Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Chen Mingzhu listened to her mother’s matter-of-fact words, her lips curving slightly, and said defiantly, "But right now is not peony’s blooming season; where can I find a pot of flowers for someone?"

Lady of the Marquis Mingyi glared at her and said, "If it were really that easy to find, how could it be considered precious?"

She spoke slowly, "A long time ago, I had the craftsmen in the mansion prepare to see if they could cultivate a peony at this season. Unfortunately, peonies are too delicate to survive."

"In recent days, it’s been reported that near Changan Street in the Capital City, a store called Flower King Pavilion opened; the owner is very mysterious, opening for just two days before closing, but the sign of the Flower King Pavilion was not taken down. Daring to use such a name, they must have some skill. I will send people to keep an eye out, and if there’s news, we must act swiftly."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mingzhu’s eyes lit up, and she smiled, "Mother, your plans are divine!"

But Lady of the Marquis Mingyi only felt weary.

If only this daughter could have some ambition, why would she still have to expend so much effort to clear the path for her at such an age?

Gu Shengyin was unaware, but someone had already set their sights on her.

Every day, her task was detoxifying Qi Chengxuan; the rest of the time she read books or occasionally checked on the flowers she kept in her space.

And so, ten days passed.

Qi Chengxuan had become quite accustomed to the pain of drawing the heat toxin from his body.

Detoxification was originally difficult at the start; as it progressed, it only became easier.

Now, Qi Chengxuan was able to remain conscious throughout the entire process.

"Now that the heat toxin in your body has been completely extracted, starting tomorrow, for eight days, I will give you another type of floral tea," Gu Shengyin said.

Qi Chengxuan felt incredibly light within his body.

That constant scorching sensation which never faded finally disappeared completely at this moment.

He was also somewhat puzzled, "If the toxins have been expelled, why do I still need..."

Still need to drink floral tea?

Of course, Qi Chengxuan had to admit, the floral tea brewed by Jiujiu tasted quite good, even if it wasn’t for health reasons, having a cup daily was also excellent.

But having been sick for so long, he had developed the habit of asking first.

Gu Shengyin glanced at his pale face and said, "Such aggressive toxins lingering in your body for so many years have caused far more damage than you can imagine."

If it weren’t for the Prince Ping’s Mansion spending silver like water to source various rare medicinal materials from far and wide for both nourishing the body and suppressing the heat toxin, whether Qi Chengxuan could live to see today would be uncertain.

Qi Chengxuan fell silent upon hearing this.

He asked softly, "Will there be any future repercussions?"

Gu Shengyin’s expression was grave, "It’s already a great feat that you’ve managed to keep your life until now. Though the toxins have now been removed, your body has been ravaged beyond recognition. Even with proper recuperation, it can’t possibly be as healthy as a normal person’s, and it may even affect your progeny..."

With each sentence she spoke, Qi Chengxuan’s expression grew darker.

By the end, it was as dark as a pot bottom.

The words Gu Shengyin said were like a drowning person thinking they finally caught hold of a piece of driftwood that could save them, only to look closely and realize the driftwood was already rotting and could crumble away at any moment.
