Su Wan heard the familiar voice and turned around to look at the person who had come.
The person who arrived was actually Luna.
She asked in confusion, "Is it Brother Lu?"
After a few days apart, Luna's face was filled with an unprecedented air of triumph, as if he had struck it rich.
As soon as Luna saw Su Wan, she excitedly ran over.
He had learned from Bai Zhiyi that Su Wan was the goddess, so after leaving the capital, he rushed to the Northwest General's Mansion to find Su Wan.
The guards of the general's mansion had seen him before and knew that he was a friend of Doctor Su, so they told him that Doctor Su had already left the general's mansion for Linyuan Village.
Luna chased after him to Linyuan Village, and after asking the villagers about Doctor Su, she learned that Doctor Su had gone to Suiyang County again.
He followed closely all the way to Suiyang County. Su Wan arrived almost immediately, but he didn't expect to run into her so soon.
Su Wan asked in surprise, "How did you get here?"
Luna walked closer and was about to habitually raise her hand to put her arm around Su Wan's shoulder when she suddenly remembered that Dr. Su was no longer the little Su she used to be. She quickly withdrew her hand, a look of embarrassment on her face. She scratched her head and said shyly, "Aunt Su... Dr., I... I need your help with something."
I almost revealed Doctor Su's identity. Since Doctor Su allowed Bai Zhiyi to impersonate her, she must not want anyone to know her true identity.
He glanced around and, thankfully, no one nearby noticed them, which secretly relieved him.
Seeing his tense expression, as if he had something important to say, Su Wan asked, "What is it?"
"Let's go somewhere quiet to talk."
Luna rubbed his hands together nervously, pointing to the alley beside the main street, afraid that Su Wan would reject him outright without asking any questions. That was a chance to be ennobled. For him, it wasn't just a chance to turn his life around; it was a chance to leap over the dragon gate, to soar to great heights, and to bring glory to his ancestors.
Seeing his mysterious demeanor, Su Wan followed him into the alley.
“It’s like this,” Luna said in a low voice when no one was around, “The medicine that Doctor Su gave me last time, I gave to the King. The King used it and it worked very well. He specially sent me to invite Doctor Su to see our King.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wan instinctively refused: "No, I won't go."
She was unfamiliar with the Western Rong region, a place where she knew neither people nor locals. Moreover, Wei Jingzhuo's recent frequent military mobilizations must indicate that he intended to launch a major operation against the Western Rong.
If she went there at this time, wouldn't she be going to her death?
The reason I gave Luna the pills last time was simply because she didn't have enough money, so she gave him those pills instead.
This time, she'll just give Luna some more pills; going to Xirong is absolutely out of the question.
Upon hearing Su Wan's refusal, Luna panicked. He chased after her, saying, "Doctor Su, the King specifically sent me to invite you over. You don't need to worry about your personal safety. Didn't I go to the Northwest General's Mansion with you before?"
Su Wan didn't answer. After leaving the alley, she first glanced at the location of the pharmacy and confirmed that it was the shop left by the original owner's mother, which was now being occupied by the Yang couple.
It seems we need to find a day to take the shop back first.
She turned to Luna and said, "Your king's illness will not be a big problem if he takes my medicine for a long time. I won't be of much help even if I go."
She was telling the truth. The Western Rong King's heart ailment could only be temporarily controlled with medication. To cure it completely, surgery might be necessary, but the environment here simply couldn't provide that.
It would be useless for her to go.
Luna didn't believe Su Wan's words. If Su Wan were truly a goddess, she could definitely cure the king's illness. Thinking she simply didn't want to go to Xirong, he pressed on, saying, "Doctor Su, the king sent me here to invite you. If you can cure the king's illness, he will reward you handsomely. The reward is far more than a few dozen cattle and sheep."
Su Wan glanced at him and said, "If you Western Rong were truly generous, you wouldn't be eyeing the Great Jin so covetously."
Moreover, Wei Jingzhuo has been very busy lately, and she could vaguely guess what he was doing; he was probably preparing for the battle against the Western Rong.
The two families will be fighting soon, and she has no intention of going to throw her life away.
As for rewards, no matter how many, you have to live to receive them.
“Luna,” Su Wan turned to look at him and said, “I’m telling the truth, and there’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me. I can sell the medicine to your king, but it’s better not to make me go there in person.”
Seeing that she was determined and really didn't intend to go back to Xirong with him, Luna couldn't help but get a little anxious.
He was afraid that if he failed to complete the task assigned by the king, he would not be able to explain it to the king when he returned.
Undeterred, Luna continued to persuade him, "Doctor Su, if you come with me to see the King, I will give you all the rewards the King has given me."
The best reward the Western Rong people could give to those who had rendered meritorious service was land and cattle and sheep, which he was willing to give to Su Wan.
Su Wan remained unmoved. She led her little donkey over, jumped on it, and walked towards Linyuan Village, saying to Luna, "Luna, do I look like someone who's short of money?"
Luna thought to herself, "You really are short of money, otherwise you wouldn't have offered pills to offset the cost of my cattle and sheep."
However, he only dared to say these words to himself.
Doctor Su's status is different now; she's a goddess. He doesn't want to offend her, so he has to be respectful no matter what.
Seeing Luna's troubled expression, Su Wan kindly said to him, "Luna, go back and tell your king that I can supply medicine here at any time, as long as he has the money to buy it."
This time, she won't give Luna the pills as easily as she did last time.
She caused the Western Rong to bleed profusely.
