Chapter 18 - Harvesting the Will of the People

Although with a stomach full of doubts, Yu Cui still accepted.

Gu Qianxue used the alcohol to disinfect the thread, then placed the thread through the needle, then continued while Yu Cui shrieked, starting to stitch the wound on Yu Lian’s back.

“You just asked me before, will Yu Lian be alright.” After she carefully finished stitching, Gu Qianxue on one hand sprinkled the medicinal powder on the stitched up wound, while on the other hand asked the frightened Yu Cui.

Then Yu Cui was woken up from her daze, “Yes-ah, Young Miss, is my sister alright now?”

Gu Qianxue pointed with her finger to the paper on the table, “That is my prescription for reducing fever, go immediately to the pharmacy to grab the medicine to prevent her from suffering, if Yu Lian can cool down, then it will be considered that has overcome the critical point. If she does not cool down, then you can only go to the sky to be a fairy.”

The situation was urgent, Yu Cui precisely had a stomach of doubts but also did not have the time to raise the issues, just like that she blankly received the silver, and again with great confusion ran out, to buy medicine and boil medicine.

When the medicine finished boiling, Yu Cui and ben wanted to feed Yu Lian the medicine, Gu Qianxue however insisted to personally feed her, Yu Cui who watched from the side had tears falling down, from the bottom of her heart she had already vowed that in this lifetime who her master was.

In just a few hours, Yu Cui had long forgotten what the former master was like.

Not knowing if it was the effect of the medicine or it was the way the wound was handled, Yu Lian’s deathly pale face finally had a little tint of red, the tightly wrinkled forehead also gradually loosened.

Gu Qianxue however, did not dare to relax and remained vigilant, because she knows the dangerous condition the patient is in.

“If only there was cefoperazone, penicillin will also be fine.” Gu Qianxue murmured.

“Young Miss, what did you say?” Yu Cui asked.

Gu Qianxue all of a sudden, suddenly saw the light and clapped her hands, “Right-ah, penicillin, why didn’t I think of this earlier! I totally forgot I can make myself some penicillin. Even if the efficacy of the medicine is not comparable to modern’s penicillin but, it’s better than nothing!”

Yu Cui is even more confused, “Young Miss, are you alright? You….you…”

Gu Qianxue at this time just thought she herself had already crossed to another time and place, but the people around her are still the ancient people who were locally born and bred.

“Yu Cui, your body also has not a few injuries right?” Because she thought of penicillin, Gu Qianxue’s mood suddenly relaxed, the tone of her voice was also a lot more joyful.

Yu Cui nodded her head, then again hurriedly shook her head, “Young Miss, this servant’s body does not have many injuries, this servant will take care of it myself, that will be just fine.”

Gu Qianxue smiled and pointed toward the bed to the unconscious Yu Lian, “Don’t tell me you also want to develop into like her?”

Yu Cui’s whole body went motionless, and was indecisive.

“I am the person you attach the most importance to as you are my maid, my words, are you not going to listen?” Gu Qianxue carried out the arrogance of a master.

Finally persuaded Yu Cui, Yu Cui carefully took off her dirty clothes.

Examining the injuries all over Yu Cui’s body, Gu Qianxue then gave a sigh of relief, “Not too bad, the injuries on your body are all superficial wounds, you indeed endured pain, after I deal with you, then you will not have any infections, it is also considered to be very lucky.”

Yu Cui lowered her head and nodded, her voice choked with emotions, “Yes-ah, everytime Liu Mama hits us, it is all sister who help block me, that is why sister is now…..”

Gu Qianxue reached her hand out and patted lightly on Yu Cui’s head, “Everything has passed, in the future there is me, no one is able to bully you two sisters anymore.” In her heart, she sighed with sorrow, these two young girls are also only eleven and twelve, if this was in the modern times, afraid it’ll be even before graduating from elementary school, in ancient times they were beaten black and blue.

Yu Cui was full of gratitude, she wanted to say something but then hesitated.

Gu Qianxue smiled, “What do you want to say?”

Yu Cui ‘putong’ and knelt, “This servant wants to say, although I do not know why Young Miss had a sudden change in temperament, however this servant swears, to vow loyalty and devotion for a lifetime to Young Miss, just as exactly if Young Lady wants this servant’s life, this servant will also not hold a grudge.”

“Alright, as long as you are loyal to me, I will also not treat you unfairly.” Saying this, Gu Qianxue supported Yu Cui up, personally helped deal with her big and small injuries.

In an instant, into the night. (*translated as it is)

The sun set, Tingxue Courtyard however was still as bright as daytime.

Not a few people walked in and out of Gu Qianxue’s room, some people brought medicine, some people carried hot water, everyone was busy.

The servants whispered, the other people from other courtyards also ran over to listen about the news, after getting the news, everyone is all puzzled—- why is the Eldest Young Miss spending so much effort for only a servant? The Eldest Young Miss knows medicine? The Zhao family has ancestral medical books? Why have they never heard about this from before till now?

There were so many questions that no one could give an answer to, even with Zhao Shi’s side no one was breathing a word, to stick to their statement there is a medical book, it’s just that after Gu Qianxue finished reading, she felt bored and burned the book.

In regards to the last few words of the matter of burning the book, everyone believed, after all the Eldest Young Miss from then till now was really reckless, as long as she is in a bad mood, precious treasures were ruined, one does not know the amount.
