Chapter 744 The Secret of Eating Alone



Upon hearing this, both of them fell silent.

Although he said it was nothing to do with him, his expression was gloomy, and his hidden pain was evident everywhere.

Dingxiang couldn't help but feel incredibly sorry for the two of them.

After a while, she slowly began to recite: "When my hair first covered my forehead, I played with flowers in front of the door. My love rode a bamboo horse and played with green plums around the bed. We lived together in Changgan, two little ones without any suspicion or doubt."

Even as an outsider, I was extremely unwilling to accept it. Could it be that all the feelings in the world would eventually be defeated by my childhood sweetheart?

Even then, it was Qin King Xuanyuan Han who insisted on personally welcoming her into the family.

So, I couldn't help but ask, "Even so, you two must have gone through many unforgettable things together. Can you really let go of them all?"

As for Yi Shangyun, now that things have developed to this point, what's the point of letting go?

Memories of two worlds

Along with the lover from my memories of two lifetimes.

It seems that they are gradually returning to their original positions.

Upon closer reflection, this King Xuanyuan Han of Qin was indeed a decent person; after all, he was destined to return to the 21st century.

He also needs someone who cares for him and understands his needs.

Now, everything seems to be nothing more than the most ordinary sunset returning to the mountains and sea in nature.

So all the silence that followed did not mean she had no emotions, or perhaps it meant there was no point in saying anything more.

After an unknown amount of time, Dingxiang finally spoke again, breaking the silence.

She glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late, you must be hungry. I'll go find something to eat."

Yi Shangyun then raised his head again, looked at her face, smiled slightly, and replied, "Okay!"

"Wait here, I'll be right back. I specifically asked them to make your favorite braised pork ribs today!"

So Dingxiang immediately got up and walked towards the door.

Seeing Dingxiang so happy, Yi Shangyun finally smiled with relief.

Lunchtime.

Physician Yue was sitting upright in front of a food table, taking out the food from the food box together with the servant who came to deliver the meal.

As the dishes were being served one after another, Physician Le suddenly felt puzzled and asked, "Why are there so many more dishes being delivered these past few days? Usually it's four dishes plus a soup, but lately it seems like there are six dishes every day?"

The servant continued what he was doing while answering, "This was all instructed by Miss Dingxiang herself. She said that she has recovered well recently and her appetite has improved, so she specially asked us to add two more dishes to each meal."

As he spoke, the servant had already filled the table with food.

Then, the servant said, "Please enjoy your meal, Physician Yue. I'll come back to clean up later!"

Physician Yue nodded and thanked him, saying, "Thank you!"

The servant then withdrew, and Physician Yue, as usual, sat and waited for Dingxiang to arrive.

Suddenly, he remembered that before this, even during mealtimes, Dingxiang would seize every opportunity to ask him all sorts of questions about medical techniques.

But for some reason, she hasn't been eating at the same table with me these past few days!

Even when it comes to medical issues, they rarely ask for advice.

Every day at mealtime, as soon as Dingxiang came over, she would hurriedly set out some food and take it back to her room.

He had asked her, puzzled, why she was always eating alone in her room lately.

But Dingxiang always said that she just wanted more time to learn more medical skills!

"What's wrong with this girl lately?"

All signs indicate that Dingxiang is hiding something from me.

After much thought and many questions, Physician Yue suddenly got up, intending to go and see for himself the secret of her solitary dining.

As soon as Physician Yue left, Dingxiang tiptoed in.

He was overjoyed to see that Physician Yue had not yet arrived.

Then I looked at the table and saw a very rich lunch with chicken and fish laid out on it.

He was immediately overjoyed and quickly picked up a bowl and chopsticks to start dividing the food.

He kept muttering to himself, "Braised pork ribs are a must, we need to have a lot more!"

After Dingxiang left.

With nothing to do, Yi Shangyun turned around and suddenly saw a wild ginseng on the table.

So he got up, picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, "In this season, there are still such fresh wild ginseng?"

Thinking that its medicinal efficacy would be lost if it was not properly stored.

So he quickly looked into the yard and his gaze suddenly locked onto a huge, ancient tree in the corner of the backyard.

Just in case she was seen by someone, she carefully took out a veil and tied it on.

He then pulled out a silk handkerchief from his person, gently transferred the wild ginseng to the handkerchief, and then casually picked up a small iron shovel from the doorway and went out.

Arriving at the corner of the courtyard that we had already identified, a cool and well-ventilated spot under an ancient tree, covered with thick moss.

He bent down and squatted, gently peeling away the layer of moss with the small shovel in his hand.

Then carefully arranged the wild ginseng wrapped in the cloth, laid it under the moss, and finally carefully covered it back with the moss that had been shoveled up.

