When the Sage of Medicine got tired of smoking, he threw down the feather duster and said to Yan Jiushu, "Go back to your room and digest what I just said."
"Prescribe a medicine for this ailment tomorrow. If the medicine isn't used accurately, I'll break your legs!"
Yan Jiushu felt wronged, but she still agreed.
When Lin Xiuyan came out of the Medical Sage's place, Yan Jiushu asked her, "Did you understand everything Master said today?"
Lin Xiuyan nodded, and Yan Jiushu looked at her as if she were a monster and said, "I finally understand why Master dislikes me so much this time we met again."
"With you standing there making me look bad, all I'm left to do is take the beating."
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Your medical skills are already very good. It's just that the Medical Sage's requirements were too high."
Yan Jiushu sighed and said, "I've always known that I'm only mediocre in medical skills. This can't be forced. You don't need to comfort me."
Lin Xiuyan looked at him seriously and said, "I think you have a good aptitude for medicine, but you don't have enough experience yet."
"I believe that as long as you study diligently, you will definitely become a master doctor whose medical skills are no less than those of your fifth uncle."
She was telling the truth; when she died in her previous life, Yan Jiushu's medical skills were already extremely advanced.
Yan Jiushu met her clear and bright eyes and felt a little embarrassed, but said, "Just because of what you said, I have to study medicine hard."
"I dare not say anything else, but at least I cannot betray your trust."
The medical sage always looked down on him, and he once felt that he had no talent for studying medicine.
Now that Lin Xiuyan had told him to believe her so seriously, he felt a little more confident.
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly at him: "I believe you can do it!"
After discussing the medical case with the medical sage, she had an idea in mind about how to treat Lin Yunzhi's body.
She decided to buy some medicinal herbs and boil them into a paste, which she would give to him to drink the next time they met.
After hearing her plan, Yan Jiushu decided to go with her to buy medicine, because he felt that although her medical skills were passable, she might not be able to distinguish the quality of the medicinal materials.
Things have been peaceful on Princess Pingnan's side for the past few days.
She spends her days either brewing medicine to heal Ye Jingxian's injuries or preparing dowry for Ye Mingzhu, which makes Lin Xiuyan feel that she is holding back a big move.
Lin Xiuyan had recently witnessed many of the Princess Consort of Pingnan's methods and knew that she was not only ruthless and vicious, but also had a variety of tricks up her sleeve, so she needed to be careful and wary.
With Yan Jiushu accompanying me when I go out to buy medicine, my safety is guaranteed an extra layer.
After all, Wu Dao's injuries hadn't healed yet, and Ye Junfei had to go to the Hall of State Affairs every day, with Wu Ge by his side, so she could only be extra careful.
So she didn't refuse Yan Jiushu's company and went out together.
Lin Xiuyan had been in Liefeng City for some time now, and she was quite familiar with the place, knowing that the largest pharmacy was located at the corner of Luoye Alley.
As Yan Jiushu walked, she chatted idly. The streets were crowded and bustling.
As they turned the corner, several children suddenly rushed out from the road.
A child fell down in front of Yan Jiushu, and he reached out to help the child up.
But when he helped the child up, the child immediately plunged a knife into Yan Jiushu's abdomen and ran away.
This turn of events happened extremely quickly. By the time Lin Xiuyan reacted, the child had already run far away.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiuyan took out the silver needles she carried with her and used them to stop the bleeding for Yan Jiushu.
Just as she put down the needle, an arrow shot towards her. She narrowly dodged it, only to find that many archers had been lying in ambush all around her.
The pedestrians scattered like birds and beasts, and cries of alarm rose and fell.
Lin Xiuyan knew that if she wanted to protect herself, she would have to abandon Yan Jiushu, since Yan Jiushu was doomed to die under the current circumstances.
If she were to escape with Yan Jiushu, he would be severely injured and unable to get far, and the two of them would likely die here together.
Although Yan Jiushu was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat, he didn't utter a sound. He whispered, "Don't worry about me, go quickly!"
Lin Xiuyan gritted her teeth and cursed, "Another assassination attempt? Can't these sons of bitches come up with something new?"
Yan Jiushu said weakly, "Perhaps what they want is not novelty, but how to kill you."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
He was still in the mood to joke at a time like this!
Before the arrows could reach her, she used her personal weapon to shoot and kill an archer.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other archers hadn't recovered, she decisively pulled Yan Jiushu into a nearby shop.
Before she could fully hide, she saw a red shadow flash by, and a broadsword was swung out, cleaving an archer in two with a single stroke.
Lin Xiuyan was somewhat surprised when she saw Qu Shuangyue's signature red dress. She knew that Qu Shuangyue had arrived, and that she was unlikely to die today.
Qu Shuangyue brandished her broadsword and slashed at the people while cursing, "You bunch of blind bastards, how dare you ambush my daughter! Do you have a death wish!"
Fearing for her safety, Lin Xiuyan left Yan Jiushu in a corner, took out her weapon, and went to help.
Although the mother and daughter don't fight together very often, their tacit understanding is innate.
One of them was cutting down people in front, while the other was shooting at those who were firing arrows from behind. They quickly beat down the assassins who surrounded them.
Qu Shuangyue kicked the last assassin who hadn't had time to escape off the roof.
As the assassin fell to the ground, she also jumped off the roof.
She stomped her foot on the assassin's chest and said, "Who sent you?"
Assassin: "..."
Where did this woman come from? She's so fierce!
He answered slowly, and Qu Shuangyue slapped him across the face in a fit of rage, knocking out several of his teeth: "Speak up!"
She was so strong that when she knocked the assassin's teeth out, she also knocked him unconscious.
Lin Xiuyan was all too familiar with her own mother's methods, so she stepped forward and said, "Let me do it!"
Qu Shuangyue frowned and said, "This person is too fragile."
Lin Xiuyan's lips twitched. How many people in the world could withstand Qu Shuangyue's slapping?
She took out a silver needle and stuck it into an acupoint on the assassin, instantly waking him up.
Lin Xiuyan then took out the pendant hanging from her chest and waved it in front of the assassin's eyes, causing the assassin's eyes to gradually become glazed.
Lin Xiuyan asked, "Who sent you?"
The assassin said somewhat blankly, "Young Master Zhou sent me."
Lin Xiuyan was not too surprised by this, after all, once the Princess Consort of Pingnan made a move, it would never be as easy to break the deadlock as it was today.
Today's straightforward and brutal approach certainly seems to be in Zhou Shuyi's style.
After getting the answer, Qu Shuangyue raised her foot and kicked the assassin like a ball against the wall next to her, and then the assassin rolled back a little.
The assassin, who had just regained consciousness, fainted again.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
