After taking his medicine, Qin Canglan slept until daylight.

When he woke up, he sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly ahead, lost in thought.

The young servant called out to him twice from outside the door, but got no response.

At this time of day, Qin Canglan would usually already be in the courtyard practicing swordsmanship. 

The servant grew worried. 

Especially remembering that the Old Master had gone to bed unusually early the night before, and considering all the strange occurrences, he began to worry that something bad might have happened.

Gathering his courage, the servant pushed the door open and entered.

“Old Master!”

Qin Canglan snapped out of his daze, “What is it?”

“Ah… you… you’re alright.” 

The servant scratched his head awkwardly and said, “You got up late, so I was worried you might have… well… uh, never mind, this stupid mouth of mine!”

He forced a sheepish smile, “I’ll have the kitchen prepare breakfast. Would you like noodles with braised topping or steamed buns this morning?”

Qin Canglan replied indifferently, “Anything is fine.” 

“Understood.” 

The servant turned to leave.  

“Wait.” Qin Canglan stopped him. 

The servant bowed. “Do you need anything else, Old Master?”  

“Go fetch Imperial Doctor Cen for me.” 

“Are you feeling unwell?” The servant asked anxiously.  

Qin Canglan waved a hand. “No, but keep it quiet.” 

If the children found out, they would make a whole fuss about it again.  

“Yes, sir.”

The servant first went to the kitchen, then personally made a trip to Imperial Doctor Cen’s residence. 

Fortunately, today the doctor wasn’t on duty at the palace and promptly followed him back to the estate.

Meanwhile, Qin Che had gone to attend court. 

Qin Yanran had gone to her guqin lessons, and Qin Yun was resting in the courtyard to recover from his injuries.

The estate was relatively quiet.

Imperial Doctor Cen entered the room.

Qin Canglan had already washed and dressed. 

He had no appetite, so the breakfast was still untouched on the table.

Imperial Doctor Cen came in carrying his medicine box.

Seeing that Qin Canglan didn’t look quite right, he asked, “Is your hand hurting again?”

“It’s not the hand.” Qin Canglan frowned, clearly unsure how to explain.

Given his pragmatic nature, he normally wasn’t one to believe in strange or mystical things.

But this was Su Huayin ah……

His… his chubby little wife.

Imperial Doctor Cen felt puzzled and asked, “Then why did you summon me so suddenly…?”

Ahem… 

Qin Canglan gave a slightly awkward cough. “Last night I took the pain relief powder you gave me.”

Doctor Cen was quite surprised, “You… only just took it?”

He had been treating the old Duke Protector’s chronic gout for a while now and knew exactly how severe the condition was.

Qin Canglan’s hand wasn’t just afflicted with gout, there was also long-term illness from overexertion. 

The pain he endured was beyond what most people could tolerate.

When the old Duke said it “hurts a little,” it usually meant the pain was like searing to the bone. 

Imperial Doctor Cen had originally predicted that Qin Canglan would need to take the powder within ten days… 

And now, over three months have already passed…

“Uhm… hopefully it hasn’t expired…” 

Imperial Doctor Cen muttered inwardly.

“Did it work?” he asked.

“You mean pain relief? Yes,” Qin Canglan replied fairly.

Imperial Doctor Cen quietly let out a breath of relief.

If it still worked after three months, then maybe he didn’t have to throw out the rest of those near-expiry stocks at home… 

Qin Canglan continued, “You mentioned before that this powder has side effects, and said that I should avoid taking it unless absolutely necessary.”  

“That’s correct.” Imperial Doctor Cen nodded. 

“The powder contains a small amount of datura root, which is toxic in large doses. The amount I prescribed won’t poison you, but prolonged use could cause dependency. A single dose is generally safe, though drowsiness, weakness, nausea, or loss of appetite may occur.” 

Qin Canglan continued, “Aside from that… anything else?”

“Hm?” Physician Cen looked at him, confused.

Qin Canglan cleared his throat and said, “Like… Could it cause someone to see things…”

Imperial Doctor Cen understood. “You mean hallucinations?”

“Ah… It’s more like… I had a dream!”
