The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 672: Only the Heart Can Cure Heartache

Marquis Xuanping’s affliction is a mental one; medicine won’t help.

Yun Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Since the worm is in your stomach, it’s simple. I’ll write a prescription for you that will make you vomit the worm out once you take it."

Marquis Xuanping shook his head, "After I went home that day, I used a toothbrush to poke my throat and vomited for a long time, but I still felt unwell. The worm just wouldn’t come out."

Yun Jiao laughed and said, "My medicine has a peculiar effect on worms. You can be sure it will make you vomit it out."

Marquis Xuanping was half-convinced, but then he thought of the news his servants had gathered early that morning: Doctor Gu not only cured the Emperor’s toothache but also healed the Princess Consort’s eyes.

There were even rumors that the guards of the Duke Mansion were searching all over Capital City for a certain herb because the Duke had been poisoned. In the end, they didn’t find the herb, but this Doctor Gu still managed to cure him.

Thinking this, Marquis Xuanping immediately gained confidence in Yun Jiao and completely trusted her words.

Yun Jiao picked up a brush to write the prescription and asked, "Where were you drinking that day? We still need to find a medicinal lead there."

Marquis Xuanping replied, "At She Xiang Garden."

She Xiang Garden is a garden in the Capital City, also a place where some nobility like to play.

After the prescription was written, a servant from the Marquis Mansion went to get the medicine.

Yun Jiao called over Da Ya and whispered in her ear, "Go to She Xiang Garden and see if you can find the kind of worm Marquis Xuanping mentioned. If you find one, catch it."

"If you can’t find one, cut a piece of red string, roll it into the shape of a worm."

"Bring it here, but don’t make any moves. Act according to my signals."

"Also, pick a leaf from a tree there. I need it as a medicinal lead."

Da Ya nodded and left.

The servant went to Renxin Hall to fetch the medicine, and soon they started decocting it. Da Ya also returned after half an hour.

As she approached, she gave Yun Jiao a slight nod. Yun Jiao knew this meant she had caught the worm. She took the leaf Da Ya handed over, instructed a servant to clean it thoroughly, and put it into the medicine pot.

Marquis Xuanping asked puzzledly, "This leaf is the medicinal lead? What use does it have?"

Yun Jiao explained seriously, "This is a leaf my maid just picked from the tree where you were sitting in She Xiang Garden."

"This leaf is where the worm lives, just like a person’s home. If you want the worm to come out, this leaf is indispensable."

Marquis Xuanping suddenly understood, "Doctor Gu is indeed brilliant!"

Yun Jiao nodded, thinking she had made up a rather good reason, almost convincing herself.

A moment after the leaf was added, Yun Jiao said, "It’s done!"

The servants hurriedly poured out the medicine, and Yun Jiao also instructed them to prepare a clean spittoon.

When the medicine cooled down a bit, Marquis Xuanping drank it, and within moments, he began to feel nauseous. The servants quickly handed him the spittoon.

"Ugh—" The freshly consumed medicine came rushing out from Marquis Xuanping’s mouth.

Yun Jiao seized the moment to give Da Ya a signal.

Da Ya flicked her fingers, and a small red worm silently dropped into the spittoon.

After vomiting, Marquis Xuanping suddenly pointed at the spittoon with surprise and said, "I vomited it out! I really vomited it out!"

The worm was still alive at that moment, struggling in the medicine.

Marquis Xuanping waved his hand, and the servants swiftly took the spittoon out.

With the help of the servants, he rinsed his mouth, drank some fragrant tea, and finally let out a breath, "I feel better, the pressure on my chest is gone."

"I feel completely at ease!"

Yun Jiao smiled and nodded.
