On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2056 Young Master Su is awake

Yan Ruyu walked in front carrying a bag, and Huo Changhe followed beside her. As soon as they arrived at the door of Su Jingzhuo's courtyard, the maid who was guarding it came to greet them.

"Young Doctor," the maid said softly, "the young master is awake."

Yan Ruyu nodded without stopping: "Is there another attack?"

"No," the maid led the two inside, "you look better."

When I entered the room, I saw Su Jingzhuo half leaning against the head of the bed with a soft pillow behind him.

His face was still pale, but no longer as gloomy as it was a few days ago. When he saw the two people come in, his eyes turned slightly.

Yan Ruyu put the bundle on the small table beside the bed, found the small box and opened it. Inside was a small white porcelain bottle and a neatly folded piece of paper.

She picked up the paper and unfolded it. As expected, it was the instructions for using the antidote written by Military Doctor Cao himself.

Yan Ruyu picked up the white porcelain bottle, poured out half a brown pill, placed it on her palm, and turned to the maid and said, "Bring me a cup of warm water."

The maid responded and turned to bring warm water.

Yan Ruyu took the water and was about to feed Su Jingzhuo the medicine. Huo Changhe stepped forward and took the antidote: "I'll do it."

Huo Changhe was quick and decisive. He pinched Su Jingzhuo's jaw and put the medicine in. Then his hand shook, and even water didn't work, and Su Jingzhuo swallowed the antidote.

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Su Jingzhuo's Adam's apple moved, and suddenly his body stiffened. He then leaned forward, supported himself on the edge of the bed with his hands, and began to vomit.

Black mucus flowed down the corners of his mouth and fell into the copper basin on the ground, emitting a fishy smell.

The maid was so scared that she took a half step back, then hurried forward to hand over the handkerchief, but was stopped by Yan Ruyu.

"Don't get close," Yan Ruyu said calmly, "Let him vomit it out. This is the reaction of the poison being expelled."

Su Jingzhuo vomited for half a cup of tea before he slowly stopped.

He leaned back against the head of the bed, panting, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but his face was a little rosier than before - he had been pale before, but now he had a little color.

Only then did the maid dare to step forward and wipe the corners of Su Jingzhuo's mouth with a clean handkerchief, and then drank some warm water to rinse her mouth.

Su Jingzhuo's breathing was still rapid, but stronger than before.

Yan Ruyu looked into his eyes and saw that the cloudiness in them was gone, and they were now a little clearer.

"Go, ask Miss Su to come over."

The maid did not dare to hesitate and hurried to invite him.

Yan Ruyu observed Su Jingzhuo: "Military Doctor Cao said that it would be fine if he vomited it out. It would help to expel some of the remaining poison and make him more conscious."

Huo Changhe walked over to the small table, picked up the instruction manual, looked at it, and put it back. "Military Doctor Cao is really careful. He even wrote down the precautions so clearly."

Yan Ruyu said, then looked at Su Jingzhuo: "Can you remember something now? For example... where were you before you were injured?"

Su Jingzhuo frowned, as if trying to recall something. After a moment, he shook his head: "My mind is still confused. I just remember there was water, and it was... a little cold."

Before he could say anything else, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by the door curtain being lifted and Su Shengsheng walking in quickly.

She saw Su Jingzhuo leaning against the head of the bed at a glance, her steps suddenly stopped, and her eyes turned red instantly.

"Brother..." Su Shengsheng's voice trembled. He took two steps forward and then stopped.

Su Jingzhuo also looked at her, his eyes were stunned for a moment, then softened, and he called softly, "Little sister."

Just these two words made Su Shengsheng unable to hold back her tears any longer, and tears suddenly fell down.

She walked quickly to the bedside and reached out to grab Su Jingzhuo's wrist. Her fingertips were a little cold, but she held on tightly: "Brother, you're finally awake! I thought... I thought you would never wake up again..."

As she spoke, she burst into tears, and her tears fell on the back of Su Jingzhuo's hand.

Su Jingzhuo wanted to raise his hand to pat her back, but he had no strength. He could only pinch her fingers gently: "Don't cry, I'm awake now. I made you worry."

Su Shengsheng cried for a long time before her tears slowly stopped.

She wiped her face with a handkerchief and sniffed, then she remembered that there was someone beside her. She quickly turned to Su Jingzhuo and said, "Brother, let me tell you, this is the young doctor. She's the one who's been treating you. You're able to wake up thanks to her."

Su Jingzhuo followed her gaze and looked at Yan Ruyu, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

He shifted his body, trying to sit more upright. "Thank you, little doctor."

He paused and added, "Although I was unconscious most of the time, I knew someone was feeding me medicine and water. I guess it was the young doctor who took the trouble. Thank you for your hard work."

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly and took out a small porcelain cup filled with amber fruit tea from the food box. She handed it to Su Jingzhuo and said, "You are welcome, sir. Treating illnesses and saving lives is my duty. You just vomited. Drink some to moisten your throat."

Su Jingzhuo took the teacup and felt a hint of warmth when his fingertips touched the wall of the cup.

He took a sip, and the sweet taste slid down his throat, making him feel much better.

After he put down the teacup, Yan Ruyu spoke again, her tone a little heavier than before: "Sir, now that you are more conscious, I want to ask you a question - do you remember how you were injured?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room changed instantly.

Su Shengsheng also stopped wiping her tears and looked at Su Jingzhuo with wide eyes, obviously wanting to know the answer as well.

Su Jingzhuo tightened his grip on the teacup, his face gradually darkened, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes, as if he remembered something that frightened him.

He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I remember... I was underwater."

Su Jingzhuo lowered his voice. "I was curious and wanted to see what the sacrifice was. I can swim a little, so I dived underwater to see if they had anything hidden in the water."

He paused, took a sip of tea, as if trying to suppress the fear in his heart: "At first I didn't see anything, then I swam deeper, and suddenly I saw a woman's face."

"A woman's face?" Yan Ruyu raised an eyebrow. "Underwater?"

“Yes,” Su Jingzhuo nodded, with a strange look in his eyes, “That face is extremely beautiful, with skin as white as jade, and big eyes, just looking at me.

At first I thought someone had fallen into the water and wanted to go save her, but when I got closer, I realized something was wrong—her hair was motionless in the water, and her eyes were frozen, not like a real person at all.”

As he spoke, his Adam's apple moved. "I felt something was wrong with this sacrifice, so I wanted to swim ashore and escape. But as soon as I turned around, something even more terrifying happened."

Su Shengsheng's heart tightened when he heard this, and he held Su Jingzhuo's wrist tighter. "Brother, what's more terrifying? Has someone discovered you?"

Su Jingzhuo shook his head, his face paler. "It's not a human." When I turned around, I caught a glimpse of a shadow behind me. It was huge, like a small mountain.

I quickly turned around and saw the creature's eyes—red as blood, bigger than a grown man's fist, and gleaming frighteningly bright in the water.
