"I think you've really gone mad." Master Lingyin coughed in anger.
Shen Qingning was startled and quickly supported him, "What's wrong, Master?"
Master Lingyin did not speak, but secretly circulated his internal energy to regulate his breathing for a while.
They had escaped countless pursuits along the way, and he inevitably suffered some injuries.
"It's alright, it'll be fine in a bit," he said casually after a short while.
Shen Qingning breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Master Lingyin looked at her and suddenly said, "Qingning, go back to Beidi."
Shen Qingning paused for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't want to go back."
“If you want to marry Gu Linchao, you really have to go back,” Master Lingyin said, frowning.
Shen Qingning remained silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I grew up in Daye and am a Daye person. Bei Di has no connection with me."
"Whatever you want," Master Lingyin sighed, but couldn't help adding, "Your mother was the most beloved daughter of the King of Beidi. Although she fled from Beidi to Daye when she was pregnant with you, the King of Beidi has never given up searching for you all these years."
"If you are willing to return, you will become Princess Beidi. Given the debt King Beidi owes your mother, he will surely help you fulfill your wish."
"Master, let me think about it some more," Shen Qingning said impatiently at the end.
"Alright." Master Lingyin did not press her.
To be honest, he didn't want her to go back to Beidi, but she was too stubborn, and if things continued like this, she might lose her life here.
That's why he wanted to coax her back to Beidi.
Once she went to Beidi, she could no longer easily return to Daye, and she could only give up her feelings for Gu Linchao.
...
After obtaining the prescription, Xu returned to the capital without delay and went directly to the Prince of Xiang's residence.
However, although she was eager to cure Wen Nong Nong's morning sickness, the prescription was obtained from outside sources, and she did not know anything about the doctor. Therefore, she did not dare to give it to Wen Nong Nong rashly.
She handed the prescription directly to Physician Lin, asking him to check if there were any problems with it.
When Physician Lin heard that there was a prescription in the world that could cure morning sickness, he became very interested and took the prescription to study it.
Upon seeing this, Madam Xu first went to see Wen Nong Nong, and then told her about meeting the old doctor at the foot of the mountain near the temple.
Wen Nongnong was deeply surprised after hearing this.
"What a coincidence!"
Madam Xu paused for a moment, "It's not exactly a coincidence. I heard that the old doctor has been setting up his stall there for several days and has cured quite a few patients. Many people have heard about it and have come to ask for his prescription."
I only happened to see it when I went to the temple to offer incense.
Wen Nongnong, however, felt that things were not so simple.
The old doctor reminded her of Shen Qingning and her apprentice.
After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "What does that old doctor look like?"
Mrs. Xu was taken aback for a moment, "He looks very ordinary, and he's a bit hunchbacked..."
Wen Nongnong was taken aback. The Taoist priest Lingyin was not hunchbacked. Although he was old, he was still quite good-looking.
Could it be that she guessed wrong, and this old doctor was not the Taoist Master Lingyin?
"Is there a young woman with that old doctor, about my age, and quite pretty?" she continued to ask.
"No, I didn't see any young woman with him at the time; he was alone." Madam Xu frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything suspicious?"
Wen Nongnong said, "I suspect that this old doctor is very likely the same Lingyin Daoist from before. Shen Qingning chased him all the way to the capital. I'm worried that she still hasn't given up and has come to Xiangzhou."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu's expression changed. "Is it really them?"
Although she had never seen Master Lingyin and his disciples in person, she had heard Nong Nong mention them.
If that old doctor was indeed Lingyin in disguise, then his purpose was most likely to harm Nong Nong.
“I’m not sure either, I just have some doubts,” Wen Nongnong said.
"Regardless of whether it's them or not, that prescription cannot be used," Xu said. She would rather she had been overthinking it, but since it concerned Nong Nong, this matter could not be taken lightly.
"Let's wait for news from Physician Lin. Perhaps I'm overthinking it," Wen Nongnong comforted her.
"Alright," Madam Xu nodded.
The two didn't have to wait long before Physician Lin came over in person with the prescription.
"Doctor Lin, is there a problem with this prescription?" Madam Xu couldn't sit still when she saw him coming over, and quickly got up to ask.
Physician Lin said with a grave expression, "There is a problem, a big problem."
Madam Xu's expression changed. "There really is a problem." At the same time, she was extremely relieved that she had given the prescription to Physician Lin to review first. Otherwise, it would have been terrible if she had rashly prepared the medicine and brewed it for Nong Nong.
Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat.
