Funing Chengnan Street.
In the hazy night, a tall man in night clothes was walking through the alleys. His pace was so fast that it was enough to confuse the ordinary people and blend into the night.
South Street is the quietest and most chaotic street in Funing City. It is mostly filled with dilapidated houses and is the "base" for gangs of thugs and robbers.
The man in the nightgown walked to a two-story building. There were many spider webs on the door on the first floor, and there were even weeds on the roof.
There was no clean place in the house, rats and cockroaches were rampant.
The man in night clothes walked quickly into the house, turned on the wall lamp, and a passage was opened in the corner of the floor.
The man in night clothes hurried downstairs, and after his figure disappeared from the passage, the door on the ground was closed.
The room returned to its original lifeless state.
Who would have thought that there would be a basement in a dilapidated building, and the basement was brightly lit, with a wall lamp every three steps, which showed that people often came here.
The man in the nightgown always wore a veil, leaving only his eyes exposed.
The further we walked inside, the clearer the sound of sobbing could be heard from inside.
The person who was crying was huddled in a corner, his eyes covered by a black scarf, and his hands and feet tied tightly with hemp ropes.
Hearing someone approaching, she instinctively shrank back further, but she was already against the wall and had no escape.
"Don't come over here. I tell you, if you dare to do anything to me, my royal grandmother and royal brother will not let you go!" The girl with her hands and feet tied, Princess Helan Minzhi who was kidnapped a few days ago, threatened in a trembling voice.
"Snap."
The man in nightgown took out a roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves from his arms and threw it in front of Helan Minzhi.
She smelled the fragrance and instinctively groped her way up to look for food, but the unknown and fear of the man in front of her made her dare not be too presumptuous and she hesitated.
The man in night clothes suddenly approached and pulled off the scarf from her eyes. The sudden brightness made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Eat it."
Helan Minzhi hadn't eaten for two days, and even water was given by him based on his mood. Today, he suddenly gave her a roast chicken, and she was so happy!
Without caring about her princess image, she simply peeled off the lotus leaves and started to bite them, making her hands, face and clothes greasy and dirty.
The man in the nightgown said nothing and watched her eat with relish.
After finishing a roast chicken, he threw the handkerchief back to Helan Minzhi and asked her to put it on herself.
He would only take off the thing blocking his eyes when he was eating. Helan Min curled her lips silently.
But she still wore the scarf obediently. Who knew he would kill her the next second? Although her royal brother and royal grandmother were powerful, she was in the hands of the criminals now, so she had to be timid.
After delivering the food to Helan Minzhi, the man in the nightgown did not leave immediately, but sat on the square table beside him like a giant Buddha.
After eating and drinking his fill, Helan Minzhi became bolder and started talking to the man in the nightgown.
"Hey, big brother, you've been arresting me for so many days, and I haven't seen you run into anyone. You don't seem to be robbing people, so you must be an enemy. Which organization are you from?"
The man in the nightgown frowned and said, "No comment."
Helan Minzhi pursed her lips and thought, "Tsk, what's so great about that?"
"So when are you going to let me go?"
The man in the nightgown said coldly, "Why should I tell you?"
"and you……"
“Duang——”
The man in the nightgown knocked Helan Minzhi unconscious and said, "You talk too much."
He returned to his seat, closed his eyes and rested, holding a sword in his hand.
——
The next day, in the Queen's bedroom.
"Grandma, what do you think?" Helan Ruizhe helped the Queen Mother who was lying on the bed and let her half sit on the bed.
"Much better. I feel like my breathing is smoother and a lot of the dirty air in my body has disappeared." The Queen Mother smiled.
It seems that Mo Ninghai's medicine is really effective. It worked the next day after taking it.
"That's good."
"What I am most concerned about now is Minzhi. Is there any news about her?" The Queen Mother was still concerned about her granddaughter.
"It has now been confirmed that he is from Mu Han Pavilion, and Minzhi is still in Funing City." Helan Ruizhe said truthfully.
The Queen Mother's brows were filled with worry. "Mu Hange is cruel and ruthless. I'm afraid of what they will do to Minzhi."
Helan Ruizhi thought for a moment and said, "They kidnapped Minzhi to threaten my Helan family. They don't have the guts to touch Minzhi. I checked on them a few days ago, and they found out. That's why they kidnapped Minzhi out of desperation."
The Queen Mother sighed softly and stroked the back of Helan Ruizhe's hand. "This is not your fault. The Helan family and Mu Han Pavilion have been feuding for decades. Even if you didn't take action, they would have hurt my Helan family sooner or later. It's all a matter of time. It's not your fault..."
At this time, Yuan Jing rushed over from outside, "Prince, Mrs. Mo requests to see you."
Helan Ruizhe narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if he had just come up with this idea and was here to take credit for it?
"Let him in."
"yes."
Imperial Physician Mo bowed, saluted the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince one by one, and presented a list with a beaming smile. "After three days of research, integrating the medical heritage of three generations of the Mo family, I have finally come up with a solution! Your Highness, please review it."
Helan Ruizhe glanced over the list. It was exactly the same as the one Mo Ninghai presented yesterday.
He scoffed, "Someone has already given me this prescription. Yours is no longer useful."
Mo Ningyang was filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? This is the prescription recorded in the secret medical manual passed down by my Mo family ancestors for three generations. How could it be..."
"Are you questioning this prince?" Helan Ruizhe showed a dangerous look.
Mo Ningyang immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "I dare not, I dare not, please forgive me, Your Highness..."
"Yuan Jing, send Imperial Physician Mo out." Helan Ruizhe casually threw the prescription in his hand. "Also, call Divine Physician Mo over and tell him that the prince has a generous reward."
"yes."
Mo Ningyang followed Yuan Jing out of the Empress's bedroom in a daze, muttering to himself, "Impossible! How could an outsider know the secrets of the ancestral medical skills?" The Crown Prince said the miracle doctor's surname was also Mo. Could it be him...
The more Mo Ningyang thought about it, the more scared he became. If he came back and caught the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he would become the Queen Mother.
Then what face does he have in the Imperial Hospital, in Funing City and even in the entire Fuding Kingdom?
Mo Ningyang, the palace's top imperial warrior, was defeated by a quack doctor. And this was the very person he wanted to destroy day and night.
In order to confirm whether it was that person, he secretly hid at the foot of the wall after Yuan Jing left, intending to see the true face of the miraculous doctor.
A middle-aged man in a gray robe and a gray beard - Mo Ninghai appeared outside the Queen's bedroom. Because he was far away, Mo Ningyang opened his eyes wide and strained to see him.
