A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Chapter 189 So captivated by the fragrance that he couldn't move.

After the pandemic, more and more people learned about Ling Shu Guan.

Every day when Zhou Ruo arrived at the clinic, there were already patients waiting for her.

However, because her spiritual healing abilities are quick, not many patients linger in the clinic.

On the contrary, it was more lively in front of Jia Yuntian's medicine cabinet.

If we don't use spiritual power to treat the patient, but instead use sensory diagnosis first, then prescribe medicine and get it dispensed, it will be much faster.

Gradually, Zhou Ruo wrote much faster, and she began to write prescriptions herself.

On this day, when Zhou Ruo was treating a patient, An Nan stood beside her.

Watching her babbling about the patient's symptoms, and then waving her little hand over the patient, the illness would be cured.

The patient paid the money and left with ease.

An Nan stared at the silver on the table for a long time, then occasionally stole glances at An Chang, who was sitting not far away drinking tea and talking to Zhao Jinzhong.

An Chang noticed that An Nan kept glancing in his direction, intentionally or unintentionally. He stopped the conversation and said to An Nan with some impatience,

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like this? Want money to buy candied hawthorns again? No, I don't have any, you're not allowed!"

Zhao Jinzhong gave An Chang a light kick under the table as a reminder to be gentle.

However, An Chang ignored him.

An Nan blushed slightly for a moment, then turned to face An Chang and said...

"Look how easily Zhou Ruo earns money, unlike you, every time you go out with the steward to collect some silver, you have to lie down for three days afterward."

She even told her mother how hard she worked.

An Nan crossed her arms in front of her chest, mimicking An Chang's manner and tone when she spoke ill of her, and continued,

"Look at Zhou Ruo again. In just a short while, she's earned two ingots of silver. You should learn from her!"

Zhao Jinzhong turned his face away, suppressing a laugh. He was finally seeing An Nan confront An Chang for once.

"You should learn from this!" This sounds so familiar.

It seems that just now, outside the door, An Chang said the same thing about An Nan.

An Chang was furious. He looked at the silver in front of Zhou Ruo, which was indeed obtained in just a few moments.

But he wouldn't allow An Nan to say that about him. He was the heir of the royal family, how could he be belittled in public by his annoying younger sister?

"An Nan, you child, watch your mouth! Don't make me beat you up when we get back to the manor!"

An Nan immediately chickened out. She made a face at An Chang and said, "Only officials are allowed to set fires, while common people are not allowed to light lamps."

She had just learned this phrase and was using it with An Chang.

An Chang wanted to teach An Nan another lesson, but Qian Lai ran in, interrupting the siblings' daily bickering.

"Young General! Young General!"

Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang stood up simultaneously and looked at Qian Lai, who was rushing in from outside the door in a panic.

"What's the matter that you're so panicked?" Zhao Jinzhong stepped forward and asked.

"We've found out! We finally know where those poisonous pills were taken!"

As Qian Lai spoke, Jia Yuntian came up and handed him a bowl of water, saying, "Have a sip of water, and speak slowly."

Qian Lai drank a whole bowl of water before continuing.

"We followed them three times. We lost them on the first trip when we reached the east side of the city."

I almost lost them on the second trip when we were almost at our destination.

To confirm it was the same location, we went a third time before finally pinpointing the spot.

An Chang eagerly asked, "What place is it?"

"Shuixianfang," Qian said.

"Shuixianfang?" Zhao Jinzhong had never heard of this place.

He then asked An Chang, "You know a lot of places, do you know Shuixianfang?"

An racked his brains, "The name sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it."

While listening to everyone's conversation, Zhou Ruo suddenly interrupted them and asked, "What kind of things are in that 'what's-his-name' place?"

Qian said, "We were afraid of alerting them, so we didn't go in. We don't know what's inside. But..."

"However, there was a very fragrant smell coming out, and Caiwang was almost so captivated by the aroma that he couldn't move."

"A fragrance?" Zhou Ruo's interest was piqued. "Is it the smell of medicine?"

