Doctor Gu kept urging Cui Mixue to take out the prescription for him to see, but she was extremely embarrassed and looked at Situ Yao at a loss.
"Master Gu, this is a misunderstanding. Miss Cui hasn't found a solution." Situ Yao unexpectedly came to her rescue, making Cui Mixue happy for a moment. With an apologetic look on her face, she said to Doctor Gu, "I was too eager for quick success and thought the prescription would work. I made Master Gu so disappointed. I hope you can forgive me, Doctor Gu."
Doctor Gu's face instantly turned dejected. "I knew this would happen. So many doctors before us haven't found a cure for the plague. How can we find one in just a few days?"
"Miss Cui, there is no need to blame yourself. I understand how you feel." Doctor Gu did not blame her. Without saying a few words, he returned to the house and continued to read medical books.
Cui Mixue thought Situ Yao didn't care about her stupid behavior. With a perfect smile on her face, she said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you and Yan'er. I was wrong. Fortunately, you stopped me and didn't let anyone drink it."
Su Mengyan didn't say anything, but looked at Cui Mixue with an indescribable expression. Why did she feel that what she said was like a white lotus in the prime of life, or that her cultivation was very deep, the kind that other people could not see through at all.
Before, I always had a female protagonist filter for her and tended to ignore what she did. It seems that Situ Yao was right. It is better to stay away from her in the future. Su Mengyan realized it later and nodded in agreement.
Situ Yao ignored Cui Mixue completely. Just then, the men's clothes that Qingfeng had found for Su Mengyan were returned. He handed the clothes to her and said, "Go back to your room and change."
Cui Mixue was sharp-eyed and noticed that Su Mengyan was holding men's clothes. Knowing that Situ Yao would not answer her, she pulled Su Mengyan aside and asked, "Yan'er, why did you change into men's clothes?"
Su Mengyan wasn't sure if she could say it, so she just mumbled, "When you're out and about, men's clothes are more convenient."
"That's true. The young master always takes you with him when he goes out, so I prepared a set of men's clothes." Cui Mixue said sourly, wishing she was the one following Situ Yao.
Su Mengyan wanted to tell her, because if she changed her current personality, she would definitely be the heroine again. But she was afraid that her words would be considered nonsense, so she said nothing.
"Yan'er said before that she would help me, do you remember?" Cui Mixue suddenly asked.
Su Mengyan thought carefully. The only thing she had promised Cui Mixue was to bring her and Situ Yao together. She had tried very hard before, but it seemed to be in vain.
But now that she knew Cui Mixue was not what she seemed, Su Mengyan suddenly didn't want to set them up anymore.
But under Cui Mixue's scorching gaze, she nodded, "I remember."
"Are you still willing to help me?" Cui Mixue asked her tentatively.
"How do you want me to help you?" Su Mengyan threw the clothes aside. "Besides, the most important thing for us to do in Chu City is to solve the plague, not to talk about love. Let's talk about this matter after returning to the palace."
Cui Mixue pushed her hard and said, "Yan'er has also fallen in love with the young master, so she is unwilling to help me?" Her eyes seemed to be filled with poison.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I have no other choice." Su Mengyan spoke earnestly and tactfully, "If the young master really likes you, you two can be together without my help. If he doesn't like you, then no matter what I do, it won't help."
"Yan'er is still being stubborn. It's obvious that she has fallen in love with the young master and doesn't want to give him to anyone else." Cui Mixue looked at her hurt. "You swore to help me before, but now you regret it."
Su Mengyan was annoyed by her pestering and couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "Don't worry, I don't like the young master, and I won't compete with you for him. If you like him, go after him yourself, don't ask me to come to you, I can't do anything about it."
After saying these words, Su Mengyan picked up her clothes and walked inside. "I'm going to change my clothes. Miss Cui, if you don't have anything else, please go back."
Cui Mixue glanced towards the door with a smug smile in her eyes.
It turned out that Situ Yao wanted to come up to see how Su Mengyan's clothes were changing. But as soon as he reached the door, he heard her bold words. He felt a pang of pain in his heart, so he left before he finished listening.
Situ Yao sat there and thought for a long time. He was not the kind of person who indulged in love. It was a good thing that Su Mengyan didn't like him. At least she wouldn't bother him, and he didn't have to worry too much about her.
But the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He was the dignified Crown Prince, so why should he be despised by a lowly concubine?
In Situ Yao's mind, disliking someone is the same as despising them, so he thought Su Mengyan hated him and despised him. But what right did she have to do that?
Situ Yao was very angry and suddenly rushed forward and stood outside the door to open it.
The door of the inn opened from the inside, and a handsome young boy stood before him, smiling brightly and asking, "Sir, why are you here?"
Situ Yao suddenly forgot what he came up for. He frowned and looked at Su Mengyan and said, "You need to disguise your face a little bit."
Su Mengyan clearly saw that Situ Yao had a dark face just now, how come it disappeared in just a moment? She wondered if she had seen it wrong?
She was pulled into the house by Situ Yao in confusion, and sat in front of the mirror. She made some modifications to her facial shape, thickening her previous willow-shaped eyebrows a little, making her whole face more heroic.
"How are you now?" Su Mengyan suddenly leaned forward, "Is he going to be recognized?"
"It's okay." Situ Yao said nonchalantly, "As long as you keep your mouth shut, you won't be exposed."
Su Mengyan happily turned around in front of the bronze mirror and felt that she was very handsome in men's clothes. The only flaw was that she was a little short.
Especially when standing with Situ Yao, the difference is particularly obvious.
Situ Yao saw her walking in circles and initially wanted to ask her about what she had just said to Cui Mixue. However, the words came to his lips but he swallowed them back and finally gave up.
The time mentioned in Wang Shouli's invitation was approaching, so Situ Yao could only suppress the matter in his heart for the time being and told Su Mengyan, "When we get to Zui Hong Lou, you will be my younger brother. Remember not to reveal the truth."
"Then what do I need to do?" Su Mengyan was a little nervous.
Situ Yao didn't care at all and was very calm. "You just need to observe them secretly, and follow my instructions for the rest."
Only after making sure that they would not be discovered did Situ Yao take Su Mengyan out.
She thought Zuihonglou would be as deserted as the streets during the day. It was not until she got off the carriage that Su Mengyan realized she was wrong. Zuihonglou was brightly lit and bustling with people, and it didn't look like there was a plague at all.
