On the streets of Wangdu, there is a scene
of rich, prosperity and power.
Streets and alleys are arranged in
crisscross pattern, full of pedestrians coming and going. On both sides of the
street, some small stalls of different sizes can be found everywhere. The
sounds of street Hawkers shouting, people's conversation, and various voices
are mixed together to depict a lively scene of the capital.
The sun hangs lazily in the air. Under its
light, even the bluestone roads are shining brightly. The air is warm and makes
people feel very comfortable.
Wangdu, she never thought that she would
have a chance to set foot on the street here again. Since she was imprisoned in
the cold palace for eight years, her heart seems to be dead. At the moment, her
heart, which has been silent for a long time, can't help but be infected by the
lively atmosphere. Even her mood seems lightened.
An Niang follows Nangong Yue and
stares at her closely, as if afraid that she will disappear in a blink of an
eye.
Although Nangong Yue was dazzled, she did
not forget the purpose of her trip. According to the direction in her memory,
she seems to walk through several busy streets to her real destination.
This is a family pharmacy located in the
center of Wangdu. It has a long-standing brand, good location and good
reputation. Because it's been handed down from oral teaching. There's an endless
stream of patients.
In the drugstore, several assistants are
sorting out the drugs. The dried herbs gave a strong smell of herbal
medicine. Nangong Yue can't help sniffing nostalgically and thought of her Waizufu's
house. Waizufu’s house is always smell like this. Unconsciously, she
has been used to it and nostalgia for this medicinal smell.
At the door of the drug store, a doctor in
a green robe and a square cloth cap was sitting behind a square table, taking
the pulse of the patient. He seems to be young, he should be less than thirty.
Sitting across the table from the doctor
was a middle-aged married woman in her early forties. The woman was covering
her stomach with one hand, her face was full of pain, and even her forehead was
covered with sweat.
The young doctor pondered for a moment and
took the pulse checking right hand away from the woman's wrist, looking
thoughtful.
"Dr. Li," said the woman, with
her face awry with pain, "what's wrong with me?"
"Don't worry, it's just normal
diarrhea. I'll prescribe a prescription for you, and you can grab the medicine
later." Dr. Li said, took a piece of jute paper, and wrote, "Guizhi,
Agrimony, Liu Shenqu, Dried Ginger, Fu ling, Yindi Jue... Six doses, two doses a
day."
Dr. Li was about to put down his pen, and a
clear voice rang in his ear: "Your prescription is a bit wrong!"
Dr. Li was startled. Similarly, the people
who heard from the side also cast curious eyes. They saw a little girl standing
at side of the square table didn't know when to stand. Her white and rosy skin
was broken. Her eyes were big and bright. Although she was still young, could
already see that she must be a beauty when she grew up.
Under normal circumstances, it's very
difficult for you to be angry with such a lovely face, but in this situation,
Dr. Li has to doubt whether the little girl has a different purpose and
intentionally comes to their pharmacy to make trouble in public.
Seeing the patients in line behind and the
onlookers whispering to each other, Dr. Li was even more displeased and mocked:
"Where is the kid came from and talking nonsense!"
Nangong Yue didn't intend to get entangled
with him too much. However, An Niang beside her could not tolerate her
young lady being despised. She stepped forward like a fighter, "Since my
family is San...Shan'er says that your prescription is wrong. It must be
wrong." An Niang's trust in Nangong Yue is blind and
unconditional, which makes Nangong Yue’s heart warm.
"Auntie An, don't have to talk to him,
I'm just telling my opinion." Nangong Yue smiles indifferently and turned
to walk into the drugstore.
She said this, which made Dr. Li more and
more suspicious that she had come to make trouble in public on purpose. She
grabbed Nangong Yue's arm angrily and said, “little girl, since you say that my
prescription is not right, what evidence do you have? If you can't tell us reason,
you're trying to discredit the reputation of our pharmacy!”
This Li family pharmacy has been open for
some years. It has been recognized by the common people for its doctors excellent medical skills and reasonable price of herbs. The doctors here are
also known as famous doctors.
As soon as Doctor. Li said this, most of
the onlookers also felt that the little girl was only eight or nine years old.
How could she possibly understand medical skills? She must have come to make
trouble.
"You are so rude," An Niang excitedly
tried to pull away Doctor Li. "Let go of my family San ... Shan'er!”
Doctor Li soon realized that his action was
not proper, so he quickly let go of Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue had nothing to say for a while.
The questioning eyes around her made her feel unhappy. She said in her heart:
As expected, she is too young, so no one believes what she said. But Nangong Yue
was not interested in proving herself to irrelevant people, and said lightly:
"Believe it or not!"
Dr. Li's face sank and he wanted to say
something, but he heard an impatient male voice saying, "little girl, will you enter or not?" The voice
clearly belonged to a teenager, but it was pleasant to the ear but could not
conceal the impetuousness.
As soon as the voice fell, there was
already an eleven or twelve-year-old boy in purple robe beside them. It was
clear that it was early spring and the weather was slightly cool, but the boy
pretended to hold a paper fan in his hand.
Nangong Yue couldn't believe it when she
looked at the young man who suddenly appeared. She felt as if she had been
struck by thunder, rumbling in her ears. The surrounding sounds seemed to be
separated by an invisible barrier. For the first time, she couldn't control her
emotions. Her face was as pale like paper.
How come? ! It turned out to be him! Why is
he here! ?
He turned out to be Xiao Yi!
Xiao Yi, Di eldest son of
Zhennan Wang, was born in a prominent family. He was conferred as Shizi when
he was just born. At the age of 15, he was sent to Wangdu as a hostage. Three
years later, he left Wangdu without authorization and his whereabouts are
unknown. Zhennan Wang was very angry. He cut off his Shizi title and
bestow title Shizi to his second Di son.
In the second year of Xuhe, Xiao Yi, who
had long been forgotten by everyone, returned to southern Xinjiang. He broke
into the Zhennan palace alone, chopped off the head of his younger brother Xiao
Luan in front of his father, and then stabbed his father to death with a sword.
He washed the Zhennan palace with blood and controlled the military power in
southern Xinjiang with momentum of thunder.
At that time, Xiao Yi's methods were cruel
and his tyrannical behavior caused an uproar in the entire Dayu Dynasty.
Imperial censors one after another has wrote petitions asking the emperor to
apprehend the murderer in upright manner and rules. However, Han Lingfu was
still afraid of his military power and had to confer him the title Zhennan Wang
(king of Zhennan).
Since then, Xiao Yi was in charge of
Southern Xinjiang, occupying an area of land as the king. He had no heart of
submission to the Dayu Dynasty.
At that time, she was willing to seek
revenge even ask the tiger for its skin(ask sb to do that's impossible), secretly
cooperated with the ambitious Xiao Yi, and finally destroyed Han lingfu's
imperial dynasty.
She still remember that day when Xiao Yi’s
army invaded the palace and killed people upon seeing. Blood stained the
palace and screams were endless. She finally realized why Xiao Yi was known as
a God of killing. When women and children listened to it will go pale.
She had no idea that she could meet him
here.
is he the ml? and i'm also disappointed by the fact that fl thinks she's always right when that doctor doubts her which is justified coz she's still a child this time and she didn't even justify/explain her actions properly and still thinks everyone should believe her, like bruh? this move is kinda dumb
