Allure of a Country Maiden

As the night went deeper, Li Mingfang and Mrs. Li stayed by Li Mingjun's side, not daring to go to sleep.

Mrs. Li even touched Li Mingjun's forehead every once in a while.

"Mingfang, what should I do? Mingjun's head is getting hotter and hotter!" Mrs. Li asked worriedly.

Li Mingfang also had no master, and drank all the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor.

Li Mingfang suddenly remembered that when Di Shaowei gave her a New Year's gift to their family before, he had given her a bottle of pills, saying that she could take them as long as she felt unwell, regardless of the cause.

She practiced martial arts all year round and rarely felt sick, so she never used that bottle of medicine.

Li Mingfang suddenly stood up and rushed out.

Mrs. Li was startled by Li Mingfang's actions.

"Mingfang, where are you going?" she asked loudly at Li Mingfang's back.

"I'll get the medicine!" Li Mingfang replied loudly.

Mrs. Li also wanted to ask what medicine she was going to get, but Li Mingfang disappeared.

After Li Mingfang returned to her house, she started rummaging through the boxes.

Her maid followed her and asked: "Miss, what are you looking for? Let me help you find it!"

She dug everything out and made a mess, and they, the maids, would have to clean it up when the time comes!

Li Mingfang said while searching: "All the things I brought back from the northwest are put in these boxes? Do you remember where you put the bottle of pills that Prince Di gave me the year before last?"

The maid knew immediately which bottle Li Mingfang was referring to, because her young lady received the bottle of pills and threw them to her. She said, "I'll give you this medicine! I'm in good health. I've never If you are not sick, why do you need this pill? You don’t even give it to others as a gift, which shows how perfunctory his gift is!"

The maid felt disapproving of it at the time. As far as she knew, the annual gifts sent by the Zhongyong Hou Mansion were very good. Her wife loved to show off about them, and many people were envious of them when they found out.

The maid did not take Li Mingfang's words seriously at that time, and she did not dare to really ask for such a valuable thing.

She knew that the things sent by the Zhongyong Hou Mansion must be of the highest quality. The pills could be taken for any disease. Didn't they mean they could cure all diseases? Who can guarantee that they will not get sick or die? What if one day my lady thinks of this pill again and asks her to take it?

It's not like things like this haven't happened before.

The maid felt scared when she thought about it. Fortunately, she didn't take it seriously at the time and didn't dare to use it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain it now.

"Miss, please wait a moment. I have put the medicine away and I will find it for you."

Li Mingfang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Hurry up!"

Li Mingfang's maid had a good memory and quickly found the bottle of medicine.

The blue and white porcelain bottle is very simple and not fancy at all.

Li Mingfang couldn't wait to open the cork of the bottle and put the mouth of the bottle to her nose. A burst of fragrance hit her nostrils, which made her energetic. The smell was somewhat similar to the pill she took when she was dying, but she took it. The taste of that pill was stronger, and she would never forget the taste of the pill that brought her back from death!

Li Mingfang took the pills and quickly ran back to the house where Li Mingjun was.

"Mother, help Ming Jun up, and I'll feed him medicine!"

"What kind of medicine is this? Where did you get it?" Mrs. Li felt that the bottle looked familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had seen it.

"This is the pill that Shao Wei gave me as a new year's gift." Li Mingfang came to the bedside and touched Li Mingjun's head, which felt a little hotter.

"This happened two years ago! Can you still take these pills after keeping them for such a long time? Besides, can you take the medicine randomly? What if you eat it bad?" Li Mingfang mentioned that it was given by Di Shaowei, Li Mingfang said The madam then remembered that such a thing had happened.

When she saw this bottle of pills, she felt unhappy. Who would give pills as a New Year gift? What a bad connotation!

"It's edible. I've smelled it, and there's no peculiar smell at all. The Ming army is now in a state of half-death. Even if it is eaten, can the situation be worse? We can only seek medical treatment urgently and try every method!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li felt that Li Mingfang was right. Besides, the annual gifts sent by the Zhongyong Hou Mansion in the past years were all excellent, and they were not given bad ones. I thought this pill would be a good thing.

Mrs. Li helped Li Mingjun up, and Li Mingfang fed him a pill. After thinking about it, he was worried that the medicine was not effective enough, so he fed him another pill. Li Mingfang wanted to continue feeding, but Mrs. Li stopped him.

"Okay, don't feed me any more. It's a three-part poison. What if you take too much and get side effects?"

After hearing this, Li Mingfang stopped feeding: "Then let's see if the medicine has any effect first."

After about a cup of tea, Mrs. Li touched Li Mingjun's forehead again and felt that the fever had subsided a little!

"Mingfang, Mingfang, come here and see if Mingjun's forehead is not so hot anymore?" Mrs. Li asked excitedly in her heart.

Li Mingfang quickly ran over and touched it, and it seemed that it had really receded a little.

After another cup of tea, Mrs. Li touched Li Mingjun's body temperature again, but found that it had not dropped.

"Mingfang, Mingjun's body temperature no longer drops. Is it because the medicine is not effective enough?"

Li Mingfang thought it was very possible: "The pills Shao Wei gave me before had a much stronger aroma than this one."

Li Mingfang took out another pill and smelled it, feeling that the scent was really too weak.

"Then let's feed Mingjun some more quickly! I remembered that the person who gave this medicine as a New Year gift seemed to have said that it can cure any disease, just give it a few more pills!"

So Li Mingfang made a bold decision. She drank the entire bottle of pills to Li Mingjun.

Li Mingfang made the right bet this time. After Li Mingjun took the entire bottle of medicine, his high fever gradually subsided.

When the sky in the east turned white, Li Mingjun no longer had a high fever. He rolled his eyes, opened them slightly, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Li Mingfang and Mrs. Li looked at him almost without blinking. Seeing him open his eyes, they were so excited that they almost didn't cry.

Mrs. Li is old and she stayed up until midnight last night before going back to sleep. Besides, there is no reason why a white-haired person should give a black-haired person a gift, so she avoided it. Now that I have come here early in the morning, I know that Li Mingjun has sobered up for a while, and his worries are finally relieved.

"Isn't the imperial doctor's medicine ineffective? Did you feed the Ming army other medicines later?" She left with the imperial doctor last night, and the imperial doctors all said that the medicine was irreconcilable and could be used to restore the world.

As the head matron of the military general's family, she was already prepared that Li Mingjun would not survive. Unexpectedly, a miracle would happen.

Li Mingfang was about to say that she had taken the pills Di Shaowei had given her before, but Mrs. Li stopped her and said first, "It was the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."
