The female disciple turned around while speaking.

Mei Ji quickly pushed the five tigers back.

The female disciple did not see Wuhu, she only saw Meiji adjusting her clothes.

Seeing them doing such an indecent act in broad daylight, I couldn't help but feel a little more contempt for them.

"Do you remember what I said just now? Don't wander around. There are many masters in the Saint Maiden Palace. They don't know you. Any stranger who breaks into the Saint Maiden Palace will be killed!"

Meiji rolled her eyes in a Mei-style way.

Su Xiaoxiao said politely: "Thank you for the reminder."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was quite sensible, the female disciple's expression eased a little and she took them to the medicine cabinet.

Along the way, they met many female disciples of the Holy Maiden Temple, and also sensed the aura of many masters lurking in the dark.

It seems that the other party did not lie. The Holy Maiden Temple is definitely not a place where one can act rashly.

The medicine pavilion faces south and has two floors. The second floor is where medical books and pills are stored, while the first floor displays countless medicinal materials, which are placed in rows of neatly arranged medicine cabinets.

The climate in southern Xinjiang is humid, and in order to prevent moisture, these medicinal materials need to be taken out to dry frequently.

Today happens to be the day for drying medicinal herbs, and the medicine cabinet is very busy.

The female disciple pointed to the medicine cabinet in the medicine pavilion and said, "I have already informed the elders of the medicine pavilion. Go and pick out the herbs you want. After you have chosen, I will take you to register."

Su Xiaoxiao asked her, "What did the Cheng family tell you?"

The female disciple said sarcastically, "Here comes a quack doctor who thinks he has great medical skills and wants to cure Miss Cheng's madness. Humph, there have been so many doctors like him before that even the Saint Maiden Palace was helpless. He really thinks he is better than the Saint Maiden Palace. Okay, I won't say any more. I'll wait for you over there. Call me when you're done."

She went outside to chat with a familiar female disciple.

Mei Ji curled her lips and said, "What's wrong with this Xie Yunhe? He actually said that we are quack doctors?"

"It would be strange if he is willing to say that we are here to recognize our relatives." Su Xiaoxiao didn't care how Xie Yunhe introduced them. As long as she came to the Holy Maiden Temple, this goal was achieved.

Su Xiaoxiao casually opened a small drawer in the front medicine cabinet, took out the Poria cocos inside and smelled it: "The quality of the medicinal materials is really good."

Meiji brought a dustpan over and asked Su Xiaoxiao to put the selected herbs in it. "Tell me, why is Xie Yunhe so kind all of a sudden? He doesn't believe that you are his granddaughter, but he asked you to come to the Saint Maiden Hall to get medicine... I don't quite understand what he is thinking."

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Maybe he simply wants to heal Miss Cheng?"

Mei Ji snorted, "I always feel that he has bad intentions! In my opinion, he probably guessed that we had other purposes in entering the Saint Maiden Palace, so he wanted us to come to the Saint Maiden Palace to seek death, and use the Saint Maiden Palace to solve our two big problems."

Su Xiaoxiao took another handful of Panax notoginseng: "Your guess is not unreasonable."

Meiji said: "That's right! I am the smart Meiji!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and winked at Mei Ji.

Mei Ji understood and asked in tacit understanding: "Miss, you said... there is no medicinal material you need here?"

"Yes, I came here because I heard that the Saint Maiden Temple has a full range of medicinal materials. I didn't expect that—"

Su Xiaoxiao looked extremely disappointed with the Holy Maiden Palace, which aroused the dissatisfaction of a female disciple from the Medicine Pavilion not far away.

She came over with a basket of herbs to dry in the sun, frowned and said, "There is no herb in the world that cannot be found in the Saint Maiden Palace!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Snowland Gastrodia elata."

The female disciple in the medicine pavilion became speechless.

What a joke! If the Holy Maiden Palace had Snowland Gastrodia elata, they would not have sent people to Tianshan Mountain to pick it. Before it was picked, it was picked up by Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled sincerely: "There is no Snowland Gastrodia elata, then, is there any snake bone flower?"

The female disciple of the Medicine Pavilion who had just been slapped in the face, immediately straightened up and said, "Of course there is, the Saint Maiden Hall is the only place in the world that has snake bone flowers!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked doubtful: "Really? Why didn't I see it?"

The female disciple of the Medicine Pavilion said: "The snake bone flower is in the Saint's bedroom, of course you can't see it!"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: "So that's it."

The female disciple of the Medicine Pavilion said unhappily, "Don't even think about getting the snake bone flower. It only blooms once every few years. The Saint herself doesn't have enough, so she won't give it to you!"

Then we can only rob...

