A light sigh escaped.

Prince Li raised his eyebrows: "Why are you sighing?"

To put it bluntly, Fang Shan is the most "innocent" one among them: she has never been framed for being in love with a man from the beginning to the end.

Fang Shan didn't answer. He looked at the sun above his head and felt dizzy. If he continued like this, he might not live to be ninety-nine in this world.

The two stood in silence for a long time, and then sighed at the same time.

Li Wang and Fang Shan exchanged a glance, deciding not to cause each other any more trouble, and walked off in separate directions. Fang Shan finally stopped beneath a large tree, picked up a branch, and began drawing circles on the ground, lost in thought.

The sun gradually set in the west, and when Wei Sushen came out, he had already dug a deep pit with branches that could be used to bury a person.

Looking up, he saw Wei Sushen and invited him, "Come in and feel it. Don't waste it."

Wei Sushen found a small shovel, filled the hole, and said calmly, "Meng Xunmei is interested in Yun Han. If she wants to take the next step, it will take time."

Fang Shan looked at him intently and asked hopefully, "Really?"

After staring at each other for three seconds, Wei Sushen looked away first. He was not yet able to lie seriously.

Fang Shan suddenly stood up, the confusion in his eyes completely gone, replaced by a look of determination: "Looks like this is the only way."

Hearing the word "method" from his mouth, Wei Sushen subconsciously felt a sharp pain in his head. He didn't ask for details, but just said, "Is it working?"

Fang Shan nodded and said seriously, "I promise to bring the host back in three days at most."

Wei Sushen stared at him for several times and said, "I've said it before, it's much easier to just send the hero and heroine to hell."

Fang Shan pressed his eyebrows together and said, "It has nothing to do with murder or arson."

The living dead were a serious matter, after all. After questioning Prince Li that day, he wrote an urgent report and had it delivered to the Imperial City. The mastermind had not yet been executed, and Prince Li was trying to extract more information from him.

Yun Han had already learned the method of making the living dead, but he had no concern for the subsequent work and was busy doing experiments in the house.

There wasn't even a place to put a teapot on the table. There were bottles and jars of water everywhere, and a large wooden barrel with potion bubbling inside.

No one dared to enter the room. Yun Han now looked at everyone as if they were guinea pigs. Meng Xunmei had initially helped out, but after witnessing the aloof Yun Han conducting experiments like a madman, she didn't dare stay any longer.

Marrying an outstanding man is important, but life is more important.

There was a series of knocks on the door.

Yun Han simply ignored it, but the knocking continued, and he couldn't calm down.

He went to open the door with a sullen face, and when he saw Fang Shan's smiling face, his brows furrowed: "What's the matter?"

Fang Shan nodded, his tone frighteningly gentle: "You've worked so hard for so many days. I'm worried about your health, so I asked someone to make you some nourishing soup."

Slightly surprised by his sudden concern, Yun Han coldly refused.

Fang Shan still had a warm smile on his face: "Drink it. Only after you drink it can I feel at ease."

Yun Han might not know every poison under the sun, but a bowl of poisoned medicine couldn't be hidden from him. In front of Fang Shan, he carefully screened the medicine powder with a silver needle, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put away the silver needle: "It's just a habit, don't mind it."

Fang Shan shook his head, looking completely unconcerned: "I just admire your caution."

“…”

After delivering the tonic soup, Fang Shan did not stay long. He said a few considerate words and left leisurely.

Yun Han stood there alone for a long time, feeling the biting cold in the hottest days of summer.

In the next few days, like a hardworking bee, Fang Shan reported to Yun Han on time, helped prepare three meals a day, and asked about his well-being, which made others feel scared.

After receiving Fang Shan's nourishing soup again, Yun Han said seriously, "I don't think I've ever done anything to let you down."

Fang Shan nodded: "Of course."

Yun Han frowned: "So what are your intentions?"

Fang Shan gave a mysterious smile and turned away.

Unable to continue the experiment, Yun Han went outside to get some fresh air and try to clear his mind. Breathing the fresh air on a country road, he overheard a low conversation. Approaching, he saw two of Prince Li's guards chatting under the eaves.

"Have you heard that the prince's counselor has been running to the miracle doctor for the past few days, no matter what?"

Another person said while cracking melon seeds, "I've seen it with my own eyes, not just heard about it."

"What do you think is the secret behind this?"

"Still don't understand?" He looked at his companion with disdain: "This is just like our prince's attitude towards the leader of the Blood Demon Sect. He's just attracted to him."

"I see."

Yun Han froze in his tracks. Thinking back to Fang Shan's smiles, he actually sensed a hint of reluctance in them. He shuddered on the spot, and after a long time, the warmth of the sun dispelled the chill, and he slowly walked back.

Hearing the footsteps going away, the two guards looked at each other and ran to the foot of the high wall. Fang Shan was leaning there, weaving weeds to pass the time.

He coughed and walked forward: "It's all done."

Fang Shan nodded: "Thank you for your help, both of you."

The guard looked around like a thief, and after confirming that there was no one around, he smiled a perverted smile and said, "Now you can tell us about the prince's romantic affairs."

