Chapter 136 I Also Need Your Help

Looking at Ye Yunshu's expression, Song Zhimian knew that she had guessed correctly.

Once Lian Qiao's story is told, not only will Ye Yunshu take it to heart, but she will also become interested in Lian Qiao herself.

Sure enough, Ye Yunshu got up when she heard Lian Qiao say that she was Lian Buhui's apprentice.

She walked up to Lian Qiao and Song Zhimian and helped them both up.

"Sit down and talk, the ground is cold!"

...

Ye Yunshu listened attentively as Lian Qiao recounted everything.

This includes her own emotions when she entered the palace, and how she met Song Zhimian.

She even showed Ye Yunshu her original plans, including the jade pendant her master had given her.

Ye Yunshu looked at the jade pendant, then at Lianqiao.

This silly girl really doesn't know anything!

"Lianqiao, what did your master say? After you've taken your revenge, you can use this jade pendant to escape by the time spring is over?" Ye Yunshu asked with a smile.

Lianqiao nodded.

Song Zhimian also looked at Ye Yunshu.

Isn't that right? Lianqiao's master was, after all, the Grand Elder of Medicine King Valley, responsible for poison production!

His things must have some history!

The owner of Chun Bu Wan must have received some help from Lian Qiao's master, otherwise the old man wouldn't have said those things to Lian Qiao...

But what Lord Ye said...

Does that mean that over time, those relationships fade away?

Ye Yunshu looked at the jade pendant again and stroked it...

This jade pendant... should be from the same piece of jade as the one I've kept.

That jade pendant was left to me by my mother, who said it was a family heirloom in the Ye family, passed down only to daughters...

"Lianqiao, let me tell you! This jade pendant is extremely useful!"

You came to me with this jade pendant. Not only me, but most of my guards will listen to you.

"You even took this jade pendant to the Ruyi Alliance... Do you know about the Ruyi Alliance?" Ye Yunshu looked at Lian Qiao and Song Zhimian.

Song Zhimian shook her head, but Lian Qiao quickly nodded.

"I know, the people from Ruyi Alliance went to Medicine King Valley to ask for medicine, I know a little about it."

That was the largest and most powerful assassin organization in Da Yu.

Once they accept an order, they never fail.

I had considered asking Ruyi Alliance for help before.

"But... everyone says that the Ruyi Alliance charges a lot of money for orders, and I can't find anyone." Lian Qiao said softly.

Ye Yunshu burst out laughing.

"You silly girl!"

If you take this jade pendant, they won't just refuse a single penny; they'll also help you complete your order.

Also, take this jade pendant to the Ye family's money exchange to withdraw silver. Any amount under 500,000 taels can be withdrawn on the same day!

Song Zhimian and Lian Qiao were both dumbfounded.

Song Zhimian stared at the jade pendant in even greater astonishment!

This isn't a jade pendant! It's a ruyi (a traditional Chinese scepter symbolizing good fortune)...

Ye Yunshu played with the jade pendant for a moment, then returned it to Lian Qiao.

"Keep it safe! The fact that your master gave you the jade pendant means he treats you like his own child."

If I remember correctly, your master... never married!

"Yes, Master is devoted to medicine and has always been alone!" Lian Qiao nodded carefully.

Ye Yunshu did not continue on this topic, but instead told Lian Qiao about the Bai family's past.

"When the Bai family got into trouble, the capital was also very shocked."

The Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review were dispatched to investigate, and they eventually found information about the bandits.

Later, when they sent people to suppress the bandits, they also discovered the stolen goods and valuables belonging to the Bai family in the bandits' lair.

All evidence suggests that the bandits were behind it all.

That's why the case was closed!

But you've provided some crucial information.

At the time, no one really thought about the matter of military supplies and medicines for the northern regions.

"With the Bai family murdered and the northern regions in urgent need of medicinal herbs, Minjitang took over the business," Ye Yunshu explained.

Lian Qiao hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

Ye Yunshu looked at Lian Qiao alone, then at Song Zhimian.

These two are quite pitiful...

"Don't worry, now that you've come to me and told me about this, I will definitely get to the bottom of it!" Ye Yunshu assured her.

Upon hearing this, Lian Qiao hurriedly tried to kneel down again.

Ye Yunshu quickly grabbed Lian Qiao.

"Don't rush to kneel. It's my job to find out what happened."

For both public and private reasons, I must get to the bottom of this matter.

"Also, there's something else I need to tell you!" Ye Yunshu looked at Lian Qiao.

Lian Qiao was overjoyed. The Inspector General had promised to thoroughly investigate the matter, which meant that the truth would surely come to light.

"Lord Ye, please speak!"

Ye Yunshu glanced at Lian Qiao, then suddenly took two steps back and respectfully bowed to her.

Forsythia, Song Zhimian...

The two quickly stepped aside, not daring to accept Ye Yunshu's generous greeting.

"Lord Ye, please speak your mind! We are a little scared that you suddenly bowed so deeply!" Song Zhimian looked at Ye Yunshu cautiously.

Ye Yunshu sighed, straightened up, and looked at Lian Qiao.

"Lian Qiao, you are Doctor Lian Buhui's apprentice. Can you ask your master to help save someone?"

Ye Yunshu's eyes were very serious.

Forsythia hesitated for a moment.

This Lord Ye is of such high status that even she couldn't find a royal physician to cure him. Could her own master possibly cure him...?

No, how could I doubt my master's medical skills!

“I can ask my master for help, but… my master is always either in the mountains gathering herbs or traveling through the landscape.”

"I'm not sure I can find the person that quickly!" Lian Qiao said softly.

"You don't need to worry about that, someone has already gone to find your master."

"If you just leave a letter for your master and ask him to take action, then I'll be more confident!" Ye Yunshu said with a smile.

Lian Qiao thought for a moment, "It's just leaving a letter..."

That's no problem!

As for whether or not Master will save that person, that is entirely up to Master himself; no one can influence Master's decision...

Watching Ye Yunshu and Lian Qiao's friendly conversation, Song Zhimian felt relieved.

With Lord Ye's help, Lianqiao should be able to go to the North without any distractions...

At the same time, Song Zhimian also guessed that the person Ye Yunshu wanted Lian Qiao's master to treat was probably the Crown Prince...

The Crown Prince's poor health has only been a matter of the last few years.

However, can Lianqiao's master really cure the prince's congenital heart disease?

...

Ye Yunshu only rested for an hour before getting up.

The eunuchs serving the Crown Prince were already waiting outside the Zixiao Pavilion. They had heard that Prime Minister Lin had already arrived and were just waiting for Lord Ye to go over...

On the same day, Consort Wu of the palace smashed a lot of things in Ronghua Palace.

She sent someone out of the palace to deliver some things to her family, but they were stopped by the female guards at the palace gate...
