The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Yaolin Street is a very famous street in Yunjing City, lined with pharmacies and clinics, truly living up to its name "Yaolin" (meaning "painful forest").

From a distance, several streets away from Yaolin Street, Fang Qingyou could smell a faint medicinal fragrance, which gave her an extremely warm feeling.

As they got closer to Yaolin Street, the aroma of herbs grew stronger, making Fang Qingyou feel an even stronger sense of familiarity.

Upon arriving at Yaolin Street, Fang Qingyou's eyes involuntarily welled up with tears upon smelling the rich aroma of herbs.

The scent of medicine evoked memories of the past for her.

From childhood to adulthood, she has spent every day surrounded by the rich aroma of herbs. She spends more time with medicinal herbs than with people, and her affinity for them is ingrained in her bones.

This sudden teleportation meant that, while she was in Liujia Village, she hadn't been able to smell that rich medicinal fragrance for so long.

Now, smelling that familiar medicinal scent again, she felt a strong, irresistible sense of kinship, like meeting long-lost relatives.

Yi Lingyun was the first to notice the change in Fang Qingyou's expression. Seeing that tears were welling up in her eyes, she asked anxiously, "Qingyou, what's wrong?"

She Yuyan realized what was happening and asked with concern, "Qingyou, are you feeling unwell?"

Yes, after a long chat, She Yuyan and Fang Qingyou have become close friends who acknowledge each other.

Seeing the worry in Yi Lingyun and She Yuyan's eyes, Fang Qingyou shook her head: "I'm not feeling unwell. It's just that as a doctor, it's inevitable that I'm a little emotional when I come here."

Yi Lingyun and She Yuyan both believed Fang Qingyou's explanation: "It's good that nothing happened."

The three continued on their way. Yu Yan and Fang Qingyou, who had been walking side by side, turned around and glanced at Yi Lingyun.

She Yuyan felt that Yi Lingyun's care for Fang Qingyou seemed to be meticulous, and she always felt that he treated her very differently.

However, She Yuyan didn't say anything.

Actually, before she met Yi Lingyun, She Yuyan had planned to bully him. It wasn't for any particular reason, but because Fang Qingyou valued Yi Lingyun more than Luo Qianmo.

Since Luo Qianmo and she were on good terms, of course she had to stand up for him.

After getting to know Yi Lingyun, She Yuyan couldn't bring herself to do it. Yi Lingyun was not only beautiful, but also such a kind and lovely young hero. She really couldn't bring herself to do it.

If she were to say a single word to him, she would truly feel guilty.

Yi Lingyun didn't know why She Yuyan was looking at him, but he simply returned her a clear and pure smile.

As a result, Yu Yan felt even more reluctant to do it.

Therefore, she could only silently apologize to Luo Qianmo in her heart: "Eighth Prince, you should handle your own affairs. I won't interfere."

Fang Qingyou was unaware of the brief exchange between Yi Lingyun and She Yuyan, as her entire attention was focused on the pharmacies and clinics on Yaolin Street.

Before coming to Yaolin Street, Fang Qingyou had made a plan. She planned to visit several of the most famous pharmacies and buy any good medicinal herbs she could find.

Of course, she could also check out the other pharmacies; whether it was buying medicine or gaining experience, it would only be beneficial to her.

As Fang Qingyou walked, she looked along Yaolin Street, and when she was about to return, she looked back from the other side.

Fang Qingyou was watching intently, so when she was about to reach the door of a pharmacy, she was not paying attention and was almost knocked down by a man who rushed out of it.

"Xiao You, be careful!" The reason I say "almost" is because just as Fang Qingyou was about to knock the man down, Yi Lingyun, with quick reflexes, pulled her back a few steps, saving her from harm.

Or, more precisely, the man didn't rush out on his own; he was rudely driven out of the pharmacy by three men.

Judging from their clothes, the three people who drove the man out were clearly apprentices or similar people working in a pharmacy.

Normally, if the man had bumped into Fang Qingyou, he wouldn't have fallen. But now, without any support, he was pushed to the ground by the three medicine boys.

The man was clearly badly hurt when he fell. He groaned and sat on the ground for a long time without getting up.

After the three apprentices chased the man out, they threw out a large pile of fresh medicinal herbs, which landed directly on him.

Some of the fresh medicinal herbs were hanging there. One of the young pharmacists said with a look of disgust, "Get out of here! We've already said our pharmacy won't accept these cheap herbs anymore, why are you still lingering here! Go away, go away!"

Another, slightly taller apprentice doctor shouted angrily, "Get out of here! If you don't leave and disturb our business, I'll beat you to death!"

As he spoke, the tall young medicine boy swung his fist at the man with a fierce expression.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou's anger suddenly flared up.

Fang Qingyou picked up the fresh medicinal herbs that the three apprentices had dropped on the ground, gently held them in her arms, and then walked calmly to the three apprentices.

Fang Qingyou first looked at the first apprentice and asked, "How much are these medicinal herbs? I want to buy them!"

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou pulled out a heavy gold ingot from her person: "Is this enough?"

The young apprentice, initially bewildered and unsure of Fang Qingyou's intentions, immediately brightened up upon seeing the gold ingot in her hand. He beamed and said, "Young lady, what kind of medicinal herbs do you require? Our pharmacy has a complete range of herbs, all of exceptionally high quality. Tell me what you need, and I'll go and prepare the medicine for you right now..."

Before the apprentice could finish speaking, Fang Qingyou interrupted him coldly: "No need, I just want these herbs."

Upon seeing this, the young apprentice was immediately in a dilemma, because the medicinal herbs Fang Qingyou mentioned were the fresh herbs in her hand, and these herbs were not from their pharmacy at all.

The tall, imposing young apprentice was clearly more shrewd than the other apprentice. As Fang Qingyou spoke, he pulled out a pile of loose silver from his pocket and ran to the man they had pushed down earlier: "Brother, I'll take these medicinal herbs. This is your payment for them."

As he spoke, the tall young apprentice stuffed a pile of loose silver into the man's hands, then picked up all the fresh medicinal herbs hanging on his body and presented them to Fang Qingyou with both hands.

The man tried to protect the medicinal herbs, but still recovering from the pain, he was no match for the tall young apprentice and easily succeeded.

When facing Fang Qingyou, the tall young herbalist's smile was even brighter than the previous one: "Young lady, these are the medicinal herbs you requested. Would you like me to wrap them up for you, or deliver them directly to your carriage?"
