A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 360 3 Xiu returns Si Yao's property to its original owner

"It's been three days, sir, and you still haven't prepared the antidote?"

"I'm just a doctor, not a god. How can I find the formula in just a few days with just half a pill?"

In the tea room of Sanxiu Pharmacy, Honghua was pacing back and forth with an anxious look on her face, while Mr. Sanxiu, who was sitting next to her, was looking at an incomplete prescription on the table with a sad face. But when he heard the complaints of the woman who was swaying in front of him, his face immediately darkened and muttered.

A few days ago, Honghua rushed to Sanxiu Pharmacy with the half antidote given by Youmei, the head of Yingmen. When he learned that Mr. Sanxiu still couldn't find the antidote for the flower bite poison, he felt very disappointed.

Although Mr. Sanxiu could smell most of the original medicinal materials with this half antidote, there were always one or two faint medicinal scents that he could not detect, and the dosage of these original medicines still took time to mix. He had to be more cautious about this matter of life and death, so he returned the bag of golden beans that Honghua had left behind intact while feeling frustrated.

"But you are also a great doctor with superb medical skills!" Honghua put her hands on her hips, becoming even more anxious. If Mr. Sanxiu couldn't cure the poison of the flower bite, then who else in the world could? Did she have to go to the Western Regions to find the antidote?

"You're too kind. I'm just an ordinary doctor. Madam Honghua, there's no need to flatter me. As the saying goes, there's always someone better than you. There are many people in this world whose medical skills are better than mine. Why bother hanging yourself on a tree like mine?" Sanxiu snorted coldly with a self-deprecating mood, then threw the pen in his hand onto the desk and said dejectedly.

"You..." Honghua was so angry at Sanxiu's attitude that she was speechless. No matter what, her sister still relied on the old man for treatment. She naturally could not offend him completely, so she could only turn around and leave angrily.

At the same time, the door of the tea room was opened by Xiuming, but he was caught off guard and almost knocked to the ground by Honghua who rushed out.

"Master, what happened to Madam Honghua?" Xiu Ming straightened his belt, glanced at Honghua's hurried figure, then entered the tea room and asked Sanxiu.

"What else can she do? The flower bite poison has not been cured yet, so she is naturally anxious." Sanxiu still looked at the incomplete formula in front of him and sighed.

Xiu Ming couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, then he looked back at the door and walked forward again, whispering to San Xiu: "Master, from the rare poison in Miss Xuanyu's body and the half antidote that Madam Honghua got from nowhere, I always feel that their identities..."

"As doctors, we only care about curing diseases and saving lives. Why do we care about their identities?" Before Xiuming could finish his words, Sanxiu immediately raised his eyes and glanced at his apprentice, and said seriously.

After hearing what his master said, Xiu Ming had no choice but to shut up and let out a gentle smile.

"What brings you here?"

Sanxiu also knew that he was worried about the safety of the pharmacy, but how could he refuse to treat a patient who came to him for treatment and even drive him away?

"The medicine to be sent to the military camp is ready. Master, don't you want to go with us?" Hearing his master's question, Xiu Ming smiled gently again.

"Yeah, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it." Sanxiu finally reacted and hurriedly stood up. However, perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, he felt dizzy when he stood up suddenly. Fortunately, Xiuming supported him in time.

"It's just to return two things. How about letting your disciple go?" Ever since Madam Honghua came back with half a pill of antidote, the master has been staying up late every night to work out the formula. Xiuming felt distressed seeing this.

"No, A Yao is my apprentice, and also half daughter of me, Sanxiu. Some things must be made clear by an elder like your master." Sanxiu waved her hand, then bent down and picked up the warm tea on the table.

"Junior sister can handle her own affairs, why should Master worry about it? Besides, this is not the first time you have advised the prince..."

"You are so generous!"

Before Xiuming could finish, Sanxiu curled her lips, gave him a sidelong glance, then turned and walked out of the tea room. Xiuming smiled helplessly and followed him out.

The plague was rampant in the southern border of Jingsong State. Although Liunan State had closed its northern border, it was still next to Jingsong State. To be on the safe side, the Xiyue Army helped Wucang Army drive Liunan Army out of Wucang State and then called back to Xiyue. Afterwards, Yan Zongbian sent people to investigate the epidemic situation in the southern border of Jingsong State, and asked Yu Cheng to purchase a large amount of plague prevention medicine from Sanxiu Pharmacy.

Although Sanxiu was dissatisfied with the Xiyue Army's participation in the war in the south, he could not ignore the plague as it was a serious matter, so he asked his eldest disciple Xiuming to prepare enough medicinal materials as soon as possible.