He laid out the surrounding area before standing up.

Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Why preserve wild ginseng like this? Wouldn't it be better to dry it in the sun or in the shade?"

Yi Shangyun was truly startled by the sound, and her heart pounded wildly.

"It's him?!" The voice was instantly recognizable as that of Physician Yue.

But she was afraid that if she turned around, he would recognize her.

So, with his back to the man, he suppressed his fear and replied, "When choosing a method to preserve ginseng, one should comprehensively consider factors such as processing speed, retention of nutrients, medicinal value, and appearance quality. If the goal is rapid processing and long-term preservation, sun-drying is a good choice; while if the focus is on the comprehensive retention of nutrients and maximization of medicinal effects, air-drying is more suitable."

He paused, then added, "But whether it is sun-dried or shade-dried, fresh ginseng preserves its nutrients more easily than dried ginseng, and its efficacy is also the highest."

Imperial Physician Yue stood a few steps inside the doorway, nodding as if quite satisfied, and then asked, "Then why did you choose to preserve it here?"

Yi Shangyun continued, “Wild ginseng is harvested in autumn, so it’s very rare to see it at this time. To preserve fresh wild ginseng, it needs not only a sufficiently humid environment but also good ventilation. Therefore, placing it in a thick layer of moss is the best way to preserve it, and it can last for at least six months.”

Clearly, he was quite satisfied with all of Yi Shangyun's answers.

So he pressed on, asking, "Where did you learn all this? I remember, but I haven't yet taught you any of it."

Yi Shangyun suddenly became hesitant: "I...I only learned about it from a book these past few days."

Physician Yue was puzzled: "Oh? How come I don't remember any book in my Xinglin Pavilion ever recording these things?"

Yi Shangyun was already extremely nervous and said, "No? Then perhaps I saw it at the Imperial Pharmacy before, but I can't remember clearly."

Sure enough, with just a slight movement from Physician Yue, Yi Shangyun immediately gave himself away.

How could there be any books in the Imperial Pharmacy that he didn't know?

The book that recorded this method was burned long ago when our ancestors perished.

At this moment, Physician Yue suddenly realized that although the person in front of him was wearing a dress made of lilac, the temperament and knowledge he exuded far surpassed that of lilac.

So he boldly questioned Yi Shangyun: "You're not Dingxiang? Who exactly are you?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun's hand trembled slightly as if by instinct.

The silk handkerchief that had just been used to wrap the ginseng, which was being held in her hand, suddenly slipped and fluttered to the ground.

"cloud……"

In an instant, the clear characters embroidered on the silk handkerchief appeared.

How could this word be unfamiliar to Physician Yue?

In an instant, Physician Yue stared in disbelief at the word.

Then, an incredibly incredulous sound escaped his lips: "Could you be...?"

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Dingxiang's delighted voice, which came before he even saw her.

"Your Highness, look! When I went there today, Imperial Physician Yue wasn't there. I brought so many of your favorite dishes! There really is your favorite braised dish..."

Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun turned around in surprise.

Suddenly, another gust of wind swept by, lifting the veil from her face.

At this moment, Physician Yue was completely stunned.

"Your Highness?!"

"you……"

"You're really still alive?!"

This moment.

There were three people in the courtyard.

It was as if time had frozen everything in place, and no one dared to move an inch.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time...

Dingxiang cautiously asked, "Doctor Le, when did you arrive?"

Physician Yue also came to his senses and questioned Dingxiang: "If I hadn't come to the backyard to take a look myself today, how long were you planning to keep this from me?"

Seeing that Physician Yue was already angry, Dingxiang quickly knelt down in front of him with a thud: "Physician Yue, I'm sorry!"

Imperial Physician Yue asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

At this moment, Yi Shangyun spoke up: "Imperial Physician Le, don't blame Dingxiang. All of this is because of me. I'll explain."

Imperial Physician Yue seemed about to say something: "Your Highness..."

But Yi Shangyun deflected her question with, "I am not some princess. I only hope that you will all keep what I am about to say a secret!"

...

After hearing everything Yi Shangyun said, Physician Yue clearly couldn't believe it.

He only knew and saw.

This war god prince, who is arrogant and ruthless in the eyes of the world, only has warmth because of the existence of Yi Shangyun.

But how did things turn out like this?

Are such supernatural and bizarre claims really believable?

At this moment, all he wanted to say was, "Your Highness, do you know how much His Highness cares about you? Although the concubine has entered the palace, His Highness must have some unspeakable difficulties. To this day, in the royal register, the Princess Consort of Qin still only has your name on it."

Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun was moved, but she was also helpless; what could she do?

"As a doctor, I don't know how to explain this to you. I believe that one day you will understand everything."

Just then, several guards stormed into Xinglin Pavilion...
