When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

The last time I stepped into the gate of Xu Mansion was more than a month ago.

At that time, the Xu Mansion was still relatively peaceful.

But now, after the broken engagement, the abduction of Mrs. Xu, Xu Guanghai being demoted and confined to his house, etc., the Xu family seems to be much more dilapidated than before.

The servants who came and went all had their faces covered with towels and their eyes showed worry.

It can be seen that they avoid people who work for Chaohuiyuan.

Xu Xinyue also pretended to cover her mouth and nose with a face towel. Since she knew that it was Qin Yuechuan who did it, he should have been targeting Xu Mingxi and Yang.

He entered Chaohui Courtyard and went into Xu Mingxi's bedroom, and saw Xu Mingxi lying on the couch.

It has only been a few days since we last met at the welcoming party, and she is completely different from the plump and beautiful girl she was back then.

At this moment, her face was pale, her cheeks were shrunk significantly, and her eye sockets seemed to be sunken. Her originally peaceful breathing became extremely difficult. Her chest rose and fell violently, accompanied by dull and heavy gasps from her throat.

This situation seems somewhat familiar.

"Good doctor, can my daughter still be saved?" Xu Guanghai covered her mouth and nose with a piece of silk soaked in medicine, and asked Xu Xinyue from a distance.

Xu Xinyue raised her hand to feel Xu Mingxi's pulse, propped up her eyelids, and observed for a moment. Without turning her head, she replied, "She can still be saved."

"Really? Then please write me a prescription quickly. You are indeed a miracle doctor! My daughter has been ill for so many times and none of them could cure her. Now that you are here, she will be saved!"

"The disease can be cured, but the medicine is hard to find."

"Divine Doctor, as long as you tell me, no matter how rare the treasure is, I will do my best to find it."

"There aren't many hard-to-find herbs. There's only one, purple salvia miltiorrhiza. Can you find it?"

"Purple Salvia miltiorrhiza..."

Xu Guanghai was in a dilemma. Such precious medicinal materials were not available to ordinary people. Even in the Xu Mansion, few people knew about them.

However, he had seen a purple salvia ginseng presented as tribute by foreign countries to the current emperor at palace banquets over the years.

It has been many years now, and I don’t know if he is still in the palace.

But at that moment he was a criminal, so how could he ask the emperor for compensation?

"Godly doctor, are there really no other herbs that can be used as substitutes?"

"You are joking, my lord. This is a key medicinal ingredient and is irreplaceable. Your beloved is so ill and weak that I am afraid we can't wait any longer.

My Lord, please send this herb to me as soon as possible. If you delay for a few more days, even I cannot guarantee what the consequences will be."

Xu Xinyue also paid attention to his expression, bowed, and stood up to leave.

When he reached the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Xu Guanghai and added:

"You can send half of the large sum of money Lord Xu promised, one thousand taels, to Jishitang first, and the rest of the money can be supplied to me after the young lady recovers."

"One thousand taels! How can you ask for so much? It's only been a short while since I joined the sect, and you want a thousand taels!"

When Xu Guanghai saw that he opened his mouth as if to ask for worthless things like flowers and plants, a cold look suddenly appeared between his brows and there was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.

"Lord Xu." Xu Xinyue was fearless and met his gaze directly.

After the incident with his father, he got to know Xu Guanghai better and knew that he might have the intention to kill.

"Now, your daughter's body is in good condition and I am the only one who can heal her. You don't have to pay the money or you can hire someone else. I will just pretend that I have never been here today.

But I have to remind you that I am probably the only one willing to risk being infected and come for treatment.

Only I can cure her. A thousand taels can save her life. Don’t you think it’s worth it?

Moreover, the fact that this prescription requires salvia miltiorrhiza is enough to show its seriousness!

Moreover, Lord Xu, I have the courage to come here alone, and I must have made preparations, I hope you know that."

After saying that, Xu Xinyue raised her lips and chuckled, then pushed the door and left.

The only people left in the room were Xu Mingxi, who was breathing heavily, and Xu Guanghai, who was frowning in thought.

He seemed to be struggling in his heart. On one side was his sick daughter who needed to be saved, and on the other side was the rare medicinal herb Salvia miltiorrhiza, which he might not be able to obtain even at the cost of his reputation.

In a dilemma.

After leaving Xu Mansion, Xu Xianyue turned around the street entrance of Xu Mansion and called out tentatively to the void: "Is there anyone there?"

Qingyang jumped down from somewhere: "Hey, Miss Xu. How did you know I was here?"

"I don't know. You came out without any test."

Qingyang was speechless, thinking about how he had tried to be clever between Xu Xinyue and "Divine Doctor Xue" several times before, and almost caused trouble for Qin Yuechuan, and how he had been "tricked" by Xu Xinyue, and felt a little embarrassed.

He really felt too embarrassed to face Xu Xinyue.

"The prince knows Xu Guanghai's character and asked me to protect you in case something happens to you."

"Well... I know. Do you know what his plan is?"

"I am only responsible for carrying out the prince's orders, and I don't know what the prince is planning. But I know that the prince is definitely venting his anger for you."

"Well... I can see that. I feel like his plan is not simple."

Xu Xinyue still doesn't know what Qin Yuechuan is up to.

Why must it be Salvia miltiorrhiza? Although Xu Mingxi's "illness" is a little complicated, this herb is obviously not needed.

Full of doubts, she returned to Jishiditang. At this time, there were few patients. She heard the doctor and the waiter whispering in each other's ears: "Doctor Guo, my brother who runs the restaurant today told me that there is a rumor today that the Duke of Zhenguo has a relapse of his hidden illness and is bedridden! Now he is looking for famous doctors everywhere. If he can cure him, he will reward you handsomely! Why don't you give it a try?"

"Hey! How can I have that ability? Who is he? The newly promoted Duke of Zhenguo, the general who protects the country, and the imperial doctors are all lined up. How can it be the turn of a commoner like me to see the doctor? Don't joke."

"That's hard to say. We ordinary people are no worse than those in the palace. Before they became imperial doctors, weren't they the same as us?"

Doctor Guo covered the mouth of the medicine picker and scolded him in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful of what you say!"

When the waiter saw Xu Xinyue coming back, he pulled Doctor Guo's hand away and walked forward to greet him with a smile, "You're back."

"I just heard you say that there are rumors that the Duke of Zhenguo has a hidden illness? A relapse? He is bedridden?"

"Yes, yes. My cousin works in a restaurant. His mother's sister's sister-in-law's brother-in-law's brother works as a waiter. He is responsible for delivering seasonal fruits and vegetables to the Duke's Mansion. I heard it from the maids and servants there."

"what……"

Xu Xinyue found it a little unbelievable. They had just met for tea at Bixiao Tower the day before, and he looked healthy. How come he was bedridden in just one day?

Or... a hidden illness?

Is it really true that illness is like a mountain falling on you?

"Do you want to go and take a look? The reward will be very high, probably not less than what the Xu Mansion offers!"
