I didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but I accidentally glanced at it and saw someone who looked somewhat familiar.

"Doctor, please open the door, save my mother, please open the door, please~" A little girl kept banging on the door of a clinic, while an old woman with her eyes closed leaned against a pillar behind her.

With a creak, the door to the clinic opened.

A head popped out from inside, and an angry voice said, "What are you yelling about in the middle of the night?"

When the little girl saw the door open, she immediately rushed forward, her voice filled with urgency, on the verge of tears, "Doctor, please save my mother! My mother is dying!"

The boy who opened the door initially wanted to shoo her away when he saw it was a little girl, but then he heard her say she was saving her mother.

Then I saw that there was indeed a seriously ill old woman leaning against the back, and I couldn't help but think of my own mother. "You wait!"

After saying that, he stuck his head inside and slammed the door shut.

The little girl wanted to knock on the door again, but after realizing what the boy had said, she immediately stopped and paced anxiously back and forth at the door.

After walking for a while, he came down the steps again, supporting the old woman, "Mom, Mom, you have to hold on, the doctor will be here soon."

A moment later, the door creaked open again, and the doctor and the boy came out.

The little girl's eyes were filled with pleading when she saw the doctor. "Doctor, please, please take a look at my mother!"

The doctor reassured the little girl, "Calm down, calm down~"

After saying that, he stepped forward to take the old woman's pulse.

After taking her pulse, the doctor's expression turned grim. He then sighed, "Young lady, your mother's illness and injuries are very serious, and I am powerless to help."

The little girl burst into tears, "No, doctor, you can do it! Please, save my mother, doctor! I'll do anything for you from now on!"

The doctor was also in a dilemma. "Young lady, it's not that I don't want to save you, but your mother's injuries are too serious. Even if I can wake her up, she can only hold on for a while and won't last much longer."

The little girl cried very sadly, "Doctor, please, please let my mother wake up~" She wanted her mother to wake up so that she could see this world one more time and see her beloved daughter.

The doctor examined the little girl and carefully spoke, "Little girl, your mother's illness has spread to her heart and lungs. In addition, she was hit in the abdomen and back, her chest bones are broken, and there is blood in her body. To save her, ordinary medicine cannot achieve the desired effect, and I will also need to borrow silver needles. Even with my wealth, I may not be able to borrow them."

The little girl was stunned, then immediately pulled out all the valuables she had on her, money and hairpins, "Doctor, please, please, this is all I have."

The doctor shook his head, "Young lady~"

The little girl immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "Doctor, please, please, I will repay you by serving you like a slave, and I will do whatever you want with me."

The doctor looked very troubled. "Young lady, this old man...sigh..."

The doctor let out a heavy sigh.

At this moment, Qin Wanyou took out a gold ingot and handed it to the doctor, asking, "Is this enough?"

The doctor, the little girl, and the child were all startled. How did this person suddenly appear?

But when the little girl saw the gold, she looked at the doctor with hopeful eyes.

The doctor looked at the gold and shook his head again, "We need two more ingots of gold like this."

The little girl's eyes immediately lost their light.

Besides, I might not be able to earn this much gold in my next life.

Qin Wanyou took out two gold ingots and handed them to the doctor, saying, "Treat her!"

The young girl immediately kowtowed to Qin Wanyou, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss. From now on, if you want Si'er to go east, I will never go west. I'd even be willing to die for you!"

"We'll talk about the future later, let's treat your mother first!" Then Qin Wanyou looked at the doctor, "I want to ask the doctor about something later, don't worry, it's about medicine, nothing harmful."

The doctor had the boy and the girl carry the person into the house and invited Qin Wanyou to come in with them.

After entering the room, the doctor instructed the boy to prepare the medicine and told the girl to look after her mother while he went to get the medicine.

Only Qin Wanyou was temporarily unharmed. After settling her mother, the young girl knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Wanyou, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, Miss. I will never forget it. If there is anything you need in the future, please give me your orders. I will definitely do my best without hesitation."

