Chapter 348: What’s the use of you?

Xie Yingmian said, "The secret medicine that the so-called miracle doctor gave you can't completely cure Leng Xiangjue. It can only allow you to recover temporarily."

"Once the effect of the medicine wears off, the backlash will get worse."

"If the backlash has already begun, even I can't do anything to help you recover."

"Fortunately, you were lucky enough to see me before the backlash."

"I'll give you acupuncture first. In a few days, I'll make the pills. If you take them consistently for two months, the coldness will be completely resolved. After two months, you might be able to get pregnant."

"But a woman's pregnancy is not a one-person thing. You should know that it's not enough to just have good health on your own."

Yunxiang was very grateful.

She said, "Don't worry, Princess Ling, I have a way."

She was about to kowtow again.

Xie Yingmian pulled Yunxiang up and said, "There's no point in kowtowing to me. I'm paid."

"A total of three thousand taels of silver, a deposit of five hundred taels, and the balance to be paid in two months."

Yunxiang was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing.

She happily paid Xie Yingmian five hundred taels.

Xie Yingmian: "Feed him these pills three times, each time before bed. On the third feeding, ask him the questions he wants to ask while he is half asleep."

Yunxiang took the pill and left.

Wen Juexia pinched her chin: "Sister Mianmian, do you believe her?"

"She is so utilitarian. This is the first time I've seen a woman with such a strong sense of utilitarianism."

Xie Yingmian: "It's not a matter of belief or disbelief."

"I'm charging her a consultation fee to treat her illness, so I'm not losing out. I'm offering her the carrot of being able to cure her. As long as she's not a fool, she won't go against my will."

"For me, even if she lies, it won't affect me."

"If she didn't lie, everyone will be happy."

Although Xie Yingmian said this, her sixth sense made her believe Yunxiang.

Three days later.

Yunxiang gave Xie Yingmian an invitation, inviting her to Zhaixing Tower.

When Xie Yingmian and Wen Juexia arrived, Yunxiang was already waiting there.

Seeing Xie Yingmian coming, Yunxiang hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Wen Juexia was guarding outside as usual.

Yunxiang said solemnly, "After I returned, I fed it to Wu Anbo according to your instructions. On the third day, I asked him about it and indeed found out something."

"It's just that Wu Anbo's answer is a bit inconsistent."

"Tell me." Xie Yingmian found a comfortable place to sit down and made a gesture of invitation.

Yunxiang also sat down. "Wu Anbo said that he went to the attic with... the current emperor. He was responsible for keeping watch while the emperor favored a woman."

"He is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he was the one who procured the aphrodisiac that the woman he favored used."

"After he said this, he said a lot of incomprehensible things, which I didn't understand."

Xie Yingmian asked, "Do you still remember?"

Yunxiang nodded.

"Wu Anbo's speech was intermittent. One moment he was talking about Yunshui Qiyi, the next he was saying that the emperor wanted to be the crown prince and that he was the key."

"He said that as long as the emperor gets that woman and favors her, he can truly serve the emperor."

"Later, Wu Anbo said that the reason Wu Anbo's mansion has always been protected is because he has the merit of following the dragon."

"Then he said it was a mistake."

"That's about it. He kept repeating the same thing over and over again. I couldn't get any more information out of him even if I asked him carefully."

"Wu Anbo is old and very confused. He often forgets what he said the moment he said it. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that what Wu Anbo said is true."

Xie Yingmian nodded slightly: "The information you brought is very valuable."

"Stop giving him the pills for three days. After three days, continue giving him the pills. Or ask again after three doses."

"Remember, don't let this matter out. If it gets out, your life may be in danger."

Yunxiang nodded solemnly.

Xie Yingmian returned to Prince Ling's Mansion.

Yu Lingye and Shen Tingsi were discussing matters in the study.

Xiao Kui was counting ants in the yard out of boredom.

Seeing Xie Yingmian coming back, he immediately became energetic.

"Princess Sister!" Xiao Kui skipped over to Xie Yingmian, "I heard you went to Zhaixing Tower."

"Is the food at Zhaixing Tower delicious?"

Xie Yingmian patted Xiaokui's head and said, "I'm not going there to eat."

Xiao Kui pouted, a little disappointed.

Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "But I've packed up and it's lunchtime now. Do you want to stay and eat with me?"

Xiaokui was very happy.

Xie Yingmian entered the study.

The plaster on Shen Tingsi has been removed and is simply fixed with wooden boards.

Seeing Xie Yingmian coming, Chen Tingsi nodded slightly as a greeting.

"How are you feeling recently?" Xie Yingmian asked.

Shen Tingsi moved his fingers, which were slightly stiff.

"My control is average. I can only do simple grasping at the moment, and I still can't do anything more delicate."

Xie Yingmian: "It's normal."

"If you want to be able to move it freely and just like a normal arm, you need to practice for at least three to five years. Take it slow, and it will get better."

She took Shen Tingsi's pulse.

Because the arm is external, the pulse is very obscure.

"The nerves in my arm have mostly reconnected. This is a good sign. The recovery is quite good."

Chen Tingsi sincerely thanks Yingmian.

Xie Yingmian doesn't need to thank such an illusory thing.

She charges.

She brought the bill.

"The fact that your arm has recovered to this degree proves that my surgery was successful. You can pay the balance now. Here's the bill, take a look."

Shen Tingsi signed the bill without even looking at the number on it: "I'll have someone send it to you as soon as possible."

Xie Yingmian felt extremely regretful.

If she had known that Shen Tingsi would sign without even reading it, she would have asked for a bigger price.

"I packed a lot of food from Zhaixing Tower," Xie Yingmian said. "Would you like to eat together?"

Shen Tingsi refused on the grounds that the Six Punishments Department had something else to do.

Xiao Kui, who had already thought about how to eat, was suddenly devastated.

He was very resentful.

The resentment almost filled the entire Prince Ling's Mansion.

It was not until Xie Yingmian gave half of the packed food to Xiaokui that Xiaokui happily followed Shen Tingsi away with her bags.

Watching Xiaokui and Shen Tingsi’s backs.

Xie Yingmian asked Yu Lingye, "How did Xiaokui and Shen Tingsi know each other?"

Yu Lingye shook his head: "Chen Tingsi didn't explain it in detail, and I didn't ask in detail."

Xie Yingmian: "What about Xiaokui's background?"

Yu Lingye still shook his head.

Xie Yingmian: "Wen Juexia told me that Xiao Kui's martial arts are very unique. Although he is very young, his martial arts are unfathomable. He might be from a blessed land."

"Xie Jingyun mentioned in his diary that the blessed land is located in Dingyun Mountain."

"After the Dingyun Rebellion, not a single blade of grass grew there; it was completely desolate."

"Then the question is, after the Dingyun Rebellion, does the blessed land still exist?"

"How could Xiaokui, who came from a blessed land, run away? Xiaokui has been with Shen Tingsi for quite some time. Where have his parents gone? How could they bear to leave such a young Xiaokui?"

Xie Yingmian asked many questions in one breath.

Yu Lingye couldn't answer any of them.

Xie Yingmian was speechless: What use do I have for you?
