Su Mengyan failed to get Situ Yao to agree to give her the priceless South China Sea Night Pearl, so she looked disgusted. It was not until the appearance of the genius doctor Xiaoyaozi that she slowly got better.
"No matter who you are or who you are, my rules will not change. If you want the Purple Jade Lotus, you must hand over your most precious thing." The genius doctor had a white beard, but he looked energetic and did not look like an old man in his fifties at all.
"Purple Jade Lotus is my most precious medicinal herb. I can't just give it to you for nothing." Xiaoyaozi had long seen that Situ Yao had an extraordinary bearing and must be either rich or noble, but he didn't care.
"This is the most precious person to me. There is no other." Situ Yao said it affectionately, as if it were true.
"I don't like to steal other people's wives. You'd better find another one." Xiaoyaozi refused.
Su Mengyan had long known about his quirks, but she hadn't expected him to be so difficult to deal with. Fortunately, she was prepared.
She opened the ice box and asked, "What if we add this?"
"Master, Master, this is the dessert I was talking about just now. It looks delicious." The little boy pulled the sleeve of the miracle doctor, looking very greedy.
Xiaoyaozi devoted his life to studying medicine and never married or had children. He wasn't interested in fame, wealth, or success, but he had an undeniable love for food. When he saw a dessert Su Mengyan had never seen before, he couldn't help but lick his lips.
Out of respect, he asked very reservedly, "What did you bring?"
"It's a dessert." Su Mengyan took it out on her own initiative. "If the Divine Doctor doesn't mind, you can try it first."
When Xiaoyaozi was about to come over to take it, Situ Yao suddenly stopped him, "Wait!"
"The miracle doctor hasn't agreed to give us the purple jade lotus yet." Situ Yao frowned, unwilling to give it to him.
Xiaoyaozi was very dissatisfied. "Isn't it just a broken flower? After I taste this dessert, if I think it tastes good, I will consider giving you the Purple Jade Lotus."
The purple jade lotus, which is considered extremely precious by the world, has become a broken flower in Xiaoyaozi's eyes, not worth mentioning. It can be imagined how little he values these material possessions.
Situ Yao had no choice but to agree and stared at Xiaoyaozi as he took the first bite.
Su Mengyan couldn't wait to ask, "How does it taste? Is the miracle doctor satisfied?"
"I can't taste it. I need to eat a few more bites." After saying that, the master and disciple finished all the desserts that Su Mengyan brought.
"Can you hand over the Purple Jade Lotus now?" Su Mengyan pointed at the empty ice box. "We'll trade you a dessert that the miracle doctor has never tasted in exchange for your Purple Jade Lotus."
"Okay." The genius doctor smacked his lips, still unsatisfied. "But you have to stay and cook for us, master and disciple."
"Because I said before that she is your most precious thing. Since you brought her here and said that she is your most precious thing, naturally she has to stay, otherwise forget it." Xiaoyaozi didn't want to eat such delicious food only once.
According to Situ Yao's previous guess, the genius doctor would give the purple jade lotus to them after eating the dessert made by Su Mengyan, and he never thought of keeping people here.
No matter what, Su Mengyan is his woman. Situ Yao shook his head and refused, "The genius doctor just said that he won't take another person's wife."
"I did say that," the doctor admitted readily. "But is she your wife? I've been wandering the world for so many years and have seen many strange people and things, but I've never seen a man want to trade his wife."
Situ Yao hesitated for a long time and couldn't nod, because Su Mengyan was indeed not his Crown Princess.
"Girl, he is not your ideal man. It is better for you to stay with us, master and disciple. I will teach you medical skills in the future. In time, you can also become a miracle doctor." A dessert made Su Mengyan successfully capture the hearts of the master and disciple, and they all persuaded Su Mengyan to stay.
"Young Master, please come with me." Su Mengyan called Situ Yao aside to discuss the matter.
"The princess's poison cannot be delayed. I will stay here. Your Highness, please take Zi Yulian away." After Su Mengyan finished speaking, she was opposed by Situ Yao, "No!"
"Why not?" Su Mengyan asked back, "The Miraculous Doctor isn't a bad person. I have nothing to lose by staying here. And since His Highness was able to obtain the Purple Jade Lotus and save the princess's life, we're definitely getting the upper hand no matter how you look at it."
Situ Yao also knew that sacrificing an insignificant concubine to save his own sister was something he should agree to no matter what. However, there was always another voice in his heart that told him to refuse. He couldn't explain the reason, but he simply didn't want Su Mengyan to leave him.
"Your Highness, please agree. The princess can't wait." Su Mengyan urged.
"Have you planned this long ago?" Situ Yao's face gradually became gloomy. "You've wanted to get rid of me for a long time, right?"
"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Su Mengyan smiled faintly, "I have no choice but to do this."
"Have you reached an agreement?" the doctor shouted from the other side. "Hurry up! I might change my mind in a moment."
"We've discussed it." Su Mengyan replied, "I will stay. I also ask the Divine Doctor to keep his promise and hand over the Purple Jade Lotus to you, young master."
"I..." Situ Yao was about to get angry, but Su Mengyan suppressed his anger in advance, "Sir, Zi Yulian is here to save people. I just stayed to cook a few meals for the genius doctor."
"I won't make it difficult for you," the doctor said mercifully. "Just stay here for a year. After that, you can decide whether to stay or leave."
"No, I can't leave you here." Situ Yao's eyes exuded murderous intent. Su Mengyan was worried that he would take action and snatch the purple jade lotus away the next moment.
She thought of a solution in a hurry and squeezed out a few tears, "Master, there are still people waiting for Zi Yulian to save their lives. Please let me stay here. If you haven't forgotten me after a year, please come here to take me home."
Situ Yao was confused by her behavior and had no idea how to respond. Just then, the little boy brought over the box containing the purple jade lotus.
The genius doctor handed it to Situ Yao, "This is the purple jade lotus you wanted."
"Boil it into medicinal juice, it can cure all kinds of poisons." The genius doctor explained all the benefits of the purple jade lotus.
Situ Yao didn't take it, and the genius doctor stuffed it into his arms, "She is a good girl, don't come to harm her." After he said that, he took Su Mengyan into the house and closed the yard door again.
Situ Yao held the box that weighed a thousand pounds and did not move for a long time.
"Send someone to guard secretly." Situ Yao ordered word by word, "When the princess wakes up, no matter what method you use, you must bring Su Mengyan back!"
"The miracle doctor's martial arts skills are unfathomable. Unless there are special circumstances, we must not alert him." Situ Yao was worried that the miracle doctor would discover the guards and run away with Su Mengyan.
Situ Yao took Zi Yulian away, and the hustle and bustle outside the yard returned to calm.
