After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

For two consecutive days, Feng Qiongzhu stayed indoors and locked herself in the study room, memorizing various prescriptions that she had memorized in her previous life.

The entire desk was filled with sheets of densely written papers. As time passed, Feng Qiongzhu finally put down her pen.

"Master, you should take a rest. You haven't left the study for almost two days." The speaker was Xuan Qi, the new hidden guard who came to serve her. As she spoke, she quickly sorted out the written prescription papers and placed them in a corner of the desk.

Feng Qiongzhu turned her wrist and replied with a smile: "It will be ready soon. Please call the person in charge of the pharmacy over here. I have something to discuss with him."

Feng Qiongzhu continued to ask: "Where are Xuanyi and the others? Aren't they still studying?"

When Xuan Qi heard the patriarch mention the other hidden guards, he sneered contemptuously: "Patriarch, please don't mention those people. However, there is no study today. They are staying at the Taoist temple to wait for the situation."

"Oh?" Feng Qiongzhu was stunned for a moment before she said, "Tell me what happened?"

Xuan Qi glanced at the uncertain head of the family and said, "Commander Xiao followed your instructions and led people to check the situation over there. According to the news that came back, the former traitors seem to have really come over here, and Xuan Yi is leading people over there to prepare for battle."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Feng Qiongzhu shot a cold gaze at Xuan Qi.

Xuan Qi was so frightened by that cold and piercing gaze that he fell to his knees. "I'm sorry, Patriarch. Commander Xiao specifically told me before he left that if you were in the valley, there would be no need to pass on the news to you. He said he could handle it and let you have a good rest."

Feng Qiongzhu was also thinking slightly at this time. Her strength was already not low, but it seemed that everyone still treated her like a little girl and protected her. Maybe she should do what a fourteen-year-old should do?

Looking at Xuan Qi kneeling in front of him, he said helplessly: "Get up, you still have to tell me everything in the future, you are mine."

Xuan Qi understood, and quickly stood up and stood properly.

Feng Qiongzhu smiled and said, "Since my uncle doesn't want me to know, I won't ask. Don't let the person in charge of the pharmacy come to me. I'll go over there and take a look. You tell me about the situation of the person in charge of the pharmacy."

"Yes." Xuan Qi responded respectfully, "The person in charge of the pharmacy was the imperial physician who originally followed the princess. He has stayed in the valley ever since. He has no children and is now sixty-two years old. Occasionally, when he meets a child with some talent, he takes him with him to teach him."

Xuan Qi and Feng Qiongzhu stopped in front of a wooden house, where they saw an old man with white hair busy fiddling with herbs on the shelf in the yard.

Feng Qiongzhu knew that this must be the old doctor that Xuan Qi had mentioned. The old man was in good health, with a pair of deep and bright eyes. He held various herbs in his hands and smelled them here and there.

Feng Qiongzhu stood outside the courtyard gate and watched him carefully select, sort and dry the fruits. He seemed so serious and focused with every step.

He is an old man worthy of respect.

Feng Qiongzhu walked forward slowly, stopped beside the white-haired old man, and asked softly, "Old man, what's your name?"

The white-haired old man was startled when he heard the voice, then he looked at Xuan Qi beside the little girl, understood, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Meet the master of the family."

Feng Qiongzhu hurriedly helped him up with both hands and turned her gaze to the medicinal herbs that the old man was drying. Every piece of herb was clean and bright, and a faint medicinal fragrance could be smelled.

She squatted down, gently picked up a dried herb, sniffed the scent, her eyes lit up, and praised: "The old man's skill in preparing medicinal herbs is good."

Feng Qiongzhu secretly marveled. It seemed that this old doctor had a very deep foundation in medical skills, especially in the skill of preparing medicinal materials. Even she had studied ghost medicine for so long in her previous life, but she still couldn't reach the level of this old man. It seemed that being old also had its advantages...

The white-haired old man saw that the little girl seemed to know a lot about medicinal herbs, so he hurried forward to ask, "Excuse me, Master, was the antidote recipe that the commander sent over some time ago from you?"

After saying this, his face was full of expectation, and he seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued: "Master, my last name is Gu, you can just call me Old Gu, everyone in the valley calls me that."

Feng Qiongzhu couldn't help but laugh, and said slowly: "Okay, Mr. Gu, I came to see you because I want to discuss something with you. It's a bit sunny outside, can we go inside and talk slowly?"

"Okay, okay, please come in, Master."

Feng Qiongzhu looked around Mr. Gu's room. Everything was simple and elegant.

The white-haired old man motioned Feng Qiongzhu to sit down in front of the coffee table.

She watched the old man slowly take down an antique teapot from the shelf. It looked like an old item, and his fingers were shaking as he held the teapot.

Feng Qiongzhu walked forward, took the teapot from Mr. Gu, and said, "Mr. Gu, if you trust me, how about I make tea for you? I am quite confident in my tea-making skills. You can try it later."

He raised his head with a warm smile on his face and said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, come on, I am blessed today."

Old Man Gu slowly returned to the coffee table. He watched Feng Qiongzhu making tea. Every movement revealed her unparalleled skill and concentration. Her fair little hands carefully poured tea leaves into the teapot, then slowly poured hot water over it. In an instant, the whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

"Grandpa, your tea is really good. Are there many ancient tea trees in this mountain?" Feng Qiongzhu asked with a smile.

Old Gu took the tea she handed over, stroked his graying beard with a smile, and said, "Of course, this is what I like."

"What a coincidence! We two are kindred spirits." Feng Qiongzhu laughed and slowly poured herself a cup of tea.

Old Gu was slightly shocked physically and mentally. He had been hiding in this valley all his life, without any children. Suddenly, such a young girl appeared and became the head of the family here. She even called him grandpa and grandpa. This feeling seemed not bad.

Feng Qiongzhu gently lifted the teapot and slowly and gracefully filled the old man's cup of tea. The aroma of tea filled the air and an expression of satisfaction filled Mr. Gu's face.

Seeing him sitting there leisurely, Xuan Qi's mouth twitched. This old man usually bullied them by relying on his old age, but he was so rude in front of the head of the family...

Xuan Qi was secretly complaining in his heart: This owner of the house is really something, why doesn't he get down to business? I really don't know what's so good about this tea. It's just a few old leaves on the mountain. It's so hard for the little ones like them to pick those old leaves for this old man. There's nothing wrong with that old tea tree, it just grows in the middle of a cliff, and it's so difficult to pick them.
