The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

"Mr. Ling, why don't you leave?"

The man slowly came back to his senses when Xiao Zhao, the follower beside him, called out. He glanced at the follower. "Let's go. Let's wait until there are fewer people."

He was just about to go to Herb Hall, but he arrived at the wrong time, when Herb Hall's business was at its peak, and there were really too many people.

Just now, when he passed by the young girl, his arm touched her ribbon. It was at that moment that his senses began to pay attention to the surrounding situation. Then he smelled a faint fragrance like orchid. That faint fragrance was exactly what was emanating from the girl just now.

Ling Xingmu subconsciously turned around, glanced at the crowd around him, then turned around and walked into the gate of the Herb Hall with his entourage.

The moment Ling Xingmu entered the room, Princess Ji Ling's ears twitched slightly, she paused, and looked back. Her indifferent eyes shuttled through the crowd, as if she was trying to figure out who was talking just now.

Master Ling? There are very few people with the surname Ling in Zhongyue, but there is a grand Ling family in the North Realm.

and many more…

The Ling Family of the Northern Realm! The third son of the Ling Family, Ling Xingmu?

Princess Ji Ling's eyes moved slightly, and she looked towards the gate of Herb Hall again, but she didn't see anything.

She had met Ling Xingmu at Gao Yang's mansion. At that time, Ling Xingmu suddenly appeared in front of people, thanked Mu Jiu for saving his life, and came forward to testify for Mu Jiu that it was Mu Jiu who went out to save him.

At that time, Uncle Ye and Mu Jiu were discussing matters with their father and the others, and she was squeezed in the back by officials and their families who were watching the fun. From her perspective, except for the moment when she hurriedly saw Ling Xingmu's true face when he introduced himself to the people around him, she could only see Ling Xingmu's back the rest of the time.

Princess Ji Ling met the maid's puzzled look and said softly, "It's nothing, I just saw the Third Young Master Ling. Let's go to the Princess's residence quickly, or she will send someone to urge me over again."

The two maids nodded slightly and followed Princess Ji Ling's steps. One maid asked in a low voice: "Master Ling? Is he the young man who stood with Master Wei Bo when the princess went to the back door of the Herb Hall to look for Princess Ye last time?"

Another maid lowered her voice and said, "It should be. At that time, Princess Ye and the princess went to the Laurel Tower for dinner. Didn't she say on the way that she met Master Wei Bo and Master Ling at the Herb Hall?"

"Oh! Yeah, I almost forgot."

"Okay, stop talking and hurry up and catch up with the princess. The princess chose to walk to the Princess's residence instead of taking the carriage, so we have to protect her on the street."

Princess Ji Ling paused for a moment, then quickened her pace again. She had heard the conversation between the two maids clearly.

Inside the Herb Hall, Jiang Chi had already left the lobby of the Herb Hall.

Shopkeeper Wang had just given Jiang Chi some new healing herbs, and also gave him some memory-recovering medicine Yun Mujiu had reserved for him. Last time, Yun Mujiu had developed some memory-recovering medicine for Jiang Chi, but the effect was not very outstanding.

Jiang Chi didn't feel anything special after taking the medicine. But fortunately, after taking it for a few days, it still had some effect. Jiang Chi said that he could sometimes remember some fragments before being robbed by the robbers, but he couldn't remember anything else after thinking about it.

For this purpose, Yun Mujiu further adjusted the ingredients and dosage of the medicine she made based on the effect of Jiang Chi's medicine.

Jiang Chi received the new medicine and asked Shopkeeper Wang if he needed him to stay in the Herbal Hall to help with some work. He was just an ordinary person now, and with the help of Princess Ye, he hoped to do something useful for Princess Ye within his ability.

Yun Mujiu had thought of this a long time ago, and also told his subordinates that there was no need for Jiang Chi to repay any favors now. In his case, recuperation was the most important thing. In addition, another important thing was to restore his memory. Because Jiang Chi's current identity was just an ordinary businessman, but if he continued to investigate, his identity might bring very different secrets.

In other words, Jiang Chi's second identity has not yet been revealed, and this matter requires a breakthrough. And Jiang Chi's memory is a key factor in solving the mystery.

After Ling Xingmu arrived at the Herb Hall, he saw Manager Wang looking at the account book behind the counter.

Shopkeeper Wang discovered that someone had arrived, and that person was a good friend of the princess, so he quickly invited Ling Xingmu to sit in the back hall.

Ling Xingmu asked why Fu Qian and Qingxiu were not there. Usually when he came to get medicine, it was Fu Qian who gave it to him.

Shopkeeper Wang said that Fu Qian and Qingxiu were now with the princess and were not in the store.

Ling Xingmu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After drinking a few sips of tea, the waiter brought him his bag of nourishing herbs.

After he paid for the medicine, he said something to Shopkeeper Wang.

"I have received my father's reply. He agreed that I can stay in the capital to recuperate temporarily. If Princess Ye comes here, please let her know."

"Mr. Ling, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

Shopkeeper Wang looked at Ling Xingmu's back as he left and drank his tea quietly. What day is it today? First a princess came, then a businessman of extraordinary status, and finally the son of the governor of the Northern Territory. Each of them is extraordinary. Especially Master Jiang and Master Ling, these two masters are not from the capital.

He sighed, "Oh, the two gentlemen came to the Herb Hall one after another. The Herb Hall is really lively."

Ling Xingmu came out of the back hall and heard two female waiters chatting in the corner of the hall.

One of them said thoughtfully, "The shopkeeper said that if it was the princess's friend who came here, we need to take good care of her. There were so many people in the lobby just now, the two of us should have sent Princess Ji Ling out through the back door. The princess is delicate, it would be bad if she got bumped or squeezed."

The other person nodded and continued, "Yes, we were careless for a moment. Fortunately, Princess Ji Ling is kind and not arrogant at all. She walked in the crowded crowd without showing any impatience, nor did she blame us for not hosting her well. The princess is really good-tempered."

Ling Xingmu raised his eyes slightly, and he said that the beautiful figure looked familiar. It turned out to be Princess Ji Ling, whom he had seen from afar in the backyard of Herb Hall last time.

I wonder if Princess Ji Ling has any impression of him?

Ling Xingmu thought about it and shook his head. He rarely interfered in the affairs of the upper circles in Beijing since he came to Beijing, and he did not have much contact with people in Beijing. How could anyone have a certain impression of him?

He threw the medicine bag in his hand to Xiao Zhao and said, "I am really crazy."

Xiao Zhao quickly asked, "Why are you crazy again, young master?"

"I suddenly thought of my reputation in the capital, and whether Princess Ji Ling would have any impression of me, a person from the Northern Territory?"

She is a princess, how could she easily notice a stranger from another place? And what was wrong with him again, why did he notice something related to Princess Ji Ling for no apparent reason?

Xiao Zhao also felt that the young master was a little abnormal, but not to the point of being crazy. He replied: "Young master, you have been busy with work recently and you are just exhausted."

Ling Xingmu just shrugged and said, "I don't have much to do. I just need to find a way to stay in the capital safely. On the one hand, I am busy with that private matter, and on the other hand, I have to make sure that the people in the palace and the court don't notice that I am pretending to be sick and staying in the capital."

As they talked, they walked to the end of a street with less traffic.

Ling Xingmu suddenly stopped, his eyes moved slightly, and he raised his voice - "Xiao Zhao, how about you go and check for Princess Ji Ling's news for me?"
