Chapter 156 Qi Mansion

"Master Liu, it depends on you whether we can cure the Prince Regent." Su Wan had no way to contact the Prince Regent and had to rely on Dr. Liu.

But Dr. Liu is in danger. What if the regent pursues him?

Su Wan was a little unsure whether Dr. Liu would be willing to help.

On the one hand, Imperial Physician Liu wanted to cure the regent, but on the other hand, he was worried about the regent's future settlement.

The regent's character is a bit ungrateful.

Only others are allowed to obey his orders.

If you disobey him, even if it is for his own good, you may not be merciful.

"I'll think about it again." Doctor Liu didn't agree at all. "If you come to me today, Luo Cheng should bring it. I'm afraid the news has already reached the ears of the Regent. If I ask for his pulse in the future, the Regent will Without asking, I will help you this time.”

"Thank you." Su Wan bowed.

Imperial Physician Liu waved his hand: "I am also doing this for Da Zhou."

Su Wan didn't ask any more questions, took Luo Cheng and left.

Luo Cheng was shocked that the regent's poison was the same as Gu Huaizhi!

Gu Huaizhi's complexion has obviously improved, and his poison should be cured.

That's why Su Wan was so successful.

"Miss Su, Mr. Liu is unwilling to help. Even if you risk losing your head, I will still find ways to let you detoxify the regent." Luo Cheng looked very excited, as if he had seen the dawn: "If you can cure the regent, King, if you have any orders from now on, just say so.”

"Okay." Su Wan was not polite to Luo Cheng.

Su Wan's eyes flashed slightly, she took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve and handed it to Luo Cheng: "If Mr. Liu doesn't help, just put this medicine into the medicine he takes."

Luo Cheng said worriedly: "The regent won't take that medicine."

Su Wan sighed: "Just act accordingly."

Say goodbye to Luo Cheng and get on the carriage.

Qi Liu asked: "Miss, where are you going?"

Su Wan's heart moved, "Is the Qi family still there?"

"Still."

"Go and have a look."

The carriage drove to Qi's house. This street was full of high-ranking nobles, with green tiles and red eaves, numerous terraces and pavilions, and two stone lions at the door, looking majestic.

Su Wan got out of the carriage and looked at the neat courtyard. She couldn't help but be stunned. No one from the Qi family was there. She thought the house had been sealed off, but now it seemed that there were still people living there.

"Miss, please wait a moment, I'll knock on the door." Qi Liu stepped forward, held the copper ring on the red lacquer riveted door, and knocked.

"Who is it?" The heavy door opened, and an old man with frost-white hair and beard stuck his head out. He recognized Su Wanlai at a glance. He came out of the door excitedly and bowed with a staggering step: "Miss Cousin, I am the old housekeeper of Qi Mansion, please come in quickly."

Su Wan quickly helped the housekeeper and followed him into the house. She asked doubtfully: "There is no one in the Qi family. Didn't the emperor take the house back?"

"The emperor originally wanted to seal up the house and give it to meritorious ministers in the future. It was the regent who saved it and said that the bloodline of the Qi family has not been cut off, leaving it to you to deal with. You have not been here in these years, so I have been keeping it. "Stay." The housekeeper's eyes filled with tears. The regent's original words were that it was Su Wan's decision to choose someone from his family to adopt to the Qi family.

I originally thought I couldn't wait for Su Wan in this life, but I never thought she would come.

"You can choose from the side, or..." The housekeeper suddenly thought of something and immediately changed his subject: "The Su family has severed ties with you. You can return to the Qi family and inherit the Qi family."

Su Wan's heart moved and she said thoughtfully, "Let's choose from the side."

After inheriting the Qi family, she was afraid that the court's eyes would be on her again, which would be detrimental to Gu Huaizhi.

The housekeeper was disappointed, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "That's fine."

"Is my mother's boudoir still there?" Su Wan looked at the huge general's mansion. It was spotless. It could be seen that the butler's intentions were less popular: "I want to go and see it."

"Yes, yes!" The housekeeper took Su Wan to Biyun Pavilion.

Su Wan opened the door. The yard was filled with bright peonies. She stepped on the bluestone slabs and came to the door. The housekeeper stepped forward and opened the lock. Dust came to her face. She fanned it with her hand and covered it with a handkerchief. Cover your mouth and nose and enter the house.

"This room has been locked since the young lady died of illness and has not been taken care of since then," the housekeeper explained.

Su Wan nodded slightly: "You go and do your work, I'll just take a look."

"Hey, okay!" the housekeeper responded.

As the last ray of light faded from the sky, the butler lit the oil lamp and exited Biyun Pavilion.

Qi Liu was very discerning and waited at the door for Su Wan.

Su Wan stood in the middle of the room. No one had entered the room for a long time. It was too deserted and there was a faint musty smell. She glanced around the room by candlelight. The furnishings were very elegant, and the Duobao Pavilion was filled with rare treasures.

She turned into the inner room, where there was a step-by-step bed, a soft couch by the window, and a round table with celadon tea sets, carved mahogany cabinets, and two boxes.

Su Wan walked to the couch, landed on one leg, and knelt on the couch with the other, preparing to push the window open with both hands.

Her strength was blocked, Su Wan frowned and prepared to stand up straight.

His feet slipped and there was a "plop" sound, and Su Wan was half-lying on the couch.

Su Wan bared her teeth and stood up with her hands on the couch. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong and pressed it on the couch. It seemed that something was loose. She squinted her eyes and opened the reed mat on the couch.

The bottom was made of wooden boards. She knocked on it, and all the sounds were hollow. She looked around and found a dagger with exquisite and complicated carvings on the ancient shelf. When she pulled it out, the blade glowed with a cold light. It’s a good thing to look at. She pried the board up along the gap, and placed a wooden box in the middle.

Su Wan took out the wooden box. It was not locked, but a mechanical device.

She tried to open it, but failed.

Su Wan felt that the things in the box were very important, so she prepared to take it back and slowly unlocked the mechanical lock.

"Miss, are you having dinner here?" The housekeeper's voice sounded outside.

"I have had dinner." Su Wan opened the door, looked at the housekeeper's old face, and asked in a low voice: "Are there no mother's calligraphy and paintings in the room?"

The housekeeper sighed: "When the young lady got married, all the calligraphy and paintings were burned." His eyes fell on the box in Su Wan's hand: "I will get you a bundle?"

"No need." Su Wan spread her hands, and the dagger lay in her palm: "Is this dagger from my mother?"

The housekeeper watched Qi Min grow up, and he still had some impression of her things: "This is a gift from the regent to the young lady."

Su Wan's heart moved. If it was the regent, she suddenly came up with an idea: "Can I take it away?"

The housekeeper had no opinion: "Of course, all the young lady's things are from my cousin."

Su Wan took away a wooden box and a dagger.

Gu Huaizhi was still awake and was dealing with official documents.

Su Wan placed the box in front of him: "Can you open it?"

Gu Huaizhi put down his pen, placed the box in front of him, fiddled with it a few times, and with a "pop", the lid of the wooden box popped open.
