"Qing'er, Lu'an, come here." Xie Jinglan called the two children over.

"Yes." Qing'er and Lu An came over and stood properly.

"This is Master Fang, invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Come and meet him." Xie Jinglan introduced him to the two children.

Xie Yunqing and Lu An bowed their hands and saluted Confucius in a proper manner.

"Meet Master Fang!"

"Hmm." Master Fang looked at the two children and nodded slightly. "They are two good seedlings. I will accept them both."

"Thank you, Master Fang. They will be of great help to you in the future." Xie Jinglan was very happy that Master Fang was willing to accept her younger brother as his disciple. She would not have to worry about his studies in the future.

"Master Fang, let's go inside and talk." Beitang Yuan walked into her study first with a familiar look.

Xie Jinglan personally brewed a pot of good tea and brought it in.

After pouring tea for both of them, she called the two children over and said, "Qing'er, Lu'an, quickly kowtow to your master."

Master Fang has already agreed to accept the two children as his disciples, so he must perform the ceremony of becoming his apprentice.

Xie Yunqing and Lu An stood up, bent their knees and knelt down, "Disciple kowtows to Master."

"Get up." Master Fang personally helped the two children up.

"I have already told Master Fang about the situation at Duke Li's mansion. He comes here every day to teach the two children and only takes a day off every five days." Beitang Yuan briefly told her what happened.

Their Xie family has already formed a feud with the Lin family. Lin Yuansheng has been planning for decades but ultimately gained nothing. He must be holding a grudge and is afraid that these people will take the opportunity to take revenge, so he cannot allow Xie Yunqing to go to the National Academy to attend classes.

"Okay." Xie Jinglan secretly observed Master Fang's expression and took out a Qi-replenishing pill and gave it to him as a gift.

"A second-grade elixir." Beitang Yuan and Master Fang looked at the elixir, then looked at each other, both very surprised.

"You can actually make pills?"

"No, this is a gift from my master. I want to thank Master Fang for accepting me as his disciple. It's just a small token of my respect. I hope you won't mind." Xie Jinglan said with a smile.

"Your master?" Beitang Yuan looked at her with an even deeper gaze. It seemed that this girl had quite a few secrets.

According to the information he had gathered, he had never heard that she had ever had a master.

"It's worthy of being the Duke of Li's Mansion. It has a very profound foundation. They can even give out a second-grade elixir as a gift. Then I won't be polite." Master Fang smiled and accepted the elixir.

He won't be polite if he has money but nowhere else to buy such a good pill.

The three of them sat and chatted for a while, discussed the children's schooling, and then Beitang Yuan and Master Fang left.

After Xie Jinglan saw them off, she also went to Ximei Garden and told her grandmother the good news that Master Fang had accepted her younger brother as his disciple.

Xie Wanying's health is getting better day by day. She no longer needs a cane to walk. She walks around the house during the day and meditates at night.

Hearing Xie Jinglan's words, she was also happy for her grandson, "Lan'er, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good person. This time we are grateful for his help. I am relieved that you have married a good man."

"Don't worry, grandma, we will all be fine." Xie Jinglan just smiled.

She has made up her mind not to get married in this life.

At present, she wants to improve her martial arts first, and then kill the Lin family to avenge her hatred. After another ten or eight years, when Qing'er grows up and can support the Duke of Li's Mansion, she will take the monkey and leave, and wander around the world from then on.

The next afternoon, Beitang Yuan came to Yuelanyuan again.

Xie Jinglan was in the space. When she heard Xie Yin and Xie Xue greeting her, she came out of the space and opened the door. "Come in and talk!"

"Ahem..." Beitang Yuan coughed twice and walked into her room, "Am I coming here too soon?"

"I remember His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: Men and women should not touch each other. If you keep going in and out of other people's boudoirs several times a day, my reputation will be ruined sooner or later." Xie Jinglan said lightly.

"My reputation has been ruined by you!" Beitang Yuan pointed at the wound on his right chest that had not yet healed and complained:

"That day you stripped me naked, looked at me naked, and touched me all over. My innocence is gone."

"I was supposed to treat your injuries. How can I sew them up and bandage them if I don't take off my clothes? You can't blame me for this." Xie Jinglan rolled her eyes at him. "Besides, you're a man. How can you be innocent?"

"Who says men can't be innocent? That day you pressed me down on the bed, untied my clothes, and even drew circles around my heart with your fingers.

My body was seen naked by your first woman. My innocence is gone. You have to be responsible for me." Beitang Yuan covered his heart with his hands, blinking his peach blossom eyes, looking like he had been bullied and sad.

"..." Xie Jinglan blushed, remembering that she just wanted to tease him that day, but she didn't expect him to bring up the past.

"He's a prince of a country, so smooth-talking and good at talking. I don't know how many beauties he has deceived."

"You're wrongly accusing me." Beitang Yuan suddenly leaned closer to her, "How about I take off all my clothes and let you check me? I've definitely not let any other woman touch me."

"How can a man like you check..." Xie Jinglan suddenly realized that he was teasing her and pushed his head away with her hand, "Stay away from me."

"Hahaha!" Beitang Yuan laughed when he saw her embarrassed. "Are you scared already? Weren't you quite brave that day?"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you came to see me." Xie Jinglan didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore and changed the subject.

Beitang Yuan sat up straight and stopped arguing with her, "It's still about the poison pill. Although the poison of Bai Ri Xiao has been cured, the patient's condition has become worse.

Old Madam Lu suffers from tuberculosis, which was not originally so serious. However, after taking the soul-restoring pill, her condition worsened due to poisoning. The decoction prescribed by the imperial physician has no effect at all. She even vomited a lot of blood last night. If she continues like this, she may not be able to hold on for a few more days.

Because this incident was caused by King Mu, my father feels guilty and has once again posted an imperial edict offering a large reward for finding a doctor. Since you understand medicine, why not go and help!"

"You spent a lot of money to seek medical treatment? How much is this amount?" Xie Jinglan became interested when she heard it.

Since it is a huge sum of money spent by the emperor, it must be a huge sum, and it would be a waste not to make money from it.

Beitang Yuan found it funny to see her eyes light up when she talked about gold. It turned out that she was a little money-grubber.

"If you can cure the disease, I will reward you with 20,000 taels of gold. If you can alleviate the patient's condition, I will reward you with 10,000 taels."

"Only 20,000 taels of gold?" Xie Jinglan was a little disappointed.

The Lu family spent fifty thousand taels of gold to buy a pill, but only gave twenty thousand taels for medical treatment. This is too stingy and too discriminatory!

Beitang Yuan saw her twinkling eyes and shook his head helplessly, "This is just the reward from my father. If you can cure Old Madam Lu's illness, the Lu family and the Jiajun Prince's Mansion will reward you handsomely. We won't treat you unfairly."

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look." Xie Jinglan agreed. She treated people mainly to gain points, so she didn't care about the reward.

Suddenly, I remembered something, "You didn't tell them about the Hundred Days Smile incident that I was the one who did it, right?"

"You girl, do I have such a long tongue?" Beitang Yuan was speechless and flicked her forehead with his finger.
