Chapter 244 How did you figure it out?
As soon as Shen Jiaqing finished speaking, the group of people were all startled.
The most puzzled people are Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yunyang. They do have a last resort, but they haven't used it yet.
How did the divine physician Shen know they were members of the royal family?
Hiding behind Xie Yunchuan, Sheng Sheng observed everyone's expressions and finally figured out what was going on.
What does that mean? Doctor Shen already knew, so he wasn't angry?
Sheng Sheng poked his head out and asked, "What does this mean?"
Shen Jiaqing smiled helplessly: "Although your two older brothers are trying to restrain their behavior, some things cannot be suppressed by mere restraint. I can still see through those royal etiquette rules."
After saying that, Shen Jiaqing turned to Xie Yunchuan and the other man and said, "The two gentlemen have extraordinary bearing, and there are a few small details that you may not have noticed yourself. These are etiquettes that only members of the royal family pay attention to."
A hint of surprise and annoyance flashed in Xie Yunchuan's eyes. He frowned and silently warned himself to be more careful in the future.
Xie Yun-yang said with some admiration, "I didn't expect it to be for this reason. May I ask, how did Physician Shen manage to perceive the royal etiquette?"
They had never heard of any connection between Shen Jiaqing and the royal family, so how could he be so familiar with royal etiquette?
"Oh, you should know, right? The head of the Imperial Medical Academy of Jin is my senior brother."
They certainly knew this. His senior brother worked in the Jin Kingdom's palace, so it seemed quite reasonable for him, as the junior brother, to know something about it.
Now that his identity has been revealed, Xie Yunchuan naturally needs to explain why he concealed it.
Coming here concealing one's identity is indeed somewhat impolite.
"Please don't misunderstand, we didn't mean to hide our identities."
Xie Yunchuan was about to explain in detail when Shen Jiaqing waved her hand and said, "I know, no need to explain."
Shen Jiaqing got up, walked to the corner, took out a bundle, and rummaged through it for a while before pulling out a thin notebook.
"Actually, I already knew your true identities. I didn't expose you just to see what you were up to." Shen Jiaqing handed the thin notebook to Shengsheng. Shengsheng took it with a blank expression, which amused Shen Jiaqing.
“I like Shengsheng. If you have time to come to Jin, remember to bring Shengsheng with you.”
After saying that, Shen Jiaqing turned her back and started fiddling with the row of herbs planted in flowerpots by the window.
Sheng Sheng looked down at the notebook in her hand, then looked up at Xie Yunchuan: "Brother?"
Xie Yunchuan opened the notebook and his pupils dilated in shock.
This notebook actually contains the cultivation method for Rejuvenating Grass!
"This!" Xie Yunchuan's expression turned solemn. "Divine Physician Shen, what does this mean?"
Shen Jiaqing didn't even turn his head. Not long ago, he had been emphasizing his youth, but now he was deliberately acting like a mature old man. He had one hand behind his back, while the other was fiddling with flowers. He even lowered his voice and said, shaking his head,
"Oh, this book contains the cultivation method for the Rejuvenating Herb, but the conditions are quite demanding and require some effort. Actually, you came to Haijin a few days ago, didn't you? At that time, I just thought you were one of the other wealthy and powerful people seeking medical treatment. I didn't expect you to come again a few days later, and even brought an invitation. To be honest, quite a few people have sent me invitations, but I didn't agree to meet you because I saw your sincerity in the invitations. I really just wanted to get the Rejuvenating Herb back. After all, you must know as well as I do how precious the Rejuvenating Herb is."
While Shen Jiaqing was explaining calmly, Sheng Sheng, upon hearing that the book contained the cultivation method for Rejuvenating Grass, immediately snatched the book back from Xie Yunchuan and began diligently memorizing what was written in it.
Never mind all that nonsense, she'll just quietly write down the important things first.
As long as she memorizes it quickly enough and memorizes all the contents, it doesn't matter if the notebook is taken back!
With high spirits, Sheng Sheng turned to the first page of the notebook, only to suddenly realize—the handwriting was so small, and it covered the entire page like ants crawling all over it, from the first line to the last.
Sheng Sheng paused for a moment, then flipped through a few more pages until she reached the last page, where she was completely dumbfounded.
No, this notebook looks thin with only a few pages, but how come there are at least a thousand words written on each page!
How is she supposed to memorize this...? QAQ
With a tearful sigh, she closed the notebook and silently shoved it back into Xie Yunchuan's hand.
Shen Jiaqing continued speaking eloquently: "I just didn't expect your true identities to be members of the royal family, so I became somewhat interested to see what you were planning. Don't blame me for being blunt, but as you know, in many countries, the public's opinion of the royal family isn't very good. But strangely, I didn't feel that way about you; instead, I sensed your sincerity. That's why I hesitated a bit and didn't retrieve the Rejuvenating Grass immediately. I wanted to see how you would handle it if it remained in your hands."
It was quite a coincidence, though; I ran into these two little kids while buying fried chicken frames. I guess it's fate. I really like Sheng Sheng, and this booklet is my little gift to her.
"Ah?" Although Sheng Sheng really wanted it, she was still very rational. "This is too precious. This is the cultivation method of Rejuvenating Grass. This is a unique secret recipe that has not been circulated in the martial arts world. It must be the result of your hard work, Uncle Shen. Sheng Sheng can't accept it."
Shen Jiaqing turned around and shook his head: "This was actually something my master and I researched together, and it was also the last thing my master did before he passed away."
The last masterpiece of Dr. Shen, the master of the divine physician.
"Those sounds are even more unacceptable..."
Shen Jiaqing interrupted her: "No, that's precisely why I should give it to you."
"ah?"
Seeing Shen Jiaqing's puzzlement, Shen Jiaqing smiled and said, "The Rejuvenating Grass is rare and precious, but its medicinal effects are truly miraculous. I thought so too before. It was the last thing my master left behind before he passed away, and I always wanted to protect it. But in the past few years, as I've traveled the world, I've increasingly felt that there are still many people in this world who need medicine like the Rejuvenating Grass. The Rejuvenating Grass is so rare because its growing conditions are extremely demanding. My master and I finally figured out how to cultivate it artificially, just so that it could exist like other common herbs."
But why was it given to Shengsheng?
This is too precious; Sheng Sheng was somewhat flattered.
