One arrow, two birds

  One arrow, two birds

  For convenience in future actions, Luo Tian gave himself a pseudonym - Kong Xi.

  Luotian remembered that Gu Huajun just smiled meaningfully after hearing the name, and didn't express any opinion about this fake name. Gu Huajun said he was taking care of himself at the request of a friend, Luotian thought for a moment, the so-called friend was probably Xi Kong.

  Luo Tian came up with this fake name while thinking about Xi Kong in his heart, but he didn't delve deeper into why such a thought would appear in his mind.

  "Kong Dafu, this way, please." Yuetan's words broke into Luo Tian's reverie.

  Gu Ji Xue left the Prime Minister's mansion due to an urgent matter, so Yue Zhuan led Luo Tian to the old lady's bedroom. The moment he saw the bedridden old lady, Luo Tian felt the complexity of this family's relationships.

  The decorations in the bedroom are very luxurious, and it seems that this old lady is also a person who enjoys good fortune; however, as winter approaches, there is no heating in the bedroom, which again shows that the old lady is not actually valued.

  The room was filled with a strong medicinal scent, and Luo Tian knew at once that these medicines were all of medium quality. Could it be that the prime minister couldn't afford to buy top-grade medicine? How could that be possible?

  After some thought, there is only one possibility: the prime minister does not want the old lady's illness to be cured too quickly. He wants to use her illness for some purpose.

  Thinking of the wanted poster that was taken down by himself at the entrance of the Prime Minister's mansion, Luo Tian roughly understood some things. By now, probably everyone in the world already knows that the Prime Minister is a filial son. While spreading his good reputation, he can also widely recruit talents, this must be the Prime Minister's plan.

  If Luo Tian wasn't mistaken, another new wanted poster had probably been posted at the entrance of the Prime Minister's estate.

  At this point, Luo Tian couldn't help but consider whether he should cure the old lady's illness.

  A woman who should have spent her later years in comfort and tranquility, surrounded by her grandchildren, was instead forced to become a tool for fame and profit in the prime minister's household, it's really pitiful.

  So Luo Tian decided to cure the old lady's illness no matter what, although he was not a real doctor, saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and it can be considered as accumulating blessings for the Luo family.

  The old lady's large bedroom didn't even have a single maid servant, which was just as well, saving Luo Tian the trouble of sending away any extra people.

  Yuè Shān seemed to be very disgusted with Lǎo Fū Rén, and after leading Luó Tiān into the bedroom, she hastily left.

  Luo Tian personally poured a cup of water and fed the medicine into the old lady's mouth.

  After a moment, the old lady's complexion returned to normal and her breathing became stable. Luo Tian then picked up the brazier and walked out. The bedroom was too cold without a brazier; how would the old lady get through this winter?

  After Luo Tian left the bedroom, Old Madam opened her eyes. After glancing around to ensure that there was no one else in the room, she took out a packet of medicinal powder from under her pillow and poured it into her mouth, then calmly closed her eyes again.

  After Luo Tian returned with the brazier filled with hot coals, he caught a whiff of the remaining scent of cold fragrance powder wafting by the bedside, and Old Madame's complexion turned dull and yellow again.

  Hanxiang powder is indeed the kind of medicine that Xi Kong mentioned, which makes people feel weak all over and drowsy every day.

  Luo Tian smiled, this old lady was quite interesting. There were no signs of anyone else entering the room, so there was only one possibility - the old lady had woken up earlier and even took the initiative to eat the cold fragrance powder.

  Fortunately, Xi Kong didn't just give Luo Tian one antidote.

  The old lady woke up again and didn't thank Luo Tian, but instead asked, "Why did you save me?"

  Luotian said, "I just want to know why you didn't let me save you."

  "You save me now, I may be killed soon. If you don't save me, maybe I can live a little longer." The old lady looked at Luo Tian, "I think this kid is a good person, so I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. There are no good people in the Prime Minister's mansion, only treacherous and deceitful ones."

  Luo Tian almost subconsciously blurted out, "Isn't Gu Hua Jun a good person either?"

  The old lady suddenly became agitated and grabbed Luo Tian's hand. "Have you seen Jun'er? Is Jun'er okay now? Why hasn't he left this place yet?"

  Luò Tiān was frightened and didn't know how to respond.

  The old lady didn't expect Luo Tian's response and said to herself, "This world is about to be in chaos, the Prime Minister's mansion will be finished, and Jun Er won't have time to leave if he doesn't go now."

  The old woman's voice was sorrowful, and Luo Tian's heart began to feel uneasy.

  Luotian had indeed sensed that the world was about to descend into chaos, but what did this have to do with him? Luotian merely wanted to rescue his own parents and clear the name of the Luotian Manor.

  The sound of the prime minister's footsteps suddenly entered Luo Tian's ears, and then Luo Tian said, "The prime minister is coming."

  Luo Tian saw fear and terror in the old woman's eyes. "Hurry up and knock me out! Hurry up and knock me out!"

  Lu Tian had no choice but to press the old lady's sleep acupoint in his anxiety.

  Gu Ji Xue walked in the next second, his sharp eyes swept over the old lady on the bed and then fell on Luo Tian's body. "Doctor Kong, I don't know how my mother's condition is, can she be cured?"

  Luo Tian's face was filled with apology, "Please forgive me for a few days, Your Excellency. The old lady's illness is indeed strange, so..."

  Gu Ji Xue interrupted Luo Tian impatiently, "It doesn't matter, Mr. Kong can stay here until my mother recovers."

  Gu Ji Xue walked to the bedside and grasped the old lady's hand, "My son will definitely search all over the world for famous doctors to cure mother's stubborn illness."

  Luotian didn't know what to say and could only pretend to be moved by the prime minister's filial piety.

  After Gu Jixue left, Luo Tian saw that the old lady's hand had been grasped to the point of redness and swelling. It was clear that Gu Jixue had used a great deal of force to test whether the old lady was truly still in a daze.

  Alas, Luo Tian couldn't help but let out a sigh. How deep could the grudge between mother and son be?

  The son wants to support his parents but they don't wait for him, Luo Tian thought of his own mother and couldn't hide the sourness in his heart.
