The diluted medicinal liquid only had a faint sweet smell. Imperial Physician Qin could not smell anything with his nose alone.
He lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes. Imperial Physician Qin did not say anything. He raised his head and drank the antidote in one gulp.
“Thank you, Miss Gu. I’ll go back first.” Imperial Physician Qin cupped his hands and turned around to leave without looking back.
Lil’ Qi asked the other bodyguards to send Imperial physician Qin back. She pouted and returned to Gu Qingxue’s side.
Gu Qingxue was amused by Lil’ Qi’s cute appearance. She reached out her hand and gently poked Lil’ Qi’s cheek.
Lil’ Qi stomped her feet and said angrily, “Lady Gu, you’re bullying me again!”
Gu Qingxue could not help but laugh, “It’s obvious that you’re the one who’s angry. Tell me, who’s the one who accidentally provoked you again?”
Lil’ Qi glanced at Gu Qingxue unwillingly, and her tone became even more resentful. “This servant doesn’t understand Lady Gu, so why did you let them off so easily? Lady Gu clearly knows how they treated you previously!”
Lil’ Qi’s men at the inner peace pharmacy had clearly helped control the plague with good intentions previously, but in the end, they were captured by Prince Heng and sent to prison. Many of them suffered a lot in prison.
However, the grievances they had suffered were nothing in front of Gu Qingxue.
In Lil’ Qi’s opinion, Lady Gu was the one who had suffered the most!
However, Gu Qingxue still gave them the antidote. Was she not being too merciful to them?
“Lady Gu, you are too merciful to others. One day, they will come to hurt you.” Lil’ Qi looked at Gu Qingxue worriedly. She kept thinking that others would bully her.
Seeing Lil’ Qi’s serious face, Gu Qingxue could not help but laugh, “Yes, thank you for your concern. However, the plague is no small matter. I can’t ignore their lives just because of my personal grudge.”
Lil’ Qi listened to Gu Qingxue’s serious words, indeed, she couldn’t find any words to refute, “It’s my fault for not considering it thoroughly enough. Lady Gu is right. However, this servant feels that if we just let it go this time, they will definitely make things worse in the future.”
Lil’ Qi’s consideration did make some sense.
Gu Qingxue nodded and said thoughtfully, “I will consider it. However, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Seeing that Gu Qingxue was full of confidence, Lil’ Qi felt relieved. She walked forward intimately and held Gu Qingxue’s arm. “It makes sense. Lady Gu is going to Jing City soon. With so many eyes watching, they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble even if they wanted to.”
Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows in surprise. “To Jing City?”
Lil’ Qi nodded and smiled. “Yes, Lady Gu. You’re going to Jing City next. You’re going to the imperial palace to receive your reward!”
Gu Qingxue understood what Lil’ Qi meant.
She was the one who had discovered the plague and controlled it. After being maliciously interfered with and causing the spread of the plague, she immediately turned the tide and created a medicine that could cure the plague.
She was the one who contributed greatly to solving the plague this time. Logically speaking, she should have entered the palace and been rewarded.
If it were not for Lil’ Qi’s reminder, she would have forgotten about this matter.
Gu Qingxue looked into the distance and said with a smile, “I should go back and take a look at my family members.”
The family members she was talking about were not the Gu family members, but her foster parents.