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "I see, I was just curious and asked casually."

The female disciples of the medicine pavilion went outside to dry the medicinal herbs.

Meiji asked quietly: "What should I do?"

Su Xiaoxiao whispered, "Don't worry about the snake bone flower. It hasn't bloomed yet. We can grab it when it blooms. Let's find a way to meet the man hiding in the Saint's Palace today."

"Um."

Meiji nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao likes to act with Meiji.

Because Mei Ji is brave enough, she will go forward when there is danger, and dare to brave mountains of swords and seas of fire. Even though she was injured last night, she did not become overly cautious.

Being cautious is not a bad thing, but sometimes, you need a little fearlessness.

Su Xiaoxiao spent nearly half an hour carefully selecting the medicinal materials. Each medicinal material needed to be registered, so she would not pick them blindly. Even if a pharmacist came to check her medicinal materials, it would definitely be a prescription that could nourish the heart, relieve qi, soothe the liver and relieve depression.

When she had almost finished picking, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly covered her stomach.

Meiji cooperated very well and held her arm and called out, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Her voice was loud enough that the female disciples who were sorting herbs in the medicine cabinet looked over at the two of them.

Su Xiaoxiao looked in pain: "My stomach hurts..."

Meiji looked worried: "Did you have a stomachache this morning?"

Su Xiaoxiao even exuded an infinitely exaggerated acting skill with her fingers. She pinched the medicine cabinet and trembled faintly: "Is there a toilet?"

The female disciple who led the two of them into the Holy Maiden Hall came over. Her surname was Lu, and she was also a chief envoy, but her qualifications were not as good as Chief Envoy Lin, and she was ranked last among the chief envoys.

She asked, "What's wrong?"

Mei Ji said aggrievedly: "My young lady has diarrhea, can you help me find a toilet?"

Envoy Lu frowned in disdain: "Come with me."

She took them both to a nearby outhouse.

"I'll wait for you outside."

"We remember the way, we can get back to the medicine pavilion by ourselves."

Envoy Lu ignored them and walked directly to a big tree thirty steps away, where he waited with a sullen face.

Mei Ji stayed behind to provide cover while Su Xiaoxiao climbed out from the back door of the toilet.

The five tigers flapped their wings and flew high into the sky, leading the way for Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao followed the Five Tigers to a place with a plaque of Cangdian Pavilion.

It is also a two-story attic, and looks no different from a medicine pavilion.

However, this place is much quieter than the medicine pavilion, and there are few disciples.

Su Xiaoxiao was lucky because the disciple guarding the Sutra Collection Pavilion had gone to eat.

She quietly came to the door of the Collection Pavilion.

Thanks to the martial arts skills taught by her sisters-in-law, her movements became much more secretive.

After entering the Collection Pavilion, Wu Hu took her to the end of the corridor.

The Five Tigers were flapping their wings against the wall.

"Behind this?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The Five Tigers nodded.

"Is there a mechanism here?" Su Xiaoxiao felt around and found a groove that looked like a decorative pattern.

"The shape of this groove... looks familiar..."

She opened her purse and took out the third secret bag given to her by the spy chief.

There are three strange little pieces of iron inside.

Boom boom

The stone door was opened.

"So this small piece of iron is the key. How did the spy chief get the key to the Saint's Palace?"

She wasn't curious, she wasn't curious at all about the spy chief.

She retrieved the key and took her and the Five Tigers into the secret room.

The stone door slammed shut behind her.

A gloomy and cold atmosphere enveloped the area.

The climate in southern Xinjiang is warm, and I haven't felt such cold temperatures for a long time.

She glanced around and saw the stone bed in the center of the secret room, illuminated by the night pearls on the ground.

There was indeed a man lying on the stone bed.

He had even and heavy breathing, and even when he was lying there, you could tell he was tall.

Even though he was unconscious, he still had an alluring aura.

The five tigers flew over and jumped all over him, as if they were trying to wake him up by stepping on him.

However, the person under his claws did not react at all.

Su Xiaoxiao came to the stone bed and looked at the cold, sleeping face.

At this moment, there was a clicking sound outside the stone door.

Someone is opening the stone gate!

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the five tigers and hid behind a stone pillar!

With a loud bang, the stone door opened.

Two emissaries walked in with four disciples.

The four of them were carrying a large box.

What is this for...Su Xiaoxiao was confused.

Lin Changshi came to the stone bed, glanced at the unconscious man, poured a pill from the medicine bottle and fed it into the man's mouth.

This time, she didn't wait for the man to swallow it himself. Instead, she slapped him and helped him swallow it.

These are the pills that the five tigers brought back yesterday...Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.

