Chapter 86 What's wrong with me using my own things?
Zhao Wuji looked into Liu Yiyi's eyes.
"Miss Liu, I heard everything you and your father said today. Is this really a good idea?"
Liu Yiyi's voice was low and deep, "There's nothing wrong with it."
"But……"
"Keep your voice down! If you wake up my dad and my senior brother, how am I supposed to steal the medicine?"
Zhao Wuji was holding Liu Yiyi as they stood outside the window on the third floor of the medicine pavilion.
Liu Yiyi urged softly, "Quickly, take me inside!"
Zhao Wuji was speechless. How could he, a dignified Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, be doing thievery every day?
He easily pried open the window lock with a gentle pry.
He pushed open the window and darted inside with Liu Yiyi in a flash.
As soon as Liu Yiyi landed, she took out a tinderbox and lit a small oil lamp.
Then he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
Once the bottle stopper is opened, a small flying insect can be seen flying out.
Zhao Wuji asked curiously, "Miss Liu, what are you doing?"
Holding the oil lamp, Liu Yiyi followed the little flying insect and said, "I smeared some fennel seeds on the Qu Langdan box. These flying insects eat fennel seeds. As long as Qu Langdan is in this room, I can find it by following it!"
Zhao Wuji said with some surprise, "There's such a thing! So, you're going to steal the medicine?"
Liu Yiyi clicked her tongue, "This is my house. How can taking my things be considered stealing? My father only has one daughter, so his things are mine too!"
Zhao Wuji chuckled upon hearing her words, "But from what you said this afternoon, your father intends to pass on the Hundred Herbs Hall to your senior brother, so wouldn't these pills belong to your senior brother?"
“My father only passed the clinic on to him, he didn’t say he would give him all the family property! My father isn’t stupid!”
A small flying insect flew onto a wooden box and hovered there.
Liu Yiyi's face lit up with joy, "Found it!"
She jogged over and opened the wooden box, and sure enough, it contained Qu Langdan.
Zhao Wuji laughed as he watched Liu Yiyi furtively put the item into her sleeve. "Miss Liu, you're quite different from any other lady I've met. I thought you were really going to use marriage to exchange for this elixir."
If she really tried to exchange her marriage for medicine, Qin Jinzhi would probably stab her to death with one sword, and then stab herself to death as well. Neither of them would survive.
Liu Yiyi didn't know how much Qin Jinzhi knew about Zhao Wuji, so she didn't mention the Azure Poison.
"This young lady is destined to become the world's number one divine physician. You want me to get married? No way!"
"But since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers!"
Liu Yiyi glanced at Zhao Wuji, "Lord Zhao, how come you're so young yet still have such an old-fashioned mindset?"
Zhao Wuji touched his nose. "Parents love their children deeply and are strict with them, but it's all for their own good."
Liu Yiyi made a stop gesture. "Qin Jinzhi once told me that any claim that someone is doing it for your own good is a lie. I think she's absolutely right. I know whether it's good or not myself; I don't need someone else to tell me!"
Zhao Wuji found Liu Yiyi's determined look somewhat amusing, "The princess's words are always reasonable."
"She's not here, and she won't hear your flattery. Alright, hurry up and go, or my dad will find out."
Zhao Wuji carried Liu Yiyi and flew away from Baicaotang.
On the way, Liu Yiyi was extremely excited, "Lord Zhao, I owe you this favor. From now on, whether it's going up the mountain or down to the sea, um... never mind, if you get sick, come to me and it'll all be free! I really can't go up the mountain or down to the sea."
Zhao Wuji smiled and said, "Then it's settled. The future number one doctor in the world must charge a lot of fees. It seems I've made a profit. However, I really didn't expect that the renowned folk healer Liu Yuanqing, the doctor, is actually your father. No wonder you come from a family of doctors."
Liu Yiyi said arrogantly, "My medical skills have nothing to do with my father. I learned them all on my own."
Zhao Wuji was somewhat surprised, "Why?"
Liu Yiyi waved her hand, "Sigh, it's the same old story, the same old thing about passing on medical skills to men but not women, and that women can't be doctors. So my father passed on all his medical skills to my senior brother."
Instead of offering comfort, Zhao Wuji said with admiration in his eyes, "Miss Liu, you are truly amazing! You've reached such a level through self-study!"
Liu Yiyi tossed her head and exclaimed, "This is genius!"
Zhao Wuji asked with some concern, "This medicine is so precious, you secretly...sneaked it away, can your father's body withstand it?"
Liu Yiyi said with a look of having expected it, "I secretly took his pulse today. He's as strong as an ox. This little thing won't upset him."
Zhao Wuji nodded with relief, and the two had already arrived outside the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
"Miss Liu, we have arrived at the Prince of Zhenbei's residence. I will be leaving now."
Liu Yiyi bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Zhao! I will repay you handsomely another day!"
She really couldn't have climbed up to that attic without Zhao Wuji!
Zhao Wuji nodded and then vanished in a flash.
Liu Yiyi rushed to Qin Jinzhi's courtyard in a great hurry.
Qin Jinzhi was still awake and was puzzled to see Liu Yiyi arrive so late. "Didn't the people in the manor say you weren't coming back today?"
Liu Yiyi pulled out Qu Langdan like it was a treasure, "Ta-da! Look! What's this?"
Qin Jinzhi asked with amusement, "May I ask, Dr. Liu, what is this?"
Liu Yiyi opened the box. "This is Qulangdan, a sacred medicine that has been lost in the borderlands for a long time. No matter what kind of poison you are poisoned by, as long as you take this pill, you can suppress the poison and prolong your life for three years."
Qin Jinzhi then asked what Liu Yiyi had gone to do in such a hurry today.
Where did it come from?
"My dad's."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't go home until you were the best in the world?"
"It's not that the orchid grass is too hard to find, and it's that your poison is taking effect too quickly. If it weren't for Qulangdan, you would only have two months to live at most."
"Your father just gave it to you like that?"
Liu Yiyi touched her nose. "I said if you give me Qu Langdan, I'll marry my senior brother."
Qin Jinzhi narrowed her eyes, revealing a hint of danger.
Liu Yiyi quickly said, "Of course I lied to him. I asked Lord Zhao to take me to steal it. It's my family's stuff, what's wrong with me using it in advance! You eat this quickly!"
Qin Jinzhi continued to stare at her.
Liu Yiyi solemnly repeated, "It really was me who stole it. You should eat it quickly. If all else fails, you can send some money to Baicaotang tomorrow, as if we bought it."
After hearing this, Qin Jinzhi picked up the Qulangdan and put it in her mouth.
Liu Yiyi said with a grin, "This is worth a house with three courtyards and three entrances, right?"
Qin Jinzhi swallowed the Qu Lang Dan, then raised an eyebrow. "I'll send some silver to Bai Cao Tang tomorrow. Isn't this what I bought myself?"
Liu Yiyi jumped up and down in anger, "You scoundrel! You bad thing!"
However, this Qulangdan truly lives up to its reputation as a secret medicine from beyond the Great Wall.
As soon as Qin Jinzhi ate, she could almost smell a faint, exotic fragrance.
Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and everything went black.
Qin Jinzhi fainted.
