Chapter 489: Buying Herbs

When Mo Zhu heard this, she was amused by Lu Zheng’s words. She looked at the man speechlessly and explained patiently, “Why do you think I took the initiative to ask to treat you first? If you continue spouting nonsense, you don’t even have two days to live!”
After understanding the meaning in Mo Zhu’s words, Lu Zheng smiled awkwardly and replied softly, “In that case, I’ll have to trouble Ms. Mo!”
After saying this, Lu Zheng did not hesitate any longer. He immediately sat in front of Mo Zhu and placed his hand flat on the coffee table, making it convenient for the girl to take his pulse.
She placed her hand on Lu Zheng’s arm and took the man’s pulse briefly. A few seconds later, Mo Zhu instructed the Lu family’s servants to bring a pen and paper. After neatly writing more than ten names of herbs on the paper, she handed the prescription she had written to Lu Zheng. “Send someone to get these herbs. If you can’t buy them, you can go to the black market to take a look. However, some of the herbs are quite expensive and might cost a lot. Your poison has already seeped into your bones and it can’t be delayed. Get someone to bring the herbs over as soon as possible!”
When Lu Zheng heard this, his expression changed. He immediately arranged for someone to buy the medicine.!!
After settling the purchase of medicine, Lu Zheng brought Mo Zhu to Old Master Lu’s room. Mo Zhu carefully put on her protective suit and checked the old master’s pulse according to the previous pulse reading process. After sensing that the poison in the old master’s body had been suppressed by the pills he had taken these few days, she lowered her eyes and thought about the next treatment plan.
If she wanted to force all the poison out of the old master’s body, she had to use the Seven Star Acupuncture Needles to treat him after she had fully recovered.
Thinking of this, since the old master’s illness was not urgent and her body had not recovered, Mo Zhu decided to let the old master continue taking the medicine. She would treat Lu Zheng’s illness first.
After leaving the old master’s room, just as she pushed the door open, Mo Zhu saw Lu Zheng pacing back and forth anxiously in the corridor.
Seeing Mo Zhu walk out of the room, Lu Zheng took two steps forward and asked anxiously, “Ms. Mo, the servant who went to buy herbs just now called and said that a few of the herbs in the prescription you gave are poisons. They have clashing effects with the other tonics in the prescription. Can we buy them like this?”
Upon hearing Lu Zheng’s words, as if she had already expected him to ask such a stupid question, Mo Zhu glanced at him coldly, frowned slightly, and said in an unhappy tone, “If my prescription could be prescribed by any ordinary person, Young Master Lu, I don’t think you would have taken so long to treat your illness.”
After pausing for a few seconds, she waved her hand and added, “If you don’t believe me, I won’t treat this illness. Anyway, I won’t be able to earn money treating you. It will save me a lot of effort.”
“Ms. Mo, you’ve misunderstood.” Realizing that there was some anger in Mo Zhu’s tone, Lu Zheng pinched the space between his eyebrows and explained anxiously, “The servants came to report just now. I was just a little too anxious, so I wanted to look for you to verify it quickly. Don’t be angry. I was too rash!”
Knowing that Lu Zheng really wanted her to treat him, Mo Zhu did not deliberately make things difficult for him. She rubbed her palms slightly and replied indifferently, “There’s too much poison mixed in your body. It’s very difficult to recover without fighting poison with poison.”
Upon hearing the words ‘fight poison with poison’, Lu Zheng instantly understood the reason why Mo Zhu had specially prescribed poison in the prescription. He nodded and did not ask further. He immediately called the servants to speed up the purchase of the medicine.
An hour later, the herbs were brought back by the Lu family’s servants. Mo Zhu specially asked Lu Zheng to make an empty room for her and she focused on portioning the herbs.
