The people sent by Yang Guifei went through untold hardships and searched continuously among the many addresses given by Yang Guifei, and finally found Jiang Li's trace at one of the addresses.
It was a quiet valley hidden in the mountains, surrounded by green hills and shady trees.
There are many wooden houses scattered in the valley, with smoke rising from the chimneys, making it look like a picture of an isolated paradise.
When Yang Guifei's men stepped into the valley, the originally peaceful and harmonious atmosphere was instantly broken.
The residents here noticed the intrusion of outsiders and looked at them vigilantly, their eyes full of alertness.
They held a variety of weapons in their hands, including hoes, sickles, and homemade bows and arrows, as if they were ready to deal with possible threats at any time.
Some quick-witted residents immediately put down their work and ran to report the news, looking for someone in the valley who could make a decision.
And this person is Jiang Li.
Jiang Li studied under the Medical Immortal Sect and has been studying literature, martial arts and medicine diligently since childhood.
Although his martial arts skills are not the strongest in the world, they are enough to deal with most situations and cope with various circumstances.
When he came out, he was holding a sword that gleamed with cold light in his hand and several bottles of poison in his arms.
Obviously well prepared.
If anyone comes with ill intentions, they will be dealt with without mercy to protect the peace and tranquility of the valley.
Seeing that he was so alert, the people who came to find him did not dare to delay at all. After asking clearly that he was the genius doctor Jiang Li, they immediately took out the letter written by Yang Guifei herself.
When Jiang Li saw the letter, his face was full of surprise: "She is looking for me?"
Jiang Li opened the letter with trepidation, but the expectations in his heart disappeared in an instant.
It turned out that she came to him to ask him to save her son.
After all, this was someone he had kept in his heart for many years. Even if Yang Guifei's request was just to use him, he quickly agreed and went back to his room to pack up his things.
Jiang Li carefully packed the commonly used medicinal herbs and medical instruments into the medicine box.
While he was packing, his thoughts drifted away involuntarily.
Thinking of his past interactions with Yang Guifei, Jiang Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After so many years, it seems that all she has done to me is exploit me.
Every contact, every request for help, was just to achieve her goal.
However, I was always unable to refuse any of her requests, and fell into this helpless cycle again and again.
"Yang Baiying, what should I do with you?"
Jiang Li sighed, picked up the medicine box and left the valley.
＊
Thanks to Jiang Li's help, Qu Zhaoyue finally saved her life, but she had to be well taken care of in the future and not make any big movements.
As for that ear, Jiang Li definitely had no way to deal with it.
He could only use disguise to make a fake ear for Qu Zhaoyue that was almost lifelike.
When all the treatment was completed, Jiang Li quietly packed his bags and prepared to leave.
Although deep down in his heart he longed to see the old friend whom he had not seen for many years.
But he knew clearly that this was an impossible luxury.
Their current identities have undergone tremendous changes.
He was just a traveling doctor practicing medicine outside the palace, while Yang Guifei was a concubine favored by the emperor in the palace, living in the deep palace and enjoying wealth and glory.
The passage of time has made the distance between them become extremely far.
Things are different now, and it is no longer appropriate for them to meet.
Moreover, Prince Ping... the current emperor probably doesn't want to see him, an old friend who once had an affair with Yang Guifei.
During the few months that Jiang Li stayed in Qu Zhaoyue's fiefdom, his heart could never calm down.
He often couldn't help but recall many past events.
All the details related to Yang Guifei emerged in his mind like vivid pictures.
Every memory was like a sharp blade piercing his heart.
In the end, Jiang Li decided to return to the familiar valley and quickly packed up his things and went into the mountains.
This trip reminded him of many things in the past, and he wanted to go pick herbs to relax.
The situation on Qu Zhaoyue's side is very bad.
He seemed to have fallen into an endless dark abyss. He was extremely depressed, and the aura emanating from his body was a kind of deathly aura that was rarely seen in young people.
He used to be strong, heroic, confident and active.
His skinny appearance now is in stark contrast to his previous appearance.
He had lost a lot of weight. His once firm and full muscles had disappeared, replaced by prominent bone contours.
Not to the point of being skin and bones, but pretty close.
At the beginning, the unbearable and severe pain in his body tortured him.
Every inch of his skin and every joint felt as if deeply pierced by countless steel needles, causing him unbearable pain.
Even though there were delicacies from land and sea in front of him, he had no appetite at all.
Every day, he can only rely on a small amount of soup to barely maintain the basic needs of life.
Later, his physical pain gradually improved and he was able to eat some food to supplement his nutrition.
But the psychological trauma began to spread deep in his heart, like a thick haze that could not be shaken off.
His former ambitions were shattered by the cruel reality, and the throne was a long way away from him.
Past glory and dreams have vanished into thin air.
All of this plunged him into deep despair.
