I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law-Chapter 375

It was not difficult to write a prescription. Xie Xuanchen was already taking medications anyway, so prescribing a few more health-beneficial medications for him was not a big deal. The little Taoist priest followed the servant to the side to write the prescription, but Mu Mingtang also followed. She looked at it for a while and suddenly said, “This medicine is similar to the previous recuperation prescription, but the Prince is still getting sick after drinking it for so long. I think it’s because the previous doses weren’t enough.”

The little Taoist’s movements stopped. He was now a bit scared of the couple and didn’t know what to do for a while, “This…dare I ask the Princess what she thinks?”

Mu Mingtang smiled and said, “Good medications are always bitter(1). I think that the previous doses weren’t sufficient and were too mild for the Prince, that’s why he hasn’t gotten entirely better.”

(T/N: Medications that are good for health will be bitter in ancient times. Nowadays, this phrase can apply to life lessons where something good is obtained through a bit of suffering)

The little Taoist looked at Mu Mingtang in astonishment as she smiled back. He swallowed silently and grasped a deeper understanding of the woman’s intentions, “I understand. I will mix some more medicine to help the Prince get better as soon as possible.”

The little Taoist took another piece of paper and wrote another prescription in a hurry before Mu Mingtang took a look. She found that the medicinal materials were still quite satisfactory tonics, but the proportion of coptis herbs had increased.

Mu Mingtang was very satisfied as she sent the little Taoist out with a smile. She handed the recipe to the servant and told her to brew them. Then, she proceeded to make her way back into the room.

At this moment, Xie Xuanchen still looked sickly as he laid on the bed. Mu Mingtang gave a small wave as the other servants bowed their heads in synchronisation and retreated from sight.
