Although I don't know why Honghong ran away, Ye Qingwan didn't take it to heart. It's better for her to leave. Otherwise, if I hear him scolding me in his heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but break his neck.

It can be seen that mind reading is sometimes not a good thing.

System: You got an advantage and you still act like a good kid?!

The mind-reading function can only last for one minute after one redemption. So when Ye Qingwan walked out, the mind-reading function had disappeared.

Then, Honghong was already waiting at the door stealthily.

Why is he always sneaking around? Is it a side effect of being a flower thief?

In fact, Honghong was just afraid that her mind-reading ability had not disappeared, so she tentatively cursed her in her heart: Ye Qingwan, I am your father.

Then, seeing that she had no reaction at all, he straightened his back immediately.

Oh my, how pitiful! A flower thief who has been in the love field for more than 20 years is now scared by a little girl and dares not go home.

"What are we going to do now?"

"Go buy quinine at a high price."

"Quinine" Honghong frowned: "Why are so many people buying quinine? What is quinine?"

"Quinine is a medicinal herb that is a specific medicine for treating malaria."

Honghong nodded, not quite understanding. There was no malaria now, so why would they buy it? But she didn't ask any more questions. She had plenty of money anyway: "Then how much do we charge for the purchase?"

"One penny." Ye Qingwan thought about it. In the plot, Xia Xuejian bought it for three pennies. We can't pay more than her. Otherwise, how can the heroine have the chance to slap her, the vicious female supporting role?

"Only one penny? Xia Xue paid three pennies to that concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official. How can you possibly get more than her when you are so stingy?" Honghong thought to herself, I'll kill you for being so stingy.

"Bah, she is just a little concubine and she is worthy of competing with me?

Don't you see what she is? Don't ever mention the word Xia in front of me again. If you deny it, I will give you to Meng Tao."

Ye Qingwan said she was angry, but she was actually very happy inside.

Honghong is really a dedicated male protagonist. He always remembers to create opportunities for the female protagonist to slap me, the vicious female supporting role, in the face.

I just like such a dedicated male protagonist. If the Ninth Prince could be half as worry-free as him, Xia Xuejian would have been in his cup long ago.

Oh, let’s not talk about him anymore, this useless guy.

Xia Xuejian had already started buying quinine in large quantities because she had just learned from the man in black in the prime minister's residence that floods would occur in Jiangnan at this time every year.

In addition to the large-scale disaster affecting the people, it is also easy to contract an infectious disease.

In previous years, the imperial court could only allocate funds for disaster relief, but there was no effective way to deal with this kind of infectious disease.

The man in black gave her a prescription specifically for treating this disease, and the most important ingredient was quinine.

After she got the prescription, she immediately started purchasing it in large quantities.

When floods occur in the south of the Yangtze River and malaria breaks out, she can send this prescription together with the quinine she purchased to the Ninth Prince.

In this way, the Ninth Prince has accomplished a great deed and will gain more trust from His Majesty. He will also be able to quickly establish his prestige in the court and win over more court officials.

And she could also take this opportunity to explain the misunderstanding from last time.

These days, Youwei has become her right-hand man, busying himself with arranging the acquisition.

Xia Xuejian was a concubine's daughter, and her monthly salary was not much. Fortunately, she had received a lot of rewards and favors from the prince over the years, and before she left, the prince gave her a sum of money to settle down.

This time he taught her everything he knew, which helped her a lot.

"Miss, I heard that Ye Qingwan was also purchasing quinine. Could it be that she also got the prescription?" Youwei was a little worried.

But Xia Xuejian scoffed, "Impossible, the person who gave me the prescription said that this prescription came from a genius doctor who is known as Hua Tuo. No one else in the world has this prescription except us."

This Ye Qingwan must have heard that she was buying. So she deliberately went against her, not knowing the importance of things.

"How much did she pay for it?" Even so, Xia Xuejian was still a little worried. They didn't have much money. If Ye Qingwan really wanted to rob it, they definitely didn't have the financial resources to fight her.

"One cent."

"Puchi." Xia Xue laughed out loud when she heard that Ye Qingwan only paid one penny: "Hahaha, just one penny? I thought she, Ye Qingwan, had a huge fortune, but I didn't expect she was just a loser."

Xia Xuejian now looks down upon Ye Qingwan more and more. She is the daughter of a prime minister, but she is so reluctant to spend her money.

Just like this, you are qualified to fight her?

After instructing Youwei to continue the purchase, she left on her own and came to the place where she had agreed to meet the man in black.

"I see that you have been badly bullied by that little girl Ye Qingwan recently, and she has even schemed against you to make the Ninth Prince misunderstand you?"

Xia Xuejian felt very uncomfortable: "Are you saying this on purpose?"

"I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Xia Xuejian was very suspicious. This person had an unknown origin, but he helped her without asking for anything in return. What was his purpose?

The man in black didn't notice her suspicion at all and continued, "In a few days, Hua Tuo will pass by the capital. If you want your prescription to be recognized, you may need his help."

"Can you let Sai Huatuo help me?" Xia Xuejian was shocked. Sai Huatuo's medical skills were not only famous among Dayu, but also highly praised by the people and kings of neighboring countries.

The three monarchs of this dynasty sent ministers to his residence countless times to invite him to come out of seclusion and be appointed as the imperial physician. But he always declined. Even when the current emperor was seriously ill and wanted to invite him to come out of seclusion to treat him, he didn't want to come, so he didn't come.

If it is a character, how can the man in black be invited?

She wants him to help her?

"Are you trying to please me?"

The man in black disagreed: "If I want to have fun, I'll go to Yihong Courtyard. The women there are much more interesting than you."

Xia Xuejian choked for a moment, but then she was overjoyed.

If he could get help from someone as skilled as Hua Tuo, no one, not to mention Ye Qingwan, even the entire Dayu, would dare to interfere.

God is really helping me, Ye Qingwan. You have done too many evil things and now even God is against you.

"When will the old gentleman arrive?"

"Just these few days."

She came at the right time, as she had almost finished purchasing quinine.

"How do you want me to thank you?" Xia Xuejian was not stupid. He knew that one should not accept rewards without doing anything. The man in black must have some ulterior motive in helping him.

The man in black immediately looked at her with malicious eyes, which made her feel very uncomfortable and she even secretly tightened her clothes.

This made him laugh out loud: "Miss Xia, you're overthinking it. I don't like your type."

Xia Xuejian frowned. My size? Which size am I?

Section 42

But the man in black didn't answer him, and turned away, which made her stamp her feet in anger. Sure enough, those who could hang out with Zhongyuan Yidianhong were not good people, but playboys.

Within two days, Liu Sheng suddenly received an imperial decree from His Majesty, saying that Mr. Sai Huatuo would be arriving in Beijing soon, and asked him to go as an envoy to greet him.

Liu Sheng was still very confused. Mr. Sai Huatuo had not left the mountain gate for decades, right? Why did he suddenly come to Beijing?

Could it be...Xia Xuejian? !
