After leaving the Black Mist Forest, Yue Xiyuan instructed An Er to keep an eye on Luo Zhi's whereabouts. An Er was quite puzzled as to why his master was investigating a girl of unknown origin. It was truly unprecedented for a young woman to be so curious about a woman. Moreover, the girl wasn't even that pretty. His master was seriously injured in the cave; could that woman have taken advantage of him?
"Ah! Oh no, no wonder Master has been looking for that girl..." An Er's thoughts were racing, and even the expression on his face was quite interesting.
“Master, a few days ago, a girl named Luo Zhi appeared in Qingyun City, but she was wearing a veil and we couldn’t see her face clearly.”
An Er secretly glanced at his master's expression, which was neither angry nor happy. "It's over. This is the prelude to a storm. My master's innocence is gone." An Er thought bitterly.
The report continued, "The Lady of Qingyun City suddenly suffered from chest pain. The best doctor in Qingyun City diagnosed her and said there was nothing that could be done. Miss Luo Zhi stepped out from the crowd and said she had a way to save the Lady of the City. At first, no one believed her, but they had no other choice, so they let Miss Luo Zhi try. To everyone's surprise, Miss Luo Zhi's acupuncture technique was unprecedented. After feeding her some medicine, she woke up within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The Lord of Qingyun City gave Miss Luo Zhi five hundred taels of silver. Before leaving, Miss Luo Zhi also gave the Lord of Qingyun City the whole bottle of medicine. Now, Qingyun City has revered that girl as the Divine Physician Luo Zhi."
"Oh, by the way, when Miss Luo Zhi left, the young master of Qingyun City wanted to take her sightseeing in Qingyun City, but Miss Luo Zhi declined."
After hearing this, Yue Xiyuan's face alternated between furrowing his brows and relaxing, a slight smile appearing on his lips. An Er silently mourned for the girl; of all people to offend, she had to provoke her master.
"Go down." Yue Xiyuan resumed his usual aloof demeanor.
"Young Master of Qingyun City... Hmph, little fox, I look forward to seeing you again in the capital."
From the Black Mist Forest to the capital, Qingyun City is the only way to travel on the main road. Yue Xiyuan guessed that Luo Zhi was probably coming to the capital, so he asked An Er to wait for him in Qingyun City.
An Si is the best in lightness skill among the guards. In the Black Mist Forest, An Si was sent to follow her to see where she was going. Unexpectedly, she disappeared as soon as she came out of the cave. An Si was even found, and she was probably even better than herself. There are very few people in the world with such lightness skill. Perhaps only Venerable Bai Qing can do it. Fourteen years ago, Venerable Bai Qing took General Yan's daughter as his disciple and promised to send her back a month before her coming-of-age ceremony. There are still five months until the coming-of-age ceremony. It is not impossible for her to return home early.
"Luo Zhi..." Is it a coincidence that General Yan's wife is named Luo...?
In the Black Mist Forest, the little fox clearly recognized his identity. Thinking this, Yue Xiyuan became increasingly convinced that this little fox was very likely his unseen fiancée.
Yan An, who was preparing to enter the city at that moment, was unaware that his disguise was already becoming increasingly apparent.
Yan An, who had just entered the city from the south, couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur of the capital. Towering pavilions and high-rise buildings filled the city, with brothels and painted pavilions everywhere, embroidered doors and beaded curtains, markets lined with jewels, and every household overflowing with silk and brocade, all vying for extravagance.
The general's mansion was in the west of the city. Yan An felt that leading the horse was too ostentatious, so he sold the horse to the stables in the south of the city and walked into the capital.
The southern part of the capital was mostly bustling city, prioritizing eating, drinking, and entertainment, and boasted lush scenery; the northern part was the political center, where all the major and minor ministries of the capital, such as the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Rites, were located.
Heading north, passing through the South Market, and then west, you'll reach the General's Mansion.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" On the main street of Nanshi, Qi Hongchen was carrying a girl who was about the same age as Yan An. The pain in his abdomen made his face turn pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was also feeling nauseous and vomiting.
Just then, they ran into Su Jingzhan, who was on his way to Jirentang to get some medicinal herbs. Jirentang was owned by Yue Xiyuan. Yue Xiyuan opened the pharmacy so that Su Jingzhan could study medicine more easily. It was run by a professional doctor, and Su Jingzhan usually didn't come here.
Upon returning, Yue Xiyuan gave Su Jingzhan one of the antidote pills Yan An had given him. On the way, Yue Xiyuan was attacked again. An Yi took a knife for the injured Yue Xiyuan. Coincidentally, the knife was poisoned. Yue Xiyuan fed An Yi one of the antidote pills.
There are still two pills left. Su Jingzhan thought it was wonderful when he smelled the pills. He thought that Yue Xiyuan must have met a divine doctor. He immediately went to Jirentang to prepare some medicinal materials to study the antidote pill.
"Jingzhan, Jingzhan, come and see what's wrong with my sister! She's been having terrible stomach pains ever since she had breakfast."
"Hurry up and go in!" Su Jingzhan led Qi Hongchen into Jirentang carrying his younger sister Qi Yanyan, and Qi Hongchen placed Qi Yanyan on the hospital bed.
Su Jingzhan immediately took Qi Yanyan's pulse to examine her, "It's an intestinal abscess... I'll go and prepare the medicine right away."
The decoction for intestinal abscess was quickly prepared, and after it cooled slightly, Qi Hongchen fed it to Qi Yanyan.
Qi Hongchen gently helped Qi Yanyan lie down on the bed, but Qi Yanyan turned around and vomited up all her medicine and breakfast. Her already pale face turned even paler, and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
“It’s no use, what should we do, Jingzhan? Even if it’s an intestinal abscess, ordinary doctors can’t do anything about it, but you must have a way, right?” Qi Hongchen held Su Jingzhan, waiting for his response.
“Intestinal abscess is already… Miss Seven can no longer drink any medicine, and I am powerless to help her, Hongchen.”
A crowd of passersby gathered outside, all sighing, "The Prime Minister Qi's daughter always sets up sheds and distributes porridge during festivals. She's beautiful and kind-hearted, how could she get appendicitis at such a young age..."
"Yes, yes, my purse was stolen by thieves before, but Miss Qi ordered the guards to retrieve it. That was my family's food rations for a month."
As Yan An passed by Ji Rentang, he overheard the people at the entrance talking about it. "It seems that Prime Minister Qi's daughter is of good character. My father once mentioned to me that Prime Minister Qi and he have been friends for many years. Prime Minister Qi's wife also gave birth to a daughter three months after I was born. If they meet in the future, they will surely find common ground."
