zhong Lang was silent.
“Whether you’re here to avoid trouble or not, I’ll keep your whereabouts a secret. However, I also hope that the matter of revenge in the martial world will not implicate me.”
“You are not an ordinary doctor, but the descendant of a noble?” Zhong Lang did not ask in a questioning tone.
Liu Shimei smiled faintly and did not explain this question. It could be considered as a tacit agreement.
…..
She continued, “Man plans, God disposes. I will do my best to cure you, but I can’t guarantee that I will be able to cure you. If your identity will bring me trouble, I hope you can tell me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared. As for your background, I’m not very interested.”
Zhong Lang stopped talking and looked at her silently while enduring the pain in his body.
Liu Shimei did not stay in the room. Instead, she went out to see Granny Lan brewing the medicine.
When the medicine was ready, it was sent over.
Zhong Lang drank the medicine very quickly, as if he could not smell the stench at all. When it cooled down a little, he drank it without even frowning.
Liu Shimei was not anxious at all. After waiting for an hour for the medicine to take effect, she checked his pulse again.
“Is it working?” Zhong Lang asked after he finished.
“You should know whether it worked or not, right? If it works, you definitely won’t be in so much pain. I’m just guessing now. To put it bluntly, you’re just a test subject, so don’t get your hopes up.”
After Liu Shimei answered his question, she continued, “It’s too late. I’ll go back first. I’ll come back tomorrow morning to see how you’re doing. Then, I’ll go back and prescribe some medicine. I’ll send someone to send the medicine over.”
Zhong Lang was not a busybody, so he did not ask anything.
Liu Shimei went out and returned to the Liang Residence along the way.
She was a scholar and had never practiced martial arts.
Therefore, she did not notice anyone following him on the way here, and she did not feel anything on the way back either.
A shadow followed behind her, watching her walk into the Liang Residence’s back door. It never showed itself.
The Liang Residence was a family of generals, and there were many experts in it. Therefore, the shadow did not follow her into the backyard. Instead, it stood tall and upright on the wall, watching her figure disappear into the garden.
This person’s pair of thin lips muttered, “Where is she taking care of that man? Who is it?”
Liu Shimei, who was completely unaware of this, came over to take Zhong Lang’s pulse the next morning.
After letting go of his wrist, she said, “I can only stop your vomiting and diarrhea now. Also, according to you, the medicine prescribed is mainly to protect your internal organs. Do you feel better after a night?”
Zhong Lang nodded. “My vomiting and diarrhea have decreased. Initially, there would be two to three times every two hours. Last night, it was about once every two hours.”
“Hmm. This means that my medicine can suppress your symptoms and temporarily protect your organs. However, I can’t guarantee that it will be effective against the poison.”
Zhong Lang did not know much about medicine, but he understood the logic behind it. “It also means that your medicine is more or less useful!”
Liu Shimei smiled. “Haste makes waste. You’re a tough guy. You’ll definitely be able to hold on.”
With that, she left.
What was going on with people in the martial arts world avoiding disaster in the Imperial Capital?
That was because the people in the martial world were heroes, but to the Imperial Court, they were bandits!
Therefore, people in the martial arts world would keep a low profile in the Capital and would not easily expose their whereabouts and identity.
It was precisely because of this that hiding in the Capital City and changing his name could avoid many enemies in the martial arts world!
Zhong Lang was most likely this type of person.
Liu Shimei came to the Zheng Medical Hall and prescribed a dose of medicine. She passed it to the long-term worker who came to pick up the medicine from the back door and returned to Du Gong’s side.
Du Gong was still very busy and did not even raise his head.. “Are you feeling better?”
