The Regent Princess has run away again

He sat on the stool beside the table and rested for a while, then looked at the sachet lying quietly on the plate. He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then reached out and took it.

He untied the knot on the sachet, poured all the herbs inside onto the plate and looked at them carefully.

"Polygala tenuifolia and Agarwood are indeed medicinal herbs that can help with sleep and calm the nerves. There's no problem with that. What on earth does he want to do?" Xue Zhiyu muttered thoughtfully as she looked at the medicinal herbs on the plate.

Although she majored in traditional Chinese medicine, this incident really went beyond the scope of her studies.

It seems that I can only ask 007. Xue Zhiyu sighed and opened the space bracelet. It was still the familiar place, but this time Xue Zhiyu called out a few times before 007 came out.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

"I feel a little strange, can you help me figure out what's going on?"

007 thought she was joking at first, but when he saw her serious expression, he gradually became serious too. He looked her up and down and frowned, "You've been hit by a spell, but it may be too shallow. I can't tell which one it is."

Xue Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then asked anxiously, "Is there any way?"

007 shook his head, thought for a moment and then said, "There is someone who may be able to help you."

"Who?"

"The number one genius doctor, Muti."

Upon hearing the name, Xue Zhiyu's original expectations collapsed. She didn't know where to find such a person, not to mention that she was unfamiliar with the place. Isn't it equivalent to telling her that she was hopeless?

"You don't have to be so depressed. I can't tell you too much, but you won't die anyway."

Xue Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him and said with a forced smile, "Haha, should I be happy? At least I'm still alive."

007 couldn't help scratching his head at her change. He really couldn't understand human thoughts. Isn't it a good thing that she won't die?

In the end, after trying every possible method to get no information out of her, Xue Zhiyu had no choice but to leave the space.

He put the herbs on the plate back into the sachet and hung it on the bedside. Then he shouted to the door, "Xiao Qiu, get ready. We will go to thank the young master later."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xue Zhiyu straightened her clothes before opening the door and walking out.

......

In Muchenxuan's study.

Xue Zihan stood with his hands behind his back, listening to the attendant's report without saying anything.

The servant who came to report did not dare to leave on his own. He glanced at the woman standing aside and gave her a pleading look.

The woman could only sigh and wave her hand, and the servant quickly retreated as if relieved.

After the servant left, the woman's eyes were full of complexity. She clenched her fists in her sleeves and walked over and whispered, "Master, why do you have to target Miss Xue so much? She..."

"She is one of a kind. I will not allow other men to defile her. She is mine."

Xue Zihan looked at the clay sculpture in his hand and rubbed its cheek with his fingertips lightly. If he hadn't heard what he just said, he would have been an elegant gentleman.

"But....."

"You'er, you've crossed the line."

"You'er has crossed the line. I'm sorry, master." The woman bit her lower lip and took a few steps back with a little grievance.

Just when she thought she should leave, Xue Zihan turned around and pinched her chin fiercely, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "If you didn't look a bit like her, do you think you could stay with me? Don't be so self-righteous, my silly You'er, you are just her substitute."

Having said that, Xue Zihan raised his head, looked at the face in front of him, ignored the fear and unwillingness in her eyes, pressed her head and kissed her.

Just when the woman was about to become addicted to it, Xue Zihan pushed her to the ground. Seeing the man's face suddenly turn gloomy, she began to panic.

"Master, I......"

"roll!"

“.....Yes,” the woman stood up with the support of her bruised arm, lowered her head and ran out quickly.

Xue Zihan frowned, turned around and walked to the window chair and sat down. He lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows. He seemed to have noticed something and said without raising his head, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Master, the third young lady is here. She said she wanted to thank you for taking care of her."

"Well, I understand, let's go down."

After Xue Zihan finished speaking, he glanced at the clay sculpture on the desk with a hint of amusement in his eyes. Interesting, this good sister almost never wants to come over usually, but it seems that today will be quite interesting.

........

"I'm really sorry that I came to visit you without knowing whether the young master is free today."

