"After spending a long time in the clinic, I learned about all kinds of medicinal herbs."

"Furthermore, I plan to plant some Chinese medicinal herbs in the backyard and dry some of them; you can help with that too."

Listening to Yun Duoduo's words, Xiaoying felt that she was very good at traditional Chinese medicine and taking care of people, so she decided to go to the clinic with Yun Duoduo.

“If the princess doesn’t mind, this servant, ah, Xiaoying, will go with the princess.”

"good!"

Looking at Xiaoying, Yun Duoduo thought of Huichuntang in the Northern Frontier. She figured that Xinshi, Zizhu, and Baizhi would be able to manage the clinic well and cure the patients.

Yun Duoduo pulled Xiao Ying along, and the group walked and talked.

...

In the dead of night, the military camp of the Northern Liang imperial palace was completely silent.

Suddenly, the sound of galloping hooves came from outside the palace, as if there was an urgent matter to report.

"Report! Urgent report from the Imperial Mausoleum!"

Upon hearing these words, the guards at the palace gate hurriedly went to inform the king and verify the identity of the messenger.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Chen Yuan rushed into Baili Yingfeng's bedchamber with a letter in his hand.

"What's up?!"

Baili Yingfeng rubbed his temples and sat up in bed with disheveled hair.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has done something terrible!"

"What?!"

Baili Yingfeng's expression instantly turned serious, and he casually grabbed his outer robe and draped it over his shoulders.

"Prepare the horses!"

"Summon all the imperial physicians and proceed to the imperial mausoleum immediately!"

Since the late emperor's death, Empress Dowager Hesheli, Baili Yingfeng's mother, has been staying by his side at the imperial mausoleum.

[It's been so long since I've seen my mother; I never expected such news to come from the imperial mausoleum.]

Why did Mother suddenly fall ill?

Following behind Baili Yingfeng, Chen Yuan suggested, "Your Majesty, should we bring Consort Nan along?"

"Consort Nan's medical skills are superb; perhaps there will be a use for her."

"Miao Nanyan? It's too late. Women are the most dawdling when they go out."

Baili Yingfeng was anxious and hurried towards the palace gate.

"I just received a letter from the Imperial Mausoleum. I have already sent someone to inform Consort Nan to make preparations."

Baili Yingfeng suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Chen Yuan with suspicion: "When did you learn to act on your own?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Chen Yuan knelt on one knee and bowed his head to beg for forgiveness.

"Alright, let's go."

Baili Yingfeng was deep in thought.

Miao Nanyan's strange medical skills might actually come in handy.

He had always been wary of Miao Nanyan and suspected some of her unusual behavior, believing that she was sent to Hongxiu Kingdom for ulterior motives.

However, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and she does have some skill in treating and saving lives.

"Prepare a carriage for Consort Nan."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

...

Upon arriving at Chang'an Street, Yun Duoduo found the Baixiangge Spice Shop and immediately spotted the three large characters "Huichuntang".

"Oh, Duo'er, this is... your clinic?"

Sun Huohuo was quite surprised to see the seemingly legitimate medical clinic.

[Duo'er has been in northern Xinjiang. When was this clinic prepared?]

"This is it!"

Yun Duoduo put her two little hands behind her back and went inside.

"Oh, the young master is here?"

Aunt Sheng was wearing a light gray-purple long dress with a dark orchid pattern. She was plump but looked very strong. She was tall with big eyes and fair skin. She also had a loud voice.

Yun Duoduo was startled by the sudden appearance of the person and hurriedly took a few steps back.

The human trafficker she encountered last time also looked like a plump middle-aged woman, which made Yun Duoduo feel a little scared when she saw someone similar now.

Xiaoying quickly stood in front of Yun Duoduo.

"Oh, don't be afraid, young master."

"Master Kang and Master Yun have instructed that this is the young master's shop, and everything must be done according to the young master's orders."

[The first boss, the second boss?]

[The head of the household must be the third prince. Who is the second head? Could it be Kang Qiming?]

"Come on, young master. Oh, by the way, my surname is Sheng. I'll take you to see the backyard."

Xiaoying noticed that the person in front of her was being overly enthusiastic and suspected that they were human traffickers. She turned to look at Yun Duoduo and shook her head.

"It's alright, let's go in and take a look."

Yun Duoduo found that the plump aunt's surname was correct, and she didn't have any dirty or filthy thoughts, so she decided to go in and take a look.

She followed Aunt Sheng to the backyard, with Jin Zhuangzhuang, Sun Huohuo, and Xiaoying following behind Yun Duoduo.

Passing through the corridor, you arrive at the backyard, where a vibrant scene of flowers and willows unfolds before your eyes, with fish and water reflecting each other.

【Holy crap, what kind of strategy is this?】

Yun Duoduo stood still and blinked.

If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd stumbled upon a small farm.

When I first entered Huichuntang, everything seemed normal. There were tables and benches for consultations, medicine cabinets and medicine bags. After passing through the inner room, I arrived at the backyard.

But this backyard is truly dazzling.

The yard was filled with red and green fruits and vegetables...

On the green grass, there are piglets running around, cats chasing butterflies, and mynahs chirping and greeting each other in the trees...

There's also a big white goose, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle, stretching its snow-white neck as it feels the pain of youth...

There were two large fish tanks in the corner, and Yun Duoduo could guess without even looking that there must be lotus flowers and koi in them.

Ah, this...

[Truly, wealth and status are blinding...]

“Young master, this backyard is quite well utilized.”

[Was it used properly?]

[We're saying the utilization rate is almost 100%, so where is she going to grow the herbs?]
