The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

Su Yanhua stood there, watching their departing backs, her face pale, her legs firmly embedded in the ground as if they were filled with cement.

Wu'er's words kept replaying in her mind. At that time, she just thought that Nalan was using his internal force to clear the toxins out of her body, but she didn't expect it to be like this?

She really owed Nalan too much, she couldn't leave, especially now, she shouldn't leave at all!

Su Yanhua made up her mind and followed him, but seeing the closed door, she did not go in. She just stood outside and waited. After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Master Wuchan came out.

Su Yanhua glanced inside the room and asked with a worried look on his face, "Master, how is Nalan's injury?"

Wu Chan's face was solemn, and he sighed softly upon hearing this: "His health was already poor, and he's wasted so much internal energy. Now he's been injured. The energy has damaged his heart and lungs. He won't live long."

Didn't expect it to be so serious?

"Is there any way to cure it?" Su Yanhua asked.

"Legend has it that the thousand-year-old ginseng in Lingbao can cure all diseases and is extremely effective, but no one can find it." Wu Chan lowered his eyes slightly, his face gloomy.

Su Yanhua didn't say anything because she knew that this legendary thousand-year-old ginseng had been used up by her!

But now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself.

"Besides this, is there any other solution?"

Wu Chan was stunned, then suddenly said, "There's a way. There's a misty forest to the north and south of Wuhua Mountain. The medicines there gather natural spiritual energy. Some pharmacists often use these medicines for research and treatment. Among them is a herb called Eight-Angled Lotus, which has green fan-shaped leaves and red fruits underneath. It's specifically used to treat the heart. If we use this medicine to add to our internal energy, it will surely be able to protect the prince's heart meridian."

Su Yanhua's face lit up with joy: "Master, is it true?"

"It's true, but this medicinal herb is extremely rare. You might only find one in the entire forest. Not only that, there's also some miasma in the forest, which is very dangerous. I advise you to reconsider."

"Master, what are you considering? Don't worry, I will definitely find this medicinal herb. Before that, I hope you can take good care of Nalan." Su Yanhua pleaded.

The time now did not allow her to dwell on it any longer. Besides, Wu'er was right. It was because of her that Nalan was seriously injured. It was reasonable for her to go.

……

The road to the Misty Forest required passing through a mountain road, which Su Yanhua couldn't pass on horseback. She bought a horse and walked to the front of the mountain. Seeing an inn, she walked in and ordered a bowl of tea.

What surprised Su Yanhua was that there were quite a lot of people in this inn, and all the tables were completely occupied.

She took a sip of water and looked around carefully. She had walked along the way and saw few people. There were no villages around. It seemed that it was all affected by the miasma. There was no one living around, which was normal.

But these people were wearing strange clothes with narrow sleeves, and there was a coldness in their eyes. Some of them had knives on their waists, and they did not seem to be ordinary people.

She remembered what Shi Wuchan had told her. Most of the medicinal herbs in the Misty Forest were rare treasures, but people without martial arts skills would be injured by the miasma and ferocious beasts in it. Therefore, those merchants or medicine families would hire these martial arts heroes with a large sum of money, tell them the medicinal herbs they needed, and then let these heroes go to the Misty Forest to get them. It was also a kind of transaction.

"Do you think we can find the octagonal lotus today—"

At this moment, Su Yanhua caught what the person behind him said and paused while drinking water.

Su Yanhua glanced over and saw that as soon as the knight finished speaking, another man who was in her gang hurriedly covered her mouth with a scolding voice.

"Didn't I tell you to keep your voice down—"

The woman didn't understand, so she took the man's hand away and said dissatisfiedly, "Why? Everyone here is here to get medicinal herbs, who doesn't know that?"

The man said, "That's different. How do you know if the herbs these people obtained are the same as yours? That herb is extremely precious. If only one person saw it, everyone would scramble for it. At that time, swords and knives would have no eyes."

After saying that, the man made a gesture of wiping his neck, which successfully scared the woman.

The woman exclaimed in shock: "They dare to kill people?"

"The Misty Forest is a forbidden area in Yunqin. It's completely unprotected. People die in it and no one cares. Their bodies will be carried off by wild beasts. This is a natural thing. Therefore, the fewer people who know that the herb we use is the octagonal lotus, the better."

After hearing what the man said, the woman looked around carefully and her face turned pale.

Su Yanhua's heart sank. It turned out that the danger that Master Wuchan mentioned was here. It seemed that the octagonal lotus would be difficult to get, but she must get it!

Suddenly, a man walked into the inn. He was wearing a blue-white robe, and his beautiful phoenix eyes carried the nobility and elegance unique to the East. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he looked evil and dangerous. But there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked lazy and casual, with a beautiful face.

When Su Yanhua suddenly saw Xing Jian, her expression changed, and the hatred in her heart was faintly revealed.

The moment Xing Jian stepped into the room, time seemed to freeze, and everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to him. The reason was simple: simply standing there quietly, this man exuded an otherworldly and unique aura.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his figure slender and graceful, like a piece of flawless jade. A gentle breeze blew through him, and his clothes fluttered, adding a touch of elegance and agility. Every gesture exuded an innate nobility and confidence that captivated everyone.

However, Xing Jian was not the only one who attracted attention. Following him into the house was Xu Qing, whose eyes were as bright as autumn water and whose gaze was full of brilliance, showing all kinds of charm.

Su Yanhua discovered that Xu Qing used to be gentle and stubborn, but these times when Xu Qing was with Xing Jian, she was actually gentle, considerate, delicate and pitiful.

It seems that the word love really changes people's hearts!

Xing Jian glanced around and fixed his gaze on Su Yanhua. A trace of confusion flashed across his face, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

He walked up slowly, and Xu Qing behind him naturally saw Su Yanhua. Her elegant demeanor was enough to attract attention in the crowd. When she saw Xing Jian walking over, Xu Qing was stunned, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Xing Jian sat down opposite Su Yanhua, but before he could even open his mouth, Su Yanhua ordered him to leave.

"Is there anyone here?"

Su Yanhua said coldly.

"Aren't you just a human being?" Xing Jian lifted his robe and said slowly.

Su Yanhua raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows. How did he know?

She turned her head and remembered that Xing Jian had placed some secret guards around to monitor her. Could it be that these secret guards had not been withdrawn yet?

Su Yan snorted coldly, suppressing the anger in her heart, and said in a cold tone: "What does it have to do with you?"

Xing Jian smiled, and an evil aura came to his face. His eyes were fixed on Su Yanhua, as if observing her expression.

"Why is it none of my business? After all, you and I want the same medicinal herbs!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yanhua's face, which was originally as beautiful as a flower, suddenly became gloomy, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, making it difficult to see her true inner emotions.

Her beautiful eyes now became as icy as a cold pond. The chill contained in them seemed to be able to condense the surrounding air and transform it into countless sharp blades, flying straight towards the person in front of her, as if she wanted to cut the other person into pieces immediately.

At this moment, Su Yanhua understood everything. She had never expected that Xing Jian would secretly order the secret guards to eavesdrop on her conversations with others!