Qin Wanyou gave the little girl a bag of silver and whispered, "Tomorrow, go to Yulingfang on Liuan Street in the west of the city and buy the two adjacent courtyards next to the Li family mansion in your name. You and your mother can live in the smaller courtyard first, and the larger courtyard will remain empty. I will come to find you later."

The young girl kowtowed to Qin Wanyou again, saying, "This servant will certainly do it, thank you, Miss!"

Qin Wanyou didn't reveal her personal information, and the young girl didn't ask any further questions.

Afterwards, Qin Wanyou looked around the clinic, but before she could finish, the doctor came in with silver needles.

After giving the old woman acupuncture, the doctor wiped his sweat and said, "After the medicine is brewed, give it to your mother. Tomorrow I will borrow silver needles to give her another acupuncture session so she can wake up. During this time, you must take good care of your mother."

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you!" Si'er thanked the doctor again.

The doctor waved his hand, then looked at Qin Wanyou, "What would you like to ask this old man, young lady?"

Qin Wanyou didn't beat around the bush, "Doctor, I want to ask what the Hidden Spirit Grass looks like? Do you have a picture of it?"

The doctor's heart skipped a beat. "Young lady, the Hidden Spirit Grass is no ordinary thing. I have never seen it in person, only in books."

"Does the doctor still remember the description of the Hidden Spirit Grass?"

Finally, the doctor truthfully told Qin Wan what the Hidden Spirit Herb looked like.

Seeing that it was already past dawn, Qin Wanyou did not linger. After learning what she wanted to know, she immediately left the clinic and rushed back to the Right Prime Minister's residence.

The next evening, Qin Wanyou arrived at the courtyard that Si'er had bought.

but,

What I saw was my fourth son, dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling in the corner of the yard, holding an urn of ashes and crying.

She didn't put the urn inside the house, but cried in the yard outside.

When Si'er saw Qin Wanyou, she burst into tears, "Miss, I...I'm sorry, but I didn't bring my mother..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Wanyou interrupted, "Let's set up a mourning hall for your mother inside."

"Miss, this is a new...newly bought house." Si'er couldn't believe that Qin Wanyou would say such a thing.

Qin Wanyou explained, "Isn't a house for people to live in? Whether they are living or... dead, they are all people."

"Thank you, miss, thank you, miss!"

Si'er kept kowtowing to Qin Wanyou.

Then Si'er moved her mother's ashes into the house, hung up a white banner, and set up a simple mourning hall.

Qin Wanyou put down a burden, gave a few instructions, and then returned to the Right Prime Minister's residence to recuperate.

I need to be well-rested because I don't know if I'll be able to steal the Hidden Spirit Grass tomorrow night.

Meanwhile, the Regent's Palace is also making intensive arrangements to ensure protection by deploying personnel in layers upon layers of facilities.

"Your Highness, everything is arranged. This time, we will make sure they never return." Mo Dong, the head of the four guards of the Regent's Palace, reported to the elegant and aloof figure standing before him.

The figure, seemingly riding the wind, slowly turned around. His fair face, with its distinct features and clear, handsome features, once held sharp, phoenix-shaped eyes, now only showing a detached indifference that seemed to have seen through life and death. Beneath his high, straight nose, his thin lips parted slightly, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"This is what I should do."

"Go and get some rest first; tomorrow night will be a tough battle."

"Yes, Your Highness, I shall take my leave."

The room fell silent.

Wang Mama looked at the strong child with heartache, "Young master, you've been working all day, and it's getting late. You should go to bed and rest early. You need to get some rest."

"I'm fine, Granny. You should go back and get some rest too." Murong Xiao's calm tone was tinged with numbness. "Starting tomorrow night, I'll have several days to sleep. I want to watch more now."

Granny Wang left the study, tears welling in her eyes.

Silence fell over the room once again.

Murong Xiao looked out the window at the sky.

The waning moon gradually disappeared into the clouds and vanished into darkness.
