"Going back? Is the business regarding the Pavilion of Herbs settled?"
Lin Mengya pondered for a moment before she raised the question.
"Yes, I suppose Zuo Qiuyu and Zuo Qiuchen will be able to handle the remaining matters."
Long Tianyu reached out his hand to push her back into the blanket. It seemed that Zuo Qiuyu was right. It was easier to bring her out of there when she was asleep.
"How about Hongyu and the rest? Moreover, I need to find a place to settle them down before I leave, right?"
Unable to stop worrying, Lin Mengya pressed on with her questioning and as a result, Long Tianyu did not know whether to cry or to laugh.
Holding her tightly in his embrace, Long Tianyu answered every one of her questions patiently.
"They wanted to follow you. As for those who wished to go home, I've sent them home. Don't you worry anymore. Why don't you just take a good rest on the horse carriage? We ma
Lin Mengya fingered through the documents and realized that apart from letters that contained descriptions of the symptoms, there were some written prescriptions from the doctors in the areas affected by the pandemic.The prescriptions might not be useful, but from the drugs the physicians prescribed, she was able to make some educated guesses.The first few components of the prescription contain herbs that help detox and cool down the body.However, the components that came after included a drug called the Bone Transplant Flower.The name of this drug could be found in the music score for the green stringed instrument. Although it was not frequently used, it was one of the components of a prescription called "Marrow Cleansing Powder", which was commonly used to stimulate blood circulation and relax muscles and joints.The prescription was obviously meant to treat the pandemic, why should its efficacy be to stimulate b
Although they were still in the horse carriage, the wax-sealed letters were handed to her one after another because of Long Tianyu's instructions.Lin Mengya's eyebrows would always knit together every time she opened a yellow letter.Beautiful as she was, her beauty had been overshadowed by the many worries she had.Although Long Tianyu's heart ached for Lin Mengya, he knew that she was working so hard because she could sense something fishy regarding the pandemic situation."You must be tired; you should take a rest."From the night until daybreak, apart from the time she ate and slept, Lin Mengya had spent the entire time meticulously studying the situation at the affected areas.The more she understood the situation, the more she found it very strange in some ways.The special characteristics of the pandemic included being highly contagious and a high rate of infection. However, the chance
The wind blowing over the Immortal Road was as wild as ever, but Lin Mengya was no longer as scared as when she first walked on it.Following Long Tianyu's lead, she reached the other side of the bridge safe and sound."Master!"The moment she set her foot on the ground, she heard Baishao's cry of surprise, which filled her heart with joy."Baishao, you... how come you are here?"Standing not far away, Baishao was clad in plain clothes. She seemed to have lost some weight, but her cheeks were still ruddy.At this time, she was rushing through the crowd toward Lin Mengya with excitement.Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, streaked her fair face, and wetted her collar.To Lin Mengya, Baishao was not just a maid; she was like family.Baishao rushed up to Lin Mengya and observed her carefully. After making sure that there was no scratch on her, she held her hands tigh
Judging from the man's tone, he didn't do it on purpose.Baishao made no reply but turned to look at Lin Mengya, looking like she was waiting for her instructions.After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya gently shook her head at the maid.Since the man didn't mean to offend her, she shouldn't pursue the matter."It's okay. My princess is in a hurry, so we must move forward now."Baishao was taking care of the situation.While Lin Mengya was sitting in the carriage, she was listening intently to what was happening outside."Yes, Your Highness."To Lin Mengya's surprise, the square-faced man didn't make things hard for her.He let them enter the gate directly. Baishao, who was always alert, guarded Lin Mengya by the carriage door."This man is so rude. How could he smash our carriage recklessly!"Baishao's delicate brows knitted together as she
Though the little boy did not show her any respect along the way, he did not do anything out of line either.Nevertheless, Lin Mengya had gotten to know the boy well.Considering the environment he had grown up in, it was natural for him to be so arrogant, introverted, and eccentric.Therefore, Lin Mengya only treated him as a child who was stroppy.It was just that Zhu Yun had once told her to teach Zhu Yan well. This child was very smart, decisive, and different from ordinary children.Looking at Zhu Yan, Lin Mengya somehow thought of Lin Zhongyu.That boy used to be cold-hearted as well, but in the end, he learned to be gentle and forbearing.He was quiet and aloof, while Zhu Yan was outgoing and hot-tempered. Both of them were very unruly and unyielding.Children like them were destined to be extraordinary, but at the same time, they needed careful guidance."I'm
Although mother had rooted herself in the foreign land, she ought to have missed her homeland very much.She could imagine how much effort her mother had made in order not to have her identity exposed back then.If her mother could witness from heaven, how she had been reunited with her cousins, Lin Mengya was sure that she would be greatly comforted."Oh yes, did anyone create any disturbance at the Art Courtyard while I was away?"By now, Lin Mengya had completely no scruples about the pretend Concubine De.Moreover, given Long Tianyu's intelligence, he might well have started to be suspicious.The disorderly band in the Art Courtyard was Long Tianyu's way of deceiving the mastermind behind the scenes.Now that the situation in the palace was unstable and the real Concubine De was still in the queen's hands, it was needful that they guard against certain things."How would they