Another emissary beside Lin spoke up: "Are you sure you give him medicine every day?"

Envoy Lin smiled and said, "Envoy Lu, don't worry. I didn't miss a single pill of his medicine."

Envoy Lu said calmly, "It's best if he didn't fall. His injuries need to be treated, and his people need to be controlled. He must not lose control like he did the last time. You have seen how high his martial arts skills are. No one in the Saint Maiden Palace can beat him, and he even hurt the Saint Maiden."

Lost control... the first few times...

So, this man had woken up before, but was not very obedient. Also, because he was too powerful, the masters of the Holy Maiden Palace could not defeat him, so they could only give him medicine.

Those pills were not only used to heal his wounds, but also to control him.

So strong, could it be Wei Xu? In addition, the saint was injured.

This is an important message.

Lin Changshi instructed his disciples, "Alright, carry the man to Qionghua Palace."

Four female disciples stepped forward and worked together to move the person into the box.

Su Xiaoxiao tried hard to see the man's face clearly, but was unfortunately blocked by the disciples who were in the way.

However, she noticed that there was a half circle of faint scar on the man's right hand from the palm to the back of his hand.

This scar has been there for at least ten years and definitely not just in recent years.

"Hey! Are you guys done yet?"

Envoy Lu was getting impatient waiting.

Mei Ji pretended to say, "Miss, are you okay? Are you still in pain? Okay, okay, I won't rush you, I won't rush you!"

She looked outside, "You've never had a stomachache, have you? Why are you rushing me? If you keep rushing me, I won't be polite! We are from the Cheng family after all. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Saint for treating us like this?"

These words successfully hit Lu Changshi's sore spot.

Envoy Lu suppressed his impatience and waited for a moment.

The longer she waited, the more she felt something was wrong.

From beginning to end, there was only the voice of this little maid. Where was that quack doctor?

Lu Changshi secretly thought that something was wrong and walked quickly towards the toilet with a cold face.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?" Mei Ji came out and stopped her.

Envoy Lu shouted sternly: "Get out of the way!"

Meiji gritted her teeth: "I won't dodge!"

Lu Changshi pushed Mei Ji away with his palm, took a few steps forward, and lifted the straw curtain of the toilet.

Su Xiaoxiao fastened her belt and looked at her in confusion: "What... happened?"

Envoy Lu choked and lowered the straw curtain: "It takes so long to go to the toilet!"

She covered her nose with her hands in disgust and walked away without looking back.

Su Xiaoxiao and Mei Ji followed behind her not too close.

"How is it?" Mei Ji asked in a low voice.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Changshi's back and told him about her findings in the Collection Pavilion in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Mei Ji gritted her teeth and said, "The Saint Maiden Palace is so despicable that they actually use drugs to control people? Then, is that person Wei Xu?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I only took a look, I can't tell for sure."

In fact, even if she looked at it a few more times, she might not be able to recognize it, after all, she had never seen Wei Xu.

However, the scar on the other person's hand left a deep impression on her.

Mei Ji said: "This Saint Maiden Palace must have some shameful secrets."

Envoy Lu turned around and said impatiently, "What are you two doing? Hurry up and catch up!"

Meiji stuck out her tongue.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at a large group of beautiful girls not far away and asked tentatively, "Huh? Why are there so many people over there? Judging from their clothes, they don't look like disciples of the Saint Maiden Hall."

Envoy Lu said casually: "What do you, a country doctor, know? Those are here to participate in the imperial selection."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the girls in plain clothes and asked, "It seems there are some women from the common people."

Envoy Lu sneered: "Humph, some people just don't know their own abilities. How can the daughters of the four great families who have spent all their efforts to cultivate be compared with some common women?"

Mei Ji pointed and asked, "Is the one wearing the veil Cheng Qingxue?"

Su Xiaoxiao took a look and nodded: "It's her."

Cheng Qingxue stood together with several daughters of prominent families, the youngest of whom looked only eight or nine years old.

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "How can someone so young be able to run for election?"

"There is no age limit. You can choose even in your mother's womb. Back then..." Envoy Lu said halfway, realizing he had said something wrong, and changed the subject, "Let's go to the medicine pavilion quickly!"

Mei Ji whispered in Su Xiaoxiao's ear: "I heard a rumor in the Cheng family. When Miss Cheng was pregnant, the holy bird of the Saint Maiden Temple landed on her belly. At that time, there were rumors that she was pregnant with the next Saint Maiden. Who knew that in the end her daughter died, and Cheng Lian's daughter became the Saint Maiden. What do you think... could it be that Cheng Lian and her daughter took away the fate of Cheng Sang's daughter?"
