Song Nianxin didn't expect Shen Li to accept it. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes and her mouth opened slightly.

"What? Miss Song, you don't want to accept it again?" Shen Li smiled faintly. "It doesn't matter if you don't want to accept it. This hairpin was originally chosen by me. Qingluan, take the banknote!"

Song Nianxin's face seemed to freeze, and her words were no longer soft and gentle: "Xiao Lan, give the hairpin to Princess Chen!"

It was also because of face. As a rich lady, she couldn't go back on her word in front of so many people.

Xiaolan was extremely angry and held onto her hairpin tightly. "Miss, is it true...?"

Song Nianxin frowned, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Xiaolan said no more and handed over the hairpin.

Qingluan raised her face and proudly reached out to take the hairpin.

Xiaolan's eyes darkened, and she tilted her hand to the side, and only a "click" sound was heard.

The hairpin slid to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Everyone looked down and saw that the blue butterfly that was about to fly had its wings broken.

This exquisite hairpin was ruined just like that.

"It's because you didn't answer it properly, so don't blame me." Xiaolan said with a proud smile.

"You did it on purpose!" Qingluan was so angry that she wanted to fight with her.

Shen Li rubbed his brows and said, "Okay, let's go."

Anyway, there was no loss, but the other party lost one hundred taels of silver.

After leaving the jewelry shop, Tang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess, thank goodness you didn't accept Miss Song's gift today. Even if you did, given the prince's temper, he would have asked you to return it."

"What? She gave it to me for free, so I can't take it?"

Tang Zhou scratched his head: "Miss Song, she..."

Seeing Tang Zhou's hesitation, Shen Li spoke directly, "She just likes your prince! Isn't it normal to give gifts to someone you like to express your feelings?"

In the 21st century, if a boy wants to pursue a girl or a girl wants to pursue a boy, don't they give gifts or something?

If you fail to pursue her, the gift will be wasted and there is no point in asking for it back.

Tang Zhou: “…”

It seems that what the princess said makes sense.

"But, but...given the prince's personality, he definitely won't accept it. I heard from the older people in the palace that the prince doesn't want to give those girls hope, not even a little bit."

Shen Li: "That big pig's hoof in Yunchenyu is quite upright!"

"Of course, my prince was not interested in women before, but recently he has become much closer to the princess." Tang Zhou said with a smile.

Shen Li: "He saw that I was a skilled doctor and could cook barbecue, so he wanted to take advantage of me."

Tang Zhou: “…”

"Oh, I almost forgot something important." Shen Li turned to Tang Zhou and asked, "Since you are so familiar with the shops in the city, do you know of any herbal medicine shops that sell Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

Tang Zhou was stunned: "Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

That is a very precious medicinal herb, priceless.

"It's impossible for the herbal medicine shops in the city to sell it."

When Shen Li heard this, he instantly lost his temper.

That’s right, how could these ordinary shops in the capital city have such precious medicinal materials?

"Then do you know where I can buy it?"

"Maybe there will be a ghost market." Tang Zhou said.

"Ghost Market?" Shen Li asked in surprise, "What is a ghost market? Are there really ghosts there?"

Tang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Highness may not understand, but the Ghost Market is called a Ghost Market not because there are real ghosts, but because the trading begins at dawn and closes before daybreak. There's a mix of all sorts of goods, so you need to be careful to identify them. The vendors come from all over, and each one has their own story. There are tomb robbers, some who stole rare treasures from the imperial palace, and some impoverished nobles who sell their antiques in the dark to save face. The Tianshan Snow Lotus you mentioned, Your Highness, might be available in the Ghost Market."

Shen Li understood: "So the ghost market you are talking about is the black market! So where is this ghost market? Let's go check it out now."

Tang Zhou shook his head. "I've only heard of it, I've never been in. To enter the Ghost Market, you have to pay a deposit of one hundred taels of silver. How can ordinary people like us scrape together a hundred taels of silver? Besides, the Ghost Market isn't open every day, only on the first and fifteenth of every month."

Shen Li counted the days: "Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, and the market will open in six days. Let's go after a few days."

However, I didn’t buy any Tianshan Snow Lotus during this trip, but it’s not like the trip was in vain.

Shen Li took Qingluan, Qingzhi and Tang Zhou for a stroll on the street. When they saw a store that caught their eye, they went in to take a look.

They shopped a lot, buying a lot of food, clothes and daily necessities.

Anyway, it was Yunchen Domain’s money that was spent, so Shen Li didn’t feel bad about it.

Now, Shen Li finally felt a little bit of the joy of traveling to another world.

On the way back, the gift boxes filled the entire carriage. Only Shen Li sat in the carriage, and the two maids had to sit outside the carriage and drive the carriage with Tang Zhou.

Just as the carriage was about to turn into the alley, a strange phenomenon occurred.

An old lady with white hair and wrinkled face, leaning on a cane, fell down in front of the carriage.

Tang Zhou's nerves tensed up and he pulled the reins tightly. The brown horse raised its front hooves, neighed, and stopped.

"What happened?" Shen Li staggered in the car.

"Princess, an old woman fell in front of the carriage." Qingluan lifted the curtain and reported to Shen Li.

"Go down quickly and see if there are any injuries."

Qingluan, Qingzhi and Tang Zhou all got off the carriage.

Qingluan squatted down and asked politely, "Old lady, are you okay?" As she spoke, she was about to help the old woman up.

The old woman seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get up. She held her waist and cried out, "It hurts... It hurts..."

Qingzhi walked to the carriage and said to Shen Li: "Master, the old woman seems to have injured her waist and can't get up."

Shen Li got off the carriage, thinking that since he knew medicine, he might be able to help the old woman. After all, it was his own carriage that scared her, so he felt responsible.

After getting off the car, Shen Li went straight to the old woman and squatted down.

"Old lady, I know some medical skills, I can help you."

Just when Shen Li was about to lift the old woman's arm, the old woman exerted force with her right hand and slapped Shen Li on the shoulder.

"Oh no! It's an assassin!" Qingluan shouted, "Hurry and protect the master!"

At this moment, Shen Li only felt a fishy and sweet taste in his mouth, and almost vomited blood.

It happened so quickly that Tang Zhou drew out his sword in a flash and stabbed the old woman in the throat.

At this moment, Shen Li felt cold all over and even his breathing became faster.

This is not an old woman who fell down because of the fright of the carriage, this is a killer.

Want her life!