As the sun was setting, in the prince's tent, General Shufeng accompanied the prince to finish dinner. Shufeng then remembered to say:

"By the way, Wu Cang sent someone to ask us when we will attack Liunan this morning."

"They drove Liunan's army out of Wucang Country for them, and they got too proud of themselves?" Yan Zong sneered after drinking half a cup of warm tea.

"Anyway, we still have to wait and see about the epidemic in Liunan, so why don't we eliminate Wu Cang first, so that we can focus on dealing with Liunan in the future!" Shufeng leaned towards Yan Zong and whispered.

"No, we are fighting against Liunan in the name of helping Wu Cang. This war is between Wu Cang and Liunan. If we destroy Wu Cang first, then we will have no reason to attack Liunan. His Majesty advocates that only by having a legitimate reason to fight can we silence the people. The plan of Xiyue Kingdom must be carried out step by step and not too hastily. Otherwise, if the other countries see the clues, they will surely be in danger and unite to deal with Xiyue." But Shufeng's suggestion was immediately rejected by Yan Zong. Xiyue Kingdom is not yet strong enough to not be afraid of the other countries joining forces, so they have to be patient.

"Prince Zong is worthy of being the right-hand man of the emperor. His talent in governing the country is no less than that in leading troops in battle." Shufeng thought Yan Zong's words made sense, so he smiled humorously.

"When did you learn the flattery of Magistrate Situ?" Yan Zong glanced at him and sneered.

Shu Feng was choked for a moment. At this moment, Yu Cheng came in and reported to Yan Zong:

"Your Highness, Mr. Sanxiu has arrived with medicinal herbs."

"Just some medicinal herbs, why would he come all the way here in person?" Yan Zong frowned when he heard this. Although he asked this, he seemed to have guessed why Mr. Sanxiu came.

"Mr. Sanxiu said he had something to discuss with Your Highness." Yu Cheng continued.

"Bring him in." Yan Zong said calmly, and then turned his eyes to Shu Feng who was still sitting still beside him: "It's getting late, the general should go to the training ground."

"What's the matter that even I don't know?" Although Shufeng moved, he still asked curiously.

I have long known the relationship between Sanxiu Pharmacy and Prince Zong. The late Concubine Leng was Mr. Sanxiu's eldest disciple. However, after Concubine Leng entered the palace, she rarely had contact with Sanxiu Pharmacy. Now that many years have passed, Shufeng is naturally curious about the private relationship between Prince Zong and Mr. Sanxiu.

"No." Yan Zong's face turned cold and he looked at Shufeng.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving." Shu Feng felt numb all over from the other party's cold eyes, and he quickly stood up and walked out of the tent.

As soon as Shufeng walked out, he saw Mr. Sanxiu holding two exquisite boxes and walking towards the tent with Yu Cheng.

"General Shufeng." Sanxiu just nodded and smiled faintly when he saw Shufeng.

"Mr. Sanxiu, long time no see. How are you?" Facing the great doctor of the Southern Territory, Mr. Sanxiu, Shufeng also bowed respectfully and said with a smile.

"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, General." Sanxiu replied calmly and went back to the tent.

Seeing this, Shu Feng hurried forward and tried to eavesdrop outside the tent, but was pulled away by Yu Cheng: "General, isn't it bad to eavesdrop on His Highness's conversation?"

"What is that Mr. Sanxiu is holding? It looks like a jewelry box, right?"

Yu Cheng did not respond to Shu Feng's curiosity, but just pulled him away from Prince Zong's tent.

"What do you mean, Mr. Sanxiu?" Inside the tent, Yan Zong looked at the two familiar boxes on the table, raised his cold eyes slightly, and asked Sanxiu who was standing in front of him.

"Before A Yao became a traveling doctor, he asked me to find a chance to return these two things to their original owner." Sanxiu naturally didn't have a good face when facing Yan Zong.

Yan Zong said nothing, but reached out to open a box. Looking at the long-lost aster flower bracelet, a hint of tenderness appeared on his cold face.

"My disciple A Yao's meaning is very clear, so I hope the prince will respect himself and not make things difficult for her in the future." Seeing that the prince remained silent, Sanxiu continued.

"It is hard for Mr. Sanxiu to come here in person to tell me. I heard it." Yan Zong still looked at the bracelet in front of him and said in a calm voice.

"Did you hear that? And then what?"

"Since Mr. Sanxiu has said so, what else can I say?"

Sanxiu was a little surprised that Yan Zong was not as aggressive as before, but he did not think much about it and just thought that the boy was hurt. He glanced at the aster flower bracelet and left dejectedly.

Mr. Sanxiu's words also reminded Yan Zong of what Si Yao said when she rejected him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
