After putting on her ice skates, Zuo Miaomiao only dared to move cautiously and slightly on the ice.

Fu Weiyun taught her a little trick, which gave her the courage to move forward.

Although it still looks clumsy, at least it can glide a long distance.

She was extremely grateful.

"Thank you, General Fu!"

Fu Weiyun smiled slightly: "You're welcome."

Zuo Miaomiao turned around and went to practice the skills she had just learned.

The more he practiced, the more skilled he became, and soon he could swim on the ice like a fish.

Immersed in blissful oblivion.

Suddenly, someone rammed into her from the right, knocking her down onto the ice with a "bang."

If she hadn't been wearing thick clothes, she probably would have broken her bones.

"Sorry, I just slipped."

The girl who had fallen on her quickly got up and apologized profusely.

Are you alright?

Zuo Miaomiao felt a little pain in her bones, but thought she wasn't injured, so she replied, "I'm fine."

"That's good."

After saying this, the girl left.

After a while, Zuo Miaomiao slowly stood up from the ground, adjusted her breathing, and was about to start gliding when another figure crashed into her.

This time it's a different girl.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, there was a pothole there, and I slipped and fell."

Zuo Miaomiao looked into the distance and saw that there was indeed a dent. She thought she was just unlucky and had just run into a place where others could easily fall, and ended up being used as a punching bag.

He didn't say anything.

But when she got up again, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the two girls who had bumped into her standing next to Cai Wu, covering their mouths and laughing.

Another girl was breaking away from them and sliding towards her.

The other party was heading straight for her, and its path did not cross the ditch.

She was instantly filled with anger.

Those two were clearly doing it on purpose.

These people have gone too far. She didn't offend them, yet they're making fun of her.

Do you think she's easy to bully?

She steadied herself, quietly gathered her strength, and slammed back hard when the other person rammed into her.

The other person was bounced back, looking completely bewildered, and crashed into Cai Wu and the other two who were caught off guard, knocking them all to the ground.

After the bang, screams rang out.

"My leg! Help—"

It was Cai Siqing's voice.

Zuo Miaomiao's heart tightened.

But then she realized that it was the other party who bumped into her, not her, so even if she were in front of the Empress Dowager, she would still be in the right.

Cai Siqing screamed so shrilly that anyone who didn't know better would think she had been assassinated.

The imperial physician arrived quickly.

The diagnosis revealed that her leg was broken.

When the Empress Dowager learned of this, she summoned Xiao Qingyin.

"Your bone-setting plaster can set bones painlessly, right? Qing'er is afraid of pain, and she might not be able to handle the imperial physician's method. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Qingyin already knew the whole story.

This is the mess that Cai's fifth daughter made herself, so naturally she won't help her.

"I'm sorry, but during the winter season, the raw materials for the Tendon and Joint Plaster are scarce, so we can't make new products. We've also run out of the previous ones."

The Empress Dowager looked bewildered.

"there is none left?"

"Yes."

The Empress Dowager remained silent.

She didn't quite believe Xiao Qingyin's words, but she couldn't verify them.

"What ingredients are used in the 'Rejuvenating Tendons and Joints Plaster'? Can you tell me? The Imperial Hospital might have the ingredients."

Xiao Qingyin lied through her teeth: "We need a peculiar creature that hides underground like grass roots in winter and turns into an insect that flies around in summer."

Empress Dowager: "..."

She had only ever heard of cordyceps.

I've never heard of winter grass and summer worms.

Such an unheard-of item could not possibly be found in the Imperial Medical Academy.

She had no choice but to give up.

Upon hearing the reply, Cai Siqing was so angry that she whipped the maid.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You bitch! Just you wait!"

Meanwhile, upon learning that Xiao Qingyin had refused to treat Cai Siqing, Zuo Miaomiao said anxiously, "Sister Xiao, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"It's nothing," Xiao Qingyin said with a smile. "I didn't like her anyway."

The Empress Dowager wanted to marry Cai Siqing to her cousin Zhao, but Cai Siqing herself had her eye on Weiyun. Even if her brothers were outstanding, she couldn't keep eyeing them all the time.

There are plenty of sons of noble families in the capital.

She took Zuo Miaomiao's hand and asked, "You fell twice, does it still hurt?"

"It still hurts a little."

"Let me show you."

After examining her, she found that she was not seriously injured, only with some bruises, so she gave her a bottle of medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

He instructed her to apply it every two hours.

Zuo Miaomiao nodded: "I will."

After this incident, Xiao Qingyin gave up her idea of ​​ice skating.

Seeing that Yi Shuihan was unusually well-behaved, he asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Yi Shuihan gave her a long, quiet look.

"Do I even have a chance to speak?"

Xiao Qingyin laughed loudly.

"You can say it now."

Yi Shuihan glanced at the sky outside and replied, "After you wash up tonight, I'll take you somewhere."

Where to?

"secret."

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

This person is becoming more and more secretive.

Because he mentioned it, she felt a sense of anticipation.

She couldn't wait for it to get dark so she could eat dinner sooner and find out what he wanted to do with her this time.

On a dark and windy night, would he take her to kill someone?

It's terrifying to even think about.

She suddenly lost her anticipation.

After everyone had rested at night, he quietly came to the tent and called to her, "You can go now, put on more clothes."

Even without him saying it, Xiao Qingyin knew she should wear more clothes.

It's freezing cold, and it's the middle of the night. If I don't wear enough layers, I'm afraid I'll freeze into an icicle as soon as I go out.
