Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

After a long time, the two walked deep into the woods and finally found two small houses built of bamboo. The outside of the houses was full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, making it look more like a paradise.

This place is remote and well-hidden by trees, making it difficult for the average person to find. It's a great hiding place, no wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long...

"Who goes outside? Why are you trespassing into my medicine hut?" A sharp female voice suddenly rang out from inside a bamboo hut.

“Don’t worry, young lady, we’re here to find someone.” Jiang Qingyan explained in a very calm tone, “We heard that you rescued someone from the bottom of the cliff a few days ago. That’s the twin brother of the handsome guy next to me, the one who looks exactly like him.”

The door of the bamboo house was pushed open, and a beautiful young woman with a somewhat aloof appearance slowly walked out. She was wearing a long green dress, her long, soft black hair was casually tied up, and a small gourd-shaped bamboo basket was tied around her waist.

She carefully examined the two people in front of her. One had an ordinary appearance with no distinguishing features... while the other... was indeed as handsome as that young master...

They're definitely brothers!

"Come with me." The girl said in a calm tone, then walked to another bamboo house and said to the person inside, "Young master, your brother has come to find you."

Brother? Where did he get a brother? Lu Nian was puzzled. He clutched his bandaged chest, struggled to sit up, and looked towards the door…

Upon seeing that face so identical to his own… it was Yi Luo! He had returned from the Southern Frontier, and had come looking for him…

Lu Nian's eyes were full of joy, and she quickly invited him to sit down. Then her gaze fell on Jiang Qingyan, who had an ordinary appearance, standing to the side...

A question arose in his mind... Why did Yi Luo bring a man he had never seen before with him?

Upon seeing that Lu Nian was still alive, Jiang Qingyan immediately rushed over excitedly, hugged him tightly, and then suddenly stood up, cupped his face, and showered him with kisses...

Immediately, everyone in the room except Jiang Qingyan had a black line on their face...

The woman's inner monologue: No wonder that young master wasn't interested in me at all and never mentioned repaying me with his body. It turns out he's a homosexual... But this man's appearance... is too ordinary! He's not worthy of the young master at all!

Yi Luo's inner monologue: No wonder the emperor of a nation personally came to the Southern Frontier to find Lu Nian, so that's what their relationship is... I'd heard the emperor was fond of men, but I thought it was just a fling with the regent... I didn't expect him to be involved with Lu Nian too... Lu Nian's been keeping it a secret pretty well...

Lu Nian's inner monologue: What is this plain-looking man doing to me? Get out of here! Why is Yi Luo just standing there watching? Pull him away! If I weren't so badly injured and weak, I would have killed him with one blow!

A moment later, Jiang Qingyan made sure she had kissed Lu Nian all over his face before letting go of him. Then she noticed the dense bandages wrapped around his body and her eyes were filled with heartache.

She gently stroked Lu Nian's chest and said softly, "Lu Nian, how did you get so badly injured? Did you use your best wound medicine? How are you recovering?"

Lu Nian frowned, laboriously raised her arm to wipe her face, which was covered in saliva, and said with a tone full of disgust, "It's really kind of you to go to such trouble, brother! Thank you for your concern!"

His mother had traveled a long way to see him and showed him kindness and concern, so why was he reacting like this? Jiang Qingyan was quite displeased, and suddenly realized that she was currently wearing that ordinary-looking face…

Haha! I was so happy that I completely forgot I was still wearing that ordinary-looking human skin mask! No wonder Lu Nian was so disgusted with it…

Jiang Qingyan ripped off the human skin mask, revealing her original, unparalleled face. The girl beside her was instantly stunned... Could there really be such a stunningly beautiful man in the world?

When she first found the injured Lu Nian, she was stunned by his appearance. She hadn't expected him to pale in comparison to the person before her… Now she finally understood why such a handsome young man would be attracted to men…

"Your Majesty..." Lu Nian was full of surprise, even a little stunned... It was the Emperor... The Emperor actually came to see him in person!

“That’s right~ I’m your Brother Huang~” Jiang Qingyan said with an embarrassed smile.

We still don't know who this woman is, and in this desolate place, we absolutely cannot reveal our identities...

"Brother Huang..." Lu Nian murmured, a slight blush creeping onto her face.

Hearing "Brother Huang" sent chills down Yi Luo's spine. He quickly stepped forward to interrupt, "Lu Nian, what happened? How are your injuries?"

"It's alright." Lu Nian shifted his body slightly to make room for Jiang Qingyan and Yi Luo, gesturing for them to sit down. He then shifted to a more comfortable position, lying on his side. His voice was somewhat weak:

"Three days ago, when I passed by this place, I was ambushed by Xia soldiers and fell to the bottom of the cliff... Luckily, I was fortunate enough to meet this green-haired girl, who rescued me and settled me in this herb hut..."

Yi Luo stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Lü Yao, and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Miss Lü Yao, for saving my younger brother!"

Jiang Qingyan also got up and walked towards Lvyao. She took out a gold ingot from her pocket, took Lvyao's hand, placed the gold in her hand, and said with gratitude in her voice, "Thank you so much, Miss!"

Green Medicine lowered her eyes to look at Jiang Qingyan's hand holding hers, and the warm touch instantly sent shivers down her spine... The moment Jiang Qingyan released her hand, the gold fell straight to the ground...

Jiang Qingyan raised an eyebrow. She remembered reading in novels that pharmacists like her, who lived deep in the mountains, were usually disdainful of money. Giving gold directly seemed abrupt…

Jiang Qingyan bent down, picked up the gold, casually placed it on the table, and explained:

“I know you are no ordinary person, and my brother’s life cannot be bought with any amount of gold.” Jiang Qingyan stared intently at the green herb and continued:

“My younger brother is not fully recovered and is not fit to move yet. We brothers cannot leave him here alone, so we will trouble you for a few more days. Consider this gold as food expenses for the three of us. What do you think?”

Green Medicine paused, a flicker of secret joy crossing her heart. This young master said they would stay here for a few more days… wouldn't that mean she could see that stunning face for a few more days…?

Seeing that Lvyao didn't speak, Jiang Qingyan continued:

"Don't worry, young lady. That's just for food. You still have to repay the life-saving grace. I can promise to do something for you. As long as it's not murder or arson and doesn't violate any moral principles, I'll do anything."

Having said that, he pulled a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Lvyao, saying, "Consider this a token."

This time, Jiang Qingyan was smarter. She wouldn't let go unless Lüyao reached out to catch it. Gold wouldn't break, but this jade pendant... it would shatter into pieces the moment it hit the ground...

A flicker of joy flashed in Green Medicine's eyes, and she murmured, "A token..."

Anything is acceptable? Even marrying her, young master, would be acceptable?

Green Medicine clenched her fists, wondering what she was thinking. The young master was attracted to men, and he didn't like women…

After calming herself down, Green Plum reached out and took the jade pendant, raising her eyes to ask, "Young Master, do you keep your word? Is anything possible?"

Jiang Qingyan nodded quickly: "It counts, it absolutely counts!"

"Alright, young master, don't forget your promise today." After saying that, Green Medicine carefully put the jade pendant away from her body, then picked up the gold on the table and weighed it in her hand.

"Young masters, please chat first. I'll go to the market to buy some wine and dishes. With this much money for food, you'll definitely eat and drink well!" After saying this, Green Medicine left the medicine hut.
