The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Li suddenly asked, "Princess Jingying, why do you want Lord Yao to owe you a favor?"

When Li learned that Jingying's purpose was just to help Miss Yao with her medical treatment, she felt relieved, knowing that she had earned the eight hundred taels of silver today!

But she still had a question in her mind: why did Jingying use such means to win over Yao Yuntao? As a noble daughter of a royal family, what was her purpose in wanting to win over a high-ranking official in the court?

"Madam Yao, you don't have to worry about this! You just need to be responsible for administering the medicine. You will receive the remaining 500 taels of silver after the task is completed." After Jingying said this, she placed the banknotes and medicine powder on the table, then stood up and left the Yage.

Li packed up both items and left the restaurant with Yao Bilian.

On the way back, Yao Bilian asked, "Mom, are you worried that Princess Jingying will harm Dad?"

Li said, "No, I'm not worried about that! She must have something to ask of your father but she has no way to get him, so she came up with this idea. I'm wondering if I can use this opportunity to make your father recognize us as mother and daughter."

Yao Bilian curled her lips and said, "But he already has a wife and children now. Even if he recognizes us, we will still be concubines and illegitimate children!"

Li thought to herself: As long as I can please him, what's the harm in being born out of wedlock? It's a pity that you're not as pretty as Miss Yao...

This matter has always been a concern for Mrs. Li. She doesn't understand why Qinghe and Miss Yao are both very beautiful even though they have the same father, but her own Bilian is plain-looking, short and fat?

It would have been fine if there were no two of them to compare with, but once they stood together, the difference was very obvious. Li thought that she was not bad looking, so why was the daughter she gave birth to not as good as others!

Jealousy and unwillingness made Li secretly put the powder into the tea that night. As a result, when she woke up early the next morning, she heard from the maids that the young lady had many rashes on her body and her whole body was itchy!

Mrs. Yao hurriedly ordered someone to find a doctor to treat her daughter, but seven or eight doctors came in a row and were helpless. They all said they had never seen such a strange disease.

Neither the herbal soup for clearing away heat and detoxifying nor the herbal bath for exorcising evil spirits were effective. After three days, Yao Ruolan's entire body was covered with red rashes. The itchiness was unbearable and she couldn't even sleep at night.

Mrs. Yao was so anxious seeing her beautiful daughter become like this that she cried. She sent people everywhere to seek medical treatment and medicine, and promised that she would be willing to pay a high price for medical treatment as long as someone could cure her daughter's strange disease.

Yao Yuntao was also very anxious. After the morning court session that day, he walked out of the palace with a worried look on his face.

Suddenly, someone called him from behind, "Master Yao, please stay!"

Yao Yuntao looked back and saw the eldest prince Miao Wuchen approaching gracefully. He asked with great concern, "Your Excellency looked upset these past two days. I wonder what's the matter?"

Yao Yuntao smiled bitterly and said, "My daughter suddenly got an unknown rheumatism two days ago. I asked many doctors to treat her but none of them worked. Seeing that the symptoms are getting worse, I can't help but feel a little anxious..."

"Don't worry, my lord. I'll send the imperial physician to take a look. Who knows, there might be a chance of recovery."

Although Yao Yuntao didn't hold out much hope, he still clasped his hands together and bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. If you can cure my daughter's illness, it will be a relief for me."

Miao Wuchen said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, sir. I will send someone over after I return."

……

At noon that day, the eunuch from the palace led a doctor dressed in plain clothes to Yao's house.

After seeing this, Yao Yuntao couldn't help but feel suspicious. The eldest prince clearly said that he would send a royal doctor to take a look, so why was this person not wearing a royal doctor's uniform? Instead, he looked like a quack...

The eunuch introduced, "Master Yao, this is Doctor Song, who is the best at treating gout and swelling! Your Highness originally wanted to ask Imperial Doctor Luo to come, but when Imperial Doctor Luo heard that Miss Yao was suffering from gout, he recommended his junior brother, Doctor Song."

Although Yao Yuntao still had some doubts in his heart, he politely asked the wet nurse to take Doctor Song to the back garden.

Mrs. Yao's eyes were swollen from crying. Her daughter was scratched all over and her face was so red and swollen that her eyes could not be seen. As a mother, she felt heartbroken. When she heard that a doctor had come from the palace, she held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked the doctor to take a look.

Doctor Song, who looked a bit like a quack, took one look and concluded that Miss Yao was poisoned by foxtail grass. This instantly restored some confidence for Mrs. Yao, and she hurriedly asked, "Doctor, is there any way?"

Doctor Song stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Yes, there is... but it's a bit troublesome. It requires a kind of Western flower called Fire Crane Orchid as a medicine guide, combined with a medicine soup for external application and internal consumption."

Mrs. Yao immediately asked anxiously, "But where can I find this kind of flamingo orchid?"

"Madam Yao, this kind of flower is very common in the Western Regions. It often grows together with foxtail grass, but I don't know where to find it in the capital..."

When Mrs. Yao heard this, the little flame of hope that had just been ignited was immediately extinguished. She couldn't help but cry softly, "My poor Lan'er..."

The eunuch said, "Madam Yao, don't worry. I heard that there is a concubine in the Zhenguo Mansion who likes to grow all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Madam, you can send someone to ask her."

Madam Yao was surprised and asked, "Duke Zhenguo's Mansion?"

The eunuch bowed and said, "Yes! I heard that the concubine's family used to be a doctor, and they love to grow all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. It's possible that they have it. Madam, you can send someone to ask."

Mrs. Yao hurried to the front hall to discuss the matter with her husband, and Yao Yuntao sent someone to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

An hour later, the housekeeper came back in a hurry with a bunch of anthuriums.

Doctor Song took some petals, mashed them and mixed them with medicinal powder, then made them into pills the size of longan and asked Miss Yao to take them. Then he asked her to soak the remaining leaves and stalks in hot water for a bath.

He assured her solemnly, "Please rest assured, Madam Yao, with the internal medicine and bathing, Miss Yao will be back to normal in three days, without any scars left!"

Mrs. Yao was so moved that she burst into tears...

Strangely enough, ever since Miss Yao took the pills, she really hasn't felt itchy anymore!

After taking a shower in the evening, the redness and swelling on my body had disappeared by more than half!

The maids and servants hurried to the upper room to tell the good news to the Yao couple. Mrs. Yao was relieved when she heard it. She turned to Yao Yuntao and said, "It is thanks to the doctor recommended by the prince that Lan'er's illness was cured so quickly. Shouldn't we prepare some gifts to express our gratitude?"

Yao Yuntao frowned and said nothing after hearing this...

Logically speaking, such a big favor should be reciprocated, but his identity is too sensitive. If he really sends some expensive gifts, it will definitely cause a big stir. People will think that he is openly standing on the side of the eldest prince...