Her sarcastic tone of voice gave her identity away. She sounded nothing like a magnanimous royal concubine.Lin Mengya looked up and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She was neither supercilious nor obsequious. On the surface, she seemed to hold high regard for Concubine De.Nevertheless, someone with sharp eyes would be able to tell that Lin Mengya could not care less about Concubine De."Mother, I won't forget any of your instructions, not even for a moment. Although I was out and about, I'm always thinking about you. I've brought home a present for you. Please take good care of your health."After she finished speaking, Lin Mengya picked up a long brocade box from Baizhi's hands.The purplish silver pattern on the box made it look extraordinary."Alright, that's more like it. You seemed to be more conscientious now."It was not right to Concubine De to be unkind to a smiling Lin
"In the evening, when I went over to Art Courtyard to deliver the dangling ornament, I heard from the old maids there that the woman in the Art Courtyard lost her temper and flew into a rage."That particular dangling ornament was really personally picked by Long Tianyu. On top of that, it was very similar to the one Concubine De used to wear.If this woman recognized that dangling ornament and lost her temper over it, the imposter had to be someone who was always by Concubine De's side.Not only was she familiar with Concubine De's daily habits, but she had also taken notice of the smallest details.In this case, the identity of the imposter was all too clear."Yes, I'm well aware of the situation."Long Tianyu, who was holding Lin Mengya in his arms, closed his eyes and rested, but his mind was clear as a mirror.He had hurried to the palace so soon after he returned to the capital city. Alt
The wolves didn't come forward, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing together.Looks like it was the head wolf.Lin Menya wasn't the least bit intimidated, but the head wolf's behavior was strange, it didn't make an attacking gesture.Instead"White!"The first rays of morning light blossomed and she saw the white pelt, hidden in the shadows.Heart racing, she embraced the huge figure that came hurtling at her.Unexpectedly, her little white, won!"You're really good, you came and singled out someone's boss, okay, a bit of my style!"The surprise made Lin Menya relax her entire body, but something wasn't quite right with Xiao Bai.After it plopped down on Lin Menya's body, it actually didn't move.Scared, she thought what was wrong and cleanly checked the wound for White.But what I didn't expect to hear first, was the little one's hoots and hollers.After half a day's messing around, Kohaku was exhau
"But, but we don't have silver, food and weapons, and how can we fight against those people with these 2,000 people and more?"Nie Qing stuttered a bit, he had been to the battlefield, naturally he knew that these things were not a matter of having many people."These, I have my own ways. But right now, it's a perfect time to sharpen. After dawn, the guards stationed inside and outside of Kanakura City will definitely search the mountain. If utilized properly, these two thousand or so people will become the heart of Jin Cang City. At that time, we'll eat away at these people's power little by little."An extremely large plan formed in her mind.Though she knew that there was no rush, right now, it was sort of the only way to house the two thousand or so people."You mean, let us occupy the mountain as king? That won't work, in case if the Wei people slow down and concentrate their forces on attacking us, how can we defend ourselves with just these two t
The one who spoke, was not very tall, and had only suffered a little because he was a prisoner of war.But in the end, after the army, baptized by war, the essence is still good.And, he's probably the superior of those five.The five men stood behind him out of habit, not saying a word.Lin Menya glanced at the man and couldn't help but light up.His eyes were clear and godly, with only the undaunted defiance of a soldier, without half the slipperiness and accidents of a soldier's oil, only a good soldier.The heart, too, is in the right place."In a while, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while first, with so many people, there's always a need for laws and rules. Since you've been in the army, I'd like to ask you to do these things, is that okay?"The man didn't realize that the GodEmperor was actually going to entrust him with such a thing.At once, the flame of grandeur in the man's heart was ignited.He looke
She quietly picked up the raw meat and practically crawled her way to the man's back, getting closer and closer to the man as she practically held her breath.Suddenly, the man turned his head around in a flash as if he had sensed something.Lin Mengya didn't care about anything else, the raw meat in her hand that was dipped in anesthetic, gagged the man's mouth at once.The man, shocked and angry, tries to escape.But she didn't know where the strength came from, both hands wrapped around the man's neck and tightly stuffed the large chunk of raw meat in the head of the man's mouth, refusing to part.The man, of course, was much stronger than she was, and only panicked for a moment before using his hand to tug at the flesh around his mouth.Lin Mengya was in a hurry and kneed the man in one of the acupoints on his waist.The blow was so steady and hard that the man lost a lot of strength at once, and her hand, never left the raw flesh.
