Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Chapter 21 Eating Pills Like Candy

As the moon set behind the western mountains, Mu Xue wearily opened the door from inside the house.

"Ah!" A dark figure stood firmly in the doorway, startling Mu Xue.

"Hey, Miss, you're finally out." Su Su was also startled awake by Mu Xue's voice.

"Susu, what are you doing at the door? Why don't you come inside and sleep if you're sleepy?" Mu Xue asked, puzzled.

Su Su rubbed her eyes. "Miss, I'm not sleepy. Miss, you haven't eaten all day. Are you hungry? Granny is keeping your food warm."

Mu Xue felt a warmth in her heart. In her previous life, she had always been alone, and no one had ever cared whether she was hungry or cold. She never expected that she would feel the warmth of this world in this new life.

"Now that you mention it, I am indeed a little hungry. Let's go eat." Mu Xue looked at Su Su with a smile.

As soon as the door opened, Granny Kang had already instructed the small kitchen to prepare.

Mu Xue excitedly ran to Granny Kang and took out a white porcelain bottle, which Su Su had brought back with her when she went out to buy medicine that morning.

"Granny, this is for you. It's a fifth-grade high-quality Heavenly Spirit Pill, a top-grade medicine for nourishing the body." Mu Xue presented it to Granny Kang as if it were a treasure.

Granny Kang's hand trembled, almost dropping the porcelain bottle. She asked in a trembling voice, "Miss said this is a pill? Is it the pill I'm thinking of?"

Su Su stared at Mu Xue with wide eyes in disbelief.

Mu Xue slumped in the chair, too lazy to move. She replied, "If you're talking about ancient medical elixirs, then this is it."

That calm tone suddenly exploded like a thunderclap in their hearts.

Kang Mama suddenly placed the porcelain bottle in her hand in front of Mu Xue. Mu Xue waved her hands repeatedly and stepped back, saying, "No, this old servant cannot accept it. This is too precious."

Even the usually composed Granny Kang was stammering, which showed how frightened she was.

SuSu's jaw hasn't closed yet.

Mu Xue sighed: "Granny, are you trying to belittle me? What's so precious about this Heavenly Spirit Pill? You're my nanny, even if you throw it at me like a pebble, I can handle it."

Hearing Mu Xue's boastful tone, Kang Mama's heart skipped a beat.

In her previous life, she refined these fifth-tier pills just to eat as snacks. Before transmigrating, she was already trying to refine tenth-tier pills.

Granny Kang clutched her chest, breathing heavily, which made Mu Xue anxious: "Granny, are you alright?"

"If Miss stops scaring me like this, how many more years can I live?" Granny Kang took a few deep breaths.

Ancient medicine disappeared without a trace a hundred years ago, and the elixirs of ancient medicine have long been lost. Every elixir that exists now is priceless. Judging from the sound of the bottle that Mu Xue took out, there were at least ten or so elixirs. Whether Kang Mama didn't have Mu Xue's elixirs or not, the rich medicinal fragrance was enough to prove it.

Granny Kang felt she still had to tell Mu Xue about the preciousness of the pill, otherwise she was afraid that her young lady would really treat it like a pebble to play with.

“Miss, there are very few pills made by ancient doctors left in the world. The royal family only has three seventh-grade superior Wuji Life-Extending Pills. Back then, when the late emperor was seriously ill, he only used one pill and it extended his life for three years. The efficacy of this pill can be seen. Although the Heavenly Spirit Pill has a different effect, you still have to be careful. We are weak and helpless now, so everything should be done with caution…” Kang Mama did not say it explicitly, but Mu Xue probably understood.

"Don't worry, Granny, I added a sugar coating to the pills. If you don't believe me, try it and see if it tastes like candy. You can eat it like candy from now on," Mu Xue comforted her.

Unable to dissuade Mu Xue, Granny Kang carefully poured out a pill and put it in her mouth, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's so sweet!"

Su Su snapped out of her daze and looked curiously at the colorful pills in the bottle that resembled candies.

She looked at Mu Xue, her eyes shining, as if to say, "Where's mine?"

Mu Xue pinched Su Su's chubby cheeks and took out a white porcelain bottle from her bosom: "How could we forget our Su Su?"

