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

"Young Master Huang...Young Master Lu...Are you still there?" Green Medicine's urgent voice came from not far away.

"We're here!" Jiang Qingyan stood up and waved in the direction of the green herbs.

Green Medicine jogged over and, seeing Lu Nian collapsed on the ground, rushed forward to check on her, letting out a slight sigh of relief.

"Luckily, everyone's alright, but this medicine..." Green Medicine dipped her index finger into the powder scattered on the ground, brought it to her nose, and smelled it. "It's actually Zhenyu Powder!"

Green Medicine glanced at Lu Nian in surprise, then looked back at the two people behind her, frowning as she asked, "Who exactly are you? Why do you have my father's secret medicine? Do you know where my father is?"

Green Medicine's ancestors were the best imperial physicians in the palace, a lineage passed down through generations. However, in her father's lineage, only Green Medicine was born, and Green Medicine's mother died during childbirth...

To care for Green Medicine, Old Master Green had to give up his chance to enter the palace and instead opened a pharmacy in the city with his daughter, treating the sick and saving lives. But Old Master Green's medical skills surpassed those of his ancestors, and the people respectfully called him the Immortal Healer Green…

Based on the records left by his predecessors over many years, he painstakingly studied and finally created a miraculous medicine for repairing wounds—Zhenyu Powder. Because he was afraid that it would be used by people with ulterior motives, this medicine has never been sold on the market.

Her father's secret medicine? Jiang Qingyan looked puzzled, then tilted her head and stared at Yi Luo. Since he knew that Lu Nian had this medicine, he must also know its origin.

Yi Luo pondered for a moment, then looked at Lü Yao and said, "A year ago, when Lu Nian and I went to war against Xia Kingdom, we rescued a group of hostages, all of whom were healers. Among them was an old man with a white beard, who must be Lü Yao's father... This bottle of top-grade wound medicine was a gift from him..."

"Then where did my father go?" Green Medicine stood up, staring intently at Yi Luo, her tone even more anxious. Her father would never show this medicine to anyone, let alone a whole bottle…

Yi Luo pursed her lips, her eyes darting around, and stammered, "Your father... he's dead..."

"Dead?" Green Medicine's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could he be dead? Tell me what happened!"

Yi Luo lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "After we rescued him and brought him back to the camp, he remained unconscious. He passed away not long after. Before he died, he gave this bottle of medicine to Lu Nian..."

After saying that, Yi Luo seemed to remember something and continued, "Oh right, there's another letter! It said it was to be delivered to the owner of the Green Family Pharmacy! But when we got there, the pharmacy had already been smashed to pieces by the Xia soldiers, and the owner was nowhere to be found..."

"The letter? Is it still there?" Green Medicine asked expectantly, then her eyes suddenly dimmed. A year... how could the letter still be there...

That was a letter her father had written to her… That day she went into the mountains to gather herbs and happened to be away from the pharmacy, thus luckily escaping Xia Bing's persecution… But because of this, she missed her father's last letter…

"Don't worry, young lady, the letter is currently in Lu Nian's residence. Once we return to Da'an, we will definitely deliver the letter to you!" Yi Luo said hurriedly.

Green Medicine nodded excitedly, lowered her eyes, and tears streamed down her face.

Jiang Qingyan watched from the side, and a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.

She put her arm around Green Bud's shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "Green Bud, please accept my condolences... The deceased is gone, you must live well, so that your father can rest in peace..."

Green Medicine nodded silently, but she couldn't control the sadness in her heart. She turned around and hugged Jiang Qingyan tightly, burying her head in her chest and bursting into tears...

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Nian was awakened by crying. He opened his eyes, and the pain from his wounds subsided. He even felt that he could stand up on his own…

"What's wrong with Green Medicine Girl?" Lu Nian's puzzled voice reached everyone's ears.

Green Medicine paused, then quickly pulled away from Jiang Qingyan's embrace... Lost in her grief, she had forgotten the proper order between men and women... especially with Young Master Lu still present...

Jiang Qingyan gently patted Lvyao's back, walked to Lu Nian's side, and held his arm, asking with concern, "Lu Nian, how does your wound feel? Is it any better?"

Lu Nian smiled and nodded. "I feel much better. I can even stand up on my own now." She glanced at the medicine bottle in Jiang Qingyan's hand and immediately understood. No wonder her injuries were mostly healed; it seemed Jiang Qingyan knew everything…

"By the way, Lu Nian, do you know that this bottle of medicine was given to you by Green Medicine's father? Yi Luo has already given a general account of what happened," Jiang Qingyan asked. "But why did Xia Bing arrest so many doctors? Why did he go so far as to smash up the Green Family Pharmacy?"

Lu Nian glanced at the sobbing Green Medicine, and immediately understood. He sighed softly, a murderous glint in his eyes, and said resentfully:

"It was King Xia. A year ago, he came to Da'an disguised. He was seriously injured but was unexpectedly saved by Elder Lü. He recovered in three days. This was the medicine he used at the time!"

Lu Nian clenched his fist and continued, "That King Xia was despicable and shameless. He immediately captured Elder Green and brought him back to Xia Kingdom, forcing him to produce large quantities of medicine. After Elder Green learned of his identity, he knew that if King Xia obtained this medicine, our Great An Kingdom would be in danger, so he refused to comply even at the cost of his life..."

After hearing Lu Nian's words, Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. Senior Green was so patriotic that he was willing to sacrifice his own life...

Jiang Qingyan gritted her teeth, secretly vowing that she would make the Xia Kingdom submit to her, and avenge Elder Lü and all the fallen Imperial Guards…

"So Xia Bing came here... to find Green Medicine Girl?" Yi Luo suddenly realized. "It's been a year, and they still haven't given up. They even managed to find this place... Could it be that they're going to wipe them out?"

Green Medicine sniffed, her voice trembling with tears:

"When I returned to the pharmacy that day, everyone there had been arrested by Xia Bing, leaving only Doctor Yang, who had fought desperately, lying on the ground, barely alive... When I got back, she was clinging to her last breath, only telling me to run quickly, to hide, anywhere would be fine..."

Green Medicine wiped away her tears and continued:

"I don't know what happened, I only know it's very serious. I ran all the way and finally hid here... thinking that since this is the border between Southern Xinjiang and Da'an, Xia Bing shouldn't be able to find me..."

Jiang Qingyan touched her head, feeling somewhat irritated. It seemed they couldn't stay here any longer. She patted Lvyao's shoulder and asked softly, "Lvyao, would you like to come with us?"

Green Medicine wiped away her tears with her sleeve, looked up at Jiang Qingyan, and asked excitedly, "Young Master Huang, are you really willing to take me with you?"

Jiang Qingyan smiled and nodded at her, "Xia Bing is very likely to return. It's too dangerous here, we can't stay any longer. Let's leave now."

After saying that, Green Herb jogged back to the medicine hut, quickly packed a few things, and the four of them embarked on their journey back to the city together…
