"This courtyard is my secret base. No one knows our identities. There are twenty secret guards hiding around us. Don't worry. If someone comes to kill you, I will definitely block you. My life depends on you. Even if you want to die, I won't let you die."

Then he thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I will arrange four more secret guards to protect you closely, and I will also assign two more maids who are good at martial arts to be by your side."

"Are you relieved now? If you need to go out, just tell me and I'll send more people to you. But now is an extraordinary period, so it's best not to go out. If you need anything, just ask your maid to buy it."

Feng Qiongzhu nodded to show that she understood.

Now that everything has been arranged, I have to think about other things next.

It is impossible to find this treasure in one go. It will probably take some time for Yun Kaizhou's men to go out and look for the treasure.

Feng Qiongzhu made up her mind that while they were looking for the treasure, she would stay in this small courtyard. She was too weak now and her life might be in danger if she went out.

Since it has happened, she might as well make the best of it. Her heart immediately calmed down.

"I only temporarily stabilized your body yesterday, but the poison may still break out at any time. I'll give you a list later, and you prepare the herbs I need." Feng Qiongzhu instructed seriously.

"First, do acupuncture, then use the herbs I prepared for you to make soup and take a bath. Do this for seven consecutive days, without interruption for a single day. After seven days of treatment, I can guarantee that the poison will not recur within three months. You have to find the treasure quickly, find the black heart lotus herb. Only the black heart lotus combined with my acupuncture method can completely eliminate the toxins."

Yun Kaizhou looked at the small man in front of him, who was pale and thin, but ordered him to do things with a calm and matter-of-fact attitude.

He said nothing, but there was a hint of warmth in his cold eyes.

Ever since his health improved and he no longer had to endure the excruciating pain of the poison taking effect, his entire aura has changed.

From being cold and difficult to approach before, to being lazy and relaxed now, full of life.

The whole person felt like he was alive again, still that stunningly beautiful young man, radiating vitality.

It seemed as if the whole world was waiting for him to conquer.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Feng Qiongzhu didn't bother to pay attention to him.

This person's temperament is so changeable, his mood is so up and down, it's really hard to predict.

Decided to stay away from him from now on.

Feng Qiongzhu walked out of the study without even saying hello, leaving Yun Kaizhou alone inside to think about his life.

At this time, there was a noise in the yard, and it sounded like that white-bearded Doctor Du.

Feng Qiongzhu had no choice but to walk over and said, "Alright, alright, stop yelling, you old man with a white beard, what are you yelling about?"

Doctor Du looked nervous, his eyes flickered, and his tone was a little uneasy: "I just want to know what method you used to treat the prince. I have been treating the prince for several years, but I couldn't stabilize his poison. How did you do it in one go?"

Feng Qiongzhu rolled her eyes: "You can't do it because your medical skills are not good enough, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. Besides, this is a secret. Why should I tell you? Because you are old? Because you don't take a bath?"

Doctor Du was so angry that his face turned red. He blew his beard and glared, "How can you say that to me? Go to Beijing and ask around. Everyone says that my medical skills are good. Many people have asked me to treat their illnesses, but I don't bother to answer them. Besides, how can you say that I don't take a bath? You little stinky girl, you have no respect for your parents... you... you...!"

"I, I, I, what? I won't tell you. Don't block my way. I'm going back to my room to sleep." Feng Qiongzhu walked past Doctor Du with a smug and presumptuous look.

Doctor Du was furious. No one had ever treated him like this before. He shouted at Feng Qiongzhu's back, "Are you a pig? You just got up and ate. How long has it been? You're going back to sleep?"

"I'm still a child and I need to take care of my body." The person had already entered the room, and the voice came from the closed door.

Everyone else in the yard was speechless. At this moment, a man in black came over, put his head close to Doctor Du's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Um, Doctor Du, I just heard in the prince's study that this girl seems to be the apprentice of the ghost doctor Ji Wuming."

After the man in black said this, he raised his eyebrows and gave Dr. Du a look that said "you know".

Doctor Du's mouth opened wide and his eyes were round, obviously shocked by the news.

Meanwhile, he walked dejectedly towards the pharmacy where he usually stayed, muttering: "So he learned from the ghost doctor Ji Wuming. No wonder, it's only possible with the ghost doctor's strange acupuncture skills..."

This seemingly ordinary courtyard returned to its tranquility after the quarrel between Dr. Du and Feng Qiongzhu.

The sun is shining, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the whole place is peaceful and calm. It's a good time for Feng Qiongzhu to sleep.

And in the village on the other side.

It had been two days since Feng Qiongzhu escaped from the manor. Mrs. Liu was so anxious that she kept spinning around in the house. She grabbed the old driver Chen and asked him for advice: "I don't know if that little bitch ran away or died. I didn't find the things. How can I explain to my wife?"

The old driver Chen was also overwhelmed by her nagging: "I don't know what to do. That damn girl usually seems to be silent, but I didn't expect her to run away."

"Didn't the guards sent by the madam say that they found a piece of cloth on the edge of the cliff in the back mountain? I saw that it was what the little bitch was wearing that day. Maybe she fell off the cliff and died." Liu Pozi's mouth was as sharp as a knife, and her words were as cold as the wind.

Granny Liu snorted coldly, "It's better if she's dead! It's better if she's dead! That bitch has been so stubborn for so many years. I'll write a letter to Madam and tell her that she jumped off a cliff and her body can't be found. She may have been eaten by wild dogs until there's nothing left."

She looked so mean that even old driver Chen didn't dare to look at her.

Old coachman Chen had no choice but to agree to deliver the letter. The lady had sent so many guards but couldn't find the person, so he must be in great danger.

He didn't know what the lady was looking for. This young lady had lived in this farm for so many years. What could she have that could hide from their eyes?

The few wooden boards in the woodshed had all been burned as firewood, and they even dug three feet into the ground, but still found nothing.

The entire village is under his nose, so there is no way that girl could hide anything.

Old driver Chen just felt that his wife was making a big deal out of nothing.

If there really were good stuff, wouldn't that girl have given it to herself so that she could live a better life?

She was so hungry that she was almost breathing every day. If she hadn't been afraid of starving to death and not being able to explain to the master, this little bitch would have died long ago.
