"Master, you almost scared your disciple to death." Old Master Tong's eyes were full of tears. He couldn't afford to lose his master again just because of an experiment. He had scolded XiangBei in his heart a thousand times for urging him just now.
"Grandpa, don't worry. It's just that Grandpa drank a little too much earlier, right? Look, this thing is really good. We'll just drink less of it next time." XiangBei stuck out her tongue. She didn't expect the chief physician, doctor Li to be such a generous and heroic person. How resolute must he be to drink the medicine like it was alcohol?
"XiangBei, stop making up stories. This medicine is precious. Do you think it's homemade rice wine? Your urging almost scared your grandfather into illness. You're mischievous." Mrs. Huo stepped in and said a few words to shift the old man's attention. Tong's old master always protected XiangBei. It was unacceptable to criticize her.
"She didn't scare me. The medicine has also improved Master's skills, hasn't it? Don't always blame her for everything." "Yes, Dad." Mrs. Huo rarely spoke up for XiangBei. But by speaking up, she ended up feeling embarrassed herself.
"Mrs. Tong is right. This medicine maybe really can be called Elixir is indeed domineering. Without someone with profound martial arts guiding the internal force, it can indeed be life-threatening. Master Tong can only use it sparingly for guidance in the future." Cheng Mo's words were very reasonable, but XiangBei couldn't help feeling that he was taking on the role of her son-in-law. It was a good tactic for family harmony, so she gave him a thumbs-up.
By now, royal chief physician doctor Li was refreshed and in high spirits, walking briskly. He had already decided on the dosage and usage for Rongzhi, feeling extremely relieved. "Prince Mo is right. This medicine is domineering but effective. I am confident that I will be able to cure Prince Rong's amnesia in no time. I wonder if Prince Mo could spare some of the remaining medicine? I will carefully consider the dosage for everyone and ensure that it is used to enhance their health."
"That's natural. Feel free to handle it as you see fit." Cheng Mo glanced at XiangBei and saw her nod slightly.
"Thank you, Prince Mo." Everyone stood up to thank Cheng Mo.
"No need for so much formality, please have a seat, everyone. XiangBei has something she'd like to discuss with the elders."
"Great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and mother, I would like to ask all the elders to consider relocating the entire Tong family down the mountain. The younger generation is all busy down there, and Sihan is still young. He hasn't had his mother by his side for so many years, and now he is studying in town. He hopes that you can be nearby to look after him." XiangBei used modern negotiation tactics, getting straight to the point, starting with the beloved little master, Tong Sihan, to persuade her family. Mrs Tong immediately nodded in agreement, and her servant, Tong Dingshan, naturally followed his wife's lead, always steadfast.
"Prince Rong's condition is improving, but his brother Prince Mo is busy with affairs and can't stay on the mountain all the time. He may still have a big secret in his heart, so security becomes a big issue. If we could secretly move to the new estate down the mountain, with the treatment from Great-grandfather and grandfather, and Cheng Mo's daily company, he should recover faster. So—" XiangBei turned to Dr. Li and explained the situation and the interests involved.
"XiangBei, you don't need to say more. We discussed this yesterday after Prince Mo left. We'll move, all of us. Grandfather sought refuge in these mountains out of necessity. Now that your great-grandfather has been found, and he's getting older, it's inconvenient for him to live in the deep mountains. As for me, as long as I'm with Master, it doesn't matter where we live." Old Master Tong, who loved XiangBei the most and recognized her abilities, had never treated his granddaughter as an ignorant girl. Every time she made a suggestion, he took it very seriously. "As you said, your mother just came back, and Sihan needs her care," Tong Dingshan missed them terribly every day since they left home. This topic hit him hard, "Besides, my XiangBei has grown up. She'll be coming of age in a few months. It's time for her mother to arrange her marriage."
"What? No, XiangBei doesn't need an arranged marriage. Let's focus on the relocation, such a big event." Cheng Mo was getting anxious, and if XiangBei hadn't been pinching him behind, he might have blurted out his feelings by now.
"Yeah, yeah, I still have several months before coming of age. Let's deal with the present first. The day after tomorrow is Cheng Mo's twentieth birthday, and during this special time, he only wants to spend it on our mountain with Prince Rong." XiangBei skillfully diverted the topic, soothing the anxious Cheng Mo.
"Yes, yes, let's celebrate Cheng Mo's birthday first and then relocate. Relocate." Dr. Li had followed Little Cheng Mo for almost ten years. Although everyone more or less understood the minds of these two children, he was the one who most hoped to see Cheng Mo's wishes fulfilled. At this moment, he decided to go along with it and secretly reminded himself to prepare for some things with Cheng Zhong and the others.