Su Su accepted it with delight: "Thank you, Miss." Then, she couldn't wait to pop one into her mouth. The pill melted instantly in her mouth, sweet and delightful, making her eyes light up.

When Granny Kang saw Mu Xue pulling out pills as if they were free, her face twitched. She suddenly realized that her young mistress was spending a lot of money!

This girl Susu is really daring to eat! She's already eaten three or four pieces in just a short time. She's eating them like candy!

Looking at these two fools, Granny Kang thought, "Fine, I'm numb to it. Let them do whatever they want."

"What do you plan to do with these pills?" Granny Kang asked, looking at the three smaller porcelain bottles that Mu Xue had taken out.

"I plan to buy these three bottles. These three bottles of Heavenly Spirit Pills are of medium grade and don't taste good. I'll sell them to get some money so I can attend the Treasure Pavilion's auction tomorrow." Mu Xue looked at the three bottles of pills with some disdain.

"Treasure Pavilion? Is there something you want, Miss? But there's no invitation to the Mu family this year, so how will you get there?" Granny Kang asked in surprise.

Mu Xue smiled confidently, raising her eyebrows slightly: "Who said I was going shopping?"

"Ah!" Su Su exclaimed excitedly, "Miss is going to sell pills." After saying that, she looked at Mu Xue with a smug expression, as if to say, "Praise me, I'm so smart."

Mu Xue cooperated, patting Su Su's head: "Hmm, our Su Su is so smart, she can even answer the questions first, that's great!"

The atmosphere in Yuyue Garden was harmonious and joyful, but Mu Jiaojiao was somewhat irritable.

The news of the Treasure Pavilion's auction has been circulating for over half a month, featuring many rare and precious treasures, including a Grade 4 Rejuvenating Pill that she has long coveted.

In the past, Mo Shijie would send people to deliver fine clothes and ornaments well in advance, but with the auction date approaching and the Prince Jing's mansion still not making a move, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

"It must be that little bitch Mu Xue who made Brother Mo unhappy." Mu Jiaojiao paced back and forth in the room anxiously, feeling uneasy.

"Shishu, do you think Brother Mo doesn't like me anymore?" Mu Jiaojiao asked worriedly, as she still liked Brother Mo very much.

The maidservant dared not be negligent and hurriedly replied, "Miss, Young Master Mo is devoted to you, but perhaps he is just busy with other matters."

"Hmph, that's for the best," Mu Jiaojiao said with a haughty snort.

Mu Jiaojiao is arrogant and spoiled, and she treats her servants with beatings and scoldings. She doesn't even show mercy to her two maids, Shishu and Shihua, who grew up with her. Shihua was beaten for no reason when she came back because of the incident at Meishiju last time, and she is still unable to get out of bed.

Shi Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Mu Jiaojiao was not going to persist. It seemed that she still had to send a message to Prince Mo.

As the sun set and the last glimmer of light disappeared from the earth, Mu Xue changed into a black outfit, a black cloak covering her completely.

In a flash, Mu Xue's figure disappeared behind the back wall of Yu Yue Garden.

She didn't head straight for the Treasure Pavilion. Instead, she observed from the shadows on North Street for a long time before leisurely strolling over there just as the Treasure Pavilion was about to close.

"Excuse me, sir, we're closing." A middle-aged man who looked like the shopkeeper stepped forward and said.

"Shopkeeper, I have something here, I wonder if you would accept it?" Mu Xue deliberately changed her tone of voice and lowered her voice.

The shopkeeper noticed the ordinary porcelain bottle in Mu Xue's hand, something you could see anywhere.

He had a vague feeling that the contents of this porcelain bottle were extraordinary, and it was this feeling that led him to make several fruitful gains, which ultimately resulted in his current position as the deputy manager of the Treasure Pavilion.

He didn't dare to refuse rashly. After hesitating for a moment, he bowed slightly and invited Mu Xue in: "Wait a moment, I will ask Master Zong to come out."

Master Zong actually came to Yu Nan City?

Speaking of Master Zong, Mu Xue had seen him in the "Who's Who" book. He was a master appraiser and now resided at the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion in the capital. She never expected him to come to the auction in Yu Nan City.

This auction is something to look forward to.
