We came to the small courtyard where Zhuge Bucai lived. Because he was the court physician, he was equipped with a small courtyard where he could grow some medicinal herbs, and there was an open space to dry the herbs.

It is close to the pharmacy in the General's Mansion, so it is convenient to get prescription and medication.

But the herbs in the yard were all dead. In some places, the herbs were replaced and some flowers were planted.

There wasn't a single medicinal herb in the drying area; it didn't look like a doctor's residence.

The old man seemed to know she was coming and sat on a recliner under the tree with his eyes closed.

"I thought you would come to see me last night, but I didn't expect you to be so patient. That's great!"

Zhuge Bucai didn't even open his eyes and pointed at the recliner next to him.

"Since you couldn't wait and came here last night, why should I come here in such a hurry?"

Shangguan Yue wiped the recliner with a handkerchief, frowned, and then lay down.

"Aren't you curious about who I am, why I know your mother was poisoned, and why I know what can cure the poison?"

"I'm curious! But if they don't say it, I won't force them to say it, right?

Anyway, my mother can now use Lingxiao grass to suppress the toxins. She only needs to drink it twice a year, and it is not as painful as a cold."

"Don't you want to completely detoxify? You can't guarantee that there will always be Lingxiao grass in the future! What if it dies?"

"Then just wait to die! When you die you can go home, how nice."

"You, you, how can you be so unmotivated? You should say that you will devote all your energy to growing the Lingxiao grass and ask for my help."

"I'm not going to die anyway, so why should I ask you for help? I just wanted to see if you are a human or a ghost. Now that I've seen clearly, I'm leaving."

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you walking? What did you see clearly?"

"Neither a human nor a ghost."

"what does that mean?"

Shangguan Yue left without even looking back. This person was not simple, he should know everything, but he just didn't say it.

But he wants others to beg him and flatter him, and he enjoys this feeling. If she shows that she cares about her a little, he will definitely have a backup plan.

Until she figured out the situation, she still had to act the other way.

Zhuge Bucai looked at Shangguan Yue's leaving figure dimly and whispered:

"It can't be wrong, it's you, I won't make the wrong choice again."

.........

Two days later

"Miss, I have brought them back and arranged for them to stay in Jiazi Alley. They asked if they could stay in Jiazi Alley in the future. They like the children and environment there very much."

Yan Hong reported back.

"Oh, you did a great job. If they like, let them live with the children after this is over!"

"Miss, there is one more thing. Before I came back, I went to the government office. The person behind the riots in the three stores should be the same old woman.

This is the portrait they drew based on the prisoner’s narration. Although the woman’s face is covered, her body shape, eyes, eyebrows, and other descriptions are the same.”

Yan Hong handed over the portrait.

The old woman in the portrait has well-developed limbs and a strong figure, and her eyes are as cold and fierce as a poisonous snake. Anyone who has seen this look will never forget it.

Suddenly something flashed through my mind, but I couldn't remember it.

I wonder if Xiaobai and the others have seen this old woman? I can let Xiaolan and Xiaozi see her later.

Oh! She remembered that she seemed to have seen such a pair of eyes before, but she could not remember where exactly.

"Yanhong, ask someone to copy a few more copies of this portrait and see who has seen this person. You must be tired too! Go down and have a rest first, and we'll do it tomorrow."

Watching Yan Hong leave, Shangguan Yue sank into her memories, wondering where she had seen these eyes before.

……

Chen Bianbian, who has recovered her energy, started her screenwriting work again.

She listened to Shangguan Yue's advice and edited more plays of various types to enrich the various program needs of Lanyue Pavilion.

Shangguan Yue's presence also gave her a lot of inspiration, which made her creation more fun and fulfilling.

The two of them discussed renovating unprofitable shops in other places and turning them into new businesses, or using them to open branches and operate them as a chain.

It can also be used to open a wholesale business. They make a certain pattern of fabric specifically for customers and it is only sold to a certain merchant and not to others.

Rouge and lipstick can also be packaged in a different way, with the color slightly changed, to make it a color exclusive to other businesses, which is a win-win cooperation.

They took action as soon as they spoke, and the two began to discuss the plan enthusiastically.

……

Royal Palace

"Your Majesty, Shangguan Yan requests to see you." The eunuch came to report.

"Again? You lost half your life last time and you're still not afraid of death. A reckless man is just thick-skinned and tough."

If Chen Bianbian heard this, he would definitely curse. How dare he say that Shangguan Yan, such a handsome guy, is thick-skinned?

The eunuch lowered his head and dared not speak. The emperor took one look and said:

"What did he come to say?"

"The general said he wanted to present something to your Majesty."

"Oh? What do you want to present to me?" The emperor stopped reviewing memorials.

"The general said it was something very important and he wanted to hand it over to you personally, Your Majesty."

"Hmph! Let's see what he does. If he continues to act unreasonably, I will punish him again. Announce!" The emperor sneered.

"Your Majesty, I, Shangguan Yan, bow to you. Long live the emperor."

"Shangguan Yan, what do you have to report? If you don't stay in the camp and come here to make trouble, I will still punish you."

The emperor looked with cold eyes at Shangguan Yan, who was kneeling in the palace with her head bowed. He thought that Shangguan Yan was a stubborn person and a warrior was always a warrior.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to take back the tiger talisman." Shangguan Yue handed the small box over his head.

Shangguan Yan's words almost made the emperor on the dragon throne jump up. The emperor suppressed his trembling hands and tried his best to calm the excitement in his heart.

"What do you mean, dear?"

"Your Majesty, there is no war at the border now, but my family has been plagued by problems of all sizes. I have been injured repeatedly since the war, and now my wife is also bedridden.

I may not be able to fight in the future, so it is not appropriate for me to keep the tiger talisman. I hope Your Majesty will take it back and give it to a suitable person in the future."

Shangguan Yan spoke earnestly.

Listening to Shangguan Yan's words, Emperor Xiao Ding had never felt so happy.

Isn't that right? A minister should be aware of the current situation and should automatically present the tiger talisman after returning from a war. If he had done so earlier, he would not have been punished with a beating last time.

Holding the tiger talisman of 600,000 troops, he has to be careful with anyone he is with. In the future, he can give the throne to whoever he wants, not just whoever wants it.

Take back the tiger talisman, hold the 600,000 troops tightly, and see who dares to do it again.

"My dear minister, your words are too kind. I know that you have been loyal to the country and worked hard for the people.

Your old injuries have not healed yet, so you need to rest more. The general's wife is not in good health, so please take care of her.

You are a first-rank general, and the general's wife should also be given the title of a first-rank lady. I will issue an edict to grant her the title later!

I see that you don't look well, so you should go back and have a good rest. In a month, go to the camp outside the capital to take over General Feng's position. General Feng has retired and returned to his hometown."

Xiao Ding stepped forward with sincere affection and helped Shangguan Yan up.

"I thank the emperor for his grace, and I will take my leave."

The relationship between the monarch and his subjects was very cordial and harmonious.

Watching Shangguan Yan's departing figure, Xiao Ding picked up the tiger talisman in the box and stroked it gently.

"Xiao Yingzi, please cure Chu Fan's poison! He should wake up after sleeping for so long."
