"Really?" Zuo Xiangning looked toward Gu Zhiqing, smiling as she expressed her thanks, "I don't know where Official Gu found such a doctor, whose medical skills are so superb."
"He's the junior apprentice-brother of my maternal uncle." Gu Zhiqing smiled, "He just came to the capital to visit my uncle before the new year. It was by chance that I met the Second Young Master and thought to have him give it a try."
"What did the doctor say?" Zuo Xiangning inquired, "How long will it take to cure Auntie Liu's illness?"
Gu Zhiqing glanced at Zuo Ziteng, "The Second Young Master must also be prepared. The doctor said to start with a prescription to be taken twice. If it is effective, he can treat it; if not..."
"Brother Gu need not worry, I have long been prepared." Zuo Ziteng said with a bitter smile, "At least he said there is hope. Right now, I'm simply trying anything, as a dead horse being used as a living horse doctor. If it can buy us more time, that's good."