Fang Shan paused, "It was a season of blossoming spring flowers. Prince Li, dressed in white, and the leader of the Blood Demon Sect, dressed in black, were riding horses on a spring outing..."

In this era, there was little entertainment available, at best casinos and brothels. As guards of the palace, they naturally could not go there. There were books of strange folk stories, but they were all warriors and had no patience to read them quietly. Now that they could hear about the prince's love, hate, and vengeance, they naturally felt a sense of curiosity.

As for the truth—

Oh!

Who cares?

Just make them happy.

Fang Shan composed the most melodramatic love story of the year with an expressionless face. The more he spoke, the more outrageous it became. There were many points that were no longer convincing, but the two guards still listened with great interest.

As the instigator, Fang Shan couldn't help but feel some sympathy for King Li. If he had two subordinates like this, he would be angered to death sooner or later.

The guard couldn't leave for too long, so after an incense stick of time, he reluctantly said goodbye to him: "See you in the grove tonight."

He only heard half of the story, and it was so agonizing. The two guards left, discussing what might happen next. By then, Fang Shan was already thirsty and hurried back. When he reached the door, he bumped into someone unexpectedly.

There were not many people wearing red clothes in Wuyou Village. Fang Shan took a step back and looked up, and sure enough, he saw that it was Wei Sushen.

He went in first, drank a glass of water to moisten his throat, and jokingly said, "Aren't you curious about what I've been doing these days?"

Wei Sushen: "I heard about it."

Fang Shan stared at him for several seconds: "Why don't you ask in detail?"

Wei Sushen maintained an indifferent expression.

Fang Shan lifted his chin with his index finger: "Is the host jealous?"

Before Wei Sushen could speak, Fang Shan made a shushing gesture: "You can see that he has lost a lot of weight."

Wei Sushen: "Because I've been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures recently."

You must care about your own host.

Fang Shan looked worried: "It's too hot, can't you eat?"

Wei Sushen shook his head: "Pray for blessings."

It took almost no thought to know that Fang Shan's sudden enthusiasm would bring disastrous consequences to Yun Han.

"..." Fang Shan explained with a cold face: "This is one of the thirty-six strategies."

Wei Sushen: "Forcing a good woman into prostitution?"

Fang Shan gritted his teeth and said, "That doesn't belong to the Thirty-Six Stratagems. This is a feint to the east and attack in the west."

Wei Sushen felt that it didn’t matter what the plan was, because for Yun Han, the outcome would be the same.

·

In this regard, he can be said to be very foresighted.

Yun Han walked back, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was a very good judge of character; Fang Shan was clearly someone who would not give up until he achieved his goal. Considering Fang Shan's recent behavior, he felt even more certain that if he were to be implicated, he would be only one step away from destruction.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky... This person has a close relationship with the leader of the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult is still in its heyday, which shows that the members are all tough. With this thought, he couldn't help but feel a little wary of the Demon Cult.

How can I get rid of entanglement?

The distress caused by this problem has caused him to put his research on the living dead aside.

"Brother Yun."

A soft voice came.

Yun Han returned to his usual demeanor and saw Meng Xunmei standing under a tree, smiling sweetly at him: "It's so hot, why are you standing in the sun?"

Compared to Fang Shan's recent "open door and warmth", Meng Xunmei's concern was like a spring breeze. If nothing else, at least he didn't have to worry about the other party's intentions.

Meng Xunmei came over and went under the eaves to avoid the hot sunlight: "I came here to ask a question."

Yun Han nodded and motioned for her to speak.

Meng Xunmei asked cautiously, "Do you... like him?"

They both knew who this 'he' was.

Yun Han shook his head.

Meng Xunmei: "But everyone says that Master Fang comes to your room every day."

Yun Han's eyelids twitched: "Don't make groundless assumptions."

Meng Xunmei did not retreat because of the harsh tone. Instead, she said, "If that's the case, why don't you consider me?"

Yun Han looked at her. Meng Xunmei didn't flinch. "There are only a few people in the world who can match the world's number one doctor. I admit that I have many shortcomings, but I also have some knowledge of medicine, so we can talk about things. What's more, being with me can make Fang Shan give up."

After hearing most of the reasons, Yun Han was indifferent, but the last sentence really moved his heart.

It would be a great thing if I could get rid of Fang Shan's entanglement through this.

"This is unfair to the girl."

Meng Xunmei grew calmer. "Life is unfair, and no emotion in the world can be balanced like a scale. Besides, I don't necessarily want you, but I admire the character of the miracle doctor. As a girl, I naturally want to find a good partner."

After she spoke out, Yun Han looked at her with a higher opinion.

At this moment in another room, Fang Shan and Wei Sushen were discussing a similar topic.

Fang Shan raised his glass and covered his lips with his hands, laughing softly: "If I can only choose between me and Meng Xunmei, what do you think the result will be?"

Wei Sushen said calmly: "Of course it's you."

He really didn't like Meng Xunmei's personality.

Faced with the decisive answer, Fang Shan was speechless for a moment. After a while, he reached out and pinched Wei Sushen's face twice, deeply suspecting that the host had been replaced.
