Beigu Street is the most mixed street among the four main streets in Beijing, and Houjiu Lane is the dirtiest and most chaotic area in the entire capital.

Now someone is riding a tall horse and rushing towards this side.

The street vendors were shocked and took notice.

"Miss, you really don't need to go to that kind of place in person." Liu Cheng, the butler of the prime minister's residence, urged his horse with difficulty and whipped it, giving earnest advice.

Ji Xue ignored him, clamping her legs against the horse's belly and charging deeper into Thirteenth Alley. Butler Liu had said that Molan died after being beaten with nearly thirty sticks. The one who did it was Su Mingyue's nanny, who was definitely not as strong as the servants, so perhaps she could still be saved.

Molan had no family, and when slaves like her were beaten to death, no one would collect their bodies. They were often simply rolled up in a tattered mat and thrown directly into a mass grave outside the city. However, because they considered it unlucky, they usually didn't use their own carriages, instead hiring pallbearers who specialized in carrying corpses. This time, the prime minister's palace hired a pallbearer named Lin Da, who lived in Lane 13, Beigu Street, and had just taken someone away.

Ji Xue arrived at the Lin family's gate, which was ajar. The corpse cart was in the yard. There were already several bodies on the cart. Ji Xue dug them out one by one and dug Molan out.

"Miss, there's no need for you to do it yourself. You..." Butler Liu covered his nose with a handkerchief, not knowing what to say.

"Sir, if you want to find someone, just let me do it. Don't dirty your hands." Lin Da rubbed his hands, not knowing what to do. He had collected a whole truck of corpses, and when the time came, he would gather them all together and take them away.

"Shh!"

Ji Xue checked Molan's breath, which was faint, but not absent. She reached out to feel her pulse, and knowing she could still be saved, she picked her up and prepared to leave without a second thought.

"Help... Help..." A hand suddenly stretched out from the pile of dead bodies and grabbed her wrist.

Ji Xue took a look and saw that the root of the nail had turned black, which meant poisoning.

"Take this person with you." Ji Xue looked at the butler Liu who was all talk and no action, picked up Molan, got on the horse and left.

Butler Liu's face suddenly fell: "Miss."

Ji Xue didn't even turn around: "See you in Xinglin Hall."

Xinglintang is the most famous medical clinic in the capital. It is located at the intersection of Dongchang Street and Nan'an Street. Generally, dying people are given priority for treatment.

Galloping all the way.

Ji Xue rushed into Xinglin Hall with Mo Lan in her arms. As soon as she entered, a doctor with a short mustache on his upper lip started to chase them out: "Go away, don't send dead people here!"

"The person is not dead yet, please..." Ji Xue was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"There are two things that our clinic won't treat: criminals and unfaithful and unfilial people." The short-bearded doctor said arrogantly with his chin raised.

"What do you mean?!" Ji Xue's eyes turned cold.

"You were beaten to death as punishment, you must have done something wrong. We at Xinglin Hall won't treat such criminals!" The short-bearded doctor sneered disdainfully, "Besides, Miss Su claimed that you saved Master Lu, so why would you need us at Xinglin Hall? You can treat him yourself!"

This person obviously knows the inside story and should be involved with the prime minister's backyard.

He is being deliberately difficult.

Molan was on the verge of life and death, and Ji Xue was too lazy to talk nonsense: "I didn't ask you to treat me. I just want to borrow the needles and medicine." Ji Xue originally planned to save people by herself. Now Molan's condition was hanging by a thread, and no one could save her except her.

"Gold needles?! You, a poor fool with a lot of money, want to use golden needles?!" The short-bearded doctor couldn't help but sneer: "Do you know how to give acupuncture?"

He didn't finish his sentence.

Ji Xue held Mo Lan in one hand and with the other hand, she grabbed the long needle on the table and threw it at the doctor at Xinglintang, hitting the cheek, chengjiang, and dicang points. "I'll help you get rid of your bad breath!"

"You..." Just as the short-bearded doctor was about to curse, a white figure stuffed a medical record into his mouth.

"Be careful with your words. This is our future Princess Zhan." Bai Shiwu smiled, but his tone was frighteningly cold. He bowed deeply to Ji Xue and said, "Meetings, Miss Su."

This is to help Ji Xue raise her value.

Ji Xue looked at his slightly lame leg and knew that he must have learned a lesson and was taking the opportunity to ease the relationship with her.

"The future Princess Zhan?" The people in the clinic were shocked.

Immediately, a child doctor came to take Molan and led Ji Xue to the female patient clinic in the backyard.

"Miss Su, I'm sorry. Our doctor has neglected you. Do you need any service from Xinglintang?" The owner of Xinglintang quickly came over to apologize.

"Please help me get a set of golden needles and some liquor. If you need a female doctor, please ask her to come and help." Ji Xue said, then looked at Bai Shiwu and said, "Do you have a knife? Lend it to me."

Bai Shiwu handed over a short-bladed knife.

Ji Xue raised her knife and slashed, her long sleeves instantly snapping at her wrists, making her look like she was wearing a dress a size too small. She flexed her wrists and fingers, her alluring white wrists looking a bit dazzling.

Bai Shiwu discovered that Su Jixue's actions always exceeded his expectations. The arrogance and wantonness at the Princess Mansion, the calm command on East Chang Street, and the calmness at this moment.

She is very different from the rumored Su Jixue.

"You wait outside." Ji Xue locked them outside the room where Molan was to be treated.

"Master Bai, is Miss Su really the future Princess Zhan?" The shopkeeper looked curious.

"How could it be false?!" Bai Shiwu rolled his eyes at him. He didn't really want to accept this fact. "If the shopkeeper has time to ask me, why not go and take care of the doctor who just gave our future princess a hard time?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Before leaving, the shopkeeper gave a special reminder: "Then Sir Bai, remember to apply the medicine on time."

Bai Shiwu rolled his eyes in response. The owner of this clinic was simply better at reading people's expressions than anywhere else. He had come here to treat his injuries because he didn't want to be ridiculed by Lao Hei. He hadn't received the emperor's intimidation in the capital, but he had first received his master's order to accept the punishment. But he hadn't expected to run into Su Jixue here. She was supposed to be staying in the prime minister's residence, so why did she run out?

The bloody man that Su Jixue was holding looked to be in great danger. What happened in the prime minister's mansion?

Bai Shiwu decided to stay and take a look.

At this time, in the Qinglan Courtyard at the back of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Mingyue was complaining with dissatisfaction: "Why should I make room for that bitch? I won't move!"

"Oh, little ancestor, please stop making trouble. The Prime Minister is still urging us to leave." Nanny Wu, who raised Su Mingyue, quickly persuaded her, "When the eldest lady comes back to rescue the people, we will definitely have to eat leftovers if we haven't moved yet."

"Hmph, save people? Dream on!" Su Mingyue gritted her teeth: "I wonder if she can be saved!" She had already asked her mother to go to all the major medical clinics and tell them not to receive Su Jixue. Besides, when she had Molan beaten to death, she went to check whether she was dead or not.

"Second Miss, you have to be careful that the eldest lady will come back to cause trouble." Nanny Wu said worriedly.

"Are you the second young lady's or the eldest young lady's? What a joke! We all know the eldest young lady's status, yet you're still showing off here!" Su Mingyue's other nanny rolled her eyes at Nanny Wu and looked at Su Mingyue flatteringly: "The second young lady should teach the eldest young lady a lesson. She bullies our young lady outside, but she hasn't forgotten who's in charge in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Just a fake, bah!"
