CHAPTER 656: CHAPTER 658: AN UNDERSTANDING HEART (5 UPDATES)

The shopkeeper hurriedly took the young servants and left.

A gold ingot was enough to buy this teahouse.

The pace of their departure was swift!

After tidying up the hall, Uncle Cheng went to the carriage to fetch the medicine chest, Hemei handed over a damp towel, and Yun Jinnian leisurely wiped her hands.

Teng Fei was accustomed to Yun Jinnian’s meticulousness and attentiveness.

But for Zhao Mang, it was his first time seeing that the physician was a young lady, and this time, he had come specifically for her.

Still, Zhao Mang really couldn’t see what was so remarkable about this young lady; she just looked delicate and pretty, with a rather cool demeanor.

In Great Zhou Kingdom, those ladies of good families would drool over their masters, shamelessly clinging to them without any self-respect.

Several times he opened his mouth to say a few words, only to be interrupted by Teng Fei, leaving him unable to speak his mind.

Zhou Yunshen, however, was gently watching Yun Jinnian busy at work, a faint smile lingering on his lips.

It wasn’t until Yun Jinnian sat beside him that he spoke softly, "I’m troubling you, Fourth Miss!"

"It’s but a slight effort!"

Yun Jinnian checked Zhou Yunshen’s pulse, and she was slightly taken aback.

His own body’s cold poison had deepened, and with internal and external injuries, it was a miracle he was still alive.

"Fourth Miss, how is my master’s condition?" Teng Fei asked eagerly.

"Not very optimistic!"

Yun Jinnian told the truth and, after thinking it over, opened the medicine chest and handed a porcelain bottle to Zhou Yunshen, "Young Master Zhou, this contains Snow Lotus Pills. Take one daily!"

As she spoke, Yun Jinnian took out a brush and some paper and ink from the medicine chest and wrote down a list of medicinal herbs, "Young Master Zhou, prepare these herbs first. After I return from Huguo Temple, I’ll prepare the medicine pills for you!"

"Thank you!" Zhou Yunshen took the prescription and passed it to Teng Fei.

Teng Fei just glanced at it and his heart trembled.

Thousand-Year Ginseng, Thousand-Year Ganoderma, Hundred-year Superior Cordyceps, Hundred-Year Stone Lotus...

A long list of herb names, all demanding the very best.

But, looking at the porcelain bottle Yun Jinnian had given to his master, he couldn’t voice his concerns. The medicine Yun Jinnian provided last time was excellent; the Imperial Physician replicated an identical one back at the palace, but the efficacy was far less, and eventually it had no effect at all.

There were two reasons for coming to Tianchu Country this time: one was for treatment, and the other was for a marriage alliance.

Great Zhou Kingdom had sent a Princess over, so Tianchu Country also had to send someone for marriage to Great Zhou, and that person...

Teng Fei glanced at Yun Jinnian.

Although he had known his master’s plan for a long time, Teng Fei felt it might not be quite appropriate!

The water that can carry the boat can also overturn it. If Fourth Miss Yun was willing, it would be fine, but if she were unwilling, and the master forcibly married her, and only as a concubine...

"Young Master Zhou is too polite!" Yun Jinnian said as she began to pack up the medicine chest.

Watching her, Zhou Yunshen said gently, "Fourth Miss, may I accompany you to Huguo Temple?"

"This..."

Yun Jinnian hesitated.

Zhou Yunshen’s presence would actually be quite troublesome.

If others spoke of it later, they would only criticize her behavior, while for Zhou Yunshen, it would just be a lovely anecdote.

Seeing Yun Jinnian hesitate, Zhou Yunshen said nothing, patiently waiting for her answer.

"Young Master Zhou is seriously injured, it’s better to find a place for a good rest. The mountain road to Huguo Temple is difficult and it won’t do any good for your injury!"

"With Fourth Miss’s superb medical skills and her accompanying me, I’m sure I won’t face any danger. What do you say, Fourth Miss?"

At his words, Yun Jinnian stiffened and pursed her lips, feeling rather displeased inside, "Suit yourself then!"

Turning her head to Uncle Cheng, she said, "Uncle Cheng, go prepare the carriage. Hemei, Henuan, prepare some food, let’s go!"
