Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Ye Shangyuan understands Mu Xue quite well. Just as you thought, Ye Shangyuan, if she knew that all of this was aimed at her because of her identity as an ancient doctor...

She will definitely use her identity as an ancient doctor to get close to Prince Jing'an, and then she will do anything to avenge Granny Kang.

Leng Quan suddenly remembered the ruthlessness that Mu Xue exuded, and he felt that what Ye Shangyuan said was very likely.

Wu Ying also realized what was happening and said, "I can understand Prince Jing targeting Xiaoxue herself, but why target the ancient doctor?"

"I know about this. It seems that when the ancient physician was treating the eldest son of the Mu family, the Prince of Jing's son came to the mansion, wanting to invite the ancient physician to come for a chat. However, the princess refused on the spot and embarrassed him. As you know, the Prince of Jing's son is a very proud person. How could he tolerate the princess disrespecting him like that!" Leng Quan fully displayed his gossipy nature.

Having lived in Yu Nan City for so many years, Wu Ying understood Mo Shijie's character perfectly. He nodded knowingly and said, "On the surface, Prince Jing's son is gentle and kind to everyone, but in reality, he is just like his father, full of bad intentions and his face clearly shows that he is not a good person."

Speaking of this, Wu Ying recalled the news that had come from the Mu family a couple of days ago, and continued, "The day before yesterday, Prince Jing took his heir to the Mu family, ostensibly to visit the eldest son of the Mu family, but actually to discuss the annulment of the engagement between the two families."

Leng Quan had just arrived in Yu Nan City and hadn't had a chance to hear about this yet. He said with a face full of surprise, "The engagement is off? That's great! That saves the Prince from having to rack his brains about how to help the Princess break off the engagement!"

After saying that, she didn't forget to look at Ye Shangyuan with a fawning expression.

Ye Shangyuan did not respond, but Wu Ying said, "Neither family has made any statement. It was only after Prince Jing left that news spread from the Mu family that the fifth young lady of the Mu family had been jilted."

Upon hearing that the news originated from the Mu residence, Leng Quan suddenly exclaimed, "How could such a message be spread from the Mu residence? This is so damaging to the Princess's reputation! How could General Mu do such a thing?"

Wu Ying shook his head and said, "Mu Qinghe wouldn't do that. Even if he doesn't know Xiaoxue, he wouldn't spread such rumors."

Wu Ying had met Mu Qinghe before and had some understanding of his character.

Ye Shangyuan then spoke up, saying, "General Mu wouldn't do that. The only one who could do it is that young lady in the Mu family."

Leng Quan instantly understood and said, "Is Your Highness referring to Miss Mu Liu?"

He also recalled his previous gossip with Ye San about Mu Xue's experiences at the Mu residence, mentioning how the Sixth Miss had treated Mu Xue. He felt that the Prince's thoughts were quite plausible.

“If it’s Miss Mu Liu, then it’s not surprising. Every child in Yu Nan City knows that this Miss Mu Liu is always hanging out with Prince Jing’s son. Isn’t she just trying to replace Xiao Xue and become Prince Jing’s wife?” Wu Ying said.

This was the first time Leng Quan had heard this claim, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't we say before that the Princess Consort was always dressing up strangely and chasing after Prince Jing's son everywhere? How come it's Miss Mu Liu who's always spending time with Prince Jing's son now?"

After Leng Quan finished speaking, he found the study quiet and no one answered him. He first looked at Wu Ying, and then he suddenly felt a cold gaze lock onto him.

He slowly turned his head and saw Ye Shangyuan looking at him with a cold smile on his lips.

Leng Quan suddenly remembered what he had just said, and he suddenly realized what he had said.

He secretly slapped his mouth, muttering to himself in annoyance, "Why was I born with a mouth?"

Wu Ying looked at Leng Quan with a smile. Having this clown was quite amusing.

He looked at Ye Shangyuan and asked, "Xiaoxue wasn't thinking clearly back then. She was instigated by her younger sister in many things. That little girl is obviously a bad person."

"Yes, I understand." Ye Shangyuan understood that Wu Ying was explaining it to him.

He felt a little regretful that he couldn't be a part of Mu Xue's past life, but he felt that being able to stay by Mu Xue's side now was the most important thing.

"Leng Quan, has there been any news from Ye Wu?" Ye Shangyuan asked.

When Night Five was mentioned, Reizumi's expression turned serious.

He quickly replied, "I've already contacted Young Master Mu. He's already gone to Shanghai with the Prince's letter. As for the other herbs listed in the Princess's prescription, Ye Wu said he's made some progress and they'll be able to find them soon."

Thinking of Lin Jiu's letter, he continued, "Young Master Lin also sent word that after returning to the Valley of the Immortal Physician, he happened to meet the old Valley Master who was returning to the valley. He then relayed the prescription that the Princess Consort had given to the Prince to the old Valley Master. Young Master Lin Jiu said that his master is already on his way to Yu Nan City."

"Hehe, is that old guy Lin Wenchang finally coming out? He's been hiding in that shabby valley for so long!" Wu Ying asked cheerfully when he heard that the old valley master of the Immortal Doctor Valley was coming to Yu Nan City.

When Ye Shangyuan heard that the old valley master was coming to Yu Nan City, he was not surprised. Back then, when he was tricked by the enemy and his poison was aroused, his royal brother asked the old valley master of the Medicine Immortal Valley to come out of the mountains to help him treat the poison. Although he was not cured, he had suppressed the poison for many years.

Over the years, the old valley master has been dedicated to researching an antidote for this poison.

Now that he's heard that someone can cure the poison in his body, given the old valley master's dedication to medicine and his obsession with the poison, it would be strange if Ye Shangyuan didn't come to take a look!

Given Lin Jiu's nature, he would definitely tell the old valley master everything about Mu Xue being an ancient doctor, and the old valley master must be very curious about Mu Xue.

It has been almost a hundred years since any truly remarkable ancient physician has appeared in the four kingdoms.

There are also some physicians who can refine pills, like Wang Chi, but they can only refine some second-tier pills and are only barely at the level of an ancient medical apprentice.

The reason why the Yuan family of Xijin City was able to receive so much support after breaking away from the main family in the capital was entirely because they had a physician who could refine second-tier pills.

Because of Wang Chi's existence, the Yuan family in the capital also needed the elixirs supplied by the Yuan family in Xijin City. Therefore, Wang Chi not only held a high position in the Yuan family of Xijin City, but also in the Yuan family of the capital.

Before Mu Xue appeared, the second-tier pills refined by Wang Chi were extremely precious; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were hard to come by.

Mu Xue disrupted all of this. The pharmacy she opened in cooperation with the Wang family not only had a wide variety of pills, but also sold many high-level pills, although the quantity was limited.

The Treasure Pavilion also regularly auctions some rare, high-level pills.

To put it simply, for example, both are second-tier pills, Bone-Repairing Pill and Hemostatic Pill. Wang Chi's pills can only reach the middle grade, but Mu Xue provides Wang Baiqi with the high-grade ones, and the price is only less than 30% higher.
