Upon hearing this, Shen Yunjiao was speechless. "I think he's better than you, so he is better than you. Even though you think I'm not a good match for Xiao Huaijin, I will still be with him."
After finishing her sentence in one breath, Shen Yunjiao threw all the Shengmai Drink she was holding to Yelü Qi.
She pointed to the door and said, "That's all I have to say. Goodbye, and I won't see you out."
Upon hearing her reply, Yelü Qi was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
She was truly deeply in love with the Crown Prince of Dayong.
Yelü Qi felt he shouldn't continue this entanglement, but just then, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: Xiao Huaijin had such a big problem, yet she could still be so calm, could it be that...?
"Shen Yunjiao, do you know that the Crown Prince actually—"
Just as Yelü Qi was about to speak, someone entered the storeroom, forcing him to shut his mouth.
"Miss, a medicine man is looking for you outside." After saying this, the shopkeeper secretly glanced at Yelü Qi again.
Based on his intuition, he knew that this young master from the Northern Hu must have fallen for Miss Shen, otherwise why would he have come here to look for her time and time again?
However, he was tall and handsome, and he was a good match for the girl.
I wonder if he'll let the girl go to Beihu with him? What will happen to this clinic then?
While the shopkeeper was still lost in thought, he heard Shen Yunjiao say, "I know, go and greet them first, I'll be right there."
After he left, Shen Yunjiao said to Yelü Qi, "What did you want to say to me just now?"
"It's alright, I know everything I need to know," Yelü Qi said, holding a large bag of Shengmai Yin and smiling brightly at Chen Yunjiao. "I accept your kindness."
It turns out that she already knew the Crown Prince was safe, which is why she firmly chose him.
Thinking about it this way, Yelü Nei felt much better.
"In return, I'll tell you a secret to put your mind at ease."
Yelü Qi leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I will not return to Beihu today; I will stay in Dayong to help you save your beloved Crown Prince."
He deliberately emphasized the last sentence, and Shen Yunjiao blinked, finally understanding.
"Will you help Xiao Huaijin?"
Xiao Huaijin smiled and said, "Of course, on the surface we are enemies, but in reality we are allies. However, in the end it is a relationship where each of us gets what we need. I will say it again: if Xiao Huaijin has hurt your feelings, you are welcome here anytime."
“Shen Yunjiao, you should know that I don’t make promises lightly.”
After greedily inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, Yelü Qi finally straightened up and looked down at her with reluctance.
"I've been eyeing you for a long time, and if I get the chance, I will definitely not let you go."
After saying this, Yelü Qi left gracefully.
Shen Yunjiao felt both angry and amused. What did she mean by "longing for a long time"? Did she think she was a piece of pork?
After watching Yelü Qi get into the carriage and leave, Fu Xia ran into the storeroom and tugged at Shen Yunjiao's sleeve, saying, "Miss, Brother Li is waiting outside. He said he found the Four Seasons Herb!"
How long has it been? Li Ping has already found it?
Shen Yunjiao was overjoyed and immediately lifted her skirt and walked outside, completely forgetting Yelü Qi's nonsense.
"Brother Li."
“Miss Shen, the other day I happened to find this Four Seasons Herb on the top of Mount Wuguniang in Lizhou.” Li Ping said as he took out the small herb wrapped in a damp white cloth from his medicine bag as he saw Shen Yujiao rushing over.
Shen Yunjiao took the Four Seasons Grass and looked at it closely.
It looks somewhat similar to the green bamboo grass, but its fragrance is stronger.
Is this thing really that useful?
Shen Yunjiao plucked a small leaf from the Four Seasons Grass and chewed it in her mouth.
A strange taste spread through her mouth, and a warm current rose through her body, reaching her heart.
Shen Yunjiao gave the herb to Fuxia for safekeeping, and then checked her pulse herself.
Indeed, the pulse had changed, and there seemed to be a surge of vital energy in the heart.
There are such amazing herbs.
Shen Yunjiao was taken aback. Seeing this, Li Ping quickly said, "Miss, this Four Seasons Herb is indeed very effective. My wife was cured of her heart ailment by taking this. If you don't believe me, I can wait until you cure her before I pay you."
Shen Yunjiao shook her head and smiled, "Of course I believe it, but I just wanted to try it myself to see how amazing it is. As soon as I tasted it, I knew that this was a good medicine for protecting the heart meridian."
Upon hearing this, Li Ping breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that Miss Shen trusts me."
Fu Xia hurriedly stuffed a bulging money bag into Li Ping's arms, "Brother Li, this is a small token of my daughter's appreciation, please accept it."
"How can this be? The young lady already gave me money last time." Li Ping wanted to return the money pouch to Fu Xia, but he heard Shen Yun say with a charming smile, "Brother Li, please accept it. We will need to get more medicinal herbs from you in the future."
Li Ping then stopped refusing and gratefully said to Chen Yunjiao, "Miss, if there is this kind of grass again next time, I will continue to help you pick it."
“Okay.” Shen Yunjiao nodded in agreement.
These seasonal herbs have remarkable effects, and it is believed that they can play an even greater role in her hands, saving more patients besides Xiao Huaijin.
Before leaving, Li Ping gave Shen Yunjiao a basket of wild raspberries that he had picked from Mount Wuguniang to taste.
These wild raspberries are all plump and vibrant, like tiny red gems, and look incredibly delicious.
Li Ping probably felt he had charged too much for the medicine, so he insisted on leaving the whole basket of raspberries there. Shen Yunjiao couldn't refuse, so she had to accept them and asked Fu Xia to give Li Ping some Shengmai Yin to take back.
Shen Yunjiao had been busy at the clinic all day. When she returned to the Shen residence, she found that Shen Zhizhang had already returned home and was now enjoying the cool air in the Liuli Hall.
The Liuli Hall is the largest flower hall in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. It has five large rooms, a roof with a curved eave, and a covered corridor connecting to the front, back, left, and right sides, making it very grand and accessible. In winter, charcoal fires are constantly lit here, and in summer, it becomes a good place to cool off.
Shen Zhizhang rarely had such a leisurely moment. After taking a bath, he changed into casual clothes and sat on a wooden chair with a pot of freshly brewed tea beside him.
The leaves rustled, and just as Shen Zhizhang was about to close his eyes and rest for a moment, he saw Shen Yunjiao rushing towards him with a nervous expression.
"Father!"
Shen Zhizhang did some quick calculations and realized that it had indeed been several days since he had seen his daughter.
"Yun Jiao, come over here to your father." Shen Zhizhang greeted Shen Yun Jiao with a smile. Now that the things that needed to be done were almost finished, he naturally had more time to spend with his precious daughter.
Shen Yunjiao did not lean towards him as intimately as usual.
Instead, the person standing in front of him had a serious expression.
Shen Zhizhang sensed something amiss and was about to speak when Shen Yunjiao asked first, "Father, tell me honestly, is the matter of deposing the Crown Prince related to you?"
