Chapter 581: Solving Problems

Sword One was confused.

Why was this idea related to Mr. Zhao? Mr. Zhao was an excellent man, but he was just… a doctor! Could this doctor fight against thousands of soldiers?

“Lady Chaoyan,” Zhao Yiqiu said with a smile. He was one generation older than Chaoyan, but he was not putting on any airs. He was like everyone else, greeting her as Lady Chaoyan. He found a place himself and sat down.

He liked the tea Gu Chaoyan served here. He would always pour himself a cup of tea before Sword One served him.

He did not like the etiquette, and the same went for Gu Chaoyan. So they behaved freely, like two old friends.

“You are back Mr. Zhao, want Tieguanyin or anything else this time?” Gu Chaoyan asked politely.

Mr. Zhao shook his head. He sipped the tea and said, “I don’t have a deep knowledge of tea, but I like the tea served at your place, so just give me any kind you have, don’t trouble yourself too much.”

As he finished saying these words, he looked at Sword One and said politely, “The pastry you gave me last time was very tasty, could you please prepare some more for me, Ms. Sword One?”

Sword One got startled for a moment and then nodded. She was a maid who understood etiquette, as she was serving her Elder Miss.

Mr. Zhao was implicitly telling her to leave the place, since he needed to have a few words with Elder Miss. Honestly, Mr. Zhao had never eaten any pastry when he was here.

She asked a minor maid to fetch the pastry, whilst she guarded the door outside.

When Sword One was out of the room, Mr. Zhao asked, “You remember the Pearl Poison I told you about before, Lady Chaoyan? Have you got any idea how to detoxify that?”

Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly.

Mr. Zhao did ask her about this before, and she did check up on the solution in her space. And she found the solution, but she did not go to Mr. Zhao…

She had thought about this before and knew who was in need of it.

Mr. Zhao visited the court every single day, and there was only one person who could let him do that – the King.

The King was poisoned.

She did not want to detoxify the King, so she stopped mentioning it, but as she returned from the Officer’s place, she believed that her solutions should work.

Now was the time.

The King was not a nice man, he wanted to marry Xunyang to Gu Yunhe and defaultly approved of Gu Yunhe’s plan upon Princess Xunyang. She did not have to save the King, but she could use it as an exchange condition.

She should have gone to Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Zhao turned to her before she did anything.

Well, that meant one thing – the King’s health was deteriorating.

That made Mr. Zhao feel anxious.

If that was the case… she was definitely going to get her dowries back!

Gu Chaoyan smiled happily. “Yes, but not completely. I can slow down the progress.”

Mr. Zhao had been looking quite calm, but his eyes brightened as he heard these words.

How could that be?

She had a solution!

Had he underestimated this girl?

“Really, Lady Chaoyan, can you slow down the progress?” Mr. Zhao asked.

“Sure, but I am not doing this for free,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.

“What is the condition?”