Looking at the person in front of him, Xue Zihan was still amazed. He quickly regained his smiling face and walked forward and said, "Look at what you said. We are a family. Why should we be so polite? How is Sister Zhiyu these days?"

"Great, thanks to the soup, young master. I don't know what to give you as a gift, but when I think about how you have everything you need, I feel embarrassed to give it to you," Xue Zhiyu took a few steps back inconspicuously, feeling inexplicably frightened by his smile.

Xue Zihan took in her little movements, but still didn't say anything. He seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face. "I heard that new materials have arrived from Jinghang recently. You can go shopping more when you have time. You are also about to reach the age of 15, so it's a good idea to have a few more nice clothes."

"Well, I'll definitely go take a look when I have time."

"By the way, the owner of Deyunfang is a good friend of mine. When you go there, tell him that I am your sister, and he will know."

"Okay, thank you..."

"Miss, Lord Xu from the government office is looking for you. He said he has something to tell you," Xiaoqiu walked in quickly, saying a little uneasily.

Xue Zihan didn't wait for Xue Zhiyu to speak, and said first, "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. If you have any difficulties, you can always come to me."

Xue Zhiyu hummed, turned around and followed Xiaoqiu out.

Lord Xu was staring at the gate of the mansion. When he saw the door open, he walked up quickly with excitement and a hint of disbelief in his tone, "Miss Xue, please come with us to Stone Street. The car is ready and waiting for you."

In fact, there was no need for Lord Xu to invite her, Xue Zhiyu was planning to take a look at the situation there today.

"Okay, but I need to go back and get the medicine box. Please wait here for a moment," he said, turning around and winking at Xiao Qiu.

Xiaoqiu nodded and trotted back to get the medicine box.

"What's the situation there now?"

"The situation has improved now, thanks to Miss Xue's prescription. If it weren't for you, Stone Street would still be so disturbing."

Xue Zhiyu didn't show any reaction to Lord Xu's kind words, but instead made Lord Xu a little confused for a moment.

Lord Xu scratched his head, thinking back to what he said, there was nothing wrong with it. Wasn't his flattery enough? Thinking of this, when he was about to speak again, Xue Zhiyu interrupted and said, "Lord Xu, has anyone experienced any adverse reactions after taking it?"

"That's not the case. Not only does it have no adverse reactions, but it also strengthens the body. You and the First Divine Doctor are simply the two great gods of our Great Yan Nation!"

Hearing Lord Xu mention the number one genius doctor, Xue Zhiyu glanced at Teacher Xu who was still immersed in his own world and said casually, "Oh? Have you seen Lord Xu, the number one genius doctor?"

Lord Xu shook his head, his eyes full of regret, "Not everyone can see the number one divine doctor. It is rumored that his whereabouts are uncertain and he lives all over the world. Even if the current emperor invites him to come out, he may not come out, let alone ordinary people like us."

"Then....how can we see the miracle doctor?"

"It depends on fate, or if you have a relationship with the miracle doctor, then he will come to you automatically without you having to look for him and help you solve your problems. Miss Xue, do you want to see the miracle doctor?"

"Just curious," Xue Zhiyu said and then stopped talking. She had even less confidence in finding this number one miracle doctor. She decided to just take it one step at a time.

Xiaoqiu quickly brought the medicine box over, and the master and servant got on the carriage one after another. Seeing this, Lord Xu also hurriedly got on the carriage.

.........

When they arrived at Stone Street, Xue Zhiyu got off the carriage. It still felt like there was no one around except for the original residents.

Lord Xu, who also got off the car, came forward and said quietly, "This place was not like this before. Stone Street was one of the busier streets, with hawking sounds everywhere. Ever since this strange disease appeared, no one dared to approach here, and all the merchants moved away. This place has gradually lost its former glory, and only a shabby scene is left. It is really sad."

Xue Zhiyu sighed, "Well, let's go in and take a look."

There was a house near the corner of the street where a woman dressed as an adult was washing clothes. From time to time, a few children came out playing and laughing. One of them seemed to be running too fast. When he saw someone coming, he could no longer stop and bumped into the person.