As Qian Lai recalled, he said, "It doesn't quite smell like medicine. I've smelled a lot of medicine, but... it doesn't."

"Now that we know the location, shall we go and take a look?" Zhao Jinzhong said.

Qian Lai felt this was inappropriate. "Young General, that place is not suitable for entertaining guests. How can we go there?"

An Chang immediately understood Zhao Jinzhong's meaning: "If we can't go during the day, we can always go at night!"

Qian Lai had never seen Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang's skills, but he felt that although the two bosses were not old, they were quite bold.

"These two masters are truly extraordinary; they are indeed valiant young men!"

Just after the third watch of the night, two figures dressed in black leaped from the high wall into the courtyard of Shuixianfang.

No wonder An Chang found the name Shuixianfang familiar.

This place is not far from the Prince An's residence. If An Chang enters the palace, he usually passes through Shuixianfang by carriage.

The only difference is that the plaque for Shuixianfang has been made into stone doorposts, with the name of the archway engraved on the stone.

Despite being plated with gold paint, the lettering is still very thin.

Even if you were passing by in a horse-drawn carriage, you might not notice that there was such a market town.

An Chang often passed by, and even though it was inconspicuous, after seeing it a few times, An Chang still remembered it.

Shuixianfang did indeed exude a peculiar fragrance, like a mixture of medicinal and floral scents.

Zhao Jinzhong couldn't tell, but he felt that Zhou Ruo should be able to identify the components in the fragrance.

Looking at the unusually quiet courtyard, An Chang looked up at the moon overhead and whispered something.

"Young General, I feel that the Moon Palace is even more interesting than this courtyard."

Apart from a burly man guarding the main gate, the courtyard, which was neither too big nor too small, was almost deserted.

"We probably won't find anything interesting on this trip."

Zhao Jinzhong didn't pay much attention to An Chang's words. "Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Look carefully, maybe we'll find some fish."

"But that house only has one door, and someone's guarding it; we can't get in at all!"

An Chang looked at the layout of Shuixianfang and felt overwhelmed.

Just as Zhao Jinzhong was about to use a feint to lure the burly guards away, a man came out of the house and said to the guards,

"Keep a close eye on things these next few days! The Empress will personally come to inspect the goods on the eve of the full moon, so there can't be any mishaps!"

The burly man, who appeared somewhat arrogant from afar, bowed and scraped before the lean young man in front of him.

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, young master, even if I don't eat, drink, or sleep, I will definitely take good care of Shui Xian Fang!"

"Alright!" the lean young man said with satisfaction, pointing at the burly man. "A generous reward will follow once it's done!"

"Oh, thank you so much, young master! Thank you so much, young master!"

The burly man initially found the job tedious and boring, but upon hearing about the generous reward, the job instantly became anything but boring!

He brandished his fists and feet in the yard in front of the house, putting in his best effort.

"An Chang, did you hear that?" Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang hid behind a tree and heard the conversation between the burly man and the lean boy clearly.

"I heard you. Before the full moon, Your Majesty, inspect the goods." An Chang succinctly summarized this important information.

But then he wondered if he had misheard. "Your Majesty, oh, Jinzhong, how could it be Your Majesty? Is it some lady from the palace?"

An Chang said that he himself could not believe that the empress mentioned by the skinny young man would have any connection with the palace.

"Let's go, we'll go back and reconsider." Zhao Jinzhong pushed An Chang away.

There are only three days left until the full moon, and then we will know who the "Empress" is.

Zhao Jinzhong kept wondering to himself if this "Empress" might be Consort Yu.

After leaving Shuixianfang, the two instructed Qian Lai and his brothers to keep a close eye on what was happening inside.

That night, Wang Yucong's men brought another box of pills into Shuixianfang.

"They've been dumping pills into this place for three days in a row. What are they planning to do with so many poisonous pills?"

Caiwang couldn't understand it.

However, because they had personally witnessed Jia Guozhang being framed by the imperial court, they were wary of such cases involving medicinal herbs that were fraught with intrigue.

Qian Lai and Cai Wang and their brothers would subconsciously feel worried, and even a little scared.
