The Resplendent Farming Apothecary (Web Novel) - Chapter 157
Chapter 157
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
While Gu Ye was feeling sorry for herself, Ling Juechen, who was far away in the capital of the Yan Kingdom, received a letter from his men stationed in the Nameless Town. He stood up out of the blue and the chair behind him tumbled to the ground with a loud bang.
Yin Ba, who was hiding in the shadows, was surprised by the panic in his master’s face. His invincible Master, who would never blink an eye even if Mount Tai was to collapse, now had eyes brimming with worry, anxiety and urgency.
”Someone, summon Adjutant General Sun!” Ling Juechen took a deep breath and looked at the note that he had just taken from the carrier pigeon. The little girl fell ill, and even the Medical Sage almost couldn’t save her. How serious her illness must be! The little girl must have suffered a lot! He was too negligent. The little girl was abused since childhood, leaving hidden dangers in her body. He should have let Yin Mei send Medical Sage over to help her recover and be in good health. Ling Jiechen itched to smack himself a few times!
Sun You soon arrived. Ling Juechen said without hesitation, “I’m going to Yan City of the Dongling Kingdom!”
”General, please don’t! We are at a critical time. If you leave the capital without authorization, all our previous efforts will be wasted, and you will also give others a handle. Please think twice!” Sun You was shocked when he heard his plan. He immediately knelt down on one knee and asked Ling Juechen to change his mind.
The Emperor was bedridden, and the princes under him were eager to take action. The Great King General Ling Juechen had a pivotal position in the court. It could be said that with his support, a great cause could be halfway through success. The overweeningly ambitious Second Prince resented the King General after he failed to draw him to his side.
Last time, he deliberately embarrassed the King General, treating him as an errand boy and euphemistically wrapped it in a glorified reason as searching medicine for His Majesty. This time, the Great King General, who was in charge of the northwest army, had returned to his territory. However, the Second Prince deliberately kept him in the capital. Who knew what kind of bad thing he was cooking up? At this juncture, if Ling Juechen was to leave the capital to go to the Dongling Kingdom without authorization, wouldn’t this be tantamount to handing over a flaw to the Second Prince?
Ling Juechen’s sanity gradually returned. Sun You’s words made sense. If he leaves, the Second Prince will certainly dare to convict him of collaborating with the enemy and of treason. He secretly swore that in this life he would support Gu Ye in a warm and peaceful world. This matter must be considered in the long run!
However, worries were still gnawing at Ling Juechen’s heart, and frost covered the face of this invincible handsome man. Second Prince, this King will never let you get your wish!
After seeing Sun You off, Ling Juechen paced restlessly in the study. With the brothers, Medical Sage and Senior Brother, there should be no surprises for the girl who passed through the dangerous period, right? That girl is most afraid of taking bitter medicine. I wonder if she will refuse to cooperate.
”Ba!” Ling Juechen called towards the place where Yin Ba was hiding.
”Please give your orders!” Yin Ba promptly appeared in the study, clasped his fists and bowed his head.
”Take the glassware you just produced and set off overnight to Yan City, Dongling Kingdom. Pay close attention to any news from the Jun Manor!” Ling Juechen dispatched one of his most powerful subordinates in the Hidden Soul Hall.
”Understood!” Yin Ba’s heart fluctuated a thousand times: The Jun family of Yan City? That is a family with two generations of imperial teachers to the emperors of the Dongling Kingdom. Don’t tell me… Is the Yan Kingdom ready to attack the Dongling Kingdom?
”Get back here! In the treasury, there are two-thousand-year-old ginseng, five boxes of blood swallows… and the blood ganoderma that the Old King General collected…and those boxes of cordyceps, take them along with you as well…” Ling Juechen wanted to send all the tonics in the palace to the little girl.
Yin Ba scratched his head and asked cautiously, “For whom?”
Ling Juechen’s striking eyes glared at him as he replied, “To Sage Apothecary, just say that it’s from me. He will naturally understand!”
”Understood. This subordinate will get to it right away!” The Sage Apothecary? Wasn’t he sent to Qingshan Village by Yin Mei to be the master of the little girl from the Gu family? How could he appear in Yan City? Doesn’t that mean that the little girl from the Gu family is also in Yan City?
Could it be that…she was living in the Jun Residence, and so when the Hall Master asked him to pay attention to the Jun Residence, it wasn’t what he thought first, but to watChapter over the little lady of the Gu family? Yin Ba felt that he understood the truth of the matter, and that his master was one really affectionate guy.
Sure enough…
Ling Juechen stopped him again, “When you arrive in Yan City, if there is any news about that girl, immediately send them to me. Have you kept it in mind?”
Yeah, I’ve memorized it! How could he be negligent about the future mistress? Yin Ba noiselessly disappeared from the study. However, he still couldn’t figure it out. His master’s taste was too strange. What was so good about that skinny and more or less unpretty little country bumpkin that deserved his Master’s special treatment?
Ling Juechen opened the window of the study, and the biting wind blew on his face. He stood upright in the window, looking in the direction of the Dongling Kingdom, remaining motionless for a long time. After a long spell, he sighed deeply…
Yan City, the Jun Residence.
”Miss Gu, the room is ready, please go there.” A young girl who was not muChapter older than Gu Ye came over to invite her with a smile.
With Dong Xue’s help, Gu Ye followed behind the little maid. Looking at the new-looking blue coat and aqua-green bottom skirt on the maid, although it was extremely ordinary, it was muChapter better than many young girls in the village. No wonder some people were eager to sell their daughters to wealthy families as maids; they wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing, and their monthly salary was a blessing that the whole family could enjoy.
”Miss, it’s here!” Dong Xue noticed that Miss Gu was distracted again, so when she was walking towards the threshold, she couldn’t help but remind her.
Gu Ye blinked, lifted her legs and entered the room. The fireplace was burning in the house, making it warm. As soon as she entered the door, there was an eight-span flower-and-bird screen. When she turned, she saw a red canopy bed with exquisite carvings. The bed was hung with pink double embroidered red plum chiffon curtains and was covered with a thick and soft embroidered brocade quilt.
There was also a dressing table beside the bed with a bronze mirror in front of it. Gu Ye walked forward and gently picked up the bronze mirror, then a hazy figure appeared in it: thin chin, narrow face, a pair of big eyes that took up almost half of the face, and rough hair — How come she looked like she had come out of a refugee camp? Gu Ye covered the bronze mirror with disgust.
”Miss Gu, is there something else you want? Please feel free to tell this old maid, and I will arrange it to the best of my abilities,” the Momo who greeted them at the entrance smiled and said.
