The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

"I wonder how father could find time to come to my Qingzhu Courtyard?"

Shen Tangan pretended not to hear and smiled faintly.

She is indeed the most beautiful girl in the brothel. In the blink of an eye, she has won her father's heart.

"I have nothing to do, so I just take a walk."

Shen Jiyuan paused for a moment and made up an excuse.

My soul has been hooked away and I have completely forgotten the purpose of coming here.

He looked up at the courtyard around him, but his mind was actually on something else. His eyes kept glancing at Meng Shu's house, and he even asked an irrelevant question casually.

"Are you enjoying living in this yard?"

"It's nice. Father, it's a rare visit. Why don't you stay a little longer? There's a new maid in my courtyard who's good at playing music. Why don't you let her come and entertain father?"

Shen Tangan smiled. She had lived in this courtyard for more than ten years. Today, her father finally remembered to care about her.

I could see that he was absent-minded. Since he liked Meng Shu, I might as well introduce him to her.

"Oh? New here?"

Sure enough, when Shen Jiyuan heard this, he immediately became interested and his excitement was beyond words.

"Please invite Meng Shu here."

Soon, Meng Shu came over with the zither in her arms, looked at him shyly, and nodded in greeting.

"This servant greets the Marquis and the eldest lady."

"No need to be polite."

Shen Jiyuan immediately laughed. If there wasn't someone beside him, he would have reached out to help.

"I didn't expect you could play music."

"I grew up in a poor family. Before I was helped by the young lady, I made a living by singing."

Meng Shu lowered her head, seeming to be extremely ashamed of her past. As she spoke, she looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"My Lord, please don't dislike Meng Shu."

"Of course not. Since you have come to the Marquis' Mansion, you can stay here with peace of mind."

Shen Jiyuan waved his hands quickly, fearing that she would overthink it. He wanted to go forward to comfort her, but because Shen Tangan was beside him, he had to give up in the end.

Meng Shu is delicate and charming, but her body is frail and fragile, so she looks even more pitiful when she cries.

After hearing his affirmative words, she stood up with sobs, walked to the side with the guitar in her arms, and prepared to play.

"Father, my daughter has something to go out for, so you can rest here."

Shen Tangan stood up and said with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jiyuan waved his hands at her repeatedly, and his words seemed to urge her.

"Okay, go ahead if you have something to do."

Seeing his anxious look, she knew that she had ruined his mood. She looked up at Meng Shu, lowered her eyes and smiled, then led people away.

Shen Tangan went out today to look for medicinal herbs for his brother.

My brother's leg missed the best treatment time, and although she gave him acupuncture every day, the effect was minimal.

She needed to find a blood marrow herb that could regrow broken bones. With this herb and her help, her brother's legs would be restored to their original state within a month.

However, Blood Marrow Grass is extremely rare, has a high price but is in short supply, and very few people know about it.

She had been asking around for a long time these days but couldn't find it. Even in the bustling city of Kyoto, there was no trace of it.

I asked many people, and most of them didn't even know this herb.

But a few days ago, Xue Ji found out that twenty miles west of the city, there was a miracle doctor who specialized in treating some difficult and complicated diseases.

Many doctors who ran clinics asked them to try their luck with this miracle doctor.

Is this not?

As soon as she got the news, she rushed over, and she also wanted to meet this miracle doctor.

Anyone who is called like this by everyone must have great medical skills. I hope to find the blood marrow grass there.

The carriage drove out of the city gate and headed west. It was unknown how long it had been driving before it stopped at the foot of a mountain.

Shen Tangan got off the carriage and looked at the mountains above his head. There were no words or monuments, only bamboos all over the mountains, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the invisible top of the mountain.

"Miss, I heard that the miracle doctor lives halfway up the mountain, and whether you can see him depends entirely on luck."

Xue Ji brought the map to her and pointed to the place marked in red. This was where the miracle doctor was.

"luck?"

Her luck has always been good, I wonder how it will be this time.

"I specifically asked them about this, and I heard that this miracle doctor only saves those who are destined to be saved. Many people went up the mountain to seek medicine, but some couldn't even find the entrance."

Xue Ji helped her up the stone steps.

Shen Tangan frowned when he heard this. The first reaction in his mind was that there might be Tai Chi Bagua Qimen Dunjia hidden in the bamboo forest all over the mountain, otherwise why couldn't those people even find the door.

Although she didn't understand these things, she could only take one step at a time. Now that she had reached the foot of the mountain, she was sure that she would see this miracle doctor.

I never thought that there would be a day when she would ask others for medicine!

What a turn of events!

I don’t know how many stone steps I walked, but it always felt like I would never reach the end.

Fortunately, Shen Tangan was wearing a light dress today. Even so, she was exhausted and sweating profusely. She sat on the steps and gasped.

She hadn't been sure at first, but now it seemed they were trapped, and she was afraid that the bamboo forest would start to change from the moment they stepped onto the first stone step.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Yunzhu didn't care about her tiredness and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face.

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Tangan took the handkerchief and motioned for them to sit down and rest for a while.

Turning around to look at the surroundings, he suddenly saw a small white flower blooming beside the stone steps. His eyes immediately lit up and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It turns out that the way to find a miracle doctor is not some strange art, but the ability to identify herbs.

Beside the stone steps there are leafy purple grasses similar to wild flowers, and in the bamboo forest there are Wusu plants that form a path. Each herb is guiding her in the right direction.

Suddenly I felt speechless about this miracle doctor. People came to him either to ask for medicine or medical treatment.

He uses rare herbs that are easily confused with wild flowers as guides. Does he want people to find them, or does he not want people to find them?

Moreover, these herbs are slightly toxic. People who cannot walk out for a long time may easily be poisoned and get lost in the bamboo forest.

Is the man halfway up the mountain really a miracle doctor?

In her opinion, he looked more like a weird doctor who didn't like to be disturbed.

However, this little thing was not a problem for her, except that she couldn't bring Xue Ji and Yun Zhu with her.

Although she made some commonly used antidotes and poisons and carried them with her, the quantities were not large.

She didn't know how long the road was, so she couldn't take the two of them on the adventure.

"Xue Ji Yun Zhu, go wait for me by the carriage at the foot of the mountain. I have found the way. Wait for me to come back with the medicine."

"Miss! No! I will go to get medicine, please tell me the way."

Xue Ji quickly stood in front of her, her face full of worry.

The young lady is a weak girl, how can she travel alone? Moreover, this bamboo forest is filled with unspeakable weirdness. What should they do if something happens to the young lady?

"This herb is poisonous. If you stay here any longer, you might lose your life. But this herb has no harm to me. As long as I ask for the medicine, I will go down the mountain to meet you as soon as possible. If you force yourself to follow me, you will only drag me down."

Shen Tangan picked the small white flower closest to her that looked like an ordinary wild flower and held it in front of the two of them.

Xue Ji Yunzhu came forward and took a closer look, but didn't see anything different. Could it be that their young lady was lying to them?

"Miss, we servants would rather die before you! How can we let you go into the mountains alone?"

Yunzhu shook her head firmly, she must not leave the young lady alone.

"What if you are with me?"
