Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Wait for Me to Return

Han Zhan had no idea what was wrong with him.

After looking into Chu Qianli’s sincere eyes, he found himself inexplicably agreeing to her request.

The two of them avoided everyone and sneaked back into Chu Buqu’s room again.

"Grandfather, I’m here, you can wake up now."

Chu Qianli squatted by the bed, leaned close to Chu Buqu, and whispered.

Han Zhan had wanted to scoff.

Even the Imperial Physician couldn’t make the Duke regain consciousness; did this girl think a few words would awaken him?

It was pure foolishness.

Yet what happened next stunned him completely.

Chu Buqu opened his eyes, also in a deliberately lowered voice, "Xiaoqi, I listened to you, I waited for you to come back before waking up."

Last night, when Chu Qianli was taken away, she had told him: everything could wait until she returned.

Chu Buqu really took her words to heart.

Chu Qianli breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of shining laughter in her eyes.

"Grandfather, how do you feel?"

"I’m a bit better, but I’m still weak and can’t get up."

"Master, let me help you." Han Zhan stepped forward.

Chu Qianli waved her hand: "No need."

"Miss Qianli, what do you mean? Do you really think I would harm the master?" Han Zhan’s face darkened, clearly angered.

Chu Qianli just gave him a bland look, without a word.

The smile on her lips was somewhat sarcastic.

However, Chu Buqu patted the back of her hand, his voice hoarse, "Han Zhan won’t betray me; he doesn’t know about this."

Chu Qianli nodded: "I know."

Otherwise, Han Zhan wouldn’t have secretly brought her here on her word.

"What on earth is going on here?" Han Zhan watched with a puzzled face.

The Duke’s illness seemed truly unusual, didn’t it?

"I told you grandfather was poisoned with a chronic toxin, but you didn’t believe me," said Chu Qianli, glancing at him.

However, she didn’t have much time now to blame anyone.

As long as Han Zhan was truly loyal to her grandfather, things would be manageable.

She took out acupuncture needles and began to treat Chu Buqu.

Han Zhan had wanted to stop her.

How could Miss Seven, who had no accomplishments whatsoever, know how to treat someone?

But Chu Buqu stopped him with a look.

Soon, Chu Qianli finished the acupuncture.

Chu Buqu let out a breath, saying weakly, "My chest doesn’t feel so tight anymore, but I still don’t have any strength."

"Grandfather, the poison in you is too deep; it won’t be cleared in a short time. However, as long as no new toxins enter your body in the days to come, you will gradually get better."

She took out some medicine pills and turned back, handing them to Han Zhan: "These medicine pills, three times a day, one each time, give them to grandfather in the morning, afternoon, and evening."

"From now on, you should personally take care of grandfather every day. Don’t let him take any medicine delivered by other doctors."

"This..."

"Also, find a cook whom you truly trust, to exclusively handle grandfather’s food from now on."

She took out a silver needle and gave it to him as well: "You must test for poison before every meal you give to grandfather."

Han Zhan looked at all these things in his hand, not knowing where she got them from; she clearly had nothing on her just now.

"Xiaoqi, where... are you going?" Chu Buqu sensed Chu Qianli’s intention, that she was leaving.

He thought it would be good for her to return to Prince Residence.

Only, for the time being, Yexuan was safe.

Finally, he lay back down, nodding, "I understand what you mean. Until I’m completely well, I’ll pretend to remain in this dim state."

"Grandfather really is clever!"

Chu Qianli smiled at him, "I really am leaving now, grandfather; wait for me to come back."

Han Zhan felt an inexplicable tightness in his heart: "Are you going to Duanhun Valley to find Feng Yexuan?"