"Ouch!!"

The boy in grey rubbed his forehead but apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Lord Xu on the side was about to scold a few words when he was stopped by Xue Zhiyu.

"It's okay, I'm fine, but can you answer a question for me?"

The boy tilted his head, then nodded, "Sure, go ahead and ask."

"Whose family are you from, and why are you here?"

"My home is there, just a few steps away. I heard that father's illness has recovered, so mother decided to take my brother and me to live back home. Father didn't want to drag us down, so he stayed here and asked us to move out," said the boy, pointing to a house not far away.

"Okay, then can you take us there? The person next to me is Lord Xu from the government office. He's not a bad person," he said, looking at Lord Xu, fearing that the boy would think he was someone with bad intentions.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Following the boy, they soon arrived at the door of a house.

The middle-aged man at the door was sharpening tools. When he saw the people behind the boy, he frowned and immediately pulled the boy back behind him, "What can I do for you?"

Xue Zhiyu rubbed her brows helplessly and explained hurriedly, "Brother, please don't misunderstand us. We are not bad people. We just want to know what the situation is like in Stone Street. Next to me is Lord Xu from the government office."

The middle-aged man then looked at the person next to him. After a long while, he realized that it was really Lord Xu, but he was wearing casual clothes and he didn't recognize him at first.

"Greetings, Lord Xu! I was so confused that I didn't recognize you. I'm really grateful for your medicine, otherwise I might have died," thought the middle-aged man, who had a sad face, and then knelt down in front of Lord Xu and kowtowed several times.

Lord Xu did not try to take the credit. He glanced at Xue Zhiyu from the corner of his eye, coughed a few times and said, "Then you are thanking the wrong person. I was just doing something for someone else. The one you should thank is this lady. It was she who came up with the prescription."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment while he kowtowed. He looked at Xue Zhiyu, whom he had just ignored, in disbelief. His lips trembled, "This... this lady? How could...?"

Seeing the middle-aged man looking like he had seen a ghost, Xue Zhiyu felt inexplicably unhappy. Although this incident was surprising, it shouldn't be that exaggerated.

Lord Xu naturally sensed the strange expression on Xue Zhiyu's face. He thought that she was here on orders to do something. If this young lady said something out of displeasure, would he still be able to keep his official position?

Thinking of this, he glared at the middle-aged man in frustration, "How dare you! Are you doubting me?! Miss Xue is an excellent doctor, why don't you kneel down and thank her!!"

Xue Zhiyu didn't know that Lord Xu had such complicated thoughts. When she heard that the middle-aged man had to kneel down to thank her, she refused without thinking, "No, get up quickly. I just want to know what the situation is here. Is there anyone feeling abnormal?"

The middle-aged man heard this and looked at Lord Xu. He then dared to stand up again. After thinking for a while, he said, "No other problems have occurred. Everyone has recovered well, and some of those who moved out have moved back. I believe that before long, Stone Street will no longer be a place that people dread."

When Xue Zhiyu saw the middle-aged man's excited expression, the corners of her mouth also rose slightly.

I visited several more households in Stone Street and found that their situations were roughly the same. Basically, the conditions had improved, but I still needed to take the medicine for three more days to really get rid of the disease.

.......

It was almost evening when we left Stone Street. The afterglow poured down, and the slate tiles changed from a cold color to a warm red, as if by magic.

Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but look up, feeling the afterglow on her body and looking at the fiery clouds in the sky. Although the wind was still a little hot, it didn't affect her mood at all.

After putting down the burden in her heart, she could finally focus on her career. She only hoped that the emperor would not give her any more tasks. She didn't want to have anything to do with anyone from the royal family.

After explaining everything to Lord Xu, Xue Zhiyu did not plan to go back by car, so she walked back to the Prime Minister's Residence with Xiao Qiu. This was a good opportunity for her to take a break. After all, there was no one in the residence who was worry-free, so she might as well seize the opportunity to breathe some fresh air.
