Spring Drunk Chang'an

The Song family was very sincere and humble when facing Doctor Bai. They were indeed helpless, but...

It is clear.

No!

Doctor Bai's style is to prescribe the most "weak and cheap" medicines. As long as the common medicine can achieve the therapeutic effect, even if it is only 80%, he will not make things difficult for the patient's family.

“…I can’t change it.”

"Bamboo fern is the main ingredient for treating Mr. Liu's crippled leg. If it were grown elsewhere, I'm afraid the effect wouldn't be even 50%."

"I can stand up, but I need crutches to walk, which is still very inconvenient."

When Doctor Bai wrote out the prescription, he made it clear that as long as Liu Yu used the medicine he prescribed in conjunction with his acupuncture and conditioning methods, his crippled leg could be cured in a year at most.

There will be no problem walking, sitting, lying, strolling, or even riding a horse. The only difference from a normal person is that you cannot overexert yourself, and you will feel a little sore when it is cloudy or rainy.

A normal person becomes someone who can only use crutches.

This gap is unacceptable to Liu Yu himself, and even the Song family cannot accept it.

"Otherwise, Dad, I will send my confidant to Rong Country to see if he can buy it..." suggested the Prince of Cheng'en.

Song Bin and Old Mrs. Song were a little moved.

only……

"It's too far!"

Liu Chang'an lowered his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

Rong State is one of the small countries in the Western Regions. It is remote and close to the desert. It is thousands of miles away from Daxia. Along the way, there are mountains, rivers, dense forests and paths, and there is an endless desert. How many elites must the Cheng'en Mansion send out, and how many lives must be sacrificed, before they can arrive safely?

'Bamboo fern' is a national treasure of Rong State. You may not be able to find it even if you go there. Even if you do, they may not sell it.

Besides, even if everything goes smoothly, how long will it take to go back and forth?

I'm afraid it won't be much faster than waiting for Rong State to pay tribute next time?

Of course, Liu Yu needed this medicine right now, and the relatives of Duke Cheng'en felt sorry for him and were willing to help him. If Liu Chang'an didn't have an idea, he would naturally not say anything, but...

She has an idea.

"My Lord, Madam, I know where to find the bamboo shoots!"

Just as everyone was discussing which of the Duke's old officials had ever been to the desert, how many people to bring, and how much silver to bring, Liu Changan suddenly interrupted.

Her voice was low and her eyes dropped slightly.

His face was a little pale.

It seemed like I remembered something bad.

"You know? Where is it?" Song was overjoyed and asked anxiously.

Liu Changan lowered her head even lower, twisting her hands together so hard that her fingertips turned white. She said, "Yes, it's the Qingyun Crown."

"The host there has a dish called bamboo shoots."

She knew this in her previous life.

Liu Chang'an had complicated feelings towards Qingyun Crown. In her previous life, the female Taoists in the crown received an order from the Ningguo Mansion and imprisoned her there. Whenever she wanted to leave, a Taoist priest would follow her. In the later period, she was not even allowed to go out, and she had to face four white walls and the sky all day long.

For five whole years, she became depressed and almost crazy.

Logically, she should hate everyone in Qingyunguan.

however……

The female Taoist priests in Guanli, apart from not allowing her to move freely, never abused her. They treated her with gentleness and consideration, but they also talked and laughed with her. For example, in this life, the first aid method she used to save Liu Yu was taught by the Taoist priests in Guanli. She could read and write, do accounting and manage affairs, most of which were learned during the five years of seclusion.

Like Yuantan Temple, Qingyun Temple is a temple that is half owned by the government. The only difference is that Yuantan Temple is a Buddhist temple, and they are in charge of any royal ceremonies and prayers. However, Qingyun Crown is a Taoist crown for women, and its use is very different from that of Yuantan Temple.

They were responsible for "receiving" the wives of officials who wanted to "cultivate themselves in seclusion".

Those high-ranking officials, noble ladies, and aristocratic young ladies who are interested in the "Tao" and do not want to be involved in the worldly affairs will basically be sent to Qingyunguan by their families to "cultivate".

To put it bluntly, it is to imprison those ladies and young ladies who have been abandoned by their families but are reluctant to let them go and die of illness.

Like in her previous life, Liu Changan lived in Qingyunguan for five years. Her neighbor was a crazy young lady from the house of a military official who eloped with her milk brother. Her mother was reluctant to let her die of illness, and the clan could not tolerate a woman who ran away, so they sent her to Qingyunguan.

Miss Crazy and her brother gave birth to a daughter. After she was found by her family, the clan leader threw her to death in front of her.

The young lady went crazy from then on, and lived in seclusion in a thief for more than a year. She accidentally fell into a well and drowned.

After her death, Liu Changan's neighbor became the mistress of a fifth-rank official's family.

This woman had an affair with an actor, but her parents were powerful and would not allow her husband's family to deal with her, so she was sent to Qingyun Bandits to hide. Liu Changan learned his poetry skills from her.

After the mistress of the house had avoided the limelight in Guanli for two years, she was taken away by her natal family.

Only Liu Changan was locked up in Qingyunguan in a half-dead state, spending all day with the Taoist priests, occasionally helping them with some chores and taking care of the new "nobles".

As for how he knew that the leader of Qingyun Raiders had Bamboo Sclerotinia, it was because one time, after the previous emperor passed away, the noble concubine who asked to practice in Qingyun Crown accidentally fell down the stairs and broke her arm. After the doctor examined her, he said that the injury was extremely serious and would not heal. The noble concubine was panicked and cried, so the leader of the crown got some medicine, and within half a month, the noble concubine recovered as before!

Liu Changan asked a few questions out of curiosity, and the lady of the crown said that her medicine was made with epimedium bamboo, and she also said how precious epimedium bamboo was, that it was a tribute to the royal family and that it was rare in the world.

Liu Changan remembered it.

"The owner of the Qingyun Crown was the former Empress Dowager's pseudonym. When the Empress Dowager was alive, she often invited her to the palace to preach. The fleshy bamboo was a gift from the Empress Dowager!"

In her previous life, it was the fourth year that she lived in Guanli, and the old master of Guanli was still able to find medicine to treat Gui Taipin. Now, he must still be able to do so. However, Qingyun Guan has a special status in the capital, and the epimedium is precious. I wonder if the Cheng'en Mansion has any relationship with Guanli?

Can you come?

"Dad, Mom!" Upon hearing this, Song immediately turned her head to her parents.

Song Bin and Old Lady Song looked at each other for a long moment, their eyes showing embarrassment.

In the Cheng'en Mansion, they have always been accustomed to loving couples, filial fathers, and harmonious relationships between sisters and brothers. It has never happened in several lifetimes that they need to send the female members of the family to "cultivate in seclusion".

Qingyun Crown, I have never come across it.

The old couple looked at their son at the same time.

Prince Cheng'en: ...

What are you looking at him for? He doesn’t have any either!!

He instinctively looked at his wife.

"Prince, my family has always been harmonious, and there has never been any trouble!!" The wife of the Prince of Cheng'en widened her eyes and spoke in a low voice with gritted teeth.

What are you looking at?

My family is full of joy, warmth and happiness. The women in my family are all polite and trustworthy. It has nothing to do with Qingyunguan!!

No! !

The whole family was confused.

Without any connections, it would be difficult to ask for the treasures from the owner...

"How about I go alone?"

Seeing this, Xiao Chuo sighed and spoke.