Looking at the lock that was half a pound heavy, Gong Ping sighed.In fact, to this day, he didn't know who this fuss was really about.But looking at Missy's distraught look, he didn't dare to ask more.All I know is that what the lady is looking for is a large metal cage."Let's find it first, and be careful this time before someone sees us."Locked warehouses are usually guarded.This is the boundary of Kanakura Harbor, and those who are in charge of the patrol are also from Kanakura Harbor.These are the crew members who work on the ship and make their rounds on weekdays when they have nothing else to do.Lin Menya and Gong Ping dodged a group of people by virtue of their skinny bodies.But soon they were lost in the midst of dodging."How much longer do we have to look, miss?"The two crouched in the corner, Lin Moya's eyes, tightly focused on a crew that had just disappeared.Just now, they were so close t
If the nominal Gong Ya was still here, then she could have arrogantly and incomparably fought the auction with the intention of competing with the other party.But on the contrary, she couldn't easily reveal her identity.If one Lin Mengmai wasn't enough of a warning, then adding another Zhu Yan made the problem much more obvious.Lin Mengya was also thinking of a countermeasure, if it really didn't work, she would repeat her trick and use the same trick that Bai Su had used earlier to muddle through.But now that she was unprepared, it would be bad to reveal anything instead.However, the bidding didn't quite end there.Once they heard the Mu family bidding, the general public wouldn't dare to follow them.But there were still one or two, who felt that the teenager and the beast were strange, and had the guts to call for a price.Soon, the price climbed to six thousand taels.Those few families had subsided, the expensive price
But the third auction, however, made every Gong family member's heart feel a bit clogged.Because on the list, there were three dozen people from the Gong family that were being auctioned off as house slaves.Those people are the deepest hidden scars of the Gong family.From the moment the five sons of the Gong family entered, the atmosphere was, well, somewhat oppressive."My lord, the people sent by the lady have arrived."Gong Yang was still guarding the outside, but he led in a boy who was dressed, all ordinary."You go down."Gong Si waved his hand, allowing Gong Yang to leave.Turning, he asked in a low voice."What did Missy tell you to pass on?"The boy hung his head low, but pursed his lips and smiled."Missy said to spend the silver as she pleases and smash whoever she sees as disagreeable."Gong Si smiled along with him, but reached out and pulled the boy in front of a few other brothers."See,
"Hiss, why are you guys so heavy handed, trying to strangle me? Get out!"Lin Mengya yelled at the two female slaves in disgust, and the two immediately fell to their knees, trembling."Who are you playing pathetic and condescending like that for? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead!"She continued to curse, and Gong Si just couldn't stand it and ordered them to be taken out."Miyaya, how could you?""Why can't I be like this? Don't forget who's the head of the family!"Before the two slave girls went out, they heard an argument coming from inside.As slaves, they had to hang their heads lower to save themselves from the waves.How could the two of them know that since they went out, the atmosphere in the box had changed all of a sudden."Go on, keep an eye on them."Gong Si casually beckoned an attendant and softly commanded, the place where his line of sight fell, right where it should be, was the direction where
"I'm used to being at home. I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring a few satisfactory maids with me. I see that on the list for today's auction, there are female slaves trained by the Rong family. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to ask for a few in advance, do you think it's okay?"Though she played it in the name of consultation, her tone was unquestionable.Lu Feng hesitated slightly, and she immediately pulled a face."I have let you earn a lot of silver, right, so a little request can not be done, you this business ah, do not often."She was not polite in the slightest, and her voice was not small enough to be heard by anyone around her.Gongbin frowned, not the least bit displeased that she was being so capricious.He was just about to open his mouth, but he was pulled back by Gong San."Big brother, little sister is a girl after all, delicate and weak, she should also find someone to serve her. How about this, Mr. Lu, these female
