She gathers herbs in the morning, practices and studies in the afternoon, and reviews medical skills in the evening. Because An Yuan'er started learning later than other apprentice pharmacists, she has to put in more effort than the average person.
At first, Lan Jingtang also thought that the little girl might not be able to persevere halfway through.
But as it turns out, An Yuan'er's determination to study medicine was exceptionally strong.
More than a year has passed since she started studying medicine, but the girl has never slacked off or been lazy for a single day.
After learning about Lan Jingtang's blood transfusion for Yi Chenli, An Yuan'er treated him even better, picking the most nourishing herbs every day and brewing them for Lan Jingtang to drink.
Within a month, Lan Jingtang's injuries had mostly healed, and he had even gained a lot of weight.
Sanqi initially disliked An Yuan'er, but after seeing the changes in her master, she gradually accepted An Yuan'er's presence here. In fact, during their time together, Sanqi took great care of An Yuan'er.
During breaks, An Yuan'er would chat and enjoy tea with Lan Jingtang.
Since starting her medical studies, An Yuan'er has ditched her elaborate dresses and donned a simple linen outfit, tying her long black hair into a neat bun—simple and elegant. Although lacking glamorous adornments, the girl's natural beauty remained undiminished.
Lan Jingtang teased, "Yuan'er, back in Chenyang Palace, you always dressed the best, and you would only wear the latest trendy clothes. But now that you're here, I rarely see you dressed up. Yuan'er, I'm not poor, and I can afford beautiful clothes."
Seeing the girl spending all her time in her pharmacy, with her best moments spent with medicine, Lan Jingtang felt a pang of sympathy.
She should have been a woman showered with love and affection throughout her life, but after he left, she was too cruel to herself.
An Yuan'er shook her head: "The book says that beautiful and exquisite makeup, gorgeous clothes, and a woman's delicate face should be adorned for the man she loves. But I don't need that anymore."
What difference does it make what you wear if your loved one isn't here?
Lan Jingtang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after hearing this. However, he didn't show it on his face: "I ran into Lord An a while ago. Lord An said that more and more people are coming to the An residence to propose marriage, and he asked me to ask you what you think, to see if you would be willing to meet them. Gu Chuzhi from the Prime Minister's residence is a young and talented man who has just returned from his travels. He seems quite sincere and has visited the An residence several times. He is not in a hurry to meet you and is very patient. Lord An seems to have a good impression of him."
Upon hearing the name Gu Chuzhi, An Yuan'er's hand holding the teacup trembled involuntarily.
Gu Chuzhi was the man An Yuan'er married in her previous life. She was infatuated with him and insisted on marrying him against her family's wishes. But what happened? Gu Chuzhi and An Piao'er had been secretly conspiring together.
An Yuan'er's marriage in her previous life was a joke.
Hearing Gu Chuzhi's name again, An Yuan'er couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, in her previous life, she was the one who eagerly wanted to marry Gu Chuzhi; there was never any instance of Gu Chuzhi taking the initiative to propose to her. He came to the An family to propose? Some things were just not what An Yuan'er had imagined.
Where exactly did the problem lie? An Yuan'er didn't know for a moment.
Considering that Yi Chenxuan used a poisoned arrow to injure Yi Chenli, knowing Yi Chenli's weakness, these are things that Yi Chenxuan couldn't have done on his own.
Could it be related to Gu Chuzhi?
Seeing An Yuan'er in a daze, Lan Jingtang asked, "Gu Chuzhi? You like him?"
